An old PIONEER.
Euoch Holt OF Davidson Celebrates His
S5th Birthday.

Z "Uncle Enoch" Holt, one Of
the oldest citizens of the county
celebrated the Seth anniversary
of his birth at his home in Da'
wilson township, near KING
Mills, on the 18th inst.
Each year on the occasion OF
this old gentIeman's birthday
his children, grandchildren and
GREAT. t.grandchildren, of whom
there are many, together with
his neig hbors and friends, meet
at the home of "Uncle Enoch"
and celebrate the day in honor of
this old pioneer. 1t is estimated
that at this last gathering there
were 300 people present and the
event was a most happy and en-
iovabIe one. Well-filled baskets
were brought by the visitors and
dinner was served in the open
ward from a table which meas
ured more than twenty yards in
length. After all had partaken
Of the feast and Jared sumptuous-
ly, any basketfuls of good
things to eat were visible, so.
great had been the preparation
of the good ladies OF the COM
munity for the occasion. In the
afternoon the crowd spent the
time pleasantly listening to recl'
tations from the younger people,
and in conversation with "Uncle
Enoch."
"Uncle Enoch" has lived in
the immediate vicinity of his
present home for sixty years or
more. He talks most interest
ingly of the early days of Sharp
county and can add many val
liable "reminiscences to the past
history of this section. He is
now enjoying good health and
strength for one Of his advanced
age, and on his last birthday |
was unusually happy and jovlal'
The many who know "Uncle
Enoch" wish him the return Of
more happy birthdays,
but somehow those who gather
once a year at the home OF this
old patriarch, who has succeeded
in weathering the many storms
of life for more than eighty
years, to rejoice with him at an
other milepost Of life feel that
before one more is reached |
"Uncle Enoch" will have gone
over the river to his reward.

Or. BORDEN ANSWERS CRITICS
G. W. u. MEDICAL SCHOOL IN
HIGH STANDING.
Graduates Well Represented in
Army Corps-0nly 81 Institutions
Have Larger Enrolment.

DR.. W. c. Borden, in assuming his duties
as dean of the medical department of
George Washington University. made pub
lie his plans and outlined the policies
which will givern his administration
He made a spirited defense OF the
school. and declared that the harsh criti-
cism issuing from official quarters re-
Gently was based upon inadequate in
formation. OF the 40 regular medical
schools in the country, only thirty-seven,
DR.. Borden pointed out, have a larger
enrolment than George Washington.
Important changes. he indicated. will
be made in the curriculum, whereby the
advantages for the student will be greatly
increased. More instruction will be given
to each class, and in the third and fourth
years the clinical instruction will be
particularly improved.
BY the ordinance recently passed by the
board of directors of the university the
administration of the medical depart
ment has been radically changed. The
hospital has been directly connected with
the medical college, under the central
control of an executive commlttee.
BY these means the clinical facilities OF
the hospital will be entirely under the
control OF the faculty, and can be util-
lied in the instruction of students
In High Standing.
Under the old system this school and
hospital were under separate administra-
tive heads, and clinical teaching OF
students in the hospital could not be con-
troiled by the teaching members OF the
faculty" DR.. Borden stated. 1t Is much
to be regretted that so many erroneous
conceptions Of work done and the position
of the university medical college IN the
medical world have been exploited.
AS a matter OF fact. the medical school
has always had high standing. 1t Is
one Of the Oldest medical schools in the
United States. the first course OF lectures
having been given in 1925. and its eighty
,, ninth session will begin in September of
the present year.
1T is a member in good standing of the
Association OF Medical Colleges of the

Criticism Uniustihed.

VrlL1c1Sm O0JuSIlucu.
'In view Of these facts the criticisms
in the public press from hig hauthor1ty
seem entirely unjustified, and must have
been based on inadequate information
I'm the last published report, 1903, of
medical schools 1t appears that there
were then 100 regular medical colleges In
the United States. OF these but thirty
seven had a large number OF students
than the medical school of this univer-
sity, and among those having smaller
number there were such important
schools as Yale University. University of
Minnesota, Syracuse University. Univer-
sity Of California, the University OF vlr-
ginia and others Of high standing. Also
for ca period of eight years preceding
1909 there were but thirty-one of the 12O
colleges of the United States that had
had more students.
"The standing of the medical school is
such that its graduates are accepted by
the medical department of the United
States Army without examination in the
preliminary branches: in fact. 10 per
cent of the Medical Corps Of the United
States Army are graduates of this insti-
tuition.
Graduates in Army Medical Corps.
1.-The importantly and severity of the
examinations for entrance to the Medical
Corps of the army have never been ques-
toned, and yet there are but two medi-
cal schools In the entire United States
which have q higher percentage of sue
cessful candidates than has this school.
The honor man of this years class in the
Army Medical School was a graduate OF
this school.
These facts are sufficient to show the
good work that has been done and that
will continue to be done in the school.
The institution has a record of which 1t
has every reason to be proud, and 1t is
but justice to the school and community
which IL serves that these facts should
be known

THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.

He is the lord of the universe, but he doesn't work at it regularly because the janitor got there first.
 His wife takes his name, his credit ors take his money, his tailor takes his measure-but none of them take him seriously.
 He takes pride to himself in his in- domitable will, but it only needs an S9-cent alarm clock to wake him up in the morning.
 He stands at the altar with his bride and is pleased with his looks. And all the time her relations are wondering where she ever ran into him.
 Man that is born of woman is small potatoes and few to the hill, and usually about as necessary as a smokestack on a watering cart.
 He says unto his fellow man he is the boss of his house and what he wants goes there strong. Then he hur- ,ies home to button up the back of his wife'S waist
 He makes a three-column speech at the club, smokes a cigar at an angle of 90 degrees and drinks the kline of the country. Then he gets pain ih his stomach and he is all to the bad.
