EDITORS VISIT TO GREENSBORO.

1t was the. EDITORS good for
tune to visit Greensboro for three
days last week, and they were
pleasant days because of many
things. chief of which was the
way Greensboro does things for
the entertainment Of visitors.

the Juniors were entertained by
the Greensboro and Guilford
county lodges. elected favorable
comment from every source.
The public meeting held in the
Opera House was well attended
BY Greensboro people and the
addresses of welcome and re-
sponses were of q high order.
The visit to the White Oak
Cotton mills was . privilege many
If the delegates did not antici-

Mr.. Caesar Cone of a pattern for
. pair of overalls to every visitor
was . source of much merriment
and the fact that such a mar
recognized the members Of this
State in this manner made every
enc feel good. The visit to this,
Tie largest mill of its kind in the
world, revealed the immensely Of

few people realize when paying

Jewish Colonies In Holy Land,

From time to time various colonies of Jews have actually returned to the Holy Land. There are records of Jewish settlements there as early as 1170, and in the sixteenth century the city of Tiberias, where only Jews were to dwell," was rebuilt.
 But it was not until comparatively modern times that the founding of regular colonies began. In 1878 the ideas of Laurence Oliphant and the earl of Shaftesbury took definite shape in the purchase of TOO acres of land by the Jews of Jerusalem and the foundation of the colony of Petah Tikwah. After the Russian perescu- ton of 1881 large numbers of Jews emigrated and at the end of 1898 there were about 5000 Jewish col ouists in Palestine.

The Land is Going Fast.

We wonder how many of our boys realize that land Is going fast. Boys brought up to think that in America land can never be scarce, that when they have played out at everything else they can somewhere get a piece of land for nothing and the next day be a prosperous farmer, can with difficulty be made to see 1t. In 1865 there were but little over S1 100000 acres under cultiva- tion iu the United States. Today the cultivated acres number 236, lOOO,O00 and these acres are not only our best, but they are fast going up in value beyond the reach of men of small means. Keen scented corporations snuff ing the inevitable battle from afar are turning their attention to land, and greedily buying whole counties with no idea of ever letting an acre go, but the boy who thinks he is made for something higher looks calmly on thinking there will be plenty eft for him should he ever have to stoop to it. The sons of half starved teachers, lawyers, tra- ders and others who are unsuc- cessful in the1r Over-crOwded call. ings are turning to our cheaper lands, sure to find there what they nor their parents have known ever before-truly inde- pendent homes.-Rio Grande Republican.

 @ talk much about them, think some about them, and peradventure wonder not a little more about them than If they were i'll China. How many heads of families, par ents, business men, men of minds, ever cross the thres- hold of a school room? How many ever offer a word of en- couragement to teachers or scholar and let them know by your presence at least occas- ionally, ill the school room that you are an interested party, really desirous that they should prosper, and that you have their best welfare at heart? How many have per sonally recognized the head of the school, who has the training of the mind and the building of and establishing the character of your boy or girl? How many have kindly counseled and advised the teachers, showing you are with them in the great work, wishing them well, and cheer ing with God speed.' How few methinks, can answer in the affirmative, and vet you often hear of the school and feel that 1t IS not what 1t should be, and what you wish 1t was.
