LEARNING MEN TO COOK.

More men die a Of bad COOK
ING than are killed in war, and there
fore, the man who does most to i'm
prove cooking is a public ~benefactor.
In this list of b~enefactors should De
embraced and put near to the top
Colonel w. L. MCGEE, Commtssary
General of the North Carolina Ma
tional Guard. Since he has held TINS
position he has introduced the same
business methods that he emplOys IN
his private business at Frankllnton.
Perhaps the best thing he has done
has been to organize a k school
in connection with the department.
It's object is to train cooks and mess
sergeants along the same lines as those
of the regular army. In future, the
cooks will be required to be regular
enlisted white men, and to hold a Ger
tifcate Of examination and inspection
showing that they are qualified for
their positions. Heretofore, it has
been difficult to nduce white men to
enlist as cooks and the State Guard
has found it necessary to employ
cooks. If Colonel MCGEE can get men
to enlist and to learn the business of
cooking he Will not only promote the
health of the State Guard, but he will
train men to a calling where skill n
knowledge is greatly needed. The
best cook in New York gets more than
the best preacher or the best aWyer.
Cooking is an Aria science, and
men with money are wiling to pay
good prices to get cooks who under
stand the chemistry and other things
needed to furnish the most palpable
and nourishing food. Hotels. r%estaur-
ants and men with families would be
glad to employ men as cooks who
have become skilled. Colonel MCGEE
is doing a great service and we have
no doubt his efforts will prove of
of great value not only to the State
Guard, but to the whole State.

PELIAGRA AND CORN.

In q recent communication to the
Charlotte Observer, DR.. r. w. S. Pc
gram, Of D~elaplane, say that ~pellagra
does not come from corn, but from
poisoning contained in the disinfect-
ants used by grain dealers. Com
menting on DR.. Pegram's theory, the
Greensboro Record says:
But what business has one in this
country eating imported meal or
corn? We ought to raise more than
We need and not have to buy away
drNn home. Physicians have held
that it came from corn and it may be
that DR.. PeSram has about sized it
up, for it has been demonstrated that
people who eat the good old corn rails
ed on the farms down this way do not
have it."
The farmers are raising more corn
this year than they have raised here
to1ore and the best of it is they are
raising much more on an acre thar in
previous years. Intensive farming is

EDUCATION THE ONLY HOPE.

The North Carolina Farmers Union.
which has been in session in Raleigh
this Year, gave chief consideration ia
two matters: First, the necessity and
wisdom of farmers making their own
supplies, and therefore being indie
pendent; and second, to the education
of the people. Elsewhere in todays
paper is printed the report of the COM
mittee on education, which should he
read by everybody and given due con-
s~ideration. The committee says that
North Carolina has not done its duty
in the line of general education. and
this is true. For man years after
the war the State was too poor. In
recent years there has been a great
revival and much has been done. but
what has been done is but preliminary
to what must be done, il the State
gives to the children of the farmers
the advantages to which they are en-
titled. The Union makes specific
recommendations, particularly with
reference to instruction in agriculture.
1t is a report that is pregnant with
hope and greater power, and i'm the
carrying out of these progressive plans
for the practical education of the
farmers children, the farmers VIII ind
they have the earnest cooperation or
the thoughtful and patriotic men ef
the towns and cities. Education must
be the very rnudsilI of our progress
We cannot rise without training the
children, and this training must he

they are Fastening the day in \"rth

Davidson county alone in less than six
months two murderers pardoned by
the Governor have again committed
murder. Can the Governor be guilt
less of hat blood? What harvest Of
laWlessness is to be reaped from the
other 954 criminals pardoned?' asks
the Tennesseean, which adds the APP
palling statement: The Governors
closest political adviser being licensed
to kill, is it strange that other des-
perate men are encouraged to commit
crime?' Referring to the monument
erected to himself by Tennessee's
Governor in his ~pardoning record, the
Athens Post says it is a monument
without which he might, happily, be
soon forgotten, reared by word and
deed, craven by his own hand-but il
is a monument of shame and undying
infamy.' The Tennesseeap, discuss
ing the cause of the many pardCns
says: The reason for Tennessee's
astoundingly rotten showing is that
close friends Of Governor Patterson
are pocketing big fees on the pariCns
he grants 50 easily"
The TennesSeean compares the
number Of pardons granted BY some
other States. In New York 127 crin1i-
nails have been pardoned in ten years,
and in addition to these men 2SV COM
mutations. In the last ten years
Michigan's Governor had granted ia
pardons. The average number by the
Maine Pardon Board is three OF four
a year. Thirty-nine pardons have
years. In the past ten years the
Florida Board of Pardons has granted
700 pardons and cO~mmuta-ions. In
Alabama 555 pardons n paroles
were granted from September 30th,
1905, to December 31st, 1909. In
Colorado during the past ten years
Gil pardons have been granted. In
the past ten years in Nebraska 1872
pardons and combinations were
granted. In California in the past
ten years IS pardons and 40 COM
mutations We're granted.
Contrast these facts with the awful
fact that the Governor of Tennessee
has pardoned $50 criminals IT three
years, including 152 men convicted OF
murder. Bad as is the large number.
it is not the big number of criminals
turned loose that is most to be con-
demned. The Tennesseean says:
Other Governors of Tennessee have
made use Of the pardoning power.
some of them rather literally. But
no other governor of Tennessee has
dealt in human misery TO intrench
himself properly and to line the
pockets of his pals with money wrung

partner if he had taken prompt and
vigorous action when he knew Oh
Cooper's rage. AS a friend of cooper
and as the chief magistrate Of the
State he should have exerted himself
to prevent trouble. Granting that he
did not think murder would follow, he
nevertheless failed in the duty OF pre-
venting a meeting which he must have
known might have fatal results. But,
even if he could have done nothing to
avert the murder Of his political OPP

the conduct Of the Governor in the

Seven OF the is trustees elected by

In inland Australia the atmos-

bent on mischief, entered his house

unable to follow the trail left by the
marauder.

Ladies left alone should arm them

Of buckshot. A similar case to the
above happened at Cope a few days
