He is a live and progressive farmer

broke an acre on which he intended

pIOWed to the depth Of inches. He
put the cotton in rows 3 IL feet

The DeatOns
4 Family That Does Good Farming
and Raises Corn That Takes Prizes.
(Southern Pines Tourist.

(Southern Pines Tourist.)
The Deatons, father and sons are
a family of farmers that need not to
apologize for the results of their Ia
bors. Long before the demonstra-
ton work in this county took def
mite shape they We're doing progress
sive farming. They read agricul-
tural papers and keep in touch with
the latest methods in farming and
with the latest events that are trans
piring in the State and country.
Mr.. Noah Deaton, the father, is
man around so years Of age and
has worked hard all his days. He
has kept his mind from going to
seed. and this has brought him to
his advanced age with a young heart
and an active and Well-stored mind.
When the writer was first introduced
to him at a Farmers Union meeting,
at which his corn had been used as
an illustration, he named seven or
eight papers he was already taking
and reading AS the list grew the
Tourist man thought the farmer sure
ly would not care to add another pa
per to the bunch, especially as that
paper made no pretenSiOnS to be an
agricultural paper, or even a general
county paper, at that time. How
ever, Mr.. Deaton peeled off a dollar
bill from a good-siZed roll and re-
marked: Your paper is good,
bright paper and I'll take it. He
has taken it ever since and says a
good word for it whenever he gets
a chance.
Mr.. Deaton had been building up
his strain Of corn for nearly dozen
years His sons have given the mat
ter much attention and toCay they
have a variety of corn that mods
saucily in the summers sun at the
best that grows
The other day one of the sons, Mr..
John Deaton was seen by the writer
in Southern Pines with an ear Of corn
sticking out of each pocket and a box
which, on closer inspection, proved
to be marked for Atlanta, Ga. A
little questioning elected some inter-
esting facts This DeatOn corn took
the first prize at the Moore County
Fair and the third prize at the State
Fair at Raleigh, and the proud young
farmer was shipping a box Of 1t to the
Southern Corn Show at Atlanta. 10

were hot after the prizes, Mr.. John
remarked that they were going after
'em hotter still next year. Ihat S

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

The academic procession from La

ceeding the lecture, was a special
feature of the Washington's Birth
day exercise. The address was given
by the Rev. Howard MacAyeal, pas
tor Of the First Congregational
Church in Akron, Ohio. His easy, in
formal style made his address. which
was one well worth hearing, very
pleasant to listen to. ct is the
ambition of every one of you," he
said, ito make Christian patriots and
George Washington was an ideal
Christian patriot" He then dwelt up
on the striking qualities in Washing
toms life. his sanity. fortitude and
repose; and with these qualities he
was above all a man of action. His
concluding thought was that there
was nothing greater in Washington's
life than the man himself.

we're slave-holders, but who hated
slavery, and they founded Berea In
the hope that by teaching the noun
taineers, they would raise up popula-
ton that would turn the scale In Ken
lucky towards the gradual emanci-
patton OF the slaves. They saw
that In the mountains there was then.
Az there is now, large popula-
ton OF white people who lived on
their own land-poor for the most
part, but their own, who held no
slaves; and these far-seeing men
felt that II they could carry their
ideals into the hearts and minds Of
these men one day Kentucky would
be a free state.
Now. during the war. education was
maintained at Berea College. though

At the end of the war this happen

the door OF Berea. and asked that
they might be taught to become
teachers of their people. Well. Be

and Berea acted as the hen acted OF
whom you may have heard. Some
body found a little chicken running
around without a mother. and they
took this chicken TO a hen that had
Mt any. and said: Wont you take

they took II TO a hen that had two
chickens. and they said. Wont you
look after this chicken" NO" she
said, 81 have two chickens already,
and II Is all | can do to look after
them" So they went to a hen that
had q dozen. and they said. Wont
you take care Of this chicken" And
she said Certainly. what is another
chicken? Let II come right in.
Now. at that time Berea had moth
ing but debts. suspect. and pupils;
and yet most generously and patriot
ically and bravely they took these two
negroes and began to teach them.
Following the steps OF these two
came many. and from that time until

rea did what have always thought
was wise and patriotic. and not only
just but generous: they found that
they must abandon the teaching of
negroes with the whites. They felt
that their function directly was with
the whites. as they had begun, and
so they took 100000 out Of their
small assets for the purpose OF estab-
fishing negro school elsewhere.
They added To that 100000 another
s2O0, 900 which they raised especially
for the purpose. and the buildings
are now going up for a school for
colored youths and girls as the re-
suit OF that law OF Kentucky which

I think you will admit that that
was very interesting history; how
It began before the war. how II
passed through this phase born of
the Civil War. and how now II has

trying to educate the white children,
young men and maidens Of the noun
