TO RECEIVE THEIR DEGREES.
Upon Old Studedts Who Went to
Ih. War.


At least fifty Of those students of
the University who Withdrew during
the period from 1861 to 1868 to
enter the naval or military service IN
the Civil war are now expected to be
present at the 1911 commencement
to receive in person the degree Of
A. B. which the Board of Trustees at
the January meeting, following the
recommendation OF the faculty, re-
solved to confer upon them. To
Judge from the letters they write,
they are coming hack to the Alma
Mater, most of them for the first
time since their class days, in much
the same hilarious spirit that an
anxious senior passes his final exam
inaIion and feels hi- diploma safe
One enthusiastic old fellow has sug-
gested that they all bring along
their rebel uniforms and re-enlist,
under the cOmmand of General Ju-
Iiau s. Carr, who is one of them. The
great majority of them have written
appreciatively of the graceful act uf
the University.
Besides those who are expected to
attend i'll person, almost as many
more, who from business, old age
AMI poor health, or distance away,
will not attend the commencement,
have written letters expressing the
livelipst interest aud declaring that
they will he present in spirit. Here

ACureFor LazineSs.

The Dutch are a hard working peo-
pie, and have little use for the man
who is able to work and will not.
The cure for laziness, when the lazy
one happens to be an able bodied
pauper who is disinclined to labor is
no less effective than amusing.
When it has been determined that
the pauper is, in fact, able to work,
he is placed in a eistern into which
flows water from q pipe. A pump ls
provided which is capable OF remov-
ing exactly the same amount OF wa
ter as enters by means OF the pipe,
The lazy person, for whom punish
ment is intended, has to pump pref
ty lively to get as much water out
as flows in or else@he will be drown
ed. 1t is said that this cure never
has to be resorted to but once.

Words of Big Captain.

One of the biggest, brOadest and
most successful Captains of Industry
in North Carolina is Mr.. ID. Y. Coop
er, of Henderson. president OF the
American Cotton Manufacturers As
sociatiOn which held it's important
session last week in Richmond. Mr..
Cooper was given this high honor
because he is recognized as one of
the most resourceful and capable
cotton mill men. 1t was an honor
well deserved and an honor wOrthily
worn. His address to the AssOcia-
ton shows that he has given the sub
ject of cotton from the planting of
the seed until its Use as fabric
much study and that he is interested
in every fact about the staple. He
wishes to see the Southern farmer
and the Southern manufacturer
prosper and his chief desire has been
to bring them together in helpful
cO-ODeratiOn.

Will Cause Much Talk.
Charlotte Chronicle. J

Judge Clark's platform is some
thing that is going to be talked
about, for sure. He advocates a
tariff for revenue only, constitutions
al amendments that will elect United
States Senators by the people; Fed
eral Judges by the people of the dis
trict in which they are to serve; the
election of postmasters by the peo-
pie OF the territory to be served. He
declares for the initiative and refer
endum and the recall, also for pri-
mary on the same day all over the
State by the Democratic party to
nominate State officers and United
states Senator's, with restrictions to
ds sure publicity as to money expend-
cd. All of which he says, is simply a
return to pure ,Ieffersonidn Democra-
~, And, by the way, Jefferson seems
~ ~ nave had a good many sorts OF
democracy, for it is the fashion for
every Democrat to claim that he is
strictly Jeffersonian-and it will not
pe disputed that there are several
varieties of Democrats.

NOW READY FOR BUSINESS.
Decision of Supreme Court In Stand
ard Oil Case Clarifies Situation.
Washington Post.)

The Supreme Courts decision in
the Standard Oil case clears the way
Tor the resumption OF work by every
man in the United States.
The trust cases had been a menace
for years. The doubt hanging over
every business, good or bad, was
such that no one knew what to do.
Everybody knew that the Standard
Oil Company would have to run the
gauntlet of the highest court, but
until the court had passed upon the
antitrust law in this typical case no
one dared to make Investments or
extend his business. Everybody
marked time.
Now men know where they stand
They know the limits beyond which
they cannot pass. and they know
that so long as they stay within the
boundaries they are safe
The capitalist is now free to lay
out his money in big enterprises that
will give the labOrer employment.
The tools that have been in the
barn can be taken out and put to
work. The lIalftime factories can
go aheA'l and operate at full blast
Railroad construction can proceed
Steamship lines can be put on.
Building operations can be resumed, :,
giving work for thousands of arti-
sans. Merchants can increase their
stocks and prepare for Il big trade.
Farmers need not be afraid that
their huge crops will not be CON
sumed. The thousands of unem-
plOyed in New York and other cities
can be set to work The workers
can come into their own. The day
OF the luggards is past.
1t is high time that the American
people, the most enterprising and ef-
f-ctive producers and traders in the
world, should quit enting one an
other. Let them go out and tackle
the enemy! There are enormous
fields OF commerce waiting for them
--new lands commercially unex-
pIored regiJRs, South America, the
Orieut, Persia, Turkey, Africa-all
offer splendid inducements to Ampri-
can money and enterprise. The
trade with Europe can be immensely
increased. Meanwhile, there is the
home country and its posses
SlOn5, the best market in the world,
fnli OF opportunities for expansion
and development.
Unless we mistake the temper of
the average man-the fellow who is
anxious to attend TO his own busi-
ness and get ahead in the world
there is no demand for agitation
and new legislation on the trust
question. No one wants any more
uncertainty. Every one wants an
opportunity to take off his coat and
roll up his sleeves The people have
just seen the biggest corporation III
the world brought to time by the
courts. The conrts may be depend
ed upon to hew to the line between
legitimate and ilIegitimate business.
The good will live and be protected;
the bad will be overhauled and forced
to mend their ways. There is no ne
cessity for more laws. The public
rights are safe with the courts.
So, with clear skies, a fruitful soil,
aud wise laws, let the most ambi-
tious and energetic people in the
world get busy, individually and col
lectively, aud make the greatest and
most prosperous nation that the
sun ever shOne upon.

The Cost Of Automobiling.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.) }


We now have some basis for figur-
ing out the annual national automO-
bile bill. The statistics gathered by
the State of New York show that
more than 100000 automobiles
were registered in the State and Ter
ritorial capitals on May lst. There
are some machines which are not
registered, raising the total certain
ly over 800, 900. The United States
census shows that the average cost
of the l2T ,2S9 cars manufactured in
1909 was n fraction over 81 800.
This applied to the figures just stat
ed, shows that we have the enOr-
nous sum of s. 600, 100000 invest
ed
These figures, it must be under
stood, only cover the cost of the bare
machine. Wind shields, horns, extra
tires, patent lamps and other things
are classified as extras. Behind it
all is upkeep, II short word covering
n multitude Of costs. Interesting
figures were given out in New York
the other day which places the value
Of the automobiles manufactured at
$500, 100000, and the extras and
costs of operation and repairs at
another 100000. The investment,
including extras, probably is not far
from $4,000, 100000, and we are
putting in at least $500, ,000,O0O
operation charges annually.
The London Times and the Phila-
delphia Record have lately been talk
ing about the cost of operating au-
tomobiles. The times thinks that
the cost of operating a high-class car
in England-including the capital
invested-figures out about II cents
the mile. The Record puts it at I
cents the mile in this country. Both
accept the general basis that "a day
after the machine is put in service it
becomes n secondhand machine, and
that its life is about three years"

Many-tforned Cow.

A farmer living near Greenville, S.
c., owns a COW that is a real freak of
nature. The COW has seventeen
horns which protrude from her back
along her spine. 4 correspondent of
the Washington Post, who recently
visited Greenville and saw the cow,
says: Each joint of the spinal col
umn seems to be the base sor horn.
The cow is normal in every other
way. She gives just a little more
milk than any other COW in the pas
ture. The owner has been offered a
large amount of money for the COW
by museum owners, but he refuses to
sell. | might add that the farmer
has named the COW Cornucopia, and
he thinks the name is appropri-
ate

RATS AND MATCHES

Nearly every day the mail brings
to the Insurance Department a re-
port of some fire with the cause given
as Rats and Matches" OF course
many of these fires are really started
by rats and matches, but Others are
not, and the trouble is merely laid
on this too frequent cause. In some
cases the cause is due to carelessness
and in Others to criminality.
The whole thing can be Femedied
in a very simple manner-"Use Only
Safety Matches" This will put a
stop to fires really caused by rats
and matches, as we'll as those caused
by the careless use OF matches, and
in other ways, and laid to the charge
OF "Rats and Matches" Some who
are inclined to burn their property
will be deferred by a knowledge that
it canl.ot he laid to "Rats and
Matches. "
4 safety match is one that will not
strike except on a prepared surface,
and is therefore harmless in causing
fires. They cost no more than fric-
tion or parlor matches, and their
use will do away with at least one
fourth of our fires. Why not use
only safety matches?
CLEANUP DAY.
1t is very gratifying to see so many
cities and towns having "Clean-Up
Day" 1t is certainly to the interest
of improved health as we'll AS i'm
proved appearance in our cities and
homes AS usual the women all re-
alize this, and are leading the move
ment in many places to have their
cities improved in appearance and
health. Through organization OF
their clubs they are enabled. to oper-
ate as power for good in this and
other matters.
CLEAN-OUT DAY.
Now let us have in every city and
town in North Carolina "CleanOut
Day'-a day in which we will not
clean up our streets and lots, but
will clean out our cellars and garrets,
and all parts of our houses and
premises where combustible matter
has accumulated This will mean
great check to our fire waste. At
least two thirds OF our fires are pre-
ventive. 1t is right and necessary
for US to spend thousands OF dollars
to support fire departments with
which to put out fires after they
once start, but money spent in pre-
venting fires will go further and ac-
complish more.
Will not our wOmen's clubs and
municipal officers help along this
line?

known The organization Of the
Gr-atpr Henderson Committee WAS
done with this purpose i'll view. The
plan Of campaign will be on sane and
prarticaI lines and the president,
Mr.. J. T. Taylor, was selected be-
cause of his practical experience and
common sense. The person who fails
To- contribute in money or activity,
according to his ability, is doing
iust that much against the interests
of our town and toward the interest
nt some other community. SO the
first point to consider in municipal
advertising is the cooperation of
our own people. | feel that a sub
stHntial foundation has been laid in
this direction.
OR RESOURCES NOT APPRE-
CIATED.
1t is Iamentably true that the av-
erage person knows very little about
his own town or city and its re-
sources. While it is true that we
should know of our advantages as
well, in order to correct them, these
disadvantages should not be pub
lishpd, but should be used by our
selves and among ourselves to make
Us realize the necessity for improve
ment. Our city should be made
clean, physically, SOC tally and politi-
caly, and if all the people will work
together and each person do his
share we shall soon have u city
which shall advertise itself.
One Of the most common cOntribu-
tiuns to leSsening our prestige and
Importance is to "kn0ck," and my
observation has been that those
who "knock" are seldom found
among those who are working for
the good of the community.
IL is easy to criticise, but difficult
10 accomplish. Mr.. J. =. Taylor's
prominence in the business and tinan-
cial world would illustrate what |
mean by our people taking IL leading
part and which hel p to advertise
Henderson as II wide-awake and pro
grrssivp city. Think of the publicity
possible bv having one or two con
Vrntious here and thus obtaining
prominent space in all the newspa-
per5 without cost, then send out
broadcast this: See Henderson First.
This is municipal advertising of the
highest order and will give us pub
licIty throughout thecountry and at
comparatively small cost. Again,
every business man should have his
billboards displayed ut every cross
road with See Henderson First on
the top, c. +. TANkERSLEI.
