 Rescue Work.
 The work of rescuing marooned people has been a great problem sor the authorities to handle. Boats are scarce and all are being put to their utmost use. It is no unusual scene to see a skiff or motor boat coming out of the woods loaded to it's capacity with rescued people and their belong ings. Rafts are very often put to

THE TROUBLE .AT Il. g. M. COLLEGE

The daily press for the last several days has been giving full
accounts of the rebellion among the students at the A. & M. Col
aege. The demands OF the students were without any warrant and
wholly unreasonable. 1t is not our purpose to discuss the situation
in this article, Or the grounds alleged by The students for the trou-
ole. The public has been fully appr;sed in the premises. We are
glad to be able to say that the press of the state is almost a unit in
sustaining the faculty and endorsing the action of the board of
trustees. which body gave President Hightower and the faculty its
unqualified endorsement.
We heard a great many people discuss the situation while on
train in going to and in returning from Starkvile. and with but one
single exception every man condemned the student body.
The following from a few of Grenada's leading business men on
the situation is but a fair representative of what every man. who
has taken the opportunity to inform himself, thinks of the action of
the students:
B. Perry. manager of the Grenada Oil Mlls-"The action of
the students is astonishing and President Hightower and the faculty.
could not have consistently done otherwise"
B. c. Duncan, merchant and planter-"If peach tree limbs and
hickory switches had been brought actively into service the rebell-
ious students would have gotten their dues"
II. }. Ray, cashier Grenada Trust & Banking Col heartily en-
dorse the action of Governor Brewer; he and President Hightower
are to be commended for the courageous stand taken in the matter"
John T. Keeton, merchant-"I think Governor Brewer and the
faculty did exactly the right thing"
Judge A. 7. Roane, one of the most clear-headed and farseeing
men lin the state, makes the following statement: IF the authori-
ties are going to let a bunch of upstart boys run the institution. A. &
M college had best be closed up. 1t is better to have 200 or
derby, well-behaved boys there than it is a thousand rule o ruin
ones" Judge Roane was himself a trustee for several years.
Another thinking man, J. T. Thomas, president of Grenada
Bank and one of the leading business men of the South, expresses
himself in the following manner in a letter under date of Nov. II to
one of the students of A. & M. College:
Am very glad to be advised that you have concluded TO do the
right and manly thing in remaining at your post of duty. Have read
carefully what the papers contain with reference to the trouble
at the College, and am surprised at the action of some of Oil vouno
men OF MISSISSIPPI. Granting that their claims are just or their
charges true there is absolutely no excuse, even then, for their ac-|
ZION. W wrongs never made a right, and reparation for a wrong,
tancied or real, should never be extorted by force or threats. Those
who have taken the initiative in this unfortunate affair will live toI
regret 1t, and tor this reason, as stated, am very glad that YOU have
come to a zane conclusion in determining to remain at the College"

GOOD

OF all the maAy good things done by Governor Brewer, he ha
done but one that is better than the appointment of Judge Reedto tn,
supreme bench, and that one thing is the appointment of Judoe 7
A. Teat to be Judge of this judicial district.
We have had good men who were learned lawyers and able
upright Judges; but all IN all, taken by large, we have had no such
judge as Judge Teat.
His first term here saved thousands of dollars TO the taxpavers
and set a standard of morality and of civic righteousness that is be.
yond price, NO one thing in a generation has had the wholesome
effect as the administration of this great Judge.
And he has done all this without any bare of trumpets o. ,ec
tacular plays. SIMPLY quietly, persistently from day to day he has
WoVeA forward with CELEBRITY but no undue haste, and has made all
respect his court AM. the law of the land. All honor to 1,doa A
Teat-Carrollton Conservative.

The foot ball match between the boys
of the high school and Cavalier, result.
ed as was anticipated in defeat by a
score of 80 to 2. The last minute of
the game saw one of Cavaliers giants
oepositing the ball back of his own
goal line to prevent a possible touch
down. The boys from the Pembina
county seat played sturdy game in
the first half. Their line was brick
wall. On the offensive they walked
through us, and with their "shift" and
"fake" they secured several unmerited
gains. In the second half they did little
or nothing. Our boys played strong
game. The provinces of Drury, Dono.
van, Robertson and McNiven caused the
surprise of the afternoon We expect
cd a defeat. Mr.. Stautf wanted the
game at home SO that our patrons might
have chance of seeing at least one
contest.

On Tuesday afternoon the city school
closed at ESQ in order to permit the
teachers to catch the train for the
Forks. At that place the annual state
convention of the North Dakota educa.
tional association is in session, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. The local
school board in its progressive policy
thought that the attendance of the
teachers at the state convention would
return more educational capital in pro.
portion with the outlay than the closing
of a three days session; that the boys
and girls would likewises receive a
greater return in dividends from the
instructor who was allowed to garner
inspiration from national leaders in
education, from our own state authori
ties and also from contact with a vast
number of their colleagues who "are do.
ing things" in other parts of the com,
monwealth.
The teachers without single excep.
ton left for the convention. Principal
M. I. Meyer will visit the special meet
ings of the sections in science and
mathematics, Miss Slingsby those in
history and English; Miss Newton those
in music; Miss Winn, those in in
dustrial arts and mathematics; Mr..
Stautf, those in elementary and admin
strative sections and the elementary
teachers will visit such departments as
are peculiarly fitted to the elucldation
Ct subjects pertinent to their work. All
of the teachers are urged to be present
at the general sessions, when the six
leading papers are to be given. These
alone are worth the trip to the educator

results. The debate, "Resolved, That
the election of Governor Woodrow Will

not be detrimental to this nation" was
decided by the tive judges, three to two
in favor of the negative. The absence
of one of the affirmative perturbed the

Death of William Mcdonald

Death has removed during the week
another old pioneer of Cavalier county in
the answer to the call from above by
William Mcdonald, one of the old land
marks of Harvey Center, who passed
away last Thursday morning at 40 early
hour. Deceased had passed the allotted
span of life and for some little time pre-
ceding his death had been in very poor
health and quite feeble, although it was
only something like week before that
he had greeted his friends in Langdon
and visited at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Angus Mcpherson. The many es-
timable qualities of heart and mind that
the old gentleman possessed need no
mention in these columns as no one had
more friends or wider circle of acquain-
tances in this part of the county. His
widow and only daughter, Mrs. McPher-
son compose the immediate family who
have rendered them the sympathy of
friends far and near in their sad bereave-
ment. The funeral Saturday afternoon
from the home was largely attended the
service being conducted by Rev. f. j..
HibbarJ, of whose church the deceased
had for some years past been mem Der.
The remains have last resting place in
the Harvey Center cemetery.

Home Endorsement for Price

We. the undersigned. citizens of LANG
don and Cavalier county, join in recon-
mendlng to the voters of Cavalier county
the election OF Mr. George NJ. Price to
the office of Judge of the Seventh Judi
clal District at the coming election. We
believe that Mr. Price is qualified in
character and ability to be judge of the
Seventh Judicial District. He has prac-
tlced law in Langdon for a number Of
years and is we'll known to the people of
the county. He is candidate not be.
cause of his personal desire to hold the
office, but because large number of the
people of the district have urged him to
become candidate. This county has
no other candidate for state office this
year and the Seventh Judicial District
has never had judge elected from this
county. We believe that the people of
Cayaller county should endorse Mr.
Prices candidacy for this Office and
should give him their undivided support
