Little Reduction In Texas Cotton Cr0r.

A good deal of interest has been
expressed here as to the status of
cotton in Texas. Secretary Fred A.
Olds has letter from his son, Mr..
Fred c.. Olds, of Abilene, Texas, in
forming him that there will be no
reduction in the acreage of cotton
in Texas. and that the crop pros
poets are perfect, not only in the
Abilene section, but all over Texas.
Secretary Olds is informed by Mr..
W. A. Simpkins that he has shipped
during the present week six car
loads of seed into Louisiana for
planting. The seed are simply
thrown in the mud left by the re-
ceding water of the recent flood, and
they sprout with wonderful rapidity.
They are first soaked in a prepara-
ton so as to make them sprout more
quickly. Secretary Olds is informed
that the reduction of acreage in this
State will hardly exceed sixteen per
cent. In some counties it runs as
high as thirty per cent, but in others
there is no reduction. 1t is declared
that there is but little reduction in

Madniffcent Endowment for Trinity.

The endowment fund of Trinity
College is to be increased by the
MAGNIFICENT sum of one million dol
lars. The increase is made possible
by a splendid gift from the Dukes
of s65O,OOO, and another gift from
the General Education Board OF
$50. 900 on condition that the
alumni and friends of the college
will raise $2OO,OOO. Already $4,000
Of this latter amount has been raised
end there remains only $500 OF
it to be raised by December 3lst.
OF course the alumni and friends OF
Trinity have no notion Of allowing
this opportunity to slip by them and
the necessary amount will certainly
be raised within the specified time
Trinity already has an endowment
of $3.50, 900, and this together with
the additional million will make II

The First Negro Senator.

The first negro who ever sat in the
United States Senate as duly quail
flied member took his seat forty-two
years ago. He was Hiram R. Rev
els, elected by the reconstruction
legislature of Mississippi, and he
served from February, 1870, to
March of the next year.
Revels was born in North Carolina
of free parents, in 1922, and, desir-
ing an education, he went to 1ndi-
ana. where he attended the Quaker
College at Liberty. Later he studied
at Knox College, in Illinois, and in
1847 he became a preacher in the
African Methodist Episcopal church
He went about the country speaking
about slavery, and at the breaking
ont of the war he organized negro
REGIMENTS in Missouri and Mary.

The COUNTRY BOY.
Ills Lot a Fortunate One That OUGHT to
Make Him C0ntented and Happy.

The most fortunate boy in the
State is he who has not caught the
fever that is ia the air, but is fol
lowing his patient mule up and down
the long corn rows and grumbing
because he cannot have the fun the
town boys enjoy. All honor to the
father who, seeing what is invisible
to putty headed parents, holds his
boy down to hard work and gives
him Saturday afternoon for recrea-
ton. "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy is a saying that has
been considerably overdone. All play
and no work makes Jack spend
thrift and a dead beat. And that is
what is the matter with the present
generation. The boys are sporting
on what their fathers earn. They
wear the best clothes their fathers
can buy, ride in automobiles bought
on credit, and play tennis for liv-
ing. The chap who is making a crop
under the blazing June sun is the one
who in latter years will furnish EN-
ployment to the dapper fellows who
are now smoking cigarettes and
changing their linen every day. It
is impossible to make man out Of
boy who never did an honest days
work in his life. 1t requires hard
knocks to develop the manly qualities
IN boys nature. 1t takes nerve TO-
stand against the temptations that
beset boys pathway in these &C.
generate days. He must practice
self denial in his youth if he would
resist evil in his manhood's prime.
Few sons of rich men are ever able
to wear the mantle of their fathers.
The reason is the rich man learned
to say mo" to his desires in his
youth, and his son failed to learn
that vital lesson. The farmers boy
has the best chance in the world to
build the ladder by which he must
rise. He cannot see the point
now, but he will see it by and by.
Our captains of industry must come
from the country if they come at all.
A dude never yet developed into a
man. The shy and awkward coun-
try boy who is better acquainted
with grubbing hoe than he is with
a base ball bat is the fellow who in
future years will direct from his desk
in his office the polished young gents
who now laugh at his awkward man

An Honest Congressman.

The Greensboro News remarks up
on the fact that Congressman R. N.
Page Of North Carolina voted against
the bill to increase the pay of the
secretaries Of congressman from ST.
500 to $4,000. Mr.. Page also voted
to reduce the mileage allowed Con-
gressmen and against the pension
steal, as we remember. This is 8
fine record. Mr.. Page is voting like
an honest man and statesman and
is not playing politics. 1t is well
known fact that not only do the
members of Congress get big hunk
of graft out of their 20 cents mile
allowance for travelling expenses,
but that their secretaries seldom re-
ceive the full amount allowed for
their hire. The usual procedure is
for Congressman to pay his secre-
tary $500 to 81, 900 year and pocket
the balance of the allowance. This
being the case the effort to increase
the allowance of the secretaries is
simply case of more graft for Con-
gress ren.
Tee Chronicle cannot understand
for the life Of it, low our Congress
men can reconcile these things and
retain any degree of self respect.
And yet the Congressman who get
the most graft are generally those
who make the most noise about
crooked business" and are quick
est to want an investigation Of every
thing that offers any excuse for in
vestigation in the various depart
ments of the government.

AN AGRICULTURAL TRAIN.
To be Operated Over the Coast Line
During the Sumner.

|
College, West Raleigh, N. c., tn,
United States Department of Agri
culture and the Atlantic Coast Lin.
announce that they will operate al
Agricultural Train over the Coas
Line in North Carolina this summer
the itinerary Of which will be pub
lished later.
This train will consist of six cars
and will carry types of dairy anc
beef cattle; Percheron horses; Berk
shire, Duroc and Jersey hogs; i'm
proved farm machinery of various
kinds, and a we'll assorted lot OF
drain tile, and modern tools fol-
ditching and to use in laying tile
A corps of experts will give lectures
at each stop. on breeds, selection,
feeding and management of live
stock; and when practicable to do so,
practical demonstrations will be
given in the use of improved farm
implements and laying of tile.
The three features selected for
this train, viz, live stock, drainage
and better methods of cultivation,
are live subjects, and show that the
public-spirited people who will ope-
rate this train are alive to the inter-
est.of our farmers, and should be
congratulated on their selections, as
these three subjects are vital to the
interest of Eastern North Carolina.
We need more live stock, and bet
ter live stock, not only for the pur-
pose of raising our home supply of
meat, but for the purpose of reduc-
ing our commercial fertilizer bills,
by having more barnyard manure,
which is absolutely necessary if we
are to get maximum crop yields.
We need better drainage so as to be
able to make maximum crops in
wet seasons, as we'll as dry, and to
make our section sanitary. It has
been demonstrated that by adopting
improved methods of agriculture,
our yields can be doubled, and, in
some instances, trebled; and by the
use of modern farm machinery, one
man can perform as much, or more
work, than two, and do it better.
In operating this train the Agri-
cultural & Mechanical College, The
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the public-Spirited At
lantic Coast Line are endeavoring,
as far as possible, to bring a few
features of the Agricultural & Me-
chanlcal College to the farmer
door. Shall we take advantage OF
this great opportunity to gain know
ledge or neglect it? Our farmers
are too wide awake and progressive
to neglect such good opportunity
which will cost them nothing, and
we are sure that large crowds will
be in evidence at each stop.
Agricultural trains have been op-
Grated in other states, and have been
a big success, and, as this is the first
one to be operated in the great Old
North State, let US show our appre-
citation by giving them a rousing
crowd at each stop.
The advertising matter giving
full description of this train and
complete itinerary is now in the
hands of the printer, and will be
thoroughly distributed in ample
time for every one to be fully post
ed as to the date and hour that this
interesting miniature College-on-
wheels will visit each section.

Present Gavel to Kentucky
Society.

An incident occurred at the eighth
annual banquet of the Kentucky So
ciety of New York City, held at the
Hotel Plaza recently, that should inter.
est every Kentuckian. On that even.
ing, MIR. Frederick A. Wallis, a for.
mer secretary of the Kentuckians.
presented to the society gavel made
out of a piece of wood from a tree
planted by Henry Clay himself at his
historic home, "A shland," at Lexing.
ton, and fashioned into a gaveI by the
Kentucky boys at the State University.
The idea of the gavel originated with
Mrs. Wallis, who, seeing the necessitv
of such an implement at the meetings
and public functions of the society.
decided to procure piece of wood from
one of the trees at "Ashland." Last
summer while in Kentucky, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallis called at the home of the
late L. II. Clay, at Lexington, and
referred to the proposed gavel, when
his daughter, great-grand-daughter
of Henry Clay, offered them a piece of
wood from a Tree planted by Mr.. CLAY,
which had been destroyed by a severe
sleet storm that passed over Kentucky
several years ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wallis were highly elated over their
success in procuring the wood and took
it TO the State University, where the
suggestion of the gavel was made to
Judge Barker, the president, and Prof.
Paul Anderson, head of the mechanical
and engineering departments. They
were enthusiastic over the idea and
esteemed it an honor to permit the stu
dents to fashion the wood into a gavel.
provided they were granted the privi-
lege of saving small piece of the wood
to be placed in the Uniyersity's cabi-
net of Kentucky relics. The gavel is
handsome piece of work, being of
hard, dry ash. On the knob is mounted
a State seal of Kentucky in silver.
UNITED We Stand, Divided We Fall. y
Mr.. Wallis presented the gavel to the
Kentucky Society, with the distinct
understanding that should the associa-
tion ever become disorganized or dis
banded, the gavel is to be given to the
the Kentucky Historical Society at
Frankfort.
Mrs. Wallis was formerly Miss
Mainline Clay. daughter of Mr.. and,Mrs.
Thos. Henry Clay, Sr.. of Paris. Mr..
and Mrs. Wallis own handsome coun-
try place near this city and are frequent
visitors in Paris.

Breaking Away from Tradition.

The grectest Importance of the Demo
cratic program providing for the
abolition of the sugar tariff and the
imposition of tax on incomes in ex-
cess of SIS, 600 is that it breaks away
from the tradition that the govern
ment's income must of necessity be
derived wholly from the things the
people eat, wear or use, a tradition
which has been responsible for veal IN
not bearing its just proportion of the
burden Of federal taxation. and a ira
ditiOn which has been responsible for
so many tariff Outrages through so
many years. Regardless of whether
the bill is vetoed by President Taft,
there little question that the Demo-
Gratis have opened the way for its en-
actment when another man is in the
White House.
