The Case of Colonel Osborn.

Just why Colonel w. H. Osborn, of
Greensboro. one OF the finest and best
among the industrial, developers of the
Old North State. wanted to get in the
big office-holdng fraternity / do not
know. L would rather hold his good
place as developer and n hustler
among his people than to have all OF
the perquisites of Federal office. / am
inclined to think he did also, and per-
haps 1t is a case OF the office seeking
the man. Anyhow. l heartily indorse
the following from the Greensboro
Record:
1T is with distinct pride that We
speak Of the appointment yesterday of
Colonel w. II. Osborn. of Greensboro.
as United States Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue. For days it had been
known that Colonel Osborn would get
this appointment, and the delay was
due to the rush of other business be-
fore President Wilson. Colonel Osborn
is man who is we'll fitted for the
position. He has had wide experience
in matters of business administration
ana the State is to be congratulated in
having at the head of the Internal Rev
enue Department a man who will use
every effort TO stamp out tho whiskey
traffic. so far as the powers of the
Federal government may be invoked
He has long battled for temperance.

colonel Osborn has long been iden.

Carolina During the pre-convention
fight last year Colonel Osborn put his
shoulder to the. wheel for the Wilson
| forces In this State and did much Eff
fective work in finally turning the
states delegation to the man who ia
now President. The appointment of
Colonel Osborn adds another to the
long list OF native North Carolinians
who have found recognition under tho

gle case of typhoid has occurred. That
is attributed entirely to the compulsory
immunization of the army by the ty-
phoid prophylaetie.
Surgeon General Torney says that
while no measure has yet been found
to eradicate tuberculosis from the
army, as the result of improved sani-
tation and care in enlistments the
rate Of that disease is steadily dimin-

An interesting feature of the re-
port is the conclusion of the Board
on Tropical Diseases that white men

GOSPEL MISSION.
Rev. L. N. Fogg's Helpful Address
Last Meetings, Today.

Evangelist Rev. L. n. Fogg preached,
Wednesday afternoon, from st. John
xv:1-2. IT am the true vine and my
Father is the husbandman. Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit
He taketh away; and every branch
that beareth fruit, He urgeth it, that
it may bring forth more fruit" Jesus
Christ made much of parallels. He
took many things of nature to Illus
trate things of grace. The, object of
vine growth is that it may produce
fruit. Without fruit the vine is worth
less: so is Christian professors. The
branches bear the fruit-thus the only
way Jesus has of bearing fruit is
through the church or his people. The
fruit draws or receives its life from the
vine, so we draw our life from Him.
One sad thing is that every branch
that beareth not fruit he taketh away.
It is natural for a Christian to bear
fruit. To be converted is not all, but
going on to receive the urging. Some
style II the second blessing, some the
sanctification, some the baptism of the
Holy Spirit. Without the purging our
lives viii be fruitless. The new life OF
the vine bears leaves in abundance.
Soul-born men will bear testimony
likewise. Vines need trimming, so the
husbandman trims our lives. This
trimming means the taking out of car
nality, not a suppression. The vine
would object to the trimming, so often
does man object. God will not take
anything from us that we should have.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION.
Secretary Garrison Would Have Youth
Of Country Informed.

Washington, Dec. 3.-There is press
ing need for the disclosure to the
youth of the country of the facts re-
garding its military history, in the
opinion Of Secretary Garrison, who
has set out his views on the subject
pointedly to a score of principals of
military institutes who had invited
him to address their conference. Most
children are taught that the average
American as a soldier is match for
half dozen men of other nationali-
ties and to believe he can conquer the
world without any military training or
preparation.
The military instructors, who are
following in the wake of the college
presidents and the heads of the great
agricultural schools in the general
movement to encourage the military
training of their pupils, have request
ed Secretary Garrison to aid them in
preparing courses of instruction and
the secretary has undertaken to do SO.
