ROAD CONGRESS IS
A TRAINING SCHOOL
GREATEST AUTHORITIES IN THE
LAND WILL BE PRESENT
AT DETROIT MEET.

A movement is on foot to make
the American Road Congress an an
nual training school for road and
crease their efficiency through atten-
dance at lectures given by leading
specialists. and by study of the gov
eminent and commercial exhibits of
materials and equipment. This years
session of the Congress which will be
held at Detroit during the week Of
Sept. 20 will bring together the great
est authorities in the land on every
line of road and street work. and will
be supplemented by the mort re-
markable and instructive series or
exhibits ever shown in this country.
1t is commended that a great deal OF
money can be saved TO states. counties.
and municipalities by having the road
and street officials attend the Amerf-
can Road Congress at the expense OF
the State and local governments. The
reason Of this is that the officials can
there see and critically examine and
compare every known labor saving
device and equipment for road and
street work: critically examine every
known road material In competition
with all known road materials. study
the government exhibits, which illus

CHATHAM. VA, Aug. ls.-ThA
Chatham Training school was estab-
hshed with the idea of putting in
reach Of boys and young men the best
possible advantages to secure the
proper preparatory school education
Those who control the affairs of the
institution have no desire to mako
money out of 1t. There is not one
dollar in the school placed there as
an investment. save In the education
of boys and young men. The trustees
employ the teachers. and they are de-
termined to have the very best Every
instructor liz college graduate and
vitality interested in the training of
boys and young men.
The school is planned as an educA-
tional training station, In which It IL
possible for boys OF good natural quail
ifications to grow up normally and
healthnllly into young manhood, so
equipped in the essentials of efficien-
cy. manliness. good citizenship. and
a sane knowledge OF the relative
values in life az to be credit to them
selves and of service to their coun-
try.
While the book subjects ordinarily
composing the curriculum Of most
schools will be given their proper
place in ours. they will by no means
monopoliZe attention. Believing that
the preparatory age is more important
than the college age in the essential
preparation for life. we shall try, says
the president. to restore the normal,
oldtime balance and keep boys In
touch with actual living and its duties
at the most impressionable and re-
sponsive period of their lives.

BUMPER CROP Of
CAROLINA TOBACCO
GOOD PRICES LAST YEAR
STIMULATES FARMERS TO
GREATER ACREAGE

Good prices for tobacco last year
stimulated farmers to try to make
a large crop this year, and that the
crop in North Carolina will be the
largest ever raised Is our opinion.
The large crops and good prices have
also caused new markets to be organ
lied and new warehouses on many
old markets to be built. A number
of new markets have been started In
South Carolina and some In eastern
North Carolina. Quite number OF
new warehouses have been erected In
these sections. For instance, Green
VILE. n. c., had FIVE houses last sea-
son. and there have been two new
warehouses built, making seven for
Greenyille. which sells from ten TO
twelve million pounds each season.
In the old belt extensive prepare
lions are being made for handing the
next crop. New markets are being
opened and new houses built and many
old ones enlarged.

DANyILLE. VA. Aug. 16.-The to-
bacco season of 1913-1914 opened
Friday with eight warehouses in full
swing, and the probability that there
will he ten before the season is well
under way.
MIR. w. r. Cousins. ex-president Of
the Tobacco association. was inter-
viewed this morning and was asked
what were the prospects for the 1913
crop of tobacco. He replied that the
prospect for the tobacco this year
at this time, were as good as he had
ever seen before.
He said. further, that number of
farmers were cutting their tobacco.
and that still others had already cut
several curings, In some instances
farmers have cut and cured as many
as fifteen or twenty barns of tobacco.
1t is understood that one prominent
farmer. who lives near the city, cut
and cured fifteen barns of tobacco on
one plantation and ten barns on
another.
When asked about the quality of
the tobacco that would be marketed
this year, he said that the indica-
tons at present were. with favorable
that has been sold In ten or twenty
years. The tobacco. he said, is fine
in texture. silky and smooth.
Asked about prices, he said that,
Judging from the prices that were
obtained son the Southern markets.
the prices this year would be fully
as high as they were last year, if not
higher. Last year there was a guam
tity of tips marketed here, and that
had a tendency to lower the average,
but there would be very few tips this
year. and it is possible that the prices
will be a great deal higher.
While the tobacco that has already
been cured is all right for marketing.
a great deal depends upon the weather
conditions from now on until the to-
hacco on the hill is housed and cured,
In the event that long spell of rainy
weather sets in, the tobacco would be
liable to second growth and the leaves
would be of a coarser texture, thus
bringing a lower price.
However. Mr.. Cousins stated. the
tobacco outlook for the coming sea-
son is unusually bright, and there is
every indication of banner year for
the farmers In regard to prices.
The two new warehouses which are

SCHOOL SOLVING
THE BOY PROBLEM
by WILLIAM OSCAR RYBURN. NJ.
A.. ASSOCIATE PRINCIPAL.
CLUSTER SPRINGS ACADEMY.

CLUSTER SPRINGS. VA. August
1s.--There are two ways of doing
every thing that has to be done in this
world One is to take chances and
the other is to play ahead. The first
may turn out right. but the second
seldom fails.
This school la often the shaper of =
boys destiny consequently no parent
should fail to investigate thoroughly
the character and kind of school to
which he intends sending his boy for
his preparatory training. The trouble
of doing so is slight, but the results
obtained are often monumental and
far-reaching Parents often plan the
career OF their man-child before he Is
able to lisp a word. They know he il
to be educated. They should know
that successful school Is not an
ephemeral Institution and they can
depend upon 1t TO be prepared to
mould the character. develop the body.
and train the mind of their son when
he Is old enough to be committed to its
care.
schools true worth is measured
by the lives and careers of those who
have gone out from its walls. These
men and boys are the living proofs
that should be examined.
Cluster Springs Academy has his
tory dating back nearly half CEN
fury. It courts the investigation that
leads to comparison. Few schools can
show a better record than 1t has made.
In point of scholarship 1t stands in the
front rank OF Southern Preparatory
schools It's graduates are admitted
without examination to our greatest
universities and colleges. This is the
strongest, evidence of thA>ahi&h stand
ard of work maintained. The boys
who come here are boys who expect
to enter some college or university

In real estate circles the past week

The outlook, however, Is optimis-
tfc. Money. real estate men say, Is
easier, and inquiries are good, with
prospects that the coming week Will

will make the men who dahble In dirt

thing as midsummer duliness.

Many ~ the most active real estate
men, as well as the big spectators,
are still out OF town on their vaca-

large measure for the lassitude in real
estate circles When they return
