Wilder Graves Penfield, the Prince ton man who has just been selected as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, is not like ly to display athletic prowess of value to the Oxford track team. Penfield is the old Tiger varsity tackle and grad uated last June. Whether, like Donald Herring, another old Princeton football player, he will gain prominence in the English Rugby game while at Oxford remains to be seen. Penfeld has some thing of an ail-round ability in sport. He is a first class heavyweight wrest- Ter as well as football player.

Importance Of the place cannot

who through honest motives
opposed school improvements
can hardly fail to feel proud of
this important addition to the

OF the most important factors

worthy OF every word of praise
that can be applied to it.
On this page is published a
picture Of this new school
building. It gives an indiffer-
ent idea of the structure as
viewed from the front. With
the plans and specifications
furnished the contractors were
no elevations, and it was i'm
possible to induce the architect
to supply the deficiency. That
IS the reason why a view of
the building was never pub

was impossible to secure com
prehenslve photograph until
construction was finished.
Then the photographer was
confronted by an obstacle he
could not overcome with the
instrument he had to work
with. The building was too
near the brow of the hill to
secure a front view. A scat
fold 30 feet high had to be
erected IN order to obtain the
picture here reproduced. This
explanation is felt to be nee
essary in order to remove anv
suspicion of lack of enterprise
on the part of the Gazette in
not publishing a view of the
building long before this date,
and for the purpose of showing
the difficulties the photog-
rapher labored under in OBJ

PRESsYTERIANS FAVOR BlBLEIN SCHOOL
Syond Places Itself on Record Regarding
Scripture In State Institution.

A resolution placing the Presby.
terian Church on record as favor
ing the reading of the Bible in all
the States educational institu.
tions, and the statistical report
were perhaps the most interesting
features of the last session of the
one. .hundredth Synod of North
Carolina, which was held yester.
day morning. The statistical re.
port showed that the Synod has
received during the. past year
1901 new members, the total
membership now being 1928.
The total amount contributed to
all causes was 1929, 1S1. Dr.. D. I.
Craig, of Rsidsville, who has been
stated clerk and treasurer for the
past Is years was reelected.
The Synod will meet next in
Hickory that town having won
over Gastonia and Red Springs,
both of which we're anxious for
the honor of entertaining the
body next time. Syond will con-
vene in Hickory on the fourth
Tuesday in October, 1915.
A custom of 100 years standing
was abandoned when the stated
clerk was authorized to cease
making the minutes of the Synod
in a ledger with pen. Hereafter
the minutes will be printed in
book form from the stated clerks
uotes. Five copies will be kept
by the Synod.
The resolution concerning the

CHILD CAUGHT. UNDER A STUMP.
An Unusual and Distressing Occurrence In
Union Grove.

jennings, Dot. 18.-A right
distressing accident happened last
week in Union Grove township.
Martin Myers, Jr., was cutting
down a tree and in falling the
tree lodged on another tree, which
latter was torn up by the roots
and fell to the ground. Myers'
two children, the youngest girl
about three years old, were play
ing nearby. It seems that the
little girl crawled in the hole just
made by the torn down tree.
Myers sawed off this tree and the
stump. being held by the roots,
went back as it stood before it
fell. Myers wife came up about
this time and the child called to
its mother, saying mama, I am
under here, pull me out" The
child was out of sight except one
hand. Myers and his wife tried
to prize up the stump and it ap-
pears got the child partly releas-
ed, and just as Mrs. Myers pulled
the child the prize pole broke and
the stump went down, crushing
the child 80 that it made no more
noise. At this Mrs. Myers tainted
and Myers called for help. E. E
Robertson and Robert Rash heard
his calls and soon arrived, the
stump was priced up and the
child, apparently dead, taken out
It had been in this crushed posi-.

Lincoln Highway Follows Historic Trails.

Construction work is soon to
begin on the greatest road build.
ing project ever attempted since
the time when the Caesars, in
building the highways which are
still the main thoroughfares of
Europe, gave rise to the saying
that "All roads lead to Rome"
The modern counterpart of these
ancient roads is the Lincoln
Highway, a national thorough
fare that will extend 8,100 miles
across the American continent
from New York TO San Francisco.
Unlike the Roman roads, which
were q manifestation of imperial
power, the Lincoln Highway is
the result of a popular movement
and is to be built by popular
subscriptions. After over year
of careful investigation and after
numerous conferences with the
officials of the different states
that the highway is to pass
through, the route has been def.
initely decided on, while, of the
100000 needed for carrying
out the work, over $4,000, 900 has
alrsady been subscribed. Twelve
states will be crossed by this
highway which is to serve to
future generations as a fitting
memorial to the martyred presi.
dent whose name it bears. A
description of the proposed road
and a map showing the route from
coast to coast appears in the
