mates of money need on their original
appearance before the committee.
Several suppEcants appeared iii the
audience chamber last night, but
were informeh of the fixed determi-
nation of the committee to not furth-
er prolong the hearings. The Sena-
tors having before them solemn re-
quests for much more money than
will be available for appropriation,
settled down with the pruning knives
to make the aspirations of educational
boards and State departments con-
form with the states revenue.
1t was said last night that the
committee was about determined to
fix S6,70O,000 a year as the limit
of expenditures by this general as
sembly. The 1912 legislature made
appropriations of about s6,4s5,OO0
and the senate committee figures on
5000 900 increase in revenue during
the two-year periods.

ators, Echols, Garrett, Holt, Harman,
Farley, Fletcher, Lesner, Massie,

BOYS IN MU'TINY.
Boys Plan to Whip Teacher But Get
Worst of it.

Kinston, n. c, Jan. IA compli-
G. ton Of troubles, including law
suit, have come out of the attempt Of
school boys to thrash the master at
rural school in the Bullhead sec
ton of Greene county. H. B. Jeffries,
a boy school teacher of Asheville.
came to the district six weeks ago TO
assume charge Of the school. He
made himself obnoxious to three of
the most Stalwart of his male pupils
and they framed cp" to whip him.
The STRIPPING teacher heard of the
conspiracy and prepared for emer-
gencies.
When the trio of mutineers Stalked
into the school house and sullenly ac-
costed Jeffries, he set upon them
sineIy ard collectively with sub
stantial hickory switches. One of the
boys alleges that he sat down upon
the stove and the other two declare
that in their frenzy they hugged the
stove pipe, adding to their pains. The
affair created no end of trouble in
the district.
All three Of the lads are sons Of
committeeman, and his victory cost
the schoolmaster his job. He ap-
pealed to Debnam, the county super.
intendent, who upheld the committee
men. 1t appears, though, that JEFF
fries was not without friends, for ev-
cry patron of the school save the
committeeman signed petition re-
questing that he be retained. No%
Jeffries has gone home and a law
yer has been employed by him to sue
for his salary for the remaincer Of
the term.

SPRING NEW FEATURE.
Twenty-Six Million Dollars Surplus
Were Distributed When Jackson
Dissolved National Bank.

Rici..oll, Va, Jan. IA new
feature was introduced INTO the
Virginia -Wss' Virginia der case
yesterday when il was defni ely es-
tablished that tbs state IS inuci.rd
TO the United States government for
over two n:..;.on dollars, th: greater
part of which sum was used 81" in
terl.al improvements in the terri
tory now known as West Virginia.
This fact leads many To believe
West Virginia liable for 1,er share nf
the amount even though ina: terri
tory was a part Of Virglnla at the
time the money was deposited in the
State treasury for safekeepirg. 1t is
thought that the neighborin= State
would bitterly oppose contributing
toward the payment Of the SUN AMI
woul, use it as an argur- cnI for
postponing the settlement OF ne
debt case.
Virginia's Indebtedness sto the gov
ernment amounts to S2,l9S,4-5 80,
the total Of the sum of moEcy plac.
ed with the state government in 1896,
when there was q surplus of some
thing over S126,000,000.
This debt may play an important
part in the settlement of the Virginia
West Virginia debt case should the
treasury tepaI tlnent call on The Viz
ginia government to repay that
amount. State accountant Smythe said
Yesterday that his records show that
$3.50 600 Of the sum deposited in the
state treasury was deposited by ii IN
Norfolk and the remaining sum OF
was sent to Wheeling,
now West Virginia city. The money
deposited in Norfolk was used for
the general expenses Of maintaining
State government, while that de-
posted in Wheeling went for inter-
nal improvements.
The announcement that Virginia.
among other States, is indebted to
the Fdieral government for large
sums sent out from Washington
about the middle of December and
at that time officials of the State
have expressed them
selves as believing that no such debt
existed; that the Indebtedness OF
Virginia to the United States gov
eminent and vice versa, had been
settled in 1903 with the settlement Of
the Choctaw Indian land debts. How
ever, State Accountant Smythe has
been maxim ga more exhaustive eX-
animation of the records since that
time and yesterday announced that
he had discovere3 records of the deal
and that there is nothing existing to
show that the State government has
ever returned the amount placed in
its keeping by the United States
treasury.
Officials of the state government
say that it is very likely there will
be a merry mix-up between the rep
resentatives of the two states should
the government call for payment OF
the old debt. The Virginia officials
say that should the state have to pay
this sum West Virginia will be eX-
pected to contribute her part of the
amount. and they believe that officials
of that state will object on the
grounds that as West Virginia is not
a part of Virginia no claims can DC
held against it.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE
UNIVERSITY

In an objectionable attempt to dis
to take from him the support of his
candidacy which his capable admin
istration has amply earned for him,
some persons are spreading abroad
the insinuation that the governor of
the state is an enemy to the university.
a believer in its ruin, and an active
agent in schemes to disintegrate it.
For a final answer to all such ac-
cusations we commend every voter to
the letter printed in yesterdays
Star Mirror. If statement could be
explicit, the Governor would make 1t
So But words, meanings, and inten
tions can be no palmer than they are
in his letter. and Governor Haines's
opponents will have to seek elsewhere
for their political thunder.
Governor Haines is too shrewd a
business man to favor the tearing down
of structure that has been reared
at such considerable cost of time, en-
ergy, money, and skill; and he has
demonstrated in the past that. in spite
of tremendous pressure and at the
cost of many voters in certain quarters,
he is the staunch friend of the uni
versity, veritable bulwark of
strength against the onslaughts of its
foes
If through misunderstanding of the
exact situation any friend of the uni
versity has supposed that Governor
Haines would favor any movement
whatever that would result in the dis
indignation of the university or in its
ultimate destruction, that friend should
learn what the attitude of the governor |
has been and is with regard to the |
upbuilding of the ctate university.
He has proved himself its friend in |
the past in no uncertain way; and he
is entitled to the thanks and the |
grateful support of the friends of the
institution.

BOYS

From the time boy is twelve I'M
til he is sixteen he is apt to be a
constant source of worry to his par
ents. If he is lucky enough to bridge
the chasm between the eighth grade
and the high school successfully and
to continue uninterruptedly his IN
terest in school work and healthy
pleasures, the problem will be fairly
well solved
If he is one of those boys who
find the transition period in their
lives too much for them, his parents
will be hard put to it to keep him in
school, to occupy him happily and
profitably, and to make of him the
steady, lovable fellow he was before he
reached that age.
The problem is not all that of the
school; in fact it is very little that
of the school. Much, doubtless, can be
done by the skilful, wise teacher to
make lessons endurable and study less
irksome. But the school has your
boy only from nine to twelve and from
one to four-six hours out of twenty
four
What your boy does in the eighteen
hours left over is just as important,
Just as significant as what he does in
the six hours in school. Granting that
he sleeps eight of those hours, par
ents have on their own hands of their
boys waking hours ten hours every
school day and sixteen hours on Sat
urdays and Sundays for which they
are responsible.
If boy is allowed to idle away his
time, to be out and down town in the
evenings, to be lazy, to let his mother
wait on him and his father do the |
household chores, If his companions
are not known and approved, if, in
short parental discipline and wise
guidance are missing ten hours day
for five days a week and for sixteen
hours on Sundays and Saturdays, 1t is
too much to ask the schools to do
everything for him in the paltry six
hours a day five days a week.
When your adolescent boy fails to
continue his former habits of study
and to pursue his former wholesome
pleasures, It is easy to blame the
schools. It might be well to remember
