Ernest McKae, a colored con-

squad now at work on the w. 4
Y. r. r. r. on Elk creek in this
county, was crushed and instant
ly killed last Monday afternoon
about $3.50 clock byan immense
rock weighing several tons, which
was loosened a feW minutes be-

the rock cut in which the con-
victs were working, and which
hung to the bluff overhead until
the convicts returned to their
work after the blast was made.
One of the guards noticed that
the rock was loose and about to
fall and gave the alarm. The un.
fortunate victim of the accident
was unable to get out Of the way
Of the rock and it fell lsquaely up
on him, grinding his bones and
flesh to a pulp on the rocks un-
derneath him. The body was in

This is the first serious accident
that has befallen any of the con

been taken to safeguard them
and the death of this poor fellow
is deeply deplored by the guards
and railroad officials and employ
ees alike. .

A five line press dispatch car.
ries the announcement that a
French company Of capitalists
has secured from the Turkish
government the right to con-
struct an electric railway from
Jerusalem to Bethlehem, and IN
one year from now, it is stated
cars will be in operation between
the points named.
Here We have another illustra.
ton OF the relentless march ofciv.
ilization. Along the beaten track
which camels and donkeys ira.
versed nearly two thousand years
ago this modern electric car will
glide on rails Of steel, and the
fash OF the trolly pole will be
seen at the site whereon the star
Of Bethlehem announced the birth
Of mans Redeemer.
While one would not deplole
the triumph Of mans inventive
skill, nor seek to impede the pro.
yress Of civilization, he must feel
\ tinge OF regret that scenes SO
sacred as these connected with
the mystery Of mans redemption
must be ruthlessly invaded by
the modern money-maker. The
raucous cry of "this car for Beth.
ehem!" will be heard. above the
prayers of the devout faithful
Who walk along the roads which
.he Savior trod.
There will be no sacrilege Of
course in the advent OF street

lite the new order Of things only
to show that modernism knows

aeartless destroyer Of traditions
Ind it stops not at sentiment.
Could the shepherds who follow.
I'd the star to Bethlehem come
back again to the scenes Of thei1
pilgrimage they would see much
whereat to marvel. Could King
David see again the hills about
his birthplace he would not know
them.
But however modernized it may
become, Bethlehem will always
be Bethlehem to the Christian
world. The hum of electric flyers
cannot drive into oblivion the in.
lescribable roll OF music which
the shepherds heard when they
caught the first angelic note in
the song of the worlds edemp-
ton. And even when the smoke
of modern industry shall obscure
the sky Of the Holy Land, it will
not blot out from the worshiping
eyes of the faithful the blue vault
overarching the plains of Bethle'
hem and the Judean hills, once
resplendent with the star of the
Nativity. Thin lines ofsteel may
thread the paths made holy, but
there will still remain that celes.

Durham. N, c.. Dispatch.
Judge Jeter c. Pritchard today
registered his protest against the
tango and the turkey trot and
the slit skirt in the fifth OF q se.
ries of meetings for men being
held at the Baptist church. Judge
Pritchad was heard by over l.
600 men, and many anens and
mods of the head greeted what he
had to say about the present-day
fashion Of the feminine part oi
the North Carolina population.
The Conservation ofManhood'
was the subject on which Judge
Pritchard spoke. and he outlined
O. number Of ways in which tn e
fathers and mothers of the State
could conserve the manhood oi
the rising generation. The distfn.
guished jurist spoke with a seri-
BUSINESS characteristic OF all oi
his discussions OF moral issues.
He talked in a conversational
tone, but none Of the addresses
that have been delivered in Dur
ham have been listened to more
attentively.
His speech was filed with illus
trations of the results OF the fail
ure of parents to give their chill
1ren the proper home training.
All of these Illustrations c q m e
from the observation Of the spea,-
ker while he was on the bench, in
the Senate and in his present po.
sition.
The proper home training was
the first means advocated for the
conservation Of the boys a n d
girls OF the State, and the second
was prohibitive and repressive
laws.
In the first case Judge Pritch.
ard said that he knew ofmany in.
stances in which the fathers left
the whole training OF the children
to the mothers. That this was
bad was shown from the fact that
there are always times in the life
Of boys and girls when the strong
arm OF the fathers authority is
needed.
That the prohibition law was
not an interference Of the person.
al liberty OF any man, but an ef.
fort to take the temptations a.
way from the people, the young
people of the State, was the po-
sition taken by Judge Pritchard
on the whiskey question. He re.
called some OF the scenes from the
early history of Madison County,
and said that while he was prac.
ticing law in that section of the
country he defended 81 murders.
The dockets of the county were
crowded with murder cases. He
told of the fight made against
whiskey in that county, and fl.
nally wound up with the present
day conditions Of Madison.
The duty of the South in theen
forcement of these laws was stress.
ed. The duty rests heavier on
the South than on any other sec.
tion of the country because ofthe
fact that the South is the most
American part of the country
and hence on her depends the pre-.
servation of the American Insti
tute.

The Country School.
News and Observer

News and Observer
Prof. CharlesrH. Utley, former
= " Of Wake county but now su-
perintendent of thegraded school
at Webster, in Jackson county,
writes for the jackson county
Journal an article on 1.-THE Coun-
try Schools" that deserves to be
widely read:
Every one who has given the
subject any thought has noticed
that the great men in the ecity are
usually those who come from the
country. 1t is also true that the
rugged characters who go to the
city and find conditions there
plastic under the touch OF their
personality generally leave chill
dren who are by no means OF the
dcalibre Of their father, indicating
that the city is not the place to
develop the stener virtues.
So for the sake of the city in
which the country boyis to play
such an importantpart thecoun-
try boy needs good educational
facilities. But Prof. Utley makes
the plea for better educational
facilities for the country boy, to
the end that he may do more for
the country. He would have the
educated country boy stay at
home instead of rushing off to
the city.
Prof. .Utley, finds in the efficient
country school the solution OF
the problem of the drift to the
city. He,well says that the eff
cheney OF the. country school in
the, future will largely determine
the Joy Of living in the country.
This is recognizing an essential
fact in connection with the prob
lem Of keeping country boys in
the country. Living in the coun-
try must be made more pleasant
than it has been heretofore.
Answering the question as to
how the country school will do
what he says he can do. Prof.
Utley says the country school
must teach the natives how to
live and how to get a living. 1t
is we'll known that homes in the
country are not as attractive as
they might be and that the CON-
forts OF life are not as plentifully
provided in the rural districts as
they are in the city.
The well equipped country
school will meet these needs from
two directions. 1t will spread
the refining influences which tend
to make for happiness in the
home and it will produce the
efficiency which transmutes itself
into the wealth which makes the
comforts Of life possible. "The
future" says Prof. Utley, "holds
out many aattering promises to
the intelligent, progressive young
people who are educated along
the lines of industrial science.
There is no doubt at all about
the strategic part which the coun
try school will hold in the solu-
ton OF the problem disappearing
the teeming millions OF the land.
Greater production is clearly seen
to be one of the crying needs OF
the day. The country school,
teaching among other things the
branches that will tend to enthu-
