To $4,000 Mark
LISTS NOT YET COMPLETE BUT
PROBABLY WILL BE WITH
IN WEEK.

The committees have been working
diligently in the matter of collections
for the Red Cross Fund and total OF
$780,. 80 has been signed so far as it was
possible to complete the list to date.
Some reports have not been turned in as
yet because the committeeman feel that
they can raise quite little more money,
many of them having set certain mark
for themselves to reach and are deter
mined not to give up until they reach it.
In a few days, however, the lists will be
made up and turned in and the funds
prepared for sending. The committee
fworking in West Newton furnished us
with names just before we went to press
and were unable to give all that had
subscribed as the list was divided into
two parts and only one was available.
Nor are the Cottonwood and CORTLAND
lists quite complete yet, according to
the committeeman, but a fair isdea may
be obtained of the work that has been
done to raise the sum that has been
secured.

Scotch National Hero.

One hundred years ago the cele-
brated colossal statute of Sir William
Wallace was formally dedicated by the
earl of Buchan, In connection with the
celebration of the five hundredth ami
versary Of the battle of Bannockburn.
Sir William Wallace is known as the
national hero Of Scotland, and the
stories of his courage, patriotism and
devotion are familiar to all the chill
dren of that land. AS the leader of
band of patriotic followers, he fought
for years to deliver Scotland from
English rule. When victory seemed
about to crown his efforts he was de-
feated and captured through treach-
cry, August s, 1905, and sent prison
er to London. There he was tried for
high treason. On the same day that
he was convicted he was executed and
his body quartered.

NORTH CAROLINA /
FRUIT CROP SHORT.
Long Continued Drought Blight
ed Early Prospects For a
Bumper Yield

The North Carolina fruit crop will
be short this year. according to the
report. issued Friday. by Prof. w. N.
HUT. State ~horticulturist The short
& is due TO long continued drought
from April to July. The grape crop
will be nearly normal.
Prof. Hutt's report follows:
Owing to the long-coutinued drouth
our final report Of fruit prospects for
NORTH Carolina has been the most be-
lated one we have published in years.
Though early spring prospects were
very favorable for a bumper crop Of
nearly all kinds OF fruits. each sue
ceeding day Of the long extended
drouth heightened the season Of the
June drop and thereby subtracted
proportionately from the final total.
Orchards OF which cultivation WAS
started early and persistently follow
ed through the dry spell suffered very
little from the drop. In fact under
good tillage the drop saved thinning
and left Just about the amount OF
fruit the trees could carry. There
was. however, n advantage about
the dry spell. if it vas bad for fruit.
it was also bad for insects and espe-
cially fungas diseases. Early
peaches showed practically no brown
rot even when unsprayed. Apples.
though a little small in size, are clean
and free from c and blOtch. Bitter
rot could scarcely survive the hot
parching days.
Blight seems to have been worse
than usual this season on pears and
especially SO on apples.
IN the last week or SO the drOuth
has been broke in all parts of the
State and all late fruits are coming
on in fine shape.

FLORA MCDONALD AND
BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE
In the Matter Of a Criticism Made in
One OF the Weekly Newspapers.

To the EditOr:-There seems to be
a misrepresentation concerning the life
history of Flora Mcdonald, especially
among the Scotch people of the Cape
Fear region, which was early settled
principally by emigrants from Scot
land. A prominent editor of one Of
our weeklie recently accused her of
being a wOman Of bad character.
This expression was brought about
by a movement now on foot to re-
name the Red Springs Female College
to that Of the Flora Mcdonald Col
lege, conditional on the proposition to
raise 100000 for it's endowment. II
people would read history more and
novels less, there would be more sat
isfaction in life.
Flora Mcdonald was somewhat ad-
vanced in life when she came to
America, and therefore would natur-
ally escape censure. When a young
girl, she assisted the escape Of Bonnie
Prince Charlie, after his defeat at Gull
loden. He was at that time the pride
Of the Highlands, handsome, brave
and bent on the regaining of his
fathers throne. After his defeat,
Flora assisted him to escap to
France. Of which incident, the most
desultory reader must be acquainted
with. After he landed in France,
Flora saw him no more. His diSap-
pointment connected with the dissi-
patton Of the French court seemed to
have changed the modest Prince into
a dissipated French rOue.
Flora McDonald's brave and heroic
action in saving the Princes life may
ave aroused, naturally, SON tender
feelings On both sides, which after
wards gave rise to this Infamous
SANDER. The writer never heard Of
it until the aforementioned editor un-
earthed it from his vivid Imagination
It is hoped that the endowment
will succeed, which will place this in
stitution well in the forefront Of
American colleges. After all, Mr.
Editor, it is not the money that make:
the college. although a great help il
it's equipment. but it is the eHcien'
work of an able faculty, that put!
