sylvia INSTITUTE Han
VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR

DIR. A. E. Brown, superintendent of
the Baptist Mountain school work,
returned from Sylvia last night where
ne had gone to preach the COM
mencement sermon of the Sylvia
Collegiate institute. This is one Of the
system of thirty-four mountain
schools of the Baptist Home mission
board, of which DR.. Brown is the
founder and superintendent.
The Sylvia institute has had verv
satisfactory year. Prof. j. C. Ingram
and his cultured co-workers have
made themselves very large place
IN the town and surrounding conn
ties. Prof. Ingram contemplated re-
turning to his farm near Salisbury
and had made his arrangements to
90 so, but the people would not hear
to his leaving. They rose up against
1t and he had to reconsider and re
main with them.
In addition to the improvements
which have been made during the
last year on the property, other i'm
provements will be made during the
summer, and plans for more exten-
Sive work than ever before have
been made. A band of strong young
men are putting themselves beside
Prof. Ingram to make this school
meet the demands.
Gallatin Roberts will deliver the
literary address before the school on
Tuesday next. Mr.. Roberts visit is
anticipated with a great deal of
pleasure by the people of Sylvia and
Jackson county: He won place in
the hearts of many of them by his
of their bill before the legs
lature to move the court house from
Webster to SylVa.-GaZette

COLLEGIATE institute
COMMENCEMENT

Marking the close of a most sue
cessful year in it's history, the Com
mencement exercises of the Sylvia
Collegiate Institute were opened
sunday morning with a most power
tul sermon by DR.. A. E. Brown super
lntendent of the Baptist Mountain
Schools.
The Annual address was delivered
Monday evening by Hon. Gallatin
Roberts of Asheville, who spoke on
the subject of Youth, and what
are you going to do with it," Mr.
Roberts is at all times a forceful
and logical speaker and made a
great impression upon the audiance
as he urged the young people to
make the most Of their opportunities,
to read the books and MAGAZINES
that are helpful and elevating, to
get the best education possible, stat
ing that no boy or girl can say now
that they have not the opportunity;
then ne urged the boys and girls
to stay at home and give this state
and section the benefit of their
talents, as there are as great or
greater opportunities here as in the
west or any where else.
The smaller children gave their
entertainment Tuesday afternoon
and pleased the audiance with the
performance.
Tuesday night was the debate.
between six young men of the school
upon the Question, Resolved: That
women should be given the right of
suffrage in America" Messrs Durham
Powers, Lacy Butler and Ralph
Jarrett, espoused the suffrage cause
while Messrs Harlow Kitchen. Hugh
Monteith and Roscoe Paris took the
stand-pat position. All the Young
men made pleasing speaches and
the question was hotly contested
The Judges decided in the affirm
abve and awarded the medal for
the best debater to Mr.. Lacy Butler.
Especiel mention should be made of
the speach of Hugh Monteith. He is
the yonnGest of the six boys and
from the impression made upon the
guidance he promises to develop in
to an excellent speaker.
Wednesday evening the students
of the school pleased large audi
ance with the presentation of an
operetta The Gypsies."

REPLIES To LETTER.

space In your paper to say few
words in regard to the Farm Life
School. Although the election has
been called off, yet think that the
question should not be dropped; fol-
1t is only matter of few months
or years until we will ha,e the Farm
Life School in Jackson County.
noticed an article in last week s
issue of the Journal, very severely
condemning the Farm-life School
and call ng it the greatest hot air
bubble that has ever been thrust
upon our people" | am surprised to
note that any man should character
lze a school of any kind as a hot
air bubble
The gentleman says that the
movement is agitated by men that
know nothing about farming. That
may be true. But | have nv doubts
about it. 1t is hard for us to see our
own faults. Perhaps that is why the
farmers of our county were opposed
to this me asure. They could not see
their own faults. but other folks
can.
Now Iwish to ask the gentlemen
who wrote that article to be perfect
ly frank and answer the following
questions in regard to the Farm-life
School.
l. If the farm life school is not for
the best interest of our farmers, WHY
did FORTY THOUSAND of the lead
ing farmers of North Carolina peti-
ton the Legislature of North Caro-
lima to pass the law for the state?
z If the schools are not proving
a success and the. farmers of the
country are not getting any benefit
from them, why have there been
more than THIRTY THREE HUN.
DRIED established within the United
States since 1901?
5. If the schools are not proving
beneficial 20 the farmers of our own
state. | ask you why is it that down
IN the eastern part of North Carolina
where the schools have been put in
operation, that they are eagerly ask
ing the state to let them build the
schools? Why is it that Guilford
county one of the first to try the
law has not established only one of
these. but THREE?
4. Ii these schools have not prov
ed beneficial. why was it that Dr.
J. 7. Joyner, the greatest educator
that we have in the state and the
one who has done more for educat-
onal uplift of our state than anv
other one man, after going to Wis
;onsin and other states and seeing
he schools in operation came back
o North Carolina, and recommended
hem to our people. saying that they
'e the fitting climax to our splendid
school system? Will you not believe
he words of DR.. Joyner? Is he not
man to merit our confidence?
)ruing his fourteen years as State
superintendent of Public Instruction,
las he ever done one thing or advis-
d one thing against the interest of
he people he represents?
5. Again I ask you about the boy
hat raised 173 bushels of corn per
ere. Yes, who gave him the in
truction to do this? Was he not en-
oiled in the Boys Corn Club of the
'tate? Did he not have to cultivate
lis acre according to the Instruction
f the managers of the Boys Corn
;lubs? Why is it that the boys of
hese corn clubs are raising on the
verage sixty three bushels of corn

oHly ClSulecn DuSnelS! Is
thls work not part of the work OF
! the A. 4 M. College? Is not the pre-
sent Agent in Boys Corn Club work
an A. & M. man?
o. wish TO ask you where are
you getting your agricultural pane,
70 read! Are not most of them edited
oy professional men, chiefly teach
ers? In looking over one of the agri-
cultural papers which I take, find
tnat three of the leading sections
are edited by professional men. those
oolne work as teachers in the lead
ing schools OF the South, AGRICULTURAL
schools, too.
T. DO you not believe that we can
learn things by seeing things done?
you know that it has been said that
experienced keeps dear school but
fools will learn in no other" and I
believe that there is something true
about that, too It is an evident fact
that we must get our ideas from
some one. This school will be the
place to get the ideas and test them
and then if they prove successful,
take them back AM use them on
our farms.
8. Again ask you why is it that
our boys have distaste for the
farms? Have we not been keeping
schools that train them to look awav
from the farms? Does the great Book
not teach us this fact, and I believe
1t is as true as any passage in that
Divine word, and | hold it to be one
OF the greatest sayings that Solomon
ever uttered: Train up child in
the way he should 60, and when he
is old he will not depart from it"
DO you not believe that if we train
up a child to be farmer, when he
+ Is Older, he will not depart from it2
And do you not also believe that if
we train hi n away from the farm
by putting him in school where
other topics have the predominance,
that he will not take to farming?
3. Again | ask you why is it that
such men as Uncle Davie Rogers.
Jno. L, Ferguson and the others that
you mentioned have made such a
success at farming? What kind of
farms have they? Are they not the
best in the county? But here is the
question to test whether man is
success at any occupation: Is he
making two blades grow where one
formerly grew? If so he is a success.
10 begin with, most of them got
their farms back when land was
cheap, or possibly some of them in
herited it. They have land that has
always been the very best in Jack
son County. All that they have to
do is to maintain it where it was
when they got hold of it.
But. my friend, we younger men
who are growing up and who would
like to farm, have not the farms to
compete with such men as Jno. L. |
Ferguson. We must learn how to
make ours from our little mountain
farms. We must exercise our brain.
That is why we are demanding a
Farm Life School. 1t is not for such
men as David Rogers that we need
the school, but it is for the vast
that we do need it. We
want men in our County who can
show us how to make the most out
Of our land We want teachers who
can come among us and give us
new ideas. We want teachers that
will show us the best method of
handling and caring for our stock.
We don't want to have to send over
into Tennessee or Kentucky or

AS J. PIuvius walked away with
his colors Thursday the national
game was deferred and a double bill
staged on Friday.
Captain Couric of the visitors was
their HEAVIER and Corker the receiver.
The Alabamians' lineup was chang
ed from its general appearance by
the insertion of one of South Geor-
gia's "snollygosters" Crouch Bald
win-who played wonderful game
by far out-playing any of his team
mates. The home boys had Smiling
jack Slappey in the box with their
captain in his regular position.
AS to the features in this game
well, Slappey not only held his oppo-
nents to two hits, but made two hits,
walked once and stole one base. Ev-
cry man on the club made at least
one hit, but bud Barnard went wild
and fed his average with three douD-
les and a single out of four trips up.
Holiday and Higgins would have
done quite as well, 1 am sure, had
they the opportunity, but as they
were allowed only three times at bat
they could only get three hits. Our
team made just 10 hits, which Melted
Is runs, and in the meantime played
errorless ball. The game was called
by agreement in the seventh inning
The home boys didn't want too much
practice, and the visitors center
fielder was warned to stop running
around on the plowed ground.

VISITORS WIN The FIRST
MONTEZUMA LUCKS ANOTHER
OVER THE HOME BOYS.

In Fast and Snappy Game Monday
Dawson Lost BY a Score of to o.
Second Game This Afternoon.
Montezuma won the first of the
three-game series Monday afternoon
by a score of / to 0. The visitors
used their same machine except that
Brodgenk played second and Tutery
right Methvin, of Coweta fame, was
sent in by Manager Mack to pitch
and Josh Riley held him up.
The "Cheros" used their same team
with Schuessler pitching. The game
was hard fought from the beginning,
Dawson fighting for revenge and
Montezuma to keep the laurels.
The first six men to face Schuess-
Ter were all infield outs, while in the
initial inning our lead-off man, Har-
bi, got his hit, but was forced at sec
ond, and Holiday was safe on first.
He swiped second, and went to third
on Higs' sacrifice, but Barnard's bal
lOoner stuck in Dodge's glove. In
the second it was l, 2, and against
us. But in the third after Stewart
was an easy out Tutery hit to center
for two bags, but to no avail, for
Methvin and Brodgenk left him
there. In the home boys half Do
zier led off with his hit, but was
doubled at second by a perfect play
of Halves, who killed Schuess at the
initial cushion, and Dick didn't like
Harbi any better, for he stopped him
there also.
1t was anybody's game. After
Sans and Halves struck out Riley got
mad and doubled and scored on Brod-
genk's single to left. Dodge retired
the side, second to first. Every cog
was we'll oiled and working fine, and
the next three innings not man got
past second. But in our half Of the
eighth after "Mony" had misjudged
three and Dozier had done likewise
those Riley did also, and Dozier was
safe at first. Then Schuessler hit to
short, who three to second, who FUN
bled, and both runners were safe.
"Harbi" got his second hit and Do
zier was thrown out at the plate.
Tebeaut, running for Schuessler,
took third and HARRISON second, but
Holiday retired the side by long
fly to Dodge. In the ninth neither
side had a chance to get away, so
the old game was over.

and the joke of the farce comedy was

with the home boys using their
regular lineup, except that HARRISON
was to do the receiving and Arthur
Tillman the pitching. The visitors
shifted their team a bit-Blackman
pitched and Conner caught and their
center fielder was promoted to sec
ond. The game was a drag, for the
boys were tired and it hurt them for
such joke to be played on them
twice in the same p. m. They didn't
fight hard. The game was feature
less with the exception of "Higs' !"
