HAMPTON. VA. December 12.-Ihe
National Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education held the final
meeting of It's eighth convention at
Hampton Institute to-day. C. A. Pros
ser said Hampton is an unanswerable
argument in favor of industrial edu-
cation. Hampton" he said has
clearly defined the place of the private
school In education. Industrial schools
are not for lame ducks, but for red
hlooded children. The measure of
Hampton is what it's graduates are do
ing. 1t Is giving mn excellent account
OF its stewardship. Hampton is put
ting theory and philosophy into prac-
ticc, and is u shining promise of bet
ter days in industrial education"
Those who spoke were DIR. Hollis b.
Frissell. principal of Hampton: Charles
y. Bennett, editor of the Manual Train
ing Magazine, heads of departments ut
Hampton, and r. c. Stearnes, State

In October, 1912. he began his term

tober. 1913, young Crandall effected
his escape from the convict camp in
which he was working, near Orange
Courthouse. Nothing more was heard
of the fugitive until May 20. OF this
year when he walked into the Office
of Governor Stuart at the Capitol and
announced to Secretary Alexander For
ward that he had recently escaped
from convict camp and desired to sur
render himself to the Governor. The
secretary heard Crandall's story. The
Governor was not in the office; but the
secretary communicated with him by
telephone. Then he told the fugitive
that he might expect nothing in the
way of leniency from the executive.
THE Governor says you must take
your medicine. He will make no terms
or conditions with YOU" Secretary
Forward told the young fellow.
"All right" replied Crandall IL am
willing 10 go back to prison" He sat
at the secrctary's desk and wrote a
letter to his mother notifying her of
his determination to go back to the
convict camp. The secretary directed
him to the pententiary, then notified
the prison officials OF the whereabouts
of the runaway. But Crandall was
weary OF eluding tho officers of the
law. He went direct to the prison and
surrendered himself.
It was the manly spirit displayed
by the fugitive in returning volun-
tarily to the prison to pay the penalty
cxacted by tho law, and his subse-
Quent good conduct as q prisoner that
won the interest of the Governor

NEW EXPERIMENT
IN DRY FARMING

Upon the suggestion Of the gov
eminent and the advice If the
many farm journals, the farmers
OF this section are trying an cX-
pertinent on a new fodder. The
planting of sweet clover is going
on extensively. The government
has urged the planting of this
hardy grass, es it claims it has the
feeding qualities of alfalfa, while
it is known to grow where alfalfa
is a failure.
Charley Singerland Was among
the first to plant it this season
while at the Emigh and Humphrey
farms ground has been seeded.
Several others in n small way
have secured the seed and the cx-
pertinent along this neH departure
will be watched with keen interest
10y others who own dry farms where
they must depend on the winter
moisture and summer rains Tor

Should this new fodder carry up
to the program as outlined by the
farm advocates and iiosr vino have
met with sorcess in other sections
it would mean the reclamation of
considerable land that is now ir
use for range. 1t is the work OF
the present cXpcrimenicrs that will
have Il considerable bearing on the
future development of a new range
and fodder plant in this section.-

ward incidents such as these have
not occurred in any case where
representatives of other govern
rnents were concerned but only in
dealings with representatives Of
the United States and that there
has been no occasion for other gov
ernments to call attention to such
matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated ~offenses against
the right and dignity Of the United
States, %offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of
other governments. have necessarily
made the impression that The Unit
ed States was singled out for mani
festation of i'll will and contempt.
The authorities Of the state de-
partment feel confident that when
the seriousness and cumulative
effect of these incidents is made
evident to the government of Mexi-
co, that government will see the
propriety and the necessity of Civ
ing such evidence of its desire to
repud;ate and correct these things
Is will be not only satisfactory to
the government of the United
State, but also an evidence to the
rest Of the world as an entire
change of attitude.

nifty of the de facto government in

and even to get money from gaTb-

This is the way they did it.
Three n II four of them would 60

All OF such sit machines are
made so that the public simply

just often enough to encourage you

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The situation in Mexico is clea:-
~ told in the following Official
statement issued by the ddministra-
ton yesterday:
In discussions in official circles
in Washington OF the present Mcxi-
can situation, the following points
have been much dwalt upon:
1t has been p intsd out that in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must
not he thought cf alone. For some
time past the dc facto government
Of Mexico seemed tn think mere
apologies suffricnt when the rights
Of American citizens or the dignity
of the government of the United
States were invo!:cd and has appar-
emily made no attempt at either
reparation or tha effective corrcc-
ton of the seri rs derclcctions OF
its civil and military officers.
Immediately after the incident
at rampico an orderly from one Of
the ships Of the United States in
the harbor Of Yofl Cruz, who had
been sent ashore to the p~ostoiice
for the ships n il and who was in
uniform and WHO had the official
mail bag on his l'Ick, was arrested
and put into Jail Ivy the local au-
thoritics. He 2aj subsequently, re-
leased and a ~ final punishment
inflicted on the c,iirer who had ar
rested him, but il was significant
that an orderly rom the feet of
the United Stat 5 was picked out
from the many ! 'rsons constantly
going ashore or yarions crrands,
from the variou hips in the har-
Dor representing several nations.
Most serious % al, the officials
IN charge Of The elcgrhph Office at
Mexico presumed TO withhold nm
official dispatch # the government
| of the United ST tls TO its embassy
Mt Mexico City, uatil it should have
been sent to the censor and his
permission received to deliver It,
and gave tie dispatch into the
hands Of the chargc d'affaire of the
United States only on his personal
and emphatic demand, he having in
tho mrantime learned through
other channels that a dispatch had
been sent him which he had not
received.
1t cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course Of events
in Mexico as significant that unto.
