FROM A LOVER OF BOOKS
Advice and instruction as to Their
Proper Usage Which Is Well
Worth Consideration.

We are exercising an office of
piety when we treat books care
fully, and again when we restore them
to their proper places and commend
them to inviolable custody We
deem it expedient to warn our stu
dents of various negligences, which
might always be easily avoided and
do wonderful harm to books And in
the first place as to the opening and
closing of books. let there be due mod
Grafton, that they be not unclasped in
Ncipitate haste, nor when we have
he'd our inspection to be put away
out being duly closed. For it be-
.ves us to guard book much more
carefully than a boot But the
handling of books is specially to be
who as soon as they have learned to
form the shapes of letters, straight
way, if they have the opportunity, be.
come unhappy commentators, and
wherever they find an extra margin
about the text, furnish it with mon
strous alphabets, or IL any other friv-
olity strikes their fancy, at once their
pen begins to write It, There the
Latinist and sophister and every un-
learned writer tries the fitness of his
pen, a practice that we have frequent.
ly seen injuring the usefulness and
value of the most beautiful books
moreover, the laity, who look at book
turned upside down just as If IL were
open in the right way, are utterly un-
worthy of any communion with books.
Let the clerk take care also that the
scullion does not touch the lily
leaves OF books, all unwashed, but he
who walketh without blemish shall
minister to the precious volumes. :.
Whenever defects are noticed in
books, they should be promptly re-
paired, since nothing spreads more
quickly than a tear, and a rent which
is neglected at the time will have to
be repaired with usury.-From the

KNOWN AS FRIEND OF BIRDS
William butcher Remembered for His
unceasing Fight Against
Their Enemies.

In the American Magazine appeared
an article about William butcher. who
did more than any other American to
awaken people to the cruelty and stu
pidity of slaughtering beautiful and
useful birds. He and others finally
succeeded in having laws passed so
far-reaching that they changed the
whole aspect of millinery. In the hard
struggle Mr.. butcher sacrificed his
health. Following Is an extract from
the article about him:
Nothing ever tired or discouraged

which he fought from the first, spiked
his guns when 1t could with a paid
lobby. He got hard knocks and many
defeats, but in 1910 his efforts were
crowned with success when the EN-
pire state passed the plumage law for
bidding the sale Of the white badge OF
cruelty
He never wearied OF preaching the
great value OF insectivorous birds tc

growers of the United States probably
never will realize how much his labori

What One Boy Does Another
Can Do.

Boys, what Burt Linker has
done, is doing, many of you can
do. But it takes grit. 1t takes
moral force and determination
1t takes will power. 1t is no
easy, slip-shod sort of a come
along, by any means. Energy
and determination are needed.
You can bet on that, but it's
worth the effort, for the chances
are that ten years from now this
boy who is winning his way
against odds and succeeding ev-
cry day, will be far ahead of the
boys in Salisbury who were vast

grades at the school, Linker
was doing his best with deter
mination to win. He was working
and planning for the future. He
worked his lessons out in the
evenings and through the spare
moments of the day worked out
the difficulties that stood be-
tween him and college.

himself thus will take care
of himself as a man. Not
only so, but he will take
care of many interests that
need caring for. He viii

ship.
Boys in Salisbury who are
loafng on the Job, wasting their
time, should take a lesson from
this boy who has brain sufficient
and grit sufficient to challenge
opposition. overcome difficulties
and win every battle in which he
engages.
Burt Linker is just starting
His whole life is in the future.
He may not succeed, but the
chances are that he will succeed
and in a big way, too. He will
bear watching and trusting. He
has dozen chances to the one
of the boy who is loafing his way
Through life. His reach grows
niger every day, while the loaf
er's opportunities grow less.
Burt Linker has no special
gift that is out of the reach of
other lads of today. He has a
bright mind, but thousands of
others have too. Add to his above
the average brain grit and deter
mination, untiring energy and
strong moral courage and you
have the secret of his splendid
beginning. There are many
others as we'll endowed in a
mental way, but they lack the
moral force and determination.
Those who have the brain and
the opportunity find the various
temptations to loaf away time
too strong and waste their days
in listless living, hoping for n
lgood job to overtake them and
force itself upon them. They are
missing the golden opportunity.
They should realize it before it
is too late. They need the grit
and moral force that is carrying
Burt Linker to the head of his
classic the leadership of a un
iversity with it's more than a
thousand men and boys. What
he is doing ought to inspsire
,other boys to do the same thing
but emember, boys it takes a
courage to test out every bit of
manhood you have. 1t is no easy
task. 1t takes grit and energy
given to but few, but it is worth
the trial. The reward is practical
ly assured.
You can follow this boy if you
will-but you must have a will
good and strong. You can't
make good and loaf at the same
time. The two cannot go to.

1T was not finally decided to send
this note until Monday, (the note was
sent Monday night and Tuesday morn
in). The difficulty that faced the
president was that the note might be

more freely than usual and in the

To this he limited, that II the United
States were to enter the war il would
turn the scales definitely. and he en-

NEGRO SHOT BY WOMAN.
Willie James Probably Fatally Injured
by Elsie Smith,


From The Daily Item July IS.
Deputy Forbes and Rural Policeman
Newman this morning arrested and
lodged in Jail Elsie Smith, colored
charged with shooting and probably
fatally wounding Willie James, col
ored, at Brogdon this morning. James
was later brought to the Tourney Hos
pital and preparations were being
made for an operation to remove the
bullet in case such action would save
his life.
The shooting, according to reports
of the affair which were heard by the
officers, was the outcome of a quarrel
between the Smith woman and James
last night, in which he beat her and
threatened to kill her. She told the
officers that he slept with the pistol
under her head and she removed =
while he was asleep, shooting n
this morning as he started out of
house. The bullet entered the ba
and is thought to have penetrated
intestines.
