THE COLORED RURAL SCHOOL.

One of the most progressive COM
munities in the State is Flat Rock.
1t is three miles east of Henderson
vile on the Southern Railway, on the
very summit of the 'Blue Ridge"
Our people in this eommuntty are
above the average in intelligence and
moral worth. They are self-respect-
ing, law abiding people There are
thirty-six families of color in Flat
Rock, all own homes that would do
credit to any community. Many of
these homes are homes of culture and
refinement As an evidence of the
progressive spirit of the coIored peo-
pie of Flat Rock I submit the follow
ing statistics: Last year these people
raised 5000 pounds of meat, 662 bsh-
els of corn. 800 bushels of potatoes,
5000 cans of fruits and vegetables.
The canning establishment is owned
by H. S. Simmons. Our people in this
immediate section own 455 acres of
land. They are very much interested
in education and are friendly towards
every good cause.
The public school has been in ses-
sion but a few weeks. In that time
We have raised enough money to pur-
chase a library. shades and curtains
for the rooms. We had 36 articles on
exhibition at the eolored fair at Ashe-
vine last week all Of which were hand
made. None of the exhibits surpassed
those of our girls club of which Miss

Rev. ID. l.. McShane, professor at
the College of the Catholic Foreign
Mission Society of America, is a
visitor at Holy Name RectOry. He
is down South for a rest. The So
ciety to which he belongs is the first
of its kind in America. So far all
the foreign missionary societies in
the Catholic Church have originated
in Europe, and the Maryknod insti-
ton of Ossing, y. Y, has the distinc-
tion of the pioneer in America in
this noble work. The foreign field
has not been finally decided upon, bur
from all appearances China seems TO
be the country that will receive the
first American-prepared Catholic
missionaries. Although established
only since 1912 the society has al

WANTS ALL FACTS AS TO NEW
ORLEANS AS NAVAL STA
TTON

Rear Admiral James NJ. Helm is
anxious to receive all facts which
have a bearing on the value of New
Orleans as point for the location of
a more important navy yard. Ad-
miral Helm is the head of the COM
mission appointed by Congress, Au-
gust 29, to investigate The neces-
sity, desirability and advisability of
establishing an additional navy yard
or naval station on the Atlantic coast
south of Cape Hatteras or on or near
the United States coast of the Gulf
of Mexico, or in the Caribbean sea,
and of establishing submarine and
aviation bases on the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico"
Admiral Helm is particularly anx-
ious to obtain information in regard
to the value of New Orleans and the
lower Mississippi as a submarine
base. He has heard that the lower
river offers particular advantages
for the operation of underwater
craft in case it should be necessary
to operate against an enemy feet in
the gulf. He also is anxious to know
the exact facts in regard to the sup
ply of skilled labor in New Orleans
territory.
Among other things which the
commission will investigate is the
matter of transportation facilities. 1t
wishes to have statistics showing the
railroad facilities of the port of New
Orleans. The facility with which
fuel oil and coal can be placed at
shipside at New Orleans is another
point which the commission would
have reduced to exact figures.
The commission has made no ar
rangements for personal inspection
OF any of the existing stations or
proposed sites for new yards. 1t is
the intention to compile, in Wash
ington, all possible information be-
fore making a tour of the coasts in
which the board is interested.
A long list of questions has been
sent to the commandant of the New
Orleans navy yard. 1t is anticipated
facilities at the command of this of.
ficial are not sufficient to permit OF
exhaustive replies to all the questions
asked. For this reason Admira
Helm said to-day he is very anxious
to obtain information from all avail
able sources.
