Technical Education At State Col

The Robesonian has received a very
neat little pamphlet entitled "Techni-
cal Education at State College," which
has just been issued from the regis
trars office in West Raleigh. It con-
tains pictures of all of the buildings,
with full explanations of the courses
and of the many advantages offered
there. This is a time when people
can better than ever understand and
appreciate the good points of educa-
lion in practical, everyday things.

LIEUTENANT HARRINGTON
HAS TO LEAVE SERVICE
After Undergoing Operations to Cure
Troubles, Physical Disabilities Dis
qualify Him For Selvice-Likely
To Return to Cambridge.

Lieut. Emerson c. Harrington, Jr.,
who was Lieutenant in Company
c, Cambridge's own company, and
who, despite an illness with chronic
appendicitis, went away with the
Company to Admission, has recently
received an honorable discharge from
the Army and will likely return to
private life, taking up the practice
of law in this city.
Lieut.. Harrington about the time
| of the outbreak of the war, enlisted
in Company c, and on account of his
military training at ST. Johns Col
lege, which is on the accredited list
of the War Department, was made
Second Lieutenant. He spent much
| time in camp with the men while they
were located on the Seminary
grounds, and was actively engaged
in drilling them. Later, after the
company had been in training at
Camp Mcclellan, Admission, Ala,
Lieut.. Harrington's trouble became
so acute that the medical officers at
the camp advised that he return to
Baltimore for an operation, which he
underwent with apparent success, but
in short time it developed that he
was not making the expected pro-
gress and it was found necessary to
perform a supplemental operation,
after which immediate improvement
was noted.
Upon his return to duty, which was
ton, on account of the slowness with
which his trouble yielded to treat
ment, owing to his not being entirely
we'll, he was transferred to the staff
of General William Wilson, at Spar
tansburg, S. c. Notwithstanding ev-
cry effort upon his part, including
examinations by leading specialists,
in the hope that he might continue in
the service, his condition becoming
worse, the Camp Surgeon decided
that it was unwise in him to attempt
to remain longer in the service. and
gave him an honorable discharge.
Before entering the army, Lieut..
Harrington held a position as clerk
in the office of the State Treasurer
at Annapolis. 1t is understood that
his plans are not finally settled at
this time, but it is likely that he will
return to Cambridge and engage in
cessfully taken the State bar exami
nations since living at Annapolis.

ours, for instance, they are just cut

old-fashioned, as l have seen them
cutting wheat with a scythe and era

FInieky Elephant.

An elephant, in his native land, has hard job to find what he likes to eat Contrary to the general belief, he will not eat anything. but he selects care fully the best of roots, herbs, fruits and various vegetables. When in cap- tivity, he eats about the same kind of fodder, with a few exceptions, includ- Ing pastry, bread, nuts (chiehy pea nuts) and some other goodies which may be offered to him. Elephants eat no kind of meat whatsoever; they will only eat pure grown food or clean bread or pastry.

 There is not much to write about around here as every day is about the same to me, and l do not get to see many exciting events. All that 1 know about the war is what I see in the pa pers, and of course you see the same, but I don't think that it will be so many months until we are headed towards the good old United States.

A SOLDIER BOYS LETTER.
A BIackton Boy Writes Home
 From France.

A. P. o. No. 921, France, Oct. r, 1918.
 Dear Mother and Father:
 Still I haven't heard from you and I thought I had better keep writing you at least once a week so that you would know that l am getting along o. K. It of course worries me not to hear from you, but if 1 knew that you were getting my letters regularly l would be satisfied.
 I received a letter from Etta Perry the other day and she said that you were both getting along 0. K, and would have gone to see you but did not have time then.
 We have been having some pretty rainy weather lately, but it hasn't been so very cold, al though I expect that it will be cold enough to use our over coats before you receive this letter. 1 am still staying at the French house that wrote you about the other time, and sure will be glad if I can stay there all the winter, as 1 have a very nice room with fire, and a grand old French feather bed, which is about four feet high. The madam insists that she shall build me fire every night and morning and heat irons for my feet at night, but 1 keep telling her that it will not be cold enough until January. 1 had a cold the other week and she made some hot wine for me and it sure did me good. She thinks that there is nothing like me and the fellow that rooms with me, and says that we are very good boys.
 I thought sure that we would be able to come home in about two or three months the other day when they were talking so much about making peace, but I sure do think that our presi- dent has put it up to them so that they can do nothing else but lay down their guns and pay the price for their four years of barbarous warfare.
 We see a great many prison CTS passing thro and they sure have the right name when they are called "blockheads.'
 I have charge of a supply warehouse and there are about 15 boys working with me, and also four negroes one of whom is from Clarendon; Pitt will know him, as his name is 'Dody'
