K|TTRELL COLLEGE
RESUMES SESSION
w. j. Cochrane Is President
of Institution, Which Is
Being Revived

After being imperative for some
three years, Kittrell College for Negro
students at Kittrell resumed opera
tons a few days ago as efforts were
begun to restore the institution to it's
former place of prestige among Negro
educational institutions of the State
Enrolment is very small as compar-
ed with what it was in the flourishing
days of the college, and one report
was that the opening day figure was
something just under so.
In other days the attendance has
been as high as 300 or 400.
The institution is owned by Negro
Methodist conferences in North Caro-
lina Virginia, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t has in times
past been the recipient of generous
benefactions from B. N. Duke before
|>his death.
It ran into administrative troubles
some five or six years ago, and be
gan to lose in enrolment. Financial
difficulties came later and the col
lege was forced to close. More recent
ly, however, all debt has been paid anC
the institution starts with a clear
sheet. The problem it faces now is tt
restore itself in the condolences o.
the Negro public and to bring stu
dents in. The church is backing thu
college and leaders are throwing theil
influence into the fight to restore the
school to its former high place.

UNDERPASS SIGNALS
UNCERTAIN AS YET

The matter of traffic controls and
signals for the approaches to the
Church-Charles street underpass ap-
peared to be something of an uncer-
tainty today. Mayor Henry T. Powell
did not know, he said, the exact status
of the order that had or had not been
given, but said he would find out by
the end of the present week. He said
the traffic signals would be erected,
and gave assurances that the matter
would receive immediate attention, to
the end that more protection could be
afforded to motorists using this short
cut thoroughfare from one side of the
city to the other under the main line
of the Seaboard Air Line railroad.

at the parent-teacher association
meeting Wednesday afternoon, high
school students were notified today
that they will have a longer MONDAY
lunch hour, starting next Monday
Prof. w. D. Payne, principal of the
high school, said it could Ice said de-
finitely now that the period would be
heightened to not less than As min
utes, and intimated that it might be
a trifle longer.

cept by shortening study periods OF
holding longer hours at the school
The school day already is seven and
a half hours, from $3.50 a. m. to 4 p.
m.
A general discussion of the lunch
hour was had at the meeting of the
parent-teacher group Wednesday. Al
most as many opinions about varied
proposals and views were expressed
as there were speakers. And the out
come of the entire matter was to re-
fer the problem to Prof Payne again,
and Superintendent Rollins and the
CITY school board.
In a statement in the Dispatch
Wednesday, Prof. Payne said there
only four ways to lengthen the lunch
period, namely, get more teachers,
omit the "activity'f period, extend
the school day to 4:30 p. M, or defy
State regulations by shortening the
class periods He said DR.. j. Henry

COTTON IS ALREADY
BEING BROUGHT IN
Gins Running at Times On
First Offerings of 1887
Pickings

Scattered offerings of seed cotton
are being brought to the Rose and
Cooper cotton gins in Henderson and
some sizeable sales have been made
for this early in the season.
Picking of the new crop is getting
under way throughout those sections
of the county that raise cotton, most
ly in the eastern and southern sec
tiOns.
The gins are not running full time
as yet, as offerings of cotton have
not been in sufficient quantity to
permit of that.
It is estimated that last years vol
ume of cotton sold on the Henderson
market by growers was in excess of
10000 bales. Since the crop is larger
this season, sales are expected to be
considerably in excess of that figure.

HOME PAINTING

IT HE last few years have seen
L great changes in paints, and
particularly in enamel and varnish.
Formerly, enamel and varnish re-
quired many hours, and even sew.
eral days. for drying. Now they
dry hard in four hours or so. More
than this, they are harder and far
more resistant to heat, moisture,
and chipping than the older types.
Paints of many kinds are also quick
drying. There is, of course, very
great advantage in this. Ten years
ago repainting might put a room
out Of commission for a week: to-
day, walls and woodwork can be
completely refinished between
breakfast and dinnNrtime.
These quick drying finishes are
so easily applied that they are COM
ing into very common use. For ex-
ample, take the refnishing of set
of kitchen furniture. The first step
is washing with soapsud containing
little ammonia or washing soda
to take off all traces of grease, fol-
lowed by rinsing with clear water.
When the furniture has dried, any
glossiness Of the old finish should be
dulled by rubbing with sandpaper.
This will also smooth the edges Of

Clipped places and of cracks. One
coat of enamel is usually all that is
needed for complete refinishing. to
be followed, if needed, by touches
of a contrasting color when the first
coat is thoroughly dry.
In painting chairs. they should be
turned upside down, and the legs
finished first, the under parts of a
table are also finished more easily
when the table is turned upside
down.
For a good job, the mixture in the
can should be thoroughly blended
before using. With small stick or
a putty knife. the solid mass that
has settled to the bottom of the can
should be stirred into the liquid. so
that the whole comes to an even
consistency. think that more
troubles with painting come from
improper mixing than from almost
anything else. The floor should be
covered with newspapers to catch
spatters. The enamel or other finish
should be brushed out with few
quick strokes to spread it evenly,
and to prevent the forming of
runs" and of drops.
When work is interrupted for
few hours or overnight, the can
should be tightly closed to prevent
the contents from drying and the
formation OF a skin on top. The
brush should be wiped off. rinsed in
turpentine, wiped again and
wrapped in waxed paper. Other
wise it will harden.

TWO-FOOTED
MEN
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

Wo-FISTED men have gone
L their way,
Unwanted in this softer day.
But what I'd like to see again
AT least is some two-footed men.
For many men l come across
Have one foot that's total loss.
For many men each day I've seen
Who stand upon one foot and lean.
Some seek to lean upon a "class"
To bring equality" to pass,
Some lean upon the promises
OF Townsend talking through his
fez,
Some lean upon the President,
Some lean upon the government,
Although they own the whole ma.
chine
And tax one foot so one can lean.
Yet all the men who have pulled
through
Stood not on aone foot but on two.
Not one success ever saw
Leaned on some bureau or some
law.
That's why l claim we need again
A nation of two-footed men.
CHATS not the worst that / have
seen:
For some, alas, sit down and lean.)

THERE are a surprising number
L of people in this world who have
far better than average mental
equipment and yet have difficulty in
getting anywhere simply because
they haven't the concentration es-
sential to completed accomplish
ment.
Such individuals, unfortunately,
are always conceiving really bril-
liant ideas which are practical in
every way. But, somehow or other,
they are able to carry them just so
far and no farther. Indications of
this deficiency are always found in
the fourth finger and its telltale
characteristics.
