NEW SCIENCE
Lived on Skim Milk
For six weeks ending yesterday
Judge R. R.. Little has lived exclu
sively on skim milk. Not a drop
of water nor an ounce of any other
food passed his lips during that
time. The treatment was' pre
scribed by the late Dr. S. Y.
Thompson of Danville, and Judge
Little has improved under it. He
has been on the streets almost
daily, and has gained slightly in
flesh. It is hoped that his improv
raent may be permanent, and that
he will soon be able to resume his
duties upon the bench.
To Ee Built at the Normal
Will be One of the Finest
of the Group
To Cost About $50,000
At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Normal School held
last Friday evening the plans of the
new science building were exhib
ited by Architect OKU of Wilkes
B.irre. The building will be of red
brick with terra cotta trimmings.
It will contain four floors. In the
basement will be twelve music
rooms, two coat rooms, closets, an
aquarium, a vivarium and a lecture
room with stage.
The first floor will contain a
medical laboratory, zoological and
physical laboratory, botanical and
geological laboratory, a store room
and a lecture room.
The second floor will c ntain a
physical laboratory, chemical lab
ortory, geograptiy rooms and an
art room.
The third floor will be fitted up
with two large rooms for the use of
the Philologian and Calhepian Lit
erary Societies, respectively.
The building will stand at the
euci of the old athletic ground,
nearest the Light-street road. It
will be complete in every detail and
will be one ot the finest buildings
on the hill. ,
COMPULSORY VA0UINAT10N.
Much dissatisfaction has been
stirred up through the county by
the enforcement of the compulsory
vaccination law. Dr. S. B. Ar-
ment, the representative of the state
department of health, has been vis
iting the schools in the county, to
ascertain to what extent the law
is being observed.
This law may be an oppressive
one, but it is the law of the state
and its enforcement, if a hardship,
is the fault of the law itself, and
not the fault of those who are com
pelled to enforce it. Dr. Arment
lias bis instructions from the state
department, and he must obey those
orders or turn the job over to some
one who will do so.
The law requires all teachers to
refuse admission to schools of any
pupil except upon the certificate of
a physician that the cniia has been
successfully vaccinated, or that it
has had small-pox. A penalty of
not less than five dollars, nor more
than one hundred, :i.ay be imposed
for violation of this law. The teach
er is placed in a very unpleasant
position. If he does not send the
children home he will be prosecuted
by the state board of health, and if
he does send them home he arouses
the wrath of the parents of the dis
tiict. It is an unfortunate situat
ion, but so long as it is the law it
must be obeyed, and those who are
obliged to enforce it ought not to
be censured for doing what the law
compels them to do. The only
remedy is to secure some modifica
tions of the law at the next session
of the legislature in 1907. Until(
then nothing can be gained by re
fusal to comply.

COLLEGE FOR
FARM BOYS
Grangers Think Present
Institutions Too High
Toned
More Adequate Education
The National Grange in session
at Atlantic City, by resolution, took
a decided stand upon the question
of immigration. It urges that
Congress be asked to consider
whether a modification of existing
exclusion laws would operate to
relieve the present extreme scarcity
of farm and domestic labor. The
delegates also made a part of the
record their approval of the re
moval of the tax on alcohol to be
used for other pui poses than as a
beverage; to enforce more stringent
ly the laws against oleomargarine;
to have theState and National Gov
ernments instruct labor commissions
to direct immigrants to the farm
lands to avoid congestion in the
cities; favoring legislation protect
ing timber lands and the reforesta
tion of all cut-over lands, and sug
gesting a removal of part or whole
of the tiriff on logs and timber.
Colleges which are not aristocrat
ic and exclusive, where farmers'
sons may learn the practical
things in agriculture, are demand
ed by the grange. The indirect
indictment of the insufficiency of
the present institutions of learning
was embodied in the recommenda
tions cf the Educational Committee.
The grange advocates agricultural
colleges, the creation of country
schools of agriculture similar to
those which are in successful opera
tion in Wisconsin and elsewhere,
and the introduction of instruction
in agriculture by correspondence
It also believed in consolidating
country schools and the use of
teams to take children to the school
and home again, a plan that is ex
tending through the West.
From Kentucky came a vigorous
deunciation of the American saloon
in a resolution presented by F. P.
Wolcott, the head of the State or
ganization, which declared that
"the grange hereby renews its feal
ty to temperance in all things, and
that the degrading American saloon
ought to be carefully and rigorous
ly guarded until it can be abolished
and in the meantime be made and
held to its strict responsibility for
the harm it does, and that it be
lieves that every community should
be empowered by law to vote every
saloon from its midst." Just what
his neighbors will say, as the reso
lution would affect one of the im
portant industries of his State, does
not bother Mr. Wolcott.
Recognizing President Roose
velt's vigorous prosecutions of the
land-grafters in Washington State,
the delegate from that Common
wealth reported that the fanners of
his State "heartily approve of the
President's campaign against fraud
and graft in th various Govern
mental departments and especially
give him their moral support and
commendation in his investigations
in laud thelt and to the frauds in
the Department of Agriculture."
A new attack on lite insurance
companies came from Missouri, C.
U. Kaiue iaineriug me resolution
which savs; "That the National
Grange Condemns and brands as
criminal any attempt to influence
legislation or the control of the vote
of legislators by the use of money;
that all officers or others who use
the fund of insurance companies
for personal gain are embezzlers

TRINITY COLLEGE
Rev. Dr. William W. Webb,
President of Nashotah College,
Wisconsin, has been elected Bishop
Coadjutor of the Diocese of Mil
waukee by the Episcopal Conven
tion. He is a graduate of Trinity
College, Hartford.
This institution has supplied
more Bishops to the Episcopal
church than any other one college
in the country. Those now living
are Bislfop Niles of New Hamp
shire; Bishop Nichols of Calilornia;
Bishop Cheshire of Georgia; Bishop
Barnwell of South Carolina; Bishop
Nelson, coadjutor of the Diocese
of Albany; Bishop Mackay-Smith,
coadjutor of the Diocese of Penn
sylvania and others. Other Trinity
men who have been elected to the
bishopric in different dioceses and
declined, are' Rev. Dr. Morgan of
New Haven; Rev. Dr. Fiske of
Providence, Rhode Island: Rev.
Dr. Hart of Middletown, Conn.;
Rev. Dr. Williams of Augusta,
Georgia.
Many other graduates of this
college have become distinguished
in various walks ot life, as judges,
lawyers, physicians, business men,
architects, civil engineers, etc.
There was prevalent at one time
an understanding that Trinity Col
lege was a sort of preparatory
school for the Episcopal ministry,
but this idea has been entirely dis
pelled. The numerous courses
there have no more to do with a
special theological training than
any of the secular institutions of
the country. Trinity does seek to
produce christian gentlemen, and
its lists of students includes repre
sentatives of nearly every religicus
denomination.
Beautifully situated in a beauti
ful city, under the presidency of
J Rev. pr. F. S. Luther the attend
ance is rapidly increasing, ana a
large number of the states have
representatives among the students.
The Freshman class this year num
bers seventy and twenty-five more
failed to pass the examination for
admission. A much larger class
is expected next year.
If there are any young men in
this vicinity who contemplate
going to college next year, the ed
itor of this paper will be pleased to
give them any desired information
concerning Trinity College.
