MEENG PLaE WILMINGTON MEETIN1G COMES TO COLSE AND DELEGATES LEAVE FOR HOME ro PRESElE LEES CHAPEL Great Soldier Devoted Remainder of Life to Teaching Young Men the Ways of Peace. Wilmington, N. C.-Greensboro was selected for the closing session of the silver anniversary convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy ere as the place for the 1923 meeting. Mrs. R. P. Holt, of Rocky Mount. Il lead the activities of the divis n for the coming year, having been cted president after a warm con t between supporters of her and Mrs. Jamqs M. Gudger, Jr., of heville. Te latter's supporters, ever, paid her tribute afterwards the presentation of a wreath by Asheville chapter and a corsage he Waynesville chapter. e daughters agreed to raise a ion of the funds necessary to fireproof and to preserve the chapel at Washington and Lee rsity, where General Lee wor d while president of the insti feature of the closing session address by Dr. Henry Louis president of Washington and university. In speaking of the ducational work done at the old "Washington College" by Gen. Robert E. Lee, Dr. Smith said that it is going to count for more than all the glorious military career of the Confederate chieftain and hero. By this education work, he said, General Lee taught ev eryone of the great Southland self-re nunciation at the call of duty. When General Lee returned to his home after the war he was without a brofession; practically in a destitute state, said Dr. Smith. However, the speaker deelared, immediately there was an outpouring of sympathy from all over the world. The nobility of England offered General Lee the old Lee homestead for the rest of his life without cost, but this offer, as was the commandership of the armies of Egypt offered by the Khedive of Egypt, was turned down. At Washington college, said Dr. Smith, the educational activities of the great fighter reads like a fairy -tale. New departments were created, the studies were made more practi cable, and everything possible was done by General Lee to teach the young men of the South to live the life of peace. This work went on until the great chieftain was stricken down in his home. Two Ship Lines Got injunction. New York.-Federal Judge Learned Hand issued a temporary injunction restraining federal prohibition agents from molesting liquor on board the vessels of the British owned White Star line and the American owned United American line. The temporary stays will be heard along with the similar case filed by the International Mercantile Marine and the order requiring federal en forcement agents to show cause why they should not be restrained from molesting liquor on the 24 vessels of the Cunard and Anchor lines. The U'iited American line, which was represented by George Adams lius, was required to furnish a bond guarantee that liquor on board the eamship Resolute, leaving New York would not be sold or consumed until the vessel arrived at Hamburg. The bond was double the value of the liquor. Mr. Ellis said he took this ao tion in order to get the matter before the United States supreme court and also to get the liquor on the Resolute into a foreign port, to remain there until a supreme court decision finally 'es the validity of the Daugherty sion. America Makes No More Loans. Washington.-It is stated at the treasury department that the United tates will make no further loans to y country of Europe. Likewise it1 s intimated that an e'ffort will be ade to discourage any individual or rmin the United States from making rivate loans to any country of Eu rope.. This attitude of the United States is said to be due to its determination to collect as soon as possible the enor mous debt of $11,000,000,000 owed the United States by the countries of Eu rope. It is indicated that treasury of ficlals have concluded that European countries will not economize unless they are forced to economize. Traveiing Men Meet.

Our country calls, nay the voice of reason cries aloud to us to promote knowledge as the firmest cement of a state, and conscience in sists that it is our indispensible duty to instruct the ignorant in the princi ples of Christianity." Within two years from the forma tion of the Society many new mem bers were admitted in Charleston, it was therefore, decided to hold the meetings of the society in that city. This continued to be the practice un til 1825, since which time the meet ings have been held in Winnsboro. The school was broken up when Cornwallis occupied Winnsboro in 1780-1781. In 1784, Rev. T. H. McCaule, of Salisbury, N. C., was invited to take charge of the school. He recommend ed that it be erected into a college, after the plan of the New Jersey col lege at which he had graduated. A charter for such a college was obtain ed in 1785; at the same time a sim ilar charter was granted to a col lege at Ninety-Six and at Charles ton. At that time the buildings con sisted of two one and a 'half story log cabins, about thirty feet apart and connected by a frame structure of same height, the upper half story be ing occupied by boarders. The blast of a horn at daybreak was the sig nal for the Students to rise and dress; at sunrise they attended roll call and prayer; at eight o'clock they went to breakfast; from, nine to twelve and from two to five the time was oc cupied with studies and recitations. In 1787 he foundations were laid for a large brick building, 44X54 feet, and two ste%4es high. It was not completed for some years. Rows of cabins were built on the north and south sides of the campus for the ac comodation of boarders. Afterwards during the Administra tion of J. W. Hudson under whom froni 1834 to 1858, the institution ac quired a reputation coextensive with the limits of the Southern States, the building was greatly enlarged. First a three story brick building was add ed to the rear and then similar ad ditions were made to the north and S GARAGE .

In 1878 a public graded school was established, by consent of the Mt. Zion Society, under the able man agement of Mr. R. Means Davis. This has been continued until the present time. In 1885, just one hundred years from the granting of the original charter, it was determined, if possible, to revive the collegiate feature of the Institute, and in connection with the graded school, to furnish to the youth of our county the opportunity of obtaining a complete, practical ed ucation at home, at a minimum cost. After various plans had been discuss sed and abandoned, a joint meeting of the Mount Zion Society and the citizens of the town was held, at which it was determined to issue bonds of the town to the amount of $7,500 for the purpose of erecting such additional buildings as were needed. Accordingly on the 25th day of March, 1886, ground was broken for the foundation of a large and well arranged brick building. This con Itained eight large, well lighted and ventilated school rooms, furnished throughout with improved seats, desks, and all necessary apparatus. Under the management of the able and efficient corps of teachers now employe'd, the number of pupils was largely increased during the past year, thus encouraging the hope that the Institute will soon be again, as in olden time, a credit to our town and blessing to our whqle communi ty.
