Governor Cooper said: "There is an
other reason'A-hy we are happy to wel
Comt e you home. Now that you are
back you will find great issues con
fronting you within yotur states and
your nation. Because of your demon
stated character I feel justifled in
making this nppeal, that. you attack
niuarcly thC prol ems that arise foi
lowing the declaration of peace and
during the tiie of reconstruction. The
nation soon will be back to normal
conditions but normal does not inean
conditions as they existed before the
war. You will write a new declaratton
of independence. You will face a new
war of righteousness against greed,
of justice against oppression. The
challenge comes today to face a new
enemy, which may seek to underinine
tle government for which you fought
so valiantly. The men of tile Thirtileth
division 'will see that their battles in
France have' not been In vain."
Governor Cooper Scored Bolshevism
and othler sinister organizations aimed
at the very foundation of our dem

of education that will be one of the
greatest for solution in the near fu

POET.,WAS ERRATIC GENIUS
Thomac Chatterton Did Marvelous
Work Before His Suicide at the
Age of Eighteen.
That narvelous boy poet, Thomas
Ciatterton, a youth with wonderful
attanments but w'hose genius was er
ratic, died before he was 18 years old,
on Aug. 25, 3770, by taking arsenic
"in anticipation of a slower death by
sta-rvatilon."

them possess that beality of iiaglin

poets, its well as tosetIi and Villiani

During the last few mionths of his
life he worked with it hundred hands
