Letter from Capl. Llutfoerry. . j , Editor Courier : At the lvquest of niiny of the veterans, and feeliuij it my duty, I wish epace in your paper to retuin'thanks to the ladies of Ashebojo aud the Daughter of the Coi federacy for.thd kindness shown ns, tfie splendid ntettainiuettt; unxr tlie maguitic-eut dinner given ua at our rtuuiori Jlay tentn, Every one was so laud ia praise of the entei t.iiuuitnt chat I cjuclude it was Die bt-tt we ever had. There aie no trutr and better wo men ou Gud's green earth tuun tbe ladies of Asheboro, itud they show it by tue wuy m which they are. la b. ring to raise iundsto build a mob uiueni, in honor of our dead heroes. Tney hav3 worked faithfully, and zealously, and I hope they may soon realiza tne fruus ot tlieir labor, wish the country girls could' 6t duced to join their organization, as they could reach many in soliciting 3ubscriptions that our present Daughters cannot see. Now let me say a word, to my comrades. We made it possible to hold at bay the amy of the United States backed by the whole world for four long years. Then when we returned home (not conquered) but overpowered, we found our sountry filled with bine coats, and a few un worthy men had organized the Red Strings, and were holding meetings and passing resolutions to confiscate the property ef all who took part ia the war, giving it to the negroes, and inciting them to lawless acts. When it was not safe for our women to travel the roads we organized the white man s brotherhood, the Ka Klux Klan, and made it safe for our women and possible to establish a white man s government. . Men who can accomplish such acts can do more. We can help the Daughters place a monument at our court house in honor of our heroes, So let us go to go to work and every veteran solicit subscriptions from his friends. Some say that we are opposed to robbing the living to clothe the dead, so am 1, but let us help our good women to build this monnment and then we will see if we can get our next legislature to pen. sicn all the veterans. 1 may. say something more on t bat line later.

Halleyrs comet, the celestial won der, which has teen the subject of a great deal of discussion recently, at tained its point nearest the sun on April 20tb. It was due to pars over the sun's disk last night between 7 p. m, and 1 a, m., at which time the earth passed through the tail of tbe comet. This transit was not plainly visible in America except on the Pa cific coast It is estimated that the comet will be at its brightest between the 18th and 31st of May. ' Its flight from the earth Will be rapid and it will pass beyond the vision , of the naked eye about July 1st, bnt mat be seen through telescopes nearly all the year. According to intelligent astronomers, the comet will have no marked effect on the erth nor its inhabitants, though many negroes throughout the country nave suffer ed from the fear that the earth would be snuffed out of existence. The colored churches have been holding revivals, and hardly ever be fore did they have such an ingath ering of members. In fact, the darkeys seem to be seized with a sud den impulse to be good. The comet has been seen by dif ferent early risers in Asheboro du ring the past week. It is described as having been visible several mo n. tngtr; in the eawj -betweea 3- and .'4 o'clock. The tail has looked . to be as long or longer than a telegraph pole and slanted toward the south west.

Schools Closed Reports of Attendance .-Honor RollEtc ' The three public high schools of the county have olosed. These three institutions are perhaps . the moat important feature of the public school system of the co mty. This is the first year when there baa been an organized effort to give high school instrnction at public expense. Those who are familiar with the system and the work done will teadily agree that the high school work this year has been a great sac-. cess. Very few other counties can boast of three better high schools than are to be fonnd at Trinity, Lib erty and Farmer. There are those people in Ran. dolph county who sometimes doubt the propriety and the practical wis dom of spending money for high school instruction. With such peo ple it is not our intention to eater into controversy. It is well enongh for . us to consider, however, that these high schools are being estab lished elsewhere all over the state, and not only in North Carolina but all over the South and into the far West, and indeed everywhere the school's interests are being cared for. The high school movement is the most importantjprobleflx no w, before , . our people. It shoula be remember ed too that no state has ever devel oped a system of common schools of much value until the high schools have been developed. The ideal in any state is for the great head of the school system to be the university and reach down from the university through the high schools ti the ele- n.onto.n Reports from High Schools. v-i'The Farmer and Liberty High Schools ec,h ran. just eight mouths. week of being eight montns long. Iu each case the elementiry school ran an equal length of time. The tot.il enrollment for the high school uepariments xor tne tnree scnoois was 113. Of this number 50 stu dents were enrolled at Tiinity; 37 at Farmer; and 2(i at Liberty. In ad dition to this enrollment in the high school grades there were enrolled 231 students in the elementary e-rades of these schools. . Theenroll- mentin the Libmty High School ( elemc-ntary grade) reached 149 in Trinity an even 100; and at Far mer 82. ' This makes a total enroll ment of high school students and elementary school students of 344. Of the total 113 tigh school students 32 were enrolled from outside the loal district; thus refuting the argu ment of some parties who claim that high schools will not be patronized by people who live outside the local community. As the work glows and develops and the high schools become better known this enroll ment will be doubled and even trebled. The enrollment should be doubled next year. Honor Roll ot Farmer High School. Only one honor roll was reported for the last month. In this case Mr. Bradshaw of the Farmer High School reports two students whose names appear on the High Honor Roll Mable Stuart and Ethel Kearns. On the Honor Roll proper appear the following names: Lumle lieirns, Leata Kearns, Edith Spencer, Lula Spencer, Ruby Fuller. Juanita Kearns, Lnna Kearns, Dorothy Hubbard, Elbert ivearns, Ulaude JJirkhead, Adrian Birkhead. Hope Hnbbard, Kate Dor sett, Rosa Barnes and Conrad Hor- ney. . Prof. Bradshaw has been re-elected for next year, at an increased salary. reopie who know tne conditions at Farmer say that he has had the best school in the history of the place. No doubt his good work will continue another year. During the summer a school will be conducted for pupils who desire to even np their courses for graduation next year. Dr. Kllgo a Bishop. -Dr. J. C, Kilgo, president of Trinity College, Durham, was elect ed a bishop on tbe first ballot by the General Conference of the M. E. church at Asheville, May 16.

Lam- betb, of Tennessee; E. D, Monzan, of Texas; R. G. Waterbouse, of Vir ginia; and J, H. McKoy, of Alaba ma; were elected bishops, ,
