C, November 22, I8a9- Fever Epidemic Closes State Normal School. The The State Normal and Indus trial College at Greensboro has closed until January 2, 1900. Owing to the fact that there have been three deaths and fifty -one cases within the last few weeks President Mclver thought it nest to suspend the school until necessary sanitary conditions could be made. Only a few of the cases have thus far proved to be typhoid fever . Miss Bell of Kuthe.r fordton, died from weakness of the heart aggravated by mala ria. The two others who died were Miss Deans, of Wilson, and Miss Daisv Caldwell, of Statesville. With the excep tions of only a few Dr. Mclver has the best wishes of the en tire school in closing it" until January, and making up the lost time at the end of the reg ular closing term, which will run the annual session into the latter part of June. In no manner are the students blam ing him for the present condi tion of the school. The State Board of Health has made a thorough examination of the buildings and grounds and proper provisions will be made at once and it is hoped that all the students will return at the next opening. Doubtless, vague reports will be circulated about the present misfortune of the school, but this should not hinder parents from sending - Post, of Suixtav, of the insrorv of the 12th North Carolina Reg iment the following paragraph appeared : "Among the company officers who died of disease the follow ing are remembered : Capt. W. H. Blount, Capt. S. S. Vick, Lieuts. W. F. Sherrell. J. J. Harden, and J.-W. Mayfield." Y. H. Blount referred' to is none other than the well known Henry Blount, who has a world wide reputation as a writer and lecturer, and who stands per haps higher in humor and elo quence than any other lecturer on the American stage to-day. We had the pleasure of hearing him lecture to the school at this place Monday night, and those who missed it have great cause to regret it. To sit beneath the drippings of such eloquence, mingled with sjarkling wit and humor, sadness and solemnity, is to get a higher ideal of life. It, is seldom our people ever have an opportunity of such rare treats as that of hearing such pleasing lectures as those delivered by Mr. Blount. Many people have the wrong concep tion of his lectures, they sup pose them dry and historical, but it is a great mistake, they are full of fun and humor and never fail to produce laughter. He has made this a study and has gathered some of the richest gems of other great orators and placed them with the jewels of his own mind to present to the world. We feel the lack of words to add one star to the crown of his success, but we do hope, that the American people may be raised te a higher stan dard .of life by hearing him and in the end may God place the star of happiness in his crown of everlasting glory.

Jou can be with us. I am most Monday, December 4th, and truly yours, Will Not Accept. The following paragraph ta ken from "lie Raleigh Post of last Sunday : "The Post announced some days ago that Hon. Dan Hugh McLean, the able represent ee of Harnett county, had been elected a director of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind In stitution in this citv. Mr Mc Lean would readilv serve the State wherever or whenever called, and serve it faithfully and well, tyut to accept this or any other "office" and these directorships have been : con strued to be offices would ne cessitate his resignation as a member of the House, a posi tion to which his fellow-coun- trvmeh called him, and this he is unwilling to do. He will therefore not accept the position now tendered. We are pleased to know this. Mr McLean is one of the most conservative members of the- House, as he is one of its ablest and most use tui ; and as it will meet next June to consider most impor tant matters, his high abilities and genuine old North Carolina courage and rhonesty will best serve the State in that body." Mr McLean is ever ready to give his service to the people of iSorth Carolina, and to serve them in the sphere in which he can do them the most good, and we are glad to know that he de clines to accept the above re ferred office, for in so doing the county of Harnett, and the peo ple of the State would lose one of the broadest thinkers and ablest men that graced the leg islature of 1899. He can serve us best as a law-maker, and our people are glad that he declines to become a director in the in stitution referred to above. 60,000.1.
