Hiss Blanche Moody Other Notes.
As previously noted in this corres
pondence, the prospects for next ses
sion at the Collegiate Institute are en
couraging. More rooms have been
reserved to date than usual. Two new
teachers have been added to the fac
ulty: Professors Stuart Brown and
Galvin U. Williams. Prof. Brown
will succeed Prof. W. B. Poreher who
relinquished his position in the In
stitute faculty to engage in other bus
iness. Mr. Brown will take the posi
tion of Commandant of Cadets and
professor of history. He is a graduate
of Charlotte Hall Military Academy,
Charlotte Hall, Va., and also of V. M.
I. which is styled the "West Point
of the South." Mr. Brown comes
highly recommended by these' two well
known institutions. llev possesses
many natural qualifications for suc
cessful work in the classroom. Mr.
Williams graduated from the Institute
in 1909 and was the successful prin
' cipal of Fork Academy, 'Stanly coun
ty, which he relinquishes to accept a
position in the Institute faculty.
Rev. J. P. Miller retains Ilia posi
tion with the Institute as teacher of
English Bible. His course has proven
to be a popular one, every member of
the three upper classes having taken
the 'work lasfyear. Prof. Miller uses
the Bible as a text and has worked
out an original course of study which
has proven very satisfactory.
Prof. D. B. Welsh, of the depar
ment of English and Principal G. F.
'McAllister have done considerable
preliminary work preparatory to the
active summer canvass. Prof. McAl
lister is now making a tour through
several of the northern states attend
ing educational meetings, and as soon
as he returns the active work in the
canvass will begin. Prof. Williams
will also assist actively in this work.
No abridgement will be made in the
work of the school. Tile regular five
years' course, preparing young men
for business, teaching or entrance to
the Junior class in the leading col
leges, will be continued. With the
moderate expenses for advantages of
fered, falling within the reach of the
poor boy who has a will, Kith its ideal
location, away from the extravagances
and 'excesses of owns and eities to
. which young men and boys fall a prey,
the Institute looks to greater useful
ness. The handsome catalogue ia just

Mr. Luther Fisher was right pain
fully wounded at the Mt. Pleasant
Lumber Company 's machine shop yes
terday morning. His hand was aoci
dentally caught in the shaper. It is

Rumor has it that a new mercantile
firm is soon to open business here,
succeeding one of the present busi
ness bouses.
Dr. G. D. Moose returned from
Charlotte yesterday morning where he
had accompanied Mr. Turner Walker
for an operation at the Preshytenan
Hospital.

"There will be the largest curtail

of Spartanburg, S. C when asked if
the mills of Spartanburg county would
join in the - cnrtailment - movement
that seems to be -sweeping the larfd.

BISHOPS WILL DISCUSS
- VANDEEBILT OWNERSHIP.
Appears Improbable that Charges
Will be Heard Against Bishop Hen
drix. The college of bishops af the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, will
in all probability meet iu Nashville on
July 10 or July 12. This statement is
made op the authority of BiahopE.
E. Hoss. Tbe call for the meeting
has not yet been issued and the bish
op does not know exactly that a meet
ing will he held at that time but he
regards it as so highly probable as to
be practically certain, says a Nash
ville dispatch of the 28th.
In the natural order of things, it
may be expected that when the college
of bishops meets, it will take up the
Vanderbilt university ownership con
troversy, or, more particularly, the
phase of it having to do with the re
fusal of the board of trust to seat the
three men elected to membership on
that board at the recent meeting of
the general conference in Asheville.
Bishop Hoss stated as a positive fact
in a recent interview, that suits will
be brought to enforce tbe rights of
the church, and the natural inference
would be. that the principal object of
the meeting will be to arrange for
the bringing of such suits. It will
probably be in the nature of a man
damus proceedings to compel the
board of trust to seat the, men elected
by the general conference, though no
direct statement to this effect has
come from any authoritative source.
Bishop Hoss this morning declined to
predict 'whether or not the college will
take up the Vanderbilt matter at the
meeting soon to be held1. "There are
13 bishops," he said, "and every one
of them has a bead and opinion of his
own. I could not presume to speak
for them. You know the conditions,
however, and can draw your own in
ferences." Bishop Hosg declared that he knows
nothing as to' the truth or untruth of
the statement originating from some
unknown source to tbe effect that the
college of bishops will hear charges
against Bishop Eugene R. Hendrix,
president of the Vanderbilt Board of
Trust, for his position taken in op
position to absolute control of the
university by the church. "I am as
innocent of it," said Bishop Hoss,
"as you are. Absolutely all that
I know about it 4s what I iv eeon in
some of the newspapers. The Ban
ner, of course, never says anything
that is not the truth, but other papers
miss the mark sometime." 1
Dr. H. M. DuBose, a close personal
friend of Bishop Hoss and one of his
strongest allies in the Vanderbilt fight,
said that, in his opinion, there is no
truth in the statement that Bishop
Hendrix 's character will be assailed
and charges heard by the college of
bishops. He regards the variance of
opinion between Bishop 'Hendrix and
some' other of the bishops, notably
Bishop Hoss, as different construction
of points of law and not as a matter
affecting t lie character of a bishop.
Moving Pictures in ' Church.
George M Lauders, manufacturer
and former 'Mayor of New Britain,
Conn,, baa donated a moving picture
machine to the South Congregational
Church, of that eity.
Rev. 1L A. Jump, the pastor, plans
to give illustrated sermons each Sun
day night. .He asserts that some in
ducement is necessary to get attend
ance at services in the summer, and
he proposes to give his auditors as
good an entertainment as they can
enjoy anywhere. .
It is reported that the theatre man
agers, 'who have been prevented by
the police from giving Sunday night
picture shows, will try to enjoin the
church's pictures unless permitted to
run their snows.

A SENSATIONAL ADDRESS.
CoL McLean Says Shaffer Bonds
Should Have Been Paid Without
Any Suit.
Col. N. A. McLean, of Lumberton,
ex-state senator and one of the leading
lawyers in eastern North Carolina,
made a somewhat sensational address
at the morning session of-the bar as
sociation, at Wrightsville Beach Wed
nesday on the subject of North Car
olina bonds, and dwelt at length upon
the action of North Carolina in re
pudiating bonds issued by the "carpet
bag" legislature. He took the posi
tion that the Shaffer bonds should1
have been paid without any suit and
by doing so the state could .have pos
sibly saved half the amount due.
As to other issues that were repu-
diated, he thought , where the bonds
were purchased before the purchasers
had any notice as to conditions under
which the'y were issued that the bonds
should he paid, as it 'was a debt of
honor and the holders in suck cases
were innocent pur. lasers for value.
As soon as Colonel McLean took his
seat, Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte,
a member of the legislature of 1901
when the bond subject was up, sprang
to his feet and made a reply defend
ing the course pursued by the state in
the matter and declared that those
who adjusted the matter right after
the war knew best what should be
done.

NO ORPHANAGE FOR JUNIORS.
Subordinate Councils Vote Against
Its Establishment in This (State.
Secretary S. F. Vance, of Winston
Salem, tf me State Council of the
Junior Oixler of the United American
Mechanics, has received the returns
from the subordinate councils of the
State on the proposition submitted by
the State Council at its annual meet
ing held in Greensboro last February
to appropriate $10,000 from the' State
Council treasury to buy a site upon
which to establish a Junior Order or
phanage in this State. The returns
received show that 209 subordinate
councils voted against the proposi
tion and 182 for it, a half dozen or
more subordinate councils not sending
in returns. However, 209 is a major
ity of the total number of subordinate
councils in the State and therefore
the proposition for an orphanage is
killed.
Secretary Vance has also received
tj h e returns from a sufficient number
of subordinate councils to show that
the proposition to change the time
for holding the annual meetings from
February to August is carried. The
majority in this change is quite
large. This proposition was also sub
mitted by the Stale Council at its last
annual meeting. The State Council
wil hold another annual meeting this
year, Wilmington being the place and
August the time.
Mr.

Heavily in Cotton..
Salisbury Post.
A Salisbury visitor, a close personal
friued of James VV. Wadeworth, who
committed suicide Tuesday afternoon,
said that the unfortunate man was un
doubtedly the victim of the cotton
market. This gentleman, although not
a resident of Charlotte, was one of
Mr. Wadsworth 's intimates and from
all but first band he had it that the
suicide had lst $90,000 in speculation
on cotton within the past few weeks
and ended his life in a spirit of des
peration, despite the fact that he eould
have commanded almost unlimited
financial assistance in Charlotte.
