If you looked around you would see velocipedes, agons, game boards, roller coasters that are the most fun, horses and wagons, horns, falking machines, tricycles, Wonder blocks, rattles for baby, and almost everything that you would ink Santa would want you to have. There are baby dolls that are pretty, and baby dolls that are the nice ugly-face-kind every kind of baby doll you could wish for. There are ailroads that run on tracks, and go into sidings, and have crossings, and switches, and that un fast. Erector sets, with real motors that work; Noah's Ark with animals; rabbits, cats, flpthat don't bite, although some of them look as though they want to, but are too nice to iit; Mnks for saving up the pennies, and nickels, Everything voir can possibly think of here, and the big opening is set for Thursday morning. hi AY re th t r r do is Santa Claus '.Headquarters Opens Thursday Morning.

BLAIR'S REPORT Over 4,000 Children Were Enrolled In City Schools During- Month of October. Complaint la Wired To Federal Gov ernment At Washington. The Newsand Courier of yesterday carries the following story from Flor ence lit regard to the strike of Atlan tic Coast Line clerks. Locally there are no new developments. "The. strike of the clerks of the At lantic Coast Line at this place. is calling,-forth -no little comment and causing trouble on the par tof the mercantile and other interests of Florence and vicinity." Today, the following tele gram was sent to the Department of Labor at Washington by -the business men df Florence: ' TVi nnnt. something- b . done to end the strike of the Atlantic Coast Line clerks?. This strike is seriodsly af fecting our' business by causing much delay in receiving and forwarding freight. If not settled t soon ;Jwe fear it will delay holiday goods to the ex tent . that we will be unable -to -use them this year, whichwill cause great oss to us. 'We not "taking sides, do not say which side is '-wrong, but we do say that the business men and shippers are real sufferers, and that no matter which side is right, or which is wrong,, lt should be settled, and set tled quick. "Will you noi take some action that will bring that about? "This telegram' is signed by about thirty of Florence's merchants and business men, and calls for some prompt action on the part of the De partment of Labor.? . Belle of the Sixties. Kinston, Nov ".14, Durarit Roberts, "73-out" and colored, recognised Police Sergt. K. F. Foscue on a street here yesterday a,l though he had not seen hifn in nearly 35 years. Roberts knew the officer instantly. He was owned by the policeman's father before the war be tween the states, and nursed Foscue In his infancy, rhe polite old fellow de clared his name was no Indication of the real caste that attaches to his per son. "AH on us was Fescues," he Said. He refugeed from Jones county to -Hillsboro with th" family during the. war, was emancipated there, and then his "first bad luck" came. . Over 4,000 children were enrolled in the public schools of Wilmington for the first month of the scholastic year, according to the report of Supt. John J. Blair, of the city schools, which was read before the board of. education yesterday. The report in full fol lows: ;. " ' ; " "' " "To the Board of Education and- School Committeemen, :'" "City of Wilmington. ; "Gentlemen: "I take pleasure in presenting my report for, the first month -of the cur rent school year, which includes a" sta tistical summary of the enrollment, at tendance and certain other information which is. deemed to be of importance. - "The. to tax number of persons em ployed . this year includes . teachers white 87, teachers colored . 32. Total, 119. . Janitors and assistants," 12. Mak ing a grand total of 131. , ' . - ' "You will note from the statistical report, a copy of which is ' submitted upon separate sheet, that the enroll ment of the white schools has reached a total of 2,939, and for the three col ored schools a total of 1380'; that the average daily attendance for the white schools has reached a total of 2724.5, and the colored 1177. "Before, the schools opened there wae some conjecture as to whether the enrollment would, be -larger or'smller than that of ast year. The ' report shows an Increase. .. In fact; the- ayer age daily attendance:; for. the .past month is. ninety more than last year. "The opening of the - schools was marked .fey ..the .p.resence of Jquite a large number of new teachers, 20 in the white, schools,, who have , taken the places of those who had resigned since the schools closed .last June., The prin cipals report that, the new teachers are rendering excellent service and there is. no reason why -the . instruction should not bo kept .up -to the standard of former years". - "During the mo'nth our schools have had - ah opportunity .to render some service of a public, nature inl connec tion with the Corn Show, the sale of Liberty Bonds-; a"nd: other -activities. This work has eatUt-ed in awakening an interest in- these civic , happenings. Our pupils ; have 'been brought' into contact with business;, men. and; busi ness methods, making them feej that they are not so very faf: removed frdm the de'mands and activities of public life. , The experience has also empha sized to, them the Importance of mak ing use of every opportunity to pre pare themselves for service., "This connecting of the school life with the life of tho comnvunlty and Its interests. has -Impressed the boys with the fact that it is only a step, from the school to useful employment and to opportunity for service for the city and county. . . ' : . "Another, feature - incident to the work abbv mentioned includes- visits on the part of business men . and ad dresses made by them to the different schools in an assembled capacity. We hope that this practice will be 'contin ued as it Is very helpful to have busi ness matters discussed by business men. "We regard the Corn Show as a val uable educational agency supple menting as it doeskin a practical way our regular spbool ,prk along many lines. The educational exhibit at the Corn Show did not; for lack of space, include all- the aya.iable material which the schools had. provided. How ever, the work; which was submitted for exhibition was' very creditable and received favorable . 1 , comment. The Hemenway won the first prize for the best all-round exhibit, with the Union second. The Hemenway won eight prizes; Union six! Prizes were also won by the Cornelius Harnett, Isaac Bear, William Hooper and High School. Both teachers and pupils , appreciate the numerous prizos. which" were offer ed: them by - the committees ; in charge. ; ?In. connection?" with the corn show our school children' have gained much information as to the value of boys and girls club work, food production and saving, and all other forms of vis ual education which stimulat an inter est in- scientific agriculture and stock and poultry raising! "We trust the members of bur . board of, education, and school . committee men: -will, make .it , a, rule; during this yearVto vslt one . or '.mdre of the schools at least once " each month." The. enrollment' at the various schools was,. as follows: Union, 745; Hemenway, 600; High. 430; Isaac Bear, 255; Cornelius Harnett,. 331; William Hooper, 55$; Sunset Parki 22; Willis tbn Industrial, 618; Williston Primary, 250; Peabody, 512.
