Special to The Observer. Monroe, Sept I. The cotton grow '; ers' association of Union county met tn the court house Saturday afternoon. ' Tha meeting was largely attended. A resolution was passed calling for the ' resignation of Secretary Cheatham. ' The average condition of the cotton crop In this county was placed at 7 1-2. The teachers of the Monroe graded school met in the school house Sat urday morning. Supt J. A. Blvens made an address on the methods of work for the coming year. Miss Em ma Lee Nesblt, teachers of the third grade, and Mlsas Mattle Hale, of the eighth grade, are 111 at their homes and will not be able to come to Mon ' roe for some weeks. It Is thnuaht. Their places will be filled temporarily by substitutes, who attended the meeting The coming year promises to be a very successful one for the school. Prof. Mvrns, the new superin tendent, having long experience and fine reputation as an educator and school executive. The staff of teach ers, too. is an excellent one. "The peilc of Monroe have srood tight to be proud of their handsome church edifice. The writer has not traveled enough In the South to com pare thorn with the church buildings tn other towns of the same slse In this section or" the United Ststes. but . considerable, travel through the Mld '., die and New Kngland States cannot bring to his recollection a single town of this size with such fins churches. ' Another thing to be noted Is that the people attended church hero far more generally than In the No-thorn towns. In many towns In the North the - school house In I he largest snd finest building. ami I have seen towns of not more Mh mi 1,600 population with large, well-built brick school houses dominating all the other buildings, ' While churches may be plain wooden - structures. A philosopher might get , some Inkling from these fscls as to tha different characteristics of the . people In the two sectlona of our country. Philosophers, take notice. At a meeting of the Jackson Club Friday night. It was decided that . tbe club rooms shall heresfter bo . often to the ladles, every Friday from a. m. to 1J p. m A. (1. Spalding A Co., of New Tork. are fitting up the gymnasium, which will occupy ' the third floor of the club building.! : Nothing will be omitted to make a ' . complete gymnasium with all the i V latest wrinkles. Haekett ball will be ! feature. If all the members who! ,Mf they are going to do so, actually! win use mo gymnasium, Monroe can soon point with pride to many athlet ' fe forms that are now somewhat "oft" and out of condition. Mr. O. Ed. Klow la doing a little , private gymnastic work, having taken . up the Hwaboda system lately. Ha has' developed a pair of arms that ;, would make a blacksmith green with " envy. If the great John L. Sullivan Is really coming to North Carolina, as 7 reported, he'd better steer cloar of 'Monroe unless he wishes to run : against a solar plexus again to sea bow It feels. There's one here, all right. .The Monroe baseball team Is chaf . Ing because It cannot find any new worlds to conquer. The teams of all . tha other towns around the State seem to be afraid to meet our cham pions, several of them having fluked after making arrangements to play. Hence these- tears la Ue eyes of Mr. t lunham liundy. . , ' ' Wilmington Ice riant Shut Down.-, Fpeeisl to The Observer.. , - Wilmington, Sept.
