T. Corson, of CAN 6CCH A TITXXG BE? Mil- rvvinnvhiut n. Dr. Corson 1 one or America's eminent school men, distin guished alike In this coantry. and In Europe." For oiany yeas he was State uperintendent of- Ohio.- In 1S00 he : was elected president of the National Education Association, an organlmiion with fifty thousand members, the larg est association of its kind in the world. ' He la now editor of The Ohio Educa tional Monthly, published at Coium- , iu..Ohfo, Dr. Corson delighted the larjesrudlences which haard him here and -was in turn delighted with his audiences and with the City of Char lotte. Of his visit to Charlotte, he writes as follows in the current num ber of his magazine. The Ohio Educa tional Monthly: "The first public voice in America for dissolving all fonnection uita ., Great Britain ca'me not from the Pur i Itans f New England, the Dutch of New Tork, nor t.ie planters of Vir sTinla, but from the Scotch-lrUh 'ireabyterins' these are the words of Bancroft, the historian. Whether he had In mind the alleged Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence or not, or what may be true or false regard ing thia document .will not be discuss ed in this article, but n attendance June lth-lth at the twenty-fifth anniversary meeting of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, held In ' Charlotte, the county scat of Mecklen iiurj county, and one of the moot beautiful and enterprising cities of 40. 08 people it has been our privilege to visit, brought so much of pleasure and interest that J cannot refrain from a brief description of the great meeting and the historic city in -which it was held. The programme of the meeting contained the names of speakers from four States outalde of North Carolina and of one representing the United States Department of Agriculture. MARVELOUS PROGRESS. "In addition to the general meet ' Ings which were held on the four evenings of the assembly the first ne was honored y the presence of Governor Glenn, w ho delivered a ring ing address of welcome there were forenoon and afternoon meeting, on each of the three day, of the county ujxtfintendents' section, city superin tendents' section, primary teachers' section, high school and academy teachers' section, and the Woman's Association for tho Betterment of Public School Houes. It was a pleas ure; Indeed, to talk to the earnut teachers and superintendents present whose attention and Interest never lagged through the long sessions and whose uniform courtey made the stay In their mldHt a constant l'llght. The nmnrti from the dlfTi-rent sections of the State, outlining the work: done by the women for the betterment of the public school buildings were a marvel to me and made me wish that some of the (bare-walled, untidy, shideless school houses in Ohio might have sim ilar attention from the good women of the Buckeye State. "One of the mod Important actions Of this State assembly was the elec tion of Mrs. Charles D. Mclver, as Btste oraanlzer of the Betterment As sociation. Dr. Mclvtr's sudden duth less than two year's Bgo was a hard blow to fh- educational Interests of the entire South and It l particular ly (IttlnK an.l fortunate that Mrs. Mc- " iVer IS now to devote her time and talent to the great work which was l0 dear to the hrnrt of her husband.

FOTltPWitha r past.vagTia v-rumor have been afloat regarding amUlloo dolIarcotton,rmlll tor..Charlotte. Tho news leaked out. first last " falL Just at th -i llmaJ.whciLlAbf1 period of financial depression was beginning to be- felU ;;vlt :W. thei .. stated, and there was never any contradiction, that several of the Southern Power Company -officials, and other" In fiuenkial local, as well as out-of-town capitalists were Interested In the deal. The plant, so the story went., waa to be situated near the Chadwlck and Hoskins Milla,west of the city, and was to contain approximately 40,1)00 spindles with a proportionate equip ment of looms, Fine sheetings was to be the principal article manu factured, though, of 'course, 'other goods were to be handled.- Electric power was to be used In tho operation of tho mammoth plant and the ma chinery equipment waa to consist of the very latest devices known to the trade. Of peculiar Interest to manu facturers was to be tho presence later of some of the new .. Draper looms which Gen.' W. -K. Draper -and his associates are now forking on at their shops In Massachusetts. As stated, the first news of the project became noised abroad last fall. It was then only in embryonic form, no details having been agreed upon and the very undertaking' itself being in doubt. After Jmk first news became known the project fell away and for a time nothing more was heard of it. Later, as tho panic bo- came less and. less stringent, the pro moters of the scheme are reputed to have gradually gotten together again and they are now said to have reached some agreement as to the future. As soon as the cotton mar ket settles and the conditions become normal again. It is stated that the projectors of this plant will organize, subscribe the necessary stock and get to work. Those whose names are coupled with the undertaking are Gen. V. K. Draper, or Hope dalo. Mass.; Messrs. B. N. and J. B. Duke and Dr. W. OIU Wylle, of New York, several of General Draper's friends and Messrs. A. J. Draper and E. A. Smith, of this city. No verification of these rumors has been secured, and so nothing of a definite or authoritative nature can be stated. These reports, how ever, have been In circulation for some time and are believed by many well-posted cotton mill men. Along with the reports go stories concern ing General Draper's new loom which he Is perfecting at his shops In the North and which is said to be a great Improvement on the loom now in use. It Is stated by some that this new mill may get In shape for organization thin winter and by others not until next fall. It Is enough to state tliut such rumors are current.
