On Saturday, the 8th, at 8 p m , the 17th trienial convention of The American Instructors of the Deaf mei at the" Morganton School for the Daf and Dumb. This is the second time this con vention has met in the South, the first being in Staunton, Ya in 185G. The convention was called to order bv Sunt. E. McK. Good win. who extended a cordial creeling to all. He then intro duced A. G. Lewis, of Statesville, N. C, who introduced Lt. Gov Winston, the orator of the even ing. Gov. Winston was special ly felicitous and at tunes elo quent. He spoke w-ith pride ot the strides 2sorth Carolina has made along educational lines m the past few years, and encour- aged the hope that the spirit of education was abroad in North Carolina as never before m her historv. He made a very fine im- pression upon his audience, large- . . - i ly composed of northern and western people. Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, president of the convention and superin tendent of the Gallaudet School for the Deaf and Dumb, of Wash ington, D. C, on behalf of the convention was the first to re ply to Gov. Winston's gracious words of welcome, and he did it admirably. He was followed by J. N. Jones, ol Ohio; J. D. Clark, of Michigan; Dr. Thos. E. Fox, of New York; R. Mathison, Canada; N. F. Walker. South Carolina; and William Wade, the Pennsylvania philanthropist. The speeches were all in excellent taste and showed deep apprecia tion of the cenuine welcome given them. Most of the speak ers were warm in their commen dation of the Morganton sehoDi and the excellency of its work. A superintendent remarked in our uea ring tnat Mrs. n.. Kt Hurd was one of the five best oral teachers in vKTUnited States and that the work by the child ren under Miss Nettie McDanicl and Miss Eugenia Welch was as fine as he ever saw. mi i 1 . Hie large auditorium was filled with the delegates and the people of Morganton, and all seemed to hav3 heartily enjoyed the "'feast of reason and flow of soul." The visitors were delighted with the buildings, the grounds and the whole environment and all regarded this as an ideal spot. After the speaking there was a mutual exchange of courtesies between the visitors and the Morgautonians. On Sunday morning a religious service was held in the school chapel, some of the visitors at tending the churches in town. On Sunday afternoon there was anether service in the chapel de voted to the best methods of Sunday school work for the deaf and dumb. On Monday at 10 a. m. the convention got down to busi ness. The business sessions of each day are from 10 to 12 in the morning and from 2 to 4 p. m. These business sessions are given to a discussion of the best methods of impartinginstruction in various branches, with an oc casional tilt between the "man nalists" and the "oralists." On Tuesday night Supt. Good win and wife tendered a recep tion to the delegates and Mor gantonians. This was a most brilliant and successful affairand moved off without a hitch. They were assisted in receiving by Mrs. Winston of the School, State Treasurer B. F. Lacy and daughter, Dr. P. L. Murphy and wife and Mayor A. C. Avery a nd wife of Morganton. The guests repaired to the large dining hall, where delicious refreshments were served by trained waiters. The pleasure of the evening was enhanced by the ricli strains of an orchestra . A delightful ger man followed the luncheo.i and was greatly enjoyed by a large and brilliant assembly. Mr. Alex Murphy, with the ease and skill of an artist, led thegerman. It is no exageration to say that wt least 100 couples were on the .floor at once. On .Wednesday, morning and evening sessions were M held tn the schoolroom and were largely attended. On Wednesday niffht Dr. Chas. D. Mclver, of the State Nor mal, made an address to the convention, and a splendid ad dress it was. He captured his audience, he thrilled and delighted them. He instruct ed and inspired them. A man of force and magnetism, he easily won the attention and earnest sympathy of his audi ence. His home friends were proud of his splendid utter ances. and when he had finished wereprouder of North . unisiieu wcicpiuuuci umui m Carolina. He was followed by -'I state Treasurer Lacy in a short but delightfully appro priate and catchy speech. One of the northern superin tendents said to us, after hav ing heard Winston, Mclver and Lacy: "Well, sir I can't tell when I have so much en- ioved public speakers. Do vou raise many of those kind of men -in your State?" We replied in a half bragadocio wav, "The "woods are full of 'em." This has been a notable gathering. More than 30 btates are represented and two provinces in Canada, and the register of the D. & D. School shows over 240 dele gates. The convention will perhaps finish its work to-dav and adiourn on to-morrow. Morganton was specially glacUto welcome these conse- crated, scholarly men and wo men and assures them that We feel honored by their ores ence. Our oeonle are delio-ht- ed with the visitors, both la-1 ' - - - , dies and gentlemen, and will for years cherish oleasant recollections of their soiourn in our midst. The War. Charlotte Obsrver, 10th. The onlv news of consequence from the seat of war during the past week was the report from St. Petersburg to the effect that the Japanese have oap'ared Sakhalin Island, landing troops under guard of battleships and taking posos- siou. Military circles in St. Pe tersburg are said to be s artled by cue news, aimoagn tuey were aware of the fact t!iat since Eo- jestvenskv's fleet waa out of the way, there was nothing to prevent the Japanese from landing when ever they got ready. The news from Manchuria shows nothing of sequence as having occurred there. President Roosevelt has taken steps to have the bellige rents sign an armistice, t so far has not been successful. It seem, however, that this makes but little difference, as there is not much in clination on the part of the forces iu Manchuria to do any heavy ugoiing. xi may be, nowever, that Oyama will endeavor to cut off Vladivostock, by taking a po sition on the railroa between th port and Harbin. Tne situation in the Black Sea has improved, the mutinous crew of the Kniaz Potemkine surrender ing to Roumanian officers. The peace plenipotentiaries are now en route to Washington and it is likely that they will begin their sessions between the 1st and the 10th of August, They will in all probability be, most deliberate ia their conferences, and may be in session for months before a con clusion is finally reached.

At 10 "o'clock the va-t throng repaired to the ball-room either - ...i to watcn or participate in tne uance, wnicn wasgreany enioyeu till well-nigh 12 o'clock. It was truly a brilliant gath- ering from all sections of the na- tion. Men of culture, scholar ship and letters were there, and the fair women of the JNIorth, East and West vied in grace and beauty with their Southern sis ters. It was an assemblage worthy of a great, chivalrous and patriotic people. Among the visiting ladies were faces fair as tn Laioovreian judo or me Venus of MedH; women who re- called McAntey's description of those who graced the trial of Warren Hnstu.gs, in the Great Hall of William Kufus "the fair- haired daughters Df the House of Brunswick and the beautiful Mrs. Siddons, beautiful mothe of a beautiful race." There were Sason blondes, with deep blue eves, wnose siiKen tresses rested 1 1 1 a .1 upon finely chiseled shoulders like a wreath or golden fleece. Among these weie Misses D. L). Rice, Dolevan, Wfis.: Helen Flagg, Hartford, Conn.; Eliza beth Hunter, Columbus, O., and Ada Alcorn, Houstonville, Kv. And there were Latin brunettes, with black, piercing, eloquent eyes, whose jetty lasnes rested like silken fringe upon the velvety texture of dainty cheeks. Among these were Misses Ellerbe Holt, Selma, Ala.; Mary Sullivan, Philadelphia; Josephine Bennett, r ulton, Mo.; and Rosaline Bern hardt, Salisbury, N. C. Among the throng of brilliant women none surpassed Misse May Mur phy and May, Richards, of Mor ganton. Strangers said that Phoebus was their ancestral god and that into their forms and features had been woven the symmetry and beauty of the golden Aphrodite. bupt. Goodwin and wife are to be congratulated upon the marked success of a most nota ble reception. C. M. SOCIAL ITEMS.

It may be a surprise to some to know that negroes are uot per mitted to live io Southern Pines and Pinehnrsr. This may seem a little strange, when it is remem iwroH that these' two towns are composed almost exclusively of noil hern people. They come south with the idea that the negro is op pressed by his white neighbor, but they are uot here long befoie tuey lose all patience with them. Lifj know very little about the negro and it seems that they can never anderstact him. Two negroes re cently bought property at South ern Pines and planned to erect residences lor themselves and their families for immediate occupancy. There was a howl and a petition signed by twenty of the citizens and property holders of Southern Pines waa presented in which they described the proposed acts of the negroes and stated without beating abont the bush that "we believe that they can truly be de clared public nuisances, and that they will militate against the best interest of the town and its future government. By permitting these buddiugs to be erected and occu nied bv their owners and others r- - v whom they will iuduce to occupy them, the property owned by.ihe citizeus of that section of the town will be made to greatly de- preciate in value and the los in assessed valuation thereby will be greater to the town than will possi bly be'g uned by permitting them to be built.' The colored propel ty owners, both preachers, acted very seusiblui the matter. Tfcey ad dressed a letter to the mayor in which they stated tnat It is not a . our wisn to inrust ourselves as unwelcome citizens upon the town, aud. under existing conditious. will, for the worth of our property dispose oi it, and relinquish onr intention to become property owners within the corporate limits of Southern Pines.''
