In Educational Work In
Aortli Carolina.
Gorman News Bureau,
Raleigh, N. C, Juue 18 1D0G.
Rileighhas been crowded with
school-teachers during the past week
and the most of them will remain
here for the ensuing thie weeks, in
attendance on the state summer
school which began last Siturday.
There are hundreds of the workers
here who are engaged iu the lauda
ble task of teaching the young, aud
they are among the state's most use
ful citize"s. The summer school
is a positive help to them in the
prosecution of their culling and it
is no wonder that so many take ad
vantage of the opportunity tu at
tend it.
The twenty-third annual session
of the North Carolina Teachers' As
sembly closed Friday night, after a
week's session here. J. A. Mathe
son, superintendent, of the Durham
graded schools, was elected president
for the ensuing year, with Thomas B.
Foiist of the Guilford county
schools, of which he is superintend
ent, first vice-president. Mr. R. D.
W. Conner was again elected secre
tary. Yesterday Bishop Roidthaler, of
the Salem Moravian Church, preach
ed to the teachers, the annual ser
mon, and as might be exptcted it
was a very able discourse especially
adajited to the occasion and there
fore greatly enjoyeil by the large
audience of educators which heajd
it.
Tne State Association of Couaty
Superintendents also held their fifth
annual seesion, beginning Saturday
aud closing this (Monday) eveaiug.
Dr. Mclvei, of the State Normal
aud Industrial College delivered the
principal address. Plans are being
perfected by all these educational
organizations to begin soon the pub
lication f a general state Journal
of education.
There is no more hopetul sign for
the material advancement aud better
ment of conditions in our state than
this robust and altogether healthful
activity nov so manifest in educa
tional circles in North Carolina.
Ignorance has in the past been the
greatest barrier that has retarded
our progress both as a state and as
individuals, especiallv among the
"common people." No other thing
has contributed nearly so much to
the establishment of provincialism
and aided its continuance for so
mauy years. That we are at last
getting out of the old ruts is cer
tainly a matter ot the sincerest con
gratulation.
AFTER SIXTY YEARS.
Virgin t.old Found In the ItanJolpli
Chnte at Uold Hill.
President W. G. Newman, of the
Gold Hill Copper Company, came
to Salisbury this morning from New
York and left at 10 o'clock for
Gold Hill.
Mr. Newman is in a happy frame
of mind over the latest strike of his
mine. He had a message yesterday
from the mining expert at Gold
Hill that the old- Kandolph chute
which was lost tixty years ago had
been found again and that virgin
gld in quantities was to be taken.
This mine has a history and a mint
record of $8,000,000 in gold alonu
but uothing connected with its op
eration since the foities is more in-
terestins than the discovery ami loss
of this Randolph chute. Mr. New
man declares that since it has been
found the Gold Hill can safely be
reckoned as one of the richest gold
mines in the United Sta'es. Salis
