INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Prominent Men Meet in Washington
for the Purpose of Organizing
an International Law
Society.
Union Press Association to the Argus.
Washington, D. C, April 19 That it
Is of great importance that the public
should be educated to a correct under
standing of those principles of inter
national law and practice which the
United States is called upon to observe
in its relations with other nations is the
..belief of a number of prominent men
who gathered in this city today to com
plete the organization of a society
which will work to this end. The pro
moters of the movement believe that an
understanding of international law is
more essential to the people of the
United States than in other countries
because of the influence public senti
ment exercises upon the administra
tive and diplomatic policy of this Gov
ernment. The formation of such a society was
first proposed two years ago by Prof.
James B. Scott of Columbia University,
now solicitor of the Department of
State. The project was later endorsed
by the Lake Mohonk arbitration con
ference. Preliminary plans for the or
ganization were drawn up last Decem
ber at a dinner given by Oscar S. Straus,
now Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
Temporary organization was effected
with Elihu Root as president and with
Chief Justice Fuller, Andrew Carnegie,
Secretary Taft, Joseph H. Choate, ex
Secretary Olney,-Judge Morrpw 1"

of national prominence on the list of

Details of the Mexican Earthquake

Received.
Mexico City, April 17 Details of the
destruction wrought by the great earth
quake of last Sunday and Monday are
reaching this city already. A message
from AcaDulco today confirmed the
story of the total destruction of Ayulta
The jail and hospital collapsed but the
prisoners and the patients were taken
out safely. Factories throughout the
district are in ruins and - thousands of
workmen will suffer greatly from the
loss of their homes and enforced idle
ness. The postofflce. telegraph office
and barracks at Ayulta were destroy
ed.
Selesians College in Santa Julia,
which was supposed to have been
earthquake proof, collapsed. The roof
above the second floor fell in when
seventy students were in the building.
Although the structure practically fell
to pieces not one ot the students was
injured. Many of the students were
left clinging to the beams. The teach
ers, with a. number of pupils' had left
the building. After the shock, a search
was made of the ruins, and those with
in the building were taken out. In
collapsing, the roof was supported on
one side by beemi, leaving a space
where many ot the students found
means of escaping death or injury. The
death list continues to grow.
Earthquake Anniversary Observed.
Union Press Association to the Argus.
San Francisco, Cal., April 18. One
year ago today occurred the terrible
earthquake and subsequent fire which
cost 452 lives and reduced the fairest
portion of San Francisco to an un
sightly heap of ruins. There were
many reminders today of the anniver
sary. Flags at half mast wore display
ed on many buildings and the graves
of the victims in the local cemeteries
were decorated. In all the churches
exercises were held in memory of the
victims of the calamity and in thanks
giving for the marvelous recovery ot
the city within twelve months' time.
The day was likewise observed in Oak
land, Norkeley, San Jose and numer
ous other places.
LET'S 00 FORWARD.
A Greater High School For
Goldsboro a Pressing
Necessity.
It is well known by those who are
acquainted with our school conditions
that the High School Department has
out-grown its present accomodations.
Already it is necessary to use two re
citation rooms extra for four grades of
students, and one class is dismissed
early in the day in order to afford class
rooms for other studies. The 7th, 8th,
tn ana lotn grades three . years ago
contained 126 students and were taught
by three teachers; "today these four
grades have 238 students and six teach
ers. The number in these same grades
next year will approximate 260 stu
dents. This increase will make it
necessary to provide more room and
another teacher under our present ar
rangements.
If, however, we can adopt a plan to
erect a high school building whereby
an assembly hall can be used for seat
ing the students while they are not in
recitation, the 260 students can be
tanght by our present corps of teachers
under better advantages than the 238
students are now taught, and the
amount saved annually in this way
will be more than the interest on the
money necessary to erect a new build
ing. The enrollment at present is 1024.
This is too many students on one lot.
In case of an epedemio of any kind all
the schools must be closed. This would
be avoided if another building were
erected in another part of the city.
rue grounds are so crowded at re
cess times that . the smaller students
are always in danger of being hurt by
the crowd. To move the high school
would make it more dignified, and a
strong incentive to the gram in er school
students to work up to it. Under. our
present arrangements we have no as
sembly hall, one of the greatest needs
of the school. The students cannot be
brought together for any kind of enter
tainment, and it is impossible for us
to have lectures of any kind at the
school, for there is no place in which to
assemble as many as two grades.
The last legislature made it possible
for us to establish a County High
School in Goldsboro, and open the high
school free to all students and teachers
of the county who desire to attend.
Under our present arrangements it is
impossible for us to accommodate even
the - children of Goldsboro. If the
County High School be established it is
possible for us to secure an appropria
tion ot $500 from the County and $500
from the State for its support. Golds
boro should be able to train all the
teachers of the county. No student of
the county who desires to come to
Goldsboro should be denied the advant
age, for the greater service a town can
be to - the surrounding country the
greater will be the faith of the country
in that town and the stronger that town
will become.
Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Win
ston, Ashevilie, Charlotte and Wil
mington all have their high school
buildings. It is possible for Goldsboro
to erect a high school building without
issuing bonds. It is now being considered.
BUCK, ITCHING
SPOTS ON FACE
Physicians Called It Eczema in
Worst Form Treated Disease
for a Year but Could Not Cure It
Patient Became Despondent
Suffering Promptly Allayed and
DREADFUL DISEASE
CURED BY CUTICURA
"About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and a few covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation, and
which caused me a great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to euch an extent
that I was forced to call in two of tho
leading physicians of After
n thorough examination of the dreaded
complaint they announced it to be
skin eczema in its worst form. They
treated me for the same for the length
of one year, but the treatment did me
no good. Finally I became despondent
and decided to discontinue their ser
vices. Shortly afterwards, my husband
in reading a copy of a weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti
cura Remedies. He purchased the en
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. I continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. I have not felt a symp
tom of the eczema since, which was
three years ago. The Cuticura Reme
dies not only cured me of that dreadful
disease, eczema, but of other complicated
troubles as well, and J have been the
means of others being cured of the same
disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and
I don't hesitate in saying that Cuticura
Resolvent is the best blood medicine
that the world has ever known. Mrs.
Lizzie E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma.
Ala., Oct. 28, 1905."
