EDUCATIONAL RALLY.
Annual Gathering of Indians
at Penbroke State Supt.
Joyner Speaker of the Oc
casion.
The Indians of the county as
sembled Saturday at Pembroke
to hold their annual educational
rally, and they were there to the
number of several hundred, 'lue
large auditorium of the school
building was filled to its utmost
and possibly as many more were
on the out&ide, unable to gain
admittance.
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction J. Y. Joyner was the
speaker of the occasion, and he
made a speech the like of which
the Indians possibly never heard
before. He spoke for about two
hours, beginning a little before
12 o'clock. Prof. H. L. Edens,
principal of the Indian Normal,
in a few appropriate remarks in
troduced the speaker. Dr. Joyner
con&i auiiated the Indians upon
the evidences of their educational
advancement. He also con
gratulated them on the fact that
so many of them own their homes
and are making a good living.
He said the object of his visit
was to tell them about education
and what it means, and no one
who heard him qastions but that
he told them in language plain
enough lor all to understand. He
said tne success attained in any
phase of life depends upon educa
tion. He gave many illustrations
showing where an education pays
from a financial standpoint,
which he said was placing it on
its lowest plane. He told how
the pleasures and joys of a people
depend on education and said that
it was the royal road to the full
development of womanhood and
manhood.
Dr. J oyner's speech from start
to finish was a treat and it is to
be regretted that lack of space
will not permit a fuller account
of the many good things he had
to say.
Mr. W. S. Cobb, Democratic
candidate for the State Senate,
was there and made a few re
marks, assuring the Indians that
he would do all in his power to
increase the aapropriation for
their school and help them in any
other ay possible. Prof. Edens
then announced that dinner was
next in order. There was noth
ing after dinner except a meet
ing of the trustees of the Normal
with Dr. Joyner to discuss the
needs of the school.

ELIZABETHTOWN ECHOES.
A River Trip to Wilmineton
Visitors Surprised at Beautiful
Scenery Presbytery and
Court.
Correspondence of Tne Robesonian.
Elizabeth town. Oct. 2 0 .-A
party from this city boarded
Steamer Lyon two weeks since
tor a trip to the ' 'City b y the
Sea." It was eminently a
"lovely" .outing. Sunrise o n
the river is particularly beauti
ful, especially when ever-shift
ing, light fog rises, to disappear
a tew minutes later. Good com
pany, wonderfully fine stretches
of foliage and water views, extra
nice lunch baskets to tan
back upon, when talk became
listless and a change was needed,
all made up a perfect day.
About 12 o'clock the Lyon made
a stop at "Oakland," formerly
owned by Gen 1, Thos. Brown
of Revolutionary fame. The
company decided to view the
grand old place and en masse
stormed the massive old brick
Lome, the brick oi which, tradi
' . . . .. ...
tion says, came from England.
The welcome extended by Mr.
Brissonand his kind family was
cordial in the extreme and all
hands voted a return visit at the
first possible moment.
Your correspondent visited Mrs.
Roger Moore. That historic name
gives at once the charm ot a
visic there. The 'prince of good
fellows, "Mr. Louis T. Moore, is
known to you newspaper men.
Mrs. Moore returned to E town
with this correspondent, co.nin
up on the "City of Fayette vilie"
with ministers and delegates to
Presbytery. It seemed sirange
that in this Cape Fear section the
river should have been a new
thing with most of the travellers.
It was pleasant to see uieir sur
prise at and admiration ot our oil
stream Had not imagined such
beautiful scenery' "Oh for
kodak to get that view to send
to Boston, etc., was heard on
all sides.

sermons were given for mental
and moral digestion. The writer
leaves it to abler pens to give
full notes of the meeting, merely
stating thatE-tovvn wishesPres-
bytery might remain m 'session
here, giving her the benefit of
the charming company of minis
ters and vistors.
October court What does it
not stand for here! It is one of
the Calendar days, only equalled
by the March court. Judge
Oliver Allen presided. E town
gives him a true welcome al
ways, valuing him at his value
as a courtly, high-toned gentle
man and scholar. Mr. N. A.
Sinclair, with his power to push
home justice to the recreant, was
also with us. His speeches tally
with his fine physique. Bladen
knows her visiting sons Terry
and Homer Lyon reflect credit
on her and feels that they should
not wander from the old town.
The home bar is too well known
to mention its excellency. Mr.
Dave Lewis also lent his foren
sic knowledge to the occasion.
Court without Dr. R03S Davis
would be out of plumb. He is a
general favorite and his fine work
has been a blessing to many.
