Death of the Ntrth Caroliaa Leagae is Officially Aaaoaaced Darbam Did Not Like Raleifh'a Selflshaeas. The North Carolina four-club league died in its infancy yesterday. The sad, sad story is told iff the fol- owing Raleigh special received by the 8tab last night: "The four-club State Baseball League went to pieces to-day, when Durham declined to go to Newbern to play this week, according to schedule. Durham disbanded, forcing Newbern out Raleigh will play Greensboro in that city this week and - in Raleigh all next week. Durham claimed that was unfair for Raleigh and Greens boro to catch both the State Conven tion and Firemen's Tournament. It is possible that Raleigh and Greensboro will play a series of exhibition games at various towns alter tbe engage ment here next week. A spiritless game in Greensboro to-day resulted in victory for Greensboro by a score or 6 to 1. A telegram from wewoern says the team there went on the dia mond prepared to play Durham, but that team not appearing;, urn pu declared the game forfeited to New bern. 9 to to 0. The Newbern team is still intact and ready to play the schedule. O.

C COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND PENSION BOARD Both Met Yesterday Afternoon at the Court House sod Held Short Scb sloos Rontiae Mstterg. The Board of County Commission ers met in an adjourned session yes terday afternoon, and afterwards met in regular monthly session with the Pension Board. At the meeting of the county fathers all the members of the board were present, Commissioners McEachern, (chairman), Holmes, Vollers, Mont gomery and Alexander. Qrne first matter considered was the change of the public roads, desired by Mr. Pembroke Jones, on his land at Wrightsville Sound. The commis sioners visited the sound last week and Investigated the matter, consequently the following resolution was presented and adopted: i "Resolved, That section 4 of the county road!in Harnett township be discontinued from a point on said road at or near Anthony Nixon's line to the northern line o! a ditch known as Lar- kins' ditch, and that in lieu of said discontinued road a road be laid out and built along the northern line of lands now occupied bv Pembroke Jones and thence along a route as proposed in a map made by Joseph H. McRee at the expense of the petitioner Pembroke Jones, but that the present road remain a public road till the terms are complied with." An application was received from the Hanover Land Improvement Com pany asking for reassessment of tax valuation on their propetty in Cape Fear township. It was referred to Commissioners Holmes, Montgomery and Alexander to investigate and re port back. The Board granted liquor licenses to Frank B. Brown, L. Southerland, J. H. Woebse and tbe Hanover Seaside Club, of Wrightsville Beach. Mr. O. EL Robinson, Jr., now of At lanta, appeared before the Board In the interest of a lock typewriter, made by the Elliott-Hatch Typewriter Man ufacturing Company, especially to copy court records in books. The ma chine is a very fine one and saves much labor and space, as it is easily adjustable to any book and makes a clear, durable print. Mr. Robinson explained the advan tages of the machine and its great use to registers of deeds, who have many legal documents to copy. .After hearing Mr. Robinson and seeing the machine work the matter was referred to the chairman and Commissioner Vollers. Upon adjournment the commis sioners met in joint session with the Pension Board, the members present being Col. John D. Taylor, clerk of the Superior Court, Col. W. L. DeRosset and Messrs. Walter G. Mac Rae and Geo. H. Huggins. Pensions were granted to W. J. Brown, Rufus Register. Samuel J. Rowan, Chas. Cowles, Rufus Strick land, Margaret Holmes, widow of John W. Holmes, Isabella Carteret, widow of Luke R. Carteret, and Elijah Williamson, widow of Abraham Wil liamson. SIXTH STREET BRIDGE. t Is Shortly to Be Repaired and Opened again to the Public. Sixth street bridge is to be opened again. Then, wnen tne one on .miin street gets into place, there will be three good bridge connections with Brooklyn. The opening of the old Fifth street bridge, abandoned a year or so ago, was decided upon by the Streets and Wharves Committee of the Board af Aldermen. They ooked into the matter thoroughly and personally inspected the old bridge, which, of course, is to be repaired. Bids for doing the work will be called for immediately, and the contract will probably be awarded within ten days. At first it was thought that under the Fifth street contract with the Greater Coast Line the bridge, which is the lowest on the line of the rail road, could not be reopened, but this was an error, as the contract only prohibits building another .similar bridge at this point. CARS ONLY NIGHTLY. Will Be Proiramme for the Delfsdo Line Except on Sundays. Cars on the Delgado trolley line will only be run nightly, from 7;30 'clock until about midnight, except Sunday, when an all day service will be in vogue. The work of construc tion on the line makes it impossible to run the cars every day. Sunday was a big day for travel on the line and every car that scooted along every ten minutes wss loaded with passengers. One car alone hauled and fro 1,700 people. The trip is a delightful one. Bv the next Sabbath work on the line will be progressed far enough to permit of a ride a considerable dis tance beyond the mills. Off to the State Convention. New Hanover county'a delegates to the State convention, which meets to morrow In Greensboro, leave to, day. The names of those who will attend, amieared in the Stab Sunday, are Judge E. K. Bryan, Marsden Bellamy, Esq., Herbert McClammy, Esq., T. vy. Davis, Esq., Major. W. H. Bernard and Messrs. W. E. Worth and F. H. Stedman. Congressman John V. Bellamy will also attend. Hon. J. W. 8. Robinson, a delegate from Bamiison county, arrived In the city yesterday, and will go to Greens boro this morning. The Board of Audit and Fi nance meets this afternoon. NINGf TUESDAY, JULY 15, BOARD OF EDUCATION Most Important Meeting of the Year Held Last Night at the Court House. SCHOOL FUND APPORTIONED. Treasurer and Superintendent Present In terestlor Reports Edncational Ral ly Next Month New School Committeemen appointed. The Board of Education held its most important meeting of the year last night. It was of more moment for the fact that it was the first one to be held subsequent to the closing of the school year and the regular semi annual apportionment of the school fund had to be made, and various an nual reports passed upon. Col. W. A. Johnson, chairman, and Mr. W. H. Sprunt were the members present. Prof. Washington Catlett, superintendent of public instruction, and Mr. H. McL. Green, county treas urer, were also present. The former acted as secretary. Afier the meeting was called to or der, the first business was the presen tation of the county treasurer's report, which showed a balance of $13,003 78. The report was accepted and ordered filed. The balance showed by the treasur er's report as being on hand was ap portioned as follows : Contingent fund ressrved (according to law), $500; District No. 1, (Wil mington), 1 $3, 420. 98; District No. 2, (Wilmington), $3,496.23; Cape Fear township, $221; Federal Point town ship, $236; Masonboro township, $328; Harnett township, $916.15. Total, $9,128.71. This made the amount actually ap portioned $8,628.71, which with the $500 contingent fund and' several thousand dollars allotted to city schools at last January meeting, makes an exact balance with the sum reported on hand by the treasurer. The amount assigned to each school was just enough for the running ex penses or in at school, witn what money each had on hand, until the next apportionment meeting six months hence. The county superintendent of pub ic instruction, fror. uatiett, pre sented two reports, one a statistical statement to be sent to Stale Superin tendent of Public Instruction Joyner. Both reports were very able and en lightening documents, and the statis tical one made the 'following interest ing showing for the past year: Number of white children in the county of school age (6 to 21), 1,837 males and 1,917 females; number of colored, 1,843 kales and. 2, 203 females. Total, 3,754 Whites and 4,045 colored. Number of white children enrolled. 1,035 males and 1,136 females; num ber of colored enrolled, 796 males and 1,053 females. Total, 2,171 whites and 1,849 colored. Average attendance, 1,554 whites; 1,085 colored; number of schools for whites, 17; for colored, 14; valuation of school property for whites, $82,100; for colored, $16,400; assessment value or all property of whites, $7,890,784; for colored, $470,657; number of polls listed by whites and returned for taxa tion, 2,098; by colored, 1,531; number of insolvent white polls, 417; col ored, 600. The report also makes the very in teresting showing that the white people paid in school taxes on polls and property $32,644.78 against $2,255.63 paid by colored. Another item of interest is that ten of the district schools have libraries, numbering in all, 900 volumes. The other report wae as follows: "I have the honor to report as fol lows the work of the past scholastic year and the condition of the schools: COMPULSORY EDUCATION. "A seridus fact confronts us when we note that from a census of 7,799 children in the county only 4,020 are enrolled in the schools, consisting of 2,174 whites and 1,849 negroes, while the average attendance is only 1,554 whites and 1,084 colored making a total average of 2,628. "This can be accounted for as fol lows: 1st Many of the children above 16 years of age consider themselves too old to attend school. 2nd. A num ber are put to work in factories when they are just above 12 years of age. Delgado District, for example, with a census of 153, has an enrollment of only 157. I have no statistics from the city. 3rd. Parents are apathetic and will not avail themselves of the opportunities freely given. Some are unable to suitably clothe their chil dren for school, and others allow them to consult their own wills or keep them at home for every trivial or im aginary need for their services. "The remedy for this may be found, first, by a law for compulsory educa tion, which is beginning to be agi tated in the South. 2nd. By thor oughly canvassing the country with educational speakers, who will plead with parents and show the necessity of education. 3rd. By getting faithful and well trained teachers to make school life so attractive that the listless child may be drawn within the school Influence. The subject is well worth the attention of leading thinkers, edu cators, School Boards, school officers and teachers. "Considering the difficulties to be surmounted In inducing a callous peo ple tothoroughly appreciate the need and blessings of an education, I may say that a most gratifying progress has been made throughout our rural districts. With the efficient assistance of this Board and a willing co-operation of a majority of our committee men a hearty awakening is noticed in every district. 'I visited every school iif the coun ty several timealduring the session ot" the schools, noted the work of the teachers, and examined the children. The result has been satisfactory. Most of the schools held interesting closing exercises. I attended aa many of them aa the occasion would permit. Mem bers from this Board found time from pressing duties to aid me in addressing the people who were assembled upon the urgent necessity, of sending their Stam0 1902. children to school with promptness ana regularity. MUSIC. "The leading educators of the day. with the ancient Greeks, recognize the value of musicf as one of the first requisites for successful school work. A move has been made to introduse this subject into our rural schools. offer this plan: Let a skillful teacher of music be employed, who shall be called a County Supervisor of Music. He snail visit the schools regularly, devoting his whole time. He shall teach the rudiments of music scientifi cally, training the children to sing by note, so that music shall be a part of the opening and closing exercises of each school. During his absence the regular teacher shall continue daily practice as outlined by the supervi sors. "An available man is at hand who will give his entire time to the work for a salary of $40 per month, being equal to the pay of a nrst grade teacher, The money for his salary can be taken from each school, amounting to about $4 per month. This. I think, is easily within the finances of tbe schools. "Music will tend io produce order, to afford healthful exercise, to attract children to school, and to add an in terest which nothing else can . INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS "The colored schools have shown a desire to introduce industrial training, District No. 4 showed very creditable work with the needle and District No. 6 is very anxious to establish with aid which can be gotten from a Northern Aid Society, an extensive department for such training. This work I hope will be encouraged especiallv among the colored children. TEACHERS' MEETINGS. "It has not been found practicable to hold an Institute in this county as the law requires, but I have held monthly meetings for the teachers. These were well attended. Methods of instruction were discussed, and sub jects pertaining to a more successful management of the schools were ex plained. "A meeting of the Committeemen was held. It brought together these men who are in close touch with the schools, and gave them an opportuni ty to compare the work done by each. Col. A. M. Waddell addressed them upon education, and Mr. W. 11 Sprunt of this Board added words of encouragement. BUILDINGS. "While the buildings are in good condition there is need of repainting, with many minor repairs in all of them. Money now spent will be econ omy in preserving the property. The school house in D strict No. 14 for whites is being rebuilt and that in Dis trict No. 3 is being repaired. The school for whites in District No. 7 would attract more pupils if it were in a more central position. I hope in time the Board may see fit to move it or build a new structure, as the present building is not such as we should have. The colored Ischool fin District No. 9 is far from the centre of population and should be moved as Boon as the money is available. SCHOOL GROUNDS. "By persistent efforts the surround ings of our school houses are gradually being improved. Nothing aids more to refine and elevate the child than well arranged grounds with flowers, shrubs and tastefully ornamented interiors. The 3thetic side of life should be de veloped and cultivated as well as the other faculties. "District No.13 deserves especial men tion for attractive grounds and tasteful interior. PURE WATER. "Pure drinking water is still a source of concern in most of the schools. It is to be hoped that some plan can be devised when money is provided. LIBRARIES. "After urging the people for the past two years to supply suitable books for their children I am pleased to report that nearly every school, both for white and colored, has secur ed books amounting to nearly 900 volumes of well selected reading mat ter, the benefit of which upon the life and character of these children will be valuable and far-reaching. ''These books have been secured by contributions from the people of the district, by State aid, and by donations of certain generous and noble minded friends of the rural children. "Full statistics will be found in my report to the State superintendent. "In closing this report, I wish to thank each member of this Board and all school officers for the valuable help and cooperation as well as for the many courtesies extended to me in my labors." Relative to the suggestion in his re. port about a music instructor, Prof. Catlett mentioned the name of Prof. D. M. Bain. The Board discussed the matter and looked at it in a very favorable light, but decided to defer action until the Au gust meeting. Mr. Giles Westbrook was appointed as a school committeeman of District No. 6 (Wrightsville) and Mr. David J. Seifort as a committeeman for District No. 15 (Delgado). Prof. Catlett reported to the meeting that he had received a communication from Superintendent Joyner relative to holding an educational meeting at some point in the county during next month and for which occasion he. would send a special speaker. He also stated that the people of the county were heartily in favor of the meeting, and he thought Middle Sound the most desirable place to hold it. The Board expressed itself in favor of such a meeting and instructed Prof, Catlett to accept the invitation and make all necessary arrangements. Shortly after 10 o'clock the meeting adjourned. Dr. Little Sick Again. The Stab regrets to learn that Dr. Thos. R. Little, Superintendent of the James Walker Memorial Hospital, was compelled to return to the city Sunday from his vacation, upon which he had just started and which he in. tended to spend with relatives In Western North Carolina, and is again sick at the hoetpital.
