FORT FISHER BOMBARDMENT. Splendid Historical Address by Rev. J. 1. Smith "The Bible in the School," by Dr. Calvin S. Blsckwell , The Clrcnlatisf Library. . t Although the weather was anything but Inviting, there was a good atten dance yesterday upon the monthly meeting of the New Hanover County Teachers' Association, which was held in the Cape Fear! Academy building. next south of the Court House, on Third street. j lrtlPjsldent Catlett made a few; open ing remarks, calling the Association to order and introducing Rev. J.. A. Smith as one of. the survivors of the famous bombardment of Fort Fisher, near the mouth f of the Cape Fear river. Rev-Mr. 'Smith responded to the introduction j in most graceful manner and followed with an interest Ing description of perhaps the fiercest struggle in the annals of modern war fare. His subject was "Personal Ex perience at the Bombardment of Fort Fisher" and he showed at the outset that he was weilj qualified to speak upon the subject assigned. Much of his address was from the unwritten history of North Carolina and he urged upon those present a more thorough research into such things. He paid a glowing tribute to the brave soldiers who fought and died at Fisher and made an exceedingly beautiful reference to the late Gen. W. H. O. Whiting. Mr. W; u. tramming, wno was present, recalled! one incident of un written history in connection with the great event so graphically described by Mr. Smith. It was that the Con federate flag continued to fly over the ruins of the fort until the morning after the decisive battle, the colors not having been discovered by the enemy until that time. ' "The Bible in. the School" was most ably and interestingly treated by Dr. Calvin S. Blaekwell, who was next in troduced. He laid particular stress upon the desirability of teaching the mechanical part of the Scriptures where each book may be found; how many there are; whether in the Old or New Testament, etc Of course there was no detraction from the necessity of teaching the subject matter and Dr. Black well thought eacn school should devote at least SO 'minutes to devo tional exercises each day. Miss PattieD. Thorne. on account of illness, was unable to be present and read an Interesting paper which she had prepared on "The Best Method of Teaching Literature." Miss Maud Kingsbury, of the North Carolina Boroaii, was present in the Interest o! the circulating library which Sorosis will establish in con nection with the public school system. The first books to be placed In circu lation will be at Middle Sound school. In this connection it will not be amiss to refer to the patriotic action taken last week by Jeff Davis and George Washington councils, Jr. O. U. A. M, of this city. A joint com mittee consisting of William J. Bel- amy, chairman ; J. H. Swinson, J. E. Wood, R. G. Grady, Marsden Bellamy, Jr. and it. U. Deuosset has been ap pointed to purchase two large U. 8. flags, 30 feet size and of the very best material, for presentation to Hemen way and Union 1 schools. The flags will be presented about May 1st, with appropriate exercises. Hlh Prices For Tracking Lands. An idea of the value of New Han over county trucking land may oe gained from a purchase made yesterday by Mr. Frank T. Mills, the well known live stock dealer. Mr. Mills bought from Mr. Mr. L B. Rhodes 18 acres of land in Harnett township, one mile from the corporate limits of the city and paid therefor f 1,800 or an aver age of $100 per acre without buildings of any kind. The place Is situated on the Old Plank Road and adjoins the Kirkham place. Mr. Mills will erect a handsome residence on the place this Summer and will move his family there to live. Receipts of Hors. Master J. Robert Branch, the enter prising young clerk at the Chamber of Commerce, Is anatural born statistician and has peculiar aptitude for the work n which he Is now engsged. One of his latest achievements in figures Is a compilation of the! total receipts of hogs at Chicago during February. The number was 688,000, which gives rise to the remark that there'll probably be no scarcity in pork for the Immediate present any way. j The Maxton Shooting. , A Maxton, N.

Popular Prices. The Payton Sis ters' Comedy Company will play at the Academy all next week. Of the company tne Onarlotte Observer re cently said: "The Payton Bisters' Comedy Company played 'The Sins of His Father", last night to one of ther largest audiences that has ever assembled in the Academy, and the almost continuous applause showed that the company had won Instant favor. All the various parts were ex cellently handled, and the specialties were far above the average. The com pany will remain in Charlotte all this week, playing at popular prices, and the success of their engagement here is already assured. The play to-night will be "North Carolina Folks." "Hello Bill" One of thebrightest, most laughable and very cleverest farce comedies seen at the local theatre this season was the presentation last night of Goodhue & Kellogg's ' Hello. Bill." Unfortunately the audience was not large, but those who were present had a good two hours of " wholesome fun. Mr. James F. McDonald in the leading character and Mr. a S. Wlltsie as Mr. Cutting are destined to become actors of great renown if their lines are always as cleverly taken as they were last night.
