Addrtis by Prof. CsUetl Decided Op- poslUoi t Coasolldstio of Districts aid EatahUsbmeit ef Towaihlp Tristees Rip oris, Eic An enthusiastic and remarkably well attended meeting of the district school committeemen of the countv waa held yesterday morning at the Court House, with Prof. Washington Catlett super intendent of Dublio Instruction. The meeUng was held at the ugeUon of the State educational authorlllea and proved to be a moat nleaaant and profit able Innovation, though the idea waa by no means new with Prof. Catlett, who haa always advocated frequent and general conference of teachers and committeemen. Prof. Catlett called the meeting to order and expressed regret that cir- cumstances made . it impossible for members of the Board of Education to accept very cordial Invitations to be present. Each committeeman In at tendance was called upon for a brief explanation of his ideaa for the educa tional advancement of the county and the needs of his district In particular. All responded with enthusiasm and manlfeated an earneatneaa that augurs well for the ensuing scholastic year. The two chief topics of the general discussion were the consolidation of districts, so earnestly advocated by the State Board of Education, and the matter of abolishing the district com mittee and establishing township trustees in their stead. The meeting yesterday waa decidedly opposed to either proposition. Prof. Catlett who never losea an opportunity to admonish the people to take a forward step ln education. made a brief addreaa ln which he out lined the dutlea of a district commit teeman and the relation he bears to the county system. His address was listened to with much Interest and enthusiasm. The committeemen from the various district ln the county. nearly all of whom were present, are aa follows: District No. 2. L. J.

HASHAQETJ CO., au 2 tf MILITIA IN A COMMUNITY, j Poor Showing of W. L. I. in Recent En campment Text for Seasonable Ad vice to the Pobllc. Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 1st, 1903. To the Public : The encampment at Morehead is a thing of the past, but its success is a mile stone in the progress of military organization and discipline in the his tory of the Stater The- Wilmington Light Infantry carried into camp only 75 per cent, of its roll, being the small est percentage of any company pres ent. In several instances some com panies made the handsome showing of 100 per cent., while 90 per cent was nothing unusual. With this state ment of facts, I desire the Wilmington public to consider the reasons and wherefores of our home company ex periencing so much difficulty in mus tering the requisite percentage to en ter, the encampment at . all. There must be reason, or reasons, for this In equality, and I beg to submit to the public my estimate of the situation. In addition to the amount paid by the State to each military organiza tion, the citizens of Wilson, Tarboro and other towns of like size contribute by individual contribution to their hnma mmninfflii trnm 500 to $1,000 annually for general maintenance and encampment expenses, xnai citizens will thus voluntarily make contribu tinng hut nvidflnftpa the value that thev place upon-military organization as a nafairiiaril tn thn neace and rjrosneritv of the community; and thla public In terest is reneciea in me nanasome per centage with which such companies go . T . into encampment, inow, to turn irom this to theJWilmlngton situation. We have the handsomest armory in the Soutb, and our organization is probably the next oldest in the land. It is not possible to keep up a hand some and efficient military organiza tion except at considerable expense, and the $300 contributed severally by the city and county Is altogether in srienmtA tn meet our legitimate wants. The pay of a policeman is almost $600 ... . a m a. a. a year, wnue tne pouce iorce cost me city annually in round numbers $20, 000. A military organization does more than to conserve the peace at times of public turmoil; the mere fact of its existence in a community Is a warning to the evil doer that any at tempt against general peace will be In stantly met by an efficient force. Therefore, such an organization is a preventative, which it would be cheap for every community to maintain at a liberal expense. If the smaller towns of the State consider their military or ganizations "of so much value as to willingly subject themselves to pri vate contribution, varying from $500 to $1,000 annually, it would certainly seem that the commercial metropolis of the State would feel more keenly still the need of such a conserving force. ' The Light Infantry has been held together through the patriotism of our women more than by any other In fluence, and I respectfully submit that the commercial interests of the com munity should do something substan tial to render service in the company as agreeable as possible. At one time the organization had a list of contrib uting members which in the aggregate was of substantial financial aid, but of recent years the number has de cresed. I think that our organization can be put on a sound and satisfactory footing if the number of contributing members can be reasonably increased; also, If employers of the young men of the city would show more interest and second their efforts to do their duty by this old and useful organiza tion, instead of dampening their en thusiasm. I respectfully appeal to the public to respond to the needs of the situation, and I ask the thought ful attention of the public to Jhia card. Respectfully, A. P. Adrian, Captain Commanding.
