Important Recommendations in
Lengthy Address By Superin
tendent to Legislature.
A COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
Maintenance of Education Prominent
Feature of Report Conference
With Governor on Immigra
tion Apportionments.
(By Sou. Bell Long Distance 'Phone. t
Raleigh, N. C, Jan., 5. The rec
ommendations of the State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction to tho
General Assembly through Governor
Glenn were made public today. The
paper consists of 105 typewritten
pages and is very comprehensive in
all departments cf educational work
in the State. It is recommended thai
a compulsory school attendance law
be enacte l requiring children bewejm
the ages of eight and twelves years to
attend some school in districts wheve
the. compulsory feature is voted by the
people; that the General Assembly
declare the public schools a necessary
expense of the community so that the
County Commissioners will be authcr-
Ize'd to levy a special tax for educa
tional purposes upon the recommenda
tion .of the county boards of educa
tion without a vote of the people, the
tax not to exceed 10 cents on the $100
valuation cf property and 30 cents
on the poll, no county to receive any
thing from the second $100,000 special
fund by the Legislature for a four
months school until the special tax
has first been.voted; that the Legis
lature make a special annual appro
priation of $100,000 to eucourage High
School education in the State to be
avai'able only where an equal amount
is raised in the locality applying for
aid in this respect; that $10,000 be
appropriated annually for five State
District Summer schools and $10,000
for permanent plants and equipment
Vlof the Sta.te normal colored scnopis,
or eaucauon ds inane si. jcua, "
term expiring each two years; that
the appropriation of $200,000 annually
by the Legislature as a special fun a
for the schools of the State be contin
ued because there is little hope of a
four months school without it; that
all counties be required to appropri
ate at least $200 annual!? for teachers'
institutes. Further than the recom
mendations above, the State Super
intendent appeals for as few changes
as possible. At present it Is stated
that the law Is the best that North
The aDDOrtionment of the first $100,-
000 special school fund votejl by the
Legislature was made to the
various counties in the State today.
The apportionment is on a basis of
709,185 school 'children in the State.
Mecklenburg with 21,223 children re
ceives $2,992, the largest amount for
any county, while Tyrell receives th-a
least, $228 New Hanover receives
$1,065 for 7,560 children; DupMn $1,

$670 for 4,754 children.
Maj. E. W. VanC. Lucas, of the
Carolina Trucking Development Com
pany, of Wilmington, and Secretary
T K. Bruner, of the State Department
of Agriculture, were in conference wltn
Governor Glenn for some time toSay
with reference to plans for including
a better class of immigrants "to come
to Eastern North Carolina to engage
in trucking. The Governor assured
the gentlemen of his co-operation in
any effort locking to the development
of the arable lauds of the State, but
no definite action was taken.
One of the most conservative and
best known State officials said this
morning in commenting on probable
legislation, that he anticipates that
the Legislature will have considerable
difficulty in railroad rate legislation,
especially in view of the. fact which
befel similar legislatipn in Virginia.
He thinks the. outcome in the State
will probably be an agreement oif the
part of the railroads to put down the
j-ate to 2 1-2 or 2 1-4 cents per mile
In consideration of a total abolition of
second-c'ass fare. Then those people
who objected to the conditions that
this would bring about in the regular
day coaches could .take the chair cars
and Pullman coaches paying extra for
the service. This same official says
the Legislature should also by 'all
means provide iorcounties or school
districts to vote at will on the ques
tion of compulsory education. He
thinks this would be very much pref
erable to the motye for a State law for
compulsory education. He does hot
think there is . any - probability of a
bill being, gotten through .the Legisla
ture calling for a general election on
the question of. prohibition- In fact he
emphasized the fact that the Demo
cratic party . platform 'Expressly en
dorses all the provisions of the Ward
law regulating temperance matters iu
the State so that he does . not think
the party will allow .any . important
changB-this session and no effort in
that "direction can amount to much

"Mercer P"ace" Name of New and De
NghtTuI Suburb Being Developed
By Wilmington Map For ReSj
nce or Investmsrnt The Plan.
"Mercer Place," is the name of a
delightful East Wilmington suburb
which is being developed by Mr. J. B.
Meacer, cf this city, and a profile of
which appears in an advertisement
of the plan elsewhere in to-day's pa
per. Mr. Mercer recently acquired
by purchase 30 acres of land, extend
ing along a beautiful, avenue of near
ly a mile in length and. 330 feet wide
in East 'Wilmington and has had it
surveyed and laid out into a delight
ful suburban settlement in which
many homeseliers have already mani
fested great interest, the community
being one of the very best in the
county, convenient to tne citj, suita
bly elevated and unquestioned as to
healthfulness. The property lies on
the south side of the Scott's Hill mac
adam road and runs parallel almost
due, south with ths- avenue of 30 feet
width toward the Wrights ville turn
pike with which plans are already ma
turing for its connection by a fine
county v roadway " across the property
of Mrs. William A. Wright, entering
about a quarter of a mile below Del
gado station.
The division of the property by the
avenue gives 60 lots on the east side
cf the avenue of an eigth of an aere
j each and on the west side an equal
uauiuci wi. uuii-v i-, ... m.
an acre each. These can be subdivid
ed at will into four larger lots than
the average building lot in the larger
cities when desired byvthe purchaser:
The avenue ic now being opened up
by Mr. Mercer and a numDer or tne
lets have already been sold. The
prices are reasonaoie ana me wnua
in everv instance are being made to
suit the purchaser.
The property is crossed by the city
belt line of the Atlantic Coast Line
and with a view to establishing a num
ber of industrial plants in the city.
Mr. MSercer has reserved several of
these lots admirably located with ref
erence to the. railroad track. He is
now negotiating with parties behind a
canning factory enterprise, and owners
wanting-ta'establish a furniture- plant
with the - probabilities that he -will
seTI trrinrttf?rrJotfi-of ' therarchassrs;
The demand for three and four room
houses .in the vicinity of East Wil
mington seems to have no limit and
a s an investment the property seems
first class. Mr. Mercer says he has
applications daily for houses and could
rent 50 or more cottages at fair ren
tals if they were built at once. The
rentals are as high in instances as
they are in the city, with no city tax
and ah opportunity to tenants to raise
such fowls domestic animals as"
they may wish: The opportunity for
gardening is also first class and this
question of raising vegetables for
one' own table is almost a fortune in
itself. Wood is cheaper there than in
the city and there are many other ad
vantages that Mr. Mercer would be
glad to explain to anyone interested.
MR. W. B. LITGEN DEAD.
Well Knwn Young Wilmingtonian
Passed Away Yesterday Noon.
Mr. William Berhheim Litgen, a
well known young Wilmingtonian, died
yesterday noon at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Annie K. Litgen, No.
24, North Second street, after an ill
ness of only three days with conges
tion cf the lungs and stomach. His
death will be learned cf with regret
by many friends. Mr. Litgen was in
the thirty-first year of his age and
had lived in Wilmington all his life.
He is survived his mother, two
brothers, Messrs. Harry and Henr?
Litgen and one sister, all of whom
have the sincerest sympathy of many
friends
The funeral will be conducted from
the residence at 3 o'clock "this after
noon by Rev. W. A. Snyder, cf the
Lutheran Church, and the interment
will be in the family lot in Oakdale
cemetery.
Harassing an Old Blind Man.
To steal pennies from a blind man
is regarded in current slang as the
heighth of meanness, but to break up
a cart that affords an eld blind man
his only means of a livelihood, if any
thing, is ten-fold worse. The latter
was a complaint that W. H. Walker,
a respectable colored man wlio has
been so unfortunate as to lose his
eye-sight, made at the police "station
yesterday morning. Walker lives at
1318 North Fifth street and by means
of a little cart manages to peddle
about the city, gathering up old bot
tles and junk which he sells and keeps
himself from being a charge upon the
county. While he slept a few nights
ago some one went to his house, took
his cart off some distance and smash
ed it all to pieces. There was xio mur
mur of complaint by the old man, but
when the same performance was re
peated night before last he reported
the matter to the police: They ha,ve
promised to keep a sharp lookout and
if the guilty parties are apprehended
they" will be given lhe extreme pen
alty of the law. -
Veterans of Raleigh, a resolution was
passed petitioning the in-coming Gen
eral Assembly to make a new class
on pensions, this for worthy negro
servants who followed the fortunes of
the Southern Confederacy and render
ed service to their owners or others.
