I Directors, at their meeting last
June, issued an order limiting the
attendance to that number until
more room is provided for. We
made the prediction at the open
ing of the first session that within
five years there would be 500
young ladies in attendance at this
popular school, and the prediction
would have been more than ful
filled at the openirg of the third
session if-the buildings were suf
ficient to accommodate them.
President Melver, who did more
than any other man to establish
the school, is to be congratulated
on the great success and popular
ity it has attained. Should he re
tain his present popularity to his
death the patriotic women of
North Carolina would undoubted

such noble work for his people
would need no marble shaft to

would live and grow brighter in
the memory of the people for ages
to come without any handiwork

I Thepe are more private schools
in Northampton county now than
at any one time in the recollection
of the "oldest inhabitants." There
are also mote public schools and
they are better attended.
More trained teachers are need
ed for our schools. ' As soon as we
can secure good teachors for all
our schools the people will vote
for longer school terms. The rea
son why North Carolina has con
tented herself with being behind
all other States and countries in
the civilized world in the length
of school terms is because we have
not had a sufficient number of
good, trained, efficient teachers.
The great interest now being man
ifested in our'schools is owing to
the effort our colleges, University
and State Normal School are mak
ing t& send out more and better
teachers.
The political campaign is now
opened and for the next two
months the great work of saving
the country will go bravely on.
The great issue before the people
of the United States todav is the
ml
money question and to settle that
requires the wisest statesmanship.
There is no need for neighbors
and friends to fall out and say hard
things about each other because
they differ on public questions.
It shows the weakness of your
cause to abuse all who may differ
with you on public questions. Let
us reason together, calmly and de
liberately, about the questions
that confront us and decide them
in a way that will bring the great
est good to the greatest number.

Baugham. the infant son of W. R.
and Kila J. Baugham, aged four
months and eleven days. Although
this dear little one had but few days
to spend on this earth having been
all of his short life Daturally of a
delicate constitution, yet he had
lived long enough for his parents to
become very much attached to him.

hie. But should they weep for their
loved one, since he who said, "Suffer
the little children to come unto me
and forbid them not for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven." hath taken
him from this world of trouble and
transplanted him into one of those
bright mansions above, where all is
joy ami peace foreverraore !
Nay, do not weep, but rather re
joice that you have one angel in
Heaven awaiting your arrival. And

the Convention has established
headquarters at Willards iWel and
the Coaimittee are active in their
work.
Much interest is manifested here
among North Carolinians in the
approaching election. The center of
gravity seems to be on the Senator
ial question, but however much in
terest friends of the respective can
didates may demonstrate, it is safe
to say that the result will be accept
ed as satisfactory. The fusion of
, Popul sts aud Republicans on
the State ticket will make it neces
sary for the Democrats to be active
from now to the closing of the polls
in November.
While some regret is expressed
that Messrs. Bun u. Grady, 'Williams'
and Alexander will not be in the
next Congress, their successors, res-
pectively, Messrs. Cook. Shaw. Gra.

welcomed by North Carolinians res

whatever we may deem best to pro

county and State.
