Tim Faculty a Fine One Throughout. Session Begins Monday. The Instructors and Their High Qualifications. Educational advantages are of vastly more importance to the community than any public question which can engage our attention; we therefore hope our people will come together to the help of those who are giving di rection in this work. The Kdenton Academy will begin its Fall session next Mon day, Sept. 16th, under new man agement, and we bespeak for it the patronage of every parent in Kdenton, who should see to it that the roll of pupils is what it ought to be and that eveiy scholar attend punctually from the first day to the last.

C, for the past three years, is to take charge ot the harbor boat Hudson at New York. The Hudson was built in 1893, and is considered the finest boat in the service. Broke a Needle off in her Breast. Last Saturday night a negro man who pulls a footboat be tween Norfolk and Portsmouth, went home and beat his wife in a shameful manner, cutting her head badly and then broke a large needle off in her breast and left her. Sunday the woman suffered untold misery. The scoundrel, after seeing what he had done, made his escape. Threw an Open Knife.

M iss Grace Wilkius, the young lady of Norfolk who taught Elo cution at the Kdenton Academy last session, will conduct the same department during the coming session. She has many years of successful experience and her work is too well known in Kdenton for us to describe it. Miss Sophie Martin, a young lady who for two years has led the music at the North Carolina Teachers Assembly, will have charge of the Music department She is quite a fine performer and a most excellent instructor. Prof. Graves, the Principal,will have charge of the Acedemic Department. He is a native Carolinian, and a graduate of Wake Forest College, where he received very hign honors. He has been teaching four years in some of the best educational in stitutions in the State. He is a scholar of rare attainments and an instructor of unexcelled abil ity. Other teachers will be added if the school should demand them WONGO GIVES UP. In a fight before the Eureka Athletic Club of Washington, D. C, between Tack Handlev. of Philadelphia, and Frank Wongo, the Indian of Norfolk, on Wed nesday night, Wongo was forced to throw up the sponge after 23 rounds of fierce fighting on ac count of a broken wrist. Until he broke his wrist, Wongo had rather the best of the "go." Died at His Wife's Feet. As William Ross, his wife and three children reached the mid dle of Nicfcajack trestle, near Atlanta, Ga., on the Southern railway, last Tuesday, a freight train swept around a curve and on the trestle. Mrs. Ross and two children jumped. Ross tossed a young child into a clump of bushes fifteen feet below and started to jump himself, but was too late. The engine struck him and killed him. He fell at his wife's feet. She and the chil dren were not seriously hurt. Not up With Their Reputations. A cable dispatch from Lon don says: All except the most depraved cynics will grieve to learn of the sad indictment of the St. Bernard dogs, which are sup posed to be trained to rescue be lated travelers in the Alps. These noble beasts, which every body has been told possess fidel ity more than human, have been accustomed to treachery by cer tain mountaineers. Thus one traveler writes: "I was approaching the sums mit of Piz Languard in company with a friend when a huge St. Bernard met us on a narrow path. With a very transparent assump tion of good feeling toward us the brute ran at us and tipped us over the ledge. Providentially, the next ledge was near and we fell softly on the snow. Then the fiendish ingenuity of the brute became apparent. Instead of attempting our rescue, as the dogs in foolish old legends do, this great cur busied himself with the luncheon basket, which had burst with the impact, and ate our cold chicken, while we, with some deft alpenstock work, at length retrieved our safety the sooner these mountain pests are extinguished the better." The man who is out of debt will live longer than the man who is not. If possible try to outlive the mortgage. What are you doing for the coming fair? THE EXPOSITION. Will be Opened on September i8'h The Atlanta Exposition will be opened on September iSth. T:ic buildings are all finished and the grounds are practically ready. Only a few more days' work will be necessary tosprea ! tiie gravel which is to cover the walks. The steam is on now in the plant and the several engines and all the exhibits in the ma chinery hall will be ready promptly on time. The electric fountain will be playing. The exhibits in the Government building are already in place. The agricultural building, the fine art buildings, the electricity building, the transportation and machinery buildings and the manufacturers' building, will all be ready for the public day. There will be some stragglers, as at all Expositions, but the major ity of the exhibits will be ready for the opening. There never has been a time in the history of Expositions when a more thor oughly complete Exposition will be thrown open to the pub lic on the opening day. THE NEGRO PROBLEM. EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS DES LIVERED AT THE NEW BERNE COLORED FAIR THE SOUTH HAS DONE MORE FOR THE NE GRO THAN THE NORTH EDIH CATING THEM KY TAXATION. Assistant Princioal I. W. Mc- Donald, of the Plymouth Colored State Normal School, delivered an address at the Newbern Col ored Fair, from which the fol lowing extract was published by the New Berne Journal: I firmly believe that what we now enjoy, we enjoy it through the marvelous providence of God and there is much expected of us that must be accomplished be fore we become a mighty people. We must act our part in the future development of America. North and South alike feel this. They' are now one, and I hope one and inseparable forever. In sixteen years the North do nated sixteen million dollars for the uplifting and elevation ot the negro. But look at the South. The South in sixteen years have tax ed themselves more than twice that, or thirty-seven million dol lars for the education of the ne gro. Now that is right and I want i . 1 1 you witn me to cneer ana ieei that our strongest friends are in the South. Some Southern States support asylums for the deaf, dumb, blind, and insane. Some have Normal schools, Universities, and Training schools. North Carolina supports seven Normal schools, at an outlay of nearly twelve thousand dollars, Vir ginia has given her ten thousand dollars to Hampton, and Alaba-j ma gives her ten thousand to Tuskegee. When we consider the pros trate condition of the wdiites in ! the South at the surrender of: Lee, and in the light of what they have done towards our education, f 1. 1-' - A.' we are lorcea to exciaim, great and magnanimous is the South! Yet there are many who op- 1 -A? 11 pose negro eaucauon on tue ground that the whites pay two- thirds ot the taxes. We are com pelled to acknowledge that the whites own the property of the South, but the South must acknowledge that the negro is the laborer of the South and a large producer as well as con sumer. He produces more than one billion dollars worth of farm products annually, not estimat ing other products. Then it is the negro's labor, his muscle that creates the school fund. I believe that the honest white men of the South such as Hon. Thos. T. Jarvis, Supt. S. M. FinjerrCol. J. S. Carr, of Dur ham, Bishop Haygood, of Geor gia, and many others will see that every child of this beautiful Southland shall b trained for manhood and to bring blessings to her proud and magnanimous people. Besides what the white man, North aud South, has done in educating our race, we hatfe nearly two hundred high schools, seminaries, colleges and profes sional schools, seminaries, of colleges and professional schools supported and controlled entirely by negro skill, industry and money.

Defender won the .'.rst on International Yacht i.ices the Oil Saturday last, in truly American fashion by finishing far ahead of the English challenger, Valky rie III, and giving evidence of outclassing Lord Dunraven's boat in almost anv kind of Weather. There were strange features connected with the race for the America's cup, not the least be ing the general doubt expressed during the first fourteen miles of the course as to which boat was in the lead. It was nip and tuck from the first gun signal until within a short distance of the mark and then defender caught the breeze, and to the delight of thousands simply sailed away from her rival. From that mo ment she went out, increasing her lead to the end and winning by the surprising margin of EIGHT MINUTES ANI1 KOKTV-NINE SECONDS. Such work as this in what was denominated Valkyrie weahter is calculated to satisfy the vacht shams on this side of j A the water to their hearts content and lend fear to the minds of those who had hoped for a re versal of the American form and the winning of the cup by the Britans. SECOND RACE. The second race which was a thirty mile spin over a triang ular course, and perhaps . the best test of the relative merits of the yachts, was ruined just as the boats crossed the starting line by the Valkyrie fouling the Defen der. Had both held their course in the start there would have been no trouble, but the anxiety of the Brittish skipprr to get his boat over tne line nrst ana to uie windward oi the enemy made it a question if he would not cross be fore, the starting gun sounded. To prevent such a piedicament the Valkyrie bore away a trifle, and eased out her sheets. The main boom of the Britisher swept over the deck of the De fend.r, carrying away the top mast shroud of the starboard side and tearing out the jaws of the spreader. The topmast cracked and was badly sprung. Just as the crash came the starting signal was given and Valkyrie sped away like a rock et. Defender was luried in the wind, the jib topsail lowered, the wreckage removed and Mr. Iselin decided to continue the race. Probably a couple of minutes Came Over to sc. Valkyri. feet) Bcat were wasted making repaiis be fore the boat continued on her course. A protest flag was dis played and the committee boat showed an answering pennant. Then the gallant Defender and her plucky crew went in pursuit of the English cutter. It was a splendid day for the race, but the weakened topmast of the Defender prevented her from carrying the sail required for such a breeze, and though she was forced to carry less canvass than the British boat, made quite a considerable gain and finished but forty-seven seconds behind. The Defender protests the Valkyrie on the ground that she bore down on her just before reaching the starting line, there by causing a foul, which result ed in the carrying away of her Continued on Second Page. I 1 Lame ST. ANN'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. St. Ann's Roman Catholic church, located on the corner of Broad and Albemarle streets, in this city, an il lustration of which will be found on another page of this paper, was built in 185S. At that time, there were only a very few Catholics in Edentou, and the prospects for the erection of a house of worship were very discouraging, but the zeal and christian devotion of Mrs. Mary E. Richardson and the Misses Heath overcamt the obstacles. The lot, upon which the edifice now stands was donated by Mrs. Richardson. The brick of which it was built were made upon the lot by Messrs. Richard Keogh and Joseph Godfrey, the contractors. The corner-stone was laid in July '58 by Rt. Rev. P. N. Lynch, then Bishop of Charleston, s.c. upon which occa sion he preached an eloquent sermon. Since that time several learned Priests have visited Edenton, among them Cardinal Gibbons, who came when Bishop of Richmond and Vicar Apostol ic of North Carolina. SHE JUMPED THE BRIDGE. Mrs. Clara M'Arthur Took Risky Mfthod to Earn Money. a Mrs. Clara McArthur, the young woman who attempted to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge ten days ago. but was prevented from doing so by' the police, dropped on quietly in the dark ness at 3:30 Wednesday morning, and she is now lying at Hudson Street Hospital, New York City; a prisoner under formal charge of attempted suicide. Although when she was picked up she was unconscious, she had apparently entirely recovered from the ef fects of her jump by 7 o'clock. The latest bridgejumperseems to have been moved to the feat not so much by desire for noto riety as by her wish to earn a living for her husband, who is a railroad man out of work, and her 5 year-old child. The man has been without work for some time, and the family has been living in poverty. Meanwhile as the rent fell behind and the cupboard grew barer, according to the story she told when arrest ed by the bridge police on mak ing her previous attempt to jump, her mind had been inflamed by persons who told her how easily she could earn 100 a week by jumping from Brooklyn bridge and afterward aDoearme in a appearing: 1 i museum. Mrs. McArthur was driven on the bridge in a furniture van from the Brooklyn end at about 3:20 o'clock. She was dressed in man's clothing, consisting of a pair of trousers, blue woolen sweater, covered with a common blue jumper, stockings and heavy shoes. The stockings were much too large for her and were filled with sand in order to give the necessary w eight to her feet and prevent her from turning over in the air. Will Add Another Star. Another star is to be added to the American flag, which will be the forty-fifth. The new star will represent Utah. It will be placed to the right of the fourth row from the top. The order for the addition of the star is acs companied by one charge in the size of colors. Heretofore the standard has been six feet by five. The new order makes th regulation size five feet six inches by four feet five inches. The new flags are to be made of the finest American silk, and will be very handsome. The following is reported as guaranteed to be accurate. It is from the Detroit Fret Press : "X kiss Unuttered Is bread Unbuttered." Over the duor we liud upon a tna ble tablet the following inscription: The Lord Is in his HjI v Temple let all the Earth keep silent before Him. lleb. 1 1 : 20 Erected by the zeal and energy of Rev. Charles J. Crogan. 1S5S. Its interior is beautiful. It has a large altar and many superb paintings and pieces of statuary. To the rear and above the high altar is suspended the painting which represents the cru cifixion together with all the actors and painful surroundings of the awfully tragic scene in which the principal figure, the Son of God, announced to a redeemed world, "it is finished." For several years services have been held very irregularly, holding same only whenever a visit could be secured from some neighboring priest, the membership being too small to support a regular minister. Services are now held once a month by Rev. Father I F Quinu, of New Berne. Membership is yet small, but it has increased dur ing the past year or two. THE SIAMESE TWINS. SO MI? OF TH1UR DKSCKXDUNTS 1. 1 VI? IN THK NORTH CARO LINA MOUNTAINS. A few miles from Mount Airy, N. C, were the homes of the famous Siamese twins, Kng and Chang, who were born in Siam of Chinese parents in 181 1. These twins traveled all over the world in charge of their mana ger and proprietor, Mr. Bunker, whose name they finally as sumed, as told by the Flemings burg TvnesDemocrat. They came at last into Surry county sight-seeing. They declared that it was the grandest country they had ever seen, and, having already made a decent fortune, they decided to buy property and settle permanently in Surry. They met and fell in love with Miss Adelaide Yates, of Wilkes, an adjoining county. Miss Yates was in an awkward pre dicament, beloved by both, but neither could tell of his affection without the other hearing it. Finally the matter was settled by MissSallie Yates, a sister of Miss Adelaide, consenting to become the bride of one and Miss Ade laide the other. The parents of the Misses Yates strenuously objected to the double marriage, but the young ladies were not to be deterred, so they eloped, met their lovers on the bank of a little stream on the roadside near their home, and, a preacher being present, they were quietly married. T h c two couples settled within two miles of Mount Airy, and for several years lived together. Owing to domestic quarrels, however, two homes were found necessary, and each built a comfortable home. They lived alternate weeks at each other's homes and each raised a large family of children, some of whom still live and are among the most prosperous and highly respected people in Surry county. They were probably the most wonderful of all human phenomena. They lived to an advanced age, and were clever, lawsabiding men. It is said that they would sometimes have their little quarrels, and one would threaten to kick the other over the fence. In 1874 Eng, who had been in failing health, died very suddenly. I n d e e d, on awakening one morning his brother, Charfg, found that Eng had died during the night. Phy sicians were summoned, but be fore they arrived Chang had died, and they were buried as they had lived, side by aide. There is nothing to prevent anyone concocting a mixture and calling it "sarsaparilla," and there is nothing to prevent anyone spending good money testing the stuff; but prudent people, who wish to be sure of their remedy, take only Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and get cured.
