Details of the Proceedings. A Wilmington dispatch to Saturday'. naieign News and Observer says; "Tn Godwin "convention", waa call ed to order this morning at 10.15 o'clock at Lumina and by declaring that Godwin should have eleven of New Hanover's votes, and six of Cum berland's, nominated Hon. Hanni. bal L. Godwin, of Harnett,' on the first ballot. Supporters of Godwin declare that no matter who makes the race for Congress In this district that H. L. Oodwin will, be Jn the fight and that no effort will be. made to" have the matter submitted to the State Execu tive Committee, - There is np doubt about the Repub licans putting out a nominee, and It now looks like a three-cornered fight Godwin's forces declare that be can win over tea field, no matter, bow many are In the, race, and In fact this declaration was made by J. C. Clifford, of Harnett, in placing Godwin" In nom ination. ' ... ; . . Although the , "convention"' - was called to order at 10:16 an adjourn ment was taken for an hour to allow the Committees on Permanent Organ ization and Credentials to complete their work. : When the body recon vened, George H. Bellamy was made permanent chairman. The Committee on Credential, and on this committee Cumberland and New Hanover were not allowed a representation, though Its chairman announced that the com mlttee found that Godwin had 2i votes in the New Hanover convention and that the strength was demanded, but not given, and that Godwin's strength was not given in Cumberland. ' He then announced the delegates from the two counties, naming eleven addi tional delegates from New Hanover and at the head of the New Hanover delegation was placed J. H. Sykes, a man with a police blotter record. The chairman then ordered a roll-call, of the counties for nominations and J. C. Cliffprd, of Harnett, placed In nomina tion H. L. Godwin, and in doing so, said: "You may place the Republicans against him; you may place a Demo crat against him, and label him the nominee, but Hannibal L. Godwin will clean the field." , i . Godwin's was the only name placed before the convention. By taking a part of New Hanover's vote and Cum berland's, the first ballot resulted: Clark, 34.96; McClammy, 31.43; Godwin argue Just as strenuously to the Con trary, and seem determined to carry the fight before the people. Dire things are predicted for the Demo-. era tic party by many leaders, some being of the opinion that it may mean a Republican Congressman from this district. Godwin's forces are confi dent, however, and seem to think they will have no trouble In cleaning up the field. What Godwin will do If the action -. of the Godwin convention should be declared irregular and of no effect is an open question, the opinion prevailing, however, that he will make the race no matter what takeB place. There is no denying that. Godwin has wonderful following in the rural sec tions . and if he cornea out-against the regular nominee there will be many to predict that he will be elected 134.66; Cook, 34.68; MeKinnon, 16.11; Brown, .10; MeKinnon, 16.11. Neces acary to nominate, 126. Congressman Godwin was then call ed upon to make a speech, and was escorted into the hall by a delegation named by . the chairman. He . said it was the third time he had appeared before the regular. Democratic conven tion to represent the Sixth district in the National Congress, and that he expected to go forth to battle In this campaign and would promise a greater victory than the district had even given before. ' , t . ,; , The "convention" then proceeded to elect an executive committee, a mem ber btiug cnoseu iroui' each county, after which the convention was declar ed adjourned. There are now two distinct or ganizations and two- nominees in the Sixth District, although political lead er's, at least the great majority, of them, Ideclare tfyat the action . of the Godwin forces Teally was -a bolt and that the second gathering "was not a regular convention.

" IXTH DISTRICT C0NGRE9 , ' 8I0NAL MUDDLE, : Various Suggestions for Setting Matter .; V Right, Various are the suggestions for ar riving at a proper solution of the Sixth District Congressional muddle, but all are agreed on one point, and that Is to do the best thing for the Interests of the Democratic party. The editor of the Observer, being a member of, the State Executive Com mittee, -to whom, some wish to refer the matter, of course cannot, with pro priety, express his opinion publicly; but here are some of the 'suggestions of prominent citizens of Cumberland: . That the matter be left to e State Executive, Committee to adjust ; That it be left to the State Executive Committee, with the members from the Sixth District eliminated. . ' uThat the whole matter' be sent to a primary throughout the district, open to all comers. ' - lv -. ;.'v: .- That it be left to a primary, with the five candidates who went Into the late conventions, to be voted on: - : That the Sixth District convention be. reconvened as at the beginning, with the State Executive Committee or a sub-committee thereof, as Interpret ers or judges of the plan of organiza tion. -.,.'. r;.;,:; -:. Here are a few op the, cofiments from outside: v.. ' W. B. Cooper, in the Wilmington 3tar of today: : ' . '' ' ' "For several weeks past you have been giving us the. very best of ad vice through your various editorials, which I believe the business public ap preciates. . ".' . . : . "Your editorial in Sunday's issue on the 'Political Situation in the Sixth Congressional, . District" is certainly very timely, and it Is to be hoped that the State Democratic Executive Com mittee will hy all means look Into our' family quarrel, and endeavor to get the matter adjusted to the satisfaction it all concerned. It will never do to allow this matter to become any more .icute than it now la It may be the wise course to start entirely anew In this district, and let ail the candi- lates who care to do so, enter a Dem ocratic primary, jtnd then surely all of us can give our hearty support to the successful candidate, whoever he may be. ' '1 do" not claim to be a 'Solomon' In political or other. affairs, but if I may be allowed a suggestion I wou'd say, that as a plain business proposition, t seems to me that the only fair way In politics as in business,., is to let every man appeal directly to the peo ple, in other words, a legalized primary for alt political partiea would seem ab solutely fair for our future guidance, commencing with the Governor or even with the United States Senators, and comin? right along down to every office in the gift of the people." The Wilmington Star discusses the deplorable difference between Demo crat sin the Sixth District, and as Its leading editorial on Sunday morning. says: It Is indeed' a most unfortunate sit uation which has ' deyeloped In the Sixth Congressional District of North Carolina, one which la vital to party success in November and one which should challenge' the prompt interven tion of'the State Executive Committee, without regard to 'personal ambition or technicalities." I i. '. Editor Grantt, of the Whlteville News-Reporter, who was a delegate- at-large from the county of Columbus to the Congressional Convention in the Sixth District, urges both Clark and Godwin to refer their claims to the Democratic State Executive Com mittee for arbitration and adjustment Party 8hould Lay Corrective Finger. The Charlotte Observer says that each side claims to be regular," and adds editorially: "It Is stated that there is some talk of not allowing the State Executive Committee to arbitrate the difficulty, the consequence of which would be two Democratic candidates at r the polls in November, " with some possi bility of a Republican victory.. The primary and convention were matters for the sole concern of the Democrats the counties of New Hanover, Brunswick, Bladen, Columbus, Cum berland, ,Robeson and Harnett, and no outside interference would have been proper. This proposition of running two bitterly antagonistic candidates under the same Democratic banner for the same honorable office, la, on the other hand, a matter In which the party ; throughout the State should have a corrective' finger.- The entire, campaign In the district from the first announcements months ago down to the present time has reflected small honor upon the bemocratlc name, and there should be little question of its having Vone far enough. The Sixty;, second Congress Is likely to have a Democratic majority lh the House, but the margin will hardly .j be large enough to make the throwing away of a dls:r!ct with a normal majority of 6,000 a aafe or even sane proceeding. If the Sixth District Democrats find themselves unable to reach an agree ment, It will be the duty of the Execu tive Committee to bring at least a semblance of harmony by settling the matter finally as to. who Is the right ful Democratic nominee. ' After such a verdict has been rendered there need be no great tear that any considerable body of Democrats will dispute It" " Msrrlagse at Roslln. , . . '.. s Mr. John Smith, J.

This con vention was called to order by Chair man George H.

'An ad journment was taken for ' two hours during which time-the executive com mittee: was summoned, together py Its secretary and went through the form of j deposing Mr. .Bellamy as chairman of the ' Executive , Committee. Mr. Springer, who -is police commlslsoner of Wilmington, mounted the desk In front of Chairman Bellamy while the convention was in session and with the aid of seven of his policemen from Wilmington coerced the regulars into silence and thereupon went through th,e form of convention resulting In the nomination of Mr. Clark. As soon ad, these insurgents got out of the way Chairman Bellamy, who had held, bis chair during the entire interrup tion with the delegates who declined to recognize the ' police convention, proceeded as though nothing had hap pened, gave to Godwin the , exact strength which he ; received In the primaries, or had in the county con ventions and nothing more, which gave him the nomination on the first ballot, J.

The assassination last night, of for-, mer Mayor A. H, Bousman, aged 35, of Rldgeway,. Va., who was killed by the explosion of a dynamite stick hurled under the hummock, in which he was sleeping In his front yard, has aroused and mystified the inhabitants of this village and the surrounding country. i The recent shortage of $80,000 of the Russo-Chlnese bank in 'New York has suddenly, appeared to be $600,000 in bonds and a general alarm has been sent out for the arrest of the cashier, ' It Is now "believed by Scotland Yard offlciaU that the fugitive, DrrCrippen, la aboard the Southern Pacific liner Montrose, which Is due to arrive at Montreal on the 80th of July.' i 1 Bankers ln New York held a meet ing yesterday and announced a new plan to prevent cotton frauds by tale flood Position for Teachers, By telegraph to Observer. , Spokane, Wash., July 26. Positions await several thousand teachers in the Lpubllc schools In Washington, Ore- guu, iuhuo ana moniana, according 10 Bruce M. Watson, superintendent of schools In Spokane, who says that ful ly 600 will be required In this city next fall. There were 448 teachers on th city's pay rolls last season, at sala ries ranging from $55 to $90 a month. " One explanation offered for this un usual demand is' that hundreds of teachers have left the profession the last few years to marry, while others entered other . lines, of work In the Northwest .t ' Hundreds of teachers from eastern states come to Washington every year who are' qualified to' teach when they arrive, having taught In other schools," said Dr, H. W. Allen, chairman of. the board of education of Spokane," and this is true of Oregon, Idaho, Mon tana and other states In the. West. No statistics. are available as to the exact number of teachers . who obtain posi tions here each year, but it is probably sq.ys to say that 33 per cent of next year's force In this state will consist of teachers who are from eastern and central states, or of those who hays had no previous exxperlence.' ,. V "Statistics" compiled in Iowa show that the teaching force of thafatate changes every , three years,' while -of the' 9,683. teachers receiving certifi cates in Kansas last year 3,369 had no previous experience. - The many new schools opened' In Washington and other northwestern states each year, and the added number of teach ers needed each succeeding year in all of our rapidly growing cities and towns, causes an unusual demand for recruits to the teaching staffs.

Souden' GERMAN 8CHOOL8. Educational Review. , The achedules of German schools are aranged with a view . of chang ing more rapidly from one subject to another, thus providing ' that var iety which the youthful mind 'craves and also on the principal that the harder subjects, such as mathematics and grammar, which require more con generated attention are put at the earlier hours of the day, when the nUod is fresh, to be followed by his tory, and reading. Latin: , French or English authors, and finally at the emi of the school day by the wholly t'vhnical subjects, such as drawing, singing and gymnastics. The -aim of the German teacher is also to teach as much as possible in olaia, especially in the lower forms, nnd tit reduce a much as possible all outside work. He is assisted in this by a classroom 'well equipped with desks in which the boys can keep all their school books, together with writ ing material, so that tbey can be set to do written work at any time un der ropei conditions. It is true that there are not as many blackboards as in an American ' classroom, but the Grrmah teacher prefers to appeal to the ear rather than to the eye, to the head rather than to the fingers. . As a r -ult the boy Is encouraged to do nuiHt of his work in class; b has to study at home only what in the way of vocabularies or paradigms he has not been able to learn in class. The curriculums of the German schools are largely responsible, of course, for their superior scholarship. I should like to call attention to the following points: : Languages are begun' at a much earlier age than with us. In a gym nasium Latin begins at the age of 9, French at the age of 12, and English is begun at nine and the other mod ern languages at twelve, these being the ages better adapted to the, study ot languages. They are begun with a lp.rge nwiiber of recitations a week; Latin with 8 and sometimes 10, Greek with 5,-French with 6 or 4. As the elementary study of languages is largely a matter of memory the les sons ought to come so often, and at such short Intervals that the child has no chance to forget' from one recita tion to another. Then natural sciences are taught throughout the whole school course; that is to say, in the lower forms or grades botany, zoology and physiology are taught by an elementary descrip tive method adapted to the age of the child and appealing to hla interest and Imagination. The more 1 exact study of physics and chemistry being begun at the age of sixteen, vfhen it can be based on the boy's better gen eral and mathematical knowledge. - History and geography, generally coupled, are credited throughout the school course, with three or four re citations a week. German boys learn something about physical and politi cal geography, about ancient and modern, national and universal his tory; whereas it is quite possible for an American boy to pass through school and college without ever having studied American history. The place of the vernacular in the German curriculum is well expressed by the dictum generally acted upon that German is to be the center of all instruction. On this particular principle German is, if possible, taught to a class by a man who teaches it in some other important subject and nearly every instructor of a German secondary school teaches German be sides his main subject, so that all are equally interested in maintaining a high standard In the use of the vernac ular. Great importance is attached to the German compositions and themes, which by parents and teach ers considered the highest test of a boy's ability, and to the memorizing of a long list ot German poems which have also been learned by their pa rents and grandparents and which in their entirety constitute the common ground on which all educated Ger mans meet, just as Latin was the com mon ground on which all educated could meet a century or two ago. A8PARAGUS GROWI Boston Transcript In the recent number of the monthly bulletin of the state board of agricul ture, Frank Wheeler, of Concord, dis cusses growing and marketing aspara gus. The reader who bo familiarizes himself with all the points presented that he can give them practical appli cation, will find himself possessed of a liberal education, yet one that may be worth his while to acquire. There is no vegetable more wholesome or more marketable than asparagus. It is ap parently easily grown when the right start is made with seed, soli and prop er preparation, and full directions un der these heads are all given. Like all vegetable growths of value, asparagus has Its enemies, the chief among them being the rust which some years ago did great damage, but a variety introduced from France, and called in this country the Palmetto, is more resistent to this form of blight tlan most other kinds and has become of good market qualities is an Impor tant consideration, and may be vital to success. The soil most favorable to the production of the plant is sandy If am of smooth texture, wee from course grit, gravel, or stones, 8 to 12 laches deep, and underlaid with a smooth, yellow, loamy subBoil, chang ing to a close sand at a depth of 3 feet or more, and it Is recommended that the field selected should be given over to some crop requiring high cul tivation, a year or two before a per manent bed Is laid out The year previous to setting the roots the land should be treated to a dressing of a ton of lime to the acre, or a larger amount of wood ashes, as asparagus is very sensitive to acid soil. During the autumn, previous to setting, the ground should be plowed to a depth of 9 inches or more, pro vided that it does not bring up too much poor subsoil. In the winter or early spring barnyard fertilizer is to be spread broadcast liberally, and when preparing the ground the chemi cals to be used should be applied in the same way. The market calls for' large grades of asparagus, and these are more profitable, because It is as easy to cut and pack a large stain as a small one, and the bulk develops much-more rapidly. During the last 15 years, says Mr. Wheeler, the demand tor asparagus has grown faster than the supply. Like almost all products under similar con ditions, this has kept the price high. It Is sold at practically luxury figures though there Is favorable soil enough in New England to grow at a profit, even at reduced prices, ten times as much as is now sent to market One reason more of it Is not grown Is that the average farmer has not been train ed to give that nice attention to de tails that success in tne development of a somewhat delicate specialty re quires. But It presents an opportunity to hundreds of land-owners whose acres are now but superficially tilled. "Get good etock," is the concluding counsel: ''Give it plenty 01 room, ieea It high, give it the best of care, put up ih nroduct nonesuy. ret a renutauon tor good 'gran,' and the reward will be satisfactory." - , , , OUR RIDICULOUS CLOTHING. Baltimore Sun. ; . 1 Much of the' suffering that Baltl moreans endure in the hot weather is to be blamed, not so much on the heat itself as upon their hunkerous refusal to' abandon heavy, uncomfortable clothing. ' The. man who wears a starched collar on a day as hot as yes terday richly deserve his discomfort. Stiff collars are for cool weather. When the murcury is at 95 they are as ridiculous as waistcoats., or pulse warmers. , ' , . . '. -, ' The white folks' of the tropics face higher temperatures - than we ever know, and yet they, manage to be com fortable. The reason is plain: they dress properly. The orthodox garb for the men of those parts consists of a cotton stilt 'of dead white, without a waistcoat. The collar of the coat is Cit high, in the military fashion, and In consequence no stiff, starched col lar is ueci-seary. There w'ould be, in deed, no Rnrhorage for such a collar it It were wurn. for it is .not custom ary to wear a shirt beneath the coat, White canvas shoes, without socks, complete the outfit. It is cool, it-is comfortable, it completely covers the wtore?. and it is neat and clean In appearance.. ''ATsuii of white, made in this fashion, costs from $2.60 to $5 Thf- dweller iu the tropics orders them by the Cozen and changes twice a day. Why doesn't pome enterprising tail or introduce this sane and healthful garb to Baltimore? Half a dozen yeara ago the crash' suit had a brief vogue, but it soon went out of fashion, for the coat was always cut with long lapels and so it was necessary to wear a shirt and starched collar beneath it The.trr.pical suit, with its military collar, U lar more comfortable.. In cldentallv, It Is much cheaper and its material seems to yield to laundering more readily than the rebellious and shapeless crash. The men of the tropics seek com fort more than splendor In their gar ments, even when they are on dress parade. The tropical dress suit, for example, consists of a pair of very thin pantaloons, usually black, and a white Jacket without tails, much re sembling, in cut, the black jacket sometimes worn by waiters. The lap els are long and there are no buttons, and so it is necessay to wear a shirt, but that shirt Is always of soft white silk and its collar is low and rolling. A thin white necktie is worn, and in stead of the usual, waistcoat, which is Intolerably hot in summer, It is com mon to wear a gaudy Spanish sash of silk. The result is a cool and extreme ly attractive costume, the total cost of which with white duck slippers, Is seldom more than $15. Fayette Markets Revised Dally, COTTON. Reported by Chas. Halgh.
