to Prevent the Attack. .
A novel drill Is being made by
the United States.navy along the
coasts from New York to Maine.
Admiral Pillsbury, with a part
of our sea fighters known as the
White Squadron, is to make a
sham atta'ck on some point along
the coast of New England-.
Admiral Higginson, with a well
equipped fleet known as the Blue
Squadron, is to be on the alert
and will- try to prevent his fleet
from landing. No shots will be
lired except as signals to indi
cate that the sham enemy has
been discovered. . Certain rules
govern to determine whether a
successful attack could have
been made."
If the attacking fleet can drop
in upon some unfortified place
and be there for as much as six
hours undiscovered it will be
accorded the victory butif discov
ered in less time than six hours
from the landing it will be ac
counted defeated.
The greatest secrecy of the
movements is kept. There is no
way to guess when nor where
the enemy will be upon a place.
One day of the play is past
with no appearance of the at
tacking fleet. .
FifthDaj of the fnstitatt
The fifth day of the Tnstttute
was opened with devotional ex-
ercises by Rev. WA.Lutz.
Prof.Lefitz lectured m geogra-
phy, the importance of beginning
the study of local geography
and teaching tlie children to lo
cate places of interest, commer
cial, religious and historic, in
their county and State, by giv
ing them imaginary excursions
through different sections of the
State, familiarizing themselves
with the products, resources,
railway systems, manufacturing
industries, etc. lie. drew a beau
tiful map of the State and taught
from it.
Prof. Jones then took up arith
good management. It otfers'ttie

lie advocated taxation for the
increase of the .school terms.
Thirty cents on the property and
DO cents oh tho poll, lie said,'
would double the 'ength of the
school term. Tle country boy
has every advantage ovr the
town boy except in the. matter
of education. Increase the ef
ficiency of the schools and he
will outstrip the world.
Mr. Thompson was cheered
vigorously and doubtless made a
fine impiession.
Col. P B Means then spoke at

BLACKBURN MEETS KLUTTZ.
And the Drummer Boy Marches to His
Own Funeral.
Sparta, N. C, Aug. 21. Hon.
Theo. P Kluttz and E S Black
burn met here in joint discussion.
It was with some effort that Mr.
Blackburn's friends induced him
to meet Mr. Kluttz, but the
"drummer boy" was finally
pulled into it. Kluttz's speecli
was one of the most able pre
sentations of national and State
issues ever heard here. Mr.
Blackburn's speech was one of
prejudice and his only plea was
"prosperity," while he praised
the independent movement and
abused what he termed "rings."
Truly, Mr. Kluttz used him up
cleanly and nicely. Special to
the News and Observer.

Mr. Joe Morgan Killed At Lynchburg.
Mr. Albert Morgan, of Forest
Hill, received a telegram from
Lynchbuif? this'morning stating
that his son Joe Morgan was
killed there last night by the
train. At this time the father
of the young man has been ia
abfeto hear any particulars as
to the committeemen present.
He plead for the 55 per cent,
of the children not in the schools.
He claimed that we do not
need among us any such parents
as will not sehd to the schools.
Welcome them to moye out.
They are a burden on us and
their ignorant children will be a
like burden. We are governed
by majorities and ignorance
should form no part 'of these ;
majorities.
Three objects should be kept
in view, increased attendance,
more money for the schools and
better prepared instructors.
The boy that will not walk one,
two or three miles to school is
apt to walk further in life when
if educated he might ride.
Two teachers In a school are
better than one. The work can
be classified and the two can be
more efficient. Me would havo
a male at the head of such school
but would recommfciud a lady in
charge of the smaller children.
They are naturally better
adapted to the work and tbe
to how the accident occurred.
The remains of the young man children Jake to them better.

Explosion Kills Eisht.
Eight men were killed and a
number were hurt on the 20th by
an explosion of a paper mill near
Wilmington, Delaware.
The consolidation of districts,
where practical, enables the
country schools to enjoy more
nearly the advantages of the
graded school system. It makes
the selection of teachers accord
ing to adaptation more easy and
renders it less difficult to secure
or bravado kind but simply a
willingness to discharge every
duty most scrupulously. He
would practically have marched
into a cannons mouth if it had
been duty.
When the war was over Mr.
Cress concluded to try his fot -tune
in the central West.
He is now the possessor of
nearly 300 acres of land near
Hillsboro with all the stock and
implements necessary for tho
farm.
He married and has reared
four sons and one daughter.
This daughter was the last to
cheey the parental home and
complete the a-nbition for pos
terity of both sexes.. She is 19
years old and with one brother
is yet a part'of a happy family
circle, threesons having married.
Mr. Cress, too, knows noU the
loss of a member of his family.
