The Graded schools opened this morning with over five hundred schol ars. This is the second year of this, the best institution of any description that has ever beeu established in this city. There were present Editor J. J. Farriss, Rev. Mr. Alderman, A. F. Eshleman and a representative of the Raleigh News and Observer. After announcements by Supt. Geo. H. Crowell, the above named visitors made a few very appropriate remarks. The faculty this year will be the same as last except Miss Henryanna Hack ney, who is succeeded by Miss Corne lia Roberson, of Guilford College. Another teacher will doubtless have to be added to this excellent corps if the roll is increased any. Success to the graded schools of this city.

PRESIDENT WAS APPALLED By The Horrors Presented At Camp Wikoff. BY THE SIDE OF DYING HEROES. He Seizes Fever. Racked Soldiers By The Hand and Thanks Them For Their Gallant Fighting. President McKinley spent five hours inspecting Camp Wikoff Saturday. Columns have been written of the hor rors of the place, and the President's verdict is a forcible confirmation, for he decided that the best thing to do was to get the troops away from Mod- tauk Point as soon as possible. The volunteers will be sent home on fur loughs and he issued an order direct ing the regulars to return to their stations east of the Mississippi. From yesterday's Philadelphia Rec ord we get the following interesting account of the presidents visit to the sick soldiers: Miss Wheeler, a daughter of the General, happened to be in the first row of the hospital tents and she showed the President through her di vision. General Wheeler announced in each ward: "Boys, the President has come to see you," or "Soldiers, the President of the United States." Somo of the soldiers were still unconscious, some listlessly raised on their elbows, others feebly clapped their .hands. Mr. McKinley gently shooks hands with many, and at every cot he paused an instant and if he saw the sick man looking at him he bowed in a direct and personal way. In the second ward Sergeant John A. Alexander, Company D, First Illi nois, who has a fever, was rather startled by hearing General Wheeler announce the President. The sergeant half raised up on his cot. BEGGED TO GO HOME.' Mr. McKinley, attracted by the movement, took Alexander's hand and said: "I am sorry to see you sick, i nope tnat you are getting bet ter. " "Thank you; I think I shall get well." "Do you wish for anything?" in quired General Wheeler. "No I have everything good for me, 1 guess," Alexander replied, wearily, "But I wish I were home." "I hope that we may soon get you there," said Mr. McKinley. He had many such bits of talk with the men, and seemed to be in no hur ry. He almost outwore the patience of all his party by his slow-going through ward after ward. AT A SANTIAGO HERO'S COT. On the first bed in the second ward lay a soldier who was too ill to sit up. He stretched out his hand and at tempted to speak as he caught sight of the President, who noticing the efforts, squeezed down between the cots and grasped the man's hand. "You fought in Cuba?" he askd of the soldier, An affirmative nod was the only an swer the man could give. "You are a noble man, and your country will not forget you," con tinued the ' resident. Vice-President Hobart with his hands in his pockets, followed in a very democratic fashion, and occa sionally pptered a ward and shook hands with a soldier. WOMAN SCORES ALGER TO HIS FACE. While in the general hospital, Mrs. Hugo Lang, a volunteer nurse, step ped in front of the President, and after the exchange of pleasant greet ings, said: "Mr. President do you see those empty cots over there)"' "Why certainly," replied Mr. Mc Kinley. "Well, do you know," went on Mrs. Lang, "that sick soldiers are lying on the damp grass in tents who ought to be occupying these cots? It is true, but the sick soldiers are not permitted to occupy these cots. Why, I don't know." The President looked at Secretary Alger, the Secretary looked at Gen eral Wheeler, but not a word did any one answer. VISITS A DYING LIEUTENANT. When seemingly all the wards of the general hospital had been gone through and the President was about to get into a carriage Attorney Gen eral Griggs detained him. !'Miss Wheeler, has told me," said be, "of a Lieutenant Prado, who is in a tent back hereby himself, and he is in a dying condition. He has asked about your coming and Miss Wheeler has promised that you shall see him." "Certainly. Let us go to him," Mr. McKinley said. The others of the party discreetly remained 'butsi de the tent. The Presi dent reappeared with the nurse a minute or two later. His eyes were moist and downcast. After quitting the hospital President McKinly wa9 amused by Major Lebo showing him a copy of a bulletin that Major Hntchins, chief of the Bureau of Information, had posted in front of his tent as follows: "The Presi dent of the United States, Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines arrived in camp at 9 a. m. September 3, 1898. PRESIDENT'S 6-FOOT JUMP. As it was inconvenient to go back to the doors of the long tents, Mr. Mc Kinley would go through the frame work at the ends of the tents and jump down The general hospital is on a slope, and the. height of the floors from the ground increased with each ward. At Ward F the jump was nearly 6 feet. Mr. McKinley took it. Vice-President Hobart, who is somewhat of a bulky man, hesitated. "I balk here. Can't go over this huddle," he said. Neither would Secretary Alger, who bad taken all the jumps until then. But General Wheeler sprang lightly down. The day was hot. Mr. McKinley wore a black frock coat with a waistcoat. The perspiration streamed from his face. A glass of appollinaris was of fered to him, but he declined to drink, saying he was too warm. BEFORE 5000 SOLDIERS. He proceeded to the infantry plain. The men of the Ninth Massachusettes, the Firbt Illino's, the Eighth Ohio, the Thirteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Tenr.h regular infantry were assembled without arms. About 5000 stood in close order. Gen. Wheeler said: "The president of our great coun try has come here to greet the soldiers that marched sogallantly up San Juan Hill on July 1. He comes here to ex press the nation's thanks to these brave men. I wish to tell you that when the president sent me here 2 weeks ago to command this camp he enjoin ed me in the most emphatic language that I should, without regard to ex pense, exercise every and any author ity necessary to make comfortable this body of brave men who by their courage have raised this republic to the highest position among the great nations of the earth. I have the hon or and pleasure of introducing to you the president of the United States." THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. President McKinley said: "General Wheeler, Soldiers of Camp Wikoff, Soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps: I trust that you will put your hats on I am glad to meet you. I am honored to stand before you today. I bring you the gratitude of the nation to whose history you have added by your valor a new and glorious page. You have come home after two months of severe campaigning, whioh has em braced assault, siege and battle, so brilliant in achievement, so far-reaching in results, as to command the un stinted praise of all your countrymen. You had the brunt of the battle on land. BRAVERY NEVER EXCELLED. "You bore yourself with supreme courage, and your personal bravery, never before excelled anywhere, has won the admiration of your fellow cit izens and the genuine respect of all mankind, while your endurance under peculiar trial and suffering has given added meaning to your heroism .Your exertions made easy the conquest of Porto Rico under the resistless army commanded by Major General Miles, and behind you, to proceed at a mo ment's summons, were more than 200, 000 of your comrades ready to support you, disappointed that the opportuni ty which you had did not come to them, yet filled with pride at your well earned fame and rejoicing upon your victories. THANKS OF A PEOPLE, THEIRS. "You were on theline of battlejthey, no less than you, were on the line of duty. All have served their country in its need, all will serve it so long as they may be required, and all will for ever have the thanks and regard of a grateful people. "We cannot bid you welcome here today without our hearts going out to the heroes of Manila on sea and land, whose services and sacrifices, whose courage and constancy in that far dis tant field of operations have never been surpassed by any soldiers or sail ors the world over. GLORIOUS ARMY AND NAVY. "To the army and the navy, to the marines, o the regulars, to the vol unteers, and to that Providence which has watched over them all, tho nation today ia full of thanksgiving and praise. The brave officers and men who fell in battle and those who have died from exposure and sickness will live in immortal story and their mem ories will be perpetuated in the hearts and the history of a generous people, Continued on second page.

Great good is being accomplished for the cause of democracy and good government by the grand rallies and barbecues being gotten up in the dif ferent counties. The next one will be at Asheboro on Thursday of this week. Let the good work go on until our state is wrenched from the control of the corrupt men who are daily de bauching her fair name. Let the white men of all political creeds get together and remove this foul blot from the escutcheon of North Carolina. Fvery county should get up a rally and barbeaue and bring together and marshal the hosts of white -people of the state and get them interested and enlisted in the good work that is being carried on for the redemption of the Tarheel state. Good speakers, the best of North Carolina's noble men, entertain the people on these occasions and they should be kept up. Let old Guilford be the next county to fall in line in this work. .We can and must get a move on us. SHERflAN SAYS TOO EARLY To Decide About Taking the Ohio Governorship. By Wire to The Telegram. Washington, Sept. 5 Ex-Sec. Sher man authorizes a denial of the story which was published this morning to the effect that he informed Private Dalzell, of Columbus, of his determination to accept the governorship of Ohio. He says it is too early to decide upon such a course. He doesn't know if he will take part in the Ohio campaign. Big Business in August. The two features of the current bus iness news are especially significant. The bank clearings for August were not only the largest ever recorded for that'month, but were 23 per cent in excess of the total similar payments in August, 1892 a year of exceptional activity in trade. Average prices of commodities being lower than they were six years ago, the payments through banks necessarily repre sent a relatively greater increase in the exchange of such merchandise. In connection with this demonstration of the immensity of the country's bus iness during August we have the grat ifying statements made by R. G. Dun & Co. that business failures were con siderably smaller In that month than in any one month during the past five years. The biggest volume of business and the fewest commercial casulties com bine to make an August trade record to be proud of, and one that may be well regarded as a most hopeful au gury of prosperous conditions in the future.
