Died of typhoid fever in this place last Saturday, July 18, 1891, Mr. Preston Bynum, son ot Rev. W. S. Bynum.and grandson of ex Judge W. P. Bynum, of Charlotte. He was aged about twenty years. The de ceased contracted fever at the Uni versity of N. C. over two months ago, was immediately brought home and was confined to his bed steadi ly until death relieved him of his suffering. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and tbe re mains were buried at the cemetery of that church at 6 o'clock Sunday evening in the presence ot a large concourse of people.

She left a loving aud devoted hus baud, aud oue child 8 months old. Tbe bereaved husband, parents and frieuds believe their loss was her gain It is geuerally conceded so far as we can learn that the account in tbe Courier of last week's Issue of the recent tragedy, its cause &&, was as full and correct as could be giveu from the facts so far as they si e known. If all the rumors about this whole affair from tbe beginning were published they would fill up a column of fabulous tales, any oue of which would give tbe lie to the others. Newspapers, therefore, that take up certain of these rumors and accept them as facts from "good authority'' and offer comment accordingly, may iu the course of time find themselves as far from the jreal facts on tbis occasion as they have been on other occasions. We know enough to know that the whole truth about tbe entire affair is and baa been in such a shape that no one cau get it with certainty until it is brought out by the courts. Teacher' Institute. Our teachers and our people who attended tbe Institute last week were highly pleased, in fact delight ed with Prof, and Mrs. Mclver and their work. Prof. Mclver is an un tiring and intensely earnest educa tor. His lectures were fraught with sound logic and common sense. His arguments for public education are irrefutable. His appeal for better facilities for the education of girls was irreeistable. It is unfortunate that more par ents do not hear these Institute lee tures. People who are too "wise in their own conceit'' and too much wedded to their old notions, cannot help but gather valuable ideas from such men as Mclver, Aldermau aud others The Institute closed last Friday with two able addresses by Prof. McTver, and several readings by bis amiable and accomplished wife. Tho audience gave Prof, and Mrs Mcl?er a vote of thauks and appre ciatiou for their entertaining and instructive exercises during the week. Tho following resolutions were heartily adopted by the teachers: IlesoIuiloiiB Complimentary to Prof, and Mrs.Cuas. 1. Melver. WH2REAS, Proi. Chas. D.

Courier: The Southern Stars are occupying comfortable quarters on Wrightsville Sound and enjoying the sea breezes. The camp is the same one occupied in former encampments, but the name has been changed to Camp Fowle, in honor of the late Gov. Fowle. It is beautifully situated on an elevation midst an oak and hickory grove, covered with long trailing moss, where we receive the full benefit of refreshing sea breezes. The camp is governed by strick Military dicipline but during the intervals between drills and parade, opportunity is given the guard to visit places of interest. As the inhabitant of Piedmont North Carolina beholds the trees and grasses, the sound, the wide stretching ocean with great vessels riding on its bosom, or wherever he looks he sees something to interest and instruct. The Sea Coast Rail Road adds a great deal to the pleasures of the encampment. Wrightsville Sound is eight miles from Wilmington and the round trip fare for the soldier is twenty five cents. It runs across Wrightsville Sound on trestle work the distance of a mile to the hammocks. Over there is Ocean View Hotel, dancing pavil ion, and various amusements. The boys gather shells on the shore, secure bundles of wild oats and grasses, and indulge in surf bath ing. Tomatoes, melons, fruits and all kinds of vegetables are cheap and abundant. The Y. M. C. A. has a tent on the grounds in which religious services are held. It also has a well supplied reading room and furnishes free stationery. The State Guard is well represented here. Also have with us the first Virginia Regiment, about three hundred strong. The following members of the Southern Stars are here : Captain W. W. Motz ; Lieuten ants S. G. Finley and W. L. Kist ler, Sergeants E. W. Ward, R. F. Goodson, S. V. Goodson and A. Nixon ; Corporal, R. II. Dellinger; privates, L. Guion. James Gheen. T. F. Cornwell, S. E. Maunev, R. F. Beal, A. M.
