FRESH BUDGET OF LOCAL HEWS STREET TALK II BUST KIHSTOH Things Seen, Heard and Written Up , - . by Industrious Reporters.". , TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. It has Been Very Interesting aid l ,i. Very Benefloial. " , . Today at noon the summer Khool came to a close. , It has been very sue- cessfully conducted during the past two. weeks forth teachers and all others In t rented In the educational work. The board of education and the county superintendent, Bev. C, W. Howard, were very fortunate In securing the services . of , ' several of the most enthusiastic : and . progressive educators In the state. Prof. ," J. A. Jones, superintendent of the Fay ' ' ' etteviile schools, has conducted the insti tute and has done regular class work each day, practically giving the teachers the same course, which he taught at .the University of North Carolina this sum mer. The work of the Institute was care fully planned beforehand and a regular program was carried out each day. . Prof. Jones had to assist him in the work R. H. Lewis, one of the beet known . : teachers In this part of the state, Mrs. f George B. Webb, who teaches in the prl - ' mary department of the Klnston graded school, and Prof. Ellerbe, of Rhodes ln ' stitute. In addition to these, special ad- dresses have been made by other leading ' men and friends of the educational movement.' Among them were Bev. C " W. Blanchard, Dr. W. T. Parrott, Prof. W. H. Bhodes, Mr. I. T. OrmomJ and - Prof. L. C. Brogden. ' In his talk on "School ' Government" Dr. Lewis In his usual pleasant and en tertaining style gave many helpful hints - and suggestions as to the best means , oi preserving an -orderly and business-like school. Having ', had thirty years ex perience In teaching he has had the op portunity- of studying human nature. Dr. Lewis' lectures were always full of '. amusing Incidents from school" Kb and - lists of personal experience, which were of special interest and which brought frequent smiles to the faces cf those In the audience who were bis old pupils. One of the most interesting and in- tractive features of the Institute was the primary work done by Mrs. Webb with a class of twelve small children She conducted her work lust as' she has been dolpg It In the graded school. The teachers thug were given the opportunity - ol seeing a model primary school con ducted according to the newest and best methods. ' . - Prof. Jones has conducted the classes In arithmetic and grammar, and be has proved himself especially fitted to teach . these subjects. Having had. considerable experience as a teacher and in conduct ing summer schools for teachers, he seems to know just where the difficult points lie, and he always has a solution to the problem. His main object in teaching was to simplify and present the subject " In such a way that the child may lntelll , gently grasp the principles involved and not be dependent upon books and rules. Mr. Jones does exceptionally good work along this line. His method of working ' ' cube root one teacher of long experience spoke of as "the best thing In the lnsti tute" and worth the two weeks' attend- ance. ' .'.V.T. ' The afternoon meetings of the Institute have been largely attended, . many be sides the teachers being present. This was due In part to the nature of the pro gram, but more to the manner In which Prof. Jones treated the subject. The fine distinctions and perplexing parts In grammar were clearly explained and dis cussed. The discussion started during this language period generally grew Into the general discussion which lasted until o'clock In the afternoon. - Considerable and increasing Interest haa been manifested throughout the two weeks, and during the entire time the at tendance has been unusually good. The teachees grve many thanks to B augliter Eros, for lendlrg them an or gan during the two weeks. Thus closes one of tbe most If1; fuland longest institutes for t la the county.

Of course everybody knows It Is to be a lantern cernlvaL Tbeee lanterns are to be made so as to advertise all the In dustries and the business of Klnston; they are to be carried by the children, who will show them off to great advan tage by displaying them la fancy drills on a stage; erected near the court house. Some of these young peo ple will be dressed to represent, fairies, brownies and all of Mother Goose's dear familiar characters; then we will have a drill of the N. B. C. clowns to advertise 'iiu in jtnger nape." A drill of pretty girls to display Armstrong & Cator's millinery. A drill of Indians for Knott Bros', tobacco warehouse, and we bore to have a beautiful special drill r for Einstein and other large stores In King ston. Nearly all f the merchants have promised to take at least one 1-ntern, and we will take great pleasure la get ting up special drills for any of them If they find that tbey want a large display. We are depending on the children to do the advertising, but we will see that the children will have a delightful time. It Is seldom that all the children in town are brought together to en j-y themselves In a way that children love, and I believe that very few parents will deny them the pleasure ; but apart from the pleasure in it, we hope there will be profit, both now and In years to come. The value that The Klnston Library wilt be to these children can not be estimated now, but time Is not far distant when all will . see and acknowledge its influence. This library belongs to Klnston, and all Klnston people ought to take an in terest In making the carnival a success because It means so much to the library. We desire to have as little expense about It as possible, and for this reason we propose to get the lanterns made at the lowest cost possible and let the children buy them at wholesale prices, and after the carnival the lanterns will belong to the children. By thus distributing the expense among all It will not .fall so heavily on a few, and we will take more Interest In the work If a 1 help It along, even in a small way. This Is sot the program.but is Intended to give an Idta of what the Lantern Car nival will be Uke. A number ol people who are expected to help", have not been heard from definitely as to the manner In which they will advertise.lWeneed more children and young girls to take parts and I hope they will coualdcr this an In vitation to tham to do so.

Quantity, and Prloee Were A boat tke 8ame-It Was a PJa- nt Surpriae After Yeaterday'S Slump Farmera Adrised to Hold p for a While. , The sales today opened with a decid edly stronger tone to the market, a good deal of yesterday's slump in prices being regained.. Various reasons -have been ascribed for the better price Jbut . the general opinion is that the Imperial, which was not on the sales yesterday, was "strictly in evidence today, several buyers from other markets being on the breaks to represent that company. An other reason is that there being no safes tomorrow the buyers will have - mor time to take care of their purchasetj Still with this improvement in prices the warehousemen and all concerned con tinue to advise tJie farmers' to hold their tobacco bock and not rush it to market, as it will surely work to their disadvan tage. ; . , , ' . There was an immense brckk today, nearly 500,000 pounds of the weed being offered for sa'e besides a lot of it that could not and would not for various reasons be put on the Bales. A" block sale was anticipated Jjy a number of people but this will probably be averted as the sales are being conducted notice ably faster than usual, the auctioneers selling frequently 800 piles an hour. , , There is a more satisfactory express ion on the faces of the farmers today, though they were disposed to take the lower prices yesterday in a philisophical manner. Te prices obtained for. to bacco now are in excess of those last yeaf, and will no doubt continue. They still lead other markets, too., v ' 1 The warehousemen are straining every nerve to accomodate their patrons, both buy sis and sellers, and . deserve a great deal of credit tor keeping up the standard set by them at the beginning of the" sea on. They - are offering their storage room to the buyers, who have not the room themselves to store their tobacco, and express satisfaction at the pricee that nave prevailed, but claim that their ladifference yesterday was not due to any big change in th market but to the fact that they had no place to keep ttklr pur- chasts. The farmers who patronize the Kinston market are right up with the timer, and will not be frightened with the little flurry in prices yesterday, and knowing it to be a general condition will continue to market ther.tobacco here. The big break today has rounded up week's business that will aggregate over 1,300,000 pound, which Is a tremendous amount of tobacco to be sold on any market in one week, still on the comple tlon of Improvements now In progress, even more than this can be handled with ease In one week. Klnston Is now, and always will be, the place for the farmers to market their tobacco. General opinion on tbe market , was that the ea'e surpassed the great open ing day in all around features.

Harper, jr., presented an appli-' cation to the governor to be allowed to organize an Infantry company at this place and to enter the State guard. This application was granted and a- meeting will be held next week to perfect the or ganization.. It is up to the people now' to make this company one f the best in the state by giving it their eupport. The new Infantry company trill be preferable to the old naval reserves, for many rea sons, among them, that the state will equip with uniforms the members of the company and will give them an annual encampment and drill under the beet officers In the state. The young men are taking hold of this thing with a good deal ot Interest and will . undoubtedly form a good company if they can get tbe business men of Kinston to co-operate with them. Immediately upon the or ganizing of the company and tbe election of officers tbe commissions and arms and other equipments will be forwarded' to them. They are to use temporarily the old Springfield rifle, but later will le equipped with the Krag-Jorgenson, which Is tbe regulation government rifle. Col. Pollock is enthusiastic about this matter and in lendicg hid aid to It Is con ferring a great favor on the town, as It Is considered by many people to be very necessary for the town's safety to have a goodimllitary company.
