The Craven County Teachers Asso ciation met ilis morning ln regular session in tho court house at 10 o' clock. A gcod attendance of the as sociation was gratifying to the county superintendent and the president, Mr. Moser about 40 teachers being pres ent. They enjoyed a treat from coun ty treasurer, Freeman Ernual, who presented them with a basket of fruit. The following program was carried AXTI-JAPANESE BILLS KILLED. Standing Room Only Last Night California Assembly Makes Another Attempt for Separate Schools. By Wire to The Sun. Sacramento, Cal., Mar. 6. Anothsr vain .attempt was made by the anti Japanese element in the assembly to day to exclude Japanese from the public schools. An unimportant school bill was called up for passage, when an amendment barring not only Chinese and Japanese but all Asiatics was offered. The amendment was vot ed down. Helena, Mont., Mar. 6. The legis lature was in session until midnight. After a hot fight the Clayberg anti Japanese bill, framed after the Cali fornia measure which would have pro hibited the holding of lands by the Orientals, was killed by a vote of 24 to 22. Messrs S. M. Brinson and Prof. H. B. Craven spoke on the importance of accuracy in school work. Miss Clee Reel talked on "How to Teach Reading to Beginners." Miss May Hendren gave a splendid and Interesting talk on her tour through Europe last summer. Prof, Moser gave a talk on the gen eral work of the county teachers as sociation for the past year. The session proved to be a very pleasant as well as a profitable one to each Individual of the association. i,mtt For Light Infantry. Special to The Sun. Raleigh, N. C, Mar. 6. A warrant has just been issued on the State Treasury for $2,000 in favor of the Independent Light Infantry of Fay etteville, this being the amount of ; special appropriation secured through the Cumberland representatives for this company, which by reason of pe culiar circumstances is not a part of the North Carolina National Guard, the check representing back pay for the company. The Fayetteville Light Infantry was organized in 1795 and under the provisions of the Dick law was not made a part of the National Guard. The company is the second oldest in the I'nited States. The Vernon Stock Company played to a full house at the New Masonic Theatre last night. The bill was "Ca- mille," and standipg room only was offered for sale long before the cur tain went up. As was advertised, this was the company s strong point and the peo ple availed themselves of the oppor tunity to see this favorite company present the thrilling drama. Miss Radinoff, as Camille, and Mr. Wolfe as Aimond, were commented upon as great in their parts. Dainty and per sonally magnetic Miss Radinoff trip ped lightly, adding much to her al ready popular favor. The stage settings and scenic effects and costumes were of an elaborate or der and those who missed seeing Ca mille last night missed a treat. Tonight the company, will present "Slaves of Opium." The scenes will depict Chinatown, New York, giving an idea of conditions of that com munity where dwell only the yellow perils. This is the last performance of this engagement. Be out tonight and see "Slaves of Opium" presented by this excellent company. PK0UKA.V AT AMl'SEA TOMGHT. WILL NOT BE RE-APPOIMTED w York Colton. Mch. Spots . Sales, none.
