Teachers' Meeting. The November teachers' meeting was held in the court house last Saturday, with a good per cent of the teachers in attendance. Defi nite plans were made for the Moon light schools which are to begin this week in practically every dis trict in the coxunty. The program of the State Teach ers' Assembly was discussed. A number of the McDowell teachers are planning to attend. The Board of Education has agreed to allow all teachers attending to leave their schools on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and receive full pay. Supt. I. C. Griffin gave an out line of "Handicrafts" in "Teach ing the Common Branches." He was followed by "Miss Hudgins, who read an interesting paper on "Writing." At the next meeting she will give the teachers of the three different grades lessons and drills in this subject. Part of the program was left off until next meeting when the teach ers can meet in the graded school building. At this time Mrs. Bird will present practical lessons in cooking, sewing and sanitation. Miss Harris will give a demonstra tion of paper cutting and Miss Hudgins drills on writing. The remainder of the program will be published later. The editor of the Progress has agreed to issue an educational edi tion of the paper the first of Janu ary. The teachers are asked to send to the superintendent a full account of all clubvork, the moon light schools, money raised, im provements made, etc. In this way the entire county can keep in touch with the progress of each school. U. S. Sends Note to England. Washington, Nov. 7. The Unit ed States in its latest note to Great Britain, made public here today, covering exhaustively British in terference with American trade since the beginning of the Euro pean War, declares that Jth& so called blockade instituted by the Allies against enemy countries on March 11, is "ineffective, illegal and indefensible." Notice is served that the American Government "'cannot submit to the curtailment of its neutral rights,," and it can not "with complacence suffer fur ther subordination of its rights and interests." .

Nebo Club Holds Interesting Meet ing School Work. The Community Service Club of Nebo held a very interesting meet ing last Friday evening and many new members were enrolled. Supt. L. L. Hargrave read a paper on "What the Tobacco Industry Has Done for Eastern Carolina." His treatment of the subject seemed to be greatly appreciated by all pres ent and the suggestions running all thru it as to what might be accom plished in this section by proper co-operation put all to thinking. Following this paper was the round table discussions and this was followed by an interesting de bate on the live question: "Resolv ed, That the United States Should Greatly Increase Its Navy." For the affirmative, Bruce Tate and Deater Patton; negative, William Morgan and Lee Lavender. The argument was clear and to the point and both sides scored well, but the negative won the judges decision two to one. It looks quite probable now that Nebo can have some boys to repre sent her next time in the State tri angular debate. In fact the school feels proud of the largeboys that are now enrolled. We expect to hear from them intbletics as well as in the class room and in debate. With onr fine drinking water, as shown by recent analysis, and our new sanitary drinking foun tains we, feel that - no place- can claim superior health advantages. The harmonious advancement of the school work in all lines is call ing forth pleasing remarks for both pupils and teachers. The school is entering a new era. This year for the first time coal will be burnt in the school and in the dor mitory. With our supply of coal comfortable rooms throughout the winter are assured. This gives a fine opportunity to do all that hard work set for the long winter nights. The above was received too late for last week's issue. Editor. Hickory Plant Destroyed by Fire. Hickory, N. C, Nov. 6. Fire causing property loss estimated at one hundred thousand dollars and endangering property valued at over a million dollars, completely destroyed the plant of the Hickory Manufacturing company here to night. Just how the tire originat ed is a matter of speculation, as the flamed had gained great headway when the alarm was turned in short ly after 9 o'clock. It is presumed that the blaze started in the boiler room. An entire city block was burned over and much lumber and finished mill work destroyed in ad dition to the mill, whteh was" a two story brick structure. Only the walls remain standing. The percentage of insurance car ried by the cpmpany is relatively small, compared with the damage and will hardly run over twenty five per cent, of the total loss. Ocean Liner Sunk by Austrians. Rome, Nov. 9. (Via Paris).- The Italian-American liner, An cona, carrying 422 passengers and a crew of 160 men, was torpedoed today by a large submarine flying the Austrian colors.
