BOU0OL LAW NOT VIOLATED.'
Thus Says Gentleman in Regard
to the Brong-htoot Matter, .v:
There was a slight: mistake In the
law quoted yesterday in regard to
the matter, of Mr. N. B. Broughton
being Interested In , the Phonetic
Reader, now heed in this city's pub
llo schoolac The law Is as follows:
That no member ol said school
committee ehall: hi inj any way
directly or indireotly Interested in
the sale of any books, school appa
ratus or other school supplies to the
rubtic schools of said township."
The mistake was in inserting the
word "supplied" after the - word
supplies" in the law. "That" said
well-posted man to-day, "changes
the entire meaning of the sentenoe."
Taking the law in the war in
which your paper had it, the selling
of books to children for school use
might be construed as supplying the
books to the school But it. would
not it seems to me, be selling to the
school, whioh the law prohibits. 1
cannot see possibly how the law as
set down could apply to Mr. Brougb
ton's Interest in Moses' V Phonetlo
Reader," zlt--': ; ? ft'.
Another gentleman said: "I am
very sorry that this disoussion came
up. It is straing a point certainly to
attempt to construe the law against
Mr. Brougbton. The book is an ex
oellent one, and the method it teaches"
has been tanght in the publio schools
of this city for several years. The
law was intended to prevent the pos-.
sibility of job8," not the introdno.

the one under discussion, has been

that the indications are for a greatly
Increased attendance. The Washing

Y. M. C. A. DIRECTOR" MEET.
They Plank up Money For a Secre-
. taryand Hope to Succeed.
At 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
th Board of Directors of the T. M.
C- A. held a meeting which of much
interest and importance to all who
feel well towards the . work. It was
decided to employ a maw Beeretary,
and to take other steps towards mak
ing the Association- here a live one.
The money necessary to pay the Bee
retarv's salary 'was nearly all sab-
scribed by the directors themselves,
which shows how deeply tbey hat at
heart the good of the Association.
Said Mr. Primrose this morning i
We met Mr. v Anderson, the
Representative of the InterSatlonai
committee, who came to aid the direc
tors in putting the association oa a
bitter basis so that its usafulaess may
be demonstrated to the community
For some weeks the association has
been without a secretary, bat the
Directors at ths meeting yesterday,
Lsubscribed, with the aid of a few out
side friends, the necessary money for
a Secretary's salary. The matter of
nominating a Suitable man Is left to
Mr. Anderson, who has had large and
useful experience. If the right man
can be obtained and trained ia asso
ciation work, the directors earnestly
believe that the association will com- j
mend itself to the people of the com.
inanity in the next three months, and
thst there will be no further trouble.
There arc many little changes and lm
prorementa In maLagement that will
be made when the new secretary comes
in. You may say that the rules will
then all be enforced."
Mr. Anderson said at ths meeting
that many towns not larger than
Raleigh, spend annually more money
than is raised for association work
here in maintaining a public library
and reading room, not better in any
way than they are maintained by the
Raleigh Association.
CLEVELAND COMING.
Baltimore Would Not Object to the
Equinoctial Storm.
The National League championship
will wind op ons wsek from next Mon
day. At present the race between
Baltimore and Cleveland for the pen
nant ia exciting widespread interest, as
each team has a chance for the honors.
Cleveland has four games yet to play,
one with Pittsburg, one with Chicago
and two with Louisville. If they win
them all their record will be 80 vleto
rice, 45 defeats and .050 pereeataye.
Baltimore has sight games to play, and
ail are hard to win. Ons is with Brook
lyn, three are with Philadelphia, in
Baltimore, and the remaining four are
1th New Tork, at New fork.
Brooklyn tambled Baltimore over
sterday with "Sadie" MeMahon in
the box by a score of six to five. Clsvc-
and did op Pittsburg by a score of
ve to three, with Toung pitted against
Hawley.
Should Baltimore lose today and
Cleveland Win, Baltimore's margin
would be only about two per cent.
The race gets closer.
The Baltimore Sun says a steady
rain for two or three days would be
mush to Baltimore's advantage and
the players think the orops ased rain
ery much. . None of them would ob-
ect if the equinoctial showers should
pat in a prompt appearance.
