The event of special importance in the State this week is the tenth annual session of the North Caro lina Teachers' Assembly at More head City, which began Wednes day morning. Secretary E. G.

Wad dell, of Wilmington, will deliver the opening address, after an in troduction by Mr. John J. Blair, president of the assembly. Col Harrell, as secretary and treasurer, will submit the annual report. The question is aked why mil itary tactics are not taught at the Agricultural college and no ans swer is given. The act of Con gress is certainly mandatory. The matter ought to be attended to by the trustees. Of the 114 students enrolled, one is from Virginia, one from South Carolina and one from Cuba. There are nineteen seniors, fourteen juniors, thirty -two soph mores and forty-nine freshmen. More apparatus is needed at the college. The statement that forty of the ninety-six counties of the State are not represented will nat urally attract attention. A stubborn fire in the brick ware house, owned by the Calder estate on Water street, Wilmington, oc cupied the attention of the fire men from two to five this morn ing. The building was stored with cotton and molasses. The loss is estimated from eighteen to twenty thousand dollars, well covered by insurance.
