TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Closed Today with Addresses by Profs.,
Alderman and Winston.
The Educational Institute for Gran
ville County closed at 1 : 30 o'clock
this afternoon. j
The exercises this morning opened
at eleven o'clock with an able address
on education by Prof. E. A. Alder
;man. He spoke of our public schools,
and said we could not expect satisfac
tory results without a much larger ex
penditure of money. He spoke of the
advantages of education, and made- a
plea for the better education of the
girls of North Carolina. The boys
have endowed colleges and universi
ties, and a demand was going to be
made to the next legislature for a Nor
mal School for the young ladies. And
we are going to get it, too, he said. ,
i Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins wreathed a
bouquet of rhetorical flowers, and in
troduced Prof. G. T, Winston, of the
State University.
Prof. Winston said he was rather
surprised when he reached Oxford to
learn that he was announced to deliv
er an address on education today. He
came to this city on other business,
towever, he could not refuse to
talk to an Oxford audience and to
talk on the subject of education.
He made a capital4 speech. We can
not undertake to give even an outline
of it. It was very interesting, instruc
tive. He said, in the course of his
speech, that Oxford was the literary
centre of the State and had led . the
State in literature for two generations.
He was educated in Oxford under one
of the greatest teachers he ever knew
Prof. James H. Horner, and he always
felt at home here. He was here now
to ask our people to help endow a
chair of history in the State Univer
sity. When Prof. Winston concluded,
Prof. Alderman thanked the teachers
and citizens for their attendance, and
announced that the Educational Insti
tute was closed.
To Collect Town Taxes from Solvents
Who Refuse to Pay.
Mention was made in The Day yes
terdav that the commissioners will en
force section 33 of the city charter
against the solvents who failed to pay
taxes for the year 1889. The section
referred to is a part of the acts of the
incorporation enacted by the General
Assembly in 1885, and reads as fol
lows : .
I Sfction 33. That on the first day
of December each vear the board of
commissioners shall examine the tax
list, make out a list of the insolvents,
which list the clerk to the board will
at once copy and tost at the court
house door. Any person whose name
is not so returned as insolvent, who
shall fail to pay his tax on or before
January 1st, besides the penalty given
herein, shall be guilty of a misdemean
or, and upon conviction, pay the sum
of five dollars and costs, or in default
be imprisoned five days in the com
mon jail. To carry out the provision
of this section, the mayor shall notify
each person whose name is so returned
as not insolvent, at least twenty days
prior to the first day of January, of
the fact that his taxes are due and un
paid, and that the board ot ' commis
sioners recognize him as solvent, and
that unless said taxes are paid before
January first that the provisions of this
section will be enforced. - Unless said
notice is given, the delinquent shall
not be liable to indictmenUunder this
section. "
