The Lyceum has been spoken of as
the "people's college." Everything

things are learned on the outside. The

In th Cotton Belt
Charlotte Chronicle.
In its weekly review of the weather
and the crops, The New Orleans Pic
ayune says that th-whole country
bas experienced during the past week
unprecedented hot weather for this
season of the year. While June may
reasonably be expected to develop the
greatest heat of th year, as th sun
shines more -hours in that month in-
tb Northern hemisphere than in any
other still past records show that it
is not the month of greatest heat, as
commonly daily showers have th ef
fect of keeping down the temperature.
That such unusual heat coupled as it
has been with dry weather, should
give cause for anxiety as to the effect
on the crops is but natural Accord
ing, to reports there has been little
rain in the cotton belt except in the
eastern or Atlantic 'section, where
good ihowers have fallen. Practical
rainlessness in &e central portions of
the belt has been accompanied by
high temperatures, as much as 100
degrees of heat and above . having
been recorded over wide stretches in
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Mississippi. Cotton has stood
these conditions well, owing to the
fin conditions of th fields and the
moistur remaining in th subsoil as a
result of the heavy rains of April and
the first hair or May. At th same
time n is admitted that cotton is be
ginning to suffer and unless rains ar
experienced in the near future dete
rioration seems inevitable.

Twenty-five Killed' by Storm,
It has been estimated that 23 per
sons were killed Monday night by
the West India storm which swept
the Atlantic Coast. In addition to
this loss of life, the property damage
will run close to $1,000,000, buildings
having been destroyed and crops ruin
ed. In the vicinity of Baltimore hail
did more harm than the wind. Re
ports coming in show vessels damaged
and houses and factories unroofed,
deaths by lightning and farm produce
riddled and battered. Trains hsd nar
row escapes from wrecks and the

OLYMPIC'S MAIDEN TED?.
Thoasands f Parsons Witness th De
parture from SoaAamptom f the
Great Walt Star Leviathan of th
Deep.
Southampton, June 14. Amidst
loud eheers from a large assemblage,
that re-echoing across the water must
hav been an enthusiastic "bon voy
age," the leviathan White Star liner
Olympie, Captain Smith, R. N. R.,
sailed out from this port today on
her maiden voyage to New York. The
event was a notable one, and thosands
of persons assembled to witness the
departure. -
The Olympic, which is a triumph of
marine architecture, sailed gracefully
out of the harbor, carrying a com
plement or passengers, 1,300, besides
a crew of 80 officers and seamen. 36
engineers, 360 men in the engine room
ana stokehold, a chief cook and forty
assistants and innumerable other em
ployes.
Th Olympic is unaDDroached not
only in size but in the matter of lux
urious appointments. In every res
pect ihe big ship is a floating hotel.
Dancing rooms, smoking rooms, cafes.
a library and even gardens are among
toe leatures of. the big vessel. There
are a cool avenue of Oriental palms,
beds of roses snd carnations, and ar
bors skilfully contrived bv expert
gardeners. Among other interesting
innovations are a swimming bath, suf-
ncientiy aeep tor diving, snd a skat
ing rink.
The suites of cabins are in their i
design and fittings equal to the rooms
of the finest hotels in Europe. There
are many dining rooms, the principal
one of which is elaborately decorated
and seats no fewer than six hundred.
Those who wish to take their meals
on deck can do so at a "verandah
cafe" situated on one of the upper
decks fifty feet above Hie level of
the water.
Another novelty is a grillroom. The
cabin suggests an old English chop
house, with high-backed stalls of an
cient oak, and broadlow tables. It
will be possible, at any hour of the
day or night, for a passenger to use
the: grillroom. The palm, garden is
still another refuge for. those who
weary of tb aonfincs of the" ship dur-j
ing me passage. , r i ;

Charlotte Chronicle.
Cabarrus county has organized a
Boys' Corn Club v.-ith sixteen mem
bers. The Tribune thinks U ought to
have a larger enrollment. We should
say so. The Boys' Corn Club of Robe
son county has over one hundred
members. This information is con
veyed to The Lumberton Robesonian
by County Superintendent Poole, in
correction of a satement made by
Mr. T. B. Parker, and to make a sug
gestion. Mr. Poole wants the mem
bers of the boys' clubs to send their
names to Mr. Parker at once so that
they may have a chance of winning
prizes from both departments. "I also
note," says Mr. Poole, "that The
Progressive Farmer has $1,000 and
will probably have $1,500 by the 17th
of this month to offer in prizes. When
you send your applications to Mr.
Parker, request him to send your
name to The Progressive Farmer. Bj
doing this you have a chance of win
ning a whole lot of nice prizes." This
advice should apply to clubs all over
the State.

"CLUB MANAGERS FINED.
Proprietors of Charlotte Club Con
victed of Olegal Sale of Whiskey.
They are after the club in Chsr
lott Tuesday E. L. Johnson and
W. T. Jekman, proprietors of the
CommrrcisJ Club, were before Record
er Sjnith.ebarged with selling whiskey
illegally, apd were given a term of
four months in the county jail and a
.fine of $.500, with the alternative of
closing the doors of the offending or
ganization and accepting a fine of
liSO each. The Observer says of this
"club":
I' Upon the investigation by ihe
chief, a large double ice box, filled
with beer, was discovered, equipped
with compartments for the various
members, bearing placards with the
names of the sharers in the general
ice box. Although none o fthe mem
bers who owned compartments in the
ice box. Although none of the mem
discovered drinking the cooling bev
erage st a table. Lockers, containing
a large amount of whiskey, were also
found during the course of the visit.
"In yesterday's trial, it was
brought out that the club enjoyed a
membership of 55, with monthly dues
of $1. It also developed that Johnson
received a salary of $40 per month,
which with the expenses for ice, rent,
etc., coupled with the salaries of
Blackman and a negro waiter, brought
the expenses of the club far in excess
of the monthly receipts. Upon such
evidence. , the recorder ruled that the
proprietors were not in the business
for their health, that the club was not
being run at s loss, and therefore
there must have been receipts from
other sources. As soft drinks were
not included in the menu offered by
the Commercial, it was decided that
alcoholic stimulants offered the only
aveniip for this unknown revenue."
