THE NEW BERN GRADED SCHOOL ' A Short But Interesting History Read Al Com moneomont. . ! We are pleased to publish an accurate account of New Bern Graded School which composed the theme of Miss Ma bel Bart lings essay upon her graduation ' It contains many items of interest to ' which citizens may refer with perfect certainty of their authenticity. , THE HISTORY OF THE NEW BERN AC ADS At the legislature of 1760 ; Governor Dobbs made: the proposition that the vestry in each pariah should raise a sum to pay a parish clerk and register who should be able to act as a school master and in the absence of th elergy; man as reader. This sum was raised but borrowed for military purposes and never paid back, consequently the school . money was never refunded. But in his address to the General Assembly 1764 which met in Wilmington, he again said BetterFruits-Bettcr Profits Better peaches, apples, pears and berries are produced when Potash is liberally applied to the soil.

After HaH tht Gamt Had Been Horss Play. Ntw Bars Got Togathar and Won Out. .Out of the jaws of defeat the New Bern base ball team snatched an ele . gant victory from the Fremonts in the first game played yesterday. ' The at tendance was large the enthusiasm which at the first was at about 32 de grees a veritable frost. But soon the rooters got busy ani their help was great encouragement. There could not have been a much sorrier exhibition of the great national i sport than the first five or six innings were yesterday. One could easi ly ima . gine schoolboys or even infants putting " up a better article than .did the New Bern . aggregation. On two or three occasions when the field made a mighty fumble or some of the infield thought - that he was throwing at the cat instead of playing scientific ball the crowd was on the point of rising up and crying "give us back our money, when we " want to see, kids play we'll go to the Academy Green." It really, was too bad. but after the fifth inning the team . played better and came to the support of John Patterson, the pitcher, who was the sole living member who played the game through. John Patterson made good use of the spit ball fetching his victim everytime, - He showed good head work also and had, he been given the support due him the game wouid havexbeen a good deal ' better. ' - . j In the seventh inning the tide of bat tle turned and the home team fell on ' the Frements pitcher and hit him 1 ar J " and often running in three scores. . It was easy thereafter to get the game. Another game will be played this afternoon and we bulieve it will be a fight worth seeing. The players know each other well aud it is a fair field and no favors. ' - Following is the score of yesterday's game: 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Fremont 1 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 0-5 New Iiern . 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 x-7 New Bern was without a school house as it was not until Monday Nov. 15th, 1766 that Mr. Codgell asked for permis sion to bring in a bill to establish a school house in New Bern. On Nov. 12 1756 Mr. Caswell according to order brought in a bill to establist the school house. He read this bill which was af terwards delivered in at the Table and then again read by the Clerk; passed and ordered to be sent to the Council. As I have said before the first effective act for the erection of a school house in New Bern was 1764. This school was the first incorporated academy in North Carolina and was incorporated 1766. At a great expense' the first large and com modious building was erected. : On July 1,120767 this building which was made of wood 45 feet in length and 30 feet in width and situated on New St. , between Hancock and Metcalf , was not near fin ished. It had already cost three hun dred pounds and the money that had been raised for building this school had been entirely expended and the building was only enclosed, but through a mis sionary whose name was James Reed, the money was raised so that the floors might be laid and the chimneys built. After the building was completed Mr. Thomas Tomlinson was appointed the first school master. Nine trustees were appointed and were as follows: Richard Casweil, Abner Nash, John Right Stan ley, William Blount, John Sitgraves, Spyers Singleton, William By ran and Richard Dobbs Speight The resolu tions passed were. That . tha school master must be a member of the church of England, that the trustees should visit the school once every six months and examine the students, and that cer tificates should be given to those who left the school, but that they should not grant degrees or titles, sucn as tne de gree of bachelor or master of arts or doctor in any faculty, that the school should be called New Bern Academy and the land that was owned by the Academy should go toward . supporting the school The 20 that was paid the school master per annum and the 20 for the assistant teacher was raised by j putting a tax on tne spirituous liquor mat were imported through Neuse River, at four pence per gallon. Mr. Mackartney and Mr. James McCartray were assist- that taught in this building. But turn we tofhe classic school, Where science holds her transient rule, Where culture trims the tender shoot . And grafts the stock with future fruit, The mansion daily gathers there ' Two hundred minds its smiles to share, Though architecture has not spread ' UCI DJ1CI1UV1 B 1WUUU l110 bJ.U 1KHU. . This amusing verse about the school was written by Mr. Stephen M. Chester in 1818. 'i- h. ?' Gaston, Stanly, Badger, Speight and Hawks who were distinguished sons of North Carolina were educated in this old building. During the first part of the Civil war the school was run by the Northerners, but later used as a hospi tal for both sides. It was through Prof D. B. Johnson "that the people of New Bern were made to realize that anothe building. was needed. Prof. Johnson did not stay to see the work finished. In 1884 our middle building at 'he cost of $9,000 was built Mr. Price Thomas was Principal and the first brick was laid by Miss Laura Suter This building faces Hancock street and has eight large rooms, an office and two nails, over tne office is erectedlthe belfry in -which hangs the bell that has called the chil dren to school during the school months for about twenty years. : Messrs. Adams, Hodgers, Mendenhall, Foust, Harding and Mr. Craven have also fill ed the high position as principals of this school. It was during Mr. Foust's stay that the two schools, for before they were separate schools were made one and called the New Bern Graded Schools. In 1904 the foundations were laid for another building. This modern building which was erected at a cost of $10,000 has four rooms, an office and two halls, also has three entrances, the main en rancf - acing Hancock street This building was designed and constructed with a view to future enlargement, which can be easily done by the build ing of four more rooms on the West end. If New Bern continue to grow this addition will be necessary in the course of a few years. Such is a brief sketch of the New.; Bern Academy, and the educational beginnings which re sulted in its organization. It has made a splendid record in the past and may its future history be still more glor PACjriC CCAST tn The f.'ost For Your r.'oney.- Rock Island service to California and Pacific Northwest this suminor, per mits you to do this.

College, which is to be ready by the time the next session be gins. The cost of the equipment will be some twelve thousand dollars, bring ing the cost of the building, the land and equipment up to sbmewhere about $79,000. It will be on of the very best buildings of the kind ) in the country, a committee of the Board having visited dozen or more States and inspected the best buildings they had. The situation between what may be called the Rollins and ythe Blackburn factions of the Republican party seems to continue if what some of the Rollins Republicans say is troe. They say Blackburn is making a fight for t air- banks for President and that they do not believe the Roosevelt Republicans will be for Fairbanks. All of the mat- ter.it is claimed goes out of the big re ception given' at Greensboro by the Tar Hsel CIuV when Jthe Fairbanks boom was launched by Mr. Blackburn The Rollins men appear to think that their contingent will clip the Black burn out of their boss in any sort of a scrap they may have. To an outsider there seems to be some harmony, since Blackburn went to see Rollins "at Ashe- ville. . It seems to be the understand ing that Blackburn will name the col lector of revenue of the western district and control the patronage in the 8th district, but no more, some of the Re publicans saying that he wanted to con trol a lot of other patronage. AH these matters are the principal talk of the Republicans here. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions of thanks to Senators Gra ham and Hecter McLean, for their very able assistance to the Board dur ing the legislative session. A resolu tion was adopted requesting the Gov ernor and council of State to allow the department to have its printing done by other persons than the State print ers so as to prevent the very annoying delays which have occurred and enable the bulletins to appear as regularly as irmagazine. The November bulletin was not sent out by the printer until April and the December bulletin was equally late, while the January and February bulletins were not received until the middle of May and the others have not yet come from the printers. The people who read the bulletin have made much complamt es oi tne matnematics according to the best and most approved methods." Also in the same paper, Mr. George Harrison advertises a school forinstructions in the Epglish and French languages. The Assembly sometimes met in this building. This school which rested for some years under the incubus imposed by the establshed ecclesiastical oligarchy was accidentally burned, down in 1795 A few scattered stones on the east cor ner of the Academy Green are all that remains of this noble old building. Afterwards by an act of the Assem bly a room in the PaWce was used for the school room. In 1806 the present old brick Academy was erected, the brick wcri brought from England. This building which faces New street con sists of four large rooms and two, halls, upper and lower.

" ." ' Mr. B. C. Beckwith. a member of the State Board of Internal Improvements was asked today what the Board was doing. He replied, "Nothing just now nor is much apt to be done until the new code or revisal becomes effective, August 1st Until then we have powers will be very much enlarged and we will have jurisdiction over all the institu- tions of the state, educational, penal and charitable, as well as over the prop erty of the state, excepting institutions like the University where there is no charitable feature. The University is a constitutional Institution and the Gov ernor really has charge of that anyhow.

The participants were all dressed in Japanese costumes and the Japanese idea in dress was cleverly and thorough ly carried out; even the music, espec ially the vocal pieces had a suggestion of orientalism that was not at all out of place. . The performance from an artistic standpoint was very cwver and the younc- ladies all showed Individuality in their rjlavinir which Is rarely heard in amateur musicales. The vocal pieces were rendered with the same evidence of training and care that the instrumen tal performances were.
