Peace Institute pened today with 180 students, half of them boarders present There was no formal opening,, owing to the Ill ness of Rev. Dr. Alfred N. Moment,' pastor, of the First Presbyterian church and the absence of Gover ned Glenn from the city. Mr. Jame3 R. Young, chairman ot the board of c- trustees who is such an earnest work - er for the school was present, as were several other well known members of the Presbyterian denomination. The news as to the condition otRev. Dr. Moment gives bis friends, and . there are thousands of them, the deep est concern. He has a very severe at tack of typhoid fever and is In a dang erous condition. He is a native of Canada and his : brother and his daughter, Miss Julia been telegraphed for. Moment have . . . . 1 Deep regret here is expressed at the death of Dr. P. L Murphy, who for 25 years has been the head of the great hospital for the liuace at Morganton and who has been Justly rejardad as one of the most 'accomplished alienists in the United States. A special worker is engaged In the office of the secretary of state copying records regarding Onslow county, to replace those destroyed by fire.' ; -v- Whea , Chairman MeNetU qf. the Corporation Commission was . asked where the next hearing in the South ern rate case would be held, he re plied that he did not know anything beyond what had bSen In the news papers. The Southern has had its inn ings and now the side of the state will be heard and is to be very fully pre sented. It is conjectured that there will be a good deal of spice in this side of the case. In fact there has. .. been no small amdunt In the hearings so far at New York and at Washing-ton.- ' .- ' - . State Superintendent Joyner says that the last examination tor high school teachers will be held In every; county In the state, October 11th and 12th at the "respective vcourt houses. He says that a great ftiiiiy are need ed, and that In fact not over half these schools have'as yet souired principals The pay for teachers TsfTiot less than $40 per month and In some cases ex ceeds $100. Some of the principals got 11,000 .for lle 8 nigctlis school term. Those who pass examinations can serve In nny'yubllc schools. At the first examination, which was held In July there were a good many appli cants but not so many as were expect ed and some failed to meet the require merits. The demand for teachers of all kinds was never so marked In the state as at present and the better sal' arles which are paid are proving a very decided attraction in some-sec- tlons. -r . . - The most faithful Sunday school - scholar In North Carolina Is the son of Marshal Robert H. Bradley of the North Caro'.ina supreme court He has not missed .in his attendance In over 15 years and In 20 years has never been sick until this week.

HMebane, of the Educational Department left today for Craven and Pamlico counties to make,.. two speeches on local taxation for public schools. ' ' . The news today regarding Rev.,Dr. Alfred H. Moment, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, who has typhoid fever, was more reassuring. The freight warehouse on the Ral eigh and Pamlico Sound Railway here, now under construction is 30x220 feet The trestle work leading to this, which Is nearly a third of a mile long, was finished today .and trains are running across. ' " , Work began today on shops for the Raleieh and Southport Railway In the southern part of the city, on the property where the wagon factory formerly l Btood; this . plant having boen burned two years ago.

Raleigh, N. C, September ,14.-The next event here, calculated to arouse public attention will be! the trial of the Rowlands for poisoning. But lit tle has been, heard . of i them lately. They have been very quiet In Jail and it is said are apparently very anx ious, for the trial to come off. :, The State has prepared its asa and has quite a lot of evidence- whic hhas not before been brought out, jeither at the coroner's hearing or whin the grand Jury took up the -matter.- So far everything has gone against the Row lands, 'but their attorneys, who are Qv in number claim thiit everything is circumstantial ' and that the de fence will be a strong jrae Public opinion -has been 'high as a general thing In this matter though recently it has been but little talked about have an the time occu- pied separate cells.

Lieutenant Young, U. S. A, the cadet instructor, says the Freshmen are a very solid looking lot ot fellows and that they da not appear to be any frivolous ones, but they look as if they meant business and will apply themselves to their , studies and . not throw away their time and money. It Is his hone that some time during!, the term to take the cadet corps on af trip to some point in the State.-Last year he wanted to go to Wilmington but the rate named for the trip was so high as to be prohibitory on a great many ot the cadets, Of course some ot them have money, but many work their way through college and have to make every cent count Strange to say, the corps has never been seen' outside of - Raleigh and this respect being quite different from that ot other schools of this class. - Among today's visitors were Col. F. A Jones of Waynesville who came to the see about obtaining convicts tor the new Trans-Continental Rail way. He says ten millions of dollars has been put In back of this scheme The law enacted by the legislature gives the road convicts provided cer tain financial arrangements are made and he wants as many as he can get Convicts are very scarce these days, and the penitentiary people are put to It to find any. 100 have recently been taken, 60 going to Hyde county and a like number to'Elkln, both gangs to do ' railway construction to ... work. .

Bruner of the State! Agricultural Department who is the acting Immigration commissioner for North Carolina, returned yesterday from Europe, having been absent ex actly two months. It was his second trip abroad. He went first to France and made a three days study ot the market gardens around Paris with a view as to getting prices as regards high-class trucking, i He v says , that this market gardening there is a fine art He talked with the American consul at France as to the advisabil ity of trying to bring any French farmers to North Carolina but was discouraged, the consul saying that Frenchmen are not needed In this Country for two reasons; first because the government makes it. very hard to get away, and secondly they are doing well . there because they are shipping their truck etc. to England and to the North of Europ.e growing early vegetables and getting very hand some prices. , Mr. Bruner ' went next to London, and spent two days there with the agent who looks after immigration matters for the Southern Railway and there 'made a Study of conditions as to English laborers. He went to Lin colnshire and also paid a special visit to Rev. W. S. Key, who is in an ad joining count? and who not long ago, went from this State, he being the Joint agent in England of this State and ot the Carolina Development Com pany, the headquarters of which are at Wilmington. Mr .Bruner found that there was a good field for work among the English and that they are coming over In numbers. ' It is ex-1 pected that, the first party will be vember, the latter being under the escort of Mr. Key. The latter deliv ers lectures and make a Very fin bar presslon and Mr. Bruner saya ho is doing a very good work. Leaving that part ot England, Mr. Bruner went to Scotland and made Edinburgh his headquarters for 18 days, and talked with his represen tative at thatplace. He perfected ar rangements for the agency system all over Scotland and England as well. He met. the fathers and mothers ot all the Scotch lads who came here last year and in the hall of St Mat thews Church at Edinburgh gave a lecture and showed 120 stereoptican views of North Carolina which he had specially made. He said It is the first time he ever knew such views to be applauded, but the people went wild over them. The beauty ot the seen - ery In the State, Its variety, the sizes of the fruits and vegetables, etc, struck their fancy. Mr. Bruner says he has arranged for obtaining a num ber ot Scotch lads from the farms and that he will confine the work of Immigration to persons from the the farms, there and elsewhere. About twenty will be here In eight weeks. After leaving Scotland he went to Norway and Bergen, met Edward Nel son, who was here some time ago and who is arranging to secure lmml grants from Norway, Sweden - and Denmark. The movement from that part Of the country depends on the attitude of the Hamburg American steamship line, and if this matter Is arranged then these northern coun tries will be in as thorough touch with this State as are England and Scotland.' Mr. Brtiner at Hamburg had a conference with officials of this line and also saw them at Berlin, Ger many.

The authorities of the Central Caro lina Fair, are making great prepara tions for a record breaker, not only in point of exhibits, amusements, and racing, but in attendance during Fair week, October 15j-19th. While the presence of W. J. Bryan on Wednes day will attract an ir intense crowd, Secretary Garland Dar iel declares it will be the means ot bringing a bigger crowd on Thursday because he thinks that other features of the fair will be -so far beyond what visitors expected all who return home Ihat night will send twice as many more the next day to see the sights. There la not a better learned man on earth at the prospects than Chief Marshal CO. McMichael, mayor ot Madison, editor of the Herald, leading lawyer and pol itician of Rockingham. Mac ia one of the original and never tiring advo cates and admirers Oi William Jen nings Bryan, and will take delight In giving him a fine parade. Chief Mc Michael has just announced the com mittee to arrange thfr'fianual marshals ball. This committee is as follows: Thomas S. Beall, chairman and chief manager. - - . H.

He hi s just finished freighting his househo d goods to his I new home at Kington, where he has No-LeBnti th. ntnra nt th. sw Baptist Church. The tobacco warehouses here are up tn arms against the automobile owneYs. Claim is mad that the great number ot autos tour.ng on the fine macadam roads , leacdng Into the ctly, is having the effect of causing farmers who usually bring tobacco for sale here to go to Reldsvllle, and other markets where the scaring things are not troub esome. Com plaint is made by these farmers that the autolsts do not he d the signs for them to hold up and live the excited teams a chance to get acquainted, but speed by apparently ei joying the pre dicament of the driver and the tor ture of the crazy "orSt era." Prosecu tions against these a itolsts tor vlo- I lating the State law, are being serl- I ously considered by the warehouse- 1 men. A bit ot political gcsslp relating to the gubernatorial, brojght from Ral eigh, last night was that It was being persistently rumored In Raleigh, and at other places in the State, that his friends would induce Major Charles M.
