It was no warmer than It ought to have been. t ' The crowd in attendance eclipsed anything that has yet been to a bait gaiae or almost any other function In - thl city. , A safe estimate ot the nunv ' bet' of people Is 1,000. The erowd was helped by the delegation from Wilmington, wBlch came- up 185 . strong. They left no room to doubt that they were from Wilmington and came prepared to give us the merry ha ha on the results, but their ani mal spirits quickly subdued and the money that was flashed hither and yon did not flash after the fourth In ning. However, the people from our slater city were very welcome guests, - and we hope they will come again in larger numbers still. .The crowd was ordc rly and the disposition to .kill the umpire was not Indulged by the people, but the visiting club took ex ceptions to the rulings once or twice. - 'The transfers had a all ver 'harvest out of the game, and drivers would n't care it there were a game every day! Carriagesautomobiles, drays, . milk carts, buggies, every kind of t vehicle was sworn Into; service to convey the people out there, and they began going as early at S o'clock. .

' ' The dirge ot the band waa mournr ful, but doubtless the losers thought it was timely. The ladles enjoyed the game as much, aa the men and' they were ae nick to discern the brilliant plays, s were the men. The crand stand and the bleachers m mulled a beautiful sight they were 10 full.

The enrollment this year- has bean 767, an increase of 43 over last year, while ; the -average dally, attendance this year has been 575.2S, an. Increase Of 54.15. per flay over last year.. We have enrolled dualng the' year. 7850 per cent of the city's school popula tion of 977 (whiter and .2108 per cent. of the school population of 1,828 (col ored.) ;;.''rv-7 ,"i -:' '' "r. '' " So far at I can see this has been a great year In the school life ot the city.- We have ' accomplished many things this year for the first time. Our attendance has been very regular, the work done has been of a high order md thorough, we have had a school exhibit which: showed in a very forci ble way. what the- pupils can do in their every day school work, "we have had a High School, Magazine, which has been issued four times and repre sents the work- dope in the - High School, and in , addition " the High School pupils have, edited tor one day the New Bern Journal,' doing all the work except the typesetting and print ing, we have had a base ball team composed exclusively of school .boys, which' has Bad ' Several games .with nearby schools" and added to the in terests of the 'school pupils in ath letlcs. : f rr':' ' All these things have helped us in fcveloplng among the pupils a greater Interest In school and school work, tnd with Interest on the part of the uplla. the" class of work done in the ichool room has been high and thor ugh. '. This year eleven pupils grad- jated from the 10th grade and each yt them has grauated not because of he length of time spent here,' but be ause of work done in a satisfactory manner.. Nearly all the class expect o go oS to College next year and when they do go, "they will be as well irepared as pupils who go from any ther graded school In the State, ex- ;ept four and these have eleven years n their course.. 1 Well prepared pu IIa such as our course of study now jnables us to graduate are a credit 'o the school and will develop into eaders wherever they go. , The class St this year can go to the University f North Carolina, and enter with a rredit of 13.30 units out of a maximum if 15 requlredand the 1.75 units lack ing is on account of the quantity of work done In Latin and Geometry. At present we are able' to get only ibout three books of Geometry while lix are required and three books of Virgil out of six required. . f doubt it f it will be possible for us to get the equlrement on the two subjects a- tave, but a pupil expecting to go to College can easily make them up dur 'ng the summer months. By a slight hange In the course ot study for next rear, which will give us two periods er week on Physics, the number of mlts ot work done will be about 14 lext year.1 (A unit ifl five periods per veek for one school year, each period wing 49 minutes long, and nearly all xlleges today measure their work, md the work of the lower schools in inlta.) 'Our course ot study now Is tuch that for those who do not go to College, It is sufficiently broad and general to well equip one for whatever work may he at hand, not that It af fords a ; technical education - for any line of work for only techlncal schools do that, but It doea give one the fun iamentals of an educational which a technical or other education may be leveloped. On the other hand to one Vlng to College -with our diploma it neans the ability to enter under such conditions that the pupil can be leader and stand at the head among those who lead without being burden ed with a mlllRtone in the shape of number of conditions. During the year about four hundred pupils have rented their books ,and while It has given me a great amount t office work to do, yet It has bwn very siircesHful and very little crit icism has been made of the plan. The detailed statement given else where will plve you full particulars of the. flnnnrlul utile of the systein. s I stated In my report last June, I exiiertid that o would run behind 'his year from two to three him !rel lnllars.

The teaching force has done hard work and co-operated in everything which could add to the work' and value of the school, and done very efficient., work 'in every, respect. - I have noth- 1 ing hut commendation for the whole fcachlng force The aTerage number ,of fnrolld to .... tescw haa ben n tne whlte Bcnool 36. and Jn " h . , M BVtrace da,lv and in the colored 33. Our Need As I See Them Are as follows: ' .1 1. For thejourth time, I believe, as , T kava maiA In o.li rt mv rann.t a I thnt mif ttrMktMLt. nr&A .! in miilt-4 . " : torium, woe re we can nave our open ing exercises daily, and where we can have our commencements." The school will never be a unit and have much school spirit until we have some place large enough to hold at least a part o tthe pupils -a place where we can assemble and know each other, and where the pupils may learn how to act and deport themselves in public, As it is now, tew of the pupils know ether pupils In one of the buildings. not their own.' We -have 18 small schools, each a unit In itself what we need is something to unite those 18 schools in one purpose and to certain ends towards which we. . are" working. We can never do this well until we have an auditorium. ' , 2. We need a central heating plant to be located in the- rear ot the central building. Itwlll. be Impossible to Use (he furnaces in the bid and cen tral buildings again tor another year. unless they are practically rebuilt They are burned out and in places have ' holes as large - aa ' ones fist through which smoke 'escapes into the rooms and at times makes it al most Impossible to stay in the rooms. I have had to spend a good part of my time during the past winter working on the furnaces and trying to coax them along, but they are past coaxing, and something must be done during the summer. The present furnaces must be. rebuilt and a considerable expense incurred or a new."butflt, where aJLflre VwIH be without the building erected. The present plants In the new and old buildings rom. .Ire 'standpoint, are ' dangerous and no one who does not know their exact construction and situation realizes their , condition and the fire risk in curred.: I hope the board will erect central steam heating plant,: and that steps will be at once taken in this line.' It will take several months If begun now to get a plant in work ing order. ' 3. Our third need is a fence, around the school grounds. At present the buildings are continually damaged by the constant use of the grounds as 1 loafing place. Every influence ot he school should be away from loaf ing and toward work. ' We may do pur best ' to teach them that a school's chief aim is to' teach pupils to think ind to work, but when they leave the loors and encounter loafing In its worst fbtms all our teaching Is set at naught. ; Hundreds pass through the grounds every day, shouting and whooping .and disturbing the atten ton which the pupils . are trying te pay to their work. We need a good solid .wall, of concrete perhaps, with 1 gate on Johnson street and one ol Vew for use and a large gate on Hancock for looks.- .'- With a fence, with good walks lead ing to each building from the street, and with walka front building to build ing, It wllf- be possible for use to keep the buildings clean, to keep the green clean and to have flower plots and a beautiful lawn which will be an Im mense Improvement over the condi tions such aa are seen from day te. day.' ' . ;;- . 4. We need rooms fofTeachlng. Thl year we have bad twenty teachers tnd only eighteen rooms to teach in ind every day there were times when both the upper and lower halls Tn the new building were In use. To do cood work requires good teachers, teachable children and not least by tny means, the proper conditions for teaching. I think we have the first two conditions, but we are sadly lack ing in the third. When rooms are pro rlded space should be arranged for s laboratory where elementary physics chemistry, botany and physiology can 'm taught with the necessary appara tus. Trovlslon should also be made for cooking and sewing for girls and Manual training for the boys, while lurj's room for a gymnnnliim would he a step to develop the phyxti -al aide .f our natures which would l a in h vanee of the majority of !...,: In 1 he ftnlo.

Te New Bera Democrats ' Common fairness demands that del egates tp the county convention should be seiedted from the friends and sup porters 'of each candidate voted for in the precinct primaries. At the Vance bar 0 v precinct primary yester day, there were 67 votes tor Kitcbln, 45 for Craig and 10 for Home, and the Craig and Home supporters de manded , that some -of the delegates be selected from their rank.s but the KItchIn forces who had the machinery of the precinct refused to do what the plan of organization of. the Democratic party provides they should have done. A county official and KItchIn ? sup porter; of ; Dover openly boasted in the street of New Bern last week, that the Kitchin forces would over ride and deny , the Craig and Home men representation on the. delegation from that precinct notwithstanding the plan of organization ot the party. The same spirit of unfairness was man ifested by Kitchin supporters in other ' precincts. The following protest comes from Doven signed by 33 Dem ocratic voters of that precinct: To The Democratic Voters of New Bern:. The Democratic voters of Dover pre-1 cinct met In convention today, Sat urday,! at o'clock p. m. in G. V. Richardson's Hall O- V.

J. Maxwell and Mr. Craig by I D. W. Richardson. The question was then raised as to how the candidates strength . should . be taken. D. " W. Richardson made a motion that their strength be taken by ballot. One' of Mr. KItchin'a supporters made a mo- tlon that their' strength be taken by I acclamation, but thevote was finally I takea by standing. ; After the chair I bad ruled that a man who had not paid I his poll tax for 1907 before May 1st, I 1908, was entitled to vote, and that a man -who had paid his poll tax and could qualify before the November I election could not vote, and men were I allowed to vote tor Mr. Kitchin who I said they would not support the dem-1 ocratic nominee, It Mr. Craig was nom-1 Inated, a vote was taken as above I stated. Which, resulted in a vote of I 32 for Mr. Craig and 82 for Mr. Kit-I chin. D W. Richardson asked that! Cralg's supporters be sent to the I county convention to represent Mr. I Craig's strength.

All three were taken before Justice Hlnes, and -put- under bond, Stalllngs being re quired to give $1,000 bond, and each of the negroes $100. Not being able to give the bond they were committed to Jail. The crime with which Stal llngs is charged is very serious and the penalty is a penitentiary sentence. " Late last night Rev. J. W.
