Will he 1'wo tcrie Hih an 1 Aeeonimo dute I wo Hundred ond 1 ift) I'upils school lloiird eits June :20th- The Times-Visitor is able to state that the proposed school building for the western section of this cily will be erected and ready for occupancy by the opening of the Raleigh iiublic schools for the full term. For more than a year residents of that part of the city have been anxi ous far a school building near their hornet so that their children would not be required to go so far to attend school exercises. There has been dur ing the past year numerous com plaints from patrons of both white and colored schools, who aliege that there is not sufficient room in the piesent buildings to accommodate the increased number of pupils in. the schools. In several rooms the enroll ment is said to have been several per cent greater than the capacity of the class rooms and in some instancies teachers have petitioned fur extra seats for thefr pupils, and have found the supply exhausted. All reasons for the construction of a new building have been carefully con sidered by members uf the SetUKjl Board and it is now an assured suc cess. The Board is called to meet Wed nesday, June L'uth for the purpose of selecting plans and making final ar rangements for beginning the erection f the building. The Board at pres ent consists uf Mayor William lluss. in: 11. 11. Lewis, Mr. o. Rosenthal, Editor J. V. Bailey, 11. (J. Burton, Esq., Mr. A. A. Thompson and Mr. oarland' Junes and it is known that live mem bers have expressed themselves as fuvi.iuble to acceding to the request of the people of the western section of the town. The School Board holds in trust the property on the corner of West and Morgan stieets for which they paid t?;i,w0, and on this lot the building will be erected. The colored school on the old Watson property in South east Raleigh will take care of two hundred and fifty colored children. Thus relieving the overcrowded Washington and Garfield schools. The Morgan and West street school, to be erected, will comfortably accom- ( modate two hundred and fifty white children thus removing the cause of complaint at the Murphy and Cen tennial Graded Schools. The building as it is now plajined ; will be two stories high and will con tain four large rooms, probably 18x25 feet and a pasageway 12 feet wide. The passageway will not be in the centre of the building as it will be when ready for occupancy next fall, but will be on the side of the build ing so that, when the Board can raise sufficient funds to complete a similar building beside the new one the hall way will be in the centre and the building systematical. There will be nothing fancy about the new building. Though it will be one of the safest and most durable buildings in the , city and will be perfectly adapted to the purpose. Besides the four school rooms in the first section to be erected there will be a cloak room for the use of the children and it is possible that some additional plans which are now being considered will enlarge the build ing. The important announcement at this time is the fact that the school will be completed and ready for occu pancy by the first of September and children In that section of the city will no longer be required to make the long pilgrimage to the Centennial and Murphy schools. As to whether extra teachers will be required for' this school has not yet been decided though it is believed that some one of the present corps of teachers will be clothed with the au thority of1 principal. A MOST CHARMING OUTING. No more pleasant any enjoyable out ing party has taken place this season than that of the '.'Children of Mary," an organization ithin the. Catholic congregation of Raleigh and its friends. Tfiat elegant place of resort 'Tucker's Pond was the place and the party con sisted of Miss Mary .Ferrall. Misses Florence, Minnie and Eva Barbee.

Shepherd Sunday School will Join the Presbyterian in the pic nic to OoconeecTiee Tuesday morning, Scholars, touchers nnd th mr- igation can secure their tickets Monday at C. C. McDonald's office. Uoverro' Kussill's statement that t!iej Would Leave II . fore I omorro Didn't Hold Water -Mimy Theori-s as to a New ' amp Thf Cod of War, His Excellency Daniel L Russell's statement to the contrary notwithstanding the soldier boys comprising the Second Regiment at Camp Dan Rust-ell will spend an other Sabbath day in Raleigh. Tuesday last the Governor made the statement that the Second Regiment would be ordered to leave before to morrow, but up to this hour of writing no orders or rumors of orders have arrived at the camp and Col. Burgwyn is as ignorant of the time of depart ure as is the humblest private in the rear ranks of the youngest company. The boys, while anxious to go to the front, do not look forward with much pleasure to the probability of spending the summer at either Jack sonville. Tampa, or Chicamauga. Park and would greatly prefer remaining in Raleigh where the kind women of this city have looked after their wel fare with such a kindly interest. All statements as to the point to which the Second Regiment v, ill be ordered are mere speculations though some may guess the camp at which the Carolina boys will spend the sum mer. Three weeks aero the therny was ad vanced that the Second would go to Manila with the reinforc-ienientf; for Dewey and closely following came ru mors of orders near at hand calling the men to Jacksonville to be with the First Retriment of North Carolina Volunteers orol'-r General Lee to j?o To I'orlo Ricn i.i- i'or the army of inva sion to be used at the lime of the attack on Havana. (Hia. rs have presented the idea that Col. Rurgwyn's "vgiincnt would he giv en coast defense dut. . but this was not considered lon: as the condition uf the war did not point to the possibility of infantry being needed as coast de fense, in fact it was thought more probable that if the reported utterance of President MeKinley. in which he was quoted as saying that the war would be carried into Spain, were true the Second wouid be used in the army to cross the Atlantic and march from Cadiz to Madrid. All the theories are equally groundless .though army men generally say the second is certain to be ordered somewhere within ten days or two weeks. General Burke, several days since, said to a reporter in Alanta that he had no information as yet s to where the various colun teer regiments under his command would be ordered. Out at camp Russell the boys are not not complaining but they are deeply ashamed of the deserters and are al most universally In favor of some severe punishment. Tomorrow morning Chaplain Osborn will conduct the usual Sabbath services and the regiment will still be at the same old stand. MISS HALE'S SUCCESSOR. Mrs. Barbee Will Probably be Princi pal of Centennial School. At the called meeting of the School Board on June 2Mh a successor to Miss Mable Hale, who recently resign ed as principal of the Centennial Grad ed School will be selected. The name of her successor is not known and the School Roard's inten tion is to leave the matter entirely In the hands of Superintendent Moses, who is now in Tennessee getting ready to come here and prepare his perma nent home for his family. While it was suggested that a man should be placed in enlarge at the Centennial School this is not thought absolutely necessary and in fact it is thought a lady teacher fully capable of filling the position to the entire sat isfaction of the patrons of the school is among the corps of teachers already employed. It is known that the position was tendered to Mrs. Barbee and that she declined, but an extra effort is being made to induce her to accept and to take charge of the school. As a teacher she has few equals in the South and there is no better disciplin arian. There are also two new teach ers to he elected and they will be nam ed at the June meeting. LIEUT. WOOTRN'S SUCCESS! Lieutenant Bradlev Wnntpn nf ihc Second Regiment Is well known in Raleigh and there arc many people who rejoice in his success as an offi cer of the Second Regiment. It will be fi. pleasure to his many friends if the prediction of the New York Herald pans out for his good. The Herald states that one hundred second lieutenants for the regular army are to be appointed from the volunteer forces and that Mr. Wooton, on ac count of his excellent record, both in the volunteer service and as a. radet ofiicer at the A. and M. College, is to be the lucky man from North Carolina. "THAT MOSQUITO FLEET." .Will not bother you at Ocean View! if you are so fortunate as to get there in 0)0 Totiernaffie recursion.

How could I dare When in the evening watch I knelt to pray To ask for help to bear my pain and loss, If I had heeded not my brother's cross? If I might sing A little song to cheer a fainting heart, And I should seal my lips and sit apart, When I might bring A bit of sunshine for life's ache and smart How could I hope to have my grief relieved If I kept silent when my brothers grieved ? And so I know That day is lost wherein I fall to lend A helping hand to some wayfaring friend ; But if it show A burden lightened by the cheer I send. Then do I hold the golden hours well spent, And lay me down to sleep in sweet content. A WAR STORY.
