FX PL A MAT I ON Offic rs of Third Heginieit Clrtim flint Their Hejri ment Suffers for Others Sins Lieutenant Gilmer stated to a Jour nal and Tribune reporter yesterday that it Is an injustice to his regiment for the citizens of that community to place all the blame of, the boisterous conduct of certain of .lite colored sol diers on the North OuUlinians. He eaya that Private BurJtftyjfhltfleld, the soldier who is now "tn-tte' guard house for, throwing stones at an unoffending eltlzen 1s not right In his mind and Is not therefore really responsible for his acta . Aa to the complaints of the men using pistols at night and causing the resi dents of the neighborhood much alarm for their safety, he savs that all the pistols have been taken away from men of his regiment. "They did not have any pistols at all when we came here," said Lieutenant Gilmer, 'but while on our way here we met the First Penaylvanians, who told us to look out for the Georgians. This made the boys fear that they would have trouble when they got here and some of them pro cured pistols to be prepared for trouble. After the unfortunate affair, some time ago, which caused so much talk on the streets In Knoxville, a large number of our men purchased pistols from the Minnesota bn-'s, who charged big prices for them. They did this because they imagined the Georgia soldiers wore loaded for them and that there would be trouble. Now that the Georgians have "one the" have willingly given up their pistols and if there is any more shooting done it will not be by our sol diers. The shooting this afternoon occurred in the following manner: Some civil ians came to the camp and got some of the soldiers involved in a game of craps, and in the row which followed a soldier from the sixth Virginia regi ment gave one of the civilians a pistol, with which he shot at one of our sol diers, who was not in the game at all. I am sorry that the blame of all this troub e has been placed on the North Carolinians for I know that the major ity of our men are quiet and peaceable, and that there are men in the Oi...er regiment who do things which they blame on our boys. For instance there was a row at a colored church near here the other night, and one of the sol diers engaged in it, said, 'I am from North Carolina and I ain't afraid of anybody.' When traced down this man was found to belong to the other regiment" Knoxville Journal and Tri bune. GRAND OPENING. W. E. Jones Opens His Millinery De partment This Evening.

Mrs. Meredith Preaches to a Packed Church. The Central Methodist Church was packed to overflowing last night. Mrs. Meredith is the first Woman revivalist who has visited Raleigh in years and, of course she is drawing large crowds. Last night the church was not only packed but the Sunday school room was filled. Mrs. Meredith's text was found in Hebrews, twelfth chapter and first verse: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lot us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so eas ily beset us, and let us run with pa tience the race that is set before us." Mrs. Meredith first impressed upon her hearers what it means to see. She told several striking incidents illustra ting her point. When Columbus saw a bush floating by his vessel that meant to him that land was near. She then pictured the similarity between this and the spiritual world for we are told that "seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of wit nesses." The speaker told of her personal ex perience. She said that for three months after she was converted she longed and agonized for deliverance from sin. She walked the floor at night seeking peace. She had never heard of the doctrine of sanctiflcation then. Finally the Lord came to her and peace entered her soul. She was enabled to lay aside every weight In discussing santification she drew a distinction be tween temptation that came from with in and that which comes from without. Freedom from the desire to sin is the relief secured. Mrs. Meredith was very earnest and some interest was shown by the uncon verted. The meeting continues through the week; mornins: service at 9:30, and evening service at 7:30. WAKE SUPERIOR COURT. Court met at 9:30 o'clock this morn ing. Judge H. R.

IMPORTANT REPORT Snpf. XI bin will Recom mend Many Changes SEPARATE COMMITTEES Snpt, M. bane Tackles the Book Question Wants ounty Supervisors Elected Bv the 1 eachers and Educe ton The State Superintendent of Educa tion is required by law to make recom mendations to the General Assembly regarding the educational Interests of the State. Superintendent Mebane is now hard at work on this report and it will contain many recommendations which are of great interest to the peo ple. The forthcoming report will not be confined to making a careful survey of the public school problem and the State educational institutions, but the Su perintendent will also devote space to the denominational colleges, academies ind private schools. This space will be furnished such institutions at what it costs the State. Mr. Mebane makes very radical re commendations in regard to changing the present school law respecting coun ty supervisors of education. He will advise that a supervisor shall be a graduate of some college, or of not a graduate, that he be required to pass an examination for a life certificate to teach in the public schools. The report will point out the evil of county politics entering into the selec tion of supervisors and to overcome this Mr. Mebane advises that each county supervisor be elected by the teachers and educators of the county; each per son holding a first grade certificate or a life certificate and each teacher in the county who is a graduate of a State chartered college having a vote. In regard to the county boards of ed ucation his recommendations are: 1st. That these boards be required to publish an itemized statement of their annual receipts and disburse ments. 2d. That they post in each school room the text books used and theprices for the same. 3d. That a treasurer for the school fund be elected by the County Board of Education. Superintedent Mebme recommends that the number of school committee men be increased from five to six, and that there be three committeemen for the white schools and three for the colored; no man to be eligible for com mitteeman unless he can write his name and possesses qualifications for ordinary business. If three suitable colored men cannot be found white men shall be appointed. Mr. Mebane advises the repeal of the clause requiring that not more than three committeemen be of one political narty. He thinks the bst men should be elected without regard to party. The report will strongly recommend increasing the nowers of the State Roard of Examiners and that the text books be adopted by this board the maximum price not to exceed 75 per cent of the publishers' list wholesale prices. If the Assembly decides that the text books should be choFen by the local boards then Mr. Mebane recommends the Ohio law. JUDGE PURNELL COMPLIMENTED The Lynchburg News contains a high compliment to Judge Purnell of this city who has been holding court there. The jury sent Judge Purnell a letter saying: 'We the undersigned members of the jury now serving under you, are exceed ingly anxious to obtain some moments of a judician experience that has been exceedingly pleasant to us. We have been with you nearly two weeks, and the manner in which vou have con ducted yourself as a Judge has so fa vorably impressed itself upon us from every standpoint that we are desirous of carrying away with us something that will recall this association. To this end we would deem it a favor if you would permit Mr. A. H. Plecker, at the corner of Main and Ninth streets, totake your photograph in order that we mav have the pleasure of seeing you even when you are absent." His Honor was almost overcome by such a manifestation of esteem and told Mr. Gilliam to say to the members of the jury that he appreciated their kind ly sentiment. As soon as possible the Judge repaired to Mr. Pletker's studio and sat for the photograph. YELLOW FEVER. By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor. NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 28.
