Interesting Report Of State Super
intendent Of Public Instruction.
One-Third of - Children Attend
School. Fortune Made Remarks. '
- Insurance CompaalesIaThls i
State. Portraits In ' I
- State library. ' ' I
Ralbioh, November 14 The State
Supeilatendent of Public Instruction
completed the statistical portion of his
report for this year. . It shows that the
receipts made a total of $898,581. . ;
The disbursements were: For white
school teachers $320,416; negroes $316,
491; Croatan Indians $1,436; white school
houses $43,837; negro school - bouses
$13,061; total disbursements $926,891;
the . apportionment to the white
schools is $575,441, and to negro schools
$236,894. The assessed Tains of white
property Is $346,723,000 and of negro
property $8,980,000. There are 181,548
white polls and 71,744 negro polls.' The
amount actually paid for the schools by
whites Is $523,808 and by negroes $71,-
18i " f .
Of children of' school age there are
403,787 whites and of these there are en
rolled 263,3 1 7, while the average atten
dance-is 140.163. . Of negro children
there are 198,600, of whom 127,899 are
enrolled, and the average attendance Is
67,148. M - - V " '
Tho average salary of while teachers
is : m ilei $26 8i : pjsr month, ' females
$33 65; of negro teachers males $32.53,
females $19.70. The average length of
to replaceTSchoo! terms Is for whites 8 .trifle over
fourteen weeas ana lor negroes a little
under thirteen weeks. There yet
remain 715 log school houses In the
Ststt.:s?';t.i;-s'f:s?'SVT::.'-'s';'
It thus appears that of the white
children 7-20 or a very little over on
third, attend school, while of the negroes
slmoit preoisely one-third attend. Tak
ing the polls- as a basis the avJBago
wealth of a white man la $1,859, aifil of
a negro $126. The negroes pay- almost
$1 each for schools; ..again taking the
polls as a ba;is the whitos pay $697 000
for schools, the negroes $71,184 - la oth
er words the negroes' pay about ..one-
seventh, while they are in proportion to
the whites, according to polls;- a 7 is to
18; In other words a little over one third
in numbers.

British Troops landing In Africa.
lady- j
.7, " smith to Be Relieved. :
Loudon, November IS Waiting for
the transports that teems to summarise
the situation In South Africa, as describ
ed in the latest dispatches, which come
under date of- Estcourl Thursday, and
Cape Town yesterday.
It, as is expected, all the first division
ships have been aent to Durban, just
8,000 men of the army corps are between
Cape Town and: Natal, or are already
landed In the latter colony. As the Ar
menian, which arrived at the Capes yes
terday, has three batteries of field artil
lery, General Helhuen will be able ' to
move to General White's help .much
earlier than had been expected. v'
The absence of late newa ' from Natal
and Cape Colony polnta unmistakably to
the fact that Important moves are ma
turing. These will probably be la two
directions first, toward Colenso to re
lieve Ladyamith and to reeaptnre the
important bridges over the Tugela river;
seconL,ln the direction of the Orange
river bridge and threatening the ap
proaches to Bloemfonteln. ' ''.
the fortified camp at Ladyamith. must
have been a hot place Thursday "last, as
the JSstconrt dispatches say big guns
were booming all day.
The northern Cape Colony frontier
shows tbe liners In force, but either
from facie of horses, ' rising rivers or
fear of the possibilities of an advance,
they remain practically V a predatory
band. v -
Fighting was almost a daily occur
rence at Mafeking during tho last days
of October.;; The latest dispatches say
ill is well there, Colonel Baden-Powell
his been maintaining his position with
great energy. The same la troe of Kim-
berley. - ' ,
At all polnta, Il is said here, the Doer
rush seems to be checked.: The British
are cow preparing for tbe tremendous
task of pushing them tack. Ton trans
ports In all have arrived in South Afri
can waters, and 18,000 men, In rough
numbers, have been added te the British
forces, out of which at least half have
been aent to Durban. .. Eleven thousand
more are due at Cape Town today, r-;
Dr. W. Wixbn, Italy Uill, N. Y., saye
''1 heartily-; recommend . One Minute
Cough Cute. It gave my wife. Imme
diate relief in suilocatldg, asthma."
Pleasant to take - Never falls to quickly
cure all coughs, colds, throat and lung
troubles. F. rt. Duffy.
TAKING POSSESSION.
Fltlpplnos Beaten at all Points. Arrival
. ; of Troops Has Great Effect. .
- Maxilla. November 18. The Ameri
cana are continuing their advance north
ward In Luzon so rapidly that the Filip
inos have not time necessary to destroy
the railroad. -' .' .
General Young Is supposed to have
reached San Nicholas about 80 miles eaat
of Dagupau, but his wsgons are far be
hind. '.-
Major Coleman is In Carranglan, with
an escort of 173 Bolomen, on bis way to
tbe Province of Nenva y laaya.
Colonel Hayes has captured Agulnal
do's secretary. Tbe son of General Lie
nors and his family are prisoners. The
General barely escaped. , , -
Tba recent encounters were loo one
sided to be called fights. The Filipinos
seem afraid of the Amerlcaus, however
strong their position. They make bat a
brief and feeble resistance, and run when
the ten llil e American yell reaches their
ears. The Americans pursue tbesa and
slay many.
The moral effect of the now that
thouaanils of troops are on their way
here has been unquestionably great.
Tbe Fillpptuoa are suuoring more
from dln-aae than the Americans, owing
to poor food, lack of medicines and San
llary hospitals. . There is great mortality
among thorn. '
