Increased Pay For Telegraph Opera tors. ... - Special to Journal. ; -, i '. Richmond, Feb. 20. The following telegram has been sent to all operators of the Western Union Telegraph Com' pany from the office of General Super intendent Levin ia a gratifying piece of news to all operators in the employ ment of the corporation .' - ; a , "This company has received petitions from sixteen offices In the west and southwest within the last sixty days, asking for an increase of ten per cent in the salary of employees. These' pe titions have been given careful consid eration bearing in mind that the compa ny could not discriminate in ; favor of a few offices, but that any action ta ken should be general. In thisconnec tion it has been necessary to consider the .en6mously; mcrMSed cost of all kinds of telegraph material, which, in many cases has been from fifty to one hundred per Vent, while the tariff rates on messages and other, traffic fifty to one hundred per cent while tai iff rates on messages and other tnffie are Very low in View of the demands bf the pub- hV for more rapid service, & fact' many of these ratea'are irelica of -former ; ' ruin ous competition and are onprpfitable, NotwitOis tending the facUthe com pany has decided to increase the sala ries "of operators and -managers at all of Its independent offices ' throughout the country ten per, cent from March L 1907.

They are alao un ci or indictment. The t:xtis due the State have been paid by the bondamen. -. V The Prospect of Locating the Eastern Carolina formal:! College: : wm it u uL'v t Improved? a . The' question of the establishment of the new Normal and Industrial College in Eastern Carolina has passed through the Vague uncertain stsges, the Gener al Assembly has . passed the bill, : the Governor has approved, of it and it now only depends upon the city that enn show the. best reasons for its location. There are ten cities in the race for the school of Which New Bern Is one. They all have advantages, but New Bern, by reason of her new ' developments, her growing population- and the generous offers made, her situation In regard to a railroad centre makes this city the logical choice for the location. What are the citizens going to do about It? Can it be possible that they will let s good thing go by without mak tag a single effort to land it? . It Is vi tally important to agit ate this - matter more vigorously than has been. and the people must wake up to this grand op portunity 'and if we lose it will be largely out fault: v ia addition to the plot of ground al ready offered there" is another tract which will be'an excellent location for either one building or a group of build ings which will .afford a splendid site for such an institution. . Doubtless there are other good locations; at any rate there will be no scarcity of lots thaiwiU be worthy of consideration, din lieu of . the objections to the es tablishment of a : normal college' that have been pouring . into the News and Observer from the interior of ihe State we publish an answer signed- by Prof. Craven and Supt Brinson setting forth the reason why a school of this nature should be established in the eastern part of the State. It states the case Well and. we believe that with these facts in the minds of people there 'will be more desire to obrain it. A copy of this letter has been sent to the News and Observer: J We nave recently seen a. few articles against the establishment of an eastern normal school by persons living in the central part of the State but have not noticed that anyone from Eastern North Carolina baa written to that time. .There are enough girls, who would make good teachers with proper train ing? east-of Goldsboro and between the Virginia and South Carolina lines to fill two normals as large as any in the State. as the matter now stands only about 600 of the girls in the whole State are allowed.a place where they can get this training. Those of us who live in the eastern part of the State and know the situation, know that we need ft Normal School without going 180 miles to get to one.V .Greensboro ia so far off that few go there from tjiis section, and the de mand is so great ia central North Car olina for teachers, that those who do go seldom return Jwme on account of positions offered by cities in the central part of the State. ; , - . v f There is only one graduate of the Greensboro . Normal now teaching in Craven county. We need , a;Normal near home, one that will encourage and stimulate the eastern part of the State. One that will have room lor the girls here; and if one will not do, 'then: we need two. As the altuation is now, the nearest college to us is 75 miles . off, those at Rajeigh, 120 mileand Greens OOrO 180 mlleS.!. -V' ':,:. -v ...... . The central part, ir all right they have colleges at Raleigh, Wake Forest Durham, University, Greensboro, Char lotte, Statesville and Davidson, but it is about time that the eastern part of the State bad a showing. With a good Normal centrally located, these eastern counties will put in it five hundred girls, 475 of whom will never get such training unless it is established in reach of us, and near enough to have some influence in this part of the State. . j ':x4fYU, B.

The ' play first raw the light in the Acatlemy of Music at Norfolk Sept 22, 1905. There was a tremendous display of1 enthusiasm on that memorable occa sion but not any more then was evi- dencd last evening. Tonight the thea tre was packed with the largest au dience in its his history, hundreds were turned away unable to gain - admit tance. Protests for political reasons had been made against the appearance of the play. Mayor Reddick attended the performance to judge for himself and said he saw nothing objectionable and in fact Was much pleased. The visit of the play will last three days and al ready every seat is sold for the balance of the engagement. Negotiations are on foot looking to the presentation of the Clansman for a long season at the Jamestown Exposition during the pres ent summer.
