dent of schools of Sampson county, and
was afterwards appointed County

most progressive, competent and en
thusiastic advocates of public education
in the state.
He made a state reputation in his ad
dresses before the State Teachers As
say, while holding a Teachers Irmitute
ir Sampson county, in 1900, thtlMr
Geo. E. Butler, by reformirthe ehiol
law of North Carolina aruf orig n tting
the Township System, had shown him
self to be one ef the greatest be tat tut
ors of the State, and was entire 1 to a
monument at the hand of the educat
ors of North Carolina.
Mr. Butler, while a member of the
Legislature of 1905, advocated mai y
other educational reforms, chief of which
was the election of a school officials in
each county, by a direct vote of the
people.
When the call for volunteers was made
in 1898, to enlist in the war with Spain,
Mr. Geo. E, butler was the first man in

Mr. Butler is a good lawyer And one
of the strongest advocates at the bar
in this section of the State. Born and
reared aa the son of a farmer, he served
his time aa a farm boy on his father's
farm, and upon receiving his education,
he has, as Teacher, Superintendent of
Public School, County School Examiner
Legislator, Soldier and Lawyer, proven
himself faithful, competent and pro
gressive, and can be relied upon to per
form, with ability and integrity, every
public and private trust reposed in him.

gates to the Republican State Conven
tion at luncheon tomorrow, he said he

Sagamore Hill until after his Southern
trip which he begins on Thursday, the
itinerary for which was completed to
day. The attack on Col. Roosevelt which
appeared today in the Dea Moines News
which is said to be Senator Cummins'
personal organ, brought forth no com
ment from the Colonel beyond the state
ment that he had heard of it. It is
known, however, that he regards the
State platform iot as an expression of
his own ideas, but rather aa a reflection
of the views of the party.

gins on October the 6ch. He will leave
New York in a private car at 3:25 p
m. The first stop will be at Bristol,

of Rome and viciuity.

ced ideas on papular ed i 'ation. He re
presented this district i i the State Sen
ate of 1897 and was the leading mem
ber of that body on all educational
matters and was the author of the new
school law, enacted by that body, which
was recognized then and now, by the
leading educators in the State, as tlip
best school law the State ever had.
The Township System and The Local
Tax System, first inaugurated by the
Legislature of 1897 gatfe the state the
greatest educational impetus in its his
tory. Mr. Butler, together with Or.
Chas. D. Mclver and other le iding edu
cators made a campaign of education in
this part of the State, advocating this
great educational reform.

the chosen representative of his party

Improved Local Freight Service.
For the benefit of shippers to points
on the Oriental and Washington divis
ions. Superintendent Walker at the re
quest of the Chamber of Commerce has
caused the hoars of receiving freight at
the Trent River warehouse to be chan
ged from 4 to 5 o'clock p. m. and has
nsugurated a daily freight service to
Washington and points beyond effec
tive Monday Oct. 3d. instead of the
tri weekly service as at present. These
changes ill enable merchants in this
city to forward freight the day orders
are received and will give better satis
faction all around.'

Extraordinary Sun Appearance.
Santa Clara, Cal; Oct l.--An ex
traordinary occurrence was observed
on the sun yesterday, announces the
Rev. J. S. Rickark, of the Santa Cla
ra College observatory, who last night
gave out the following statement.
"A group of spots on the solar axis
at 10:30 o'clock gathered in one so id
spot which was visible on a negative
taken at 3:80, but which was seen brok
en up into fragments on a negative
taken at 4:30. It is very seldom that
such a rapid fragmentation occurs.
"This unusual event la one of several
solar events that have been developing
from the beginning of last week up to
the present consisting of tbe appearan
c of one large spot, now about three
days from the west limb and of a group
Which appeared on September 12, and
which is still showing with undiminish
ed iplendor."
The Genus "Hobs,"
Fiction writers say that the day of
the professional hobo is a thing of the
past, but judging from the appearance
of an individual who "blew" into the
Journal office and solicited the price of
a "feed" that class of humanity la not
yet extinct. The person in question
showed evidences of much bard travel,
and in fact he stated to the writer that
he had walked all the way from Ashe-
vllle, N. C. and that he had come to
New Bern inendevor to secure employ
ment on some fishing vessel.
