(Special to the Journal) Newark, Ohio, Sept. .25 Capt. J. L. Styron, formerly of Newark, but now of Columbus, is in the city, ,and yester day afternoon attended the G. A. R. open meeting,' where he made an ad ' dress. Capt. Styron, who last spring was at New Bern, hunting forthe grave, of his father was reated royally by the people of the South, deeply felt that an injustice was done the Confederate Veterans in refusing to permit them to march in the parade at Chattanooga and so expressed himself in his talk. At the conclusion of his address he offered resolutions expressing regret at the action in not permitting the Confed erates to march, which were adopted. Captain Styron said: . -"Comrades of the G. A. R.; "I am no speaker and you must not expect a speeclj from me. "We should be thankful to our Heavenly Father for being permitted to be able to be here today. When we look back to the dark days of '61 to '65 and realize what this country suffered by reason of war and real ize the large number of brave men on both sides of the conflict who gave up their lives during the ter rible struggle, we should feel that we were spraed, for some good cause, and what better cause could we be engag ed in than "brotherly ove" and en deavor to w ipe out any and all feel ings of animosity or enmity between the people of the north or the south I do not think there is one particle of animosity existing between the in telligent class of either north or south. My experience in the south during my recent visit there is ample proof of my belief the courteous reception ex rended to me by the best citizens in North Carolina, where I assisted in raising a regiment of infantry for the Union Army whicih was recruited in the cities and towns where I visited, and my father, who was a captain in the United State Navy was wounded at the second battle of Roanoake Is land in 64 and died from the effects of the wound at New Bern, N. C, June 16, 1864, and is buried inthe National cemetery there, and myself were well known as being very strong in de fense of the Union cause. If there existed any ill feeling I certainly would have been ostracized and "snub bed'but far from it. I was received with open arms and, entertained at the homes of the best citizens of the various cities where I visited, and the most enthusiastic to entertain me were veterans of the Confederate army. "Comrades, the war ended in 1865-, and I am yet to hear one Confederate soldier say anything but what he was glad the war - ended just as it did. They realize that the war was neces sary in order to make our flag a more 'truthful flag' 'the land of the free, and home of the, brave. -And com rades .feeling as I do and knowing as I have said the eeling oby the south ern , people toward us here .in the north, and learning of the unjust and indiscreet ; acts at Chattanooga of some uhthoughtful person or persons in refusing the Confederate soldiers and the' 'adiesy ' who were invited by the members of the G. A. R. to par ticipate in the parade there, I most respectfully suggest that we here as sembled introduce and pas's resolu tions condemning such action and offer :,i ing the Confederates our regrets. MRS. WM, HOLLISTER SUFFERS ' - , STROKE OF PARALYSIS. Mrs, William HolIisterf who resides at -the t corner of Broad and George streets, suffered a stroke of paralysis early yesterday morning. A message from her home last night was to the effect that she ,was much improved, Mrs. Hollister- .has been, spending the summer in . the Western part of the State and only returned home on last Tuesday night. " One nice thing about a summer vaca ". tion is the way you can go home and . rest up afior it is over. . " , MALARIA EXPERT GOING AGAIF1 Dr. Henry R. Carter Is To Pay Another Visit To 'Eastern North Carolina. HE WILL DELIVER LECTURES Itinerary" Includes Klnston, More- head City, Jacksonville And Other Places. Several weeks ago Dr. Henry R. Carter, a Government expert on mal aria, visited Eastern North Carolina and made a study of the malarial con dition of this section after which he pointed out to the health authorities the spots where the malarial mos quitoes breed, and explained to them how these germ carriers might be exterminated. Dr. Carter spent two days in New Bern studying the conditions here and before leaving, made a very interesting address on his findings while in the city and his suggestions to the health officers have already been put in effect and.much good is expected to result from them. Hon. Jno. M. Faison, Congressman from the Third District, has arranged for Dr. Carter tp again visit this sec tion. 1 he following letter in regard to this matter was received yesterday by the Journal from Congressman Faison: "I have just arranged with Dr. Rupert Blue, U. S. Surgeon- General for Dr. Henry R. Carter, Expert on Malaria in the U. S. Public Health Service, to investigate malaria and malarial mosquitoes and lecture on these and general sanitation at Kinston, Morehead City, Jacksonville, Wil mington and Clinton. ' His work will begin about the 1st or 2nd of October and he will finish this ittnerary about October 15th. He will visit these towns in the order named above or in the reverse order. "I will thank you to put a notice in the next issue of your paper, stating that I have made this arrangement and urge the people to hear this dis tinguished physician and expert on this very vital question. It means so much to our people in Eastern North Carolina and everybody should avail themselves of this opportunity to become better informed on this subject." While Congressman Faison's letter does not mention the fact that Dr. Carter will visit New Bern during his itinerary, it is more than probable that he will spend a day or two in the city while in this section and may de liver another lecture. BET TO RESCUE E THE SALVATION ARMY IS TRY ING TO REDEEM KINSTON YOUNG WOMAN. Captain Satterfield, commander of the local branch of the Salvation Army, left last .evening for Kinston where to day he will raise funds to ' be used in defraying the expense of taking a wayward girl of that place to the Army's Rescue Home at Greenville, S. C. This case is a pathetic one in the extreme and the Salvation Army is. exerting every effort to redeem this unfortunate girl and the citizens of Kinston have already promised to give Captain Satterfield assistance in any possible way. He will spend today in. that town and return to New Bern tomorrow and will probably take the young woman to Greenville on Monday.' The rescue work done by the local branch of the Salvation Army is attract ting the attention of the public of this section and ' their efforts are re ceiving the commendation vof ; all. During the past few months a number of young women who were on the road to ruin have been rescued and taken to the' Army , home tat Greenville, and very encouraging reports f have been received from the management in regard to ; their deportment after being entered there. ' , Attmore Brabble who came . here several months ago to accept the posi tion as manager at the Gaston Hotel, returned last evening to Rocky Mount o resume his duties as manager at the Ricks Hotel at that .place.

' " , Speech is used by lots of people to conceal that' they think. . . VIRG GUARD WON ally desires some way in which to reach the grounds without any delay, and in the motor line which the new company will put into service soon, this long felt want will be gratified. Just what type of motor bus will be purchased has not been definitely decided upon. However, they will probably be similar to those used during the last Fair, only larger and and more comfortable. In addition to the operation of the motor line, the company will also operate a line of boats between the city and the Fair grounds and the majority of the freight will be transported on these. The stockholders in the new company state that the line will be in operation by the latter part of next month, in time for the approaching Fair. IMPEACHMENT sought to make the banker explain how his campaign contribution of twenty-five hundred dollars could be diverted to Sulzer's personal use in face of expressed notation on the face of the check showing that it was to be used for campaign purposes alone. Schiff's replies were not satisfactory to the Sulzer opponents and he was told to stand aside. Louis A. Sarecky, confidential sec retary to Governor Sulzer, was found today by subpoena servers and late this ffternoon was brought into the anteroom adjoining the court, but was not called upon to give any evidence. Richard Croker, jr., appeared to day and it is expected that he will testify against Governor Sulzer. L. WILL NOT BE CONNECTED WITH THE LOCAL SCHOOLS NEXT TERM. Prof. H. B.

Mr. Malone has travelled all over the United States and several other countries during the past few years giving exhibitions of pool and billiards. Not . only is he an expert at playing a straight game of either the above games, but he has a number of tfick shots that are indeed marvelous. Tonight he will give another exhi bition at the club and tomorrow night will play a game of pool or billiards with some local player, and this latter event bids fair to be especially inter esting. Even those who have an iron con stitution must obey the laws and by laws of nature. READ BLANKS SENT OUT Bf STATE SUPT. J. Y. Joyner Forwards Supplies For Itemized Statement Of Six Months School. THE LAW LIMITS AMOUNT County Superintendent S. M. Brin- son Also Receives At tendance Cards. S. M. Brinson. County Superin tendent of public schools, yesterday received from J. Y. Joyner, State superintendent of public schools, blanks which will be used for the itemized statement of funds needed for a school term of six months on a basis of tea chers salaries, to lie submitted to the State Board of Education on or before December 1, duly sworn to; this appor tioned on the basis of salaries of tea chers actually employed. The law limits the amount which can be paid from this fund to not over S40 a month to the first grade teachers, S.50 to second grade and S20 to the third grade. The board, however, is not limited to these amounts in fixing monthly salaries for the four months or more provided by the county, but irrespec tive of the salaries paid out of the county and district funds in any par ticular district, the schools in that distirct must be run for the addi tional period designated for which salaries are allowed and apportioned from the equalizing fund. To illustrate: If a teacher has been legally employed in a district at a salary of S50 per month for four months or more for which funds have been provided by county and district apportionment and an ap portionment of the maximum salary of $41) for salary of said teacher for an additional month is made from he State equalizing fund, then the teacher must teach the additional month for a salary of S40, unless the addition 10 is provided by local taxation, private subscription, or o herwise. The county superintendent cannot legally approve the teach er's voucher for salary for a less pe riod than the designated period of one month and the use of the $40 apportioned therefor, or any part of it, for any less period than that des ignated, would be a misdemeanor. Superintendent Brinson has also received the compulsory attendance blanks from Superintendent Joyner and these are being distributed among the attendance officers in the various sections of the county and it will be their duty to fill these in with the name of every child who tloes not attend school and return them to the county super intendent who will then take steps to have the compulsory attendance law enforced. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx g Program at The $ Athens Today x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxj Two Franks.
