GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY.
THE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION.
Session Fail of Interest.
Notwithstanding the bad roads
throughout the county at this
season of the year, a large crowd
of teachers was present Saturday
and the meeting was one of the
finest during the year
On account of the sickness of
the president, Prof H. B. Smith,
and the vice president, Prof. W.
H. Cale, ex-president J. C.
Superintendent of
den graded schools, presided
The devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. J. E.
in a most appropriate manner.
After the minutes had been
read By the secretary, Miss
Boushall, the program was
taken up ,

The last one to the teachers of

competing must be sent in to
Prof. W H. by the

the first of April.
Next Miss Laura Cox, of the

most excellent paper on

the first head she suggested that
order first law and
that in school character to a
great extent is formed; under
the second, that every pupil
should be taught to respect
another's rights; and under the
third, control yourself first and
be considerate of the
rights.
The subject, to
Solve the Problems of School
was discussed by Prof. G
E. who is easily one of
the ablest instructors in the
state. He laid special stress on
securing attention and laid down
three ways in which it may be
secured as follows; Prepare
your text well before recitation;
Love the studies to be taught;
Plan out each recitation by
the vital points to be
brought out. Prof.
handled his subject in a
manner as only one who has
worked out these problems by
actual experience. We regret
that space forbids giving a full
synopsis of his address.
According to previous an-
Prof. N. D. Walker,
of the University of North Caro-
who is traveling in the
interest of the State high schools,
was present and was introduced
by Prof who referred
to him as doing a work second to
none in the importance in the
State for its educational advance-
Prof. Walker spoke on
the place of the State high
schools in our educational system
and their importance. He said
i hat the elementary schools
failed to train the children for
citizenship in that they did not
extend their course high enough.
The high school must take them
at this point and prepare them
for collate or for useful citizen
ship. Nearly two thousand
of our State falling
out every year and to a great ex-
tent these must be replaced by
those from the county high
schools, because our colleges are
inadequate to supply all these.
He made a special plea for
trained teachers.
At the close of this strong ad-
dress, Prof. R G. Kittrell, super-
of public instruction
and Tarboro graded schools, was
introduced to the association and
was extended a hearty welcome
All the teachers present were
inspired to go back to their re-
schools and do better
work than ever after hearing
these powerful addresses.
Notice to the Public.
From information received by
the undersigned it is apparent
that great damage was done by
the rain fall on Saturday night,
to the roads, dams and bridges
throughout the county, and I
take the liberty of suggesting to
the public that this damage
amounts to considerable and
therefore, of course, require
some time to repair.
I also desire herein to instruct
those who have heretofore been
authorized to look after certain
bridges to go at once to making
the proper reparation wherever
has been damage, and I
so desire to request the public
to notify me, or some
other member of the Board of
Commissioners, as soon as
where the damage is that
needs immediate so
that v may proceed to send
some one to make the necessary
repairs.
We hope the public will be
patient with the Board of Com-
missioners take into con-
the season of the year,
the weather and the necessary
hindrances and troubles that the
Board of will
encounter in trying to repair
these damages.

grand juror knows what crime is.
Judge Allen gave a brief history
of the jury system, and said
there was no more important and
honorable duty
upon a citizen. He said some
m-n have a wrong of
jury duty and invent all kinds of
excuses to shirk this duty, and
he had noticed that most of the
criticisms of courts and juries
come from the very men who
shirk the duty.
In this age so many business
men have their money invested
in corporations, that they act
against their own interests
they shirk jury duty. The line

Editor
Greenville should wake up, and
join Washington in establishing

of freight.
I was asked by one of the
chamber of commerce committee
to express my views ii. regard to
the business men cf Greenville
and Washington organizing a
company and establishing a boat
line from Norfolk to Washington
and Greenville for the purpose
of transporting their freights. I j
have often remarked that, it was
a great mistake for the business
men of Greenville and Washing-
tor, to allow the water facilities
for transporting freight to go
down, and allow the railroads to
gobble up their profits by
the freight rites from to

the Norfolk Southern
Railroad Co. purchased the Old
Dominion Steamship inter-
on Tar and Pamlico rivers
and took the freight boat off,
the freight on a bag of meal,
peas or corn o cents. Now
you have to pa cents per
bag, an increase of SO percent.
I am told the rate on all other
goods has increased proportion-
Now you business men see
what an injustice you are doing
yourselves and your business to
allow such a state of affairs to
exist. Don't be to the
true of facts. Open
your eyes and see yourself as the

In my judgment it would be

to letting the flat rate of
1-4 cents remain in force.
It is further agreed that these
