Although the weather was bad last Friday and Saturday, the meeting of Pitt county held in the school Saturday morning, Jan. 13th. was a happy A good crowd was present, and all enjoy the time spent pleasantly together. Those teachers who came over and roads deserve much credit, hut be it said injustice to they would not have come an cheerfully it they had not that there something good In store for them at the end of their journey, for the meetings of Pitt county have never other than inter- eating and Inspiring. Owing to the fact that a number of the teachers the was not and the meeting was made informal. The devotional exercises were by Rev. H. H. Moore. Plat, Smith, or the Greenville graded school, was introduced to the association. He made an excellent Impromptu speech, In which he spoke highly-, of the work the Is doing, and expressed a desire to be of service in the work. Miss formerly a teacher of this county, told something of her work in the graded and represented the aloe edited her brother, of New York. , Last, least, came the address by Prof. W. B. Dove. graded school. Mr. Dove tried a very manner to impress upon the teachers the of being doing their beat, and at the same time veiling themselves and their work. Severn short talks were made at intervals by W. H. who la always willing to speak an encouraging and helpful word to the teachers, over whom he haw supervision. Pamphlets by able authors on geography and nature were distributed. Thia meeting, though its attend- ant was necessarily smaller did much good, and will long be remembered by those present as a most pleasant occasion.

Representative made splendid fight today to amend the Philippine tariff bill so as to give the President authority to reduce the import duty on the class of goods manufactured In this try which are sold at a lower price In foreign countries than at home. In a ringing three-minute speech Mr. emphasized the import and put the stand-pat Republicans in a very light. Singular as it may a large element of Re- publicans led by Mann, of Illinois, with the democrats in Mr. when he con- The speech was one of the best the Congressman ever made. The amendment offered by Mr. was of objected to on a point of order by the floor leader, Payne, and ruled out by the siding officer. In his speech Mr. said in it always happens, that whenever any bill is intro- duce here which helps the con- sumer there la always some little rule In the way of It and it seems impossible to get it before the House. I if yon would give me time, and listen to me, I show amendment not out of order, but from the ruling of the Chair I confess have bet little hope, and therefore I conclude by I have intro- this a last resort, in the Hope that the baring at heart the interest of the million's of people who are under the nation of the trusts and combines, will allow this amendment to before this House. If I occupied position, so help me God, I would put this amendment before this House if every other commit tee of the every Speaker of every Congress, had from time Immemorial ruled to the contrary.

At times he wept over what he regarded as the indignities to Mrs. Morris, and his eye were full of tears when he declared in the face of protest from his fellow Senators that he would demand an investigation of the White House incident. Why Not Change If the evening train is going to continue coming in late, its schedule has just as well be changed so as to make connection at Hobgood with the train from Norfolk. It comes in plenty late for that connection, if the time was token up beyond Hobgood instead of waiting at Parmele. We believe the change would be a good one.
