of taking that money and enlarging
Wake Forest college and admit
ting the girls to that institu-
ton. He spoke with felicity about
the recent action of the State University
in endowing chair of history. Then
he went on in a general educational talk
which literally thrilled the large assem-
bly, of teachers present. They hung
with breathless interest on his words
He said and proved that the calling of
the teacher was the noblest one that hu-
manity followed, and he told the teach
ers that they did not know, nor could
they expect to know how much good
they were doing in and for the world.
Among other things DR.. Curry said he
would not have missed visit to the
teachers assembly for any consideration;
and he talked like he thought it was one
of the greatest organizations in this
country, and it really is.
Tonight Hon. Thos. J. Jarvis address
ed large audience in assembly hall. He
talked chiefly about public schools.
Every body in North Carolir Knows
what champion of education he is and
would naturally expect to hear some
thing very strong from him when an
nounced to speak on this subject. But
tonight he was unusually strong and
eloquent, and it seems pity that every
body in the State could not have heard
him.
Three Men Drowned.
The only sad accident which has hap
pened in this vicinity .since the meeting
of the Teachers Assembly occurred to-
day. Two boatmen, Ephraim Fulcher
and younger man named Ward, started
up Bogue Sound to Swansboro, a dis
tance of twenty-six miles. Prof. L. w.
Hargett heard they were going, and en-
gagged passage with them. He was as
sistant teacher in the Pollocksville Acad
envy, and had been here attending the
Teachers assembly. The party started
from here yesterday afternoon. This
morning som3 fishermen came in, bring
ing the dead bodies of Fulcher and
Ward. The fishermen reported that
they We're cut on the sound looking for
fish, about inc miles from Morehead, !,
when they found the fated party started
from here was also two bodies. The
sklff in which the iil,found bottom
upwards.
There was very severe storm up the
sound yesterday and the fishermen sup
pose the skiff was caught in the squaIl
and upset.
The finding of the bodies of the boat
men of course created the greatest anx-
ienty as to the fate of young Mr.. Har-
gett. His friends at first hoped that he
had been able to save himself by swim
ming or drifting to the shore, but their
best hopes have been shattered. A
short while ago party which has been
out hunting around the vicinity in which
the dead boatmen were found, came in
bringing the dead body Of Mr.. Harg 1T.
An inquest was held over the remains
tonight, and the body was sent to New
Berne by special train.
| A handsome crayon portrait of Presi
dent Louis Henry Smith was hung il
the assembly hall to day.
