TARBoRo, N, c., April IL, 1896.
Messrs. Prince & Wilson.
Dear Sirs: am always glad OF an
opportunity of expressing my apprecia-
ton of your school. My brother has
been pupil of the school for the past
two years, and his progress has been
eminently satisfactory. 1t is matter
of special satisfaction to me that when
he enters College next fall he will not
find himself handicapped as 80 many
young men have been by insufficient
preparation under incompetent in
structors. I believe the correct meth
cd of thought and the spirit of self-re-
lance inculcated under your tutelage
will be of incalculable advantage to
him, not only at College, but through
life. Yours truly,
Wv. SAVAGE,
Pastor Tarboro Baptist Church,
Former Prin. Raleigh Graded Schools.

such a school in our community.
believe there is no better Academy in
the State.
"The Superintendendents, Messrs.
Prince & Wilson, are both .self-made
men, ana we'll made at that. Both
are highly educated, polished Chris
tian gentlemen, we'll adapted to teach
ing. The energy and zeal displayed
| by them claim the commentator OF
all. The behavior of the students in
the barracks, on the streets, at church,
in tact everywhere, is gentlemanly-a
characteristic of all their students.

My Dear Sirs: I'cheerfully take ad-
vantage OF the occasion to congratu-
late you upon the success you are
making, and should make, as educa-
tors. In my opinion, your surround
ings afford you sufficient guarantee of
future success. You are situated in .
healthy and progressive town with .
moral reputation unsurpassed, and
your own reputation as Christian gen.
tlemen should fully assure your patrons
aud all parents that the boy entrusted
to you will be properly cared for. I
am perfectly satisfied with the progress
my son has made under you the past
fifteen months. If may in any way
serve you and your school, command
my services.

MESS. PRINCE AND WILSON,
Dear Sirs Permit me to add my
testimony to the creditable manner in
which your boys have acquitted them
selves in their public speeches and de-
bates. It was wise step when you Or
ganized in your school the Colomathean
and Alamedan Societies. The original
orations and debates, and the declama-
tions at your public entertainments re-
fleet the virtue of these Societies, and
the splendid work which Is being done
in them. The warm interest which
their members manifest in them attests
the excellence of their organization.
No one has failed to observe the marks
of rapid improvement made by the
boys since their institution In the
school. Truly they could be called the
right arm of your Academy. The last
public debate and the recent "Southern
Night" would have done credit to any
college rostrum. No feature of College
or Academy should be more fostered
than its Literary Societies. I am glad
that your Academy recognizes and acts
the truth OF the proposition.
Yours truly,
CLAUDE KITCHIN,
Atty and Counselor at Law.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1896-08-13

Vine Hill Male Academy can not be
too highly recommended to parents
and guardians having SONS and wards
to educate. l voice the sentiment of
this community when I say that under
the management of Messrs. Prince and
Wilson it has attained degree of ex-
cellence equal to any High School in
North Carolina. The discipline is mild
but firm. The progress of my son and
brothers has been highly satisfactory in
every way. These gentlemen have
ripe scholarship combined with the
power to lmpart.
The Boarding Department Is under
the management of most excellent
lady. On visit to the clearinghouse
one is reminded more OF happy faml-
ly than of boardlng-school.
Very respectfully,
w. A. DUNN,
Atty at Law.

Ny Dear Sirs: / am we'll pleased
with the progress made by my son In
his studies, as we'll as the general train
ing under your tutorship. I believe
you possess qualifications of high Or
der in the management of school. 1t
is my opinion that no Academy in the
State ranks higher.
Very respectfully,

Seattle, Oct. 4.-The City of Topeka
arrived from Alaska at midnight with
the news that the salmon-laden steamer
Chilkat had gone ashore at full speed
in Tongas narrows, eighty miles south
of Fort Wrangel, and twenty -one miles
from Ketchikan. 1t happened in
thick, misty weather, at 2 O'Clock Sun
day morning. The shore is rocky, and
the bottom of the steamer soon let in
the water till she sank with her stern
under water. Captain ]. w. McAllep
informed Captain Wallace, of the To-
peka, that he thought by discharging
all the salmon, the vessel can be raised.
The cargo is going ashore in lighters.
Her forefoot and part of the keel are
gone, and after few days on the beach
she may come south with part of her
cargo. The Topeka had passengers
from the Yukon and other mines, and
fully $1OO,OOO in gold by private indi-
viduals was brought down.

Baltimore, Oct. 4.-Colonel John A.
Cockrel, writing from Yokohama to
the Manufacturers Record, says:
''The Cotton-Spinners' Association,
of Osaka, is now trying to induce the
Japanese government to subsidize a
line of steamers to ply between Osaka
and Yokohama and point on the west
coast of Mexico. The idea is to Sc
cure steamship line wholly controlled
by the Japanese government, and
which will connect with the Tehuante-
pee road. By this route it is thought
the cotton states can be reached much
cheaper than by way of Tacoma. 1t is
likely the enterprise will be carried
out, for the japanese are giving much
attention to colonizing Mexico"

One Town Where the New Garment
viii Not Be Worn.
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 4.-The
women of this city may ride bicycles,
but they have put away all idea of
adopting boomers, and all on account
of clever trick resorted to by those
who oppose the fashion.
When the craze first struck the city
none but extremely young girls appear
ed ON the streets in bifurcated gar
ments. 1t was whispered, however,
that young women, and some not so
young, were hastily preparing their
new suits. Then the ti.bloomerites
played it low down. They employed a
coal-black negress of ponderous weight
and fiabby form to ride a bicycle
through the streets day after day.
They attired her in gorgeous costume,
consisting of a flaming.red waist, blue
trousers with a wide white stripe down
the sides, and bright yellow hose.
Owing to her great avoirdupois this
grotesque figure perspires at every pore
as she wheels along the streets, but she
was we'll paid for her labor, and the
hloomer craze has been killed forever
in Birmingham.

cially confirmed that General Reyes,
secretary of the government, is at b.
ga, Cauca department, with about 200
men. General Miguel Montoya has
been appointed chief of the Pacific
coast army between Louella Ventura
and Tunemaco. These measures are
said to be precautionary against Ecua-
dor but they are not apparently justi-
fed by the affairs of Ecuador, and they
are not compatible with Caro's message
of September 6, and with Alfaro's as
surance of neutrality and evident de-
sire to respect the rights of Ecuador s
neighbors.
