mountains to search for the boy. This
morning, as nothing more had been heard
from the camp, large number of men
mounted on horses also went out. The
lost boys chances for freezing or starv-

told his story, which in substance is as
follows:
Saturday morning at 7:30 Mrs. Welt
mer, Mrs. Gulllford, Miss Gulliford and
Morris started to climb Badly mountain,
reaching the summit at 1890. Morris
Morris then started back to camp, the
others following more leisurely, and lost
his way. When he realized that he could
not find the camp he turned his steps
toward Santa Fe. Saturday night he
slept against log in the mountains.

er's camp. From Saturday morning
until Sunday evening he had nothing to
eat, but about shutdown yesterday after.

knew the direction of Santa Fe, and as he
had matches he kept warm Saturday night
without any trouble.

This organization continued during
the years 1894, 1895 and 1896, giving
much pleasure to its members, but ac-
complishing but little along the other
lines indicated in the preamble to it's
constitution.
In the Spring of 1897, the former club
having lapsed into a state of innocuous
disuetude, number of the members
met and decided to organize a new club
along somewhat different lines, and as
a result we have the Raleigh Cycle and
Pleasure Club with the following Off
GERS: President, Judge L. B. Womack,
ce-President, Charles Root, Secretary,
and Treasurer, f. w. Mailer and Cap
tain, Perrin Busbee.
In the membership of the club the
banks are represented by Messrs. Jack
son. Undertake, Litchford, Crow and
Jones; the legal fraternity by Messrs.
Busbee, Snow, Smith, Boyden and
Womack; the business men by Messrs.
Williamson, Foster, King, Pescud, Hart,
John Ward, Frank Ward, Mahler and
Kilgore; the Insurance business by
Messrs. John G. Drewry, T. 7. Hay and
Charles Root, while DIR. A. w. Knox
is the sole representative of the Raleigh
Academy of Medicine, and Tin Cobb
bears the entire weight of the Southern
Railroad.
The striking feature of this organiza-
ton is that it has no constitution and
no bylaws and does simply as it pleases.
Its objects are those which suggest
themselves to the members at any time,
almost always pure and simple enjoy
ment.
By resolution it's membership is linn
tied to twenty-five males and as many
women as they want to joint them. The
ladies enjoy the honor of being honor
airy members only, and, though partici-
pating in all of the pleasures of the club,
and contributing immensely to it's sue
cess, pay no admission fees or member
ship dues, the only injunction upon them
being that when invited upon club
run or a picnic they shall answer on
the return postal cards that are mailed
to them. The neglect to perform this
duty is visited with condign punishment.

THE AUGUST ELECTIONS.

Estate Normal MagaZine.)


BY the act of the last Legislature every
township in North Carolina will have
the opportunity of voting in August upon
the question of levying Il local township
tax to supplement its public school
fund.- and every township will receive
from the State an amount equal to the
amount raised by the special tax that
it levies provided that amount does not
exceed $500, which is the maximum that
any township may receive for this pur-
pose from the State treasury.
1t seems to us that the only hope for
any great improvement of our public
schools lies in local taxation. The State
has gone almost as far in the direction
Of Il general tax for public schools as
lheir most sanguine friends can reason
!ably hope for it to go, and still the public
schools are sadly inadequate to the stu
pendous work of educating the great
masses of our people Unless the people
Of the various country communities Of
North Carolina shall, like the people
of the leading towns and cities of the
State, have the wisdom clearly to see
and the courage bravely to perfOm their
duty in this matter by meeting the State
half way, by supplementing by local tax
the insufficient public school fund, the
public schools must continue to struggle
with a hopeless task, and thousands of
the present generation must still be
doomed to wear the CALLING yoke of ig
norance.
TO your tents, o, Israel! Friends Of
public education, lovers of humanity,
loyal sons and daughters of Carolina,
now is the time for you to show your
faith and your love by your works.
You stand face to face with the most
glorious opportunity that this generation
has had of securing an effective and ade-
quate system of common schools and
thereby banishing the blight of illiteracy
from every community in your beloved
State.
Men and women that love your State,
allow not this opportunity to pass I'M
used, buckle on your armOr, march forth
into every community of this common
wealth, and do battle with tongue and
pen, and influence the vote for local taxa
ton, the hope of the public schools.

FIRST PLACE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Edgecombe county has had longer
terms of its public schools than any other
county in the State. This has been large
ly due to the wisdom of Prof. f. S. Will
kinson, who is now forced to retire by
political changes. Referring to Mr..
Wilkinson's retirement, the Tarboro Dis
patch says:
"Mr. Wilkinson has made certificate
to teach in EAsecombe county mean
something, and the consequence has
been, that the public school teachers of
this county, both white and colored, are
the best prepared and most thoroughly
equipped of any teachers in North Caro-
lima. Even though he was strict in his
examination Of applicants, yet he was
popular among the teachers, and it is
from them, that one hears him spoken
of in the most flattering and compliment
tary manner.
I'm the election of Mr.. Davis, we are
glad to know that Mr.. Wilkinson is to
be succeeded Icy so competent an officer"

North Carolina is a strange State in
many ways. She has a unique and pecu-
liar people and peculiar soil. Her people
are unappreciative. They cried down the
Pages, Osbornes, the Dixons, the Win
stons, ETC., till they left the State and
measured themselves with the men of
other States, and now when these same
men come back to North Carolina,
North Carolinians get on their knees to
do them honor.
North Carolina editors have been
praising an author whom they did not
know was poet till he went to Virginia.
and yet this same author wrote and
published his book of poems before he
left this State North Carolinians, COM
paratively speaking, appreciate neither
their best brains nor their resources.
They send their best men out of the
State and leave the bulk of their natural
wealth for Northern people to develop.

since the competition, for first places in
the different phases of cycling, has be-
come so great, his equal, as a trick rider,
has not appeared in the arena, and none
have done such daring feats as he.
He first came into prominence in the
North when he made his famous trip to
Boston, to the factory of the manufacture
ers whose wheel he was riding, and in
recognition of this Col. Albert A. Pope,
in person, presented him with his choice
of any style wheel he should choose for
the factory to build.
Mounted on this wheel he gained fame
in all parts of the country. The wheel
was strong one, and the rider was
fearless, and so when the news flashed
over the wires recording his marvellous
deeds, people who knew the man did not
doubt the truth of the dispatches.
A few years ago he made his name a
by-word in Virginia, by riding down the
steps to the Custom House in Ports
mouth, and then all the nation heard Of
his now famous trip down the go steps
to the National Capitol. Indeed he is
nothing short of the Champion Trick
Cycle Rider, and there are many of his
original feats that Raleigh money says
no other living wheelman can repeat. 1t
is of little concern to any one whether
he has one wheel or two On which to
perform, as the number of startling an
tics that he does on either will entertain
and audience for hours. Two years ago,
during the Atlanta Exposition, this Raj
eigh boy created such sensation at the
Fair Grounds in the Gate City, as will
be long remembered by those who were
attending the exposition. The chute lead
ing into the Lake, which was made on
the style of the famous chute on the
River Dan, had become noted through
out the world for the rapid time made
by the boats, SO swiftly shot into the
water. Crowds were ever watching the
movement of the boats and among many
the descent into the Lake, even in the
boats which could not capsize, was con-
sidered a most dangerous and fool-hardy
act. Never were people more startled
than those few who saw a wheelman
place his bike upon the top landing of
the chute. and as he mounted his wheel
and began the descent, men, women and

more than for his speedy racing.
Wynne has been rider for number
of years, first becoming a trickster on
the cid style upright. He rode an or
binary for several years and since the
safety frame came into use he has
owned about thirty different makes of
wheels. tssSaa
In North Carolina he was the leading
cyclist for a number of years, and even
