GREAT EXCITEMENT,
SPANS Attempt to Capture the Sea-
board Air Line.

The Seaboard Air Line is greatly e1-
to capture Col. Thomas Johnathan An
derson, who beguiles people into the
belief that the cheapest, quickest, short
est, safest and best route to any place on
land or water is the S. A. l..
1t all happened this way: When the
Government called for bids for trans
porting troops, Col Tom had himself
telephoned to Washington and he got in
his lick. The fact that he captured
more United States soldiers than any
body else, leaked out aud Spain heard it
She sent an army and her whole navy
over here to get him, for the man that
can capture the biggest part of the
United States army is the man above all
| Others that Spain wants just now.
Capt. Kenneth Finch telegraphed him
| self to Norfolk and formed q hollow
square around the Colonel and saved
him. When the Spanish emmisaries and
troops got a glimpse OF the Colonel and
the Captain they retreated monument
ly. The Captain was SO fOrmidably
warlike that they trembled and the
Colonel was SO pretty they didn't dare to
let him come closer than Norfolk to the
Queen Regent.
In his gratitude to Captain Finch
Col. Anderson dropped into poetry and

A BLUNDER THAT SHOULD BE
CORRECTED,

The A,p'y and Macy Journal is just
in its criticism of the Secretary OF
the Navy for naming the great liners
Paris and New York after Yale and
Harvard universities. 1t was a
meaningless name for war ships and
sets precedent that. il followed,
will convert the navy into an advcrtis-
ing agency for the colleges and uni
versities. How would it sound for
Commodore Dewey to command an
iron clad called the "Podunk Acad-
emy," or the "Rhamkatte Business
College?" Who will say that there
is nothing in the name of cruiser
or warship?

Numbered and the names should be

ed not to honor the other cities and

MRS. COLIN PARHAM.
Vance County Teachers Association.

This Association held it's second
meeting on May 18th, in the Court
House. The meeting was opened
with Scripture reading and prayer
by DR.. McCracken. The minutes of
the last meeting were read and ap-
proved.
The discussion of the special sub
ject for the occasion, GLOW to secure
larger attendance in the schools"
were then announced. This discus
sion was participated in by Mr.. Mat
les, DR.. McCracken and others.
Mr.. Mates explained briefly the
Public School System of the State
and gave some interesting informa-
ton on the same. He also showed
that from the reports sent in by the
Public School Teachers, not more
than fifty (5O per cent. of the chill
dren enrolled attended school reg
ularly. The remedy for this non-at-
tendance was then freely discussed
by all present.
DR.. McCracken, Miss Marshall, and
Miss Sheal gave an interesting &C
count of the way the Public Schools
of the North are conducted.
''SchOol Government" and The
best method of teaching reading"
are the subjects for discussion at the
next meeting.
We hope to have large attendance
and greater interest manifested than
ever before. Several papers on the
different subjects will be read and all
are invited to attend.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again June 4th, at eleven a. M. in
the Court House.
