10 IuE COUNTY SUPERVISOR
There seems to be some misunder-
Standing among some of the Supervis-
ors i'm regard 10 the Census, but there
should not be for | Informed each Su-
perysor last year that the Census that
was taken in November, or December,
1872, would be accepted at this office
instead of the May Census 1898. 1t
was necessary TO have the Census last
November or December, in order for
the appointment to be made per capita
t. the townships, as the present law
requires. There would necessarily be
very little change "a to population
from December, 1897, to May, 1898,
Hence will accept this Census in
your annual report, to be made to me
the first July of this year.
wish to urge you To make out your
annual report promptly the first OF July
aud forward to this office, so that am.
pie time may be had TO arrange the
statistics for the press, that the report
may be- published IN due time.
II is a shame, but nevertheless true
that there are always some counties
in the State which never get in thei
reports, and the Superlntendents, TO
years, have to go back to former year
and I'll in with old statistics. DO no
allow this to occur this year. Sue
negligence on the part of any super
visor is sufficient cause for his remova
from office. Business is business. lie
Us have no negligence this year fror
any source in the State. These word
are not intended for those who ar
prompt in their official duties, but
those who are negligent and caIeles
What have said is meant in kline
ness and for the best interest of tn
great work.
Let US work together and have
fun and complete report of the school

THE D. D. & B. INSTITUTE

Closed After a Successful Session The SUI
perintendent's Able Management
sketch of his Work
The Institute for the White Blind
and COlOred ID. ID. & Il. in Raleigh
closed most successful year. The
success of these institutions is largely
due to Mr.. John +. Ray the very eff
cient superintendent. Mr.. Ray has
vanced teacher for the deaf and blind.
The Messenger, published at Talla-
dega, Ala, in its May issue has a large
cut of Mr.. Ray with brief sketch of
that gentleman. We clip the follow
ing from the article:
"a genial spirit, a fluent speaker, a
ready writer and devOut cOnsecra-
ton to the service of the Master,
marked him as a man whose career
might be watched with anticipation
of the highest results. Mr.. Ray
left North Carolina in September,
1887, to accept a position of teach
er of an advanced class in the
CloradO School for the Deaf
and Blind. On December Is, following,
he was promoted to the position of Su-
perintendent in which capacity he re-
hected great credit upon himself.
When he assumed these OnerOus duties,
there were only about 55 pupils in at
tendance. The value of the only build
ing was $4,000. While there he in
creased the attendance to 135 and ex-
pended $4,000 in building and equip
ping seven new buildings.
| With feeling of satisfaction such
as can come only from duty, carefully
and prayerfully discharged, he resign
co his position there In August, 1894,
to take charge of the Kentucky School
for the Deaf, at Danville. His efforts
were crowned with great success, al
though he was seriously handicapped
by the depressed financial condition Of
the commonwealth.
The attitude of his cO-laborers to-
ward him cannot be expressed more
truly and tersely than in the fOllOwin
. ouotation from the present Superin.

A Generous Gift.

Tuesday morning the hearts of the
friends of Trinity College were glad
dened by the news that Mr.. Washing
ton Duke had given another $4,000
to the trustees of Trinity to be used
as might be deemed best. There is no
string and no condition attached to the
gift. The money is Immediately avail
able for any purpose, though 1t will
probably be added to the endowment
fund, thus increasing the permanent

This fastest exhibition of generously

Dr. Thompson's Letter.

The following letter has been sent
to the various county chairmen OF the
Peoples Party by state Chairman
Thompson:
The action of the recent Democratic
State Convention in refusing an offer
of co. operation with the Peoples Par
" in order to elect nine silver Con-
gressmen, coupled with their failure
to make to us a counter proposition
looking to the same end, makes their
position utterly indefensible before |
the rank and file of the people who
earnestly desire reform in national
legislation.
ave should spare neither time nor
effort to impress upon the people the
fact that the Democratic party, not
outstanding its platform professions,
has substantially, by its action, de-
clared against financial reform, against
Bryan and silver, and has betrayed, at
the dictation of the goldbugs and mo-
nOpolies, the true Democrats inside
The Democratic party; the folly OF
whose further attempts to light it out
inside the party" should be apparent
to all. The Peoples Party is evidently
their only refuge.
will it not have the effect OF en-
phasizing our position, and OF bring
ing honest men everywhere to discuss
the situation as it exists and TO real
ize that the Peoples Party has done al
that il could, and that it will continue
to do all that il can, in the line of TIT
financial reform, if We proceed at tn
ear lest possible date to hold our Con
gressional Conventions, and decid
upon whom we will support for Con
gress-men sincerely in harmony wit
our principles and aggressive in thei
advocacy; whose defeat, il it comes
shall be evidently chargeable to tn
design of the Democratic party unde
its corporate, goldbug control?
"The resolutions and proposition
offered by us to the Democratic Stat
Convention represent the unanimou
sentiment and direction of the Popr
list State Convention. Ii your peOp
are not fully advised as to the natuI
of this proposition, and the reply mac
thereto, your Central COMMITTEE wOu
be glad to have suggestions as to no
the matter can be clearly set befO
them.
"As to our conventions for Judici,
Legislature and county nomination
it would seem that these may reaso
ably be delayed until the people a

zone thing, it seems to me, shot
he clearly determined, to-wit: tt
Populists should not accept nomiI
tions at the hands of the DemOcra
party; il we are not good enough to
co-operated with as a party, upon pr
ciple, it would seem that no POpul
who regards his party or respects hl
self, can afford to lend hand to

down our organization.
"This letter is not an expression

your action, but is written as q
gestion and an inquiry, for the gOOt
