ASSEMBLY OF PRESBYTERIANS
Large Number of ClerSymen and
Others Gathering for the
Annual Meeting.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 17.-At II o'clock
tomorrow morning the 111th annual as
sembly of the Presbyterian church in the
United States will begin its session in West
minister church, in this city About $50
commissioners will be in attendance from
the twenty-five synods and the assembly
will bring to the city some fifty foreign
missionaries, besides many persons inter-
ested in the eight auxiliary boards and
other church organizations, including the
seven women's foreign mission boards The
opening sermon will be preached by the re-
tiring moderator, Rev. Wallace Radcliffe,
d. d, Of Washington, D. C. In the after
noon the assembly will be organized and
new moderator elected
AT least seven candidates for the modera-
torship have been announced, but there is
prospect that the contest will narrow down
to one between the "heresy hunters" and
those who are disposed to overlook hetero-
doX tendencies. Rev. DR.. William McKib-
ben OF Walnut Hills church, Cincinnati, is
supposed to be the candidate of the con-
seryatives, the other candidates being Rev.
DR.. r. F. Coyle, First church, Oakland
CAL. Rev. DR.. X. F. Sample, Westminster
church, New York: Rev. Matthias Haines
First church, Indianapolis; Rev. Maltbie d.
Babcook, Brown Memorial church, Balti-
more; Rev. Charles A. Dickey, eX-president
Presbyterian hospital, Philadelphia; Dr.
Arthur j. Brown, New York secretary of
the Board of Foreign Missions.
The assembly has a great mass of business
to face. Among the more conspicuous subjects
are the so called heresy case of DR.. Arthur c.
McGlffert of Union Theological seminary
which may be settled by the letter DR.. Nc
Giffert is said to have addressed to the as
sembly; the matter of restricting the mod
orators powers; the union of the northern
and southern wings of the church and the
standing of ministers without pastorates.
The work of the eight boards, three spe-
cal committees and numerous routine mat
ters will come before the assembly, there
being some thirty separate items on the
docket. To dispose of this business three
sessions will be held daily for ten days at
least, the evening session being omitted
until later on.
The Board of Foreign Missions began its
fourth annual conference yesterday and is
in session today.

lice, and that was at Cheyenne, where he
had been kept in jail for three days. The
last stage of the journey into Council Bluffs

a meal at the city jail and allowed to take
a good wash the lad was permitted TO pro-

died when he was a mere boy and the rea-
son he left home was because he and his
father failed to get along together.

DR.. kINGSBURY AND NORTH CARO-
LIMA HISTORY:

AS we have said before. DR.. Kings
bury. the learned and able editor of
the Wilmington Messenger. deserves
far more thanks than he will ever
get for his unremitting efforts. ex-
tending through many years, to
defend North Carolina's military
history from defamers and ignorant
writer's. The Tarboro Southerner has
recently repeated the suggestion.
often made, that DR.. Kingsbury should
write history Of North Carolina :
part in the great war. To this DR..
Kingsbury replies:
The Tarboro Southe.7.er kindly refers
to this writer as Il proper man to
write history of North Carolina in the
great war Nearly or quite quarter of
a century ago he was compelled to de-
cline kind solicitation TO the same end
and it would be impossible now. 1t
would involve immense labor ii we'll
and faithfully executed. 1t is pleasant
to believe that there are many North
Carolinians, young and better equipped
for the important work than this writer
can lay any claim to possessing, who
are equally as patriotic and devoted to
the fame of the brave men who fought
and suffered, and to the interests of the
dear old State. We could name men who
are competent for the task. Thanks to
the editor OF the Southe,ner for his very
cordial and kind Endorsement. \
younger man must essay the important
work and tell a story that should for
ever perpetuate the noble deeds of the
1876, 900, and make glad the hearts of
unborn generations" -Fayettville Oh

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The following editorial from the
Smithficld Herald on the subject of
public schools requirements OF
teachers. duties Of parents. etc
applies with equal force to Vance
county as it does to Johnston. There
fore we adopt it in full as entirely
vOicin9 our sentiments:
In most sections Of Johnston
county the people are largely de-
pendent upon the public schools for
the education of their children. The
school terms are short and it behooves
every man to send his children to
school every day that he possibly
can.
The summer sessions of the public
schools will soon begin. The sessions
will be necessarily limited. yet much
good may be accomplished if the
right efforts are put forth.
To have good public schools two
things at least, are necessary. First.
good teachers must be employed,
teachers who are thoroughly in
terested in education, teachers who
are willing to work. teachers who
will do all in their power to main
tain a high average attendance, in a
word, teachers whose hearts are in
their work. When teachers of this
class are employed one great step
towards making our schools better
has been taken.
Second. To have good schools the
teacher must have the hearty CO.
operation of the parent. The teac her
cannot achieve the highest form Of
success without this cooperation.
The parent should try to send his
children to school every day, should
provide them with the necessary
books and svmpathize with, and en-
courage, the teacher in his work.
When the teacher feels that he has
the corporation of the parent he can
90 forward with lighter heart and
with a determination to do better
work day by day.
When the relationship existing be-
tween the teacher and parent is more
closely united, then we will have
better schools.

ASHEVILLE GETS THE BAND.
Famous First North Carolina to
Locate There.

The First North Carolina Regiment
Band will locate in Asheville that
city having outstripped her numerous
rivals in offering inducements. Capt.
Alexander, who was here this morn
ing, said that Asheville's offer was
accepted and the deal closed yester
day. In Asheville the band will get
greater number of local engage
ments than in any other city in the
State perhaps, but the management
had desire to locate in Greensboro
on account of the better railroad adj
vantages and the easy accessibility of
almost any town in which the band
is likely to make an engagement. But
Asheville offered the greater induce
ments and is to be congratulated. =
