Improvement.

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Wilson, N. c., November %.
All Of Wilson's representatives at the
Normal and Industrial school at
Greensboro have returned home. All
tell of the many sad happenings at
Greensboro during the past few weeks.
All speak in high terms of the manage
ment of the Normal. None attributes
the serious condition of affairs in the
school to any neglect on the part of
any n in authority.
The Chautauqua Book Club met last
night with Miss Minnie Foote, at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. James T. Wig
gins. The exercises were well attend
ed and very instructive. Miss Foote
read an interesting sketch of the life
Of Ford, giving a list of his principal
productions with the point of strength
in each. Miss Foote is an interesting
reader n her sketch was well taken.
President Parker gave an interesting
resume of the current number of the
Chautauqua magazine. This feature of
the clubs exercises is becoming more
popular.
After the literary part Of the eve
ming had been enjoyed Mrs. Virgins
invited the club in to an appetizing
lunch.
Mr.. j. r. Brooks, of the old firm of
roo & Cooper, furniture dealers,
has brought suit for libel against The
Raleigh Post. During the early sum-
mer the stock of Brooks G. Cooper was
destroyed by fire. State Insurance
Commissioner Young came to Wilson
to investigate the cause of the fire.
After his return to Raleigh The Post
published an account of the ~investiga-
ton and it is charged made a positive
statement that Messrs. Brooks &
Cooper set their stock on fire.
AT last Wilson has caught the road
improvement fever. The county con-
victs have been put to work under the
supervision of Mr.. George Massey, an
experienced road builder. The nov
ment is being energetically pushed by
Mr.. George D. Green, chairman Of the
board of county commissioners The
time is rapidly approaching when ev-
cry road leading into Wilson will be
improved several miles into the coun-
try.

Schley Not to Visit South African Ports

Scnley NOC TO N1S1C South African POrCS
Washington, November 23.-The or
ders to Rear Admiral Schley, directing
him to proceed to the South Atlantic
station, as issued by Secretary Long,
direct him to await further orders be-
fore any vessel Of his command visits
any African port. 1t is said at the nav
department that the disinclination Of
h department to order Admiral
Schley to South Africa has no connec-
tiCn with the personality of tina Off
Ger. Whoever commanded the South
Atlantic squadron at this juncture
would receive, it is said, the same in
structions, for it is regarded as a mat
ter of national policy to refrain from
sending warships to either the Cape or
to Delagoa bay or Durham.
