EDENTON ACADEMY.
]. C. Kittrell, Principal.

The growth of town and welfara Of
community depend largely upon their
facilities for education, in fact town
without them will never grow to ally
prominence whatever. Edenton should
be be the central point for
education in that section espe-
cially when such excellent educational
facilities are obtainable as can he had
at the Edenton Academy which .nstit!i-
ton dates its early history back to 11p9
and perhaps farther.
The present commodious and well
equipped building with all the latest
school appliances with water works, etc.
was erected in 1894 and since then as
before the school has been well attended.
The course consists of general
course. the languages, etc, and pre-
pares the students for any of the Col
leges or Universities Of the State. Prof.
J. C. Kittrell, the principal is grad
uate of Wake Forest, and his election
to the princiralship was wise one in
deed for he takes a personal interest
in the students second to none other that
the writer has ever seen.

in larger and more metropolitan cities
than Edenton. And the most notable
of these is that of VIM. j. Leary, Jr.,
which was established in 1876 by DR..
VIM. J. Leary, who was succeeded in
1890 by Walter l. Leary and in 1897
by the present proprietor.
The store which is lighted by the new
light system, is located on Broad street,
where everything to make a drug estab-
lishment complete is to be found. The
stock carried is large, and of the very
best consisting of drugs, medicines, tot
let articles, perfumery, a long list OF
sundries and soda fountain, which is
indeed handsome one, and where dur
ing the hot summer days cold drinks are
dispensed, it being headquarters for
summer drinks. Mr. Leary also manu-
features several proprietary remedies
which have attained quite a reputation
for their excellent qualities among which
we mention Electric Linement;' ''Sar-
sapariLa Compound and 'Leary :
Cough Syrup" The prescription de-
nartment is handled with ac-
curacy and no E.nd of bust
ness requires more ability, closer
study, or more thorough preparation than
this. and all these qualifications are
realized by the proprietor. He is ma
tive Of the town and truly a representa-
tive citizen. He is transacting flne
business. which is still increasing and
this is not matter of surprise when we
consider his ability and the exceeding
attractiveness Of the store itself.

less of those artful schemes that follow
in the wake of politics and if public
trusts were handled in the same business
like manner that one does his individual
affairs there would certainly he a revolu-

happy thought that prevailed in Eden
ton when the present mayor was chosen
and now Edenton is governed in a bust
ness like manner and is considered one
Of the best governed towns of the sec
ton.
The Mayor, Mr.. John G. Bond is a
native of the town and was born March
&c. 1852 His education was received
at the schools Of the section and finished
at Wake Forest College.
He is very prominent in the entire soc
ton and conducts the largest hardware
business ut Edenton and also deals ex-
tensively in the fishing industry and is
enjoying a large trade and doing fine
business in both. His administration as
Mayor will no doubt he the same as
his business career and will be one of

ID. w. RAPER AND COMPANY
LUMBER MANUFACTURES

There are few commercial enterprises
affording a greater capacity for wider
range and more extended scope of oper-
atoms than the lumber business. And
prominent among those firms of Eastern
North Carolina who engage in this bust
ness on an extensive scale, may be men
toned the well known firm of ID. w.
Raper and Company, which was estab-
lished in 1891 by ID. w. Raper. The
well equipped plant is located at Eden

modern improved machinery they manu-

of the leading mercantile establishments
of the town, and enjoy large trade
and the full confidence of the people.

more attention is being bestowed on the
cultivation of the artistic and beauti-
ful in the interior decoration of man
sions, public buildings and stores, and
i'm no one particular branch has this
been more manifest than in the wood

caused the establishment of many plants
for the manufacture of these articles,
and among that number is the one men
toned above which was established at
that point in 1896 and which is equip

The territory that lies about the sec
ton is unguestionably the best field
for sportsmen to be found in America,
east of the Rocky mountains or any
where else. The assertion will not be re-
garded too broad by those who are able
to judge from personal knowledge. Game
is not only found in greater variety, II
not in more abundance than elsewhere,
but the country is almost primeval in its
freshness. The wonder is that tourists,
and especially sportsmen, whose steps
are annually turned toward the smooth
ly worn paths of travel and the well
beaten BUSH do not seek out the fresh
fields of adventure which are to be
found on the Norfolk and Southern RAN
road and especially in Currituck county.

having witnessed an increase in patron
age and an augmentation of his general
popularity. In May, 1884, he was elect

he showed further what he was made

over that entire section. He is also
chairman OF the Democratic executive
committee of the county and to the
wise and jHdicious manner in which he

"REFILLED AMMUNITION"

a dispatch from Manila states: THE
ignorance of the natives is shown by
the fact that they have collected emp
ty Springfield shells and are refilling
them"
This statement will provoke a very
broad grin in the local guards and also
among the regular troops of Uncle
Sam. Springfield shells are easily re-
filled. If the shell is cleaned, the bull
let properly made and the reloading
carefully done. the Filipinos will do
as deadly work with them as they
might with the factory ammunition.
Factory bullets range a little high and
are more liable to go wrong; refilled
shells obtain a slightly lower range, but
are dangerously steady and accurate.
To military men the ignorance will
rather appear to have been with the
newspaper man who wrote the dis
patch.

VIEWS Of THE ENCYCUCAL
FRENCH AND ENGLISH CATHOLIC
EXPRESSIONS.
The Tendency of American Catholics
Catholic Church.

PARIS, February 2S.--A New York
Journal correspondent cables:
The pope's letter on Americanism
causes wide discussion among the
thoughtful French Catholics. Cardi
nal Richard said to me today: "Judg
ing from the summary given in the
press it seems to be a paternal admo-
milton by the holy father to the people
of the United States in a general the
sis on the church. Application of these
truths to individual cases is quite an
other thing. The pope never attacks in
divduals. The letter cannot cause sch
ism in the American church Wide
spread schism is possible only where
people are illiterate and go in droves.
General propositions do not imply re-
proof to individuals, nor is there any
thing in the letter inconsistent with
the exemplary piety of Father Hecker,
whose biography occasions so much
discussion"
ACTIVITY OF AMERICANS.
Archbishop Touchet of Orleans who
invited Archbishop Ireland to preach a
panegyric on Joan dare, said: THE
tendencies of American Catholics are
not against the doctrines of the Catho-
lie church. The pope's letter says the
external authority of the church must
not be denied. but no Catholic in Anne
RIGA or elsewhere denies it. The pope
says that VOWS of poverty, chastity
and obedience belong to the more per-
feet spiritual life, but the founder of
the Paulists in New York took these
VOWS for greater perfection. Ameri-
can Catholics are very active, and
Archbishop Ireland, who is a typical
man of action has said that life is aC-
ton, hence clustered virtues while
their merits are recognized, are less
congenial to the American mind than
are militant virtues"
WHAT PROFESSOR KLEIN SAYS.
Professor Klein, whose translation of
the Life of Father Hecker seems to
have caused the trouble, said to me:
THE tactics of our enemies is to at
tribute to us false teachings. We all
know the external authority of the
church must be respected, that individ-
ual inspiration is not at variance with
the church. Father Hecker lays great
stress upon the superiority of the Sax
on race and their respect for the in
dividuals. The Jesuits don't like this.
The leading French clergy favor the
virile catholicity of the United States"
CARDINAL VAUGHAN TALKS.
LONDON February 2S.-The New
York Journal correspondent cables
Cardinal Vaughan granted an inter
view to the Journal correspondent TO-
day. After expressing himself thor
oughly in sympathy with the terms
and spirit of the popes letter to Car
dinal Gibbons he said:
Il have the utmost certainty that
the American Catholics will accept the
encyclical. / cannot conceive why any
one should be anxious or doubtful as
to the attitude of Catholics in the Unit
ed States towards the holy fathers en-
cyclcal. The American Catholics are
heart and soul with the pope. They
are and always have been faithful chill
dren of the church.
