THE BLUE BACK SPELLER.
Its Adoption Leads to Reflections
Upon Educational Tendencies.
fDanYillc Bal

1t seems that the city OF Charlotte
has adopted the old blue backed
spelling hook-the speller Of our
daddies. But that is no good any
more in these days of program and
other short cuts to show that we are
the pure stuff.
1t is melancholy fact that with
public shoots and colleges these days
there are but precious few all around
men being turned out. The old
statesmen; the old journalists; the
old professors; the old doctors-the
old chaps who got there and stayed
there-you don't see any of EN- any
more.
You will see the dapper dude 20
off to college and come home with a
lawn tennis suit: golf cap; a bath
ing suit; a kodak, and in fact more
new tangled stuff than his old dad
ever dreamed OF. He will nine times
out Of ten have formed a romantic
fashion for rum and come home with
appendicitis and the cigarette habit.

and blow smoke down his lungs and
wear toothpicked shoes and show his
sheep skin which the school gave him
and imagine that he is one fell-of-a-

And the old blue backed spelling
book will not save him. He is going
on new gait-a nineteenth century,
latest model cut to perdition and let

cigarettes during the last twenty

dence that Is necessary to convict.

Items from CarrOIltOn Academy.

After an interval of three weeks. I again address few lines to the read. CTS of FIFE TRIBUNE. Since the publ- cation of our last article many modii- cations have been made in our daily work. Because of the very small at. tendance at the begining of the term, and because also of the very inclem- ent weather it was thought best. al things considered, for the entire school to occupy the rooms down stairs. Last week division was made in the school the pupils in the higher grammar and all the commercial students occu- pying tne main room in which last year the county normal was conducted.
 A literary society has been organized in connection with the school, and the following question was discussed with much interest and benefit to all: Is public life to be preferred to pri- vate life ?''
 On Friday afternoon at the close of the tenth week, the Rev. Mr. Hacker delivered to the school an interesting and valuable address upon education- al topics. Quite number of citizens were present on the occasion and the school and visitors were frank in ex- pressions of expectations fer the pretty and encouraging sentiments conveyed by the speaker.
 The class in book keeping has now grown until it consists of seventeen members. Textbooks, blanks etc. have been ordered from the Valparaiso, Ind, Business Institute, and the plans followed here agree in many par ticulars to the nethods employed in that famous institution of learning. An actual business department will soon be added to our course in which each pupil will be required to buy and sell, and in general to perform and record all business transactions just as they would really occur in actual business.
 Classes in Elocution, Orthoepy, Ped- agogy and Physical Geography have been organized to accommodate those who desire such work.
 Sixteen new pupils have been enroll ed during the past three weeks.
 The gem for the week just closed was:
 Little minds are tanned and subdued by misfortune, but great minds rise above them"

Obituary.

The Death Angel has again en- tered the homo of Brother and Sister H. Owenbey, and on last Tuesday claimed their dal ling daughter, Myrtle, Her summons was very unexpected. being sick only a few hours, but God in bis infinite wisdom, has called her home. May the bereaved father, mother, brother and sisters meet her in brighter world where sorrows never come.
 She was abont fourteen years old and died from congestion of the brain and was on the 15tb of March laid to rest in the New Home cemetery.
 l pray for you, my sister dear,
 That God will comfort give, That He your comedy way may cheer,
 While here on earth you live. That he may whisper oft 10 you
 Of the sweet ones that's gone, That you by faith may ever view
 Them in their heavenly home. Now, when the spring time cometh
 And brings fourth flowers so fair Beneath yon leaty forest
 My favorite niece lies there. From this sad world she was taken
 Just in the bloom of youth. To heavens S world she was carried
 By the dark angel of death. It was in the month of March,
 1t was solemn day
 When death come and claimed her,
 And we laid her body away. She passed from this world of sorrow Into world of heavenly bliss, And left us so sad and lonely.
 For her, We will ever miss. And now she is sweetly sleeping,
 Sleeping where we all must rest, With pulseleEs hands enfolding
 Her eyer peaceful breast Now, brother. sister and all,
 This should a warning be. Ere another sun shall rise,
 The Father may call for thee. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord
 Where love has bound the heart. 1Tis hard to speak the parting words: We must forever part.

Several of Them PeriShed Last
Evening.
FIRE IN A LIVERY STABLE
Owned by Mr.. Hoagland Was Dis
covered too Late to Save
the Poor Beasts.

Shortly after 9 o'clock last night the
horse stables of Frank L. Hoagland. sit
uated at the corner of Sixth and Birch
streets, We're discovered to be on fire, and
within a few minutes seven horses We're
roasted alive. The building was a wooden
structure, and like all stables, filled with
material which make good food for a
fire. How the fire originated is unknown.
The stable was unlocked, as always has
been the custom. The building was
burning rapidly when the fire was dis
covered. 1t appears that although the
stables We're situated in a thickly settled
district, most of the residents had retired
and the fire was discovered by Eddie
Shovlin, who resided opposite the city
hall, and who was returning from a visit
in that part of town when he was at
tracted by the flames. He sent in an
alarm and fastened to the scene. About
that time other people saw the flames
and rushed to the stables, all hands maxi
ing an effort to liberate the horses, but
the flames had surrounded the animals
to such an extent that only one was
gotten out in safety, the second one be-
ing SO badly burned that it was shot by
an officer to end its misery. The sight
was a sickening one to see the poor ami
mails battling for life through the seeth-
ing flames. Besides the horses all the
harnesses and other trlnkets We're also
burned, making a total loss of about
81 SEQ to Mr.. Hoagland, with no insur-
ance. Mr.. Hoagland conducts a scaven-
ger business.
