A SCHOOL OF "a CHILDREN WITH
ONLY ONE TEACHER.

The public school in North
Morganton-and there are no
doubt others in the county
like it has entirely too many
scholars for only one teacher.
The attendance TOW numbers
81 and IS daily increasing.
with barely one persona
lady-to govern and impart
knowledge to the children.
This lady, Of course, does all
she can. but it IS impossible
for the children to get the
attention they should have.
under the present state OF
affairs. 1t is understood that
they reClte only one lesson a
dav. 1t takes the whole Of
the six hours for the teacher
to get around the school.
Just think of a child being
compelled to sit IN a school
room-and, by the way, an
uncomfortable one at that
for six long hours and recit-
ing only one lesson. It looks
like there IS poor management
somewhere. Why not divide
the district. making two
schools, or place two or more
teachers in the present one,
even if YOU are thereby com
PEELED to shorten the term.
The results would be much
better than from the way the
school is now being run.
Something needs to be done,
and we believe with the proper
effort can be done, to improve
our public schools. And WE
should not lose sight of the
comfort Of the little children
As we 90 along.

A HIGH SOCIETY LEG SHOW.
The Latest Amusement at Asbury
Park is a "Trilby Party"

Asbury Park, n. j., Special, 10Th, to
Philadelphia Record.
After overcoming the object
ions Of doubling elders, 16
lovely society young women
exhibited their feet for prizes
at a ''Trilby party" and now,
when the jaded amusement
seekers Of other seashore e
sorts desire a new and daring
diversion, they know where to
look for it.
The "Trilby party' was given
last evening at the grand Ave
nue.. The laughing young
ladies were placed on tables
behind a curtain, with their
shapely tootsies dangling be
meath. But, alas. for the spec
tators, the pretty feet were
carefully hidden beneath black
silk hosiery and their pink
loneliness was lacking.
The judges were Henry Nj. A.
Stiles, Of Philadelphia; Charles
Il. Schantz. of Asbury Park,
and Mr.. II. B. Barnard, Of the
Princeton football team. The
best formed and most symmet-
rlcal foot, IN the opinion Of the
judges, belonged to Miss Mary
Y. Ridgeway. Of Washington,
sister Of &c Ridgeway, secre-
tary Of the Hawaiian commits
sion. The chief characteristic
Of Miss kidgeway's foot was
the high arch Of the instep.
Mrs. B. w. Andrews, Of Cam
den, exhibited the next pretti-
est foot, and the third prize, a
sweet little tootsie, remarkable
for its shapeliness, was won by
Mrs. Dilts, Of Pennington, n.
j.. Among the other contest
ants was Miss Mahan, of Phil
adelphia: Mrs. Eccles, Miss
Stella Eccles and Miss Jose
phlne West, OF Trenton.

ONRACTSNERENOGOOD THE PEARL HARBR RACES
SAILORS OF BARK EMPIRE MAY
LEAVE SHIP.
Important Decision of Judge Estee This
Morning-Men Given Wages for the
Time Actually Put In.

Judge Estee this morning ruled final
ly and iTrevocably that the sailors of
the bark Empire, now in this port. were
not under proper contracts and could
leave the ship any time they wanted
to; that they were entitled to their
wages from the time they shipped at
Newcastle to the time they left the YES
sci at Honolulu.
The decision has caused a whir and
rustling of feathers among shipping
men. Heretofore the tar has gotten the
heavy end of il in Honolulu. At least
that is general report, and seems to be
backed by historical facts of the past
twenty years. This time, in the United
states district court, there is decision
all on the side of the sailor man.
When the case opened this morning
Mr.. McClanahan, for the captain of the
ship, asked the court for information.
He wanted to know if the remark of
the court of yesterday that the con-
tract presented by the master of the
vessel was not valid, was final and If il
was a ruling of the court.
Last night, again" replied Judge
Estee. Il went into this matter very
thoroughly and am convinced that the
contract is not binding. This contract
was made out in San Francisco for a
voyage from that port to Newcastle
and back to any American port. This
10 Niit illSb <AlllNiiSoil pun lSttNiSu anu
/ rule that the contract would have eX-
pired here. Again it appears from the
evidence that this crew was shipped at
Newcastle and that the members of 1t
did not properly sign the contract. 1t
is held that the crew has been at liberty
to leave the vessel at any time from the
date of her arrival in this port"
At this point it was stated that the
only point left to be argued was the
amount of wages due to each man. The
captain was called to the stand and tes-
titled as to how many days the men had
worked. They were shipped May 20 last,
and had worked to various days in Au'
gust. They were awarded wages &C
/ cordingly.
