reason TO believe that the Democratic ma

from Mr. Cleveland at an opportune time
some expression that will help Mr.. Bryan
in New York. With this object in view
it is said that they have been bringing
powerful pressure to bear upon the ex-
President for the past two weeks and
that they have received reports which
have strengthened their hope Mr.. Cleve-
land. il is stated. will remain at Buzzard's $
Bay until the middle OF October, and when
he returns to his home at Princeton il is
expected that he VIII find occasion to
speak against Mr.. Mckinley and at least
inferentia1ly 10 advocate the election of
Mr.. Bryan. 1t is conceded that such an
expression would bring votes to Mr.. Bryan
in New York and New Jersey, and as the
contests in these States promise to he
close the value of Mr. CieveIand's SER

may be rendered, will be duly appreciated

NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

the Club Moyement.-One week from
Wednesday the National Association of
Democratic Clubs will hold their national
convention at Indianapolis The prospects
favor the largest attendance in the histo /,

that OF any similar organization in either
party. and that it viii be especially rep

the national headquarters of the associav
tion in New York the most active and in

rect supervision of President William R.
Hearst. who has employed his newspapers
IN that city, Chicago, and San Francisco
to boom operations OF broad. scale The
details of the work are being carefully
looked after by Mr., Max F. Ihmsen, whom
dr. Hearst took from the head OF his news
bureau in Washington and gave unlimited
authority 10 draw upon the resources of his
newspapers for Information and publicity
During the past two weeks Mr. Ihmsen has
been receiving on an average 200 appf-
cations day from new clubs in all parts
OF the country for membership in the Ma
tlohal ASSOCIATION, and the statistics he has
thus been enabled to gather Indicate that
the associations membership now mounts
high into the tens OF thousands 1t is
expected that every club of Importance

one to ten representatives duly accred-
tied. AT st. Paul In August there were
only Few hundred delegates in attend

IN NEED,0F TEACHERS
Not Enough For the Public
Schools of Wake.
Superintendent Clements Wishes to Hear From
Good Teachers Desiring to Teach
Public Schools.

The teachers profession is not over
crowded in Wake county.
That is what superintendent Glenn
ents says. He told q News and OBJ
server reporter yesterday that there
were not enough teachers in the
county to teach the schools, and that
he would be glad to hear from good
teachers. He was just back from at
tending the Educational and Indus
trial meeting at Jacksonville.
w had a most excellent time" he
said, and North Carolina was well rep
resented and took a CONSPICUOUS part
III all the proceedings; and from the
reports | think We are about as well
CIT educatlOnally and otherwise as
any OF the O11er southern States"
And you may say" he added. as
he climbed aboard the train. that |
would be glad to hear from anv good
teachers who desires a position. We
have several schools, some paving as
much as $4,000, for which we cannot
get a teacher. l would be glad to
hear from any who desires to teach
1t is very likely that this is the
only county in the State in which
such conditions exist. and it is prob
able that Mr.. Clements will be deluo-
ed with applications from teachers in
other counties.
Mr. Clements was referring. Of
course. to the public schools outside of
hi city. Last week six assistant
teachers We're added to the force in
the city schools.
The educational affairs Of this conn
ty are IN a splendid condition. The
last report Of the county superinten-
dent shows that abouo $4,000 of last
years school fund remained unex-
pended at the close Of the school wear
and will be applied to this Years fund.
IL must be remembered also. that
TINS IS the case after an average term
OF tour months had been taught in
the hoo \ number of school
houses We're built last year.
The school census shows that tbere
are about 10000 children of school aoa
IN thls county. and the per cent. of IL
Hterates among the whites is almost
nothing, being less than one-fourth Of
one per cent. Wake county has the
largest roll of children Of school ara
CT any county in the State. and very
probably the smallest per cent NJ
white illiterates.

RELICS.
A State Museum to be Established For Theil
Preservation

Sometime ago the l.. OBJ. Branch camp
Of Confederate veterans, in this city,
started a movement looking to the col
lection and preservation of Confederate
pictures, flags and other relics of the
var. To this end they secured from the
State Board of Agriculture permission to
use for the purpose a room in the new
museum annex.
The idea was taken up and adopted by
the State Association of Confederate Vet
Grams and the room thus dedicated will
be used for relics and other historical
contributions from all Confederates of
the State. To complete and carry out
this plan the following committee has
been announced: Thomas S. Kenan, chair
man; Walter Clark, R. H. Battle, A. B.
Stronach and G. B. benson.
It is desired to preserve not only the
relics of the Civil War, but Of all the
wars in which North Carolina has en-
gagged. Colonial relics are also wanted.
This room will not be used for the
meeting hall of the camp, but simply
for the exhibition of these relics. The
museum already has on hand enough
specimens for the nucleus of such an ex-
hibit, and the camp and each of the
ladies' associations, nave many more.
Also, there are many relics scattered
be glad to donate or lend them to any
organization that has any suitable way
to preserve and exhibit them.
