al 9TH sR INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE
A Cup to lie Offered For Washington Birthday
Debate.

The annual intercollegiate debate in
this city on each recurring Thangs-
giving day has aroused widespread in
terest.
This debate has always been be-
tween Wake Forest and Trinity Col
leges, and two years ago, in order to
increase the interest of the students
of the colleges participating in it, the
Chamber of Commerce gave $50 prize
cup to be contested for.
At the meeting of the chamber last
night a letter from Elon College was
read, asking whether, in case ElOn
could arrange a debate with the Uni
versity of North Carolina, for February
22nd, 1901, a cup would be given to
the winner.
OF course as only one sup is given, and
that will be won at the Thanksgiving
debate by either Wake Forest or Trim
ity, no cup can be given in the Elon-
University debate unless two cups are
offered.
And this is Just what the chamber
proposes shall be done. So far
these debates have been well conduct
ed and of intense interest. They have
brought all the students from the two
contesting colleges and many OF their
friends from all parts of the State.
Raleigh wants more such contests,
and to that end another cup will be Of
fered if these two other colleges can
arrange for an annual debate on Feb
ruary 22nd. To this end committee
was last night appointed to solicit
from merchants, hotel men and others
contributions to pay for another to be
given by the city of Raleigh to the
winner in the February intercollegiate
debate.
This committee is composed OF
Messrs. Edgar A. Womble, Chas. {.
Mcdonald and Frank 7. Ward. They
should have no trouble in raising the
amount, necessary.

LESS BOOK LEARNING.
Miss Reel. Superint de DIT IHdian Schools,
Pleads for More Industrial Training
for the Red Mems children.

Washington, Sept. 25.-In her an
nual report to the Indian bureau,
Miss Estelle Reel, general superin-
tendent of Indian schools, advocates
more Industrial training for the In
dian. Miss Reel believes in giving the
Indian child good thorough train
ing in the fundamental English
branches, but says that the theory of
examining the pupil with mere book
knowledge for generations to come
will be failure. A course in farming
and such useful knowledge as will en-
able him to shoe his own horse, mend
his own wagon, build his house and
do the general repair work about a
farm is recommended for the boys,
as well as the teaching of homemade
ing duties for the girls. The property
ownership plan has prominent place
in Miss Reels system of education.
A strong plea is made for compulsory
education and the cultivation of bet
ter crops and more acres of land is
urged.

What a aIoguI Can Do.

That was remarkable demonstration of
what Mogul can do, that occurred on the
New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No. 94S, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
in all. The total weight of the train was
], 49,, 900 pounds, or GIG tons, and the length
of the train, including the engine, was l,2l2
feet, or nearly quarter of mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, l43 miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes.
There is no railroad in the world which
has better roadbed, more skillful eng-
neers, or better equipment, backed by loyal
men always alert for the safety of their pas
sengers, than the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad. What road can
match its corps of men, from President Cal
laway down the long line of employees, to
the humble and faithful trackmen who
watch their sections of rail through the
long hours of the night and day, in order to
safeguard the lives OF the travellers on trains
whirling by their humble shanties, many of
which nestle closely to the rails under their
guardian hip.-Editorial from the Albany

Washington, Sept. 25.-The surgeon
generals Office of the war department
has no information regarding the
epidemic of yellow fever in Havana,
although it is known to exist there

from Havana indicate that the out
break is serious. The fever exists in
the best parts of the city and among
Americans who have gone there. 1t is
said at the war department that no
fears are entertained of serious out
break among the troops of the United
States as they are outside of the city
and not in infected districts. The
outbreak is not unexpected, as fever
usually develops about this time of the
year and is even worse during the
months of October and November
than in the spring.
