The suggestion OF changing the name
of the Philippine islands to the McKin
ley islands is the latest. Spain tried
a hundred years to change the name of
Cuba, but could not do it. The change
would not help toward pacification of
the islands.

dock of wild turkeys. He no sooner
saw them than he heard another noise
Ia the bushes at his right. and. looking
round. he saw big bear gazing at him.
Fearing that he was about TO he de-
voured, he shot at the deer. when the
gun busted.
"The bullet killed the deer. the lock
fell down the rattler's throat and chok-
ed him to death. the barrels shot up In

MY Dear Sir: Governor Aycock has

ment, and l am corresponding with the

! whether or not the citizens of Wilmington
would undertake to feed those not able to

range this, and also to look after the
comfort of the Veterans. Also get con-
sent of Mrs. Poissons agent for the use

Would it be best to have the reunion to

III. A. LONDON
| The matter of the proposed encamp-
ment was discussed at length, and it was
decided to appoint committee consisting
of Capt. James I. Metts, Capt. W. R.
Kenan and DR.. j. E. Matthews to make
the proper canvass and to ascertain ii it
is practicable to have the encampment,
as suggested by Col. London. The COM
mittee is instructed to report as soon as
| possible to Commander Metts, who will
| in turn communicate with Col. London.
| August 18th appears to be the favorite
date with veterans here, instead of the
| 21st, as suggested. The committee was
| appointed to call in such other members
as it deemed necessary to thorough can
vass.
Maj. G. c. Bunch. Assistant Quarter
master General of the State Guard, is here
and has everything in readiness for the
opening OF the Third Regiment encamp-
ment tomorrow The site is regarded by
military men an ideal one and one of the
| most successful encampments in the his
| tory of the State is being anticipated.
The First Battalion, Boys Brigade of
America, Paymaster General Walker
Taylor commanding, is in camp at South
port The battalion is composed of half
a hundred Wilmington boys, whom Col
Taylor has organized for their moral and
social welfare. The organization is six
years old and the encampment this year
is very successful.

THE ALABAMA CONVENTION.
Report of Committee on Local Legislation
Read The Conventions Action
(By the Associated Press. J

Montgomery Ala, July 9.-The evils of
local legislation was the matter for dis
cussion today before the Constitutional
convention. The report of the Committee
on Local Legislation was read and pro-
hiDitory subjects as follows were passed:
First, granting a divorce; second, re-
lieving any minor of the disabilities of
non-age third, changing the name of any
corporation, association or Individual;
fourth. providing for the adoption of legit-
imizing of any child; fifth, Incorporating
any town. city or village; sixth, grant
ing a charter to any corporation, associa-
tion or individual: seventh. establishing
rules of descent or distribution; eighth.
regulating time within which civil OF
criminal acton may be taken; ninth, ex-
empting any person, corporation, county,
township, municipality or association
from the operation of any general law
Cunningham moved to amend the re-
port by excepting the sale of liquor. He
feared that this might interfere with the
power of a community to get dispensary
or prohibition. This caused a strong de-
bate and was finally adopted.

COL. LONDON'S LETTER
Asks the Cape Fear Camp if the Plan
is Practicable
A COMMITTEE IS AT ONCE APPOINTED
Il Will Make a Canvass 10 Ascertain if Whining
ton Citizens Will Join in Making the
Encampment a Success and
Then Report.

The Confederate veterans OF TINS
State will probably have a reunion ana
encampment at Wrightsville beginning
the goth of August, which will no doubt
be a most enjoyable occasion. At the
last annual reunion of the veterans,
held in this city, on the 22nd of August
last. a resolution was adopted author
izing General j. S. Carr to designate
the time and place for a reunion this
year. Accordingly Mr.. II. A. London,
his chief of staff, has been in corre-
spondence for the past two or three
weeks in regard to the time and place.
Upon application to Governor Aycock
he has consented that the veterans may
use the tents and camp equippage of
the State Guard, at the expiration of
their encampment at Wrightsville,
which closes on the 14th of August.
These tents will accommodate from
six hundred to one thousand persons.
and there are cooking utensils suffi-
cent for that number of persons.
Application has also been made to the
railroads for a rate of one cent per mile,
which will doubtless be given. AS soon
as the arrangements can definitely be
made an official order will be issued by
General Carr announcing the same. In
the meantime the veterans may be
looking forward to and preparing for
this delightful occasion.

Mr.. Frank Brown, on Jones street last

| There was a runaway marriage at the
residence of Squire w. T. Neal about
six miles from Durham Sunday. The

ternoon for Pittsboro to spend a few
days with his family
The County Board of Education was
in session yesterday when Prof. C. w.
Massey, who has served the county for
some time as Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools so faithfully was reelected
This was a good selection.
The annual report of Treasurer Luns-
ford made the best showing in the his
tory of the county 1t is as follows
During the year the treasurer collect
| ed from all sources $31 ,632 SO for school
The disbursements amounted to $29,-
| go, 55, leaving a balance of 81, ,402.4 or
| hand. Among the expenses were the
| following items: Paid white teachers
| $14,619.57 ,colored teachers 1880 and tt
| city schools $6,00115.
| Superintendent Massey's annual re-
port shows there are now GO schools ir
the county, % whites, the remainder
have good houses and the remaining 81
either need new houses or the present
| houses in use should be repaired.
| During the year the white schoo
showed an increase of 317, the
colored remaining about the same a:
the previous year. Under 'Rura
Library Act 25 schools have applied fol
libraries and $2776S is now in hand fol
| this purpose.
The statistical portion of thu super
| intendents report as to the county
shows the following facts: Census
AIT; enrolment, 2,5S1; attendance, L.,
275, and amount paid teachers as sala
| ries, 81, 1880. The colored schools made
the following showing: Census, 2,436
enrolment, 1,500; attendance, GA, ant
| amount paid teachers, $605.
Last year the amount apportionet
was s3.15 per capita and it is nov
thought that it will be equally as much
| if not more this year. 1t is the gen
eral opinion that the property valuation
will show an increase this year, and i
this is the case, of course the schoo
fund will also increase.

Especial to News and Observer)
Charlotte, N. c., July 9.-Wilmington
took the first game of the new series
from Charlotte this afternoon. The score
was, Wilmington, z; Charlotte, 4. 1t was
by no means an enjoyable game as Allen
for Wilmington disgusted the large audi
Mac9 present by continual kicking while
were hurtful decisions made on
n sides. Wilmington more than came
best.
- The umpiring was done by Stewart, of
the Wilmington team and Lipp of Char
lotte. Both were rank, but Stewart, by
far the rankest The attendance was
even larger than yesterday, fully $50
people witnessing the wrangle, for it can
: barely be called a game of ball. 1t is
generally conceded among the cranks that
official umpires will b a necessity and
President Higgs will be asked to appoint
one for tomorrows game. The following
