FIGHT OVER LOCATING SCHOOL.
Kinston Complains of Raleigh and Wilson
Clubs Cancelling Dates.

Kinston, N. c.. July 1.-THE entire
town is very much wrought up ovr the
matter of the location for the new school
buildings for which $4,000 bonds were
voted in May
The people want the building in a cen
trail position, while the trustees seem
determined to place it in the northern
extremity of town.
The board of aldermen have now en-
tered the fight and have decided to post
pone the issue of bonds until the people
and the board of trustees can come to
an understanding about it.
Two or three soldiers who volunteered
from this place have recently returned
from the Philippine islands, among them
Sergeant Ray Lincoln, of the Forty
seventh regiment of volunteers.
Mr.. Lincoln participated in seventeen
engagements and was not sick a day.
The Raleigh amateur club accepted
dates here and allowed us to go to con-
siderable expense in advertising, etc,
and at the last moment cancelled the
dates by wire without reason. Weldon
also treated us the same way in the pre-
vious week and the loss to our club was
about $25 for the two occasions. We see
no other way to do than to require a
forfeiture hereafter when dates are made
to cover such losses to us.

THE question of fatigue caused to
the eyes by various kinds of artificial
lights has recently been taken up and
studied at some length by a Russian
government expert says Electricity.
He says that the involuntary closing
of the eye (winking) is a sign of wear
mess. Using surfaces Illuminated by
various light, he counted the involun-
tary movements of the eyeIid, his re-
suits being that when candlehght was
used the eyes closed 6.8 times d min
ute, with gaslight winking occurred
IS times a minute, with sunlight the
eyes closed % times and with electric
light Is times. From these facts he
draws the conclusion, which seems to
be corrOborated by other observations,
that the electric light is the least in
injurious to the eyesight of all varie-
ties of artificial illuminants."

Then he said: 1T Tay be that l have

Going to his bookcase he took down
a massive tome of sermons rare
and almost forgotten work. He turned
to a certain page and an apologize,

statement was frequently mad. There

what gossips have so long declared to
be fact. The Duke and his young
duchess are, it is said, to begin their
married life by spending a quiet year
at Eaton Hall, the historic seat near
Chester, where so many notable gath

the head of the house of GIosvenor

late duke and his second duchess
never cared to occupy the more state

PERTAINING on large scale. AS a rule,
they lived in a small set of petits APP
partments Curiously reminiscent of
those tiny suites of rooms which are
found tucked away in corners Of royal
French palaces. 1t will be interesting
to see if the young duke and his bride
follow in this matter in the first
dukes footsteps.-London Sketch.
