been destroyed, and the Tarlton hotel
was in flames.
The wind drove the blaze toward the
Windsor and the Luray hotels, and
these, too, were soon mass of flames.
The Stratford hotel, at Kentucky ave-
hue and the board walk one block
north Of the Tarlton, also caught fire.
These three buildings soon became
total loss.

was soon burning fiercely.
1t was seen after two hours hard
work that the fire was beyond the con-

HENDERSON TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Completes Long Distance Line That
Connects Henderson With the


We are advised by General-Supsrin-
tendent T. G. Toepleman that the
final connections have been made be-
tween Greenville and kinston. so that
the long distance service of the Hen
derson Telephone Company i. NON IN
practical operation to Morehead City,
and all intermediate points. Con-
struction on this line was begun at
Spring Hope last July and since that
time from one to three crews have
been in the field pushing the work
forward. The main line constructed
to complete this connection covers a
distance Of about 200 miles. and is
double metallic circuit throughout,
one for through business touching
important points, the other for local
business between exchanges: In ad-
dition about 80 miles of branch lines
have been built. To construct this
250 miles of line has required over
5000 juniper poles, 1000 miles of
copper wire, $4,000 insulators and
pins, 5000 cross-arms and $4,000
bolts; aud to transport this material
20 cars were called into service.
Over 100 men have been steadily
employed for eight months, and about
one and one-half miles of line was
finished each working day. The work
of constructing these lines is an I'M
dertaking Of considerable magnitude
and must require a vast amount Of
capital.
Great credit is due the Companies
for their efforts in connecting up with
first class long distance lines so large
scope of territory in so short a
time, over 1920 miles of toll lines
having been built in the last six years
The main line now extends from
Chase City, Va, to Morehsad City,
n. c., affording direct communities
ton with over 5000 subscribers in
80 Exchanges. The principal points
reached by the line just completed
are Rocky Mount, Greenville, Tar
boro, Scotland Neck, Wilson, Wash
ington, Ayden, Kinston, Dover,
Trenton, New Bcrne, Bayboro and
Morehead City.
A cable is now being laid from
Morehead City to connect Beaufort
with the system.
The long distance service heretofore
Instituted and operated has been found
invaluable for its convenience and
the facilitating Of business, and the
new lines just opened will simply be
Of so much additional benef. to the
business interests of the territory
covered by the Henderson and the
Carolina & Virginia Telephone Com
panies.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Opportunity for Women Teachers to
Spend Month at State Normal.

President Charles ID. McIver, of the
State Normal and Industrial College,
has sent out the following announce
ment to women school teachers of the
State. This opportunity for more
thorough insight into pedagogy is =
great one and will no doubt be taken
advantage of by quite a number OF
young women who feel the need Of a
month of practice and observation:
To the Public School Teachers of North
Carolina:
The authorities of the State Normal
and Industrial College, desiring to rem
der every possible service to the educa-
tonal interests of the State, have decided
to offer women teachers an institute OF
one month.
This is intended especially for those
teachers who desire to better equip
themselves for their work, but who, for
various reasons. are unable to pursue the
full course.
Amatrieulationf fee Of S5wll be charged
which will entitle the person paying the
same to all lectures, library privileges
use of textbooks. etc. The only addition
al expense will be for board and laundry,
both of which will not cost more than ~
a week.
In the Department OF Pedagogy, lee
lures on the best methods OF teaching all
the common school studies will be given
and the students will have an opportun,
itv to spend some time in the Practice and
Observation School.
In addition. lectures and laboratory
work will be offered in the different de
partments of science.
Besides the regular faculty OF the State
Normal and Industrial College, We shall
have with u- several city superintendent
and other prominent educators to deliver
special lectures.

Value of Intensive Farming,

The Greensboro Record gives an
Illustration Of the value Of intensive
farming. 1t SAYS young man in the
Southern portion of Guilford county
last year planted two acres in tobacco
Concentrating energies on a small
crop he brought it to q high state of
cultivation, using more fertilizers
than usual His father planted crop
OF six acres on the same farm from
which he realized less money than the
son. the labor and expense attached
TO the crop IT six acres would. had
they been expended on one-third the
acreage, brought more clear cash to
the farmer. we honestly believe
Fertilizers of double strength could
have been used at less cost than
those employed on the six acres.
Double the amount Of cultivation
would have entailed less work on the
smaller crop. In curing and handling
the work would have been less, and
in returns there would have been a
decided advantage
