DREAMING DREAMS.

Some people can get hope out of a
thunder storm of calamity. Notwith-
standing the overwhelming defeat of the
Republican party a Republican paper by
some logic of it's own, made for the occa-
sion, argues that the Democratic party
lost 10000 white votes in the last cleo
ton, and then jollies itself with this
summing up of the situation, which it's
imagination has conimred:
"a loss of only 10000 next time by the
Democratic party to the Republican
party, or Just one-fourth of what they
lost this time, will give the Republicans
the State. There is no reason why the
Democrats shouldn't loose as much next
election as they did this, and this will
give the Republicans a large majority"
OF course the defeated must take COM
fort out of something, and this is a
variation of the cry of election frauds, -
but it seems that the editor who wrote
the above must have been indulging in a
good and stiff pipe dream.

FOR THE SCHOOLS.

publication that should be in the
hands of every school teacher in North
Carolina is the October number of the
Bulletin of the North Carolina Board of
Health. This number is devoted mainly
to a discussion of the question of
Hygiene in Schools" and it is full of
suggestions of real value.
The county school boards and all who
have to do with the construction of
school houses, will find many hints that
will prove of much help when new school
buildings are to be erected, for practical
working plans are given. The publica-
tion is timely and the suggestions made
can be used in the city schools as well
as those in the country.
The various subjects treated of in this
number are comprised under the heads of
Location, Approaches, Construction of
School house as to lighting and ventila-
tion, Sight and Hearing, Water Supply,
Sanitary Conveniences, Recreation and

GENERAL GORDON ENTERTAINED.
United States Cigar Company Would Locate d
FACTORY in Wilmington
Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer)
Wilmington, n. c., Nov. 21.-General
John 3. Gordon was royalty entertained
last evening upon the occasion of his
appearance here to deliver his celebrated
lecture, First Days of the Confederacy. +"
The entertainment was by the local
camp of veterans and the militia COM
panies. The distinguished Southerner
was met at the railway station by
deputation of prominent Confederatas and
escorted to The Orion, where he was
entertained by a committee on recep-
tion. Later in the evening he avs es-
corted by Cape Fear Camp of Veterans,
in uniform, and the Wilmington Light
Infantry to the Academy of Music where
he was listened to with rapt attention
by an enthusiastic audience. AS the
procession moved up the street, the
veterans gave the rebel yell'' and en-
thusiastic cheers went up for their dis
tinguished guest A detachment OF
Naval Reserves fired a salute from their
one pound Hotchkiss gun. Gen. Gordon
left this morning for High Point where
he lectures this evening.
Mr.. David James Nixon, an esteemed
citizen of Topsail Sound, died Wednes-
day night at the advanced age of rs
years.
The United States Cigar Company of
Pittsburg, Pa, has made proposition
to the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce to locate one of its factories here
under certain conditions as to site, eX-
emption from taxation, etc. 1t is not
known what disposition the Chamber OF
Commerce will make of the proposition.
The British steamer "Windby" cleared
yesterday for Liverpool with 1850 bales
of cotton, valued at $500, 900, and con-
signed by Messrs. Alexander Sprunt &

NORTH CAROLINA DAY.

The value of the proper instruction
of the youth of the State in the grand
history of North Carolina can not be
overestimated. and the annual return
OF North Carolina Day" and it's cele-
bration Is going to become the means Of
teaching, not alone the children, but the
grown people also, much about North
Carolina which they do not know.
1t is astonishing how little the people
in general know of the history of the
various sections, yet not so astonishing
when it IS remembered that there has
always been lacking in the schools of
the State a proper history setting forth
what the men who made this common
wealth have done. The setting aside of
recital of past events in our history
will do good. but still there is the need
for an everyday lesson about North Car
DINA in every school in the State to
every pupil.
North Carolina Day" this year is on
November 18th. the day before Thanks
giving, and the State Superintendent has
issued an instructive program on the
"Albemarle Section for use on that day
1t contains q vast amount of interesting
matter for the use of the schools on this
occasion, and it should be the basis of
an entertainment in every school in
the State
1t should be a pleasant duty for each
County Superintendent in North Caro-
lima to see that each school in his
county observe the day. The more that
is known of our splendid history the
more love will there be for the State.

AS TO HORsE--sWAPPEBs

Conventions and conventions at all
seasons make glad the hearts of those
who put on new suits and arrayed in
their best bibs and fuckers HE themselves
away and properly convene.
But Clay county is at the top OF the
ladder as regards conventions, and the
one that it is going to pull off at Brass
town this week is going to eclipse all
others and be a genuine "corker.'
The Clay County Courier furnishes the
details of the convention, which can but
be read with interest. 1t says:
w. ~ Brendle will make the address
Of welcome.
Fred Burrell will be field officer for
the mounted torchlight procession Sat
urday night.
Prof. ]. S. Dickey will conduct the
singing.
Rev. Mr.. Sword will read a chapter
on the generation of the humpback
mule.
Free lunch will be served for all.
In justice to infirm animals and for
the protection of human life, the march
will be slow.
1t is expected that every delegate
will try to swap off his steed for some
thing that doesn't whistle fodder" but
no guarantee to that effect will be re-
quired from members in good standing.
The Courier very properly calls this
grand OCCASION" and urges a full at
tendance, for in view Of the horse swap
ping that may take place it provides
jollity and tears by remarking that part
Of the crowd is sure to get happy ana
the balance are mourners.
The selection of speakers seems to be
a happy one. though the name OF Mr..
Brendle. who welcomes the convention,
suggests that the cow industry should
have part in the program. Rev. Mr..
Sword and the humpback mule essay will
undoubtedly be a browning feature of
the event.
We are sorry we have lost sight of the
fact that there have been two other
Horse Swapping Conventions in West
ern North Carolina this fall, as we
learn now that one has been held at
Murphy and another at Concord. The
meetings must have been racy affairs,
and that we have been derelict in keep
ing our readers informed is much re-
GREETED.
By the way this would be good con-
vention for Senator Pritchard to attend.
He is Just now in a dilemma about the
horse he is riding and the horse that
President Roosevelt prefers. II he
should drop in at Brasstown during the
proceedings he might get few useful
hints about swapping, that would make
appetizng the dish of crow that seems
to be cooking for him. Or perhaps he
thinks his present stock is of the bone
yard variety.
