meeting was presided over by the presi-
dent, Mrs. w. r. Hollowell, who has re
Gently been elected president of the State
society. She entertained the members
with a most excellent talk on the work
of the society. 1t was a pleasure and
an inspiration to hear this good woman,
who is so earnest and active in the WORK
in which so many of the best women
in the State are now actively engaged
so much for the present
genera ton and promising SO much for the
future.
After those teachers who had accom-
rlished most for the betterment of the
schools had related their experiences,
County Superintendent f. T. Atkinson
made brief but enthusing talk to the
society, expressing his appreciation of
the splendid work of the teachers. HIS
generous words of encouragement Were
an inspiration.
Misses Charity Atkinson, Edna oliver,
Julia K. Holmes and Genne Coor and
Mr.. R. T. league were in close competi-
ton for the prize offered to the teacher
by the association for making the great
est Improvement to a school house and
grounds. The committee awarded the
prize by unanimous vote to Miss AZ
kinson. Misses Jennie and Emma Uz-
zell, Georgia Joyner and Emma Cox and
Mr.. l.. H. Reeves deserve special mention
for money raised for libraries, as well as
marked improvements in the school
houses and grounds.
Mrs. Jno. R. Smith was elected presi-
cent and Miss Ophelia Howell was elect
ed secretary and treasurer. Before the
meeting closed an invitation was extended
the society by the Goldsboro Womans
Club to attend a public reception given
in their honor from 8 to II o'clock this
evening in the club room.

Especial to News and Observer

year old child of Mayor and Mrs. B. +.
Lively. of Spencer, was severely injured
last night by being hit on the head :
a ten-year-old son of Mr.. T. A. Ingle. A
number of children were playing in the
street in front of the home Of the mayor
when dispute arose between two of the
older boys. With heavy stick young In
gle struck at son of Mayor Lively but
missed him and hit the little girl who
was standing in the group. Besides the
injuries on the head the little one lost
the use of the left arm. the nerve OF
which seems to have been affected. The
wounds were dressed by Drs. Young and
EAum and it is not thought they will
prove serious.
The cars which have for a long while
been used to carry several hundred me-
chanics from Salisbury to Spencer shops
night and morning are being altered and
enclosed so as to be more comfortabt
during the winter months. Heretofore
they have been after the plan of summer
cars, thus exposing the mechanics to Sc
we're weather.

SEVENTH DISTRICT APPEALS
The Marsh Rape case.-- Notion on an Error in
Transcript.

The Supreme Court is hearing appeals
from the Seventh Judicial District this
week, the district being composed of the
counties of Columbus, Cumberland, Rober-
son. Bladen and Brunswick.
The attorneys who are already present
to argue cases are Messrs. N. A. Sinclair
H. L. Cook, c. G. Rose R. H. Dye and
Is. II. McRae, of Fayetteville; J. G. Nc
Cormick, N. A. Mclean and r. C. Law
renee, of Lumberton; E. K. Bryan and
j. H. Gore. of Wilmington; w A. Guth-
RE, of Durham; Frank Armfeld and T.
j. Jerome, Of Union; john d. Shaw, Jr,
of Laurinburg; L. T.. Cook and J. II.
Cook, of Maxton.
Yesterday the Attorney General made a
motion in the Marsh rape case, from I'M
ion county. Marsh was convicted of
rape and sentenced to be hanged. He ap-
pealed. When the transcript was sent up
to the Supreme Court the words against
her will, did not appear. Later it was
found that the omission of these words
was due to an error in preparing the
transcript, as they appear on the court
record in Union. The motion, which the
Attorney General made is that the trans
script be returned to the clerk of Union
for correction. If the court grants the
motion the case can be argued next week,
among the eighth district cases, for the
correction will make new case of it.
Cases were argued yesterday from the
Seventh district as follows:
State vs.. Marsh; on motion for writ
of certiorari, by ttorney General Tor

THE PRICE OF COTTON
Men Interested in This to
Meet in Raleigh Next
Week.

The following call has been Issued:
All cotton growers and other persons
interested in the price of cotton are re
quested to meet in the House OF Rep
resentatives in the State Capitol, We'd
nesday evening, October 21st, at 7:30
o'clock.
Every indication points to short cot
ton crop, one much below the require
ments of the trade. There IS no reason
why every farmer should not get good
prices for his cotton this season. Let
every cotton growing county IN the State
be represented in this meeting and CO.
operate for minimum price of ten cents
pound. The following letter from Mr..
Harvie Jordan explains the situation in
the cotton growing States. Many think
the present cotton crop should bring l2h
cents a pound. The Commissioners OF
Agriculture of the Cotton Growing States
IL their meeting last week estimated the
crop to be only 10OO0,271 bales, which is
short crop and should command good
prices. Let this meeting be largely at
tended by cotton farmers so that definite
steps can be taken looking toward bet
ter prices. Secure low rates by buying
tickets to the Fair.
Respectfully

AS GREENSBORO SEES IT.


Greensboro Telegram
The First North Carolina Reunion is a
breezy sort of affair. Greensboro, used
as it is to gala events, hasn't seen any
thing hitherto that has stirred it so.
Never did such crowds attend the public
play house as did Sunday for the Re-
union sermon and yesterday afternoon
for the exercises of that hour. Never
was the town so bedecked. Never was
the air SO vibrant with excitement, ex-
pectation, enjoyment. Never did brighter
so many prominent men gather here at
one time. Never, In word, was there
such thoroughly suspicious event. There
are geing to be subsequent reunions but
we shall be afraid of them lest they fail
to come up to the precedent established
this good week. Senator Ransom said
yesterday that all honor was due the
promoters and authors of the movement
and SO it is. They have accomplished
wonders. They are the heroes of diff
Guilty portrayed in DR.. Dixon's famous re-
union sermon. However. this is not to
forget the reunion visitors. AS has be-
fore been stated in this paper they are all
assured of,a hearty welcome to our city.
Greensboro is particularly proud of the
lustre which these dispersed North Caro-
linians have shed upon the State. They
have done the State a great servce-let
us all honor them. The reunion was
largely held to show what men North
Carolina can produce Who shall say
that purpose has not been fulfilled?

Mr.. T. B. Parker, Secretary, Raleigh,
n. c.:
My Dear Sir: l am just in receipt of
your favor of the End inst, and you
voice my views exactly. For the past
month l have begun an active campaign
throughout the South advocating higher
prices for our great staple crop, placing
the minimum price at which it should be
sold at 10 cents per pound. | would be
pleased to have your active co operation
in this matter. Cotton is much too low
a. the present time, and the depression
is largely due to the rush of the raw
material on the markets by the producers.
The crop will be short one. There wilt
not be enough cotton made to last the
mills for another twelve months, and
those who hold and market slowly viii
get the cream of better prices later or
Let us all work for at least 10 cents per
pound.
With best wishes l beg to remain,
Yours truly,
