uate course At the time of the meeting
of County Superintendent here that body
visited the Blind Institution and in the
party was Rev. j. A. Beam, President

Mr.. Beam was much impressed with the
work CT the institution Have you a
young man here that | could secure as a
teacher?" he asked Principal John e..
Ray. Yes" said Mr.. Ray. | have Mr..
Baldwin here taking post graduate
course and l think that he will suit you"
Mr. Beam talked with Mr.. Baldwin and
engaged him. The following Monday both
left for Person county, and there Mr..

The blind teacher is a native of Orange

ROYALTY ENTERTAINED,
The Governor and Party Tell of the Splendid
Trip They Had to the East.

Governor Aycock, Secretary of State
j. Bryan Grimes and State Auditor B. F.

voted Judge Winston to be the prince Of
Good Fellows, and President Gown, of

Edenton.
I'VE visited the fisheries on the Sound
as well as the Government Hatchery at
Edenton. The Governor was met at
