COLUMBUS TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Work Done Which Will Bear Rich
Fruit in Years to Come.
Especial correspondence }

Whiteville, N. c., Aug. 22.-The
teachers institute of Columbus county
closed Friday. 1t has been in ses-
sion for two weeks Lasting good was
done for the children of the county.
The teachers will go to their work
this fall better equipped and fuller of
zeal for this worthy calling.
The institute was conducted by Prof.
T. r. Foust, superintendent of the
graded schools of Goldsboro, assisted
by Miss Eta Spiers, who has been en-
gagged in primary work in the same
schools.
Prof. Foust has a way of going to
the heart of his subject whatever it
may be, that makes anything he
handles interesting.
Miss Spier came as an entire stran-
ger, but the county NAV well be con-
graduated on securing her aid. She
proved herself a teacher of rare gifts.
and we'll adapted to institute work.
On Tuesday afternoon the Ladies
Society for the Betterment of Schools
and School Houses met with the insti-
tute. Mrs. j. A. Brown Chadbourn,
district vice-president, was present,
and by request presided over this
meeting. Reports from the various
members showed that work had been
done in many districts in the improve
iiiIiiI VI oSllCOI IlOGSCS anu SIOuiluS.
Mrs. Lee Powell of WhitevilIe, was
elected county president and Mrs W.
II. Speight vice-president for the en-
suing year. Mrs. Brown came with
the proposition, that instead of requir-
ing the county president to travel
over the entire county the constitution
should be so amended as to give each
township a vice-president, whose duty
it should be to organize the various
districts in her own township This
was adopted unanimously and the
vice-presidents We're appointed for all
the townships With this new organi-
CATION and with speeches which were
made by Hon. j. A. Brown and others
the movement has eiven new impe-
tus and it is confidently expected that
very efficient work will be done during
the following year.

that territory for the purpose of as
sisting in pollin~ the entire Democratic
vote for the Democratic ticket"
The selection of Mr.. DoWling for
the position named was a result of the
conference at Democratic National
headquarters. 1t is intended to restore
political harmony between McCarren
and C. F. Murphy, and so far rs the
organization for the State and Ma
tional campaign is concerned it will
have that result. Bowling will have
charge of Greater New York and his
close association with Murphy makes
il sure that the organization will be
thoroughly Tammany. But it does not
end the feud between the men either
personally or politically. A Tammany
man close to Murphy said that the
fight in the primaries on the 30th
would go on"
The Democratic National Executive
committee refused "officially' to take
up the Murphy -McCarren row, but 1T
was thoroughly discussed "unof-
ficially."
Individual members offered their ad-
vice and no doubt assisted the DaWling
selection which is believed by them
to meet all conditions for the cam
paign in Greater New York and en-
list an earnest Tammany support.

Chinese just arrived who bring the
latest information from Port Arthur
confirm the statement that the Liza
tung promonotory was not assaulted
for the reason that it is iInpregnable
from the seaside and the Japanese are
unable to move on it from the north.
The Japanese main attack has been
the heaviest against the Russian CEN
ter and right, particularly against the
center, fronting which the Japanese
have taken up a strong position at
Pigeon Bay had been the scene of
fighting several days before the final
assault had begun. the Japanese never
being able to hold for long any terri
tory they might gain. Their attacks
were made mostly at night during fog
gy days and misty mornings.
Civilians are allowed to leave the
bomb-proofs during the lulls in artil-
lery fire. but these intermissions are
rare and everybody is worn and anx-
ious over the situation An unusually
large proportion of young company
officers have been killed, which is par
TALLY owing to their duties and to
their reckless daring.
While the Russians apparently be-
leve they hold the Japanese in check,
their confidence in their successful re-
sistance is not absolute. The Japa-
neSe have gone mounted on nearly all
the hills which formerly formed Rus
sian outpoSts.
The Japanese fire is accurate. The
hospitals at Port Arthur are full of
Russian wounded The narratorS said
