How Wilmington Does 1t.
louisville Courier-Journal.)


In the city of Wilmington, N. c.,
there have developed during the past
few years several ways for readjusting
the numerical ratio between the white
and colored population. Some time
ago it was deemed advantageous to
the health of the community that
certain of it's negro inhabitants seek
residence in other parts of the world,
and a committee of citizens so in
formed them. and straightway the
population of Wilmington fell off lit
tie. Last Sunday a large number of
negroes left Wilmington for quite an
other reason, and all of sudden
without warning house-keepers We're
without servants and two big lumber
mills We're forced to shut down for
lack of hands. negro, Prince
George H., Ruler of the Universe -
had been visiting Wilmington re-
peatedly for about year giving out
the information that on Monday, the
18th of August, the city of Whining
ton would be completely destroyed by
fire. Now the people. WLite and
black, are looking for 'the Ruler of
the Universe"

Teachers institute in Surry.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer)
Dobson, ~ c., Aug. 22.-One of the
most wonderful Institutes of the sum-
mer has Just closed its session in Dob
SON. One hundred and eleven teach
ers were enrolled and seemed to at
tend regularly from the first. Only
two of the county'S teachers were
absent and those sent acceptable eX-
cuses Much enthusiasm was mani
tested by both the teachers and the
conductors ofthe institute. Prof. L..
L. Hargrave and Miss Bertha X. Sugg.
Lectures or other entertainments
were provided for nearly every night.
Among which may be mentioned the
talk of a Christian Jap, from Trinity
College He spoke of music in Japan
the history and the Instruments used,
of some of the interesting customs of
China and Japan. When he spoke of
the causes OF the war now existing
between Russia and Japan and show
ed the present situation of the OPP
posing forces. he enlisted the hearty
sympathy of his entire audience.
of especial value to the teachers
was the address by Mr.. w. M
Cundiff. He has recently visited the
Holy Land His lecture showed him
to be a scholar of breadth and cul-
ture. Sand a. man of deep Christian
convictions. Mr.. Cundiff is u mem
Der of the County Board of Education
and with Messrs. Welsh and Kapp,
supported by Prof. ]. II. Allen. Sur
rvs able superintendent, there is no
reason why SurrJN county should not
be as she is. one of the most pro-
greSsive counties in the State SO far
as her educational interests are con-
cerned.
One night of the institute there was
public debate. Subject: "Re-solved.
That the next session of the North
Carolina Legislature pass compul-
sorry School Law" The participants
in this debate were selected from the
public school teachers and from
members o. the bar of Surry county.
The contest was warm and strong and
was very helpful to the cause of ed
ucation.
The organization for the Retirement
of School houses is well organized in
Surry county and is doing a great
work.
A most excellent teachers library
has been procured by Prof. Allen for
the teachers of his county. This is
absolutely free to all the county
teachers, and since the books may be
taken to their homes it offers oppor-
tunitieS of rare excellence.

lady friend forced me back into my
room and made me dress. By tha
time q crowd had gathered and L was
told the awful truth"
Mrs. Brett tainted.
Mrs Brett did not make her state
ment for many hours after the trag-
edy. for when she was first told of the
death of her husband she tainted and
was so i'll for n while that q physician
was summoned to wait upon her.
These were the facts brought out
al the coroner's inquest, and upon
them the jury rendered verdict that
they believed the deceased was MUIR
dered, and they recommended that
Walline be held until the grand jury
could further investigate the case.
After his arrest and after the coro-
ners inquest, Walline was seen at the
police barracks by The Constitution
reporter. He appeared to be very calm
and during the day had conVerSed
with a number of friends, who called
to see him. He retained Arnold 81 Ar
mold to defend him, and acting under
their advice he declined to make any
detailed statement about the shoot
ing.
Says 1t Was Self Defense.
"Al1 I can say at this time" he said,
sis that / killed Brett in self-defense.
1 had to do what l did. and of course
| am very sorry
Further than this the prisoner de-
clined to talk about the matter.
The dead body of Brett was taken
to the undertaking parlors of Hilburn
q Poole, on East Hunter street where
it was prepared for burial. This af-
tcrnoon at 4:30 O'Clock it will be taken
to Macon for interment.
Frank Brett was well known in
many cities in the South. His old
home was in Macon. where he acted
as coach for the Mercer baseball team
last season. Recently he has been
travelling as salesman for medicine
prepared by himself. He married Miss
Anne Jamlson, of Macon, who is q
niece of John r. Boifeuillet, the sec
