be far from them to accuse their

it may not be amiss to hint to

be very clearly indicated that
they are treading on dangerous

Fort Worth, Apr. 27 1897.

To whom it may concern:-This
is to certify that my daughter has
been a pupil to Miss Helm during
the past two months in the study Of
music.
We are well pleased with her sys-
tenn of teaching music, including
thorough bass and harmony and dc
not hesitate to say that daughter has
gained more musical knowledge dur
ing this two months than during any
swo years of previous instructions
from other teachers.
Her system of teaching is new and
practical, and embodies more musi-
cal knowledge in one lesson than
does that of an ordinary teacher in
twenty. She teaches thorough bass
and harmony as if by magic, making
it so plain that the youngest pupil
readily understands it.
1 would cheerfully recommend
Miss Helm as a teacher to any one
who may desire thorough know
ledge of the great laws of music, in
place of the superficial parrot-like
methods of the average teacher.
Very Respectfully,
Professor G.. H. FoLLETT.

mony and thorough bass, 1 have

A. Helm and have learned more in
this time than in twelve years study
in the old letter method.
Very respectfully
SR. ScHOLASTICA.
I have taken six lessons in
Thorough Bass and Harmony, and
am very much pleased with the
method, as it is very progressive
and rapid; also much more simplified
than the old letter methods, and
can recommend Miss Helm as &
thorough teacher of the same and
think it more than worth the money
she asks for the lessons.
Respectfully,
MRS. CARRIE R. EUPER.

"You are getting mighty hot" said
a gentleman yesterday, 'in the idea
that Butler was elected a director of
the new Republican daily to be es-
tablished at Greensboro. If Butler is
not to furnish the money, don't you
know he would not have been made
a director. The Republicans hope to
succeed by appealing to the manufac-
turers Putting Butler in the fore
front is like shaking a red rag at u
mad bull
"Why was Butler made a director
them" l asked.
your informant had it right. He
is to furnish most of the money. viii
he spend his own money? Those who
know Butler do not entertain that idea
for a minute. Whose money will he
spend? Don't you imagine? How
come it that the plans for an Indus
trial daily and a fight to make the
State pay the general tax bonds come
together? Is it a coincidence? Not
on your life. The holders of those
bonds wish a campaign of education
and Butler is their agent now as he
was i'm the South Dakota litigation"

The event of the week in Raleigh
will be the trial of the Catfish Kilgo
case, for which a special term of court
was ordered by Governor Glenn after
a continuance of the case at the last
term on account of the absence of
Mr. Odell and other witnesses.

sci which will participate in the trial.
Among them are Judge Graham and
Hon. Cyrus Watson, for the plaintiff,
and Judge Winston and others for the
defense.

Court and gone to the Supreme Court,

has received verdicts for damages in
large amounts AS is we'll known, the
case grew out of the famous corre-
spondence in 1898 between Judge
Clark and DR.. Kilgo, resulting in an
investigation demanded by the latter,
and is an action for libel based on
publication by the Board of Trustees
