 New Franchise.

Sheffield March -(Special.) .)-The mayor and council of Sheffield have de- clired to grant franchise for an ex- change to be operated in competition with the exchange of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company now in Sheffield The application for fran chise was made by John c. Monteith, representing Barber & Bradley, owners Of certain independent telephone prop critics. The matter received careful con- sideration at the hands of the members of the council and after full discus sion it was unanimously decided that second telephone system in Sheffield would result in an increased financial burden to the community and very con- siderable annoyance as well. The ser vice of the Southern Bell company in Sheffield was pronounced excellent, and the rates reasonable and the mayor and council were unanimously of the opinion that a second telephone system would be highly undesirable

SCHOOLS CLOSED RE0RGAN|z ATION
Year Was Attended With
Success in All De-
partmentS.

The public schools of Raleigh were
closed yesterday. No exercises at
tended the commencement, as the
Kirmess, which will soon be given, is
composed of a large number of school
children, and the management of the
schools did not wish to disarrange. the
plans for this entertainment.
The reports from the different
schols in the city have not been COM
pleted and superintendent Moses said
yesterday that the exact number OF
pupils in attendance during the pas;
school year could not be known until
these reports have been submitted,
They will be made out and sent to him
next week. Mr. Moses said the past
year has been the most successful
year in the history of the city schools.
The number of students was larger,
the average of attendance better the
discipline more generally observed,
and the department and scholarship
of q superior quality than ever before.
One of the marked successes of the
term was that of the two sewing and
cooking schools, one for the white and
the second for the colored children.
These have marked an epoch in the
public education in Raleigh. said Mr..
Moses. There were about 125 children
who attended each of these schools.
Their popularity is as large as the city
and they have caused many homes to
be filled with delight. 1t is not known
whether or not these schools will be
continued next year.

Sentiment in Chamber of
Commerce For Paid
Secretary.

The Chamber of Commerce. at a
meeting next week. will be re-organ-
lied. and there are several plans being
considered for it's future conduct and
government. 1t is proposed to make
of it an institution of unauestionable
value to Raleigh. and to do this 1t was
agreed by all the members present at
the meeting last Tuesday night, that
the employment of a paid secretary
was imperative, if the chamber was to
be one of usefulness to the city's COM
mercial and industrial interests.
A prominent member of the cham
Der, and u man who has definite ideas
concerning what he believes should be
done. in an interview yesterday said:
THE chief need to effect the re-
organization of the Chamber of Com
merce along the lines proposed by the
special committee appointed last Tues
day night is u Secrtary to the chamber.
who Will be promoter of industries.
a man who knows the value of an
enterprise when he sees the possibility
of its location or establishment in
Raleigh. He should be a past master
in the art of promoting and adver-
Using what he has seen and knows to
be a good thing. 1t requires tireleSS
diligence and unhagging zeal and
courage to determine upon what is
good and then give the proper infor-
nation about it. and to make the eX-
perimentS essential to its success.
When Raleigh had the boom fifteen
years ago that startled most of it's
successful enterprises. some of them
failed for want of adaptation to the
locality, and because the wrong men
were placed at the head of them. In
the North where skilled labor and
especially trained men are abundant
the savings banks are directly or in
directly, far greater promoters Of in
dustries. There. as here. the mass of
the people who have small salaries are
not always the best judges of invest
mentS. and less of successful enter
prises, but the managers of the banks
know when an enterprise or industry
should be assisted as they often do
among us, except our bankers must
needs be far more conservative and
can give little aid until success has
been already attained, and financial
standing become a fact But there is
plenty of money to be had to organize
any industry. provided the right in
dustry and the right men to plan 1T
are found.
''The secretary of the chamber, If
one is elected under the plans to be
recommended by the committee. must
be a man of approved business meth
DDS. One great difficulty about having
an experienced man at the head Of
affairs is that he often organizes the
inexperienced holders out of the cor
poration. This process is familiar on
the Fxcharoe. The business of a
chamber of commerce is to see that in
any enterprise it promotes, the small
lest investors are protected, and Wen
paid man of business sagacity AID eHS~
perfence is essential to this purpose"

The Crisis.

(From the London Times.)
Spirit of Russia, now has come
The day when thou can'st not be
dumb
Around thee foams the torrent tide,
Above thee is fell fountain, Pride,
The senseless rock, awaits thy word
sTc crumble: shall it be unheard?
Already, like tempest-sun,
That shoots the flare and shuts to
Thy land 'twixt flame and darkness
heaves,
Showing the blade whercwith Fate
cleaveS,
If mortals in high courage fall
At the one breath before the gale.
Those rulers in all forms of lust,
Who trod thy children down to dust
On the red Sunday, know right we'll
What word for them thy voice would
spell,
What quick perdition for them weave,
Did they in such a voice believe.
Not thine to raise the avenger's
shrek,
Nor turn to them a Tolstoi cheek:
Nor menace him, the waverer still,
Man of much heart and little will,
The criminal of his nigh seat.
Whose plea of Guiltless judges it.
Fer him thy voice shall hiring to hand
Salvation, and to thy torn land,
Seen on the breakers. Now has come
The day when thou can'st not be
dumb
Spirit of Russia those who bind
Thy limbs and iron cap thy mind,
Take thee for quaking flesh, mis-
doubt
That thou art of the rabble rout
Which cries and fees, with whimper-
ing lip,
From reckless gun and brutal whip,
But he who has at heart the deeds
Of thy heroic offspring reads
In them a soul: not given to shrink
From peril on the abysss brink.
With never dread of murderou'
power:
With view beyond the crimson hour
Neither an instinct driven might
| Nor visionary erudite;
| A soul; that art thou. It remains
| For thee TO stay the children's veins
| The countertides of hate arrest,
/ Give to thy sons a breathing breast.
/ And Him resembling, in His sight,
i Say to thy land. Let there be Light.
| GEORGE MEREDITH.

IS NOT REvOCABLE
Decision of Interest to
Our People.
Power Of Attorney Granted Insurance
Commissioner Can't Be Recalled
Till All Debts to Our People
Are Paid.
Csv thu lated Press

(By thu lated Press.)
New York l9.-Power of at
torney granite. the commissioner OF
insurance of Nor,h Carolina by am in
sulance company with headquarters in
this State, is not revocable by the com,
pany SO long as an liability of the com.
pany to citizens of North Carolina ex,
lists. A decision to this effect was
handed down today by teh appellate
division of the Supreme Court in a
case brought against the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York. The
company in question went In North
Carolina and agreed, as a condition
TO enable it to do business, to accept
service upon the insurance commits
sioner. 1t subsequently withdrew
from the State, the persons who had
policies in it continued to serve the
commissioner. although the company
maintained they were not entitled TO
do so. Robert G. Lambert and Henry
p. G. Johnson held seventeen assigned
judgments against the company which
were obtained by such service. The
company took the ground that the
service was not legal and that the
judgments therefore were worthless
This contention was overruled by the
decision given today.
