tist Association convened at 2 o'clock.

bodied in it's report the recommends
tion that the church at Manteo be ad-

port on Sunday schools was then sub
mitted and ably discussed by Rev.

the association schools was then called
on to report. NJ n. Sawyer member
of the committee asked for further
time saying that he would render a
complete report at, the next session.

effort had already failed and that
there now were enough preparatory
schools in existence. ReVerends Duke,
Bristow; Ayers and Rose vigorously

'In view of the commendable adj
vance in the temperance sentiment in
our State and the quickening of the
conscience of our people with respect
to the effect Of the drink evil, and the
demoralizing tendency of this nefari-
Gus traffic, be it

no note of time. Hearing this, some
one whistled. causing great laughter.
The subject of DR.. Gray's address was.
THE Specialist"
Address by DIR. Gray.
Dr. Gray spoke in part as follows:
He is the best teacher who while train
ing the intellect inspires the pupil
with hope. A man is because he hopes
and expects to be somebody. We see
then how hope and enthusiasm are re-
lated. No hope, no enthusiasm, no
success.
But while hope and enthusiasm are
necessary they do not always bring
success. A sad proof of this is found
in "the boys who wore the gray.
upon what then is a just hope of sue
cess based? Upon a thorough knowl-
edge of ourselves and surroundings.
Only the specialist can have a just
hope. of preeminence, and consequent
ly only the specialist can have the en-
thusiasm necessary to success. The
rock is rent by him who strikes Vigor-
ously steady blows in one place.
The specialist has a definite purpose
and bends everything to its accom-
plishment. He reads, he thinks, he
talks about his work, for where his
treasure is there is his heart also.
1t was Herbert Spencer, l believe,
who defined the educated man of to-
day as one who knows something
about everything, and everything about
something. Such is my idea of the
specialist His knowledge is broad
enough to prevent his being a disagree
able lobbyist an ddefnite enough to
insure permanent success.
Every invention is the work of the
expert And the great patent office al
Washington is an exhibit of our ma
tons reward for her encouragement
to inventive genius in the field of dis.

A GHOST BATTLE
No Confirmation of Rum
ored Sea Fight.
RojestyenskY Believed Ito Be a Thons-
and Miles Northeast of Where 1t
is Said to Have 0c-
Cured.
(By the Associated Press. }

st. Petersburg, May 25.--The Ad-
tory of the Manila report of the de-
feat of Admiral Togo south of For
mosa While it is considered possible
that there may have been a brush
between scouts the idea of an open
battle with Togo is not credited in
the best informed naval circles where
the opinion is expressed that Admiral
Togo would not dare to risk bringing
his battleship division so far south to
meet Admiral Rojestvenslky. 1t is
believed that Togo will try to keep in
touch with the Russians by means
of fast cruisers and await his APP
proach off the Japanese coast.
According to the Admiraltys calcu-
lations Rojestvensky should now be
far out in the Pacific almost q thous-
and miles northeast of the place where
the battle is reported to have oc-
Cured.
An admiral of high rank said to
the Associated Press this afternoon:
1--WE have known for some time that
RoieStvensky would not attempt tC
pass through the Straits of FormOsa
where the waters are shallow and
could easily be mined ahead of his
ships. Rojestvensky will undoubted-
ly keep far out to sea in order to
avoid torpedo attacks. A wide de-
tour will also make it harder for the
Japanese scouts to communicate with
Togo However | expect news of a
battle within ten days"
The evening papers have got out
extras on the report of Rojcstvensky S
victory and the news boys crying the
tidings on the Nevsky Prospect were
almost mobbed by the people in their
eagerness to learn the details.

Corporation Commission, which grant

firmed the Corporation Commission.
The railroad went to the Federal Court
and Judge Purnell overruling ex-Chief
Justice Shepherd, the standing master,
held with the railroad The plaintiffs
appealed and the case is now headed
for the Supreme Court of the United
States. And, in the meantime the
Southern is placing no side tracks
without the contract referred to above,
under which in each case there is con-
templated a purchase in return for the
acquisition of a customer. And there
you are!
Any railroad interest in Greensboro
will tell you that no rebates are given,
directly or Indirectly" After getting
a glimpse at this small matter of the
side tracks-of which there are some
ten or twelve miles in the tOwn-it is
truly difficult to imagine the circum-
stances under which they, would be
necessary.
But there are one or two instances
where it is shown that the road is not
so sure of it's ground.
There is the case of Pitts and Mon
roe, lumber men. They wished cars
on a siding convenient to their plant.
The siding was there already, having
been in use since the days Of the old
c.. F. and Y. v. Road. since which
Greensboro has been without railroad
competition. The railroad replied that
they desired to use the siding for the
use of passenger cars on the Raleigh
and Mount Airy trains, which could
possibly occupy the track for only a
few hours of the day. Messrs. Pitts
and Monroe were rendered the regular
contract to sign. They refused and
sought a lawyer. The lawyer advised
them that the side track was on the
right of way of the North Carolina
road, but that it could be
used only for the purposes

marts of the world cotton manufac-
tured goods. But what was needed
more than anything else was the
guarding of the trade already estab-
lished in the Orient and which now
seemed to be threatened with dire dis
aster on account of the present laws
prevailing in this country. Further
commencing the President, Mr.. Erwin
said he was a man who had a way OF
doing things, "and," he added, amid
more applause, "he is our President
of South, as well as of the North, or
the East or the West, and to him we
are looking for help"
A number of delegates interrupted
and expressed thei willingness to
leave the solution of the question in
the Presidents hands.
The Erwin Resolution.
Several other members protested
that the paramount question in the
South. that of cotton had been totally
neglected by the parliament. j. E..
Brown, of North Carolina, insisted that
some system should be devised by
which the values of cotton should be
made stable. The resolutions report
ed by the committee on resolutions
were not read, but the Erwin resolu-
tion was as follows:
Resolved, That this industrial par

FRANK G0TcH NOT

San Francisco, Jan 26.--If Frank Gotch, wrestling champion, is sincere iL his desire to enter the ring and en. gage the best heavyweights in the country, he will have to show better form than he did in one or two occa. sions when he fought for small purses in Alaska. "Biddy" Bishop who in. vaded Alaska with his well known niddleweight, Billy Woods. says that when the wrestling game became quiet Gotch tried the fighting business. Fron. all accounts he was a decided frost
 'The old timers up there told me that as soon as Gotch got stiff punch in the face he would get mad and start to wrestle or quit" said Bishop. "In Dawson they wouldn't bet counterfeit money on him, and they say he didn't know the first thing about boxing l heard many speak in glowing terms of him as a great wrestler, but I doubr that he would ever be good enough for q match with any of our first-clasA fighters"

DON'T RECOGNIZE DEFEAT.

After 12.OOO of Napoleon's soldiers had been overwhelmed by the advance of 15,OOO Austrian troops, he addressed them thus: II am displeased with you. You have evinced neither discipline nor valOr. You have allowed yourselves to be driven from positions where hand full of resOlute men might have arrest ed an army. You are no longer French soldiers. Chief of staff. cause 1t to be | written on their standards, They are no longer of the army of Italy.'"
 In tears the battered veterans re- piled: I've have been misrepresented. The soldiers of the enemy were three to one. Try Us once more. Place us in the post of danger. and see if we do not belong 10 the army of Italy" In the next battle they were placed in the van, and they made good their pledge by rolling back the great Austrian army.
 He is pretty poor sort of man who loses courage and fears to face the world just because he has made mis- take or slip somewhere. because his business has failed. because his prop crty has been swept away by some general disaster. or because of other trouble impossible for him to avert.
 This is the test of your manhood: {: how much is there left in you after yoG have lo.. eyecyth!ng oat4iGe cr sIurseiii!
