e.. Wins Distinction.

Capt. j.. w. Wrenn, formerly of
Raleigh. has the distinction of being
the oldest conductor in service on the
whole system of the SeabOard Air Line

rated the wearing by its passenger

years of service on that system. One
bar denotes five years service. and

ing served with eminent satisfaction

SUMMER SCHOOL
Want of Place For Class
es and Boarders May
Defeat Project.

1t is possible that Raleigh may not
have a summer school this year. AL
though the money required for the
one proposed at A. and NJ. College was
quickly subscribed, yet there were
difficulties at the college itself,
which defeated the enterprise.
Several enthusiastic and loyal ed
ucators, upon the announcement that
the school would not be held at the
college, proposed to arrange for the
holding of one in some institution IN
the city. This plan placed the re-
sponsibility of the school entirely
upon those who were to conduct it,
and no advances to the charitable
public for assistance would be made.
All was arranged, almost perfected,
when the promoters struck the one
difficulty which seems inSurmounta-
BILE. They will not be allowed
place to hold the school, and the
young ladies can neither stop at the
hotel nor live in the streets, and the
classes cannot be taught in the open
under either the rain storm or warm
sun.
Some of the gentlemen interested
are very much disappointed, and re-
greet that there is less patriotism
manifested for the summer school
than should be.
There is still some time, however,
a few days-in which those interested
may reach a final determination, and
this will probably be done ere the
week ends. If it is decided to hold
the school, or rather if some institu-
ton in the city will permit the utili-
zation of it's buildings, in which case
the school would be held, the dates
for the session would probably be
July 5 to August Is.

TYER RoAsTs DIXON.
Calls His Lecture High-handed Utter
anceS of Infidelity.

Rev. Frank Dixon lectured in Ellz-
abeth City recently on THE Moss
back" and on Sunday Rev. A. +. Iyer,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
replied to certain statements in the
lecture. From the Economist these
extracts are taken:
my Tyer's first quotation from the
lecture was in reference to what Mr..
Dixon said concerning that he would
not have to listen to a minister reg
ularly for his salary" Mr.. Tyer said
that he did not know exactly what was
meant, but that the result was to dis
courage people from attending the re-
ligious services, whether he meant 1t
that way or not.
HE then quoted what Mr.. Dixon
said about using the rod in raising
children and in the school-room. He
gave Dixon credit for saying in this
consideration that mo person ever
used the rod on children unless they
were in anger, but some claim that
they did it in perfect GOODNESS of tenn
per and that such a person that would
inflict such cruelty on child in per-
feet GOODNESS, was a cold-blooded vii
liam" In answer to this Mr.. Tyer did
not agree with the deliverer of the
"Mossback." Along that line he said
that he believed it perfectly necessary
to adopt different methods of diScip-
line. and that according to Solomon's
teaching. the rod should be used at
times. He disagreed with him also in
the statement that everyone whipped
their children IN moments of anger.
He said; 81 have used the rod on
some of mine in, perfect GOODNESS of
temper and / do not consider myself
a cold blooded william"
''He also quoted Rev. Dixon in re-
ference to what he said further about
Solomon's writings, to the effect that
if he had his way. he would tear that
part out of the Bible, Mr.. Tyer said
in commenting on this that it was the
high handedest infidelity that has
ever been uttered in the Southland"
