TROOPS CALLED OUT.
About 9 o'clock Mayor Boyden called
upon the local military company, the
Rowan Rifles, for aid. They assembled
quickly, but were supplied only with
blank cartridges, having no orders
to shoot to kill. Fireman McLendon OF
Charlotte, a Southern Railway EN-
ploye, was shot in the stomach by a
bullet said to have been fired by a
member of the mob. He was fatally
wounded. Will Troutman, a negro
drayman, vas also seriously hurt al
about the same time. Both are said
to have been accidental, occasioned BY
shots fired by members of the mob
with the evident intention of brighten

A Rounded Education

Converse College Has Perfected a Beautifully Rounded Standard Of Artistic, Scientific and

It is not imagined at Converse that College Pedagogy resolves itself into the theory of least resistance. AL though particular pains are taken to educate every girl according to her tastes rather than athwart them, stiil instruction in science and mathematics is as painstakiAE and capable as any other.
 Mathematics hers rises to the inte- Rral calculus, and Jcience to organic chemistry. while in other departments are offered, for example thorough courses in economies, psychology. etc. all for the sake of breadth. recognix- ing the educated woman's cultured in- terest in all things human, yet cher lshing in constant remembrance the fact that a wOmans interest. a Wo- mans place In the world demands the Womanly education Jf women.

For instance. in art. and music. while the specially talented girl Is given fullest opportunity still each and every indt- vidual is taught to hear and see with that understanding which insures full interpretation and aDorssiation of mas terpieces.

CHANGE SCHOOL LAWS.
Board of Directors of Boys Industrial
 school Meets.

7
 Birmingham. Aug. Especial. )---At meeting of the Board of Directors Of the Boys Industrial Home today 1t was decided to make many changes in the rules and by-laws governing the working of the institution. The mat ter of appointments was threshed out behind closed doors.
 Every detail of the school was gone ever carefully with view of enlarging the scope of what is probably the only State institution in the United States managed exclusively by women.
 After the regular meeting of the Board. some of the members resolved themselves into a committee for the purpose of outlining what recommend- ations would be made to a general meeting of the Board to be held at the school in October This conference was behind closed doors in the direc- tors room in Steiner's bank and not even D. M. Weakley, Superintendent of the school was allowed to hear the proceedings
 During the interim between now and October all the proposed changes will be studied by the various directors, and at a general meeting the action of today's meeting vii be ratified as q whole. or after certain amendments may be offered. It Is expected that every member will be present at the October meeting. including the Gov ernor. Attorney General and Commis- sioner of Agriculture. who are ex-oficio members. The directorate Is compos- ad of the following ladies: Mrs. R. D. Johnston. of Birmingham; president; Mrs Erwin Craighead, of Mobile: vice. president; Mrs. A. w. Nelson. of Bir- minghanl. secretary: Mrs. T. q Bush. of Birmingham, treasurer; Mrs. Milton Humes. of Huntsville. Mrs. Charles Hen derson. of Troy, and Mrs. Thomas Owen. of Montgomery. All were present today except the last two named.
 Professor weakley said that there are now 112 pupils in the school. or all most the record number. 115. In view of the fact that most of the boys en- tering the home have had little train- Ing, the superintendent says he Is gratified with results of scholars who leava tho fnatituffon.
