The remainder of the forces save those
with Vanc made a hasty retreat
across the two bridges, which, after
crossing, they burned. They then,
after burning what military supplies
they could not carry, and a few
houses, set out for Kinston. Their
own. cavalry behind them was report
ed to be that Of the enemy. This
caused a panic and many of the sol
diers cache Kinston several hours
earlier than they would ordinarily
have done.
Vance and the section Of Brem's
battery with him were holly engaged
from $50 in the morning until the
order to retreat was given. Owing to
the distance he was removed from the
other part of the forces, the order
reached him only alter the other regi-
ments had retreated. Had the bridges
not been burned the Federals could
have reached them ahead of him. He
Therefore retreated to a place up the
Trent river, where he secured a few
small boats and with much difficulty
succeeded in getting his men across,

SKOWHEG BOY
FROM LONDON
Don Morrison Promin-
ent in Musical Circles
He viii Be in New York During the
Coming Winter With DIR. Sears.

After spending a winter in the Eng
fish capital, Don Morrison says that
the thing about London that Impress
ed him the most was the number and
abject poverty of the beggars on the
street corner. To him the words Sub
merged tenth" have come to mean a
great deal more than a hackneyed
phrase Mr.. Morrison says that Eng
land has come to take the Votes for
Women movement very seriously,
and is inclined to think that the suf-
fragettes will, in the end prevail. The
agitators are pressing their views on
all possible occasions, and making
converts by a process that is sure If
slow. Few women in America APP
preciate the legal handicaps which
Cypress their sisters of England.
Mr.. Morrison went to London last
fall to take charge of the musical
programs in connection with series
of New Thought" lectures given by
Dr.. Julia Seton Sears in Bechstein
hall. The formal lectures were Civ
en- on Sunday, morning and evening.
Tuesday afternoons there were must
cal matinees, and once each month a
recital at the house on Marloes Road.
The six Americans in the party leas-
ed this private house for the season,
and were thus able to maintain an
atmosphere approximating that at
home.
For the coming winter Mr.. Morri-
son will be similarly associated with
DR.. Sears, who will lecture in the
New York theatre. While In London
he improved the opportunity to study
with Emile Sauret of the Royal Acad-
envy, under whom he made substantial
progress. The coming engagement in
New York will put Mr.. Morrison In
close touch with the higher circles of
the metropolitan musical world, and
his friends at home look to his flu
ture with the utmost confidence.
