Institute Items.
The institute for teachers was called
to order at 2 o'clock this evening by
M. 11. Russell and E. C, Branson, the
talented expert,gave a very fine lecture
on orthography. Showed very plainly
that our present text books on orthog
raphy contained too many words to
suit the wants of pupils. Recommended
the teaching of those words only,which ■
the students has an every day need for.
Recommended short lessons copiously
interspersed with quizzes.
CTuesday,June IS. —The institute was
opened with song and prayer; after
which I’i'of. Branson began his lecture
by pointing out a few of the faults in
teaching - reading. Prominent among
the diffi rei.l mistakes mentioned were:
Reading m:.lie: unsuited. The study
considered of little importance. Too
much routine reading with not enough
dictations for seat work, and quzzes
for meanings.
June 19. —Institute opened this morn
ing at 9 o'clock in the usual way, with
music and prayer. Mr. Branson
then began to lecture the teach
ers on the subject of language
and grammar. And 1 hope it is not
out of place to offer some comments.
Several teachers claimed it to be the |
finest lecture they had ever heard; The |
teachers are discussing penmanship
this evening.
Carrollton, Ga., June 20.—Insti
tute called to order as usual. Profes
sor Branson lectured on arithmetic
this morning. What to teach in arith
metic, and what to omit. This eve
ning and tomorrow he will lecture on
Geography and History. State school
commissioner Glenn is expected this
evening or tomorrow.
The mornings are devoted to lectur
ing white teachers in the court room,
while the evenings are devoted to the
colored teachers in Mr. Russell’s office.
It is hoped that much and lasting good
may be derived from those confer
ences.
A Few Pertinent liemnrkr.
I heard a man say once, that he had j
a perso i in Carrollton to compete with
any other from any Wiieee.in anything.
lam not an expert myself, but I have
heard those talk, who at least have had
good opportunities for knowing and
they say that Miss Pauline Brown has
as f n a voice and sings as well as
almost any of them. I watched her
closely last Sunday while singing aso
lo (I recon it was) and she sang it “too
utterly beautiful lor anything* as the
dude would say. There was no strain,
no unnatural, swelling of the face, or,
heaving of the chest or the dying calf
ike rolling of the eyes, but just like
pm unconcerned person would sing a
common song for their own amusement
She sang the piece equal to any lady
that 1 ever heard on the stage or else- I
where. With the proper culture and ;
training she will be heard of tn future ■
way up n the demini semi quivers of
singing jurisprudence. She will rival
any Sweedish nightengale. Abbot o r
anybody else, in reality if not in repu
tation, I say hurrah for Carrollton, she
is our girl, and we feel prowd of her.

A rather amusing argument occurred
the other day between some young
men over the superiority of the singing
of two ■ '1 our young ladies, so one final-
I lv proposed to leave it to inc to decide,
■ I told them that 1 had never had the
pleasu: of hearing, but one of them
and could not decide the question,
when t a all the rest of the crowd but
two Wore in the same fix.

From the Messenger, Wilmington, N. C.
The following letter from George Russell,
a citizen of Laurinburg, N. C., will prove ]
I of interest to many of our readers who may !
] be suffering from - that dreaded disease— ;
] rheumatism.
I Laurinburg, N. C., April, 3,1895.
] Dr. Williams’Medicine Company, Schen
, ectady. N. Y.
■ Ge/iZ/rßioi During the summer of 1888
1 I had a severe attack of typhoid fever which
left my constitution in a wrecked and
: broken down;.condition. Ever afterwards I
had to be vary careful not to get the least
] damp for if I did an attack of rheumatism
l would be the result. 1 was able, however,
; to attend to business the most of my time
though I could never say that 1 was well. I
continued this way till the summer of 1894
, when I was taken with a more severe attack
j of rheumatism which commenced first in
i the back of my head and neck, then my
shoulders became involved. I suffered un
j told agonies, could not rest day or night, I
could get in no position that would give me
! rest’even for a few moments, could not
| sleep more than 15 minutesatany one time, ]
i had no appetite, my flesh was reduced till I
weighed only 121 ibs. The disease moved
down or rather spread to the small of the
back and into both hips then to the left
knee joint. I could not walk up the door
steps, but had to crawl out and into the
house. About this time I was taken with a
shortness of breath which one doctor pro- .
nounced heart dropsy, another an excess of
water in the Ichest. I gave up all hopes of 1
ever getting any better or even living for I
1 more than aifew months. I wrote many of | .
j my relations that I did not expect to live I
] but a very sh'irr. time. Os course I had been
under rhe' <>f men whocalled themselves i
! good doctors'all this time, 1 had six of them ;
, to attend me during my sickness. I tried ]
everything that I could get that was said to
benefit people who had rheumatism but in
stead of getting relief 1 continued to grow
worse. One day a friend came to visit me
and like all other friends had a remedy for
my ills. Her remedy was Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People. She showed
me a paper which praised them very high
ly. I tolil her that J had no faith in them
and as for the advertisement in the paper, it
was nothing but mere bosh, But like a
drowning man that will catch at a straw I
concluded to try the pills I commenced to
get better from the first day. -1 took six
boxes and am well, my appetite is good, I
sleep well, have gained in flesh from 121 lbs
to 160 lbs. I have been in the rain till I was
literally drenched without experiencing any
annoyance afterwards. I can run, jump,
hop and skip equal to a sixteen-year-old boy.
Any one doubting this statement ean be
satisfied by writing me.
Yours truly,
GEORGE RUSSELL.
Mr. George Russell has, this day appeared
in person before me a Justice of the Peace
l for Richmond County, N. C., and made oath
that the statement contained in this manu- <
script is true in every particular. Sworn to <
before me this 13th day of April, 1895. ;
M. K. Jones, J. P.
