Prof. B. C. Mclver, the super
intendent" elect of ihe Graded
School, was here last week. We
were glad to meet him, and to
see the deep interest he takes in
education. The school opens on
the 16th of September.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Thomson
and their daughter Mrs. M. J.
Pemborton are spending the
summer in their mountain home
at Blowing Rock.
A great many people through
out the State look upon Dr. W,
C. McDifiie, of this city, as
the man to succeed Dr. Grissom,
as superintendent of the Insane
Asylum. Dr. McDuffie is an ex
President of tho North Carolina
Medical Society, and is one of
the most highly cultured and
brainy physicians in the State.
He has a reputation, superior to
most any, for the treatment ot
insanity. Here inJiis own home
he is loved for his kindly and
sympathetic nature, his genial
manners and towering intellect,
and well-known ability as a phy
sician. His election would in
sure the best and most humane
treatment for the afflicted and
reflect honor and fame upon out
State.
