Charles Elliott Norton, the noted American Dante scholar rfhd man of letters. Announcement is made by President Kilgo of a gift to Trinity College of one thousand dollars by Miss Anne Roney, of Durham, for the purchase of books. This money will be expended in the purchase of a special collection of books on some suoject, and will be known as the Anne Roney Collection.

A gift like this for the buying of books is one of the most valuable gifts a college can receive, and it is accordingly very highly prized. Sam Vick, the negro postmaster at Wilson, has been nominated for Congress by the anti-Pritchard negroes of the Second District. This means that Vick will soon be succeeded as postmaster at Wilson by a white man. He is the last negro postmaster in the State (except at two exclusively negro villages) and his present term has already expired, I believe, there being some delay in selecting his successor. It is understood that Senator Pritchard will not recommend Vick, nor will he approve of the" appointment of any "colored postmaster.

On November 11th the State Board of Pharmacy will meet in Raleigh. The annual meeting of the State Confederate Veterans1 Association is called by President J. S.

Tonight "Lord Stratiimore," with Virginia Drew Trescott as the star, is the enticing bill, while on Friday night, 24th, one of the season's best offerings, "A Wise. Woman," with Marie Lamour as leading lady, ought to pack the. theatre. Many out-of-town people are learning to attend many of the Academy's fine performances, and the opportunity will be presented every week this fall and winter. This is the last week of registration and if you don't get your name on the new books by Saturday night you can't vote next "month no matter who you are.

Complaints of the unauthorized and illegal conduct of registrars who refuse registration to negroes entitled to vote under the amendment, by raising petty objections of various kinds, continue to come in notwithstanding Chairman Simmons' very plain and positive letter of instructions issued wo weeks ago. One negro was refused because he failed to place a hyphen in a compound word, and other objections on a par with this are detailed in the complaints. The annual session of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina is being held at Winston-Salem this week. Mr. Fries says his mill merger arrangements will be completed in ten days, but only fifty mills will be included in the combine at the start, it seems, some which desired to do so being rejected.

Crane himself entirely blameless for the present condition of affairs. A special dis patch from Boston to the Atlanta Constitution, under date of October 18tb, says the citizens ofGreater Boston are so aroused over the numerous assaults eommittea on white women by negroes -that in Somerville, a vigilance committee has been formed and will try to do what the police of that city, Cambridge and Brookline have not Iteen able to do. The dispatch says that so many of these assaults have been committed that a reign of terror exists now among the women of these places, and few are willing to venture out after dark unless accompanied by a male escort. The latest case, that of Mrs. Eldred, of Brookline, has aroused especially indignation among the citizens, as the negro, after being foiled in his attempt, returned to the house and threatened the woman's life.

The incompetency of the police for: denounced unsparingly, and there is talk of emulating Somerville forming a vigilance committee. Since Governor Crane proposes to make his State the refuge of negro criminals the people of Massachusetts must take the consequences. Out of Death's Jaws.

The Landmark in its last issue ex pressed the opinion that by the agreement of tlie American and imperial Tobacco Companies to coin-promise their differences and discontinue their war on each other, the result would Ik? a drop in tlie prices of leaf, as these two rival concerns would have an understanding as to the price to be paid, which would not exceed a certain figure.

A Statesville manufacturer says this is not probable for the reason that the demand for tobacco is greater than the supply, which has been limited in recent years, and these conditions will necessarily, for a time at least, keep up the price of leaf. This hopeful view of the situation is, we are glad to find, shared by tobacco men generally. A special from Washington to the Raleigh Post thus quotes Col. John S. Cunningham, of I'erson county, who is an aut honey in the tobacco world: Col.

John S. Cunningham, of I'erson county, the largest tobacco planter in the world and president of the iortu Carolina tobacco Association, who was in Washington today, takes an optimistic view of the tobacco situation despite the fact that the great tobacco manufacturers have merged their interests. It is the opinion of Gol. Cunningham that the new trust cannot afford to lower the price of tobacco and he does not believe that such an occurrence will result. Col.

Cunningham said: "The growers of tobacco in the tobacco producing States are apprehensive lest the prices will be reduced now that the American Tobacco Company and its English rival will destroy competition to some extent. I firmly believe the present good prices that the leaf commands will continue. I take an optimistic view of tlie situation, notwithstanding the apprehension that exists in some quarters. There are many reasons that influence metotakethis view. The consumption of tobacco is larger today in the United States and foreign countries than at any previous time in the history of the market.

The present short crop will be an influencing factor in maintenance of present high prices. Again the reduction of the tax on tobacco is in favor of the continuance of present We are glad to print these encouraging views of the situation. It is cheering news to tobacco growers.

Waihinnton Post. "The independent movement in North Carolina," said the Hon. F. M. Simmons, United States Senator from that State at the Riggs house, "will not prove a success.

It is hardly anything more than the old coalition of the force that are always arrayed against the democracy, aided here and there by some disgruntled democrat. The opposition, knowing it could not win on the old lines, imagined that by appealing to the people under the guise of a so-called independent organization, the voters may be induced to turn their backs on the Democratic party. It was the voice of he siren, but it falls on deaf ears and North Carolina will stand loyally democratic. The attempt to make the people believe that their salvation lies in a high tariff, which is the chief progrmme of tlie independents, is likewise futile, for if there is a State in the union tliat is thoroughly com-mitteed to the idea of a tariff for revenue, that State is North Caro. lina." i Mther Cray's Sweet Pwera for Children, Successfully used by Mother Gray, noise in the Children's liome in Mew York, Cure Fererishness, llad Stomaeh, Teething Disorders, move and rejrulate the Bowels and Destroy Worms.

He did his best. But he failed miserably. Baer and his fellow mine owners and railroad presidents treated the President of the United States with arrogance and insolence and prated of their divine rights. Governor Odell and Senator Piatt tried their hands and were snublKnl as "politicians" and were told that the Government was only good to send troops and to hurry them up, too, and le quick about it. Then David B.

Hill put a plank in tlie Democratic platform of New York demanding Government ownership of the coal mines. Soon after 4.0Q0 school children were dismissed from school in Syracuse lecause they could not keep warm. It was known that this was to be followed by every school in the State. It Itecamo evident in every direction that the people did not intend to freeze in order to aid a few millionaires to starve their miners into subjection. Tlie Kublic was getting its temper up.

ew York State would have given several hundred thousand majority in favor of the demand for Government ownership. Pennsylvania, Ohio and other States would have followed. Pierpont Morgan, on his return from Europe, had falsely said he had no control over the matter and declined to aid Mr. Roosevelt. But Morgan was not mislead by his flatterers and fawners as other millionaires were.

He saw the storm coming and knew that ho power 6u earth could face the American people when they are indignant and determined. Ile'knew that before their power Morgan and all his wealth and all the millionaires and all their wealth was as a pine tree stripped of its limbs and leaves by a cyclone. He hastened to Washington and the strike was settled on the terms dictated by Mr. Mitchell." The strike was settled by the irresistible power of Public Opinion. Mitchell deserves credit for holding out, and Senator Hill for his bold appeal to the power of the people.

It is hardly probable that the American people will risk another attempt by the millionaires to freeze thorn in order to force the miners. Bat, whatever the future and permanent settlement of the question whether it is Government or State ownership of the mines, or Government control (which must be more efficient than Government control of railroads has been) whatever the permanent adjustment shall be, organized and irresponsible bonded capital has been taught a fine lesson which they did not Know and will not soon forget and that is that while the people are slow to wrath and hard to rouse, yet they can be roused and Trhen roused the man is master and not the dollar.

R. B. Glasgow, editor of the Burlington, X. Gazette, ami Mr. George W.

Anthony, of the same town, whose visit to Burlington, X. was mentioned in these columns last week, passed through Friday on their return trip home. They re ported having had a very pleasant visit and were delighted with their impressions and entertainment in the Old North State. They reached home Saturday and in the Monday's Gazette Editor Glasgow gives the fol lowing brief account of their trip: Our visit to the "Old North State" was opportunly timed, the air being balmy, and the sky cloudless. A thin haze covered the far off mountain tops and tlie Hunter's Moon turned the niirht into day.

The County Fair and a red-hot political canvass were on and thus we came in contact with lots of men, who all gave us the glad hand and bade us welcome. Here it is proper to note we did not fail to observe tlie modesty, industry and affability of the North Carolina ladies. The story of the new South is brief. Here it is: Thirty-five years ago the people of that region were beggared. The fields, forests, streams, mills and mines were there, but the people had no money.

So they made a virtue of stern necessity and went to work and today many of the people then jienniless count their wealth by the thousand; some by the tens of thousands and a few by tlie hundred thousand. This is the story of the new South and the game is young yet. As to tlie negro problem it is timely to notejthere never was such thing, so far as the old stock were concerned that is those who stood by and cared for the folks while the old and young master were at" the front. But for the ''uppish young of this day, the Southern man has absolutely no use whatever. They simply can't together and the colored fellows are gettingout coming North largely, to Ixi handicaps in many cases on tlie bread-winner of that region.

The 1 1 end of thought of the Confederate "vets" toward their old enemies is wonderful to observe. When the Jersey Anthony was introduced to one Davis, who wears one of those patent legs, Davis remarked: "Well, 1 wouldn wonder a bit vou were the fellow who shot mv leg off," and then vou could hear 'em laugh for half a block. But it turned out Davis had another guess. Two very curious incidents in relation to the North Carolina Burling ton are worthy of special notice. It was named by a young lady who had gone to school in Burlington, probably Burlington, N.

and the great numlier of familiar names we heard there. Here is a few of tjiem: Anthony, Albright, Bradshaw, Cook, Freeman, Irwin, Jeffries, Lewis, Long, McAdams. Mclean, Murray, Parker, Rogers, Thompson, and Wood. And doubtless there were others. By a very limited personal knowl edge and by word of mouth we had been advised of the hospitality of the Southern ieople, but we now know the half was not told us.

This characteristic is so marked it occurs to us it can be none other than the literal observance of the Apostle's advice, or the natural evolution of Tennyson's beautiful thought: "Kind hearts are more than coro nets." The outlook for the South is verv rosy. Considering what twenty-five ynars have done, it is easy to read the handwriting on the wall. 1 guarantee ifoberta' Tonic to cure Chills, Fevers, malaria, and restore lost appetite. 253. Try it.

W.W.Parker ABOUT NEGRO EDUCATION. Statesville Landmark. The recently referred to the growing sentiment, especially in the eastern part of the State, in favor of a constitutional amendment which will allow a division of the school taxes among the races in pro portion to the taxes paid by each. We had heard that this sentiment was very strong in Wayne and this is verified by the action of the recent Democratic convention of that county, which unanimously and enthusiastically adopted a resolution favoring the proposition. Wayne's action is of more than usual interest from the fact that Wayne is Gov.

Aycock's home county and the Governor, in his educational campaign, boldly declares himself in favor of negro'edu-catiori. Additional evidence of the growth of this sentiment is also shown in the declaration of Mr. C. B. Watson, candidate for United States Senator, when he opened his campaign at Henderson.

Mr. Watson is quoted us suying tjiat "if the Supreme Court dwides as law that it is unconstitutional for white men to raise taxes to educate their children exclusively, then 1 favor a change in that constitution." and this statement, we are told, met with "the wildest applause."

Thousands of our people, from Wilmington to Asheville, are now making preparations for the trip to Raleigh, and felicitating themselves with pleasurable recollections and anticipations on the advent of another of those annually recurring social reunions, when they meet so many of their old friends and relatives and form new ties of pleasant and lasting friendships, "Meet me on the grounds of the great State Fair" is an old invitation voiced this year with more fervor and meaning than usual for this is the fiftieth, or semi-centennial, anniversary of the Fair, and the management sav it is to be the best one In the history of the North Carolina Agricultural Society.

Senator Simmons is being favor ably regarded by national leaders at Washington for the position of Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, vice Senator J. K. Jones, of Arkansas, who has been defeated in his fight for re-election to the Sen ate, and whose unsuccessful cam paignsof 1890 and 1900, which re sulted so disastrously to the Demo cratic party and the defeat of Brvan, did not add to his reputation as a party manager.

Senator Pritchard spoke sit Tar boro last Thursday, the date set for Hon. C. B. Watson, who also spoke there. Mr.

1'ritchard's challenge for a joint debate not being accepted, the two Senatorial candidates did not meet, Senator Pritchard speak ing in the morning and Mr. Watson in the afternoon. The press dispatches stated that least 300 to 400 people attended to each speaker," and that "our people gave Senator Pritchard a very attentive and respectful hearing, for which he thanked them. Congressman Kitch in also spoke at the Watson meet ing. Hon.

Lee S. Overman is "shelling the woods" in the East still, speak ing at Goldsboro, Kinston and La Grange on Thursday, Inday and Saturday. "Bob" Glenn, who is "at Monroe tonight, spoke in Raleigh one night last week to an audience of less than 200 people, including a number of ladies and yet he is, by all odds, one of the finest "stump speakers" in North Carolina, as well as a nne orator on any occasion. Governor Aycock and Senator Simmons are billed to speak at Shelby next Saturday, 25th. Mr.

Craig seems to have dropped out of the canvass since his joint debate with Senator Pritchard closed, and General Carr, who has been out of the State for several weeks, has made no speeches as a Senatorial candidate Next Saturday is the last day of registration remember that. NEGRO POLITICAL CONFERENCE. The biggest political farce of the year occurred here last Thursday, when less than a dozen so-called negro "leaders" arrived in Raleigh to attend the more or less heralded "State Convention" of anti-Pritchard Republicans. Of course no convention could be held, with less than ten counties represented, but a sort of "conference is said to have taken place and a lengthy "address" was issued to the negro voters, this having a number of names affixed to it, all of which were prefixed by the regulation "Honorable" the "Hon." Scotland Harris, chairman; and the W.Harris, secretary; even placing the distinction'of "honorble" before their own names when signing the document. The "conference assumed the authority of appointing and naming a btate Committee, and adopted resolutions, the burden of one of which was a denunciation of Senator Pritchard for removing the negro postmasters of North Carolina, followed by tin appeal to President Roosevelt to "stav the hand" of Pritchard and prevent him from naming a white man to succeed Vick, the postmaster Wilson, the last negro postmaster in the State.

After dubbing themselves the "regular Re publican party, and authorizing their "State Committee" to 'Vonsoli date" with any anti-Pritchard white Republican that might show himself, the seance ended, and the small bunch of negro politicians (all of whom, I believe, have tasted more or less deeply of the sweets of public office) beat a retreat for their respective homes leaving a solitary sorehead here to hold the bag. They will not bo heart) from again, verv likely. There is no good reason why the Republican party or any other political party should be all white; there is every reason why neither of them should be all black, and the practical demand for the latter by these malcontents will not be endorsed by anybody except themselves, or a few others like them who are abnormally suffering the pangs of appetite for the public teat again, The Democrats do not and cannot ''endorse" them.
