The governor of the Gold coast made a
visiting tour among the native chiefs in
his district to learn their desires of the
government. The king of Pram Pram
wanted to revive an old custom. of which
a part required the elimination of the
dead; the people of Quetta wanted the
tax on spirits reduced from a shilling to
sixpence; Addah wanted q reduction of
the rum tax, a road to the beach, a school,
a bell to mark the time, and a free ferry
across the Valta river and increased sala

and Akropong each begged for a pair of
handouts and a lamp. There are signs OF

A wall of crumbling stones doth keep
Watch DER long barrows where they sleep,
Old chronicled grave stones of its dead,
On which oblivious moses creep,
And lichens gray as lead
Warm days the lost cow as they pass
Rest here and browse the juicy grass
That springs about its sun scorched stones;
Affair one hears their bells deep brass
Watt melancholy tones.
Here the wild morning glory goes
A-rambling as the myrtle grows,
Wild morning glories, pale as pain,
With holy urns that hint at woes,
The night hath filed with rain.
Here are blackberries largest seen,
Rich, why dark, whereon the lean
Black hornet sucks, moons sick with heat,
That bend not to the Swallowed green
The heavy bearded wheat.
At dark, for its forgotten dead,
A requiem of no known wind said.
Through ghostly cedars means and throbs.
While TO thin starlight overhead
The shivering screech owl sobs.

girls attend Scotia as oil the other
schools combined. They are not all
Presbyterian girls, but many of them
become Presbytcrians afterwards.
Many Methodist parents send their
daughters to Scotia because they do
not believe in the co-education Of the
sexes. There is difference of opin-
ion on this question, and while we
may not discuss it here, We do not
hesitate to say that it is fact that
many of our best men think that way
and many of our best girls are getting
away from us because we win not sec
the facts as they are.
The one fact that the white people
with their great advantages Of home
training and race pride, have but few
mixed high schools, is evidence to US
that it is not we'll for us in the face of
our undisciplined mixed society As
race wcsheed all the safeguards we
can possibly have thrown around US.
Separate schools are not only safer,
but better and cheaper. A girl has
more time TO study and less to spend
in writing notes and in socials, when
she is at separate school. 1t does
not take so much to dress a girl nor a
young man at a separate school. We
will not discuss the matter here, but

CHURCH SCHOOLS.

A church, like race of people,
should not be content till its institu-
tions and general conditions are as
near equal the best as is reasonable to
hope for. One church should not
depend upon another any more than
one man on another. Taking this
view Of the matter, nearly all the
different denominations in this State
have church schools The Baptists
have Shaw University at Raleigh; the
Presbyterians, Biddle University at
Charlotte for boys, and Scotia Semi
nary for girls. at Concord; the Epis-
copalians, ST. Augustine at Raleigh;

DOCKERY's CHANCES.

Dockery's chances for election are
brighter than any republicans has
been in this State since 1872 So far
as the votes being cast is concerned he
is all right. He will have %, 600
votes to spare and ifho is not declared
Governor, We have the worst lot of
thieves and ballot box robbers in
the country We do not believe
that. We believe the honest white
men of North Carolina will see to it
that the choice of the people as ex-
pressed by their votes on election day
shall be properly registered. We do
not believe that the honest white
men who vote for Dockery themselves
will abandon the fight until the votes
are properly counted and properly re-
corded
In all the papers, in all our CORE
spondence and in all our travels We
find a great uprising for Dockery. He
is personally strong with the people.
He is running against an unpopular
and weak man in his own party, and
if every republican will go to the polls
and vote for Dockery he will surely be
elected. The white men of central
North Carolina are about equally
divided between Dockery ane Fowle
and democrats vote for Fowle simply
because he is the party nominee.
They abused him roundly before he
was nominated. Fowlc's connection
with the Raleigh bank and the special
tax bonds and other matters the people
of Charlotte know of makes him weak
and unpopular. Dockery will be
elected.

goes--but it doesn't so far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-

than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
