FOR PRESIDENT OF THE AG-
RICULTURAL AND ME-
CHANICAL COLLESE.

About the 18th of July the
Trustees OF the Agricultural and
Mechanical College met in Raj
eigh to elect the officers and
professors for that institution.
a portion of this work is yet
unfinished. The day appointed
for the opening of the College
is October 3rd, but still it has
no President. Have we no men
i'll the State competent to fill
the place? If not, then we had
better abandon the College for
the time for 1t has not yet come.
What are the requisites for a
President AS we understand
it, he should be a man of wide
experience, fine culture. deep
learning and high administra-
tive ability. Now TILE CAUCA-
SIAN knows such a man. We re-
fer to Rev. J. J.. Stewart, of
Clinton, n. c., than whom there
is no one, within our knowledge,
better equipped for the head of
our Agricultural College. Mr..
Stewart is graduate and trus-
tee of the University, he is one
of the best lawyers in the State,
an eminent minister of the gos-
pei and a. large and successful
tarmer,-in fact his whole life
has been q success and nothing
less than q complete success
could our new College bel under
such wise, cautious ana pro-
gfessive administration III he

he was riding near IA ball

The toe panied him very

must have it taken off. The
man would not consent to that.
So he went on to city doctor,
who told him that he must

at last into his body. and he
was dying amidst great distress.

trip to Fayetteville by the
"ShOrt Cut" road. We were
surprised and distressed at the
lamentable appearance Of the
crops along the line of the W.
& w. road from Warsaw to Will
son. Cotton in many places is
nOS more than from six to ten
inches high, and corn a spind-
ling stalk, with little or no ear
a mere shadow of what it might
have beeu. If, before seeing
for ourself, a. reporter of a
northern per had passed down
the road through this section
and written up the condition of
the crops, as they really are. we
would have pronounced it a
falsehood and a slander to North
Carolina. But the crops along
the road do not by am means
represent. the crops OF this sec
tion, much less of the State. In
Sampson there have seldom
been better corn crops than
will be raised this year, and the
cotton will be fair. However,
as we pass down the line from
Wilson to Fayetteville, the ag-
ricultural prospects begin to
brighten. At Dunn, where there
is a fine soil, the crops are fine,
in fact, remind US very much of
home. Our friend, Rev. r. A.
johnson, tells us that many of the
farmers in that section and fur
ther up in Harnett will harvest
the finest crops for many years.
By the way, this is the first time
we have ever been to l:unn and
were pleased to find it a much
larger, thriftier, and prettier
town than we had anticipated.
The long rows of new stores and
dwellings, tastily dressed with
new, neat coats of paint, i'm
press the visitor with the fact
that he is in a live, progressive
town, the growth of which has
just begun, relatively speaking
The houses are being built
faster than the trees can be cut
and the debris removed. Well
may it be called the "City of
the Woods" We were pleased
to see Attorney Frank Jones,
formerly of Clinton, and Mer-
chant -J.E. Underwood, formerly
a school-mate of ours. during
the few moments the train stop

Next we are in the hospitable
and historic old city of Fayette-
vile, where the State Alliance
is in session, an outline of the
proceedings will be found in
another column.
We had the pleasure of shak-
ing hands with the following
Sampsonians, most Of whom are
attending the session of the
Alliance, Messrs. T. n. Culbreth,

tives of this county.
The number of new enter
rrises started in Fayetteville
during the last year entitle it
to rank as one of the most pro-
gressive and enterprising towns
of the State. We would be glad
to tell our readers something
about these enterprises, and es-
lpecially of the canning factory,
which is using over 1000 cans
per week, with fruit pouring in
in abundance, but space forbids

PRESIDENT MACUNE.
The National President Address
ses the Delegates at Fayette-
Vile With Powerful Logic.


c. w. Macune, President of
the Farmers National Alliance,
and editor of the National Econ
omist Washington, ID. CD was
present during a part of the
session of the State Alliance at
Fayetteville. He is Il young
man about 32 years of age), with
dark skin, raven black hair and
mOustac he of stout build, about
8 feet and IL inches in height,
weighing about 100 pounds, and
altogether az handsome a man
as one would see in many a day.
His massive head, quick eye and
frank, open countenance at once
impress you that he is wise
statesman and a born leader of
men. He cid not make speech,
III the common acceptance of
the term, but plain talk, as he
styled it, to the brethren. But
plain talk as it was, it took a
good listener and a thoughtful
mind to "take in" the full pur-
port Of the deep and powerful
logic, the comprehensive and
far-reaching arguments in which
it abounded. In short, it was
one of the most statesman-like
and patriotic speeches we have
ever heard. We regret that we
have not a stenographic report.
50 must be content to give our
readers a few of the leading
points.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-08-22

points.
President Macune started out
with the paradoxical statement
that the Alliance could never
fail and could never succeed.
He showed it could not fail by
expounding the principles that
lie at the foundation Of the or
der, he showed that it could not
completely succeed because
its ultimate objects and aims
were so exalted and elevating
that they would forever stand
as the Ultima Thade Of human
progress. He explained the
forces that brought the Alliance
into existence and the force it,
in turn, would exert. He said
that organization was the result
OF material progress, and there
fore class organization is an i'm
portant factor in modern gov
eminent. This organization is
the decree of material progress
and the result of dire necessity,
and will henceforth be Itself
the mightiest force i'll material
progress. Yes, it exists and
will continue to exist, but no.
body knows the precise or ulti-
mate objects of the order, or the
means by which these objects
will be accomplished. The Or
der stands watching tn. indica-
tions Of the times and ready to
do whatever humanity needs TO
be done.
The interests of the farmer
should be everybody's interest
for upon the success of this
class Of people depends the sue
cess Of our government and the
healthy growth and progress of
the country. Therefore, when
it is found at any time that the
interests of any class Of people
conflict with our interest, then
the interests of that class are
bad and should find no place in
our national economy.
The interests Of the Railroads
do not in theory and should no;
in fact conflict with our interes-
is and their interests could not
conflict with our interests it
the officers and. managers OF
these corporations had sense
enough to see the trne situation
They do US injustice by using
discrimination and by charging
high rates. They are never
forced to cut rates at a terminal
point that they do not raise
them at intermediate points
This draws from the county
and small towns to build up
large towns and cities.
| IA case in point here is the
rates charged the delegates tC
this very convention. A dele
gate at Mt. Olive paid 1915 fol
a ticket. A delegate at Colds
boro paid $2.4O. A delegate
living in Fremont rode in his
buggy to Goldsboro to buy a
ticket rather than pay the
difference. The same difference
is made in freights. In the
face of these facts who dares
say that tie demand for a
commission is-not prompted
by sense of common justice
Ed
He next discussed the doctrine
of socialism and pointed oul
the fallacies into which many
writes of political economy
have fallen.
| He next discussed the rela tive
merits Ind dement's of com
pc tition and organization from
an economic standpoint and the
respective results of these two
farces upon the farming class

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Detective Lazarus and Warden Wright
Probe n Murder Plot.

Detective Lnzarus and Warden Wright
Probe a Murder Plot.
ESPECIAL TRLEcRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
ROCHESTER,, PA, October Sl.-Some two
months ago a party of tramps who had taken
refuge in an old shanty in the woods back OF
Beaver Falls, quarreled during the night Pts
tol shots were heard and one of the tramps
came into town after the doctor. He stated
that a man had been hurt. When the physi-
clan arrived at the place the man was dead.
The body was brought to town and every effort
made to have it identified, the gem
eral opinion being that the mans
name was William Spencer, of McKeesport,
Pa. Shortly after the remains were inferred
gentleman passing by the cemetery one night
noticed persons working st the grave. Inc
next day an examination was made and the
corpse was found headless. This created quite
a stir, but the matter was soon forgotten. A
few days ago the case was privately placed IN
the hands of Detective Lazarus, who now
claims TO have the murderers safely locked up,
but refuses to give any further particulars.
Mr.. Lazarus was assisted by Warden WrlgnL
of the Allegheny Penitentary. They have sew
eral letters in their possession which are sup
posed to have passed between the guilty parties,
in which reference is made to the decapitation
as being good thing to prevent identification
The letter was written by Fred Brown, which is
an alias to Charles Bradley. Brown is now serv-
ing a term IN the penitentiary, having Just been
sent there from Butler county.
