night for ten days most earnestly and
zealously. Good has been accomplished
by his meeting, though the town has
not been moved as many desired. Those

A LIEUTENANT COVER NOR
NEEDED.

The Fayetteville Observer of this week
contains strong editorial upon the i'm
portance of electing Lieutenant Gov
ernor Of the State. II argues that it
would be unwise for the State to longer
be placed in the attitude of being mi
nus a Governor. 1t would require time
for the Secretary Of State to convene a
special session of the Senate and in the
interim the State would have no author
lied head. Concluding tho Observer says:
The same needs for President of the
Senate, or Lieutenant Governor, exist
to-day under the present circumstances
that existed when Governor Fowle was
elected and inaugurated. For instance,
1T US suppose that Governor
Holt be called away out of the
State-or prostrated with sickness, and
thus rendered unable and incompetent
to administer the important affairs of
his Office in the hour of some great
emergency what would be the result?
Where is the Lieutenant Governor to act
and assume the duties and functions OF
the Governor-in- chief on such occasions:
Indeed, no stronger argument could be
adduced for the election, without delay,
of successor to Governor Holt, as
President of the Senate, than the i'm
portance of Lieutenant Governor has
SO recently established.

Lottery Tickets Comirs. Into the Union
Must Bear Duty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 24.-The
lottery companies received bl ,ck eye in
the Treasury Department to-day, which
it is thought will have the effect of driv-
ing them cut of business. Having been
debarred from using the y. s. mail,
branches of lottery con- panies which
formerly did business in the United
States, have been establish, ed in Mexico.
Under the law printed matter from Mex
leo cannot be refused enti. ely and each
month lottery tickets have been pre-
along the Mexican frontier for an ad-
mission into the United States. They
have heretofore been admitted without
question, but assistant Secretary Spauld-
ing has hit upon a novel plan to prevent
their coming into this country He has
decided that there is no law t. prevent
lottery tickets from being admitted as
printed matter, but he iustruets the
Custom Officers to assess duty upon
them at the rate of 25 per cent. alva-
lorem of their face value under para
graph 423 schedule NJ OF the Mckinley
bill, which provides for this rate of duty
upon 'all printed matter not especially
provided for"
Tickets OF the value of ten dollars
| under this decision will have to pay
! 81. 50 customs dae. This high rate OF
du'y will, it is thought, practically pro
hibit their importation. Being debarred
from the nited States and Express Com
| panies and transportation lines, the lot
terry companies will fnd it difficult tc
dispose of their wares in the United
States. The case came i'll connection
with the importation of tickets of til.
Juarez Mexican lottery company.

A mis- IONARY EXHIBIT.

At the coming Worlds Fair it is pro-
pos I'D to include an exhibition of every
thing relating to missionary effort, do
mastic and foreign, throughout the world
by ali denominations, including 'idols"
plaster casts and Photographs Of idols,
work of missionary publishing houses,
and of the medical publishing houses,
and of the medical staff and industrial
schools. There would be the Peruvian
idols, idols of New Zealand. the head
ache idol of Alaska, the gods
of India and China, scenes of In
dian worship, Brahminism, Budd-
hism, ancestral Chinese worship, and
the work of city missions, with photo
graphs of the little waits saved from the
street. The Catholic Sisters of Mercy,
the Kings Daughters and similar organ
izatious, the foreign and domestic socie-
ties, the deaconnesses and Episcopal
sisterhoods work could illustrate their
methods. The non-denominational work
of the Hebrew Daughters, who carry out
the law of love to God and man, the
work of women in the harems of Turkey
and the zsnanas of India and China
could be shown; also statistics showing
how missions aid worldwide growth of
the spirit of civil and religious
liberty, and how missionaries seek
to break down race and religious pre-
judice against both Christians and Jews
in Russia. Turkey, Persia, China, India
and other countries. The relations of
missions to social problems would be
represented in the Protestant and Cath
olic rescue homes and the work of such
undenominational organizations as the
Salvation Army. The alphabets and
languages of missions would be shown.
Chinese ancestral moneyto prevent finan-
cial embarrassment in the other world.
Buddhas, praying machines and devil
worship in Siam would be exhibited.
Models of heather temples might be
erected, and photos and stereopticon
views exhibited, as, for instance. of the
great Shway Dagon Pagoda at Rangoon
| India, and of Buddhist idol houses.
Statistics of the progress of missions and
| the literature Of missions and heather
lands would be shown. The monkey
temple of Benares. and the monkeys a.
an object of worship, could be exhibit.
ed as divinities for the worship of The
people. The symbolisms of silva would
be shown, with trident, three eyes, q
black throat holding q crescent,a a rattle
a tigers skin and an elephants skin.
The draw back to missions and why
the name Of Christian is too often in the
NIos!em mind, the synonym for hypocrisy
and intemperance, may be considered il
the final published report of the exhibit
Christian villages of India might b'
illustrated.

HON. X. p. BATTLE.

At the time of his resignation, tie |
CHRONICLE did not refer at length to he
services which Hon K. P. Battle has
rendered the State as President Of the
University. We preferred to wait until
the end Of his term and then to put On
record a comprehensive statement of his
services. To-day we are glad to quote
the following from DIR. T. Il. PR1Tcu
ARDS letter to Charity and Children:
1t may be a little late in the day; but !
nevertheless, wish to express my high
appreciation of the valuable service DR..
Battle has rendered the State as Presi-
dent of the University. The institution
was in debt: every thing in the way Of
appliances for teaching. except buildings,
and they dreadfully out of repair, had to
be provided, and indeed it was almost
like starting new college when DR..
Battle was called to this position. Money,
and great deal of it, was an absolute
necessity. The State could not or would
not supply it, and it was largely through
the personal regard which Mr.. Paul
Cameron, Mr.. B f. Moore. Gov. Graham
and Others had for DR.. Battle that they
were induced to become the benefactors
of the State college. They knew him to
be wise and safe man: they knew also
that he had the confidence of the people
Of the State and that it was no expert
ment to put him at the head of the Uni
versity.
Moreover, he had been Sta-e Treasu-
rer at time of financial peril His
duties in this Office and his residence in
Raleigh had made him acquainted with
the public men of the State, and | think
10 tn
edge Of men and his tact in managing
men enabled him to secure from the Leg
islature of the State more liberal appro-
priations for the University than per-
haps any other man in North Carolina
could have obtained.
1t is worthy of mention too, in this
connection, that the existence of the
magnificent Memorial Hall is due in nc
small degree to his personal influence
and efforts.
Those who know the many difficulties
that had to be encountered, the scanty
resources at the command of the institu
ton and the energy, wisdom and persis
tence with which they We're assailed anC
overcome will not fail to ascribe his b
degree of praise to the administration o
DR. Battle. All things considered, h.
must be regared as having attained n
ouuaA OOSIOO " SuSNSoo % . ooiA0eo PAS
s1dent. l am very sure that Chape
Hill is to be congratulated that although
DR.. Battle has retired from the pfes
dency, his practical wisdom, large ez
perience and excellent good sense vii
not be lost to her councils, as he is t
fill the new chair of History and Wi
thus be member of the Faculty.
From the days of the great Baptis
deacon Elijah Battle, one of the leadin
statesmen Of his times, to the present
there as not been wanting in Tenn
Ga, Ala, N. G., members of the Battl
family who have been ornaments t
humanity and blessings to the worlt
For generations they have been remarl
able for the qualities which distingus
