make special laws governing Its citizens

DIR. CHAS. d. M'IVER.

The position of President of the Uni
versity is one of the most honorable
in the commonwealth, and its oppor-
tunity for large usefulness would fill
the measure of the highest ambition.
At the same time it is pleasant to know
that one of the States first sons, DIR.
McIver, is so absorbed in the educa-
ton of the women that the suggestion
of a call to succeed President Winston,
usually regarded as the first educa-
tional position in the State, is not suf-
ficient to tempt him to leave his great
work. He is wise in preferring to work
where work is most needed, and where
the greatest good to the State will re-
suit.
Many friends of the University, in
Raleigh and elsewhere, will hear DR..
McIver's decision with regret. They
had hoped that his genius for organi-
cation and executive management
could be given to his alma mater, and
had felt that he would make a worthy
successor to the distinguished men
who have filled that position.

be the most exciting political year for
ten years past The enthusiasm for
Bryan is intense. Your correspondent

rabid PopuHsts, who say they will
certainly vote for the Democratic NOM
inee. Things look very bright for
Democratic success here this year.
From what | can learn, DIR. Charles
ID. McIver has a splendid backing for
the presidency of the University, if he
chose to take the place, but the Doctor
has positively stated to your cOrrespon-
dent that if rendered the place he could
not accept, as he considers the higher
education of women in North Carolina
of even greater importance at present
than THE position of president of the
University. DR.. McIver has his heart
in his work, and is determined that
Young women shall have an equal
chance with men to get an education.

her horse and Messrs. Lee and McNeely
were still dismounted. Mr.. Lee hold

Mr.. lee, killing both instantly, as well
as killing both horses, Mr.. McNeely's
horse was knocked down, but he was
only slightly shocked, being ten feet
from the others.

Mr.. Granger Tells How the Delegation
Was Held in Line For Him.

Mr.. !. w. Granger arrived Monday
from Chicago. He was enthusiastic
over the work of the convention, and
fully believes the ticket will be elected.
lie says the old politicians in the con-
vention had settled on Bland, and that
the first day of the convention only
eleven delegates were for Bryan, and
they were all from North Carolina.
These were as follows: c. f. Warren,
of First district; Tom Emry and j. w.
Granger, Second district; NJ. w. Page
and W. C. Hammer, Fourth district;
n. B. Canady and L. Faulk, Fifth dis
'triet: w. Il. Turner. Seventh district;
+. B. Jones, Eighth district; w e.
Moore, Ninth district; JnO II. Webster,
delegate at large.
The other delegates from North Car
DINA were divided between Bland,
Boies and Teller. Mr.. Granger and
the other delegates who favored Bryan
were told by the "old stagers" that
they would be throwing their votes
away by voting for Bryan, but they
stuck to him, and the arrival of DIR.
r. f. Dixon, a North Carolina dele
gate who favored Bryan, next day
enabled the Bryan men to give him
the solid vote of North Carolina by
the unit rule. Mr.. Josephus Daniels
was for Bryan but was not delegate.
