TRINITY COLLEGE MOTIFS.

The Historical Society held it's regular
meeting last Saturday night The pro-
gram was as follows:
Prof. Jerome Dowd read a character
sketch of a notable negro in Charlotte,
CDR. Knox negro scholar,and aristocrat.
The paper was prepared in Prof DoWd,s
happiest vein and was an admirable pct
IRE of the faneiful turn that at times
takes the mind Of the negro. The tenden-
cV to use words of huge ponderasity,"
as DR.. Knox would say, as well as the
disposition Of the negro to boast or his
connection with people of rank was pre-
scented with the ease of an experienced
dialect writer. The paper was very fa-
yorably received.
Prof. r. t. Flowers under the title Of
Further Light on the Mecklenburg
Declaration presented clearly the views
brought out by Hon. w. w. Henry in
the July number of the Virginia Maya
zine of History" In this article Mr..
Henry calls attention to the fact that
in August, 1775, Thomas Polk, John
Phifer, and others closely associated
with the so-called Goth of May Declara-
ton were members of the North Carolina
Provincial Congress, where they took
the test oath processing our allegiance to
the King and acknowledging the con-
stitutional powers of government" That
Congress passed unanimously resolu.
ton in which were these words: 1--WE
have been told that independence is our
object; that we seek to shake off all con-
nection with the parent State. Cruel sug-
gestionl DO not all our professions, all
our actions uniformly contradict this r
Gov Martin in a proclamation had re-
ferred to some resolves of Mecklenburg
declaring dissolution OF the laws Of the
province. These resolves, says Mr.. Hen
nv. were the well known resolves of May
31st, the import of which was exagger-
ated by Gov. Martin. This is indicated
nv the fact that the Provincial Congress
'sresolved unanimously that the said pa
per is false, scandalous, scurrilous,
malicious, and seditious libel and that
the said paper be burnt by the common
hangman." The evidence introduced by
| Mr.. Henry. said Prof. Flowers, makes
| strong case against the Goth OF May
resolutions. We must assume that ten
| of the best men in the colony lied In the
| Congress, and that the Congress was

strongly oblivious to what was happen
ing in Meckenburg or we must agree
that the resolutions of May 81, which
all accept as genuine, We're about all
that there was of the matter.
Mr. G. @. Weaver furnished u paper on

War" which in the absence Of Mr.
Weaver. was read by MIR. Curtis. The

Gently assumed the presidency The
strength of the man and his wonderful
hold over the school was one Of the feat
ures brought out in the paper.
Prof. r. l.. Flowers, will leave during
the coming week for Nashville, Tenn,
to represent Trinity in the meeting of
the Association OF Southern Universities
and Colleges.
Prof. J. +. Bivins, Of Roxboro, N. c.,
class of 1896, spent Saturday and Sun
day on the Park His visit was enjoyed
by all his friends.
A number of the students viii go to
their homes to vote Like all other people
they take interest in politics, all parties
being represented among them.
Prof r.. l.. Flowers on Sunday after
noon addressed the Sunday School at
White Cross Chapel, near the city.
A notable feature Of this term is the
healthy athletic spirit that pervades all
the boys Not only is baseball and foot
ball kept in active practice, although
there is no football matchgame for this
season, but a larger number of tennis
courts than ever are occupied all the
time. There never was before at the col
lege so large a proportion Of the boys
taking exercise This is largely respon-
sible for the excellent health of the stu
dents in the present term.

He sat on election night
Tror which the patriot yearns).
BY gas and by electric light
To get the full returns.
And when it CHANGED his candidate
Seemed winning right along,
He drank his health in glasses straight
And shouted with the throng.
And then, in mornings earliest hours
When drowsy mortals snore,
He staggered to his native bowers
And Numbered at the door.
And there as stumbling round the place
He made excuses thin,
His good wife asked not of the race
The full returns were in!

RIoTous NEGROES m ALABAMA
A Plot to Burn a House and Shoot the
inmates as They Run Out.

Selma, Ala. April 15.--News reached
this city at il o'clock last night that
the residence of Judge Alonzo Irwin,
seven miles west of Selma, was sur
rounded by negroes who threatened
to murder the family.
Sheriff Kennedy and d posse fastened
To the scene. The negroes heard them
coming to the house and dispersed. The
leader, Iewellen Osborne, was found
in his house a short distance away. The
door was forced open and Osborne
stuck gun through the crack and at
tempted to shoot. The sheriff fired
into the house and Osborne who had
refused to surrender, ran out, gun in
hand. The posse fired on him and he
fell MORALLY wounded, living but so
minutes thereafter. His dying state
ment was TO the fleet that the mob
around the house intended to set fire
to it and to murder the family If they
ran out. Two Of the ring leaders have
been jailed.
The trouble grew out Of a difficulty
between Judge Twins son and a child
of Osborne's.

A MINUTE REPUBLIC.
Moresnet Is Free Country, With Only
100 Inhabitants.

London Standard: The smallest In
dependent State in Europe is neither
the principally Of Monaco, with its
population of II, 900 souls, nor the re-
public OF st. Martin, with its 5000 in
habitants, nor that of Andorra, con-
tanning only 5000 citizens; but Mores-
net, with population Of scarcely ~,
900.
Moresnet, which is thoroughly auton-
omous, is situated on the Germano-
Belgian frontier, about half way be-
tween Verviers and Aix-la-C hapelle.
1t lies in Ia picturesque valley, water
ed by the little river Gueule.
How Moresnet has maintained its
independence has just been explained
to French journalist by the Belgian
Minister in Paris. The Commune of
Moresnet, as it existed under the EN-
pire, was, after the retreat of the
French in the early years Of the coun-
try, administered exclusively by the
Prussian authorities till 1917. At
that time IL was divided into three
parts, in virtue of the treaty Of June
26, 1916. The principal portion was
annexed to Holland, another portion
was united to Prussia, and the third
portion, situated between the other
two, formed the neutral territory.
1t contains the calamine establish
ment Of the Vieille Montague, and
the Importance of that establishment,
which now produces yearly some25. 600
600 Kilograms Of ore. and furnishes
Europe with about 80 per ct.of the zinc
it employs, rendered it impossible fol
the negotiators to come to an under
standing concerning that fraction of
the frontier. 1t, indeed, seems unlike
ly that decision concerning it will be
taken for long time, as the Govern.
ments of both Germany and Belgium
claim possession of the mines of the
'sOld Mountain" That is why that
piece of contested territory has, fol
the last eight years, preserved its neu.
trial character and its political indie.
pendence.
Prussia and Belgium have each a
commissary, whose duty it is to inter
vene in case of difficulties arising; but
that is purely formal suzerainty.
The Belgian representative is at the
present moment NJ. Bleytnesy, subpre.
feet of Verviers, and that of Prussia,
Counselor Gulcher. The supreme
chief of this minute republic is NJ.
Schmetz, who contents himself with
the title of burgomaster and has occu-
pied that post since 1884. The ideal
taxation of about 60f. per head never
theless suffices TO provide a subven-
tion for the school, and for the repair
ing of the roads, Mafesnet has one
soldier, who wears splendid uniform,
to preserve order. As there are nc
tribunals in the territory, Law cases
have to be tried alternately at yervi-
ers and Aix-la- Chapelle.
