White Spoke for White.

George H. White, the Republican
nominee for Congress from this Dis
trict, spoke here last Saturday. He is
a good talker and one of the smartest
men of his race in the State. He had
a fair crowd of colored people and a
sprinkling OF white people.
He finds it little difficult to dis
cuss the money question. The Re
publican platform declares for gold, OF
course, but many of the colored people
have an idea that free silver is what
we need. So MIR. White let off on the
money question by saying that he did
not very we'll understand it that it takes
the study of life time to understand
it, and even then there are differences
of opinion between the most learned
men of the nation-all of which il
true. He explained the meaning OF
16 to l and passed on to things which
he said were of more importance to
the colored man than the money ques-
ton.
He said that in round numbers
about one-seventh of the popu lation o.
this country is composed OF the colored
race, and that by just proportion thu
colored race is entitled to one membe
of the United States Supreme Court
twelve United States Senators ant
about fifty Congressman. He said ais'
that this is the only District in tn
limited States from which there ls
possibility of electing colored Con
gresham. He said he wished to hav
the color line dlsregarded, but some
his bearers thought he was drawing
pretty plainly.
The speaker told his republican
friends that the election OF the tlcke
ms the most important matter wit
them. and urged them to vote for Nj
); Kinley. Russell and White. He urge
them to work for Republican clubs an
thoroughly organize.
i In the course of his speech Whit
said to his audience that he would
!! frank and plain with them. he sal
he wanted to go to Congress not onl
, In REPRESENT his race, but to get the te
thousand dollars at the other END
the string.

LITTLETON HIGH SCHOOL.
Beautiful in Situation and First Class
In Emsensy.

Peeping up through the tall ans
towering oaks On the moun:a;n-llke
hillside in the outskirts of the town
OF Li:tleton, may be seen the Littlston
High School and Business Institute.
which Principal L. w. Bagley adver
tises on the fourth page Of this issue OF
THE COMMONWEALTH.
The personality ana reputation OF
Professor Bagiey as first class educa-
tor are known in almost every part OF
North Carolina, and certainly through
out Eastern Carolina. The attractions
and health advantages of the town of
Littleton caused Prof. Bag1ey to decide
to open there school of high grade
for boys and young men. About ten
years ago he selected this ideal spo,
on which to plant his buildings and
rear his institution.
It Is indeed an ideal place for boys
and young men to pursue quietly their
course Of study, whereby they are fitted
for the work of active life or are pre-
pared for entrance upon college
course at any of the best and highest
colleges in the country.
Removed, as it is, a good distance from
the town proper, there is every influ-
ence OF quietude to lndcue and assist
the student In his search for knowledge.
And when the brain is tired with
thinking, the wild and beautiful seem
cry ON the outlying hills in the forests
around furnishes that relief from book
work which the student always needs
and in the relief which comes by wan
dering over hills and through dales
the student finds the great book of
nature with wide open page where
he may feast his eyes ON the beauties
about him and drink In the sweet songs
of natures own glad choristers as they
make melody in their gleeiul songs of
the forests.
Truly it is an ideal place where the
tired may rest and be sweetly RECALLED
by natures varied beauties and the
soft, sweet songs of birds; and where
the seeker after knowledge may drink
unmolested at the fountain which most
satisfies the soul.
Added to the facilities for mental
development and the inspiration to
study that the peculiar situation of the
institution Offers, there is strength for
the physical also. The celebrated
Shaw Ali-Healing Springs are within
a few minutes walk of the institution,
where the students have free access to
the water of one of the best mineral
springs in the country.
The institution has improved Its
facilities and the work done is the very
best and the teaching up-to-date III
every respect. Mr.. w. G. Toole Of
Georgia business College will have
charge Of the business department this
year. and the principal will spare nc
pains to make the school even better
than it has ever been.
The social and moral features OF the
town Of Llttleton are good, and whoev
er sends his son or sons to this instltu
ton will make no mistake.
We know whereof we speak wher
we say Prof. Bagley is one OF the safest
instructors for boys and young men II
the State.
