RALpH WALDO EMERSON.


Prof. Edwin Mimms delivered be-
fore the Trinity Epworth League
Tuesday night the second of his series
of lectures on famous American au-
thors.
The subject was Ralph Waldo Emer-
son. and large crowd marked the APP
probation Of Durham people for high
literary genius by attending.
The lecturer said that while Haw-
thorne was the greatest literary genius
America had yet produced, Emerson
was the greatest personality. llaw-
thorne from the vantage ground of
his own insight and imagination had
looked TO the past for his material.
Emerson, holding to what was great
in Puritanism, himself the emDodi-
ment of moral virture, led the people
into a new age; to him more than to
any other man was due the intellectual
emancipation of New England. He
was a great teacher as well as a great
author. lie spoke of the different
characteristics of Emerson his strong
attachments to his mother brothers,
and it's people. his friendship with
Allcott, Thoreau, Margaret Fuller,
Hawthorne and Carlyle, his love for
nature. habits of reading, and pro-
found consciousness of his mission in
life The lecturer gave many instances
Illustrating these elements IN his char
acter:
Emerson bore his message TO the
world i'm three ways; his lectures,
ESSAYS, and poems. As a lecturer he
had commanding influence in the col
leges and universities of America as
we'll as on the large public of towns
and cities. Lowell said that he was
the most maiestical person he ever
saw, and that his personality gave
force to his words No one ever spoke
so many words Of inspiration to young
men. He gave them life, "the life of
genius" As poet, Emerson is great
only in his highest moments OF inspir-
alton, Concord Bridge" Days,
''Rhodora." Terminus" and "Thre-
nody," were referred to, and passages
quoted to show his power to crystailze
thoughts in fine expressions. As an
essayist. Emerson ranks with Bacon,
Addison and Lamb. His essays lack
system, but contain nuggets OF gold,
that have become the expressions OF
higher life to many in quest of truth.
His prose approaches poetry in It's
beauty and rhythm. Passages were
read from his essays. The lecturer
closed by saying that while Emerson
had his defects and was not always
sound in his views, he gave message
TO the world that has meant much, and
that from his works has come an in
huence that is permanent.

A GOOD MAN DEAD.

Our people learned with much re-
greet of the death of Mr.. Thos. h.
Farthing. which occurred at his home
on McMannen street last night about
nine o'clock.
The deceased has been confined TO
his home for about a month, and those
who knew that he was "A victim Of that
full destroyer of mankind
tion--realized that it was but ones
ton of time when the end would
come. Nevertheless his death was a
sad shock to his many friends. Mr..
Farthing was prominent young busi-
ness man having been until recently
a member Of the firm Of Heartt d
Farthing. druggists.
He was a member of the Primitive
Baptist church, and in his church rela-
tions, az In aIl others, vas consistently
active.
He was 81 years old and leaves, desc
lated by his death, devoted wife and
two children, faithful mother, two
sisters and two brothers. He will be
buried from his late residence at 10
o'clock Thursday morning. Rev. L. ID.
Gold, Of Wilson, will perform the sad
rites. and the remains will be Inferred
in the family burying ground at the
old home place, about two miles from
Durham.

MR.. CARROLL An ARTFuL DoDGER


| Mr. O. j. Carroll, the man who. by
| his ignorant articles, has shown his
unfitness for the high and responsible
position to which he was appointed, is
| out in the Press Visitor of Tuesday in
another Characteristic article. Such
ignorance, such stupidity and such
reckless handling OF the truth has
rarely been manifested in any man
who laid any claim to ordinary IN
telligence or responsibility. Evidently
the communication emanates from
man unworthy of the position Of Uni
ted States marshal for the Eastern
District of North Carolina. He lodges
plain questions that could not be mis-
taken and goes off ON side issue try
ing to muddy the waters and break
the force of the Durham corresponds
ent's charges.
He doesn't deny that he said IN No
vember last. long before George
Walker was appointed deputy marshal,
that he" said Walker, was n d-n
little rascal, and ought to be indicted
and put in the penitentlary. The
Durham correspondent makes the dis
tinct charge that this conversation
was in November. 1895, that, after
that conversation, George Walker was
appointed a deputy. Didn't he admit
as much Tuesday i'm the presence OF
Mr.. George Hammer? If he did not adj
nit it, when the charge was made on
il. wasn't he as silent as the grave?
When Mr.. Carroll says he had no CON
nection with the appointment of ID. W.
Whitaker rs United States commits
sioner. it simply raises a question of
4 nnH hIJ1-
ker. Let them fight it out. Judge
Seymour can perhaps throw some
light on this transaction about which
Marshal Carroll tells one tale and
Commissioner Whitaker another.
What the people want are FAC q ana
they will not be misled by Marshal
Carroll's buster. This correspondent
does not boast of his contentious adj
herance to Democratic principles but
he is a Democrat from principle ana
has never yet espoused a cause that ne
was not true to under any and all cir
cumstances.
When Mr. Carroll attempts to bring
into this controversy Mr.. Fred. \.
Green, a young lawyer of character,
he but shows his instruction to avoid
the issue. Mr.. Green did not inspire
the statement of facts which your
correspondent made and has had moth
ing to do with it since. His time is
fully employed in attending to
practice a generous public has seen
proper to give him, and while he may
have lost a fee in his failure to collect
a claim against Mr.. Carroll, if it led
to motive in his heart against him
CARROLL, Mr. Green has been too judi
cious to mention it, even to your cor
respondent.
Neither has Mr. Josephus Daniels
inspired these articles. The Durham
correspondent did not know and had
no intimation that the relations be-
tween the News and Observer manage
ment and Mr.. Carroll were not of the
friendliest kind. When the first letter
was written, personal letter TO the
editor in chief urging that the publi-
cation be made. was sent in separate
enyelop. When Marshal Carroll in.
Inmates or insinuates that these letters
have been inspired by other than the
public good, he il as far away from
the truth as when he says he didn't
have Dave Whitaker appointed com
missioner.

SENATOR FAULKNER, who is chairman
of the democratic congressional cam
paign committee, said, in the course of
the debate on the attempt of the repub-
licans to sneak political legislation into
an appropriation BILL through clause
in thelegislative bill changing the time
for the meeting of the territorial legis-
lature Of New Mexico from next De-
cember to May, 1897, that the sneak
was made on the hope that republi-
can president would be elected and
seated before that legislature met. SEN
ator Wolcott, thinking to be very smart,
said: ''Do / understand that the sena-
tor says a republican president will be
elected?" "No," promptly replied Sen
ator Faulkner; "only those of most
vivid imagination and who dream when
they are awake will say that" Senator
Hill, who first called attention to the
little sneak game fathered by Senator
Elkins and Delegate Catron, had the
satisfaction of seeing it struck out Of
the bill by the vote of the senate.
