Promise.
Chapel Hill, n. c.. Oct. Cdr. Kemp
p. Battles lecture last week brought ~
light man of extraordinary proinise'
who fell a victim to consumption III Tue
age of 33, Charles Wilson Harris, cousin
of VIM. Shakespeare Harris, an eminent
citizen of Cabarrus county. Froi. mar
ris graduated at Princeton with highest
honors, speaking the mathematical ora
ton in 1892, the year after DIR. Joseph
Caldwell obtained his degree. he enter
ed the University of North Carolina as
tutor of mathematics in the spring OF
1895, and was promoted in the fall to
full professor. The next year he was
made presiding professor, or principal.
The following year he resigned, greatly
to the regret of the trustees, and studied
law, at Halifax, in the office of General
Davie. When Davie was sent as one
Of the Ministers Plenipotentiary to avert
war with France, he turned over his
practice to Harris. Such was the abili-
ty showed by him that in four years he
was pressed by Davie and other leading
Federalists to allow his name to go be-
fore the General Assembly for a Judge
ship in place of Samuel Johnston, re-
signed. He declined because Of feeble
health. The same year he was chosen
a trustee of the University. He then
visited the West Indies in the hope of
warding off consumption, but failing, re-
turned to Greensboro, in Arson county,
where he died January Is, 1904, at the
home of his brother, Robert w. Harris,
a merchant of that place, named by a
brother of Maria Edgeworth in honor
of his step-mother, Honora Sneyd, once
the sweetheart, if not the Alliance of
Major Andree.
Charles w. Harris was man of
rare ability, remarkably WE'LL read and
polished gentleman. If he had not
left the University he would have GER
tainly been it's first president instead of
Caldwell.
DIR. Battle gave many glimpses into
the early history of the University, and
the manners and history of one hundred
years ago.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 6.-(Special.)
I'm the opinion Of Congressman Lin
uey, the Republicans will carry North
Carolina next year. The POpul:sts, he
mid. will not fuse again with the Demo-
csats for the reason that to restore the
Democrats to power again means the
repeal Of the present election law which
was placed on the statute books by the
votes Of the Republicans and Populists.
Mr.. Linney, when asked about the Re-
publican situation, said that Governor
Russell was not in strict accord with
the party and that there was some lit
tie friction among the leaders. But"
NE added, "when the time rolls around
for the election next year you will see
ms get together and vote solidly for tile
Republican ticket"
There is one thing, above all others,
mat Judge Linney would like to see
this administration do, and that is to re-
neal the civil service law. The people
in North Carolina, he said, are opposed
Co civil service law. Il am satisfied,
said he THAT if it were left to the
voters Of my State, the vote for its re-
peal would be almost unanimous. And
the party that will pledge itself to repeal
ahe law will come mighty near getting
all the votes in the State. | shall use
INV best efforts at the coming session of
Congress to have the repeal or modifica-
tion of the law. And it will be done
sooner or later"
President Mckinley has decided, so ii
was SAID today, to appoint one or the
prominent negro applicants to the office
Of Register of the Treasury, to succeed
Hon. J. Fountain Tillman. The appoint
ment, however. will not be made until
after the election in Ohio. The three
heading negro candidates are j. o.
Napier, of Marshall; Gaines, of Ken
sucky, and ex-senator Bruce, of M:ssis-
sippi. Bruce has been in Ohio making
speeches and working among his race
for Mark Hanna. If Hanna wins ou,
then in all probability Bruce Will gel
the appointment. He has been Register
and therefore is thoroughly familiar with
the details Of the office. And singularly
enough, the office of Register is the only
prominent one that is still held by 9

While this country has been engaged
In the development OF the electric rail-
way the countries OF Europe. especially
France and England, have been giving
attention to vehicles propelled by other
than horse power. One reason for this
divergence Is the excellence OF the
streets and roads In Europe and the
conservative policy there In regard to
allowing railway tracks on the avenues.
The result OF the different lines of ex-
pertinent has been the Advancement OF
the electric railway In the United States
beyond all comparison, while In Eu-
rope the motor carriages. or autodno-
biles, as they are called In France. have
no rivals elsewhere. Our Jealous devo-
ton to the electric railway places us so
far ahead In It's practical application
that large electric equipments for Lon
don and Dublin have been ordered In
this country. Though Europe leads at
present IN motor carriages, the varieties
are so many that their most desirable
form Is stu an open question. But
enough Is known to assure the compete
riage. both for public and private uses
II is no longer In doubt In either the
mechanical or the economic sense. In
Paris, at least 1000 automobiles are In
public use. and they are becoming com
mon In other large French cities. The
French prefer carriages driven by
naphtha or petroleum engines for the
lighter traffic. and those driven by
steam for heavier service. The London
electric cabs. which are multiplying In
the streets and are run ut the regular
cab fare. are propelled by storage bat
teries. A score OF electric cabs, with
storage batteries, are running In the
streets OF New York. They seat two
passengers and are popular at the legal
rate OF so cents an hour. Some heavier
vehicles TO seat three or four persons
have been ordered AT a cost OF $4,000
each. the storage batteries OF which are
charged from a regular commercial
light current.

Smuggling the Shoulders.

Struggling the shoulders in cold
weather Is probably the survival OF an
old instinct which prompts animals to
put the skin OF the back on the stretch.
and SO erect the hairy covering OF that
part. The hair Is now recovering to a
mere downy covering. but the old in
stinct still remains, In common with
others. the rule apparently being that
all instincts which are harmless TO their
possessors are constant, In spite of any
change OF structure. All animals with
long hair or feathers erect their coats
Ia cold weather. for the warmth OF such
a covering depends on its thickness and
the amount Of air It contains, rather
than ON It's bulk.

Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn, on the wings OF prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay;
Somebody clung to his parting hand
Somebody's watching and whiting for

Yearring to hold him again to her heart;
There he lies-with the blue eyes dim,
And smiling, child-like lips apart.

Pausing to drop on his grave tear,
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
