The doors of the University were open

of the Concord Society, the first president
being David Gillespie, of Duplin. The
name debating was translated into dia-

Concord was changed to Philanthropic

THEY ARE YOUNG YET.

Two of the abest, oldest and wisest
men in public life to-day are Senators
Morgan and Teller. The reports in the
Washington Post indicate that these pa
triots made the independence day ses-
sion of the Senate uncomfortable for
the majority.
Senator Morgan is so intense a friend
to all men who are fighting for liberty
He did not take much part in the tariff
debate but took time enough to give ex-
preston to the following sentiment
which will find response in every patri-
OTIS heart:
and / would make this day of
independence for those prosecuted
people of Cuba. Before this day
closes we should give to those people
the recognition they look for from
us. But we will not do it. No, there
are political debts to pay with a tar
if bill, and we must let the Cubans
die and he destroyed by the cohorts
of Weyler until the very stencil of
Weyler comes across the gulf and
asSails our nostrils.'
According to the Post, Senator Teller
along another line added to the discom-
fort of those responsible for legislation.
The Post says:
IF any Senator in charge of this
BILL" said Senator letter in speech
on the floor yesterday, will rise in
his seat and tell us that this bill will
bring in sufficient revenue during
the present fiscal year, | will gladly
listen to such a statement"
Nobody rose. Senator Allison sat 81
lent, nervously chewing ends of his
mustache. The trouble is that the bill
will not bring in revenue enough,
and the members of the Finance
committee know it. Senator Allison's
silence gave Mr.. Teller an opportuni-
ty to prod deeper. 1.-The committee
has dropped the duty ON tea," said
he, because a tea tax and a stamp
tax together are entirely too remi-
niscent of revolutionary days We
might have had a beer tax, as we
ought to have" he added, 'but for
the fact that an election is coming
on this fall in great State, and it is
not deemed wise to offend the large
portion of its population which does
not believe on tax on beer"
At this shot Senator Hanna smiled
grimly.
These Senators are not as young as
they once were, but it is certain that
they have lost none of their vigor, wis
dom or political acumen.

''HONOR TO WHOM HONOR. !"

The editor of the Biblical Recorder,
who was riding on the cars the other
day and looking out upon a garden
around little cabin" had forced on
him the reflection that latter all the
North Carolina people get more out of
9heir gardens than they get out of their
farms" The Recorder quotes from the
report of the Truckers Association that
more than 100000 worth of fruit and
truck was sold this spring, and adds:
"'We heard a North Carolina man
asking Michigan man how to raise
strawberries the other day. The
Michigan man had come to North
Carolina without knowing how; but
he was lively; he procured books and
papers. He learned; and in the sea-
son just closed he shipped $3.50 worth

above all expenses $675. He will
plant ten acres this fall. The success
OF this enterprise has been achieved
largely by the Association. 1t en-

enc else is Mr.. j. S. Westbrook, OF
