THE UNIVERSITY AND NORMAL
NEAR THE PEOPLES HEART

The discussion of the bill to increase the
appropriation to the University and the
Normal and Industrial School brought
forth some genuine eloQuence in the
House yesterday morning. The whole
scene was moving and full of interest.
The overwhelming sentiment for the
measures, the enthusiasm of the members
regardless of party or race lines for these
grand institutions,and the lofty feeling in
the air, made one proud of North Carolina
and hopeful Of her future. All small
ness and narrowness were blown to the
Winds 1t was made manifest that these
institutions were near to the hearts of the
people, and through every speech rang the
note that in them the youth of the State
high or low, rich or poor, could have an
opportunity to become educated men and
women.
The skillful management of the meas
ures by Representatives Dockery and his
mastery and earnest plea for them was
deserving OF all praise, as were the short
pointed speeches of Representatives john
son of Sampson, Blackburn of Ashe,
Brown of Jones and Young of Wake.
The powerful speech of Representative
Lusk contained many striking passages.
When he spoke of his own struggles, as
a mountain boy, for an education; of how
the University before the war seemed
so far away from him, and Of how to-day
under more liberal policy of the State,
the sons of the poor were focking to hts
doors, there was a sincerity, a passion
and a pathos in, his words that went
straight to thg MN.
The Legislature has done well. Long
life and prosperity Of the University and
the Normal and Industrial School-noble
servants of the people.

S. B. AND L ASSOCIATION.

If receivers are to be appointed, stock
holders in Norh Carolina should concen-
trate their forces, and insist that our
townsman, Mr. c. G. Mcdonald, should
be appointed one of them. Why do we
say this? From the fact that Mr.. McDon-
aid is a man thoroughly posted in such
matters, he is man of fine business
sense and executive ability. Confidence,
to a certain extent, would be restored in
the Association by his appointment.
Our people had the utmost confidence in
the Association as they had and have in
MI. Mcdonald. We hope he may be select
ed as one Of the receivers, in case such are
appointed.

There was as much pathos as humor
Yesterday in the House i'm a little col.
loquy between Representatives Lusk. OF
Buncombe, and Parker, Of Wayne. Mr..
Parker spoke Of the fact that he had a
large family Of children to educate Mr..
Lllsk had said that he had no son TO
educate, and therefore had no selfish mo-
tive IN advocating University appropria-
tion.
Il have three sons, said Mr.. Parker.
Give me one" said Mr.. Lusk.
In his speech in the House Yesterday
morning in support Of the bin TO in
crease the appropriations to the Univer-
sity, Col Luek, the Republican leader
from Western North Carolina, used these
words:
Every voter ought to be able 10 read
the constitution and be able to read the
ballot that he puts in the ballot box"
He repeated the statement twice.
Does this mean that Col. Lusk is going
70 take DR.. Curry's advice and introduce
a bill to permit no man to vote who can
not read and write?
Mr. Alternately, n Pritchard Populist,
who represents Lincoln in the House.
said yesterday in a speech that in all
matters Of appropriations the Democrats
had been more conservative and prudent
than his party. That was a tribute from
an unexpected source.
The members who went to the Newbern
fair returned yesterday in high spirits
over the splendid reception they got.
The exhibition far exceeded their ex-
pectatious, and the social delights were
among the recollections that they were
laying by among their treasures.

HEED THE VOICE or THE PRESS

With few exceptions, the press of the
State endorsed the action of the House
i'm voting for the anti-lease bill. They
implore the Senators to pass the bill to-
day 50 that the people may be relieved Of
$4,000 of taxes annually for 80 years.
The press speaks the sentiments Of the
people.
Their voice ought to be more potent
than the voice Of corporations.

The poorest man who thinks he has
been unjustly deprived of the smallest
sum is entitled to have the courts pass
upon It. The people of North Carolina,
through the press and through the Gov
ernor, and by public meetings, have said
they have been unjustly deprived of their
most valuable property and of $4,000 a
year for 90 years by a secret lease. The
House has said the people shall have the
courts to pass upon it. Pierpont Nor
gan and his agents ask the Senate to close
the doors of the court house and deny
the people a hearing.

ternal Improvements was asked to of
ficially approve the transaction, it declin-
ed to do so.
There is a belief among many lawyers
that for the above and other reasons the
lease is not valid Other lawyers quite
as able believe that It is valid.
What possible objection can there be
to authorizing the institution of suit
to have this doubt settled? 1t can be set
tied only by judicial determination.
The bill before the Senate was drawn
by one Of the first lawyers in the State,
it was amended by friends of the meas
ure in the House, and as a measure to
test the validity of the lease, require
foreign corporations to submit them
selves to the North Carolina courts, and
10 prevent a monopoly in railroad trans
portation it cannot be improved upon.
But il it could be, any change in the
bin as it passed the House, would neces-
state another contest in that body, and
ait this late day in the session make it
probable that the railroad could defeat
any and all legislation looking to the
annullment of the 90 year lease.
Therefore a vote to change the bill as
it passed the House is a vote to prevent
the opening of the doors of the temple of

Maiden. in 1871. She went out to work
as a domestic when only seventeen
years old, and married Gibson about
five years ago. She is the mother of
three children. the last being born on
the 10th of February, 1896, about two
weeks before her husband was muir
dered When asked if she was present
when the murder was committed she
said she was in an adjoining room, but
did not know that her husband was
murdered till about a week ago, when
she was told so by Wilbur Slaughter
and Wiley Lewis. She said her hus-
band had told her that he was going to
Ohio to get rid of some goods which
he had stolen from a store in Mont
gOmery, and with which he was afraid
of being caught. and when she got up
next morning and found him gone she
supposed that he had started TO Ohio
She had received a letter from him af-
terward saying he was sick, and another
letter came shortly afterward purport-
ing to be from his nephew saying he
was dead. She told a long tale Of woe
of how Gibson had neglected her for

port herself the best she could. No
one about Montgomery appears to have
any faith in what Mrs. Gibson tells,
because of the fact that her various
stories do not tally.
1t is limited in Montgomery that the
trial of these people for their crimes
will unearth seine rotten business in
that town, and several prominent citi-
zens will be found to be implicated in
these crimes. Several houses heavily
insured have been burned. and it is be-
lived that these men have been hired to
do the burning. and that they have also
been hired tc xiii certain people in the
town. among whom are the present
Mayor and the chief Of police.
Il so happens that these murders
were committed and the bodies buried
within two hundred yards of the build
ing in which is to be established the
preparatory branch of the State Uni
verSity.
