me conveniences OF the present day. It
was a rich office that had a scrivener.
The stenographer was unknown; the
typewriter was not dreamed of. On the
other hand, a lawyer of that day had
but TO consult few books, whereas law
libraries through the multiplication of
reports of supreme courts in various
states. the federal courts and half a
century's recorded works of courts the
world over have grown tremendously.
Pinckney, of Maryland, appearing be-
fore the supreme COURT of the United
States. thought it beneath his dignity,
an impeachment Of his memory, to bring
into court any volumes from which he
proposed to quote. His authorities were
at the tipof his tongue, as well they
might be when authorities were as few
as they were at the beginning Of the
century,"
In the days when Writ was willing to
go from Baltimore to New York in
big case for $500 the fame of a 1ewyer
rested less upon civil cases than upon
the vindicatfon of personal rights. Now,
personal rights do not cut much of
big case for $500 the fame of a lewyer
for such cases. The big capitalists, rich
corporations and large enterprises have.
pay immense fees. Lawyers cultivate
these clients and devote themselves to
property interests. Such attorneys ara
not anxious to appear in the courts.
They make more money by keeping out.
They train themselves until they be-
come c1ear-headed advisers for men of
wealth, and they make big fees sitting
in their offices, giving opinions and
drawing UP papers.
Lawyers like Writ and Pinckney, with
their small fees, their cases involving
personal rights, and their active work
in the court room would be looked down
upon by the average lawyers of the
prosperous class today, who represents
Mr. Sl1ylock, Mr.. Bullion and the Con-
solidated Trust Company of the Uni
verse.
Down south the lawyers have not yet
reached this point, but the time is COM
ing. There cannot be great change
in the fortunes and business methods
of a people without working a CORE
spending change in legislation, courts
and lawyers.

NORTH CAROLINA'S COLORED
CONGRESSMAN NAY APPOINT A
NEGRO

Washington Letter to New York SUM-
There is much apprehension among
army officers stationed at the War De
partment that another celored cadet may
be appointed to West Point. Recalling
previous trouble, the prospect of the
cadet corps being again distinguished
by a black face is not at all pleasant.
The Hon. George II. White, a celored
member from North Carolina, has been
notified that there will be vacancy at
the Military Academy by the graduation
Of a cadet from his district, June 1898,
but as the law provides that candidates
shall be designated one year in advance,
Mr.. White must name his boy before the
end of May. The authorities are fearful
that he will follow the practices OF other
colored members of Congress who have
vacancies in the government schools, and
appoint boy OF his own race, and If Mr..
White does this, without leaving the
selection to competition, army men say
twill defeat him i'm his district, as white
Republicans would rebel against such
action. Mr.. White, it is expected, will
probably appoint a colored boy raight
with another colored lad as alternate, so
that If the principal fails the alternate,
may take the examination.

ed cadet was graduated from West Point.

A WAVE OF GLORY.
Encompassed the Football Team ON
Their Return to Wake Forest.

Wake Forest, n. c., April 22.-(SpeciaD
Our bali team returned from their trip
South this morning, bearing the laurels
from many hard fought battles.
The flames from the bonfire, over fifty
feet high and the exultant yell of the
students as the train pulled in at 2:46
this morning told the tale of the many
teams that went down in defeat before
the "Old Gold and Blacks" We now
have the championship of the South, and
as "little Bob our matchless catcher,
said this morning, we are going to hold it.
: Williams or big Boy" as he is known
in college, has especially distinguished
himself in the box on this trip. Proving
himself puzzle to Lehigh only allowing
them four hits and three runs, which is
better than any pitcher in the South has
done for them. This is "Big's" first sea-
son in the box and the rep. he has won
is almost wonderful.
We crossed bats with five teams while
gone, viz: Lehigh, University of Georgia,
University Of South Carolina, Charlotte
and WoffOrd college winning all except
the Lehigh game which we lost by a
score of 3 to /. Our game with Georgia
was somewhat close, the score being to
II to II at the end of the ninth inning,
but in the tenth inning shut-out for
Georgia, and home run with two men
on bases for Wake Forest, left the
Georgia bucks" with long faces and
gave the "Tar-heels" victory.
The game with South Carolina was a
complete walk-over the, score being %
to ..
Wofford College gave us good game,
but the winning run of the ninth in
ming made the score 8 to 8.
The 'White and Blue" must now either
give us a game as we have asked them to
do several times, or forfeit all claim to
the championship of the South.
