OF OUR BOYS AT
COLLEGE.

To the Editor: Frequent mention has
been made of late in the public prints of
deserved distinction attained by young
North Carolinians at the various insti-
tutions of learning throughout the coun-
try-as well at those without as within
the State-as in the case of Cadet Will
liam Peace who stands so high at West
Point
A marked instance of this gratifying
prominence Of our boys was shown at
the commencement of the University Of
the South at Sewanee, Tenn, on the
9th instant. This college, Of which your
fellow townsman, Bishop Joseph B.
Cheshire, is trustee, has about two
hundred undergraduates and it's stand
ard Of scholarship is very high. At it's
commencement on the 9Th, according to
the published programme, but three ora
tions were delivered, of which two were
assigned to North Carolinians, viz: the
Latin salutatory to Thos. Pasteur Moe,
of Carteret county, and the valedictory
to Frederic Hartman Harding, Of Beau
fort or Lenoir county. These young men
were both prepared for their collegiate
course at Trinity school, Chocowinity,
Beaufort county, Rev. N. Collin Hughes

SONG OF THE STRIKERS.

Up with the trusts, while we gnaw the

And our children cry for bread;
And the flag of the free waves merrily
Where a million strikers tread!
Up with the trusts while we groan and

And lives to the dark are led:
And prate of freedom and glory yet,
Where a million strikers tread!
And sing the song of 'the brigter days.
And say: ''Be We clothed and fedr'
While the sun of Liberty throws his rays
Where a million strikers tread!

An Innocent Sufferer

How often you hear Of a sweet inno-
cent child suffering from some terrible
blood disease which is hereditary and
which if not irradicated from the system
will be source of misery during its
entire life. II you are a parent and
your child is suffering from any blood
disease, don't neglect getting a bottle of
Africana the sure cure.
Read the following:
I had been troubled for years with
rheumatism. took two bottles Of your
most excellent medicine, Africana, which
has about relieved me entirely, and l
feel like a different man. My little
daughter, eight years old, was greatly
afflicted with sore eyes all her life, and
less than one bottle Of Africana has af-
fected apparently a permanent cure. It
affords me great pleasure to recommend
your most excellent medicine, the "Afri-
cana," as a great relief of suffering hu-

Character is more than intellect. A

The news & observer., 1897-08-08

We have thought it well to emphasize
money over all it touches by another
reference to the action of the trustees of
Brown University. 1t is not the first
time the spirit of Rockefeller has sought
to control scholastic instruction. 1t will
not be the last unless the people make it
so disgraceful that no man will dare to
do it and lift up his head 1t is better
thousand times that our colleges and uni
versities should be poor than to become
the agents for propagating the lie that
trust is not an organized theft. The
young man who believes Rockefeller is
a proper man to be held up for emulation
is already a moral bankrupt.
We hardly appreciate the tremendous
awakening of the people this modern
guillotine applied to President Andrews
has wrought. 1t brings us face to face
with a condition that threatens intel
lectual liberty and freedom of speech.
IHc lIuSL uOHlludleS every LQlDR else.
The people will make a rally to save
their colleges from the blighting curse
that touched and almost destroyed
Brown University. President Andrews
will not be troubled by the persecution,
though he is being burned at the modern
stake for his convictions just as Ridley
was years ago. The only reason the
New England prosecutors do not burn
him at the stake today is because the
modern prosecutor drives men out to
starve instead of lighting faggots under
them. 1t is change in the method which
time has brought. There is no change Of
spirit. President Andrews can say with
Ridley at the stake: "Be Of good cheer,
Brother Latimer; blaze is kindled to-
day in England the influence Of which
will be felt around the world"
