MORE FAVORITISM HERE
LOGE HARRIS NEPHEW GETS SCHOLAR
SHIP WITHOUT EXAMINATION.
Three Boy Candidates for Cadetships in A. and

For Political favorite.

On the Oath of July, in response to an
or notice that an examma-
ton would be held for the two scholar.
ships to which Wake county is entitled
in the A. and Nj. College, three boys pre-
sented themselves to Rev. II. w. Norris,
county supervisor of schools, for exam-
nation. These boys were Charlie L1lms-
den. Charlie Watson and David Fort,
Jr., each one of whom paid fee for ex-
animation by Mr.. Norris. After the ex-
animation, Mr.. Norris sent the examlna-
tion papers to President Holiday, OF the
A. and NJ. College. After some time
President Holiday returned the papers
TO Mr.. Norris with the statement that
all three of the boys had stood the ex-
animation manfully, and were entitied
to the scholarships, and that two of the
three would have to be selected.
Yesterday the County Commissioners,
claiming the right to make the appoint
ment. named nephew of }. Z. Logan
Harris, county attorney and chairman
Of the Board of Trustees of the A. and
NJ. College, and young man named
Ill.
Register of Deeds Rogers, for the Wake
county scholarships. Neither OF these
young men has stood any examination,
and their appointment is purely matter
of political favoritism. The law regulat-
ing the division of scholarships is found
is section 8, chapt. 41O, laws Of 1897, and
is as follows:
."The Board of Trustees shall admit to
benefits Of the said college, free OF any
charges for tuition, upon proper evidence
of good, moral character and of their IN
ability, or the inability Of their parents
or guardians to pay their tuition, GER
tain number of youths, to be determined
nv them, not to be less than one hun
bred and twenty, and shall apportion the
same to the different counties applying,
according to their relative number OF
members in the House Of representa-
lives of North Carolina. The said Board
are hereby empowered to make the nee
essary regulations for carrying this into
offect and for the admission of other
students"
II has been the custom in all the coun-
t;as not TO award these scholarships to
political parties, but to the boys standing
tbe hest competitive examination. This
plan gave to every boy in the county an
equal chance, and is the only fair plan
that ought to be pursued. Instead Of
that. we have a new innovation that
gives a relative of the chairman OF the
Board and special friend, if not rela-
tive, of the Register of Deeds the posi-
tons without examination.
1t so CHANGED that the young men who
- Eos n n q
were the sons of Democrats. For that
crime, the rule Of fair play and an equal
chance is repealed and is replaced by
favoritism.
In several counties the Board of Edu-
cation made the selection and they de-
sired at first to do this in Wake county,
but Mr. Harris, county attorney, was de-
termined that the commissioners should
do the selecting, and their action shows
that he was not without a motive in the
matter.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

At a regular meeting of Seaton Gales
Lodge No. 81. l. o. o. F., held on the
18th of August, 1897, the committee APP
pointed to draft suitable resolutions III
regard to the death of the late Henry
Il. Clawson, presented the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Sorrows wonderful shadow
has again darkened the portals of our
lodge, and our dear Brother, Past Grand
Patriarch, Henry r. Clawson, whom
we honOred and dearly loved, has left
us and joined the Grand Lodge above.
The burning taper of his life has been
extinguished and he is dead" A more
valuable member we could not have lost,
and his loss is indeed irreparable. He
had filed all the positions in the gift
of his lodge conscientiously and with
the highest honors to himself and was
indeed an Odd Fellow in spirit and in
truth, but now the silver cords are loosed
the golden bowl is broken, his dust has
returned to earth and his spirit is gone
to Him who gave it; Gods will is done
Our dear Brother, II. II. Clawson, was
born in the city of Boston, Mass, about
seventy-eight years ago, and died at his
home in the city of Newark, y. j., on the
18th of August 1897. Be it therefore
Resolved, That we bow in meek submits

Ruler, we still deplore this dispensatior
of his providence that thus removes
from our lodge so valuable member
so dear to us all.

AT THE THEATRES.

"The Widow Goldstein," the New
York comedy success, will be presented
at the Academy of Music Friday night.
This is the only attraction during the
week. ''The Widow Goldstein" is a
farce comedy, pure and simple. The
stereotyped characters Of knock about
farce are refreshingly absent. The idea
of the comedy is particularly new; the
situations are new, and the treatment
they receive from the company is new
The clever lines and the clever acting
does away with the necessity of string
of worthless specialties. The fun of the
thing is fast, and always legitimately
connected with the lines of the comedy.
The cast includes the well-known come
dian, Harry Rogers.
A notable engagement in this city at
an early date is that Of Bancroft, the
greatest of magicians, who has just clos
ed successful run in New York city.
Raleigh has never seen a high-class ma
gician and Bancroft's appearance in Raj
eigh will doubtless prove one Of the
events OF the present theatri season.
Bancroft carries two carloads OF scenery
and number Of people. The attraction
is one of the most expensive on the road.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

There was a full attendance at the
session of the school committee yester-
day afternoon at o'clock in the Mayor S
office. The meeting was called to con
slider the condition of the school buildings
and get them in shape before the city
schools open, September oath.
The necessary repairs will be made at
the Watson place which will be used for
colored children. This will not require
much work and will afford three good
recitation rooms.
The Lumsden place, which was intend
ed to be used for white school, is in
very bad condition, but if after it has
been examined by a contractor and the
repairs will not cost too much it will
be put in shape. This house will max
two recitation rooms. What teacher:
will be placed at these schools will be
determined later. The other schools OF
the city will be whitewashed and the
necessary repairs made.
This morning at 8 o'clock in the Cen
tennial school Prof. l.. ID. Howell will
conduct an examination to fill two va.
cancies in the colored schools.

A GENUINE EVE.

Henry Berry is colored man. He and
his wife once lived peacefully in Char
lotte, but some tince since she got in
trouble and was finally sent to the State
Prison for larceny. OF course, Berry was
deeply hurt and defended his wife on ev-
cry hand. He FINELY followed her to Raj
eigh and lived here so he could be near
her. He worked at Trinity College and
went back and forth, but things soon be
gan to disappear at the college and the
fact was plain that Berry was following
his wife in more ways than one. His
house was searched and some OF the
stolen articles were found; so Berry is
in a fair way to join his spouse in her
present quarters.
