PRESIDENT ALDERMAN.

The formal Inauguration, on Jan,
9th, of Prof. E. A. Alderman as
President of the University of North
Carolina, was an interesting and i'm
portant event, some of the details of
which will be found in our news
columns today. Besides so being
in reference to the distinguished and
worthy son Of the State upon whom
this great honor was bestowed and
in reference to the prospective welfare
loyal direction of it's new President
we regard the event as most oppor-
tune and we believe that it will prove
of great significance in enhancing
appreciation of the University and
its work and purposes with the law
makers and the citizenship at large,
and, moreover, that impetus will be
given thereby, not only to higher
public education, but to public edu-
cation generally in the State.
In anticipating the event, the Will
mington Messenger takes occasion
to pay the following very high tribute
to President Alderman:
"On Wednesday, the 9th of JAN
uary, 1897, it will be recorded, DIR.
Edwin A. Alderman, a native of Will
mington, aged SO, in the prime of
manhood, with an intellect dis.
ciplined, strengthened and furnished
NV OF Of 10
vigor as study enlarges the vision
and adds to it's resources, yet not
full orbed in all it's capabilities as it
will be in years yet to come-was in
augurated as president of the Uni
versity of North Carolina in the pres
ence of large, intelligent and most
interested assembly, with all due GER
emory and solemnity. This auspici-
GUS occasion we say is very import
ant event for the venerable State
University as for the State at large.
DR.. Alderman, we believe, is the
fourth president of this distinguished
State school, emitting the radical
days when it was given over to
predatory visitors and to bats and
owls. We do not believe better
equipped man for the high place has
occupied the chair. In many respects
DR.. Alderman is first. He is the
master of all who have preceded him
as writer OF elegant, scholarly,
eloquent English. He is lecturer of
higher grade than any before him.
He has finer literary taste than
any of his predecessors. He is said
to be endowed with administrative
ability. He is in touch with ardent,
aspiring youth. He is up with ad-
vanced culture and it's methods. He
is a teacher of pronounced success.
He has the manners of a gentleman,
converses WE'LL, is suave, urbane, and
yet decided, with the courage of con-
viction and frank and manly in bear
ing. The students will never bestow
a nickname upon him that shah be
derogatory or that shall lessen his
influence for good. All success to
him and to the venerable and ad-
mirable university over which he
presides."

CALLS HIM MARY ANN ;

Since Buffers flag went down in
the Senatorial battle, the Raleigh
Tribune, Republican. amuses itself
now and then by pouring hot shot
into the Senator. 1t has even got to
calling him "Mary Ann" the pet
name that the Democrats used to
apply to him, when he and the Re-
publicans slept in the same bed and
held midnight caucuses to devise
schemes for wrestling the affairs of
government from the Democrat tic
party, which has ever stood for the
best interests of the whole people.
Gradually the Vaccinations of thu
combine budded and blossomed and
bore fruit and finally the State gov
eminent has gone from Democracy
aud a Senator has been elected with
views counter to the majority OF the
people. All Of this made possible by
the aid rendered by the man who is
now the object of abuse of his afore-
time companions, because of defeat
coming directly through the treach-
cry of mem bers of his own branch Of
the combine. 1t is not our fight, but
we are tempted to say that the atti-
tude of the boilers reminds US OF
Benedict Arnold and the once sub
dued but now venemous Republicans
recall the incident of the farmer who
placed the half-frCzan snake in his
bosom and when it was thus called
back to life stung its benefactor to
death Butler, however, may not
bite the dust and at future time his
turn to laugh may come.
But let the Tribune speak for itself.
1t says:
"And so Mr.. Mary Ann Butler is
to read out Hotspur Skinner and his
bold riders and drive them out into
utter darkness; and he is anxious to
know whether the Republicans are
to recognize the Butterflies or the
Skinnerites in dealing with them az a
party? Well, that ought not to be
hard to answer. It's just as easy as
falling of a log. Let the Republican
caucus ignore the Butler crowd and
co operate with the Skinner contin-
gent, SO to speak, fully reco njzipg
them as the only genuine, pure and
undo filed Populist pa ty. The But
lerites are mere bsrnacles on the
Populist body politic-mere warty
excrescences on the only true PeOple's
marty OrpanjZat ton
In other words, the Tribune would
reverse the natural order of things
and have the tail wag the dog. With
Republicans, the true anything is
that which helps their party to cue
cess, regardless of treachery to past
or present utilization. We suppose
if it was pressed for an opinion, the
Tribune would say that the Palmer
Buckner contingent was "the only
genuine, pure and undefiled" Demo
cratic party.
The present state of affairs should
serve to open the eyes of the rank
and file of the Populist party to thu
fact that they have been used to pull
Republican chestnuts out of the fire
Can't they see it? Or is it a case O.
| blindness because they will not see

THE RAILROAD BILL.

In the till now pending in the
Legislature, entitled ga bill to be Ell
titled an act to prescribe the terms
upon which foreign railroad corpora
tions shall be allowed to operate
railroads and transact business
within the State of North Carolina, !"
there occurs a section which, it
occurs to us, should receive atten-
ton at the hands of our Chamber OF
Commerce. 1t is section 8 and reads
as follows:
THAT all acts or parts of acts Of
the General Assembly of North Caro-
lima which have heretofore authorized
the construction of any line of rail
road, or the extension of any line OF
railroad, already constructed or
equipped, In whole or in part, or the
building of any branch OF railroad SO
as to intersect or extend within ten
miles of the South Caroliua State
line at any point between the cross
ing of the Cheraw and Salisbury
railroad and the crossing of the Ohio
river aud Charleston railroad over
said State line, or which authorizes
the construction of any line or lines
OF railroad so as to connect the
North Western North Carolina rail
road, or any branch thereof, or the
railroad extending from Winston to
M cksville, or the railroad extending
from Winston to Wilkesboro, or the
Cape Fear and Y1dkin Valley rail-
road with the Western North Caro-
lima railroad, are hereby repealed,
and the Governor is authorized to
bring suit to enjoin and restrain the
construction or extension of such
railroad, and in the exercise of such
authority is clothed with all of the
rights aud powers as to costs, bonds
and counsel fees conferred il the pre-
cediDg sections of this act"
We do not know that we fully
understand the purport of this Sec
ton. 1t appears to be intended to
prevent the Southern from making
its way through the State over any
other route than that traVersed by
the North Carolina road. We know
that our people have long had a
desire Tor direct connection with the
South aud according To our con
struction the adoption of the section
referred to would vitiate any efforts
that have been made to secure this
connection and would render hope
less future desires in this direction,
without further legislation.
At any rate, we think it would be
proper for our Chamber of Commerce
to give the matter earnest considera
ton with view to ascertainiDg the
full purpose of this section and to
take such steps as may be deemed
necessary to protect any of our inter-
ests that may be threatened by it's
passage.
We notice that the same bill, Sec
ton II, empowers the Governor,
with the concurrence of either the
Treasurer or the Secretary of State,
to sell the States interest in the
North Carolina railroad for sum

Lewis c. Turner, of Bonneville. Va,
was cut about the body and is in a
critical condition.
The wreck was caused by a big wash
out, about one hundred and fifty yards
of earth washing away from under the
rails. The train was running at high
rate being more than an hour late. The
engine. together with the baggage,
mail and express cars and two coaches.
rolled into ditch, almost twenty feet
deep, and it is a miracle that the loss
of life was not far greater than it was.
Superintendent J NJ. Gill. Of this city,
sent out a wrecking train and he de-
parted on a special for the scene of the
disaster. Physicians from Portsmouth
were soon on the ground and the in
iured were cared for. The loss to the
company will be heavy. as the engine
and three cars are a total wreck. A
track was laid around the wreck this
afternoon, and traffic has been resumed.
