If should be deemed wise to make an ar
rangement to lease the convicts to a pri-
vate syndicate, we shall demand that the
matter be submitted to the next General
Assembly, fresh from the people. The
present management of the penitentiary
is everywhere discredited. They do not
enjoy the confidence even of their pol IT,
cal associates. and even if they did they
have no moral rght-we doubt if they
have the legal right--to project themselv-
es in office thirty years or a less term by
making the contemplated lease.
This is too important a matter-it is
too far reaching-it has too many com
plicat:ons to make it proper for a short
term set of officials, to radically charge
the whole penal policy of the State with
out submitting the proposition to the
of the people. There have
been suggestions looking to leasing all
the convicts before, but the policy of the
State has been against it. Is that policy
to be departed from without the consent
or advice of the people?
If the present management cannot
keep out of bankruptcy, let them say so,
and let other men take charge who will
put public duty above partisan, family,
selfish or other considerations, and there
will be no need to rush into a lease to
any syndicate

WIND HIGH AT NEWBERN
OVERFLOW OF THE NEUSE AND TRENT

High Tide Shuts Down Saw Mills and Water
Breaks Over Docks Up into the
Streets,

Newbern, n. c., Sept. 22.-(Speciai.)-
The predicted wind storm has been rag
ng here all day from the northeast, caus-
ing the Neuse and Trent rivers to over
flow. The water front of the city looked
bad at one time. The water is breaking
over the docks and is up into some
streets. Property on the water front is
watched closely. Saw mills are shut down
account of high tide.
Late this afternoon the wind lulled and
the tide fell four or five feet. The prop
erty owners on the river front are not so
uneasy. Reports from the coast say there
is much alarm. No great damage is re-
ported on the rivers.

Average

The Steady growth Of strikes shows n
growth of organized discomfort. In 1879
there were only thirty-twO strikes in
volving only four thousand employees,
whereas for nine years past there has
been an average of 125 strikes per year
involving from twenty to thirty thousand
people.
These statistics will surprise those who
have regarded strikes as almost always
failing to accomplish any good results
to those participating in them. We con-
fess that our rough estimate, based upon
newspaper reading, was that not ten per
cent resulted in even partial success to
the strikers.

! Which He Holds Up the Life of Jesus
rs the Ideal of True Manhood.
Chapel Hill, N. c., Sept. 22.-(Special.)
-Four hundred and fifty students of the
University gathered yesterday in the
chapel to hear talk from President AL
derman.
The fact that before the war, in 1857,
the University had the largest enroll
ment in its history (451 and that after
the war in 1897, the ante-bellum record
has been smashed has created much en-
thusiasm and the true varsity spirit
was decidedly in evidence in the chapel
during DR. Alderman's address.
The words uttered by the president
were not framed into a lecture, but more
into a friendly talk. and the wise adj
vice and counsel offered proved DIR. Al
derman to be the friend of the student
that he has ever had the reputation of
being.
In closing his remarks DR.. Alderman
said in part:
Il have an ideal for this university.
Ny desire and fancy would have it
place where there is always a breath of
freedom in the air, for slavery is not

manners are gentle and cOurtesips

where all classes and conditions and be-
liefs are welcome and rise in earnest,
striving by the might of merit; where
wealth is no prejudice and poverty no
shame; where honorable labor, even of
the hands in mental toll, is glOrifed by
high purpose and pathetic desire for the
sweet waters and the clearer air; where
there is no atmosphere of uncharitable-
ness nor any chidings or ratings, but
rather a large charity and sympathy in
all good efforts that make for righteous
ness and culture, whether within or with
out our own academic walls: where there
is a will to serve all the high ends of q
State struggling up out of ignorance into
general power; where men are trained to
observe closely, imagine wildly, reason
accurately and to have about them some
humility and liberation; where truth, shin
ing patiently like a star, bids us advance

Tom Dixon's political preaching in

and the world into his confidence last
Sunday, saying that he had sacrificed
$4,000 in the past two years trying

enough to support his family. And so
preaching politics of the Platt stamp Is

are thus not to be sacrificed to partisan
