A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Bill Introduced In Congress Is the Culmi.
nation of 100 years of Agitation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The bill to
establish the University of the United
States will be introduced in both
houses of congress to-day. The bill in
general terms provides for an institu-
ton of the highest possible type, for
the graduates of accredited colleges
and universities only, with special ref
erence to the work of original research
and investigation in all important
fields of inquiry. The present bill is
the outgrowth of more than 100 years
of agitation. The thought of ma
tional university first came to Wash
ington while commanding the revolu-
tionary army. Subsequently, as presi-
dent, he repeatedly urged its establish
ment, and in his last will and tesla
ment left $25, 900 in stocks as first en-
dowment, the interest to be COM
pounded. Had congress fostered the
plan this sum would now be nearly So
900, 900. The idea thus cherished by
the father of his country was also in
dorsed by Presidents John Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams and Jackson, and in
more recent years by Presidents Grant
and Hayes.

SCOTLAND NECK NEWS NOTES

Scotland Neck, n. c., Dec. 9.-(Spe-
cial)-It has been given your correspond
ent as matter Of record that Brigadier-
General Felix X. Zollicoffer WIS killed
at Mills Spring. KY, January 19. 1862.
A letter to the Scotland Neck Common
wealth, from Mr.. George Fl. Skinner,
Mascot, Neb., says that he has recently
talked with a lady who has seen the
watch that was taken from General
Tollicoffer's body when he was killed.
The lady has seen the watch recently
and knows who has it. General Zolli-
Golfer was native Of Halifax county.
and Mr.. Skinner being also native of
this county, takes some interest in the
matter He thinks the relatives of Gen.
Zo''icoffer could easily obtain the watch
if they so desire.
The work of tho fusion LEGISLATURE
is hearing unmistakahle fruit in this
county. The revision of the jury list by
the county commissioners last June, is
revealing the fact now that we have
about as many negro jurors as we have
whites. In some cases in the Criminal
court in Halifax this week there have
been more negroes than white men in
the jury box. They are summoned with
ont hesitancy for tales jurors. Put the
white people are getting sick. To look
into the court room one would hardly
realize that this has ever been a white
mans country.

STOCK LAW ELECTION.
Democrats and Populist Fuse in Chat
ham County.

Merry Oaks, N. c., Dec. 9.-(SpeciaD-
Soon after the Stock law went into force
in Wake county a majority of the voters
of parts of this, New Hope and Cape
Fear townships by petition secured the
Stock law for this territory.
There is and has been all the time par
ties opposed to the law and this fall suf-
ficient number signed petition to get the
Commissioners to grant an election
which came off to day at Mr.. w. Fl.
Grass in Cape Fear township near the
centre of territory resulting in favor
of the stock law by 43 majority. Quite
an amount of man to man camapign
work has been done and some feeling,
very much like pilitical feeling, existed.
As a rule the Democrats >and POpuist
were together in favor of continuing
The law while the Republicans and color
ed people were opposed. OF course there
were some exceptions. Now that the
antics are beaten by n majority Of 43
ont of 1913 registered votes we expect
the feeling and complaining to die down
and things to move on as before.
Five cents cotton when 10 cents was
expected from the pretended great Nc
Kiuley wave of prosperity has paralyzed
business, and farmers are so blue that
they can't afford to buy even ammuni-
ton to kill rabbits and the Raleigh peo-
pie will not be troubled with Chatham
county rabbits on the market from this
section. Very truly yours, for the
white men and white metal"
