NO SUCH SCHOOL HERE.
A Negro Reported to be Collecting
Money for f'North State College,"

A Negro Reported to be Collecting
Money for "North State College,"
Ed. Mathews, mulatto, who has
figured in politics here during several
elections, is reported to be in Phila
delphia collecting money for the
North State Industrial College, To-
Gated at Winston "" There is no such
school here and Ed is about to be
caught up with.
THE SENTINEL was shown a letter
Monday which was sent to the Chief
of Police OF Philadelphia. 1t states
that if Mathews is collecting money
there he is not doing it uoder the
sanction Of the Forsyth Board of Edu
cation. Tue letter is signed by Chair
man Licbenthaler.
Ed is known here as unreliable and
a pretty ''slick duck" 1t is said that
before he left here he informed Mayor
Crutcht1eld. Clerk of the Court Will
son and other white Republicans that
he might want to refer some Northern
gentlemen to thFm some time in the
future They gave him an affirma-
tive answer, but did not realize that
he wanted TO use their names to aid
him in collecting money 1t is be-
lieyed now that Ed in his circular,
claiming that he represents the
North State Industrial College"
gives the men named above as refer
ence
Mathews is pretty sharp. but If he
is not careful his present plan of ope
ration will get him into trouble.

LEE AND NICHOLS.
The Evangelist and Secretary of the
State Fair Warming Up.

The Evangelist and Secretary of the
State Fair Warming Up.
Evangelist Lee, who is conducting
meeting in Raleigh, has raised the
ire OF Secretary John Nichols of the
State Fair. A few evenings ago the
former announced that he proposed to
pay his respects to the Secretary and
the "btg three" meaning the saloon
men who kept their places of business
open during the State Fair, at his
meeting Sunday afternoon.
Saturday Mr.. Nichols wrote a letter
to Mr.. Lee, put special delivery
stamp on il and mailed it to him The
letter Is somewhat caustic and refers
to the Evangelist as an Irish
tramp Continuing the Secretary
Says: "lf you dare allude to me In
your remarks on Sunday afternoon l
shall hold you personally responsible
for what you may say" Mr.. Nichols
added that he would be present at
that service.
The Evangelist read the letter to
his congregation Saturday night and
commented upon 1t. Among other
things, the News and Observer quotes
him as saying:
The conduct of a public Official"
said Mr.. Lee, lis public property, and
Sioiu buc flgub UO puDllCly cOnQomQ
such public conduct whenever / see
proper to do so and I intend to exer.
else that right here and elsewhere.
II am not going about" said the
speaker, with chip on my shoulder,
but l will say to Mr.. Nichols or any,
body else that here stands an Irish
man that don't run from him or any
body else"
Ii was the first time he declared
that he had ever been called a tramp
and he wanted it understood that he
was gentleman and not tramp.
He called upon all those who stood
with Mr.. Nichols in the controversy
| to stand up There were no responses
Then he called on all those who stood
with him to stand up, when a large
| number arose
| AT the Park Hotel, after the meet.
ing, Mr.. Lee reiterated what he had
said at the meeting and declared with
| emphasis that before he would back
down from stating what he honestly
thought and believed, he would hare
his bosom TO the ball or the bayonet
of his enemy.

OPENING OF STAR COURSE.

house, Monday Night.
The opening of the Star Course OF
the z. NJ @ A. for this season was
attended by very large and appre-
ciative and considerate audience. at
the Courthouse. Monday night.
At the outset there was every inoi-
cation that No l of the Course would
score big success, but this expecta-
tion was not fully met. A severe
throat trouble rendered it necessary
traction of the Company, should can
Gel all her plumbers on the program,
save one, to the regret of the audience
and to the grief Of the Madame and
her company. In the face of her ply
sicianS warning, Mme- Kronberg he
roically attempted to perform her part,
but was obliged to yield to the in irm-
ity which attacked her. Toward he
latter part of the evening she rallied
somewhat and rendered her part in
duett, giving the audience an intima-
tion OF the fne treat of which the
misfortune referred to had deprived
them.
The Company was exceedingly &C
commOdatlng and tried in every pos
sible way to overcome the disappnint-
ment and the sympathetic audience
was in good humor about it and dis
posed to make the best of the situa-
tion. We think, however, it would
be but just to return portion of the
tariff TO non-holders of Course Tick
ets-to those who paid S1.00 admis-
sion, If their names are known.
Mr.. Kronberg has wonderfully
strong baritone voice; Mr.. Frank Ken
nedy is tip-top violinist, and Miss
Marie Patterson is fine pianist. and
each in turn won the plaudits of the
large audience

A couple arrived here Monday even

their visit was TO get married, but
Register of Deeds Miller declined to
issue them license
Alderman Vance happened to drop
n the Registers Office about dark.
he found the couple in there await
ing the arrival of Mr. Miller. The
room was rather dark, but the girl
was trying to decorate the young
mans hair. Mr. Vance turned on the
electric light and gave the couple the
pest advice bachelor could give. He
united the most important point,
iowsver. This was in regard to the
girls age.
When the Register stepped in the
young man told his business Mr.
Miller asked him how old was his
girl. He replied seventeen
This ended the matter and the
Register Told the couple that the only
thing left for them to do ( they were
determined to get married) was to go
TO South Carolina. Or course IL they
get the written consent from the
girls parents Mr.. Miller will gladly
fill out the papers.
Mr.. Vance says he thought the fell
low had sense enough to know how
old girl must be in this county be-
fore she can get married without her
parents consent.

Reported for The Sentinel.
Mr. Watterson's lecture on'A braham
Lincoln. at the State Normal Satur-
day night, was a most flushed piece
matter was concerned, but his voice
was weak and his delivery failed to
arouse the Interest and sympathy of
his audience to the extent one would
expect.
The brilliant editor has a fine head,
which strongly reminds one of Seua
tor Vance. His hair and mustache
are almost white and he appears 10 be

pompous and all in all he has dis
lingnished appearance.
He made no Introductory remarks.

school boy would "A reclamation
At times he became very dramatic
and employed sarcas III to f1ae effect
especially when speaking OF some Of
ed themselves superior to the great
statesman.
Tue entire lecture abounded in
broad guage" sentences. There were
no dry details relating to Lincoln or
the war. Every sentence was used to
analyZe Lincoln's character. This
was done in a mastery manner.
Mr.. Wattersou said that the key to
Lincoln's rise and success was "his
remarkable genius of common sense u
One Of the most interesting parts Of
the lecture was an account OF the re-
lations that existed for while be-
tween Lincoln and his two chief Sec.
retaries-Seward and Stanton both
of whom signally failed in their at
tempts to convince Lincoln that he
was weak member" for president.
The lecturer also read Lincoln's de-
scriptiCn of himself, which was brief
and PLAIN. 1t ended with something
like this: "My height is SIX feet
four; weight $50 lb-; hairy very coarse
and black: complexion dark and ap
pearaDce awkWard; all other marks
and brands forgotten
Mr. Watterson was we'll acquainted
with Lincoln-had long interyie"
with him just before the Inaugural
tion, and stood by his side during the
delivery of the inaugural address. He
said Lincoln spoke just as ii he had
been delivering inaugural addresses
all his life and that no one doubted
his greatness after he began to speak
1t was a revelation to the people
Mr. Watterson said he not only

FROM BAD TO WORSE.
Even Judge Robinson Said to Ride
on Free Passes.

Even Judge Robinson Said to Ride
on Free Passes.
1t Low appears that Judge Robin
son. of the Superior Court. rides on
free passes. At least the grand jury
of Wayne county has returned true
bills against the Southern and Attain
tic Coast Line railroads for issuing
passes to the Judge and his family.
The case WILDE tried at the next
term Of the Superior Court.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Robinson created quite sensation in
Raleigh recently in charging the
Wake grand jury to return true bills
against railroads for issuing free
passes. In this charge he SAID among
other things: IF you find your Judge
coming to his court on a free pass it
will be your duty to present the man
who gave 1T to him and Of the Legis-
lature to impeach the Judge"
The result of the trial will be looked
forward to with interest.

1.-The law will be upheld
1t the Civil Service protects assis-
tant postmasters, and IL Is claimed by
many that it does, IL means that Win
