THE COLORED MANS TROUBLES.

General Smith u. Atkins, who was a
General in the Federal army and who
afterwards married the daughter of Gov.
Swain. of this State, is editor of the
Freeport Qll) Daily Journal. In the
issue of November 18th, in the editorial
column. General Atkins writes:
THE colored man is having a hard
time of it. In North and South Caro-.
lima the Democrats object to his hold
ing office. and in Illinois the Republi-
can Governor objects to his working
in the coal mines. Surely the colored
man is having hard time of it, At
the present time no citizen of Illinois
has any right to complain of the treat
ment that the colored man is receiving
in the South"
General Atkins states the situation in
these few sentences better than 1t has
been stated by anybody else. As rule
the Northern papers have falsely repre-
scented the people of North and South
Carolina as killing the negroes and mis-
treating them generally. General At
kins states the determination of the peo-
ME of North and South Carolina when
he says they object to his holding Of
fice.'' 1t is that and nothing more
When the negro and his allies hold of
fee. bad government is the result. For
the protection of life, property and vir-
tue. the white men are forced to object
to it and have put an end to it. In
no other way has the negro been dis
eliminated against in the South, and If
that be discrimination, then it is d.s-
elimination which is necessary to pre-
vent anarchy and worse than anarchy.

TRINITY AND WAKE FOREST SET THE
PACE,

Colleges were established primarily to
educate the head. 1t was much later
when the instruction of the heels i'll
some institutions took precedence over
head instruction. 1t was later still that
football Ga great sport and one that
ought to be encouraged in proper limits,
became SO absorbing that i'll some insti-
tutions the football team became more
important than the presidents, all the
faculty and the full curriculum.
In North Carolina the pendulum has
swung back to the old idea that the edu-
cation of the brains comes before the
cultivation of the body or the heels.
Trinity College and Wake Forest have
set the pace for other institutions by
the great contest between the students
of their respective colleges. So far as
we are concerned, this paper is a base
ball crank, believer in football and
an advocate of all athletics. They arc
all good in their place, but the true test
of excellence of Il college or
University. is not which produces the
best catcher or the best punter, but
which turns out the best equipped men
intellectually. Whatever athletics are
necessary to give a sound body are to
be encouraged because we find as Il rule
that a strong mind exists in the sound
body, but the college that sends out
young men best equipped to think, to
talk. and to best help mankind is the
college that the parents Will selacC for
training their sons.
Raleigh was full last night of Il fine
body of splendid young men, the college
spirit ran high, enthusiasm was at the
highest point There could not have
been more enthusiasm over football
game than over the debate, showing that
intellectual athletics can arouse as much
enthusiasm and develop as fine college
spirit as football or baseball.
The speaking was of a high order, even
better on the whole than last year, show
ing that the spirit of improvement con-
trolls in both institutions and the young
men yearly reflect mere credit upon their
institutions. The inauguration of this
contest makes Thanksgiving night a no
table one in Raleigh, and has Il INA
effect upon the whole State as well us
upon the colleges.

i. Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
CAT the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He'is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icino." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

is giving it wider range than we at first

is giving it wider range than we at first
comprehended.
But must not detain you. Just now,
however, this subject is uppermost IN the
minds of every one, and all are asking,
what are we to do with the Philippines,
and what with Porto Rico? Well, Porto
Rico is something more than 1000 miles
out in the ocean from our nearest land,
Key West, and we need it as a place OF
refuge and basis of supplies for our
navy, and coaling station Tor our mer-
chant marine. And for the same purpose
we need Manila harbor in far away
Asiatic waters. with no port we can
call our own within seven or eight thous-
and miles.
But aside from the real need OF portin
that part of the world, what American.
and especially what Vermonter, would
ever consent to give up Manila harbor,
which we have made immortal by ma
val victory without parallel in history
No, we must keep Manila and give it the
And with Manila, who fails to see the
necessity of the Sandwich Islands as
halfway station, which have long been a
dependency OF the United States in every
thing but the strict legal relation, and
this is now being rapidly established.
At this very moment the United States
senate is gravely considering the propo-
sition of the house to make these islands
a part OF the territory of the United
States. But here some prudent man
asks and we should not forget the pru-
dent side of the question, how are we to
govern these outlying dependencies
And l answer, that while | have not the
time to develop my own conception OF
what that government should be, beyond
saying it should be colonial in character,
feel that can confidently say that the
descendants of the people who planted
this republic. and who have guarded and
defended it till by purchase and conquest
it has overspread the continent, will
under the providence of God find way
to govern these islands, which shall be
infinitely better than the misgoyernment
under which the peoples occupying them
are now struggling; and such govern
ment too, as shall not weaken but
strengthen the republic both at home
and abroad.
Mr.. President, it seems to me that
whatever may have been our individual
opinions before the war began, now that
we are in it there is only one course to
pursue, and that is to fight it out, and
trust to American craftsmanship, al
ways thus far equal to the occasion, to
deal with such problems as may arise
along the way, and finally to make such
use of tine fruits of our victory, which is
sure to come, as shall best serve the ma
terial and moral interests of the republic
and contribute to the peace and prosper
ity OF the American people.

that one has been chosen from their
number to be Col. Smiths running

devotion to the interests of the re-
publican party. 1t is also gratifying
that John L. Bacon of White River

treasurer. He is a fine representative

and will make a good treasurer.

with deep affection
And recollection
! often think of
Our cd academy bell
Whose sound so wild would,
In the days of childhood
Fling around my student head
Its magic spell.
I've heard bells Ginning
Full many cline in,
Tolling sublime in
Cathedral shrine,
While at glib rate.
Brass tongues would vibrate;
But all their music
Spoke naught like thine"
And what shall l say to and of those
who were wont to gather there? In the
letter of our friend is suggestion that
| might address something in the nature
OF letter to THE Old Boys and Girls"
but have decided not to use that style.
/ shall want to meet you sometime. Be-
sides youth and age are matters of feel
ing, not of years, and l remember you
all as young boys and girls. There was
an unusual sweetness in the intercourse
of those youthful days and it abides with
me with memory and love that has but
strengthened with theyears. Ithas been
one OF the sorrows of my life that for
tune has separated me so far from the
friends OF my youth that have seen little
or nothing OF them; but the associations
of those days from 40 to '55 cannot be
effaced nor dimmed by time nor space.
The teachers of my day were but the
boys and girls of Yesterday and the
student body was but children of younger
growth. Today as indite these lines |
seem to be minglng with them again,
and we are all boys and girls together
once more.
And yet, when in the retrospect we see
the worlds vast strides in history, and
it's development in the arts and sciences,
in invention, in discovery, in literature
and religion, we are awakened to a
realizing sense that the years have been
flying swiftly along, and we are in fact
men and women, well along in the up
ward scale and approaching the better
part of life. And now as we look back
over the intervening years, in the light Of
observation and experience, we can see
better than ever what blessed institu-
ton the New England academy is, and
what it has done and is doing, for us
and for others, in laying broad and deep
the foundations upon which the super
structure of life and character so much
depends. God bless our old academy and
all it's worthy sons and daughters
Yes, we are approaching the better
part Of life, so let us be of good cheer and
highly resolve that what will leone, and
must come, shall come WE'LL" Lille is but
probation, means unto an end, and
that end, what our thoughts make it.
Heaven is not a destination nor happi-
ness to be bought with gold; both are
within and must be found there, if at all.
If we are but true to ourselves then,
surely the best is yet to be. In this faith
let us live, in this faith let us labor for
the best, making all our failures and mis-
takes but stepping stones OF our dead
self to higher things"
In conclusion. then, let me extend as
surances of hearty good will and best
wishes, and in my farewell let it be re-
ceived as it is gwen, not in it's incorrect
sense as is too usual, but in its real sense,
akin to the beautiful sentiments from the
German "Auf Wiedersehen," till we meet
again.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
