the character of his work and lamented
the fact that he had been unable,
through tie regulations of the faculty,
to take more biology in his freshman
year. AS junior and senior he in
tended to elect il exclusively, he said.
The young mans enthusiasm was
rather more saddening than inspiring
to the professor -Four years devotion
to single subject was crushing to his
ideals Of education. SO he asked:
Don't you think that your career in
college would eventually be more s,.ssis-
factory to yourself and Of more profit to
others if you were to take less of biolo-
gy and acquaint yourself little with
literature and history and the arts?''
The sophomore thought he was pre-
destined for biology.
For some time Professor Norton was
silent. Then hu SAID rather abstntly:
DO you conine yourself to any par

RUSSELL AND CALDWELL,

Mr.. l.. C. Caldwell is still railroad
commissioner and chairman of the com
mission so far as he is advised. Up To-
last evening he had had no intimation
that the Governor wanted to dispose of
him, and it is presumed that his excel
lency intends to allow him to hold on
Statesyille Landmark.
After the Governors stump speech in
the railroad commission office. it was
sunposed he would Immediately accept
the tender of Mr.. Caldwell's resigna-
ton. That was the only course he could
pursue if he had any prctense of con
sistency and hoped TO disprove the ac-
ccpted charge that he had become vas
sal of the Southern Railway. Even. that
would not have convinced those who
know the inside Of the deals and
''dickers," but it might have helped car
~ out the grand-stand performance ar
ranged to fool the spectators. As 1t is
even the farce is Il failure.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

Toward the close of the Legislature a
substitute for the Governors anti-lease
bin was introduced in the Senate. the
effect of which was to ratlfy the lease
Of the North Carolina Railroad for 30
wears. Governor Russell violently oppos-
ed it. and in an interview on February
25th said:
TT simply gives the North Carolina
Railroad to the Southern on its own
terms.
1T puts them in more profitable po-
sition than they were III before the
Legislature met.
1T drives the State out of its own
courts, cofirms and ratities the lease 1or
SO years, and puts the people in shackies
so that they are to be PROSTATE anu
gagged without voice TO protest against
the spoilation of their State.
Il oppose any attempt to legallze the
larceny of the peoples property and TO
strike them dumb so that they cannot
be heard 10 complain.
Il suppose they are expected to be
thankful and duly grateful TO the money
kings for allowing them to keep the old
capitol with an empty treasury
AT that time Vice-President Andrews
was willing to compromise. Russell de-
nounced any compromise then as IAN
attempt to legaliZe the larceny OF the
peoples property" when it was to re-
ducc the lease from 80 to 80 years.
Now, the Governor has made deal
by which the 90 year lease is ratified and
confirmed If by confirming 30-year
lease it was to put the people IN
shackles so that they are to lie pros
trate and gagged without Il voice to pro-
test against the spoiiation of their
State" what shall we say of the action
of the Governor in confirming the W.
wear lease? If it was henious crime
TO ratify the lease for so years. is it not
three times as great Il crime to confirm
the lease for 80 years. as the Governor
has virtually done!
The more the Russell-Andrews deal
is stirred, the more unsayory 1t Is
found TO be.
