THE NORMAL SITUATION.

1t is most gratifying to the thou
sands of friends all over the State of
the Normal and Industrial College
that the location of the cause of the
deplorable outbreak of fever in the
institution has been determined by
expert investigation and that these
causes will be treated in the proper
and effectual manner, eliminating all
danger of future cOntagion, looking
to the re-opening of the college the
first of the incoming year. And
there is an abundance of reinsurance
in the timely expression of salts
faction directed to President McIver
and his co-assistants, from the
parents and friends of the patients
who have died, at the tender and
sympathetic manner in which the
lamented ones were looked after
during their illness at the college,
President McIver has been the
target of some unwise criticism from
people who have not taken the pains
to look into the Situation with the
careful eye, but the expression from
the sources mentioned above, whose
most absorbing interest in the matter
cannot be questioned, should COM
pletely exonorate him from any per-
sonal blame. We doubt not that he
has managed the affair better than
many another conscientious man
would have managed it, realizing the
crushing responsibility upon his
shoulders. He has certainly occu-
pied an embarrassing position since
the epidemic broke out, but has
nobly sustained the personal, pro-
fessiOnal and official character which
ranks him with the leading educa-
commissioned only of North Caro-
lina-of the South.
AS is noted in our news columns
to-day, the situation at the Normal
continues to improve. 1t is earnestly
hoped that kind Providence NAV
watch over these young ladies who are
still upon the bed of suffering, and
that they may be restored to their
wonted health The deepest SYM
pathv of the whole State goes out to
them. And it is also hoped that
those who have impatiently expressed
themselves on this calamity will not
be hasty to bestow blame and censure
where in all probability it does not
belong. but will leave the whole
matter in the hands of the experts
who are managing it and who. it may
not be doubted, will manage it with
entire justice to all parties concern

ORGANIZATION SHOULD BEGIN.

Chairman Simmons has called a
meeting of the Democratic State tx
ecutive Committee for December II.
The meeting at this time is wise. In
fact, we can depend on Chairman
Simmons to do the right thing at the
right time. There can be but one
object and result in the meeting, and
that is to lay the plans for organizing
the white men in the State in the in
terest OF the Amendment and good
government. The committee should
proceed at once on the work Of the
next campaign. 1t is true that tn G
State convention will name a COM
mittee and there may be a new chair
man--though we think not and hope
not; yet there is work for the present
chairman and his able assistants.
They must hand over to the State
convention the white voters OF the
State as a solid mass for the amend
ment. In no way can this be done
so well as in club organization. The
unions Of the last campaign were the
most powerful factors in the great
work that was done. There must be
perfect precinct organization. The
name Of every white man must be at
hand and each individual supplied
with literature on the amendment.
The Republicans are secretely at
work circulating all sorts Of false
hoods as the effect of the amendment.
On that question there can be no
lodging. The object and effect Of it
will be to disfranchiSe very large
per cent. Of the negro vote.
1t will not disfranchise a single
white man.
Let organization begin. Remem-
Der that the election is three months
earlier-in August-than usual. The
convention will be earlier and the
campaingn will open sooner. BERTHE
county will be organized in every
spot. The men who compose the ex-
ecutive committee in this county are
wise, vigilant, active and determined.
We are ready to begin the work when
the wise men of the white race say
the word. Seven months is not a
long time in which to organize more
than 200, 900 voters into a solid mass.
The sooner the work begins the bet
ter. About two years ago the State
committee met and issued an address
prepared by our townsman who is
a member of the committee. The
keynote of the last campaign was
sounded at that meeting. And it is
to the coming meeting we look with
confidence that wisdom and good
sense will prevail and the work of
complete organization be commenced.

EDUCATION OF NEGROES IN The
SOUTH.

The generosity of the Southern
white people in providing educational
facilities for the negroes is worthy of
the highest commendation. 1t is not
sufficient to say that it was their
duty to do what they have done. II
they had pursued a different course
under the condition which prevailed
after the Civil war. they could not
have been censured very severely, for
their property had been destroyed
and many of them were almost pen
uiless and unable to provide properly
for the educational needs OF their
own children. much less the needs of
the children of their former slaves.
1t is greatly to their credit that,
under such trying circumstances.
they did not discriminate against the
negro, but allowed his children to
have share of school funds which
were derived almost entirely from
taxes paid by the whites.
ments have been inaugurated from
time to time to devote the taxes paid
by whites exclusively to the edaca-
ton of white children and to give to
the negroes for the education of their
children such sums as they might
pay into the State treasury in the
form of taxes. If such a plan had
been adopted, the Southern negroes
would have had very few schools,
while the educational facilities pro-
vided for the whites would have been
materially increased and improved.
Although there, might have been
justification for such a division of the
school funds, the suggestion was
never favored by majority of the
white taxpayers in any Southern
State. regardless of the legality of
such division. They have con-
tinued to educate the negroes at
their own expense and at the expense
of white children, never stopping to
inquire whether the results justified
the expenditure, although at times
they may have had serious doubts on
the subject. If they had divided the
school funds in proportion to the
taxes paid by the representatives of
each race, they would have had more
and better schools for white children
If they had objected to taxation the
object of which is the support of
colored schools, the negro would be
in a very bad way as far as his oppor-
tunities for getting an education are
concerned.-Erchanqe.

PROSPERITY COMING.

The changes that will be made in
staid old North Carolina within the
next ten years would startle us if we
could realize them now. The strides
that have been made within the past
five years equal in Importance the
prosperity of the past twenty-five.
The corporations are forming and
capital is fast flowing in. But the
country districts are not keeping
peace with the commercial centres !;
in fact the farmers are complaining
as bitterly as ever. What the result
of this class of prosperity will be it
is hard to foretell. The battle royal
between the people and the trusts
appears to be on, and the trusts
seem to be on the winning side. We
are certainly not a pessimist-we
hope also we are not a fawner. We
may say, however, that we wish the
old style of doing business in the
South might not be displaced by the
new. We believe that competition
rather than capital ought to be the
life of trade We would regret to
see the small tradesman or the small
manufacturer crowded to the wall
because of his weakness. We are
frank to say that in such case our
sympathies are all the time with the
little man. We are not ready to
throw up our hat when we hear of
vast combinations being formed all
about US. There is prosperity
that, properly spelled, would be
poverty. May the Lord deliver us
from plutocracy and pauperism.-
