THE BROADENING EDUCATIONAL
VIEW

A highly endowed native North
Carolinian some weeks ago wrote so
cnc0uraginglv for the educational
outlook and development in our
State, that upon reflection we have
concluded TO lay part OF it before
our readers He has not written for
the public eve. He said: Il am one
Of those who believe that in North
Carolina the love Of literature and the
learned arts, Of all the graces and
amenities that make life more worth
the living, is being increased and
intensified. whether reflected and rep
resented among the nOnentitlcs Of
State journalism or not. The devel-
opment Of such things is not properly
celebrated by the blare Of trumpets
or the flare Of torchlight professions,
but is no less fact. The best thought
Of the uneXpressed is, in print.
In spite Of political, journalistic and
other conditions, am ready to be-
licvc that broader culture is des-
tined to make itself felt in North
Carolina in the immediate future. |

little maudlin i'll my opinion, but |
prefer it (and believe it to be u>t and
earnesD to cynical and detracting
pcssimism. My belief in the people
OF North Carolina is as great rs my
disbelief il MANY of those who assume
to lead and teach them" This is Il
long extract but it is a good one.
We think there are hopeful signs that
can be diScerned in the educational
heavens. The last scholastic year
has brought Il larger attendance to
the higher institutions, with a few
exceptions, than ever before. The
number of schools increases, and it
is an interesting fact that with their
multiplication there is an increase in
attendance. The signs in the main
are propitious. There is a broaden
ING of public sentiment in behalf of
better common schools and favorable
to Improvement in academies, col
icges and the excellent and most
prosperous University of North Caro-
lima. Not vet has all been done that
can be done. In truth, the move
mcnt for better and more thorough
education is but started, and yet it is
gathering momentum and it will
make itself felt. Speed the day and
make glad all the hearts Of children.
Much is yet to be learned by parents
as to their duty to their offspring,
and the taxpayers must take on n
more liberal and earnest view OF edu-
cation and its demands But our
friend is not much wrong in his be-
lief that the day of a higher intel
ligence is dawning upon North Caro-
lima. Wilmington Messenger.

WE have always held to the
opinion and do yet that the white
men of North Carolina can ratifv that
amendment at the polls if they SO
determine. The great victory of '9S
shows what has been done and what
can be done again. But while all
this is true indications point to the
fact that the matter will be hotlv
contested and that united. determined
and systematic effort will be neces-
sary. The average negro regards his
ballot as near and dear as his very
life and it may be depended upon that
he along with great many of his white
allies. will put up game fight to
maintain this inestimable privilege.
Talk about unity. there will be no
division in their ranks. They know
that the adoption of the amendment
means disfranchisement and that is
sufficient: that is all that is necessary
to unite them in the determination
to defeat it at all hazards.

Self-coniidence is mighty factor

SCALE S-GRAhA1.
of Lieut.. Scales, U. S. Navy
and Hiss Harriet Pierce Graham.

From the New York Tribune of re-
cent date we take the following which
will be of interest to many of our
readers. Lieut.. Scales. the groom.
is a son of the late Gov. Alfred NJ.
Scales, and nephew of our towns
man Capt. X. 3. Henderson. We
quote:
"A brilliant wedding took place y-ster-
day at noon in Christ Church, Bay Ridge
The bride was Miss Harriet Pierce Ora
ham, daughter of Brigadier-General and
Mrs William Montrose Graham, and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, through her
| mother, of President Pierce. The bride
groom was Lieutenant Archibald Hen
| derson Scales, Of Greensboro, \. G., in
structor Of mathematics at Annapolis.
The church was profusely decora ted
| with white lilies and ferns, which were
massed at the altar, with garland
twined about the altar rail. The Rev.
| Bishop Faulkner, rector OF the church,
performed the ceremony. The bride was
| gOwned in white satin, with trimming of
| point duchesse lace. which had been worn
| by her mother. Her veil was fastened
with orange blossoms, and at her throat
| she wore a circle of diamonds aud pearls,
| Lieutenant Scales wedding gift. She
carried lilies of the valley in u shower
bouquet. Her only attendant was her
sister, Miss Meta Campbell Graham,
who was gowned in white organdie with
insertion of valenciennes lace and finish
ed with bertha of the lace. Miss Ora
hams hat was ofpink with pink roses, land
she carried pink sweet peas. Alfred NJ.
Scales, brother of the bridegroom, was
best man, the ushers being Lieutenauts
| 7
| Charles T. Jewell and Edward r. Wither-
spoon, all of the Navy, who were attired
in full dress uniform.
''The brides gift to her attendant was
a circle of pearls, while Lieutenant Scales
gave to his brother a scarf pin of the
same design. The ushers received pearl
| forget-me-nOts. The bride was given
away by her father.
"After the marriage ceremony there
was a reception and breakfast at the
| home of the bride, the Clarke cottage,
| at Ninety eighth street and Marine
avenue. The floral decorations were of
white lilies and Georgia smilaX, while,
flags were everywhere in evidence, and
| formed canopy over the bride and
bridegroom as they stood to greet their
guests. The wedding cake was decorated
with flags, and when the time arrived
for cutting it Lieutenant Scales handed
to his wife his sword, which she used for
the purpose. During the breakfast the
band from Fort Hamilton played on the
lawn, and at $3.50 Lieutenant and Mrs
Scales left town on their wedding trip.

THE TALBOT ARRIVES.
The British Cruiser Reaches New
York From Bermuda.

New York, March 6.-The British cruiser
Talbot, which is to take the body of Lord
Hersehell to England. arrived at this port
today. She was sighted of the Highlands
at 2:35 O'Clock in the afternoon, and by .
o'clock she was at anchor near Ellis
Island at the old man. -of-war anchorage.
The Talbot left Bermuda on Friday under
orders from the British Admiral. She
made fifteen knots an hour until Sunday
night. when she ran into gale. Aside
from slowing her up a little the storm did
not affect her, and she came in looking
as trim as though fresh from the dry dock.
AS soon as the Talbot was reported Lieu
tenant Scott, of the revenue cutter Man
haitian telephoned the British Consul
General Percy Sanderson, who went i'm
mediately TO the cutters pier and board=d
her Then tine Manhattan steamed down
the bay to greet the cruiser. The cutter
met her at Quarantine. where, OF course,
the man-of-war was not boarded. The
vessels doctor merely tossed a clean bill
CT health to the doctors tug and passed
en-. escorted by the Manhattan. At the
anchorage the Talbot ran up the United
States flag and saluted with twenty -one
guns. The guns at Castle William re-
sponded, and the Talbot having anchored,
Consul General Sanderscn boarded her.
He found everything on the cruiser all
ship shape and in readiness for the voyage
over the Atlantic except for a shortage of
coal and water. Captain Gamble inform
ed the Consul General that he wanted two
hundred tons of coal and ninety tons of
water and after a short visit Mr. Sander
son came ashore to arrange to supply
them. As he went over the vessels side
a conslls salute of nine guns was fired
in his honor.
Barges with coal and water will be sent
alongside at daylight tomorrow morning,
and the Taibot's captain expects to be
ready to sail by noon. This i he hour
set for the cruisers departure. In men,
