Mt. Olive Advertiser: Last Saturday
a bolt of lightning struck a house on
the boulevard, locally known as Mill
Row, which was occupied by a colored
, woman named Angelina Outlaw. The
only occupants Of the domicile at the
time were several small children, and

structive nature of the work of the
subtle fluid is considered, is little short

The longer we live the more firmly
we are convinced that such epithets as
liar" n coward are a confession
of in the man who uses them.
1t is the man who is worsted in the ar
gument who loses his temper and tries
TO raise a cloud Of dust. We have seen
men branded as liars for telling the
truth n have seen brute force resort
ed to for the purpose of sitting discus
sion, but we have lived Ions enough to
see time prove who was the liar and
the coward. If a statement is false the
plain ruth is the antidote for the poi
son; if it is true all the harsh and in
sulting epithets in the language cannot
make it a lie.-Webster's (Reidsville)
Weekly.
The money power as represented
by the trusts is the enemy of true
Democracy and true Democracy is
the enemy of the MONEY power, and
between the two there is going TO be
a gigantic contest in the next cam
paign and, therefore, a candidate for
President on the Democratic ticke
who had access to the vaults of the
money kings would be a monstrosity
and not a representative of the party

his keeping. Democrats want no such
candidate. They want no victory o
under such conditions, for the term
victory would be a misnomer, a mere
tinkling of symbals and sounding of
brass, with nothing substantial in it.
Manhood would be subordinated, cour-
age would be Knocked, liberty would b.
insulted, patriotism would be de-
hroned, and trusts would continue to
rob and grow more arrogant and bow
to the threats of the dollar plutocrats.

The State also provides industrial
training for girls at the Normal and
Industrial college at Greensboro. Its
nilsson is primarily to teach, how to
sew, how to make butter, and other
things that a woman should know
as a b~read-winner or a wife and
mother. 1t would be absurd to teach
these branches without at the same
time imparting a good education to the
young women. But the education is
secondary to p~edagogics and indus
trial instruction. The industrial edu-
cation therefore that is needed for a
young man and a young woman il
very different-in fact radically diff
i ferent-while it is identical for those
who are studying Latin, Greek and
English. This difference is the object
ton to opening the Agricultural and
Mechanical College to women, or the
State Normal and Industrial College tC
men. If the objection is no valid
then two colleges should be combined
under one management at one place
The expense of two separate institu.
