IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER.
Fayetteville Observer.l


Now that the Supreme Court has
decided who really compose the Board
of Agriculture, we suppose that the
board Will soon meet to transact their
important business which has been de-
layed by the obstructionists. One OF
the duties of the board is the election
of a Commissioner of Immigration for
North Carolina. BY energetic. earnest,
faithful work the position can be fill
ed in such a way as to become a great
factor in bringing into North Caro-
lima a desirable class of people who
will assist in its upbuilding. The trend
of all kinds of industries is southwark
at present. Allsthat is needed is faith
full work in bringing the advantages
Of North Carolina to the attention of
the world Our wonderful and vet
only partially developed resources
should interest home-seekers every

minerals, healthful climate. splendid
timber and farming lands are uncqu;.-
ed. And the well known conservatism
of our people. and the absence of ia
Dor and race troubles make North
Carolina n most attractive State. All
this being true, the election of the

sioner is very important. We hope

THE TEXTILE SCHOOL AT THE A. AND NJ
COLLEGE.

The determination of the trustees
of the Agricultural and MeehaEcal
College to establish textile depart-
ment has been widely applauded in
and out of the State. The House OF
Representatives. under the lead of Mr.
Heriot Clarkson, the progressive mem
Der from Mecklenburg. voted an APP
preparation to establish the Vance
Textile School. Afterwards it was
agreed by Mr.. GARRISON and others
that it would be best to establish the
school in connection with the \. and
NJ. College at Raleigh, but no appro-
priation was made for its establish
ment. The trustees, however, hope to
be able to have enough money out of
the regular appropriation to establish
the department where the theory can
be taught, leaving the practical to be
obtained by visits to the three excel
lent cotton mills accessible here.
Speaking of the step forward that has
been taken, the Manufacturers Rec
ord says:
THE reorganization committee OF th2
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College has determined to es-
tablish textile department in the in
stitution, and it is announced that there
are bright prospects for the establish
ment of thoroughly modern textile
school in connection with the college. In
arranging for such Il department as a
feature of the department of civil en-
cheering, the authorities of the college
are doing much to make certain the
founding of IA school which is much
needed in North Carolina, and which,
lit is recognized, will do much toward
increasing the efficiency of that State
as a cotton manufacturer. The friends
of the movement have apparently not
been discouraged by the failure of the
legislature to make the desired pro-
vision for it, and it is hoped that by the
next meeting of the lawmakers such
beginning shall have been made as to
make it Imperative upon them to give
it State support
We hope the trustees will cut deep
in all departments that are not me-
chanical or agricultural in order to
make the textile school as efficient as
possible. The college was established
primarily to make skilled farmers and
mechanics. Other departments are
auxiliary to the practical instruction
i'm farming and mechanics, and the
nearer the trustees keep the college in
the lines for which it was created, the
their policy will be approved.

GROWING OLD.

The talIcst lilies droop at cventide,
The sweetest roses fall from oil the
stem;
The rarest firing on earth cannot abide,
And we are passing, too away like
them:
We are growing old.
We had our dreams, those dreams o.
They faded, and twas well. This after
Has brought us fuller hopes; and yet,
forsOoth,
We drop tear, now in this later time,
To think we're old
We smile at those poor fancies of the
past
A saddened smile, almost akin to pam;
Those high desires, those purposes so
vast,
All, orr poor hearts. they cannot come
again.
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens are old; this
earth is, too;
Old wine is best, matured fruit most
sweet;
Much have we lost more gained, al
though it's true
We tread hfe's way with most uncertain
feet.
We're growing old.
We move alone, and scatter as we pass
Soft graces, tender hopes on every
hand;
At last, with gray -streaked hair and hal
low face
We step across the bOund'ry of the
land
Where none are old

NORTH CAROLINA'S CHANCES.
Manufacturers Record

NORTH CAROLINA'S CHANCES.
Manufacturers Record.
A vigorous agitation is being carried
on by the News and Observer of Raleigh
for the promotion of industrial life in
North Carolina. 1t takes the ground
that in view of the drift of manufac-
turing enterprises southwark and the
promise of that sections becoming the
seat of the textile industry in this coun-
try, it ought not to be difficult for North
Carolina towns to secure capital to de-
velop their natural opportunities. But
it insists that each community must
work out its own salvation by having
faith in itself. 1t says
Every town in the State ought to de-
vote its energies to increasing its manu-
featuring interests. Towns cannot grow
by swapping calico and sugar for cotton
and Tobacco. The town that goes for
ward must make something to sell
abroad. There are many small towns
that feel the need of new industries. but
cannot secure the capital to build on Il
large enough scale to make it profitable.
Here is Il plan that has succeeded else
where--it will succeed wherever tried.
In village of ten years ago the people
wanted to build a cotton factory, but
after raising all the money possible they
found that they could get only $4,000,
and they needed 100000. Did they
stop work because they could not III
themselves subscribe the desired sum!
Not at all. They put their $4,000 in
the bank. organized their company, and
sent their best business men to IA large
of
bonds. They brought par and they
were easily sold, too. The men who
bought the bonds were investors i'll Sc
curities. They held money in trust, and
while they were not warranted i'll taking
stock, they We're glad to invest in the
bonds The people of the village built
their 100000 factory, it paid them ~
per cent, the bondholders were delighted
to get per cent. and the Impetus given
to the village caused other industries
to spring up, and it began to grow until
now it is a large town and has two cot
ton factories and its population has
doubled"
These facts are in line with the long
time contention of the Manufacturers
Record, and with the. generally demon
strated principle that outside capital
helps them who help themselves. 1t
may be suggested, however, that the
efforts in North Carolina need not be
confined to advancing the textile inter
ests. There are all sorts of other indus
tries, great and small, which may be
brought to fourishing condition in
that State. They will be furthered just
as certainly as the people back up in
vestments of their own by insurng
equal security to investments made by
outsiders.

A NOBLE CONTRIBUTION.
CHARITY and Children.)

Dr. ID. r. Smithwick. of Louisburg,
who stands in the front rank among
North Carolina dentists, arrived at the
Orphanage last Thursday evening, and
at his own charges thoroughly examined
the teeth of the children of the Orphan
age, doing whatever work was neces-
sary to preserve them. This is one Of
the best and most unselfish contributions
we have ever had. 1t is very important
that the teeth be properly cared for,
but everybody knows we could not have
employed a dentist to come here and do
the work. We thank. DIR. Smithwick
with all our hearts for this great service
of love.

alone received S2,033.2S for their work

The strawberry receipts on Monday
from this place amounted to $3.50 crates,
beating all other records for one day in
North Carolina. Mount Olive shipped
one-third of the berries that left the Will
mington and Weldon district; twenty
one cars being required to handle one
days business. This place is probably
the largest strawberry shipping point in
the United States.

ALIEN AND SEDITION LAWS REVIVED.

The American born people, who look
at things as they are, aided by the
great German element of the popula-
ton who hate militarism. because
they know what evils follow in its
train, are standing earnestly against
the policy of imperialism in America,
They rejoice in Dcwey's wonderful vic
tory and every success of American
arms. but they protest with the vigor
of sincere men against war that is
now waged for unholy ends.
The action of the administration
in excluding Edward Atkinson's pam
phlets from the mails shows that the
administration is afraid of its policy.
Those pamphlets, even if endorsed by
the soldier, would do no harm. Nine
tenths of the men fighting around
Manila have written home their OPP
position to war, but they fight as
bravely as if they approved it.
Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die
