the PHESS.

The North Carolina Press Association
will meet at Carolina Beach on tomor-
row. 1t is understood that the at
tendance will be unusually large. The
Messenger hopes hat the occasion will
be every way propitious, that the
weather will prove delightful, that the
charm of beholding the wondrous ocean
in all of it's grandeur and majesty may
enlarge ideas and stir the noblest i'm
purities of the soul The State Press
has it in it's power to greatly improve
the tone and impress of journalism on
the State. The editors of North Caro-
lima in critical times have proved faith
full sentinels upon the walls and watch
towers of civil liberty and the peoples
rights. They r on the outposts in
peace and in war-'doth an eternal
vigil keep"-and are seed-sowers from
January to December. Unlike the po-
litica1 and office-seekers
daily journalists 312 days in each re-
volving year. They keep the fires of
liberty burning and are always on the
outlook for the enemies of their coun-
try, seeking to guard we'll the peoples
sacred interests, ito prevent the Long
aimed blow against the constitution
the very palladium of liberty, and
even tyranny raises it's accused head
to strike to crush the monster. The
cause of the people, often in peril, is
sometimes staggering under an uncong-
man pressure and combined force, but
the faithful press remains steadfast
and faithful still, "unrnoved, unseduc-
ed" and remembering how precious
truth and conscience and liberty itself
are, it says
"IH yet follow
The wounded chance of Antony, though
reason
Sits in the wind against me-"
Fidelity to the people, the constitu-
ton, the state, the best convictions of
manhood will in the end win the ap-
prevail of conscience and the plaudits
of the virtuous and the true to endure,
to be 'ftrue-fxed" and with resting
quality will bring their own great n
comforting reward An Independent,
faithful, answering, enlightened press
is the great bulwark of the people, the

AN ED ADVANCE IN HDUCA-
TON.

We have seen recently mentioned I'M
two northern newspapers that "coed u-
cation of the sexes was finally fixed in
the south. We hope this is not true.
If true, then it is the outcome of the
same tendency in the south to blindly
copy the bad educational plans and
theories in the north. The south is prime
to inritate the north far too much. I've
have seen his in the legislature and
law codes, socalled religious fads, in
brutal amusements, in the divorce malta
and in putting young men and women
in the same schools Educate the girls
and educate them we'll. 1t is not THE
that since 1866. their needs as TO eduh-
ton have not been as promptly met as
in the case Of the boys. In fact, upto
to a. few years ago, female education
led in North Carolina There was BIT
ter provision made as to menta training
and furniture for the girls than for tie
boys. We easily recall when in evfy
town perhaps in the state h edu4-
ton Of the boys was neglected muh,
while the girls We're particularly fay
ored. The thing to be done as we hdi;
is not to turn all of the youths in 1ae
same schools. but to provide the Wy
best possible education for the gits.
All around the state there are INV
many high schools and colleges for he
girls. The Baptists are about to sttrt
an university for their girls, while thy
have provided no university for thir
boys. If it is necessary to do SO let IN
university for the girls be built nd
equipped according to advanced e-
mands- In no respect neglect thin.
But do not turn male institutions ito
girl institutions. Keep the sexes seHr-
ate. Civ each the best instituths
and when possible let women teach he
girls.
The more we have inquired into lis
commingling of the girls and boyAn
high schools and colleges and uniyai-
ties the more We recoil from the PIN.

COL. BRYAN A. AN ORATOR.

We v saw Colonel Bryan and
Know, THEREFORE, nothing of his oratory
beyond reports. His campaigning has
had no equal in this country. He is
beyond any fair doubt a man Of most
remarkable resource and readiness and
-adaptability. We have read several
speeches of his hat impressed us as
~excellent-in tact, in vigor, in ampli-
tude Of statement, in fullness of in
formation, in richness of comparison
and illustration. No but one or two
have particularly struck us for. rhetor-
Ical cleverness with climactric passages
BUT those who have heard him who
Were not prejudiced against him have
admitted his fine ability as a speaker.
1t is nonsense to try Ito underrate and
ridicule him as a campaigner and ora
tor after more than three years of con
zStant speaking. He had made a dis
Iinguished mark in the congress before
he was heard in that most remarkable
speech at Chicago in 1896. He has
been called upon SO often that none
but a man of extraordinary gifts and
resources could have stood the tax
upon him, mentally and physically. He
has lost nothing by his hundreds of
speeches, but has held his popularity
with wonderful tenacity and rather
gained in reputation by the fertility
and many-sidedness of his intellectual
displays. No man in American history
has ever been called upon to bear such
a protracted and repeated list of pow
ers as a public speaker. Of course the
organs Of the honey power and the
tooters Of the brab-all trusts have
poked at him jibs and insults but
they have fallen powerless before the
strength and elevation of his charac-
ter, and the rich funds of the man..
Mr.. Bryan has just been speaking at
or three places in Georgia. 1t
furnishes the Atlanta Constitution with
"a good opportunity to discuss him as to
~oratory." This is done finely, and we
may not doubt, justly and aptly. 1t
claims for him that he franks as one
of the most fluen and effective ora
tors on the public stage of today" 1t
says, and, we suppose, his millions of
hearers, will indorse the opinion:
"It is small wonder that with his
magnificent qualities of leadership and
1he righteousness of the cause that he
champions, combined with his vital and
unusual eloquence, he has succeeded in
creating an immense and devoted fol-
lowing in the United States. To
the man who has heard the average
stump speaker, Mr.. Bryan's %eloquence

didate, and who cannot repeat some of
the utterances which gave them to the
world. You can pick up q newspaper
and read a speech by this same indi-
vidual, and you will find that not an
atom of the fire and stimulating pro-
perties has been lost by their transfer
to paper. You read, and are electrified
and enthused just as though the author
was pleading in his most sonorous
tones, and you were occupying a front
seat drinking in his marvellous elo-
,uuence."
