REPORTER WORTH A MILLION,
Now Editor aud Proprietor Of The Jersey
City Journal

Col. Sheffield Phelps, owner Of the
Jersey City Journal, was the richest |
newspaper man In America several
years ago. From his father, the late
William Walter Phelps, he inherited
fortune Of several millions, and under
his active and practical management
he made his newspaper the foremost
Journal of the State
At the end Of his first year he was
bitterly attacked by his political enc
mics, who brought libel suits for many
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
against him, but be won easily In the
courts. Since then he has been pow
erful political factor In Hudson Coun-
ty, and his course has been signally In
dorsed by Gov. voorhees,.
The Colonel, whose title comes from
appointment on the staff OF Gov.
Grlggs, lives in one of the snowy places
Of the State, directly opposite New
York City on the crest Of the Pail
sades. The family estate comprises
more than 1900 acres. 1t is probably
the costliest farm in America. The
land is worth in the neighborhood or
100000 for building purposes.
After his graduation from Yale, ia
1886. Col. Phelps began active news
paper work as a reporter on the World
Mt New York. Later he became an ed
ltorial writer on the Mail and Express,
and afterward filed the position Of act
ing managing editoron the same paper.
Once, while on the World staff, he
was sent to report the wedding of the
daughter of a Wall street man recently
from the West. The reporters were
met at the front door by trained SER
want, who quickly separated them from
the guests and led them to the hosts
private room, where the banker met
them in person, and gave them type
written slips containing the Informal
ton they were sent for. Then cham
payne was opened, and the banker tool
some cigars from q drawer in his desk.

Travellers who have returned from
the heart of Africa and the Australian
continent, tell wonderful stories Of
nest-building people who inhabit the
wilds of those countries.
In the bushmen Of Australia we find
perhaps the lowest order of men that
are known. They are so primitive that
they do not know enough to build even
the simplest form of huts for shelter.
The nearest they could approach to
It is to gather a lot of twigs and grass,
and taking them into thicket or jun
Gle. they build a nest for a home,
much az does a bird. The nest is usu-
ally built large enough for the family,
and if the latter be very numerous then
the nests are of a very large size.
Into this place they all turn and
snuggle and curl up together like so
many kittens. Sometimes the foliage
will grow together and form sort of
natural covering, but there is never
any attempt at constructing a protec-
ton from the rain and storms, and II
is a marvel how they endure them.
Where there is a particularly good
piece of jungle for home sites it viii
be quickly appropriated for the pur
pose. and sometimes hundreds of these
nests will be found together in tho
bush, as it is called.

and heaping the responsibility upon him
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the apprOpria-
ton had the courage and manhood to
stand firm for the children of the State.
The time is not far distant when the
man who goes before the people of North
Carolina will not dare oppose public
education, if he does he Will surely be
buried in obscurity.
Our State institutions of learning are
doing better work and their influence
is more far coaching than at any time
in our past history.
Our University reaches the poor boys
as it has never done before. It's presi-
dent is a warm friend of public schools.
The State Normal and Industrial Col
lege is giving life and inspiration to ed
ucational work. Its students are to be
found in almost every county in the en-
tire State. These girls are always found
to be on the side of public education.
The A. and NJ. College has recently
had a new president elected. DR. Geo.
II. Winston will give new life and make
this institution second to none of it's
kind in the South.
We have splendid UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges. Trinity College, Durham, is, per-
haps, the best equipped college of the
South. Wake Forest College has a
large endowment and good buildings.
This institution is known far and wide
for its good work and usefulness. DAY.
idson College rs a most excellent insti-
tuition Like Wake Forest 1t has had
long years of usefulness. Guilford Col
lege, Catawba College, Elon College and
several others are doing good work, and
are blessing to the State as well as the
church.
Our high schools and academies form
an important part of our educational
system. These schools prepare about
30 per cent of our public school, teach
ers-hence their Importance to the pub
lie schools. They reach the dark cor
ners of our State as no other schools
do, by giving inspiration and a desire for
knowledge to young men and women.
They send numbers of these men and
women to college who otherwise would
never see the college or University.
N conclusion l will say there is no
longer need for persons to pass North
Carolina by on account of lack of in
terest in education. In our higher i'm
situations of learning and our high
schools and academies we can and do
most excellent work, in our public
schools we are making some progress
and as our funds increase we will in
crease in efficiency among our teachers.
We who are engaged in educational
work have great reason to thank God
and take courage.
l have not mentioned the work among
our colored people in this article for want
of time. Much good is being done among
these people, much toll and much sacri-
fee are being made by some of these
people to better their own condition,
both mentally and morally.

This warehouse, which has but recent
Iy been built, is amply commodious, be-
ing S2x100 feet in dimensions. 1t is
well lighted and has every facility for
the successful sales of tobacco. 1t has
grown to be largely patronized by the
farmers. The proprietors expect to sell
a large portion of the crop of Granville,
Franklin and Wake counties this season.
Two well known and experienced men
compose the proprietorship of the Eagle
Warehouse, they being Mr.. Simpson
Dean and J. o. Beasley. The former
of these two gentlemen has had an ex-
perience of eighteen years, most of which
was spent at Henderson. The latter has
been in the leaf business only one year.
but he is one of the largest tobacco
growers of Franklin county, of which he
is native He also owns large tobacco
farms in Granville and Vance coun-
ties.
These gentlemen will use every in
ducement possible to build up the mar

the high estimation in which they are
held.

UP the tobacco market and is one of the
main props to the present solidity of the

in the handling of tobacco in every way
and thoroughly understand every detail

largest buyers of the market, and are
prepared to handle tobacco by steam or
natural season for the trade They have
but recently built a large stemmery
which has every requisite facility and a
capacity of three million pounds per
year. These gentlemen are well suited
to conduct the large aud important es-
adjustment with every year increased
success and growing consequence. They
possess the attributes of successful BUSH

rectness added thereto. We take Just

was born slave in CabarrlIs county,
\. c., March 25th, 1S49. Not being
recognized by his father or step father
he took the name of his master Coleman
who was at one time Attorney General Of
the State and quite prominent man.
His boyhoOd was uneventful except that
he learned the shOe-makers trade and
pursued the same to some extent in the
interest of the Confederate cause He
was a minor at the emancipation and on
reaching his majority engaged himself
variously in trading and peddling with
varying results; all the while evincing
an insight into business methods that
was sure to gain success. One of his first
ventures was to set up a barber shop in
connection with a bakery and of course
he made a success of it. Perseverance
has been a prominent characteristic of
the man and this coupled with trust
worthy intelligence has brought him his
success in life. At the suggestion of his
former young master he entered Howard
University in 1873. He had very little
means and he was therefore necessitated
to support himself by extra service ON the
grounds. This he did by selling iewelry
and various other articles. He remain
ed at the University one year and made
marked progress in his studies. On re-
turning to Concord he engaged in a small
way in the mercantile business and at
once entered upon a career that was to
make him the wealthiest negro in the
State and one of the most widely known
in america
