AS a business man his career has
been one OF phenomenal success and
wherever flowers bloom and mockng

evangelist, orator, known in every
state OF the Union. He has preached
10 the people OF this country, and II Is
stated that more than one-half OF the
population Of America and Canada are
familiar with the sound of his voice.
These two distinguished gentlemen
dined aboard our private car today and
thus IL can be seen that the represent
atives OF the New England Newspaper
league are enjoying the society OF the
very best people OF the South, both
from a financial and a Cody stand
point.
When this tour OF Dixie was first
announced in Boston and the news
went abroad. Col. Carr was one OF the
first TO realize its fun meaning. and
within three days after the first an
nouncement he telegraphed his hearty
endorsement OF the tour appeared In
New England, offering TO cooperate in
every possible way 10 the end that the

terested.
When passing through the Old North
state three weeks ago, a second dis
patch was received from Col. Carr. IL
was dated New York, and in IL he eX-
planned that he was unavoidably de-
talned in the East on a very import
ant business mission, and requested
that our visit 10 his home city, Dur
ham, be postponed until he could be on
hand 10 greet us.
Thus II can be seen that the meeting
here I'm Birmingham was pleasant an
the extreme.
We have given Col. Carr assurance
that our party will again visit the Old
North state before ending our tour. We
have told him that the story or her
resources, her advancement and her
material wealth will be written down
In the papers OF the New England
Newspaper league. He mas agreed 10
Join our party and become our guest
aboard our private car and assist us IN
every way possible on our return TO the
Tar Heel state.
In this connection II is most assured
ly eminently proper TO state that the
assistance of so distinguished son or
Dixie in our work is more than appre-
clated by every member of our party.
IL Is proper to state that such consid-

worthy OF the highest praise and high

He spoke upon the advantages OF or

NO ARBoR DAY OBSERVANCE.
School Committee tgan Finds Itself Without
funds 10 DsYols 10 That Purpose.

The same difficulty that presented
itself 10 the school committee last year
in relation to the observance of Arbor
Day is once again TO the fore, ana
there are no funds with which TO cele-
brate the day as IL has been celebrated
in the past. Last year the day was
observed owing to the fact that some
of the schools managed 10 get up some
sort Of a celebration, and this year II is
probable that something OF the same
kind will be done.
AS To the details OF any observance
that may be arranged by the schoolF,
not much can be said at the present
time. but IL is not improbable that the
grammar schools and the high schoois
will combine on something. There are
three grammar schools in the city that
have never passed through the dellsnt-
full experience of planting tree at the
park. They are the Broad street, the
Messer street and the Roosevelt street
Ii is proposed that each OF the three
this year shall plant tree. AS 10 the
other grammar schools. there Is not
so much certainty Probably the Clas-
sical English and Hope street high
schools will do something TO celebrate.
The Manual Training school has quite
a novel plan, according to Principal
Weston. In the Photographic ard
chemical department Of the school the
pupils have been accustomed TO 90
work i'm etching on zinc They have at
ready done considerable i'm the way OF
etching the names of various kinds OF
trees on zinc plates and are making
the plates more or less ornamental.
They are also getting some practice, in
one or two trips out into the country.
in picking out the varities OF trees.
on Arbor Day II is expected that they
will make an extensive excursion and
will pick out and label trees with the
plates that they have been preparing.
The day occurs on Friday. May IL.

forty negroes are in the Pulaski county
Jail tonight as n result Of a concerted
effort on the part of the authorities to
run down the men who n few days *
committed assaults on five white wo-
men in this city. Edward Wright was
positively identified today by Mrs. Ken
nedy as her a%ssailant and was held for
the grand jury without bail. Every
precaution has been taken to prevent
a lynching.
A large mass meeting of negroes is
being held tonight. The meeting was
called by leading negroes who are en-
deavoring to help run down and pun
ish the guilty parties. They are oppos-
ed TO lynching, but are anxious to see
the guilty ones legally punished.
The wholesale arrests today caused
much excitement among a certain class
of negroes. Dealers today say their
sale of arms and ammunition has been
unprecedented, the majority of sales
being made to negroes.

VERY SENSIBLE

While some foolish negroes are per-
ecuting Booker Washington because Of
his sensible, wise, statesmanlike views,
there are many of his race who revere
and honor him. He is beyond doubt
the wisest, best balanced man of his
race in America. There are scattered
around the country negroes of intelli-
gence and character who see the situa-
ton from a practical, judicious stand
ing-point. One OF those is the preSi-
len of the agricultural and mechanical
college in Alabama for negroes. In Q
recent address at Bismarck, Kansas, he
gave his race admirable advice. He
said to them:
"Colored men OF the north make a
great mistake in abusing the south
They forget that the south was the
ante-room in which their fathers ex-
changed the clout of the barbarian for
the dress OF civilization-the blessed
ante-roon in which 1900, 600 miserable
savages were changed into 4,OOO,0 900 in
tent in which 100000 OF fetish wor-
shippers were transformed into 4,OOO,O 600
Of Christian citizens Of one Of the most
powerful governments Of the age. Let
the south alone, and look to your own
neglected opportunities and correct your
own wrongs. We of the south thank
you for your strong sympathy, but, my
friends, do not forget yourselves"

The Dreyfus case may result with
disaster to him, but the intelligent
world at large will exonerate him while
the real disaster will befall France. It
is a trial of disgrace to all concerned
in the prosecution. The immolation of
a brave and innocent soldier by a
band of conspirators fixes a deep stain
of guilt upon the nation. France can
not live down the disgrace in an humid
red years. Captain Dreyfus was made
a victim of his race and that but deep
ems the stigma and makes it the more
ineffaceable. The conspiratOrs are bold
and desperate, while honest men are
speaking out in manly tones for the
prosecuted and maligned defendant.
Germany should speak and turn on the
light. The Washington Post says:
There seems to be no question that
Major Won SchwarZkOppen, the Ger
man military attache, received the pa
pers enumerated in the bordereeu, and
that he sent them to Berlin. He knows
therefore, and so does the German gov
eminent, the name of the traitor who
furnished them. OF course, it is asking
much to require of a civilized govern
ment to admit that it has been engaged
in abusing the hospitality Of a presum-
ably friendly nation, and corrupting
trusted agents. Nothing more indecent
and contemplate can be imagined. But
the whole world knows by this time
that the vile and vicious thing was
done, and most people know that such
denominations are a recognized feature
Of European diplomacy"

There is news from Rennes that the

meant only to dismiss him from the
army. The correspondent OF the New
