The professions, law, medicine, di-

says President Harper, but this should
not deter young men from attending

The Richmond NeUS thinks it "re-

markable as a journalistic stroke, as

What is the cure for the lynching
mania? The Lord only knows. Sol
diers are nothing but men, with like
passions and feelings as their brothers
who make up the mass Of mankind,
and cannot be relied on to suppress
righteous indignation" The eloquent
tongue will not control an aroused
community, nor will men of influence
be of force, when human passions are
swept by storm. Lynching is all
wrong, but who can correct it?
Speedy trial and certain punishment,
say most men, but the trouble is there
are times when legal speed is too slow
and judicial certainty is too uncertain.

The argument that we do not need a
new constitution will not hold.
The argument that we can get it
without calling convention has not
been sustained.
The implication that the people are
less to be trusted now than they were
in the days of the carpet baggers car
ries its condemnation in itself.
The whole question is simply
whether or not the Democratic voters
are going TO let the e-holders take
charge of everything. Norfolk Land

Some writer is guilty of the folly of
writing that poor folks ought not to
marry. Another makes this reply:
Poverty is the mother-in-law of pro-
gress." So the poor groom is blessed
with two mothers-in-law. Fortunate
poor folks.

Not a Candidate for Vice President

Milwaukee, Wis, January -Henry
c. Payne. national republican commit
teernan of Wisconsin today, received a
letter from Secretary Of War Root, in
which the latter states that he is not
and will not be a candidate for the vice
presidency of the United States. In
his letter, Mr.. Root expresses the belief
that it is far more important to the
country, the administration, and the
republican party, at this time that he
should continue to attend to the bust
ness of the war office, not hat there
are not plenty of other men who could
well discharge the duties of secretary of
war, but having spent five or six
months in becoming familiar with the
subject, no other man could step in
and take up the work without going
through the same training.

HOW DIVORCE AFFECTS THE
NORTH.

The marriage contract in parts of the
north is said to be very loose and is
growing feebler. The results are re-
ported to be very unfavorable to pu-
rity of life, to chastity. This is lament
able and destructive. Violate the homes
and there is nothing ito build on. A
people without virtue are a people
without greatness, for they have no
high, ideal standards to aspire to and
to measure by. The sanctity of home
life, the purity of h women are abso-
lutely basic. Destroy that and you de-
grade the race. The New York Pres
byterian Cor is it Philadelphia) says
public attention is being called just
now to h weakening of the marital
relation and to fragrant violations Of
chastity. The marriage contract sits
loosely upon many who have solemnly
formed it. Divorces are all too fire.
quent, while those who have violated
their matrimonial obligations are given
too much recognition in society. The
moral conscience of h community
shows signs of deterioration in condon-
ing crimes against the home. The pa

the part of men and women Of whom
better things are expected. In
attacking MormoniSm, We must not
overlook the rising tide of loose mar
riage ties and increasing immortality.
We must fight, not only the emisSaries
of the Utah iniquity, but all the agents
of vice, who are destroying the purity
Of the family and h morality of the
citizen Our nation cannot long hold
together if We allow divorce. sensual
ity. impurity and immortality to hold
unresisted sway"
We saw it mentioned lately that in
Norfolk, Va, divorces were scandal
lousy frequent They are growing so
in staid old North Carolina A low
cred public sentiment and legislators
who are neither wise nor believers in
Biblical teaching, are responsible for
the wide gap opened to make divorce
easy in this state. 1t is a great shame
and stigma The churches of every
name should move against these
abuses. They are far worse than
Mormonism for they are at home, in
our towns and counties and state.

wives and three separate homes for

seek divorces. Put up the bars.

The able Reidsville Webster's Week
ly is handling The Biblical Recorder
for its assaults upon the State Normal.
We quote:
1.-The Biblical Recorder, the leader Of
the opposition to the states institu-
ftions of higher education-the UnIver-
Sity, the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, and the Normal and Industrial
college-never loses an opportunity OF
speaking a word calculated to insure
the influence and usefulness of those
institutions. Knowing it's spirit and
purpose from it's utterances of the past
few years, we were prepared to see it
seize upon the awful calamity which
recently befell the State Normal and
Industrial college and use it to poison
the minds of it's readers against the
management of that institution. The
Presbyterian Standard cannot under
stand the spirit that would make cap
ital out OF such a ~heart-rending af-
Fiction"

HOME FOLKS.

The towns with dispensaries made a
very creditable showing in behalf OF
morality and sobriety during the
Christmas holidays. The Presbyterian
Standard says of Charlotte: THE row.
dyism and drunkenness in this city on
Christmas day has beer widely noted.
Fifty cases before h mayors court
on the following day, tell h tale. The
saloons were in full blast n many OF
the victims of drunkenness were boys.
The very air reeked with filth and pro-
family" In contrast the Monroe En-
quired says, and il has a dispensary
was closed on Christmas: There
was absolutely no rowdyism, hardly
any intoxication and no debauchery
here. Monroe has a ~dispensary, Char
lotte has a large number OF saloons"

that the negroes in his part of Will
mington were drunken and boisterous.

Chairman Simmons has been at
Charlotte and talks to the Observer,
saying that the campaign had already
begun. He is thus reported:
BY the end of this month our or
g~anization will be in good working
condition. 1 am exceedingly gratified
at the reports from all the counties
where meetings have been held.
I'VE will m this campaign
earlier because the election comes
earlier and because 1t was discovered
that the republicans, through the rev.
enue officers, were very active in their
efforts to deceive and mislead the peo-
pie. Their tactics are the same as in
the last campaign-falsehood and mis-
representation.
There is no danger in this kind Of
campaign, provided their falsehoods
are exposed. Methods have been adopt
ed which will enable us effectively, to
expose and dispose of this disreputable
scheme of political warfare"

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Wen begin with n hoH, and ihe plural Is boxes,
But the plural OF oN should be oxen; not oxes; ;
Then one fowl is goose, but two are called
geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never he mocsc; ;
You may find lone mouse, or a whole nest Of
mice,
But the plural of house is houses not hico;
Ii the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in the plural may he cows on kline,
But the plural OF vow is VOWS, not vine
And ii I speak of loot and you show me yonr
feet.
And give YOU boot, would a pair he called
beet!
If one is tooth and whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural o booth be called
beethI
Ii the singular's this and the plural is these,
Should the plural OF kiss be nicknanled keese?
Then one may be that and three would be those,
Yet hat in plural would never be hose,
And the plural OF eat Is cats, not cose,
We speak OF a brother and also OF brethren.
But though We say mother we never say methren;
Then masculine pronouns are he, his, and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shiS and SHIN.
SO the English, think, you all will agree,
Is the most wonderful language you ever did see.
