A historic TOWER.
The Famous Landmark on Leith Hill
IL Being Put In Good
Repair.

The famous tower on the summit OF
Leith hill is undergoing q much-needed
renovation. The tower has occupied
its present position for 134 years. 1t
was erected in 1776 by Richard Hull.
81 Leith Hill place, who selected the
exposed position as his burying-place.
and his remains were, on his death in
l772. inferred beneath the tower. Sub
sequently portion of the interior was
filled with stone and cement. and the
entrance blocked. In 1864, however, the
lord OF the manor determined to re-
store 1t to its original purpose of
prospect tower. The solid cement. how
ever, cannot be pierced and in order to
overcome the difficulty an outer tur.
ret for the staircase had to be built.
Since that time many thousands of
holiday-makers have ascended it for
the more extensive view gained from
its parapet. The building and the re-
construction are each commemorated
by stones bearing Inscriptions in Latin
inserted in the brickwork over the
door.
The height Of Leith hill is 965 feet.
and the tower renders the view one
from a height of 1000 feet-the high
est point in the southeastern counties.
This renders possible a more extend
ed view than from almost any point
near London, reaching from the long
line OF the South Downs to Dunsta BILE
Downs, in Bedfordshire-a prospect
embracing many counties and COM
puted by some as a district 200 miles

HAL AND JIM MUST 60,

1t would be an interesting sight to
have two X-ray snap shots of the
mind of vice. hartman Hallelu iah All
portraying these two incidents in his
political career:
/. Showing him standing by the bal
lot box in the year 1896 voting for the
negro James IL. Young for the Legis
lature against his benefactor, Need
ham b. Broughton.
,. Showing him in the Populis'
State convention advocating a plank
to disqualify from holding office "ail
negroes and all persons of negro de
scent to the third generation inclr.
sive."
What the X-ray would disclose
would be this sentiment which guides

HOPPER HAS NO RIVAL
He is InimitabIe and the On
Iy Original.
Just Back From London. OeWof Hopper Will
Present The CharIatan' in Raleigh
on The Second of May.

Dc Wolf Hopper, just back from
London, will appear at the. Academy
of Music Wednesday, May 2nd, in
Sousa and Klein's comic opera, The
Charlatan." Hoppers personal ri.
umph in London was enormous, and
he will be seen here with his entire
London cast. No American who has
gone abroad in recent years met with
so great a success, and who was the
recipient of SO many honors. Hop
per's abilities a a fun-maker, as Il
singer, and curtain speaker made
his exceedingly popular. His speech
es at the numerous banquets which
he attended or which were given III
his honor, served to stamp him as one
OF the papers said, las being man
OF sense and of parts as we'll as OF
size. The farewell given him on his
last night at the Shaftesbury Theatre
will long be remembered as being one
of the most tumultuous God speeds"
witnessed in London playhouse in
recent years, if ever. When Hopper
appears at the Academy of Music the
citizens of this town will have oppor-
tunity of hearing one of those inimita-
bic talks which have served to make
the comedian famous. No actor on
the English or American stage has
ever approached Hopper in this par
ticular. Charles Matthews was a
ready talller, as were Garrick and
kean, but there is in Hopper's dis
courses a ready wit and happiness
of expression that none of these pos
sessed in so great Il measure.
Londoners found ''The Charlatan"
exactly to their taste, and it may be
said that Hopper has inserted in it
some new numbers and business that
add greatly TO its effectiveness. This
is exactly what Hopper did with ''El.
Captain After the first few months
it was vastly different affair than
what it was on the first presentation
Mr.. Hopper and Miss Mackay have a
bit of pantomime in the second act
which was Il great hit in London, as it
will be when seen here.
Mr.. Hopper brings from London
with him an excellent company of
principals and a chorus which abso-
lutely staggered the English with its
beauty and vivacity. Hopper is the
one American star who has never
surrounded himself with an inefficient
support. He has always had the very
best talent obtainable. Miss Jessie
Mackaye has proven regular find"
as Il dainty little comedienne. One
year ago Miss Mackaye was practical
~ unknown. Now everybody knows
that all London proclaimed her the
cleverest and most bewitching little
actress seen there in decade Others
of Mr.. HOpper's support are well
known. Henry Norman, who long
ago made himself famous singing the
''Bogy Man." and later with the
Casino successes: Halod Blake, one
OF the very best tenors o nthe Ameri-

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
AYCOCK AND EDUCATION.

Greensboro Telegram.
We have never heard a political
speech pitched upon a higher plane
nor one which appealed more for all
the better things lor which thinking
men ought to stand in the State to-
day. that that one made in Guilford
court house last night by Chas. Is.
Aycock. 1t was digest of his more
elaborate speeches, and withal uttered
so earnestly, SO directly and without
the thrills of partisan language. that
it must needs be remembered by all
who heard it. Nothing in this can
vass will be more grand than was the
speaker, when pledging himself and
fellow candidates as the champions
above all things of the constitutional
amendment. but declared that they
stood for and opened the way for
liberty of thought, liberty of speech
and liberty of action in North Caro-
lima" and that they sought to usher
in the day when the heartburnings
and bitterness of a campaign, such as
we have been compelled to wage will
be of the past and buried with the
condition that produced the necessity.
His pledges to the cause of education
were hardly less grand.
In one particular Mr.. Aycock has
taken maSnificentlY forward step,
and he pressed it with a persistency
that challenges the admiration of all
men. His stand upon this particular
point of the amendment Is all the
more charming because it has been
taken. up by the opponents Of the
amendments as Il Vulnera bic spot.
The point is that made by che Repub-
Leans that after 1908. not even white
men who come of age can vote I'M
less they have the educational quail
cation. SO far from being afraid of
this Mr.. Aycock bodily meets it by the
proposition that the boys must learn
to read and write. They must and
will do it. he says, and this will create
such an educational awakening in the
State as will next to revolutionize it.
Thus he couples with the appeal for
the amendent no less earnest and
emphatic one for popular education.
1t is a disgrace to us that in the blaze
of the present civilization of the world
it is necessary to make such an APP
peal. But it is necessary. and it is
fortunate that we are compelled to
make it this year instead of later.
to So this campaign will as much
for the cause of education as for any
thing else. Indeed. we believe that
if Mr.. Aycocll is able to continue his
campaign and speak in every county
in the State it will be of the greatest
single impetus to- the cause of pop
udar education that has ever come to
us.

Not one of these so-called Populists,
like Aver, who voted for negroes and
who put 1000 negro magistrates upon
the people of North Carolina, have
any regrets for their action. They re-
greet only that it aroused the people
to see their unfitness for office. am.
now in the same spirit of insincerlty
they pretend to advocate an office
holding disqualification for negroes.
That won't do. Mr.. Hallelujah. The
white folks intend to make it equally
impossible for you and jim Young,
for whom you voted, to hoid othce IN
North Carolina. They are tired OF

IT RINGS RIGHT.

There isn't five-year-old boy in
North Carolina who does not know
that the Republican machine and the
PopuIist machine are like the Siamese
twins.
The two parties in their origin,
platforms and declaration of prin:i
pies are as radically and as far apart
as it is possible for two political par
ties 20 differ. One is for the gold
standard, the other against it; one is
for trusts, the other against them;
one for the favoritism of protection,
the other against special privileges:
one is for Imperialism. the other
against it: one is for rule by the
classes, the other for role by the
masses: one is for negro postmasters
and negro magistrates, the other
against it-and thus it goes all the
way through the platform and party
declarations. Without a total sacri-
fee of honor and surrender Of prin-
ciples. there can be nothing but hos
tility between the Republican and
Populist parties.
And vet, what do we see in North
Carolina? The oftice-hoders of these
two antagonistic parties, meeting in
Senator Pritchard's committee roora
in Washington city, and agreeing
upon line, of action by which they
can jointly get control of North Caro-
lima. In pursuance of that agreement.
we find the Populist convention nomi-
mating State ticket composed of
Populists. every one of whom owes his
office to the solid negro vote except
one. and his wife got the position of
postmaster from Mckinley by virtue
of his support of Pritchard for re-
election to the Senate. That's the
stalking horse ticket put out at tine
direction of Pritchard and the other
Fusion office holders. 1t will stay
up or come down as the pie-eaters
think will best serve as a decov duck
for unsuspecting white folks. Cali

THEY DIDN'T DARE.

The Messenger and Intelligencer
knows of many Populists in this
county who have already sgnifed
their intention of voting for the
amendment, and it believes that be-
fore the election all of them, except
some ten or fifteen, who are practi-
cally Republicans, will do so-Wades-
boro Messenger and Intellingencer.
The Populist leaders, who while
criticizing the constitutional amend
ment, were particular to declare III
their platform, I'VE DO NOT MAXI
IT A PARTY QUESTION" knew the
existence of the sentiment of which
our Wadesboro contemporary speaks.
They were forced to put that declara-
ton in the platform by the rank and
file of the party, but the cunning
writer's of the platform prefaced it by
as arrant lot of falsehoodS and mis-
representations as were ever embodied
in a political document. Still, with all
their falsehoods, they did not dare
make the constitutional amendment a
party question because they knew it
would cost them the vote of most of
their white men in Eastern North
Carolina to make opposition to the
amendment a test of party fealty. In
order not to drive off the best class of
their voters they were careful to en-
phasize this fact. Here are the decla-
rations:
/. 1t must be determined by the
Judgment and conscience of each in

Here are three declarations that are
put in to hold the honest Populis's
who believe in White Supremacy, but
it is now the purpose of Butler, Aver,
Thompson. Garrett, Peace, and the
rest of the Fusionists who hold State
or Federal jobs. to try to whip the
White Supremacy Populists into line
to vote against the amendment. But
Arson and other counties the Pop,
lists who believe more in principle
than in office are going to vote to re-
move the ''nigger question from
politics, and they know that it can be
done only by the passage of the
amendment. They know, also, that
Butler & Co., are opposed to the
amendment because they depend upon
the solid negro vote for their election

amendment "a party question. They
were forced to leave it to 1.-The judg-

ing themselves Populists, we do not
hesitate to assert that every man
named on the Populist State ticket
is under such obligations to the ne
groes and other Republicans that they
have already sacrificed the honor OF
their party and stand ready still
further to betray its principles if
thereby they can keep in or get in
office by means of the solid negro
vote.
That's the sort of ticket that Butler
wants to invite the Democrats to hold
a Joint debate with. On the first page
of today's paper we publish the CO..
respondence between Chairman Sim
mons and Chairman Butler. 1t rings
right Mr. Simmons points out that
the Populist convention took pains to
declare that the amendment is mot
a party question" and therefore no
issue is raised between the two par
ties. He then tells Butler in effect
that he is using the Populist party as
a decoy duck for the Republican par
tv, and that until the Popuiist party
quits being an annex to the> negro
party. the Democratic party cannot
consider it as a party. That's the
right sort of reply to make!
Butler has the promise of the solid
negro vote for the Senate if he can
induce enough white men to vote
with the negroes to carry the Legis-
lature and defeat the amendment 1t
would be Just to Buffers liking, and
in accordance with the Pritchard-Bu
Ter plan to have Mr.. Aycock and DR..
Thompson go about the State discuss
inc the difference between tweedie-
duin and tweedle-dee while the RepuD-
leans organize the solid negro vote
TO be cast with Buffers following to
restore the State again to negro rule.
But, though Butler sent an invitation
come into my parlor," Chairman
Simmons wisely, politely and firmly
declined the invitation. The Demo-
Gratis are not to be caught by such
poorly baited hooks.
