Professor d. p. Parho1n,

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-Prof. Darcy Paul Parhana, after re-
ceEvlng the degree Of P. II. B. from Johns
Hopkins University. has been elected to
the Chair of the English and Spanish lam
guages in the State University of. Florida
at Tallahassee. and will enter on its duties
in a few weeks.
He is the son Of Prof. e. E. Parham, at
one time a resident Of this city, and for
many years president of Wesleyan Fee
male College at Murfreesboro, N. c. A
teacher for more than fifty years. and
still engaged in that useful calling. and
during that long period has sent from the
school-room thousands of young ladies, all
of whom, I am sure. will. with one voice.
bear willing testimony to his faithfulness
and efficiency.
There must be something peculiarly re-
tuvenatins in the companlonship of young
girls.
Time In its unceasing march has in this
instance left but few tokens of its presence
AMI scarcely a wrinkle or. gray hair to
mark its progress. and this to my mind Is
exasperating and lacking in proper con-
sideration for the feelings OF those who
have approached very close to the sere and
yellow leaf and bear its manifest insignia
on our aeads and faces.

SAVE THE LANDMARKS.

We have a note from an esteemed cor
respondent in which he makes the follow
ing suggestion:

nounces that the contract has been let Tor
Il new courthouse al SpotsylI ania and that
two-thirds of the bricks now in the wall
around the court green are to be used in
the building. From this l infer that the
old courthouse IS to be torn down. Any
change in the landmarks here, it seems
to me, would be unfortunate, especially as
the establishment of q National Park
seems certain in the near future. The
court green is large, with fine shade trees
and a beautiful stand of blue grass. This
plot. and the present building could be
made the most attractive feature of the
National Park, and the United States Gov

acquire the property There is no diff
Guilty about obtaining suitable and con-
venient location for the new courthouse.
This subject is worthy of attention and
we commend it to the people of Spotsyl-
vania and their representative in Con-
greSS.

THE CASE MISUNDERSTOOD.

The extracts from the New York Sun
fncnted upon at the time, contain SO much
OF transcendant Importance to all the peo-
pie of this Union that we feel justified in
quoting them again and making still
further comment upon them. The first eX-
tract was as follows:
That group of States the old Southern
Confederacy) is practically distinct from
the rest OF the Union in being wholly UNI
influenced politically by the great ques-
tions of NATIONAL policy which divide pub
lie sentiment so sharply in all the other
States At the same time, however. intel
lisent Southern men have opinions on
these subjects no less decided than those
held elsewhere in the Union, but they are
restrained from giving them public and
,o,itical expression and usually from re-
yealing them even in private speech by the
pressure Of the intolerant sentiment about
them
Lamentabiy and unhappily it is only too
true that the authorities of what is called
the Democratic party of the Southern
states frame issues, and the only part of
the voters is to vote upon them as re-
CURED It is a total missioner, however,
to call this the Democratic party. 1t is
the white mans party in a division that
consists of the solid mass of ignorant.
brutal negroes upon one side and the white
.,eoplc upon the other. This division of the
population is forced upon the white people
Of the South by the Republican party of
the North. which stimulates and encour-
ages the negroes to remain in a solid body.
contesting with the white people the right
to control the political power Of each
locality and community. II the Republican
party Of the North would withdraw from
our politics and leave the negro alone.
their solid masses would soon dissolve,
and We should no longer have political
divisions based upon the color line. But
so long as the Republican party of the
North keeps the negro m solid combination
Axalnst thA whites. tbs uhitAs 1aU -

forced to remain In solid combinat ton
against the negro. and the condition OF
affairs which tho Sun has indicated Will
remain.
But the Sun must stand corrected in re-
spect to one cardinal error. The Intelligent
white men of the South who have their
own opinions are not prevented from ex-
pressing them by the intolerance of their
neIshbors, and they do express them
freely and Whenever they please. and no
effort is made by anybody to suppress
these expressions. They are prevented,
however, from voting as they wish, not
by the Intolerance of their nelghbors, but
by the awful shadow of this black. combl-
nation always hanging over them. Stick
a pin there, Mr.. Sun, and never forget it.
The second quotation from the Suns
editoria! was as follows:
1.-THE Southern States especially need to
command the approval and to convince
the Judgment of the Northern States by
their political policies and methods, be-
cause from the North comes the chief
part of the capital on which Southern in
dustries must depend for their develop
ment, and capital Is secured only by gain
ing its confidence through fair and wise
government and the elimination and de-
struction Of the sectional prejudice, Whlch
is only another name for provincial teeilhS-
It has no liberation for inherited preJu-
dices and enmities. for heart burnings over
lost cause but is afraid of them. 1t
demands first of all, harmony and a DOM
inant feeling of nationality. So lons.
therefore. as we have what is called the
Solid South or a group of States which
vote solidly on one side whatever the issue,
so that practically there is no political dis
cuss!on in them. the group sesregates it
self from the nation with results injurious
to itself and dangerous to the rest
That state Of the case. is perfectly recog-
nized in the South. We know that we
need Northern capital to develop our
latent resources, and we know that the
sine qua non of capital is peace, order and
security, but how, we ask the Sun, are
we to offer capital the conditions it asks
for SO long as the Republican party of the
North keeps the negroes in an organized
body of banditti to threaten the peace and
to disturb the order of every community
at all times? If the editor of the Sun We're
here. he would say as everyone of his
brother white men of the South says, eve
long for Northern capital and we long for
that condition of peace which invites it.
but we will see all our mines remain I'M
opened and our fields remain bare before
we will bow our necks to the negro yoke.
Anything, determination itself, Is prefer
able to that Let the Sun, instead of de-
nouncing us for dealing with conditions as
we find them, join the South in an effort
to condone the crime which the Suns
friends committed when they forced negro
suffrage upon the South. Let it join us in
an effort to have the Fifteenth Amend
ment repealed so that each State may reg
ulate the suffrage for itself, and the South
will become at once the most ord erly and
most conservative part of this Union.

On Tuesday afternoon at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. e. Hill occurred the
marriage Of their daughter, Winifred,
to Mr.. Norman Belcher. At three
o'clock Margaret Haskell. in q fluffy
white frock and Master Barclay WEIGH
in white suit, came down through the
reception hall which was sglow with
yellow light. They stretched the white
ribbons from the drawing room door
through the room to the bow window
whore handsome palms stood and
spread their leaves against the curtains.
Then through the white aisle came Miss
Hill and Mr.. Belcher. Miss Hills
gown was OF white satin On train. The
bodice was made with yoke OF lace and
garnitures Of liberty silk ruffies. Doc.
tor Hindmau was the officiating clergy.
man and Miss Marian Camp played the
wedding march. The drawing room
was wonderfully pretty in its pink toll
cite. The chandelier shades were pink
and asparagus ferns looked out between
the globes in q graceful fashion. The
mantel was garden Of bloom and green
leaves, the pink buds holding up their
heads with the utmost attention. A
portiere Of woodbine hung from the
srching Of the drawing room and
library. The rose colored room, filed
with rose fragrance was . frame indeed
for the sweet-faced bride in her long,
white robe. In the library red was the
color theme. American Beauties and
meteor roses and the red shaded globes
gave great height Of color to the room.
Opening from the south end of the
room was q white bower. A red Ian
tern was suspended and beneath this
Mrs. Haskell in red silk gown served q
refreshing punch. She was assisted by
MISS Harper and Miss Foster. Tho
dining room was cool and pleasant in
the restful green and white tones. Tho
table centre was Battenberg lace and q
silver candelsbrum in which green
tapers burned. On the four corners Of
the table tall, cut glass vases held grace
ful bride roses. Mrs. Harry Freeman
and Mrs. Archibald Scott gowned in
white presided over the bowls OF
pistachia ice cream. Cakes and attrac-
tive bon bons Of lily and other shapes
we're also served. Mrs. Freeman and
Mrs. Scott were assisted by the Misses
Jane Mcfarland, Wiggenhorn, Char
lotte Clark. Frances Cunningham,
Hartley and Weeks. On q beautiful
old mahogany sideboard were bowls Of
white peas and jars Of ferns. The man.
tel was most attractive With its banking
Of leaves, ferns and white carnations.
