the prayers, and he had the congregae
ton respond in the reading of the
Scriptures. Altogether, the service
seemed exceedingly short, but the eau
tious consultation of watches showed
it to have been of the usual length.
The people had expected to be greet
ed in a condescending sort of way
by their pastor. Such was the GUS
tom. But this young man-his name,
by the way, was Rev. Thomas Kite
appeared to think he ought to be
greeted by them. He waited rather
modestly for the older people to well
come him, and was gracious, but not
over-cordial. For once Green Island
had to do its half of brotherly friend
illness. Hitherto it had basked in the
condescending, yet propitiating, smiles
of its clergyman.
Rev. Kite gave housewarming in
his barn presently and invited every
body. 1t was in the afternoon, and
he had games and got up football IL.
No one knew how he succeeded. Even
baseball had languished hitherto: at
Green Island. Also he invited three
young fellows to go rowing up the
river with him the next week. to be
gone all day. And as no one invited
him to dinner he asked the deacons
of his church and their wives to dine
with him. He had Miss Wessles, a
spinster of the discreet age and char
acter, presiding over his domestic at
fairs.
Green Island went home from this
remarkable house-warming in fiut-
ter. To begin with. it wanted to know
where Rev. Thomas Kite got the
money for all this entertainment.
Moreover. it would be pleased to as
certain how he was to find time for
supping and boating and football play
ing and the like. His conduct with
the young ladies was carefully re-
err the most strenuous efforts, to say
that he paid more attention to one
than the other.
Everyone was at church the next
alphabetically everyone. But still
Rev. Kite neglected to mention Green
Island or it's prospects or condition,
spiritual or temporal. He complained
of no lack of interest. He merely said
he would take the Bible class for a
picnic the following Thursday and
asked that the Lady's society arrange
for picnic for the younger Sunday
school scholars. Without knowing it.
Green Island began to enjoy itself. 1t
began to find itself interesting. 1t
was profoundly complimented when
Rev. Kite put the stamp of approval
on Nina Cutters singing by inviting
everyone to hear her at his house one
autumn evening. 1t was vastly enter
tanned by the Tennyson readings he
gave Monday nights. All of these af.
fairs were held in the large room in
the renovated barn, where the great
red brick fireplace. was, and the
shelves of books, and the piano and
comfortable plain chairs. Miss Wes-

THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP.


Of Colorado is the selection of a
candidate for Supreme Judge, and
on the decision OF the state conven>
ton in this matter much depends.
We are all anxious for success at
the polls in November, for several
reasons, not the least of which is
to prevent the return to the senate
of Edward o. Wolcott, the man
who has proven recreant to the
trust reposed in him by his con-
stituents, and traitor to Colorado.
If the democrats win in Colorado
this fall, and thereby prevent the
re reelection of this faithless repre-
sentative, it can only be by the
hearty support Of the laboring men
the common people.
The labor organizations have
said that under no circumstances
will they support Judge Goddard
for reelection to the supreme
bench of this state. 1t is not for
us to discuss the merits or demer-
its Of their position. Suffice it that
there is a dangerous opposition,
not only from this source but with
in the democratic lines themselves,
against Judge Goddard's nomina-
ton IS strong enough to en-
danger the success of the entire
ticket. In this dilemma, it is a
duty the democratic party owes
itself, and every Colorado citizen,
to name for this high position a
man against whose public and pri>
vate record not the lightest shaft
of criticism might be aimed. We
believe the democratic party has
paid the full measure of its debt to
Judge Goddard. If he is a dead
weight, the party should not be
expected to carry him.
AS an earnest OF their hostility
to Judge Goddard, the state fedora
ton Of labor endorsed the candidacy
of Judge M. ]. Galligan of Pueblo,
who will 60 before the state con-
vention seeking the nomination for
this important Office. Judge Gal
ligan is doubtless an estimable gen.
tleman and competent jurist, but
would not the convention be placed
between Scylla and Charybdis, as
it were, in the case Of these two
candidates. If it be argued that
Judge Goddard is the willing in>
strument Of the corporations, it
may with equal force be charged
that Judge Galligan is the protege
of the other side, and therefore in a
position to be equally influenced
by the class which is grooming
him.
Therefore it follows that neither
is the ideal candidate for the place.
In view Of the conditions as outs
lined, The Sentinel believes that the
state convention would act wisely
in turning down both candidates
and choosing one against whom
none Of the objections alluded to
might attach-an honest, broad>
minded and learned man, selected
not because Of being good demo-
crat alone, or the favorite OF any
special class, whether good or bad,
but on account Of his being free
from all such entanglements, and
therefore competent to administer
equal justice to all.

THE FIGHT ON THE SEABOARD.

Baltimoreans are naturally inter
ested in the fight which is being
made on the Seaboard Air Line.
They recognize that in the reorgani-
cation of various Southern railway
lines into a complete and important
system, to be known as the SeaboarG
Air Line, there is promise for
strong and healthful competition with
the Southern Railway, and that it is
the only hope for competitive
system. Added to the fact that
prise which effects the South is the
knowledge that the reorganization Of
the Seaboard is largely work Of
Baltimore and Richmond capital.
There is reason enough, therefore,
WHY Baltimore should be interested
in the announcement from Raleigh
yesterday that a temporary injunc-
ton had been issued restraining the
reorganization proceedings, quickly
followed by the news that the in
junction had been dissolved. The
Southern Railway, which is backed
by powerful New York financial in
terests. is doing all its power to pre-
vent the realization of the plans
which President Williams of the
Seaboard has in view. Everything
that can be done to prevent the
building up of new system is being
done. 1t is gratifying to know that
President Williams is confident that
his plans will succeed and that he
has organized railroad company on
safe. conservative lines, and one that
will add to the business prosperity

MOST TOO FISHY.

If there is concern that preys.

The cadaverous clientele they cater

THE PAPER TRUST.

For long while many newspapers
haveopposed trusts as matterof Prin-
ciple and for the protection of the gen.
eral public Now, the newspapers
have a gigantic combine to fight in
self-dense. viz: the Paper Trust,
Within the past few months the
price of white paper has advanced
about sixty per cent. and even at this
tremendous increase the mills refuse
orders for future delivery, with the
statement that the price win probably
go higher.
The remedy for the paper trust is
the removal of the tariff on paper and
wood pulp. and a movement is now
in progress among the newspapers to
secure needed relief by the action Of
Congress.
The gauntlet has been thrown down
by the paper trust and it has been
picked up by the newspapers, and the
fight is now on. If the newspapers
stand together they will, eventually.
win, although the contest may be long
and severe.
The demands of the trust add
greatly to the expense of all kinds OF
publications. The trust is enabled to
make this demand by reason of the
tariff excluding competition. Hence
the aptness Of the statements: "A
tariff on white paper is tax on in
telligence. Winston Sentinel.

most remarkable session this in
stitution has ever had. 1t had en-
rolled 4S5 students not including the
Summer School. The health of the
student body proper has been eN-

have been taken by competent
sanitary experts to see that no con-
ditions exist hurtful to the health of
the young men who gather there.
The sound of the hammer and the
spectacle of two new buildings ris-
ing on the campus gives an air
of growth and progress to the old
classic spot, Quite large number
of new students are expected at the
opening Of the Spring Term on Jan
uary 2nd. Scholarships for this
Term are exhausted but the Uni
versity will use generosity in deal
ing with needy students who wish
an education. The loan funds are
still available and will be up to Dec.
25th. All students wishing to enter
the University for the Spring Term
should correspond with the President
before that date.

The accident occurred about eight
miles Northwest of Raleigh. The
boys were schoolmates and devoted
friends. They had planned to spend
the day hunting on Mr.. Hinton's farm.
They had gone only mile and hall
from the Hinton residence before they
came to pond maintained for fishing
purposes. This being fozen over,
they placed their guns on the bank
and went on the ice. But they had
not gone far before it broke and al
three went under together. Four hours
later they were found lifeless under
