A WORTHY APPEAL.

The effort to raise 100000 for loan
fund at the State Normal and Indus
trial College ought to appeal to the
people of the State. Not only are
nearly all our colleges for women in
the South without endowment, but
the loan funds to be used to aid wor-
thy students are insignificant as conn
pared with similar funds to aid worthy
young men at their colleges.
Many of our foremost citizens today
were enabled to pay their college ex-
penses by these loan funds, and some
of them could have secured the nee
essary funds in no other way.
If this is true of boys and men how
much more is it true of their sisters.
IThe most effective philanthropy is
that which enables young student
to help himself or herself.
The plan adopted to raise the $780,
900 at the State Normal and Industrial
College ought to appeal to people of
moderate means as well as to the
wealthy. Every person who subscribes
$500 is instrumental in raising $780,
600 and is under no obligation to- pay
his 500 unless the 100000 is raised
The interest on this fund will edu-
cate fifty girls a year in this institu-
ton, which in it's short existence has
come to be second to no institution
for the education Of women in the
South. 1
We congratulate DR.. McIver upon
his zeal and faith and trust that he
will receive the early cooperation of
hundreds who see the need fer fair
chance for the girls of the State.

m THE TWO FIRST BILLS.

When the Legislature meets the two
first bills that ought to be ratified
are these:
/. To appropriate $25O,0OO to the pub
lei schools of the State. If it be OBJ
iected that there is not enough money
on hand to justify such an appropria-
ton, the answer is GET MORE
MONEY. 1t can be done if all prop
erty and franchises are properly tax
ed. If necessary, the tax rate should
be raised. Everything should be made
secondary to the improvement of pub
lie schools.
2. To abolish the August election and
hold all elections for all State, county
and township officers in November.
One experience of two elections in
one year is enough to last a life time.

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION.

The six hundred delegates to the
Baptist State Convention, which be.
gins its annual session in the First
Baptist church in this city tonight.
will find that they are at home in the
capital city of their State. Raleigh
is great Baptist centre, the member
ship of that denomination being the
largest in the city. The local Baptist
churches, heartily seconded by the
people of the entire city, will give glad
welcome to these representatives of
the great Baptist church of this Com
monwealth.
The progress of the Baptist church
has been marked In numbers it has
long led the other churches. Its zeal
in education and home missions has
chiefly characterized it's operations in
the past decade. 1t has strengthened
it's foremost educational institution,
Wake Forest College, which now ranks
with the first Baptist colleges in the
Republic. Tt has built in Raleigh
noble institution for the education of
women. In every section of the State
it has built and maintains useful insti-
buttons of high grade that bring the
advantages of education to the homes
of the people.
In the field of home missions, its
zeal and wisdom has been signally
favored by the success that has attend
ed it's ever-increasing and effective
efforts. Today there is not a county in
the State without Baptist church and
every year new churches are organic
ed as missions which soon become
self-supporting stations. There is no
work more important-we We're about
TO write so important-as carrying the
gospel into the region beyond"
our own Commonwealth. If this State
is to free itself from ignorance and sin,
it must be through the uplifting of
the people and their education; through
the spread of the gospel and the pub
lie schools. The church that does
most to make men better and gives
them the ambition to educate them
selves-that is the church that is not
only doing most for the State and the
people, but is also doing most for It's
own growth and glory.
The personnel of the Baptist State
Convention shows that it is a repre-
sentative body of Christians, embrace
ing able and strong men in all the
callings of life. The ministry is full
of men of mental power and spiritual
force In it's laity will be found men
who are the equals in ability, influ-
ence and usefulness of any men IL
North Carolina.
Speaking for all the people of the
capital city of this noble Common
wealth, we give glad greeting to the
noble representatives of the great
Baptist church in North Carolina-to
their city and ours, to it's homes and
its friends, and to- the hearts of it's
people.

THEY HAD ONLY TO ASK HIM.

Morganton Herald
One of the most remarkable instances
of the exercise of the pardoning power
voted in the Governor was exercised the
other day in behalf of the Southern Rail
way Company when Governor Russell
committed the sentences imposed by Judge
Stevens on this great corporation for two
violations of the laws of the land. The
sentence OF the court in each case was
81 900, the minimum fine under the stat
ute. and these fines when collected were
to go to the credit of the school fund of
Burke county. Now our magnanimous
Governor steps in and commutes the sem
tence in each case to $f25, and the chill
dren of Burke are the losers to the tune
of $1,750. We only wonder that he didn t
pardon this poor corporation absolutely
and tax the county of Burke with the
costs.

A DYNAMITE MINE.

IL Consisted OF six Large Cartridges,
Caps and Fuse and Was Evidently
Placed Under House on the Com
mon Years Ago.
A dynamite mine was found yesterday
by Harry Hildreth one of the workmen
raising and repairing the small house in
the rear Of l.. Z. Holden's residence. The
mine consisted of six cartridges of uni
form size, about eight inches long
and one in diameter, with brass caps,
and a fuse Is feet long to which
cap was attached. The substance in the
shells was of darker color than the dyna-
mite. The cartridges were tied up in a
paper, which fell to pieces on being brought
10 light, and the fuse was also in a decay
ed condition. The mine was beneath the
house, and was evidently placed there
many years ago. A stone was probably
pulled out and the mine then placed under
the building. The mine must have been
put under the house before the opening
above the stone work was filled in with
plastering several years ago. The mine
was probably placed under the house when
the Brooks family occupied the premises,
or fnther back when the Folsom family liv-
ed there. II. NJ. Wood, the gunsmith, who
examined the cartridges, says they were
loaded with dynamite, which changed color
in decomposing. There was sufficient dyna-
mite in the cartridges to blow up half a
dozen buildings.
