UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS.
DR.. Alderman Formally surrenders Custody of
University to His Successor.
Especial to News and Observer


Chapel Hill, N. c., June 1G.-The first
session Of the summer term of the Uni
versity has opened with a very bright
outlook. Quite a number of new men
have come in to join the old ones who
remained. 1t is thought that by Tues
day the attendance will exceed the most
sanguine anticipation.
The Summer School for teachers was
not SO large as formerly owing TO Teach
crs' Assembly being in session, but the
teachers will come in from Morehead for
the next few days and the prospect for
an unusually large attendance is most
encouraging.
Dr. Alderman formally surrendered the
custody Of the University yesterday. His
successor, DR.. f. p. Venable, today, came
up from Morehead. where he has been
with the teachers, and took charge.
Last evening in Gerard Hall DR.. Kemp
p Battle lectured on THE British Amer
lean and Confederate Flags" The lee
ture was largely attended and proved
to be most interesting.

amendment whenever its provisions are
understood. The changes made at the
adjourned session of the Legislature will
greatly strengthen it in this county.
Our county convention ON the 7th in
slant was a large and enthusiastic gath
ering of earnest and patriotic Democrats
from every precinct in the county, and
all expressed a determination to roll up
a good majority for the Constitutional
Amendment and the whole Democratic
ticket in August"

fooled about the amendment. Many il
literate white men have been made to
believe that they will be disfranchised OF
course all that will have to be contra
dicted and will be done as the campaign
progresses. We hope to give good ac-
count from old Rockingham at the cleo
ton"

whites of Stanly are beginning to fully
realize that under the grandfather clause
the right of suffrage is guaranteed to
them forever. Stanly expects to give her
usual Democratic majority for the
amendment and the entire State ticket"
Representative Brown: at has never
seemed at all difficult for Stanly county
to do the right thing in politics. She
was among the very few counties in The
State to vote against the old Candy Con-
stitution. With that same degree of
consistency will she vote for the amend
ment to the present constitution. Stanlv
viii hold her own in this fight. She
will gain as much or more than Fhe VII
lose The only fear expressed By he
white opponents was that the oh section
might prove unconstitutional and leave
the 4th section in full force. Now that
this objection has been removed b" the
special session of the Legislature, star
~ will roll up an almost unanimous vote
for the amendment"

pend upon it, Nash county will do her

LENOIR.
Representative w. w. Carraway: Ac-
cording to your request l have the honor
to report that Lenor county will go for
the amendment by reclamation.
obstructive Institutes have been in
stituted by Chairman j. w. Granger, and
competent instructors have been sent to
hold these institutes in every township
to instruct those who do not thoroughly
understand the amendment. These in
stitutes or instructive speakings have
been going on for over month. At these
meetings the amendment has been OK
piained, and will continue to be explained
and discussed until the election in
August
cat every institute meeting every one
present has been asked as the amendment
is being read, section by section, to ask
any question which they seem not to I'M
derstand Besides every Democrat has
resolved himself into a committee of
one to explain said amendment to his
great many objections have thus been
removed and many votes have been won
for it.
Il am sure that many more votes will
be added by reason of the recent changes
made in the election law and the amend
ment by the Legislature today, which
fully meet all of the objections that !
have heard of in my county by Demo-
Gratis.
1--WE thank Chairman Simmons for
sending to our county the Hons. Lor}n
Craig, Bob Glenn and Claud Kitchin,
whose patriotic and highly instructive
speeches did great good, and We are
of the opinion that any Democrat who
heard these gentlemen and then persists
in not understanding the amendment must
have planted his Democracy on the wrong
of the moon.

of that body and of political conditions

pie hunters, as usual, stand with the
negroes. That is the situation pure and
simple. The organization in our county

siastic club, literature is promptly dis
tributed, the campaign lie of the opposition
is at once chased down, and best of ALL

THE THINGS WE DO NOT NOTICE

Was it not Sherlock Holmes who
convicted DIR. Watson of obtuseness
because he had climbed hundreds of
times up a particular fight of stairs
without noticing there was nineteen
of them:
1t was an unfair test, but it exem-
plifies as we'll as anything the lack
of observation to be found in all men
except the detectives of fiction.
Take for instance, a watch. This
is a very familiar object, and il you
were asked whether the number on
the face of it corresponds to the Ro-
man numerals, you would no doubt
say YES,
Yet, if you will take out your
watch and look at the symbol of
four, you will observe that it is not
the customary w., difference which
probably never occurred to you to
notice before.
Or, again, can you say how many
buttons you have on your waistcoat?
This, as the advertisements say, is
no catch; there is no aroma of the
herring and a half about it. Ii
means what it says.
The average tailor is accustomed
to sew on an average waistcoat a
certain number of buttons; the pre-
else number he knows, but how
many of his customers? Lay your
hand on your heart, well to the left,
o masculine reader, and say, keep.
ing your eyes in front, whether five,
six or seven is the number of but
tons that front you every day.
