THE RETURN OF THE WANDERER.
AS we fully expected, nothing5came
Of the police investigation. Such a
wanton, senseless crime they failed ut
terly to- comprehend, and. not knowing
all that we knew or all that We srs-
pected, they had little to stimulate
them to great <exertions Sometimes
doubted my uncle's wisdom in with
holding the story of the sign. 1t would
at least have put the authorities on the
right track, but as my mothers muir
derer was still at large and they were
supposed to be assidu6usly searching
for him it could have furthered his
capture but little to ten Of our suspi-
cions. AS for making Ia point Of the
egg shaped symbol, that would un-
doubtedly have laid us under the sus-
picion Of being "a marked family and
as such not pleasant neighbors. No;
take it all in all, he was perhaps wise.

was the evidence of it. If the police
captured the perpetratpr, we should

But some weeks slippeh by, and with
them went all my uncle's patience, and
at last he told me that tie strain of In
cessant watching was proving. more,
than he could bear. gE=- II !, y;

police will never discover the perpetra-

The world was not big enough for him

Interest Increasing in the Great Cause
OF Education.
(PittSborO RecOrd.)

Never before in the history Of our
State has SO much interest been mani
fested-and in most practical and
substantial manner in the great
cause Of education. The Legislature,
at its recent session, appropriated
more money for education than any
previous Legislature had ever done.
And in addition to these increased
appropriations from the public treas
ury, the late Legislature passed many
bills authorizing different towns to
levy a special school tax,
All this increased interest in educa-
ton is one Of the beneficial results of
the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment to our State Constitution, ust
as was predicted and promised by its
advocates. Yes, the advocates of the
suffrage amendment predicted last
year that it's adoption would greatly
stimulate the cause of education,
and they also promised that more
money should be appropriated for the
public schools, and that the school
terms should be heightened. This
prediction has already been verified,
and this promise is already being full
filled.

THE HIGHEST OFFICE.
President OF the United States the
PrOudest Position on Earth.

William Mckinley is enjoying the
sweets that go with occupancy OF the
highest office in the greatest republic
the world has ever known. The re-
ception he is receiving at every stage
of his trip through the country is an
object lesson sure to crafty the coun-
try at large as we'll as the President
himself, for it is bit of incontro-
vertible evidence going to show the
healthful feeling everywhere prevail
ing.
We are inclined to think there will
be little Endorsement of the effort in
some quarters to raise the cry OF
"imperial magnficence, and all that
because the presidential party is
making its Journey in the finest spe-
cial train that could be gotten to-
gether. Nor do we see any particu-
uar danger to the republic in the
train being carried with the compli-
ments of the different railroad COM
panies There is no effort to bride the
President in any of this-only desire
on the part of the roads to see that
the Chief Executive Of the nation is
given the best there is in the land, as
is meet and right. The roads get
some advertising out of it, just as do
the different cities which entertain
the party, and that is all there is in it.
The suggestion OF improper motives
is clap-trap, nothing else.
Every President Of the United
States has been royalty entertained
whenever during his term of office he
made visit to any section OF the
country. The people who had OPP
posed the election Of Grover Cleve-
land, for instance, were no less en-
thusiastic over him in his swing
around the circle than were the peo-
pie who supported him, and William
McKinley's reception at the hands Of
visit and when he came to the Atlanta
peace Jubilee, has been ust as sin
cere and ust as enthusiastic as 1t
could have been of man who had re-
ceived the electoral vote Of the South
ern States.
There is no politics in it, and there
should be none. He is the President
of the United States, the executive
head of the Federal government, the
man in whose hands has been placed
the country most sacred trust. He
stands as the representative OF no
party party and Of no State, but OF
the whole people. The personality
of the man may make some little
difference, but the enthusiasm Of the
people is for the exalted Office he
holds and is tue expression of the re-
spect the people have for \ worthy
occupant of that 0Ilice.-Atlanta con-
stituti0R.

Even a lightning calculator cannot

The object of education in the pub

and women for intelligent citizenship
and for the practical duties of every
day life, and we may as we'll acknowl-
edge that this means in a large major
lty of cases plebeian life. Every hon
est man must first be bread Garner

COME TO WELDON.
Suggestion That the North Carolina
Press Association Hold its Next
Convention There.
(Rcanoke-Chowan Times.


The executive committee is soon to
meet To name a time and place for
the next meeting of the State Press
Association. We wish to suggest
that the next meeting be held al
Weldon. This point is easily Access
.ible from all points OF the State,
being situated on the line of two of
the three great railroad systems Of
the State-the Seaboard and the Coast
Line.
Weldon is a great industrial center,
and can furnish valua BILE object les
sons.
We presume the Association could
secure accommodations at Weldon,
and if not, Maj. Tom Emry would see
that the whole Association secured
ample accommodations at Roanoke
Rapids, only four miles away.
In addition to the Industrial enter
prises in the vicinity of Weldon the
mem bers could visit the finest farm
ing lands in the State-across the
river in Northampton. Here is the
largest cotton farm in the State,
owned by that grand old man, Gen.
M. W. Ransom. Near Weldon is
also the famous State farms about
which all have heard, and are des-
tined to hear, SO much. They are
wonders
Weldon is only two and a half
hours ride from Norfolk and the sea-
shore. An excursion could be run to
Norfolk and the members given an
opportunity to visit the Navy Yard,
Fort Monroe, Newport News (Which is
destined to surpass New York in sx-
ports) and many other points of in
terest.
Let the Association come to Weldon
this year, and let business be first in
the minds of the members.

WE DO not occupy any silly .enti-

race. We know everyone Of its vir-
tues and we trust that we know all of
its faults. We know exactly the atti-

the South since 1865, and we also
know that in spite OF this attitude
the South has always dealt most gen
erously and humanely with it. We
also recognize the fact that it i. here

members of the constitutional con-

that their first efforts will be put

perfect justice, and with infinite
benefit to the colored race in the
