The West and the Supreme Court.

To the Editor: In communication,
published in the News and Observer of
the 10Th of October Messrs. Thos. A. Jones,
Locke Craig and j. G. Merrimon, advocat-
ing the nomination OF Hon. Chas A.
Moore for tho office of Associate Justice
of our Supreme court, say: "No man in
the history of the State has ever been
selected from west of the mountains to a
seat on this tribunal" Indeed Was not
Hon. Augustus S. Merrimon from Bun
combe county, the county of the three
gentlemen named? Are they so young that
they cannot remember him. who was long
an Associate Justice, and afterwards Tin
1880 Chief Justice of our Supreme court?
1t is not intended TO reflect in any way
upon the Recommendation of Judge Moore
for the position in question, for which he
is doubtless eminently qualified but
merely to call attention to what appears
to be great error.

Rev. j. William Jones, d. d., the dis

interviewed by the Richmond Dispatch:

Yes he replied, that is the way

that the President simply meant to stamp
the sign of his approval upon such a
man as Booker Washington. But / see

DIR. Jones said further he thought the
President would continue to cat with
negroes throughout his administration. 1t
was Roosevelt's hobby to defy public
opinion. He had accepted the first oppor-
tunity to wave the red flag in the face
of the Southern public.
CDR. Jones continued that he felt like
saying what he had remarked once in
New York, that other people could eat
and sleep with negroes if they chose, but
for him, he would not. and would not

1t lis we'll known throughout the State
that Iredell county will present the name
of Charles H. Armfield, Esq, to the next
Democratic State convention for the NOM
ination for Associate Justice of the SUI
preme court He is in the prime of life,
a lawyer Of the first class, writer of pure
and vigorous English, student by ma
ture and practice and Democrat who has
ever advocated the principles of his par
ty. Heartily in accord with his party. in
State and nation, he has given much of his
time and talents to the election of its
candidates and the advancement of its
principles. While we do not think party
service should count for everything when
we come to nominate candidates for jul
dicial positions, we also think that party
loyalty and service should not count
against candidate when he asks a NOM
ination at the hands of Democrats. AS q
lawyer Mr.. Armfield measures up to the
requirements of position once filled by
CASTOR and Daniel as a man he ranks
with Merrimon and Davis in the purity
of his life and character; as Democrat
he is neither better nor worse than the
scores of thousands of North Carolina
regulars who biennially fight their par
tvs battles rejoice in its victories and

The address of Governor Aycock be-
fore the colored State Fair at Raleigh
was excellent of its kind, clear, calm,
judicious, kind in tone throughout, re-
plete with wisdom and broad humanity,
it was an address to meet conditions, to
crafty the negroes, and not to offend
rejecting whites. We read it with al
most unmixed satisfaction, and was glad
to hear from North Cardinals chief ex-
ecutive such conservative, deliberate,
impressive recognition of the good will
of the white race for the negroes and
such an earnest appeal to the negroes
as to the part they must perform in
working out their own destiny and meet
ing the requirements of true citizenship.

In passing to Hamlet, our friend Capt.

twin pine tree in sight of the railroad
near Hamlet.
The tree, or trees, if you like the term
better, can be seen near the head of a

lance, apparently, of about % feet, there
are two distinct bodies with clear space

IT MUST AND WILL BE STOPPED.

Outraged public sentiment is showing
its front against the indecencies of the re-

are glad to know the News and Observer

vocate.
The indencjes will not occur again.
That they ought not to have been permit
ted this year goes without saying. Those
who have no purpose in view except agi-
tation and detraction will denounce
everybody except themselves because it
was not stopped. Those who have a
higher interest, while regretting their
own dereliction and the failure of others
are resolved to prevent a recurrence of
the indencies at the Fair of 1901. AS for
this paper when it puts it's hand to the
pillow it never looks back. 1t will CO.

Sood feSoluIloH TO keep out the dirty
shows that disgraced this years Fair. But
it will do more than that: 1t will at the
next Fair, on every day, detail member

and print story day by day showing
whether they are worthy of the State
Fair. If unworthy we shall demand their
exclusion at once and leave no stone un-
turned to secure their expulsion. We
shall invite, and we feel sure will re-
ceive the cooperation of the officers of
the Fair, and the best citizens of the
State.
The State Fair is too great an insti-
tuition to be besmeared by fakirs and in
decent shows.

Students in the sixth grade in the pub

quired to "use freely stories from the
lives of great men and women-as Wash
ington, Franklin, Jackson Lincoln, Grant,
John Brown, Lee, Jackson (StonewalD
Edison, Audubon, Longfellow, etc" They
must have queer head to the school sys-
tenn in Asheville; evidently a man not a
native. or one who knows nothing about
the history of his country and cares moth
ing about the sentiment and sensibilities
of the Southern people. If John Brown
is to be held up to the school children
of Asheville as one of the great men of
America, why should Jesse James and
brigham Young be left off the list? Brown
was an outlaw and murderer; so was
James. Brown was an advocate of 'ad
vanced" ideas; so was Brigham Young,

One of the Ancient seven Wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
ly made of bronze, historically known
rs the colossus OF Rhodes II repre-
scented Phnbus, the national deity of
the Rhodlans. 1t was begun by Ghares,
n pupil of Lysppus. the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2Ss B. c.
The popular belief is that II stood
astfide the harbor of Rhodes, that 1t
was 100 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t WIS east on metal plates,
afterward joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was n spiral staircase reach
Ing into its head, and in Il great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. d. Gl2-when they were sold by the
Saracens TO Hebrew dealer, The
original cost was 800 talents say, So
00000-and it is not too much to say
that a similar image might be con-
structed now in one-fourth of the time
and ut one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues of the sun.
