MONUMENT TO SIR WALTER RAJ.
EIOH.

The movement to erect monu-
ment to Sir Walter Raleigh at the
State capital, which city takes its
name from him, has taken definite
shape. Gen. Julian S. Carr, who
was requested to take charge Of the
enterprise, has appointed committee
to aid him in the matter and the work
of soliciting subscriptions will be
taken up at once The list Of names
was published in the NeUs and o.
serrer Sunday. That paper says:
1t is a list of representative North
Carolinians, which will inspire the
confidence the movement deserves.
1t is proposed to raise the money by
penny collections from the school
children in North Carolina and from
those who use tobacco. The 21st OF
November has been appointed by
Cen Carr for the meeting Of his com
mittee, especially those who can con
veniently attend, to start the pre-
liminary stages of the undertaking
We recall no movement In North Car
DINA in late years which meets with
more general approval, and the pro
posed method of raising the none,

The plan of erecting monumen1
to Sir Waleigh at the capital OF tn.
State named in his honor meets with
approval in other States as we'll as ir

| The New World owes to no man {
greater debt of gratitude, and it falls t.

as may be paid by shaft raised in hi
name We trust that the suggestion
made by few patriotic citizens OF on
sister State may find instant and practi
cal favor in the eyes of that fine old Com
monweath as a whole.

SAID BY A PREACHER.

We have never claimed cigarette
smoking to be virtue, but when Rev.
l.. G.. Broughton says that "any man
who follows the habit OF smoking
cigarettes for ten years will become
so morally depraved that he will do
anything, lie, cheat, swindle and
commit any crime, no matter how
atrocious, even to MURDER" it is our
belief that he says much more than
he can prove. 1t is all right to make
broad statements, provided the facts
will bear them out, but sensational
preachers do not look at it this way.
Durham Heru{d
You must not place too serious a
construction on anything this rever-
end gentleman says. He has habit
of saying things, and some times he
talks merely for the sake of the sound
he makes.

up in Henderson. Come to think
about it we believe there was some

awhile back but since the White

without form or head. In fact, no
one appears to know anything about
it. Some of those whom '.they say

QUICK PROCESS OF CURING TO-
BACCO.

Col. John X. Webster, editor OF the
Reidsville Weekly, tells the Green's
boro Telegram of new process for
quickly curing tobacco. which had
been successfully tried in his town.
He says:
One day last week in the forenoon
several tobacco leaves were taken
from the field, cured by this process,
stemmed and made into plugs. In
the evening of the same day they
were chewed by appreciative persons
and they pronounced the tobacco all
right.
Tobacco growers and others inter
ested in the industry would like to
know more of this new process. Can
Col. Webster tell us?

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S COMPLETE
INDICATION.
ashington Post

Washington Post
The Syracuse Post Standard has not
had much to say concerning the court
OF inquiry. and the comments it has
made were of the most conservative,
but it has finally gone on record in
the most pronounced fashion BY de-
claring that Admiral Schley's vindica-
ton has been complete and concludes
an able editorial as follows:
1t is not the time to express an opinion
as to the verdict of the court, but this
muah is certain, Admiral Schley has in
creased in popularity rather than de-
tracted from if, and the members OF the
navy whose views are represented by
Judge Advocate Lemly haSe sunk in
popular estimation. The course of I.emly
has been particularly odious to the coun.
try because OF his evident prejudice
against Schley.
1t is to be sincerely hoped the country
may forever be. spared another such a
spectacle.

A GREAT STATESMAN DEAD.
Newport News Herald.


Lii Hung Chang is dead. He was
the greatest OF Chinese statesmen.
More than that he was the greatest of
all Orientals in all respects.
Lii Hung Chang was not only a
statesman, he was philosopher, a
diplomat of the highest attachments,
according to the Oriental standard,
and he was also very rich. OF course,
with all these qualifications, he easily
became not only the Premier Of the
Chinese Empire, but the most power
full man among all the Oriental
nations. Not only so, but in contact
with the European diplomats, he dis
played an adroitness and fnesse
which easily placed him on an equal
footing with the best of them.
This equality lasted for ever thirty
years during the long life of the man
who not only elevated China to the
position Of great power, but kept
the curious and Industrious people
welded together as mass of homo
gsnsous humanity never known to the
world before.
Lii Hung Chang was a great man
He was not good man, according tc
American standards, but he was
equally good and great among the
Chinese. He believed himself more
moral, if not drawer, more independ.
ent and more altruistic than any
American he met here six years ago,
not excepting Chauncey Depew and
President Cleveland. He was easily
the superior of both of them in all the
arts of exquisite and deceitful diplom.

POTTS eulogized by L-e-m-l-y.
Well, we'll!
We sincerely trust that Capt. Lemly
is pleased with his "argument."
The burial the Virginia voters gave
the Hon. j. Hampton Hoge was deep
and decisive.
Now we are all able to understand
the difference between Demosthenes
and Lemly.
The staggering department Of tho
South African war is still doing a
lively business.
Mr.. Rayner is a fine speaker, but
then think what fine lot of facts he
had to discuss.
Mr.. Rayner's sarcasm was all lost
on the Judge Advocate. Mr.. Lemly
is very serious proposition.
But it must be conceded that the
argument for the Schley prosecution
is as good as the evidence.
Mr.. Hanna displayed a powerful
charges in the precept had been
proven.
Mr.. Croker denies that he has quit
the leadership of Tammany. The
man will probably have to be tin
| canned.
A North Carolina negro was killed
while engaged in hunting 'possum.
1t is needless to say that his death
was happy one.
We felt sure that the intrepid
Lemly would rush to the defense oil
the gallant Potts when Mr. Rayne1
tried to ram Templeton.

necessary to discredit the statement
