TIE RALEIGH AND CAPE FEAR.
The Road Doing Heavy Business. Progress
at Fuquay Springs.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Sippahaw, N. c., April 20.-Captain
Kicks, of the Raleigh and Cape Fear
road, says business on that line is rather
heavy just now and daily growing heav-
Ter. He declares indeed that one needs
to get well-developed hustle on him in
order to keep up with it, And as Cap
tain Kicks is something of hustler nat
urally and sets forty pace for the
force of trainmen under him, this state
ment should be taken at par if not higher
The spirit of enterprise is becoming
more and more marked at Fuquay Springs
and all along the line leading to this
famous resort. A glance from the depot
at Sippahaw reveals quite number of
new buildings recently erected and 9TH
ers under construction The admirably
equipped planning mill of DR.. Sexton is
but short distance from the warehouse.
Two blacksmith shops are among the
late industrial additions to Sippahaw. An
office building and a two-story frame
house at the springs are being built by
the Messrs. Ballentine.
At Willow Springs several new cottages
peep out from among the trees.

President J. H. CIeWeII,
Salem Female College

The first impression made upon the
mind is that the present conference
has brought together a larger company
of representative men interested in
education than has ever been gathered
in cur State. 1t is composed of large
number from the Northern States, in
Guiding men from various professions,
some financiers. some literary men,
some educators. some ministers-in
short, a representative company OF
earnest and successful men who come
in person to study the interests of ed
ucation in our growing Southland.
Another portion of the company is
made up of a very large number &C
representative men from the Southern
States. The Southern men are chiefly
from the ranks of the educational work
ers, but any one who examines the list
will at once see that they are the rep
resentative men, the heads of the
schools and colleges, having the future
of the school interests of the South in
their hands
We should note further that a very
large number of teachers from the cont
mon schools within a certain radius of
the place of meeting are present, and
finally that the community Of winston
Salem has taken q marked interest in
the gathering, and by cordial display
of hospitality, and by a large attend
ance upon the meetings, has made
known this interest These four condi-
tions make the Conference a gathering
which is quite unique in the history
Of our State.
The results of the Conference cannot
be foretold with certainty. It is claim
ed that much of the money sent into
the South by friends in the North has
not been used to the best advantage.
This is due to a lack Of information and
to want of clear understanding OF
the situation But the interests of the
Conference are wider than the field OF
donations only, and the general educa-
tional methods of the two sections,
North and South are considered and
compared After a conference like the
present one it is always the case that
men return to their homes and to their
work and think, and later feel the need
| of similar conference, and each sue
| ceeding one can be made more and
more profitable. Hence we give it as
an opinion that one of the benefits is
the possibility of the present conference
! being followed by succeeding confer
ences, which will result in increasing
good to the cause of education in the
| South. j. II .CLEWELL.

without reservation. that in the body Of
men gathered at this conference. there
we're many of the ablest men in America
A remark from an old man standing
on the streets of Winston, overheard bv
me, illustrates this well. The old fellow,
gazing earnestly at a party of the gen
tlemen as they passed, said: 'I'u bet
five hundred dollars that those men know
everything in the world, for what one
man does not know another one does"

don't believe that the same number of men
can be selected in America to equal the
men at the Conference in brain power.
There was an immense congregation in
attendance at the Moravian chapel and
church where the Conference was held.
The president was Robert c. Ogden, and
he was the very life and soul of the meet
ing. He is a progressive, modern business
man, and phiIanthroDist. He is as
ISOLATED in the John Wanamaker bust
ness.
An incident worthy of note in North
Carolina was recalled by Mr.. Ogden in a
speech. Speaking of his visit he said that
in tracing his family tree he found that
a former Robert c. Ogden had married
a daughter of Governor Abner Nash, of
North Carolina, who was elected Govern
or in 1879, and that on some North Caro-
lima Continental money of that time he
had found the signature of this Robert
c. Ogden, who must have been one of
the financial officers of the State.
Too much cannot be said in praise Of
the work of the Conference. 1t was a
great gathering of great men.

Too much cannot be said in praise OF
the disinterestedness and generosity OF
the physicians towards the hospital. For
years they have been doing the county
practice and donating the compensation
to the hospital. Yesterday they did even
better than this.
The county commissioners made an ap-
preparation of $500 for vaccination in this
township. This was turned into the hos
pital treasury. DR.. J. M. Baker was al
lowed 5000 for his personal services at the
pest house, and this, too went into the
same fund
This money came timeIy--it makes
nearly enough to complete the building
and make it ready for occupancy. which
is now only question of few weeks.

WHAT MACON STOOD FOR.


The revival of public interest in Ma
thaniel Macon is chiefly due to a revival
of interest in true Democracy. 1t was
accelerated by series of letters on
Macon, published last year by DR.. Dodd,
the publication of Peele's Distinguished
North Carolinians," containing a portrait
of Macon made from descriptions OF him, by
old men, and by the James Sprunt Mono
graph, recently reviewed in these col
umns. Macon stood above all North Caro-
linians for the simple, economical, just
government that North Carolinians of
today stand for, only he lived in an age
when appeals to the people to support such
a government could be made more effec-
lively. There were three powerful in
fiuences in North Carolina devoted to
Federalism, but they had not the powers
of organization and ramifcation that
distinguished the modern Federalists.
For thirty-seven years Mr.. Macon's
policies and leadership held sway and
they embraced the era of good feeling in

An anonymous contributor to the

Wu-lan-ting mongrel party which was
organized in Charlotte last week, has
an attack upon the Governor because
he was not present at the banquet
on Thursday night. The Governor had
previously accepted an invitation to de-
liver an address at the Great Educa-

was better employed than in sitting ST

What Edgecomb Farmers Will Do
fTarhoro southerner. !

Considerable talk has been heard as
to the decrease in the acreage of cotton
on account of the recent fall in cotton.
This is hardly so in this county. From
what can be learned our farmers will
plant about the average crop. There will
be no increase, it is certain. There may
be more tobacco planted, but this does
not necessarily mean that the cotton
acreage will be decreased. 1t is highly
probable that the corn acreage will run
I'D some.

Treaty Provisions.

Editor Chieftain:-It now seems
that the day is near at hand when
the Cherokee men will be invited
to say whether the Bell.Bufington
agreements satisfactory to them or
not; owing to the hereditary predju-
dices Of the contemplate one-sided
civilization, Cherokee women,
though just as largely interested as
the men, are not allowed to have
any voice in the matter. The poor
widow will not be allowed to say
whether she is willing, or not, to
divide the patrimony Of herself
and her orphan children with min
eraI syndicates and townsite spec
ulators.
The study Of that portion Of the
agreement which relates to the
disposal Of town lots is specially
interesting as going to show how
ruthlessly the property rights Of
the common Indians are pushed
aside to crafty the obtrusive greed
of city combinations.
The utmost that was cOntempla-
ted in this direction by the Curtis
law, was simply to confer a right
of pre-emplion upon such Chero-
kee citizens as had acquired the
right Of occupancy by actual
purchase By the nation, and had
also erected valuable improve
ments upon the lots in question;
unimproved lots, though purchased

now, somehow, unites in the
scheme of enlarging the original
purTiew of his famous statute, and
secures the assent Of our negoti-
ating commission, Cat least we
have never heard Of their raising
any objection to it. TO an amend
ment to this twentieth section
granting the same prescription,
and making the same donation to
"anyother person." "a mere squat
ter or intruder, if you please, } who
may be found in peaceful posses
sion of any town lot"
Now, in view OF these things,
it is quite easy, to see how, TO a
man who is beat on his own per-
sonal aggrandisement at the ex-
penses Of bis fellows in interest,
this agreement might be preferred
to the Curtis law; but how it is to
prove more promotive of the gen.
eral interests Of the Cherokee peo-
pie as a whole, is a point not so
easily discernable.
What is a reservation" What
is .'reservee?" A reservation is
a piece Of real estate which be-
longed originally to the tribe in
common, but has been aggregated
from the tribal domain and set
apart to the exclusive use Of par
ticular member thereof. A re-
servee is the person to whose use
the tract is set apart.
When these lot claimants have
been reimbursed, as provided by
the agreement, for all that they
have ever paid the nation for their
right of occupancy, the last agree
ment they have to offer in sup
por. OF their claim for special ia
vors in the general process of al
lotment, will be exploded. When
they have received as a free and
inexpensive apporiiOnment one
half Of all the lots which they
claim, Qhey pay for only one

crowd them into The category Of
improved lots, though 3 good
scheme in the absence of q better,
could not be relied upon a. an ab-
solule guarantee Of success in the
final outcome. Another and more
hopeful expedient was highly de-
sirabIe.
Ii was assumed that assent on the
part Of the Cherokee people would
90 far toward inducing the govern
ment to accede to almost any ar
rangement in reference to these un-
occupied lots that the parties IN
ierested might see ft 10 propose.
Hence, an agreement putting the
nation in accord with their own
desires presented itself as an OBJ
ject TO be sought after with des-
perate earnestness. Accordingly
an expedient was adopted which,
in former era Of Cherokee his
tory, had proved to be as danger
ous as it was presumptuous. A
self.constituted commission was
organized under the leadership of
a most persistent toWnsite monop-
olist. This body, pretending to
represent the Cherokee people,
and ostenslbly to seek in their be-
half a paIiation Of the rigorous pro-
visions of the Curtis Law. repaired
to Washington and, instead Of
modifying the grip Of the statute,
only enhanced the strength of its
hold with additional rivets. They |
succeeded in arranging with the
Dawes men programme Of allot-
ment by which town lol sharks are
to be allowed all they have ever
asked in the premises and much |
more.
The nineteenth section of the
agreement is virtually but trans
script pro tanto, of the Curtis law,
with this additional provision: The
occupant, in addition to the title
Of the lot at half-price. is to be re-
imbursed, out Of the national
treasury, all that be ever paid to
the nation originally for his right
Of occupancy.
Again, the Curtis law holds un-
improved lots to be the common
property Of the nation; and, as We
have already said, they were to be
sold for the common benefit of the
Cherokee people; but our negotia-
ting commission, pretending to
contrive a better thing for the
Cherokee people has agreed to al
low the claimant a pre-emption
upon such lots, and to give him, as
an additional bounty, one-third of
their appraised value. Compare
section sixteen OF the Curtis act
with the twenty-first section Of the
agreemenD.
Again. the Curtis law allowed a
pre- emptiOn IN town lots to nobody
but Cherokee citizens who had sc-
quired the right Of occupancy by
purchase from the nation, and had
erected valuable improvements
thereon; but our negotiating COM
pretending TO mitigate
the rigor Of the statute in behalf
Of the Cherokee people at large,
have agreed TO confer this right Of
presumption upon any citizen who
