The Albany strike came to a sudden
and satisfactory end The few casual
ties that resulted from it were regret
table. but it Is surprising that there
were not more. As well bid the hurri-
cane be calm as bid a band Of strikers
be reasonable, but after it Is over it is
we'll to bid strikers reflect. In their
heat and temper they are usually UNI
reasonable, but scarcely more so than
their employers. The trouble often be-
gins by the peremptory manner 10
which employees make demands and the
naughty way in which employers refuse

An article in the last number Of the
Quarterly Review on Queen Victoria
has given rise to a great deal Of com
ment because OF the intimate knowl-
edge Of her late majesty displayed and
because Of the mystery surrounding It's
authorship, For day it is quite as in
toresting as the authorship Of Junius'
Letters. According to Mr. Ford the
London correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, the author is Edmund Gosse.
Mr. Ford's opinion is based on evil
denc,s Of style-he knows nothing
about it, yet he says Mr.. Gosse with
out doubt wrote the article, and had
at least two conductors, a man and a
woman, who supplied the material from
q large fund OF personal "reminiscences
Of Queen Victoria a fine bit Of cock
suredness, but not evidence as to au-
thorship by a long way.

Talks On China.

Rev. G.. w. Green, missionary to
China, spent Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday In Scotland Neck. He has
been living in Canton, China, for nine
wears, and his talks in the Baptist
church were quite interesting.
Friday night he spoke before the
Young Peoples Union on the manners
and customs OF the Chinese. Sunday
morning he spoke of the mission work
in China and its results. Sunday night
he spoke of the recent disturbances in
China. The causes that brought or
the Boxer war we're detailed and Mr.
Green says that the Chinese became
alarmed at the inroads of western ideas
and the prospect OF western civilization
Aud while the Boxer movement was
not primarily against the missionaries
the Chinese regarding ali foreigner
alike turned loose their wrath upol
them as we'll as other foreigners.
Mr.. Green's description OF th'
"teeming millions" in China was quit
interesting, and to student OF pass
ing events his talk on the Boxer wa
and the late disturbances in Chin
was quite instructive.

Pleased With Scotland Neck.

The Williamson Enterprise says the
Williamson troupe that played in
Scotland Neck last week were all
pleased with Scotland Neck. With
other things it says:
1.-THE new and handsome opera
house was filled with a large and ap-
preciative audience. The troupe
caught the inspiration and the play was
even better than when presented at
home.
"After the play Mrs. w. A. Dunn
rendered the troupe reception. An
hour or two was spent most pleasantly
at this delightful home. Seldom has il
been our pleasure to partake Of such
hospitality, and every one lett feeling
glad that it was their privilege to have
met such a charming hostess.
"Several of the company had never
had tho pleasure of visiting that beau.
tiful town before and it was with great
delight they visited the many places
of interest.
"They left for home on the after
noon train, every one expressing them
selves delighted with the hospitality
and kindness of the people of Scot
land Neck"

About The Graded School.

There being considerable opposition
to the graded school movement in the
town, persons who were interested in
the matter spent considerable time
last week in getting to an amicable
agreement about it.
On Thursday the matter was pleas
antly adjusted by a number of those
opposing the school signing the follow
ing agreement:
cit is agreed that agitation of tie
graded school matter shall stop and
that no effort to pass bill looking to-
ward the establishment of a graded
school shall be made before the pres
emit Legislature.
1--WE will offer no objection to the
passage of a bill establishing a graded
school in the town of Scotland Neck,
tax not to exceed 80 cents on property
and 80 cents on the poll, before the
Legislature two years hence, and We
will offer no opposition to the passage
of the same at the polls, provided q
majority in mass meeting of the citi-
zens of Scotland Neck shall favor such
measure, that is, majority present in
mass meeting called upon ten days
notice, shall be binding"
This agreement was signed by several
who were opposed to the graded school
and some of them eaid they will vote
for graded school two years hence.
1t is the general feeling that practl'
cally all the people will favor graded
school next time, and the advocates o.
it 80 regard the agreement.
The peaceable and pleasant agree
ment was gratifying to all, for tht
good people of Scotland Neck do no
like divisions and factions. They ART
still ready to join hands in whatever is
promotlve of good for the town and
its people.
