When Prof. Dodd finishes his Life or
Macon" l hope he will write Life Of
Willie Jones'" Less is known OF these
two great founders and leaders of the Re-
publican Democratic) party in North
Carolina than of many tenth-rate men
who are known chiefly because they hung
on to the coat tails of leading Federalists.
There never was day when Iredell,
Johnson and William R. Davie all to-
gather possessed a tenth of the influence
of Willie Jones, and yet comparatively
little is known of him. Why? The chief
reason is that most of the men who have
written history in North Carolina have
catered to Federalists or Wings, and it
was not popular with those two parties
to make Willie Jones and Nathaniel
Macon the best type of public officials.
Here. too, resided William r. Davie, a
brave soldier, able statesman and leader
in Congress. 1t was perhaps, as a sol
der that he was at his best. for he was
really one of the ablest generals in the
War of the Revolution. His life has been
we'll told and his great services so well
commemorated that l need not allude
further here to his career. He was a
brother in-l law of Willie Jones, though
they differed widely in politics.

Wilmington Messenger.
North Carolina has had another negro
lynching. 1t was near WadesborO, a
highly respectable section. When people
thus become Infatuated because of a
hellish assault upon a good, but unpro-
tected white girl, it is a sign that moth
ing so stirs the Southern man as the
preparation of such satanic, awful crimes
by black brutes. The palpitating bosom
of the Republican New York Tribune is
deeply stirred over the barbarism in the
South 1t thinks that lynchings are no
longer caused by desire to stop horrible
outrages and from natural rage at the
preparation of such Unacceptable wrong
and unutterable shame but from
morbid lust for bloodshed and torture"
AS usual with the Tribune when the
South is concerned, it is clean out of it.
1t may be sure that the South will never
cease to lynch so long as white women
and children are in danger or are actually
assaulted. II the Tribune had this mat
ter of cruel and depraved assaults
brought home to it's establishment, 1t

NO HAZING AT GIRLS SCHOOLS.

This week and next week hundreds OF
boys and girls will leave their homes for
the first time to go to boarding schools.
There is nothing that tells more strong
boys and girls than the reception they
give in their schools to the new pupils.
The girls and young women receive the
trembling fresh with consideration and
kindness, seek to make it pleasant for
them, and enter into their feeling OF
home sickness and try to assuage it. AT
most of the schools for boys. the con-
trary course is usually pursued, and in
stead of being greeted courteously the
"newies" are greeted by hazing and guy
ing and the like, in some instances the
rough treatment has descended into bru-
tality.
AS an evidence of this difference. our
Louisburg correspondent writes that a
committee of students who were present
last session-not "old girls" mind you
has been appointed to receive the new
girls, introduce them to their future
school mates and make their first days
at the school easy and pleasant. Why
shouldn't this example of courtesy and
hospitality be adopted by the school body
of the male schools and colleges? is
there any reason why girl should be
more polite and give a kinder welcome

TO HONOR MACON.

Richmond Dispatch.
The North Carolinians are launching a
movement for the erection Of a monu-
ment over the grave of Nathaniel Macon,
who was a member of the House of Rep
resentatives from 1871 to 1915. Speaker
of the House from 1901 to 1906. and United
States Senator from 1915 to 1928. Apple
toms Cyclopedia says: HE was the in
innate friend of Thomas Jefferson, James
Madison and John Randolph of Roanoke.
Randolph said Of him in his will: He Is
the wisest, the purest and the best man
that I ever knew"
Randolph Macon College is named part
w in his honor. He was a Democrat of
Democrats-our North Carolina friends
sometimes say, 1.-The noblest Roman or
them all.
His last resting place is in Warren
county, N. c.. and is at present much
ne elected, it appears. The North Caro-
linians propose to rescue it from this
condition, purchase the site OF the grave,
erect the monument there, and place
grave and monument in the care or a
Macon memorial association now being
formed.

Another suggestion is that the people OF
the county buy the plot of land where the

there were 4,564,661 separate farms
whereas in 1900 the number had reached

The custom of our Superior court
judges in instructing the clerk to enter
Judgment suspended on payment OF
cost is fast bringing the law into dis
repute. Many openly violate the law
under the impression that their gains
by so doing will far exceed the small
bill of costs, and in most cases they are
right. The last Legislature imposed
a license or privilege tax on dealers In
cigarettes, pistols, bicycles, etc, but
this law is but little respected in Nortd-
ampton. We are informed that no one
in Northampton has paid the cigarette
tax, yet we can often see boys have the
deadly "coffn lacks" in their mouths
Some of our new judges may depart
from the old perricious habit Of enter
ing Judgment suspended on payment
of costs and unexpectedly impose the
penalties prescribed by law.

Few men have exerted a more salutary
influence in North Carolina than Willie
Jones, who lived within half mile of the
court house here The grove of his resi-
dence is still standing and visitors are
taken to see the place. He was an ar
dent patriot Moore says of him as he
appeared in 1774: willie Jones was to
North Carolina what Thomas Jefferson
was to Virginia. Never conspicuous on
the hastings or in the debates of deliber-
alive bodies, but in his powerful and orr
ginal mind was to be developed the larger
portion of the policy of his people during
the continuance of his life" In another
place Moore says of him: willie Jones
was a chapter of contradictions. He was
always leader of the Assembly and vet
rarely Joined in the debates and then
only to utter a few pungent and pointed
sentences. Again no man was SO demo-
