High Point, N. c., May 14.-The COM
mencement exercises of the graded school
began here Sunday morning in the M. e.
church with a sermon by Rev. S. B. Tur-
rentine, of Greensboro. His sermon was

saying that it was one of the best ever
delivered in these parts
Last night the annual debate of the
Irving Literary Society was held at the
graded school building. The query was
"Resolyed: That the Signs of the Time do
not Indicate Long Life for our Repub-
lie" The negative side won. The exer-
cises we're interspersed with interesting
declamations and beautiful selections of
songs.
This morning at 10 O'Clock tree plant

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG
ABOUT RADICAL LENTENCY
Republican Federal Officials Knew That the Demo-
cratic Registrars Could Not be Convicted and
Made Grand Stand Play to the
Galleries.
Wilmington Messenger.)

The Hon. George Rountree has called
our attention to a peculiar circumstance
connected with the action Of the United
States District Attorney for the Western
district in mol l-prossing the cases against
the Democratic registrars at Greensboro
during the last term of the Federal court
held there.
1T will be remembered that confer
ence was held in Greensboro between
leading Fusionists of the State and it
was publicly announced by the District
Attorney, and approved by Judge Boyd,
that for the sake of peace and good or
der the cases would not be prosecuted
further, but would be dropped from the
docket. This announcement was some
what startling, TO say the least of it,
and many people wondered why the Re
publican party had become so considerate
of the interest of Democratic registrars
who had been bounded down with re-
lentless tyranny since the August cam
paign of last year.
cit will be borne in mind that when
the first arrests of registrars were made
last summer, a thorough investigation
of the law was made, and it was the
unanimous opinion of the leading law
yers of the State that the Federal courts
could take no jurisdiction of election Off
GERS, who were holding an election for the
State and county officials only and in
accordance with these opinions the regis
trars were advised to do their duty un-
der the State law and they would be pro-
tected from the Federal courts.
''The only case that could be found that
was an apparent justification of the con-

Practical Education.

We have received an interesting lit
tie hand book on this subject, issued
by the North Carolina College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts. A couple
of quotations from it will indicate it's
character.
THE world is demanding men who
can do as well as think. The best
equipment for a young man today is
technical skill, knowledge and power.
"A century ago education was for the
few, and was designed to fit them for
the learned professions; today education
is for the many, and is intended TO
equip them for lifes practical work"

duct Of Republicans in prosecuting DEM
loeratic registrars (foF a State ,election)
in the Federal courts, was United States
VS.. Loeey from Ky. This was an indict-
ment in the Federal court against certain
persons for preventing a number of voters
of African descent from voting at a
purely State election. Judge Evans of
the district court of Kentucky sustained
the indictment and the defendant ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals,
where a decision was rendered February
u, 1901, which has recently been pub
lished. This decision overrules Judge
Evans and declares that the Indictment
cannot be sustained. This knocked the
bottom out of the only theory upon which
the prosecution of our registrars was
based, and the court at Greensboro had
evidently learned of the opinion and knew
there was no merit in the cases on the
docket. People will not give the Repub-
licans district attorney and judge much
credit for their pretended love for peace
and good order when it is learned that
their prosecutions had been instituted
contrary to law and without foundation
in justice.
THE opinion recently handed down de-
clares that the fifteenth amendment does
not confer a right of suffrage upon any
one, nor does it secure or guarantee any
right of suffrage to any class of citi-
Zens.
I'VE shall continue to control our State
elections without any fear of being drag
ged into the Federal courts; and people
will eventually learn that the rights of
suffrage are regulated entirely by State
laws

H. Mangum. His address was very appro-
pirate and patriotic and ably delivered.
The marching of children around the
mound of the Confederate dead and lay

spring sight. Three volleys were fired
by the infantry at the close of the ex-
ercises.

Norfolk fielded badly and was completely
at the mercy of Voltz. The boys in brown
and white played the game with a snap
and vim that filled the Portsmouthies
with joy. There is something radically
wrong with the Norfolk team, but what it
is cannot be ascertained. The men are
not putting up anything like the game
they played when the season opened, and
it is likely that owner Cunningham will

There was no response from any OF

pitched phenomenal ball for five innings,
only one ball being knocked to the out

innings the "Shupbuilders" went out in

FIX The Date OF Opening

The papers Of Kansas declare
that there will not be men enough
in the atate to harvest the wheat
crop that will ripen in June and
July. 1t is asserted that twenty
thousand harvest hands from
outside the state could be used.
If the opening Of the KiOwa and
Comanche country should occur
during VI leat harvest they will
need more than twenty thousand
men from other states. 1t will
be utterly impossible to get laoor-
ers; they will all be On the border
seeking homestead. The hary-
est will have to be done by
women. The same condition
would be true in Oklahoma, were
there to be an early opening.
However, there is little likelihood
of an openinf until after our
wheat has been harvested and il
is likely many laborers vii come
to Oklahoma and work through
harvest so as to be ready for the
opening should it occvr at an
earlier date than generally be-
lieved. It is stated that many
