The Washington Post, always on the
alert to give wise counsel, is concerned
for some Southern spectators, and says:
"The Southern people should beware of
the so-called travelling agents of presi-
Dental booms. They may try to borrow
money"
The Southern people, who are pecu-
niarily interested in the agents of presi-
Dental booms'' do not need any word OF
caution Like the buzzard their nose is
keen to scent the carrion from afsr. They
never fail to land on the side of the

WOULD BE MoNsTRoUs.

The Richmond Leader agrees with
this paper and calls the suggestion to
change the name Of the Philippine ISL
ands to the Mckinley islands mon
strous" and adds:
Suppose the United States Govern
ment, after the Civil War, had arbitrar-
lily changed the name of Virginia fol
the purpose of honoring lincoln. The
bare suggestion of such thing makes
the blood Of a Virginian boil and II
such an outrage had been committed
Virginians could never have felt kind
ly toward the Federal Government.
IF Congress should change the name
Of the Philippine Islands we doubt not
that there would-be a general uprising
of the Filipinos, and no one could blame
them for it,"
OF course the fool suggestion will not
be carried out but it is singular how
many men of sense thoughtlessly APP
proved the unconsidered suggestion.

The Lincoln Hospital.

To the Editor: The Lincoln Hospital
the gift of Messrs. Washington, j. B. and
B. N. Duke to- the colcred people of Dur
ham, was opened for the reception of pa
tients October 1st. This hospital is given
as memorial to the fidelity of the negro
in slave time and as an encouragement OF
the negro Of today assuring him OF
the fact that in the South he still has
friends who are willing to help him.
This hospital was erected and equipped
at a cost of nearly 100000. 1t is thor
oughly equipped with all modern appli
sances and conveniences, better arranged
hospital would be hard to find anywhere
in the South.
The career of Mr.. Washington Duke
has been wonderful, bis sterling worth
and Christian character is worthy of emu
lation. Coming to Durham without dol
lar he has accumulated a princely fortune
and at the same time been lavish in his
deeds of benefactions. His charities are
given in an transformations manner. his
zone desire being to benefit humanity. This
is clearly shown in this gift to the negro
-, race that has been buffetted about,
seemingly friendless. this gift comes at
time that it seems it is Gods assur-
ance that all is we'll
The negro has a duty to perform to
show, that he is worthy of this gift and
other similar ones given by benefactors
He must prove desirable citizen, he
must be grateful. Ingratitude is one OF
the most dctestable traits of character
whether found in race or individual.
This hospital has been turned over to
the colored people to manage entirely. 1t
has colored board of trustees. It's staff
of physicians are colored, though the
white physicians have kindly offered their
services at all times>for consultation:
1t is - lipon charity for its
support, believe the colored people are
going to rally to it and make sacrifices
so as to provide for its running expenses
and thus show not only to the white peo-
pie of Durham but the South, that the
negro is worthy to be trusted and all
that he wants is a chance.

THE HIRED "REBUK1sr."

The Asheville Gazette "rebukes' the
News and Observer because it called at
tention to the fact that it's
school superintendent put the
name of John Brown in the same
list of great men" that began with
George Washington. The Gazette no doubt
thinks John Brown the biggest man AM
erica has produced and would approve
such instruction in the Asheville public
school. Since the Gazette sold itself out
to the Radical revenue gang, it has been
going from depth to depth. 1t would en-
dorse Guiteau if it's bosses told it do so
if it would help the Republican party.
The attempt to put a crown on John
Browns head is an attempt to discredit
Southern history and Southern teaching
whether so intended or not.

Is HE A PRoPHErs

They say the day Of prophecy has
passed, but let us hope that Mr.. Geo.
w. Truitt, prominent farmer of La
Grange, Georgia, has the gift to see
into the future. On the 18th of Sep
TENDER, writing to the Atlanta Consti-
tuition he said
II want to give it to you as my opin-
ion that 10 cents a pound will be paid
for cotton within six weeks and per-
haps higher The spinners are forced to
use new cotton now; and have none OF
last years left over The limit of the
crop this year will be 100000 and
that only if all conditions are favora-
ble A spell of bad weather now would
knock out 100000 bales. The world is
short on cotton, and will be shorter still
next year. The wise planter should
hold back"
The government crop report printed
yesterday bears out everything predict
ed by Mr.. Pruett except the ten cent
price. Upon that point, of course, it is
silent. The Texas crop is 100000 bales
short.
There is every reason why cotton
should go up to ten cents pound, but
predictions as to what cotton will bring
are apt to go wrong. Cotton ought to
be worth ten cents. Will it go that
high? That is question every farmer
will answer for himself, but the big
falling, off in the crop in Texas and
every other cotton State together with
the prediction of so conservative far
mer ought to cause all cotton grow
ers to consider seriously before dispos
ing of their scanty crop at the present
price.

Winston Sentinel.
We would commend the faculty of Wake
Forest College for standing firm in the
determination to abolish the cowardly
practice Of hazing, and this in the face of
the threat Of fifty students to leave the
college because two hazers had been ex-
PEELED. We understand that the faculty
had very emphatically announced at the
opening of the session that there should
be no more hazing at that institution.
Hence, it's practice subsequently added
characterization to a barbarous deed-an
INSTRUMENTATION in which the fifty threat
ening students shared. 1t seems that the
sober second thought prompted the stu
dents to rescind their resolution to quit
and the college is running smoothly in it's

The Commissioner of Agriculture of
Texas says the cotton crop in that State
will be from 100000 to 1000, 900 bales
short. The president of the Galveston
cotton exchange puts the shortage at
600 bales. AS Texas produces one
third of the cotton crop, and there is
a shortage in all the States, the price of
cotton ought to go up before It leaves
the hands of the farmers.
