THE WEST POINT SCANDAL.

1t is we'll that Congress as we'll
as the war department ordered an
Investigation of the Booz case.
Both Investigations have brought
out ample testimony to show that
a state of affairs exists and has
long existed at the military acad-
emy which is simply disgraceful
and no sufficient explanation Or
excuse eau be offered for it.
The evidence as to the treat
ment of cadet Booz is 10 some
extent conflicting, but it shows
conclusively that he suffered cru
elites which can only be termed
barbarous. And Cadtt Bo0z is by
No means the only feature of these
inv vestlg stions. Il has been proved
by incontestible eviieoce that
both recently and for years
past cadets at West Point have
frequently been tortured in ways
which every instinct both of justice
and gentility must condemn.
Among the witnesses who have
testified to these outrages have
been those who were victims and
those who assisted in perpetrating
them. It seems that system of
terror has been established at the
academy which prevents the ex-
posure of these outrages and the
false notion that hazing is manly
and submission to it honorable,
has taken deep hold in that in
stitution. It seems clear also
that the officers in command
at West Point have been by nc
means so active and determined
in their efforts to suppress this
evil as they should have beer
aud as they should be requiredite
be.
That the Investigations viii
tend to promote discipline and te
elevate the character Of the acad
emy seems certain, for public
opinion has been SO aroused tina
it will not tolerate the lack o.
discipline at our military schoo
which has been made so painfully
evident.

A NEGRO'S ESTIMATE.

Prof. Atkins Writes The Argus
aNote Expressive of His APP
probation of Gov. AycOck
and of His Inaugural and
Outlined Policy as To The
Negro.
Our mall this morning con.
tanned the letter which we pub
lish below, from Prof. S. G. Ats
kins, president of the great COL
ored school IN Winston, N. c.,
that has a national reputation
for the efficiency Of the work it
is doing in training colored
youth in industrial pursuits and
in character building. And for
this work no better man could
have been secured than Prof.
Atkins, who, in cur opinion
and we have had opportunities
for judging him-is the ablest
colored man of his day; one who
bas love of State and love of his
race predominating, and is de-
voting his life to the upbuilding
of both. Here is what he writes:

Mr.. JOS. E. Robinson, Editor
ARGUS, Goldsooro, N. c..
Dear Slr:-l desire to write
you as to my estimate of Gov.
Aycock's inaugural. I am not
personally acquainted with the
Governor, and, knowing that you,
probably more than any one else,
stand for the puollc sentiment Of
his home city. which:was crystal
lied into general demand
throughout the State for him to
become the Governor, I write
you. And I also gratefully re-
member your kindness toward
me on the occasion OF my visits to
Goldsboro. But I write to ex-
press my great admiration for
Gov. Aycock and Of his thought
ful, broad-gauged inaugural ad
dress. You remember that ]
published an article last August
in which I made a quotation from
his speech of acceptance the basis
of an assurance to my people
that we had not fallen into she
hands of our enemies. In tina,
article I appealed to my people
TO be hopeful and not to contem
plate leaving the State because
of the result of the August elec-
ton. I feel like re-iterating tina,
appeal now that we have Gov
Aycock's inaugural address. Tnis
address is remarkable in many
particulars. The position taker
BY the Governor for the educa
ton of all the people of the State
should, as I am sure it will, strike
all patriotic citizens of the State
as wise and statesman-like in the
highest degree It should alst
, re-assure the colored people O.
the State that the times int
which they have come do no
mean i'll to them. I am very mucf
encouraged, and feel like tender
: ing to Governor Aycock, through
, you, not only my warmest con
gratulations, but my sincer'
thanks.
Yours most respectfully.
