CHRIS RAINBOW
 WILL BE ELECTED
Will Succeed to Vacancy Caus- ed by the Resignation of
 Alderman Camp

The vacancy in the Board of Alder men will be filled at the next meeting by the election of Chris. Rainbow, whose term of four years expired a few days ago.
 At the last meeting of the Board, which was on Wednesday night of this week, A J. Camp the senior member from the Second ward, rendered his resignation on account of having re- moved from that ward. His resigna- tion was accepted, and an effort was made to fill the vacancy that night, but the election was finally passed un- til the next regular meeting of the Board.
 It is stated as a certainty that MT. Rainbow will be elected to fill the vacancy, he having pledged to him, according to claims made by his friends, fourteen of the seventeen All dermen, or five more than a majority.
 MT. Rainbow served on the Board four years, his term expiring last Wednesday night. when his successor, George B. Ward, took the oath of office and assumed the duties of Alderman from the Second ward. The last year of MT. Rambow's term he was chair man of the market committee, and was member of several other important committees. He is prosperous young man, and while on the Board gave a great portion of his time to the duties of his office. He was always on the lookout for the interests of his con- stituents.

Chief Austin and Officer Patton there. That they went into an adjourning room where hide was stored. and said they wanted to open some barrels. They loaded two of them. which contained brass on a dray and took them to police headquarters. He said that Mir wlggdns an employe of the Southern Railway had told him presently that he knew the defendant had bought the brass without any criminal intent.
 J. D. Taylor, brother of defendant and the owner of the business, testified to substantially the same facts as Mir. Glover.
 The defendant then took the stand and said he was only an employe of his brothers and had no financial interest in the brass. He told about the visit of the officers to the warehouse and said there were seven barrels there, five of brasstallow and two with brass. He said that the day before he had bought 290 pounds of brass from Albert Pressly, but denied having any knowledge that the brass had been stolen.
 The case went to the jury at 12 o'clock.
 The Jury Wakes Up.
 When the jury retired at this hour they all looked like they were asleep, but they soon woke up and after an hours loud discussion there was rappin on the door of the jury room and some of the jury announced that they wanted further in- structions from the court. The lawyers and court officers were reused out of their chairs and pulled off of tables where they were mapping; the judge mounted the bench. when the jury changed their minds one of their number saying he was sick and wouldn't come in.
 Defendants counsel then asked the judge to recall the jury anyway, and give them certain instructions, but this the judge refused to do, saying they were not asked at the proper time.
 At quarter to two the jury came in and announced their verdict, the foreman making a request of the judge for lien ency for the defendant.
 The defandant's counsel said he wanted to ask the jury question before the yer judge refused. The judge thanked the jury and told them that they were en- titled to pay for today, but that it was a little late to find the treasurer in his office, and for them to come back later.
 The defendant will appeal the case. and gave an appeal bond in the sum of $500.

on the south; three from Church lane, on the east; eight from White Hart lane, on the north, and provision will be made on the other boundaries for future continuation of the roads, should opportunity arise. The princi- pal roads providing thoroughfares over the site, both east and west and north and south, are 50 feet wide, with trees on each side, and the majority of the remaining roads are 40 feet wide, with the exception of those within the dis trict of Wood Green. which are in all cases 50 feet wide, as required by the urban district council.
 It is proposed to take advantage of the river Moselie, which runs through the eastern portion of the estate, and some slightly rising ground upon it's bank, which is difficult to build on,, to arrange public garden of about two acres and a quarter, with the river flowing through it. Four other smaller gardens will be arranged on other parts of the site, which will help to preserve the healthfulness of the estate. The parish church of Totten- ham and the churchyard are very pic turesque, and effective use will, there fore, be made of them in laying out the estate.
 Finally, the committee state that the estimated cost of the entire schome is e1.530,85S. and their cal culations are, of course, based on the opinion that, even under the existing harsh conditions as to sinking fund, etc., such scheme must impose no charge on the rates. In other words, this, like the other housing under takings of the Council, has to be self supporting.

$200 Gem for a Nickel.
rom the St. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic
 Mrs. O. D. Finch, wife of an Edwards vile merchant, has recovered a diamond which was lost few weeks ago. The stone, which was valued at $2O0 was set in spiral, and was worn on a stock col lar. It slipped from it's place while Mrs. Finch was out walking, and could not be found.
 A few days later three small boys on the way from school discovered the jewel They debated what to do with it, as the spoil could not be divided, and one of the number, Udell Keller, settled the mat ter by buying out his partners for five cents. He wore the stone home screwed in his necktie, and his parents. suppos- ing that it was a prize from a popcorn package, paid no attention to it until they heard of Mrs Finch's loss. Then, on investigation, they found that their son had innocently been adorning his per- son with s200 diamond.

THE TEACHERS ASSEMBLY.

The Teachers Assembly of North
Carolina is more than a gathering of
pedagogues where better method of
teaching are discussed. 1t is that TO
be sure. but more than that. 1t is an
Educational Camp Meeting where there
is exhortation and songs of praise as
well as long sermons There is men,
tai and patriotic uplift about it quite
as pronounced as technical study of
pedagogics.
To the Teachers Assembly the State
owes much to the oneness of aim and
interest that marks the present educa-
tional life of the State as well as to the
educational revival that promises rich
blessings to the State. 1t has brought
together the college professor and the
country school teacher, the county and
city superintendent, the city and rural
school teacher, the representatives of
the institutions founded by the church
and those founded by the state, in that
gathering they look into each others
eye, touch elbow to elbow and find that
the same noble ambition has stimulated
each The result is the better day when
united effort has replaced the divided
effort.

MONUMENT TO NOBLE WOMEN.

Very few-all too few-monuments have
been erected to the memory of the noble
women whose noble deeds have won for
them imperishablo fame. The dedications
of the monument to the memory Of Mrs.
Bradley T. Johnson in Confederate lot in
London Park cemetery in Baltimore on
Confederate day is an event serving to
show that men are beginning to appre-
ciate the heroism of Southern women
during the Confederacy.
Mrs. Johnson was a North Carolinian
by birth and at the unwilling of the mon
ument Capt G. w Booth delivered an
grafton. and referring to Mrs. Johnson's
services to the men of the Maryland line,
especially that act of hers by which she
secured arms and clothing for them from
North Carolina, and quoting the historian
Scharf, Captain Booth said:
''In this trying emergency Mrs. Bradley
T. Johnson volunteered to go through the
country to North Carolina, her native
State and there appeal to her countrymen
TOT dSSISIdnCe. one, DIS the uduSllSI VI
Hon. r. M. Saunders, of that State, form
erly minister to Spain, was amply quail
fed by grace of person and mind and the
force of will to accomplish an enterprise
which required the daring gallantry OF
man with the persuasive power and perse-
yerance of woman.
Captain Booth then told of the many
noble and heroic acts of Mrs. Johnson
during the war, following her husband
in all the camps and nursing the sick and
wounded Returning to Maryland in 1879,
Mrs Johnson at once took a prominent
part in works of benevolence and charity,
She became president of the Hospital for
the Women of Maryland and was efficient
in establishing that institution on a firm
and prosperous basis. Her work in the
establishment of the Soldiers Home at
Pikesville was great, and Captain Booth
fittingly called it Mrs Johnson's Monu-
ment = In concluding his sketch Captain
Booth said:
"But she left a larger, wider, more inn

her heroism, her dauntless courage, of
her great heart, cherished all over the

CAN'T DODGE THE ISSUE.

Representative Babcock is too wise to
think his party can. ostrich-like. hide by
putting it's head in the sand. Everybody
knows that many of the trusts owe their
immense profits to the high tariff protec
ton which they enjoy, and Mr. Babcock
sometime ago suggested that this Repub-
lican Congress when it meets in Novem-
Der ought to remove the tariff on all the
articles made by trusts. The better class
of the Republican press agreed with Mr.
Babcock, the Chicago Inter Ocean saying
that unless the Republicans stand against
protection for trusts 1.-The rising tide
will sweep away not only protection, but
also all the other Republican policies"
Mr. Hanna has set his foot down on Mr.
Babcock's proposition, and now the trust
organs are demanding his head. The
American Economist then voices the views
of the trusts;
"Mr. Babcock has leaped into fame at
one bound. So did Benedict Arnold
among others. There is fame and fame.
But what about Mr.. BabcOcks relations
with the Republican party? He is the
representative-elect of his district in the
57th Congress, and cannot be unseated
prior to March 4, 1908. He can, however,
be omitted from the House Committee
on Ways and Means when the commit
tee assignments are made next Deem
Der, and he can fail of reelection as
chairman of the National Congressional
committee. As the responsible author Of
bill whose provisions are in direct con-
lict with the platform of the Republican
party, as an avowed enemy to the policy
of protection to American labor and in
1ustry, is he entitled to remain, ought
he be permitted TO remain a pseudo Re-
publican member of the House Ways and
Means committee? Should he again be
honored and trusted with the chairman
ship of the National Republican Congress
sional committee? The obvious answer
is no. To retain Mr. Babcock in either
position would be to bestow reward upon
disloyalty and treachery. Mr.. Babcock

ST believe that with all your sta
tistics there are no greater people
than these North Carolinians.
Much has been written and spoken
recently about emancipating the
white man in North Carolina po-
Iitica1ly, and there is something
in it, but at the bottom, no man
ever saw North Carolina when Its
people were afraid to say and act
as they thought. Were they afraid
on the goth of May, 1775? Didn't
they take their time before going
into THE compact called the I'm
ion," and did anybody dictate when
they refused to go out in
1861? Were they afraid TO
impeach Holden? Were they afraid
of Grants bayonets in 1872,
and Federal threats in 1876?
Were they not acting as
free men in 1894, when in their
impatience ON account of real and
fancied wrongs they overturned
the existing order of things? Could
the demons of hell have prevented
the revolution in 1898? Did our
people care for the threat of Unit
cd States troops or United States
courts? The political revolutions
in 1894 and 1896, and those of
1898 and 1900 show most conclus-
lively that we have not been wait
