Instead of taking, that solemn hour to
reflect upon the Governor, the priest
ought to have expressed gratitude that
his clemency had given time to the con-
demned man to repent of his sin. No
act Of the Governor since he looks the
oath of office has ever been so generally
criticized as his giving five different re-
prieves for the condemned man. He
could not be moved by criticism and he
gave the condemned man the benefit OF
every doubt and his counsel every OPP
portunity to prove his innocence. They
failed and there was nothing for the
Governor to do but to let the law take
its course.

man of good character, who repeats it
to the Governor, is not to be believed,

punished In his zeal for his convert
and his faith in his declaration. the
priest has been led into making mis-
take--one which makes dangerous pre-

WHO WILL SHOOK THE SHOCKS?

Mr.. ]. M. Patterson. secretary of the
Republican Executive Committee of the
Tenth Congressional district, is getting
ready to write an "ex'' before his name.
He is out in an open letter to Senator
Pritchard asking 'how many of your
relatives or all who are in any way con-
nected with your family have you re-
commended for office. and how many
have you appointed?'' Mr.. Patterson al
so calls upon the Senator to explain why
he is building up an office holding ring
in North Carolina, and then he gives a
list Of the ring in which we note that
three eminent patriots by the name of
Shook are on Uncle Sans pay roll. to-
wit: J. Wiley. Henry Clay and John
Wesley. There are plenty of Gamblers,
Pattersons, Rollinees, and whole families
but none of them so deserving as the
Shook family, and it is deserving prin-
cipally because of the great head of the
class Hon j Wiley Shook, of Pigeon
River. He has been a valiant knight for
his party, and, who shall have the to-
mefity to say that the Shook family
should be shook?

A dinner given by one man to another

means that the guest or his son may WOO
and win the hosts daughter when The
one man is a white man and the other
black, it means that there is but one
step more to miscegenation-a sinful and
wilful breaking of Gods laws.
When George Washington, first Presi-
dent of the United States, expressed dis
pleasure on seeing a Frenchman foEdle
a negro baby, he gave recognition TO the
instructive prejudice of race perpetuation
which is at once normal and ineradicaDle
because it is natures barrier against
miscegenation and the merging OF all
races into one. And what a George
Washington recognizes a Roosevelt can
not ignore, No people can see this great
truth as the Southern people see it. All
the philanthropists, all the negrophilists,
all the social hermaphroditists all the
political spoilsmen in quest of votes, and
even Theodore Roosevelt President OF
the greatest country on earth, cannot rub
it out,

MR.. RAYNER's, HUMOR.

Hon. Isador Hayner, who has made a
national reputation by his matchless
conduct sof the case OF Admiral Schlcy,
made speech in Baltimore on Saturday
night that was a vote winner and no
mistake. 1t was a reply to the speech
of Senator McComas. who had cham
pioned negro suffrage in speech on Fri
day night to an audience in which the
negro was much in evidence. We make
room for his extract from the Balti-
more Suns report:
Taking this gentleman's speech fur
Their along" continued Mr.. Rayner, we
find many peculiar things. At the con-
.ciusion of his speaking this Senator Nc
Conas was presented with bouquet OF
roses" (Laughter) After pause.
AT all Republican meetings there
should be plentiful supply of bou-
quets. (More laughter). They need
them badly The fragrance of the rose
OF Sharon and of the lily of the valley
would not be too much al some of these
meetings"
ROCK-A-BY, BABY.
Now" said Mr.. Rayner, II am going
to read you something from the Balti-
more Sun. At the meeting here last
nioht, it states:
AS Senator McComas began to re-
count the wrongs which the negroes will
suffer Nnder the new election law me-
gro baby, clothed in white, which was
in it's mothers arms in the egroes' gall

Guilty be cs mforted.
Nov. as the negro vote in Maryland
is more than one-half the Republican
vote here, I do not think it wise to put
these innocent negroes in a negroes gal
lery. Why this distinction? Our dis
tinguished President made none such.
(Shouts of laughter and applause)
But I am still on this baby question.
Now, think that Senator McComas
might, to prove his affection for the
race, have gone up into the negroes gal
lery and comforted that poor, squealiag
baby. He might. and / don't see why he
did rot, take it in his arms and silence
it's small bowls. It woudr have bear.
Kind Of him to do this. 1t makes me
think of the following lines, which might
have been adapted to suit the Senator.
Rock by, baby, on the tree top.
When the wind blows the cradle will
rock
When the bough bends the cradle will
fall.

ALL
The entire house by this time was con-
vulsed with laughter at the picture SO
glowingly painted.
Mr.. Rayner's speech reminds us Of the
speeches we heard in North Carolina in
the campaign of 1888 and 1900 by our
/. Governor. The incident of the negro
baby, clothed in white was too good to
let pass and when we read it in Fri
days Sun, our involuntary comment
was that would have given Aycock all
the opening he needed to laugh Nc
Comas out Of court" Mr.. Rayner used
il and used it effectively.

THEY CAN'T FORCE IT.

You may drive horse to the water, but
you cannot make him drink.
You may have a negro entertained in
the White House, you may open schools
for both races and demand that there be
social equality, you may write it in the
laws and do any and everything else, but
every time that it is attempted it raises
war and results in failure. Here is the
latest in telegram from Chicago:
Chicago, Oct. 25.-'Co- eds, of the
Northwestern University, Evanston, who
live at Chaplin hall, have drawn the color
line.
unless Elizabeth Ellis, the young col
ored woman of San Antonio. Tex, who
was recently assigned a room in the DOR
mitory, is Immediately elected, the young
women say they will leave the hall and
procure rooms elsewhere in Evanston.
''This ultimatum was delivered to MIS-.
Elizabeth Simpson, matron of the Chaplin
hall, by committee representing the
young women of the dormitory, and they
are anxiously awaiting the resulting ac-
ton of the faculty.
The principal grievance of the young
women is that Ellis is allowed to eat at
the same table with them. M any of them
are from the South, and they all agree
that the presence of the colcred student
at their meals is not desired. Mrs. Sjmp-
son is firm in her determination 10 keep
the young woman in the hall, and unless
an adverse decision is rendered at the
next meeting Of the faculty the precedent
established will be maintained, and Ellis
will remain in the hall.
ut is thought that the faculty of the
Methodist institution will refuse to Dust
the new student, and the other residents
of the hall assert that unless that action
is taken the dormitory will shortly be
inhabited by only one student
1t would be more praiseworthy in Booker
Washington if he would use his money to
make his school or some other negro
school good enough for his own daughter
and the other negro girls who are trying
to break into Northern colleges where
they are made to feel that they are not
wanted. The proper race pride wodl. be
to build up a college for colorad women
in which the best educated would take a
pride.

THE COTTON CROP.
Courier Journal.

Louisville Courier Journal.
1t is famous spell of good weather
which the whole South is enjoying and
has been enjoying for two weeks. One
of the good things about it is that every
day the frost stays off means about 3d.
600 to 10000 more bales of cotton. The
great Southern staple has had a hard year
of it, but luckily there have been no kill
ing frosts, and until they come cotton
will keep on growing and every pound
will be needed. Even now there are pre-
dictions that Texas will produce a yield
of tops which had been given up by
the croakers for months, and tops" mean
a great deal of cotton and also a great
deal of money.
Cotton is cheap now, and the larger the
yield the cheaper it may be, but there are
indications of big revival in the cotton
spinning industry, in which case the world
will use all that can be harvested and
will want more

of November 3rd the head lines Grave
of Joseph Hewes Located" The grave OF
Joseph Hewes has been located in the
private burial grounds CT the Johnstons
at their old home Hays" near Edenton
for over a hundred years, and is marked
with monument and inscription. Here
his body rests with those he loved in
life The mortal remains CT both the
James Iredells lie buried in the same
ground, father and son. one appointed by
Washington Associate Justice of the First
Supreme Court of the United States, the
other Governor, United States Senator and
Jurist.
Joseph Hewes was born in New Jersey,
and moved to Edenton when quite young,
where he engaged in business as a mer-
chant. There he became the friend and
intimate of James IredeIl and the john
stons. He was engaged to be married to
Annie Johnston, the sister of Governor
Samuel Johnston, and also the sister of
the wife of Judge James Iredell. After
the death of Annie Johnston Joseph
Hewes made a great pet of Helen Blair,
her niece. and for her, while in PhiIadel-
phia, had his miniature painted by Peele,
the great artist. This miniature was left
by Helen Blair to her grand daughter,
Helen Blair Iredell, and by Helen Blair
Iredell given to her niece Helen Blair
Johnston. now Mrs. James L. McRee, OF
Richmond, Va.
In this connection it may be Of inter-
est to read the following letter from
Joseph Hewes TO James Iredell, in which
the miniature is mentioned. This letter
is taken from the Life of James Ire
dell Vol. l, page 274. In passing | may
be excused for remarking that to the
student of this period of North Carolina
history, there is no more interesting
reading than is to be found in these two
volumes of McRees Life Of Iredell. 1t all
brings out so clearly the life, both social
and political, of many of the prominent
people of that time.
