name OF Hon. W. c. Fields to the judi
cial convention, which viii meet during
the coming summer to select a candidate
for judge in this district There is no
mere exalted or important position in

1t has been a time honored custom of

THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL
COLLEGE AT RALEIGH
The State of North Carolina is Now Prepared to
Thoroughly Educate and Graduate in Medicine
It's Own Sons Within It's Own Borders.

Prospects are very bright for sue
cessful opening of the University Medi-
cal College here in the fall. The medi-
cal bulletin is lust out and in it will be
found the announcement of the courses
of instruction, hospital arrangements
and details in regard to fees, admission
and entrance requirements. A copy of
the bulletin will be sent to every ply
stefan in the State. The session will be-
gin along with the other departments of
the University, on Thursday, September
18th, 1902, and continue nine regular
months.
Option on suitable site in the city
has been granted, and after the deal
goes through announcement of this will
be made, The establishment of the
school will be a great addition to Raj
eigh's educational interests, virtually
making it the medical centre of the State
There is no lack of enthusiasm here for
the college and the interest being mani
tested by the Raleigh people is very
gratifying. The University has asked
for no inducements from our citizens
no large sum or tract of land has been
demanded as "A condition for locating
here its graduating medical department
Raleigh was selected because it was the
logical place of all the cities in North
Carolina and the University trustees
simply chose our city because geograp-
ically, educationally, socially, and scien-
tifically it presented the greatest advan-
tages. This was a genuine compliment
for Raleigh and the people are not slow
to appreciate it. The University is look
ing to all our citizens for encourage
ment, interest and support in every way
possible to make the Medical College a
success. The outlook is promising and
by September the new department should
be so well advertised that it's success
will be assured from the beginning 1t
is high time that North Carolina set
about educating it's own sons in medicine
within its own borders. We have the
material, the facilities and now the op-
portunity.'
In order that the relation between the
University and the Medical College here
may be perfectly understood, the follow
ing statement is quoted from the recent

instruction in medicine is given in
two distinct schools, one situated at the
seat of the University, the other in the

70 the Editor: / note in yor issue of

Dewey was the Morning." and the edi-
tori&l comment thereon. 1t ought to be
known that Mr.. Ware never properly
wrote those lines. He is good deal of
a wag, very enthusiastic partisan and
patriot. When the news of Dewey's
great victory at Manila Bay came nc,
like the most Of us, was wild with the
joy and proud of the victory. TGe was
with other gentlemen ard upon reading
the report broke out in his exuberant
boYish manner into those lines. One of
the gentlemen, caught by this jingle,
remembered and reported them to the
Topeka Capital. Greatly to Mr.. Wares
annoyance they were published the
next morning and reprinted all over the
land with general approval. They took
the popular fancy and struck the lopu-
lar gait at thai time as fully as the
sentiment and air of that song, which
was really the war song of the Spanish
war, "Tnere'll be n Hot Time in the old
Town tonight" We also remember his
enthusiasm of those early days in May,
1898, and how easily these lines might
first find uttcrance ard be everywhere
repeated.
Mr. Ware is a sturdy. level-headed
successful lawyer, member CT the
foremost legal firm in Kansas with no
pretension to being a poet. If he has
written anything it has been for re-
creation, as the fun of the thing and not
because of any literary ambitions he
might appear TO Fave.

High Point, ~ c., April ia phone
message was received here early this
morning telling of another visitation by
fire in our neighboring town-Thomasville
last night about II o'clock. 1t Is the
general verdict as has been the case in
some of the recent fires there that it was
the work of an incendiary The tele-
phone wires leading to this place were
burned, hence no account by phone could
be had last night.
The fire began in Raymond Edmond
sons barber shop or in close proximity
to it. This place of business, together
with Suggs' shoe shop, Grimes store and
the Thomasville Drug Co.'S building
insured for 800; Suggs' shoe shop $500
Thomasville Drug Co., about one-half
value of stock; Grimes store also had
some insurance. 1t looks as if the town
of Thomasville is to be wiped off the
map by fires, so numerous have they
been in the past six months.
Mrs. ]. F. Reitzel, whose critical ILL.,
ness was mentioned in this correspon-
dence, died this morning at five o'clock.
Her death is especially sad. Only a
few months ago she was happily married
here. She leaves a devoted husband who
was with her during her illness.
Many are the expressions of sorrow in
deed it is universal for the bereaved hus-
band and family. Mrs. Reitzel's home is
in Richmond, she having come here on a
visit to her mothers family. The fun
eral services will be conducted from the
Methodist Protestant church tomorrow

''It is due the efficient clerk, Mr.. II. C.

quired Of him.
Mr.. Brown is, perhaps, the best in
formed man in the State on matters
touching taxation, railroads, railroad
rates and the transportation question
generally, and is thoroughly skilled in
corporation matters. If there is man

a difficult and laboricus one and he is

he wants it. Now let the Democratic

faithfulness and say: Well done, faith

PRESBYTERIANISM IN N CARROLL

To the Editor. In nv ,aner
which appeared in last Sundays
News and Observer, was NOT
so clear in my statement about Presby
terianism as l should have been. T
meant to say that the first regularly or
ganized Presbyterian church in North
Carolina was formed by DR.. McAden at
Goshen, Duplin county. This was three
miles from Kenansville. Afterwards it
was moved to a point within a mile of
the town; it is now within corporate linn
its. This was the beginning of Presby-
terianism as an organized body in North
Carolina. There had been Presbyterian
congregations in many parts of the State
before that, but l have found no other
regularly organized church earlier than
this by DR.. McAden, 1855. The church
has very interesting history. Old Mr..
Miller, who has many descendants liv-
ing in Duplin and elsewhere, bore the
principal burden in building the house
of worship. He was a man of large
wealth, and as there We're no saw mills
he had the lumber sawed by hand. His
negroes performed that labor with the
whip-saw. DR.. McAden, who had been
on missionary trip through the State,
Passing through to the Yadkin and
thence on into South Carolina and down
the Cape Fear to Wilmington and thence
to Duplin, returned to the up country
and made his ARRANGEMENTS for a per-
marent pastorate over the newly organ
lied church.
Your correspondent thinks that | am
mistaken about Goshen being the first
Presbyterian church organized in North
Carolina. He thinks that Nutbush and
Grassy Creek are probably older than
the Duplin church. DIR. McAden, in his
diary, makes no mention of either of
these churches. He visited and preach
ed for the Baptist church at Grassy
Creek and went thence to Fishing
Creek in Warren county, where he
preached several days, but he says Moth

Cotton Factories as Boarding Schools.

Rev. Jesse Baldwin, who once lived I'm
Charlotte, has q novel idea about how TO
run cotton factories. His scheme pro-
Vides for q cotton mill to be run in con-
nection with q boarding school. The
school he would divide into two classes
of hands, one to go 70 school in the
morning and the other in the afternoon.
Those who worked in the mill in the
morning would go to school in the af-
ternoon and vice versa Commenting on
the idea the Atlanta Journal thus
touches on an interesting phase of the
matter:
Mr.. Baldwin does not place all the
blame for the evils Of chill labor in
mills Upon employers but says that
much of it must be horne by lazy and
Desotted fathers and mothers who are
defective in the parental instinct.
Employers will always be found who
Will get labor as cheaply rs possible re-
sardicss or moral considerations and un-
til the employment of children in mills
is forbidden by law not very much can
be accomplished by expatiating on its
fearful effects on the young bodies, minds
and souls.
Much has been said about the over
drawn pictures Of conditions OF child la
Dor in Southern cotton mills and some
of the accounts have been exaggerated,
but 1T is equally true that of some mills
the whole of the terrible truth has OF
been told. The extent to which they
