The question now confronting
North Carolina is the education of
her white children, and this can only
be accomplished by the creation OF a
public opinion so potent that no man
will dare to leave his child out of the
schools. We have made provision in
some measure, not adequate to be
sure, for the education of all, and the
problem which confronts us is that
Of getting the children into the

ADDRESS OF COL. CARR
Delivered Before the Confederate
Veterans Association Last Summer
on "NOrth Carolina in the War Be-
tween the States" to be Published
In Book Form With Appropriate H..
luStratiOnS.
Durham Herald.

Durham Herald.
The demand for the address, .North
Carolina in the War Between the
States delivered by Col. Julian S.
Carr before the Confederate Veteran
Association last summer, has grown
to such proportions that it is Colonel
Cars intention to revise it and pub
lish it in book form. duly illustrated,
for use in public Libraries.
The address is too replete with in
formation and statistics creditable to
North Cardinals share in the greatest
struggle Of modern times not to be
preserved in permanent form. In
fact, it will be wise superintendent
Of public instruction who has the
forthcoming publication adopted in
the course of reading by the schools
within his jurisdiction, that the rising
generation may be taught something
OF the immortal glory won by North
Carolina in the struggle for Southern
Independence.
The publication will most likely
contain illustrations of the battle Of
Bethel, where young Wyatt was kill
ed; the storming of Fort Fisher, re-
garded by military critics as the
tiercest bonn bard ment the world has
ever known; Pettigrew's charge at
Gettysburg, where North Carolinians
went farthest, and lost more men
than any Southern State; the battle Of
Bennettsville. where General IIoke,
North CaroIiua's Chevel de I.er, held
in check Sherman's victorious army
for three days; the capture Of Ply
mouth; Major Henry A. London bear
ing the last dispatches at Appomat-
tox, where more than half the mus
kets surrendered were by North Caro-
lima troops; the Bennett house. three
miles from Durham on the road lead
ing to Hillsboro, where Johnston sur
rendered TO Sherman: and probably
other illustrations. The picture of

lina's great war Governor, with a
short sketch of his valuable services
as the greatest war Governor of them

Senators to be Elected.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Three States are soon to elect United
States Senators: MARYLAND, Kentucky
and New Jersey. In Maryland eX-
Senator German will he chosen and
the Senate will gain one of the most
experienced Legislators and astute
politicians in the country. In Ken
lucky Ex-Governor McCreary seems to
have the lead and he will reflect credit
on his State for he served several
terms in Congress with distinction.
The retiring Senators will be Yelling
ton, who now stands practically with
out friends and is heartily disliked
because of his brutal remark when
the late President Mckinley was
assassinated, and DeBoe. who has
failed to distinguish himself during
his career in any particular. Both of
these Senators were elected as Repub-
licans and will be succeeded by Demo
Gratis. In New Jersey a Republican
will be chosen to succeed the late
Senator Seawell, Republican, and it
seems probable that eX-Attorney Gen
eral Griggs will be the man. He has
had wide experience in public affairs
and will be a strong addition to the
Senate.
