Faculty Concert at Peace Institute.

A large and cultured audience filed
the capacious chapel at Peace Institute
last Friday evening in response TO Mr..
DinWiddic's invitation, and manifested
their appreciation of the delightful con-
cert given by the accomplished faculty
of that institution. The selections were
of the highest order, well chosen and JIM
terprcted with intelligence and artistic
skill Each number on the program was
gem in itself and the frequent out
bursts of applause attested the enjoy
ment of the audience. The three num-
bers given by Mr. Brawley, the able di-
rector of music displayed his versatil-
ity of style and taste. the difficult Grand
Staccato Etude of Rubenstein's being
brilliantly and skillfully executed The
violin selections by Miss Ruggles were
most enjoyable, the graceful Song OF the
Brook and the ROMANCE in q minor pc
ing particularly good, and exhibiting
much ability Chopin's Polonalse IN u
fiat and Henself's Bird Study were de-
lightfully rendered by Miss Sutphen, the
audience at once recognizing the skill
and ability of this new member oil the
faculty. Mrs. kean's singing is too we'll
known to need any comment Who that
has once listened 20 her sweet and liquid
tone would not hear her again? We
gladly welcome her to Raleigh once
more and congratulate Peace Institute
on having vocalist of such superior
excellence. Miss Duncan has many
warm admirers in Raleigh who were de-
lighted with her 'Story of Deerfield.
We thank Mr.. Dinwiddie and his fac
ulty for our enjoyment on this occasion
and wish for them continued success and
prosperity.

people of the United States TO pay.
How long the voters will continue 10

Presidential election in 1904 they will
have another opportunity to decide

The trust question and reciprocity
are forced to the front by the Presi-

with the evident intention of inspiring
the people with hope of relief and re-
lieving the Republican party of the
more important tariff question on
which 1t is so sorely divided. As the
President has not, by any means. ex-
hausted the power to punish bad trusts

Sherman law, which he has never in

BY the time the national election

proof that no relief can be expected
from the trust and corporation con-

than willing to give the Democratic
party an opportunity to enforce the

Why Build Good Roads.

we are told. would do good TO all men.
But why have good roads? DO we
really believe In them? They are GER
tainly opposed to our system Of gov

barb wire fences between us and for
eisners. Our tariff walls are harder 20

for one-half cent. but cannot he gotten

cheanen the cost of transporting goods
when we are living behind artificial
barriers to obstruct the passage of
goods? Why not abolish the tariff
