Daniels Will Garry Edgecombe.

To the Editor: In the published report
of the county convention of Edgecombe
county, it appears that Mr.. c. c. Daniels
received for solicitor only 48 votes out
of 151. This is fact, but this does not
indicate the full strength of Mr. Dan
iels, and therefore may convey a false
impression. When the demand for a
vote wGs made by the friends of. Mr..
Daniels, Mr.. Donnell Gillian appealed
of Judge Jacob Battles candidacy for
judge, not to vote, notwithstanding the
fact that they were for Mr. Daniels for
solicitor. This appeal was also support
ed by Mr.. H. A. Gillian chairman of
the county executive committee; Mr.. l..
V. Bassett, of the Rocky Mount delega-
ton, and others. Only a portion OF the
townships voted. Rocky Mount, Tarboro,
No. T. and others refusing to vote Mr..
Daniels received every vote cast Except
one which was cast for Mr.. Stubb). and
1T is believed that he has at least two
thirds of the vote OF the county, for he
has many friends and supporters in the
county as was developed by the conven-
ton. This is especially true with the
country people. Mr.. Daniels has many
friends and supporters among the dele
gates elected to the judicial convention
and may safely count on the support and
vote Of at least half of Edgecombe's dele
cation

The Awakening of Sleepy Hollow"

To the Editor: The familiar charge
that North Carolina is among the most
illiterate States of the Union will soon
become the proverb of pastievent. 1t
requires no wisdom to foresee in the
aggressive campaign how 1.-THE educational
Governor" and the vigorous column of
the State press that at no far-distant
day, the chance of education will be we'll
within the reach of the whole people.
We have only to arouse this sleeping
giant of intellectual activity, and then
stand out of his way. Once the scales
have fallen from his eyes and the
shackles from his hands and the letters
from his feet, North Carolina will be
no longer an educational kissing and
a by word in the mouths of States. She
will then take the peerless place, she has
ever held for patriotism, IN the councils
of intellectual commemorative.
But she has never been and will never
&c, helped by misinterpretation OF her
motives, and misunderstanding of her
peculiar conditions. The philanthropy OF
cur Northern friends is per Sc to be COM
mended. But the cause of education in
North Carolina will not be advanced by
a slap in the face of the o-called 'hum-
BILE clergy or any other class earnestly
striving to unfetter this captive brain
and to unloose this palsied tongue. The
opinion of Mr.. Julian Ralph. while I'M
doubtely honest and sincere. is either
second hand or based upon a very limited
knowledge of existing facts The time
has not been long (if it is not now since
the poor children were taught to read
and write in Sunday school5 and this in
churches whose pastors were Of ''the

A man cannot spend few weeks in
one section of North Carolina and be-
come competent to speak for her, people
as a whole even though his name may
be a synonym OF sound Judgment and
splendid scholarship.
The trouble is that those who would
help us go about it in the wrong way
They tell us we are illiterate-with
lengthy comments on the "how"-but
give no remedy. You might as we'll tell
starving man he is hungry, or a blind
man he is blind. The Southerner in the
North. and the Northerner in the South
continue to make the Same old mistake.
and the cry. Poor old North Carolina"
goes up with uRfm1ing regularity But
how many have told us how 20 take the
head of this sleeping Sampson from the
lap of the Della of Ignorance!
1t becomes clearer all the while that
the intellectual salvation Of North Caro-
lima depends upon her own efforts and
though she work it out with fear and
trembling, it will come in the course of
time in the awakened power and quick
ened zeal and unbending determination
OF a great people.

The Raleigh News and Observer has
recently issued three mammoth editions
setting forth the material and intellect
ual advancement of North Carolina. The
latest of these is d thirty-six page sum
mary of the last ten years of educational
progress in the State. The conception
of these works showed genius, and their
execution journalistic skill of a very
high order. There has been nothing to
approach them in these respects, so far,
in our State. The paper itself is edited
with marked ability. We have little
fancy for many PACED newspapers, for
as a rule. they shift the burden of ecclec-
ticism from tho editor, where it belongs,
TO the reader; but, in the editions of the
News and Observer referred to- confined
to special objects of great Importance,
compcndiOus and authoritative, they serve
purpose in the highest degree useful
