THAT CLEAN" ADMINISTRATION

The writer of the article upon the Re
publican platform declaration of "clean,
able end economic" government, which
appeared in Sundays issue of this paper,
in speaking of the Hancock scandal,
stated that the suit against Hancock was
withdrawn at the solicitation of members
of the family to avoid the scandal that
would follow a public trial.
The writer of that article was led into
this inaccuracy by current publications.
in which it was stated, upon rumors
then current, that the suit had been
withdrawn for this purpose. gentle
man cognizant of the facts informs us
that the suit was never voluntarily
withdrawn, but that the plaintiff left the
state after she had instituted her suit,
got married and did not return to pros
eoute her action and that after several
continuances the suit was, by order of
the court, dismissed. 1t is but justice
to state that Hancock in his answer de-
MED all the charges in the complaint
But there is another phase of this
Russell Hancock scandal which the ar
ticle referred to did not mention and
which will be interesting reading just
now in view of the Republican claim
that RusselI's administration was "clean,
able and economical" This is Governor

RALEIaH's OPPORTUNITY.

We publish in another column no.
tice that the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College can receive no more stu
dents at present. Notwithstanding the
recent enlargement of the college it is
again full and overlooking. Notices are
being sent out to the boys of the State
telling them not to come to the college
and doubtless many score of young men
will be kept away this session by lack
of boarding accommodations
This state of things should not con-
tinue. The city of Raleigh cannot af-
ford, as a mere matter of business, to
allow any of it's educational institutions
to turn away students for the lack oil
room. The State of North Carolina
whose noblest duty is to educate her
sons and daughters. cannot afford to see
them turned away from her educational
institutions for lack of room Philan-
thropists who love humanity and long
to elevate it cannot afford to see the
coming generation stand pitifully before
the closed doors of overlooking institu-
tions,
The next Legislature should, if pos
sible, provide the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College with larger and better
accommodations. The college has never
been properly equipped, the value of its
work has never haen fully recognized,
but now that our youths are flocking to
the college and hundreds are turned
away for lack of room, it is evident to all
that industrial education is both val
liable and popular. We are sure that the
Legislature will recognize its great duty
and its opportunity in this matter. 1t is
not matter of politics, it is one of edu-
cation.
Meanwhile there is a chance for Raj
eigh to do something. few thousand
dollars invested in lodging and boarding
houses near the college would not only
help very greatly to build up the col
uaege and relieve the pressure on it for
rooms and board, but would attract to
the college and to the city a larger num-
Der of wealthy students from other
States. Already the fame of the college
has spread abroad and applications have
been received and rejected from very
many other States There is no reason
why Raleigh should not become the ed-
ueational center of the South, and the
Agricultural and Mechanical College the
greatest and finest chronological school
in the South. Certainly the college au-
thoritios have shown themselves able to
organize the institution most efficiently
and to attract an amazingly large pat
ronage.
Surely the State and city will touch
shoulders with the college authorities
by supplying the necessary buildings and
equipment.

AS TO MIXED SCHOOLS.

An editorial which appeared in this
i, paper on the fourth of September, re-
| ferring to DIR. d. A. Long, the nominee
| of the Republican party for State SUI
perintendent of Schools, in his connec-
ton with mixed schools has brought a
reply from DR.. Long, which is publish
ed in another column.
Dr. Long makes no denial of the fact
that he was at the head of college in
which negroes were taught, but rebels
at the idea that this should be confound-
ed with "a little school with two or three
teachers, and a little handful of negro
and white girls and boys" as he ex-
presses it.
The reply of DR.. Long states that he
does not favor social equality, and pleads
justification of his course by the ex-
amples he cites. He draws some fine dis
tinctions in the matter with regard to
college and school,, the number of ne
groes who attended and the matter of
various parties going as students to col
leges to which negroes may be admitted.
But DIR. Long fails in getting at the
marrow of the matter. According to his
own statement, for sixteen years he was
at the head of a school, college if you
prefer. where negroes were admitted, to-
gether with not alone white boys, but
white girls also. He was the head OF
that institution, and must, If he attend
ed to his duties, have. had an oversight
of the education of these negroes. That
but one "full blooded" negro graduated
matters not, perhaps there were others
who entered and failed to graduate. 1t
is a case not on all tours with that of
men attending great universities where
the negro is admitted, and even if it were
that is not the case that is being con-
sidered.
Nowhere in the article was it said that
d. A. Long sought the Republican NOM
ination, but it was stated that he seeks
! to be put at the head of the State
Schools" and if he accepts, as it is
Judged he has, the nomination, he is GER
tainly seeking to be put at the head of
the State schools.
Dr. Long omits to say word concern
ing his opposition to the amendment,
and his work against it in the campaign
of 1900. He sought to keep the franchise
for the illiterate negro, and he is the
nominee of a party with an unclean
record of having placed negro men on
the school committees with the power to
visit and inspect public schools taught
by white men, no matter how much 1t
may now pirate of being 'clean.
Is the Dr. ID. A. Long, president OF
Antioch College. different from the DR..
d A Long, nominee of the Republican
party? Because Antioch College is a
close corporation, does not enter into
the question nor does it enter into the
question that it is situated in Ohio. Ii

A genuine Arabs harem has come

ears of the police, through the COM
plant OF a young Mexican girl. who
some time ago was prevailed upon TO
become an inmate, says the Mexican
Herald. The lord Of the harem was an
Arab known as AL lsham, who came
here with a number OF his tribe. and
finally set up housekeeping with four
comely damsels OF the tribe on Callejon
de la Rosa. The Mexican girl. whose
name was Soledad Gonzales, was taken
to the house, where some special mar
rage rites were performed. and she
was arrayed In Arab costume. She
was much disconnected at finding there
were four wives already. but says she
finally became resigned to the life.
Her lord and master gave her a severe
beating. however. and making her es-

DAVID HARUM.k

When William IT. Crane appears in ''Dayid Harum" tomorrow evening at Polls he will be surrounded by a com pany that is composed of a number of well known people, all of whom have earned regulations as slZillful deIinea- tors of character types. The organiza- fion was selected by Charles rohman, and he spent much time in gathering together people who, in bis judgment were best qualified for the portrayal of the characters in the play. Among those who have prominent parts in the comedy are William Sampson Charles J. Jackson, Frank Burbeck. Harry NJ. Blake. Sheridan Tupper, Guy Nichols, George F. Deyere. Jo- Eeph Rawley, ". H. Dupont. Charles Avery, Miss Miriam Nesbitt, Miss Kate Meek and Miss Lois Frances Clark. All of the principal characters of the book are in the play, and so are all the bright lines and quaint expressions. All Of the scenes breathe of the at mosphere of country town and the settings were all made after sketches taken in New York state where the scenes are located. Mir Cranes make up as Harum is particularly good and closely follows the description of the man given in the book. Of course most of the interest in the play cen terS in Harum. the love between him ana his sister. Aunt Polly, and the de- sire of David to bring John Lenox and pretty Mary Blake together. The closing act of the play is said to be exceptionally strong and to be full of human nature. Seats went on sale Ihls morning at 9, 50, 75 cents. S1 and $1.5O.
