CENTENNIAL OF WEST POINT ACADEMY

West. Point, June 10.-The celebra-
ton of the Tooth anniversary of the
founding of the United States mill
tary academy at West Point began
yesterday. The ceremonies will on
tinue for four days.
In accord with chronological fitness
this, the first day, was alumni day, and
there are many old ~campaigners here

envy had reached it's fftieth birthday.
There is one general here who was
graduated in 1912, sixty years ago. He
is James Longstreet, the Confederate
general and Lees old war horse. His
name heads the list Of graduates print

and of all preceding classes sat on the

THE APPALACHIAN PARK BILL.

Of this measure a Washington news
paper correspondent says:
"While the bill will in all probability
pass the Senate, recent developments
indicate that it cannot pass the House
this session. The speaker has advised
that the measure be kept in the back
ground until the short session of Con-
gress. This policy is advised because
of the fact that the present Congress
is about to pass into history as a bill
lion dollar affair, and the growing hos
tility to all large appropriation meas
ures at this late day in the session.
Senator Pritchard and Congressman
Moody, who have worked like Trojans
for the park measure, have not given
up hope for action at this session, and
they are hopeful of success. Their &C
tivity in behalf of the project has
placed it on a strong footing before
the nation, and it is the general belief
that they will ultimately win. Favor
able action by Congress in the House
at this late day in the session in the
light of what Speaker Henderson has
said, is not altogether fattering."

POLITICAL NEWS ITEMS,

A boom was started recently to nom

A feature of the Arkansas Stats
Democratic Convention was the ova-

of Senator Jones opposed the resolu-

of the Convention. The resolution
was adopted by a vote of 420 to T.

sTANLY COUNTY SPEAKS FOB BETTER
ROADS

Our commissioners on Monday
adopted the new road law, to which we
have frequently referred of late. The
agitation begun by us a few months
ago has eliminated in the request
from over three hundred good citizens
of the county, all of whom are land
owners and taxpayers, that the new
law be adopted, and in the granting
of their request, the commissioners
have done the only proper and wise
thing to be done, and their act will in
years to come reflect credit upon them.
The tax levied is small to begin with.
but sufficient. The special tax levied
heretofore has been discontinued, and
the road fund tax does not increase
the tax in any way over what it has
heretofore been. We are sure that
the dawn of a brighter era in the prog
ress of Stanly County is now begun,
and in this small beginning we conf
IDENTIFY expect development of great
possibilities. We are glad to have
aided the cause, and thank all who
have c~ooperated with US in securing
the new system for our county.-Stan-
~ Enterprise.

EDUCATION IN THE sOUT5,

Giving full credit to the South's re-
markable industrial development, the
fact remains that its best work Is In
education. More is being done than
most people suppose. The Peabody
fund of $3,5OO,OOO, in spite of the loss
of $1,38O,OOO in the repudiated bonds
of Mississippi and Florida, has fur
nished within thirty-three years near
ly three millions of dollars for edUcat-
ing teachers for the public schools.
The million dollars given by John F.
Slater in 1882 for educating the ne
groes has increased to $1,50O,000, and
has done great and growing good OF
the scores of colleges and universities;
Vanderbilt in Tennessee, and Tulane
in New Orleans have endowments- OF
over a million dollars each; the UnE-
versity of Texas has $2,600,000; Wash
ington and Lee in Virginia has nearly
a million, and others have from one to
even hundred thousand. In the "a
rious collegiate institutions there are
about 10000 students. Add to all these
figures the 100000 pupils enrolled in
the public schools, and the showing
becomes impressive. Here is not only
the hope but the assurance of the
South's progress and prosperity.-Sat~

Rev. Dr.. Francis L. Patton has re-
signed as President of Princeton Uni
versity, and Woodrow Wilson, profess
sor of Jurisprudence and politics, has
been chosen as his successor. This an
nouncement was made at the conclu-
sion of the annual commencement last
week. President Wilson is of North
Carolina ancestry.
Another of the big supply bills of
the Government was disposed of by the
Senate last week, the Naval bill, car
rying more than $78,OOO,OOO being
passed. It includes provisions for two
first class ~battleships, two first class
armored cruisers and two gunboats;
but strikes out the House provision
that one of each shall be built at Gov
eminent yards.
The Governor of Alabama last week
pardoned George Howard, Martin Full
Ter and John Strength, three of the
four white men convicted in Elmore
County of lynching the negro Robin
White, and sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary. TIE case is famous
as the only instance in Alabama where
a white man has been convicted of
lynching a negro. The men had
served one year.
The arrangements for the disposal
of the surrendered Beers are al
most complete. No large concentra-
ton will be allowed in the outlying dis
tricts, owing to the difficulty which
might arise in feeding the people.
Those burghers who can subsist upon
their farms will be given ten days ra-
tions and allowed to begin their new
life Immediately. Those who are una
bic to subsist will be permitted to join
their families in the camp and remain
there until their homes are once more
made habitable. All others will be di-
vided among the various camps.
At the suggestion of the historical
department of the State of Mississippi
it has been decided to set apart a room
in the new State capitol just being
completed as a Mississippi hall of
fame. The director of the depart
ment accordingly has sent a circular
letter to all editors of the State, ask
ing them to open their columns to a
popular vote to determine what Mis-
sissippians are entitled to the honor
of having their portraits placed in this
hall. The selection will be determined
by the newspaper vote.

rHE COAL STRIKE.
What the Trouble is and What the Results
Nay Be.

the Trouble is and What the Results
May Be. /
The strike, of 100000 miners in the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylva-
MIA, which began on May u, had for
it's object the forcing of three conces-
sions from their employers: First, an
increase of 20 per cent for men paid
by the ton ; second, a decrease of 20
per cent in the working hours of those
paid by the day, and, third, the weigh
ing of coal at the pits mouth. In these
points of difference it will be seen that
no principle is involved. The contest
is between three or four coal carrying
railroads, who W all but about 5 per
cent of the anthracite coal mines, and
the United Mineworkers' organiza-
ton.
The "prosperity" of the country has
so advanced the cost of food and cloth
ing that the miners contended they
could not live on their wages, and in
addition to this they claim hat the
companies cheated them in weighing
the coal, compelling them to mine Is
much as 5000 pounds for the price of
a ton. The coal companies have been
steadily advancing the price of coal to
keep pace with prosperity, but could
not afford to advance wages. The
miners made their requests and repre-
sented that the increase in the cost of
living was in effect a reduction of
their wages, and that the prosperity of
the country was starving them and
their families. Their petition was re-
jected. Then they asked that the mat
ter in dispute be submitted to arbi-
tration. The usual answer was re-
turned: There was nothing to arbi-
trate and they intended to manage
their w property in their own way.
The companies were apparently per-
fectly Indifferent to the strike. It is
true that it may result in bloodshed
and disturbances, in enormous bills
for the taxpayers to foot in protecting
the mines-possibly with the military.
But what is that to the companies ?
It is true that the industries of a great
part of the country may stop, that
thousands and tens of thousands may
lose their employment and suffer for
their daily bread, that investors may
lose their dividends, upon which many
have to depend for a living, and that
the manufacturing and transportation
industries of the whole land may suf-
fer. It is true that families may have
to go without fuel to cook their meals
now and may suffer with cold next
winter. Still there is nothing to arbi-
trate. They must manage their own
property their own way. They look
c~omplacently upon the situation be-
cause they know that they are safe
from any loss. Their mines may be
flooded and great damage done to the
property, still that does not move
them. They know that it will only be
necessary to sum up the damage and
add it to the price of the coal. The
people will have to foot the bill. The
people must have coal, and they must
pay the price the coal trust demands,
and in the meantime the companies ex-
pect that the miners will be starved
into Observation-Disclosures Sun.

AsheVllle Cor. Post: A plan is on
foot to establish a large Baptist in
dustrial school in Western North Car
DINA under the auspices of the South
ern Baptist Convention. The project
was in embryo when the Baptist Con-
v%ention met here this spring, but re-
Gently sufficient developments have
been brought about to make the school
a certainty. Rev. o. L. Springfield is
at the head of the movement and his
successful management of the fnan-
cial agency of the Baptist University
at Raleigh augurs well for the sue
cessful establishment and career of
the proposed school. The plan is to
have a school situated Infancy Coun-
ty a few miles above Barnardville in
the mountainous section.
Goldsboro Cor. Post: Work is be-
ing pushed rapidly on the new tobac-
CO stemmery which will be occupied
by Mr.. Geo. E. Pritchard as the rep
resentative of the Imperial Tobacco
Company, which will be a new ice
on this market. Those who are in a
position to know say that the pros
poets for the Goldsboro tobacco mar
ket were never so bright as they are
at present. The recent rains have ma
terially improved the condition of the
crop and with a large local crop and
with an increased number of buyers,
which means more spirited COMPETE
ton there is every reason to believe
that the number of pounds marketed
here the coming season will be much
greater than any previous season. The
patrons of this market are confident
in any event, that Goldsboro will main
tain her enviable reputation for pay
ing the highest market price for the
golden weed.
