Seen in this ArticIe-An Explana-
ton of the Trouble.

The colored people OF this town seem
to he having considerable trouble with
their schools. and it Is all the result of
. s,etarianism, which pervads the MEM
h Rs of their Board Ii also affects
others who ale interested in the school
work Now that the colored people of
the town have a nice school bui ding,
IL Iooks as if ali The efforts which have
M Aen put forth by the white people to
Aynrove their schools is to be thrown
svay. al because there is division on
oocount of the churches. III troub e
arises iii the fact that both churches
want the holor Of running the schools
One thing is sure and the colored peo-
nIe had better take warning, unless
thev come together ard work in har-
monv the the money expended will lie
simply wasted and Do good results
achieved.
A movement had been made to have
a dedicatory exercise at the new school
adifice and all had to lie riyen up fe-
cause of the present state of affairs that
exists in the churches The coloTed
neople are always talking about not
getting the proper aid from the white
neople in the struggle for higher and
better education. The fault, however,
ia not in the whites, as they are always
ready and willing TO aid any worthy
cause. but it is in the colOred people
when given good and valuable oppor-
tunities 1quandeg them in su Ii way
that the white people who help them
he .ome discouraged aud have no in
.niration to lead the helping hand.

The Congress of the United

by the coal question. Ii has been
coal, coal. coal. in both the House
and the Senate, and the agitation
of the question has shown up the
false pretense and hypocrisy of the
Republican party and the sincerity
of the Democrats i'm their endeavOrS
to dO something in the interest of
the people who are freezing to
death all over the North while the
anthracite coal barons are showing
up the price and reaping the har-
vest of dollars. The agitation has
resulted in the elimination of the
tariff of 90 cents "A ton on anthm-

Address of Rev. DR.. Hopkins.

a well filed house greeted DIR.
Hopkins on Monday afternoon
when, at the invitation of the j.
r. b. Stuart Camp. he delivered
an address at Winston Hall ON the
character of Gen. Robert f. Lee.
The distinguished orator handled
his subject in a mastery manner.
and for an hour and half receiv-
ed-the closest attention of his hear
ers. He told his audience, in effect.
that the observance of the birth
day of Robert +. Lee was not a
matter of mere sentiment, but was
OF material and practical value:
that the disposition OF every human
being to initiate what he greatly
admires, rendered it important to
hold up To contemplation the quail
tiles of mind and heart that made
General Lee not only the hero of
the century in which he lived. but
the most sublime human character
the world has ever known. The
speaker dwelt on his unseIfishness.
torbearance, gentleness. modesty.
magnanimity, his love of his
country and countrymen. his great
mental and physical courage. and
his skill as a leader of armies. He
spoke to the boys and girls i'm the
audience particularly of his love
for his mother. and the Difference
and tenderness with which he al
ways treated her; of his conduct
and bearing aS pupil at school.
ms obedience to and respect for
his teachers, and the exactncss
with which he put the finishing
touch to his school work. and
pointed out to them that these
habits formed the foundation upon
which he built the structure of
his beautiful character.
The address was of great educa-
tional value. and can not fail To
leave an enduring impression.
