The Rectitude of the Law.

Let nobody lose confidence in the
rectitude of the law The law is
right and just to ALL It's when law
is strained beyond it's natural and
legitimate limits that it appears to
be unjust and imperative. Lawyers
who are disposed to do SO can pro-
duce authority for almost any <heo-
ry they may choose to announce.
And judges following this method
are not without authority for decis-
ions which are unjust and which were
never contemplated by the original
trainers of the law. The leaving Of
the beaten path is the starting point
of error, both as to human and Di-
vine law.-Raleigh Times.
1t is the straining of the law be-
yond its natural and legitimate linn
its that the trouble comes in. If the
law was right and just to allit would
not be susceptible to so many differ
ent constructions and interpreted
tions. The very fact that lawyers
who are disposed to do SO can pro-
duce authority for almost any theo-
ry they may choose to announce, as
our contemporary says, shows that
the law is defective somewhere and
often imperative.

The Value of Athletics.



Many old people have grave doubts
about the practical value OF athlet-
les. They do not see wherein they
help their SONS ana they feel that it
detracts from study. There is no
doubt that too much attention to
athletics will cause students to neg
lect their books, but proper time
spent i'll exercise in rational ways
will give a clearer mind to master
the prescribed course
DR.. Henry Louis Smith, president
of Davidson College, himself splen-
did type Of the scholar and devotee
OF athletics. thus gives his conclu-
sions based upon actual measure
ments and observations of the stu
dent under his care:
'The students taking desultory ex-
ercise, or none at all, gained Z pounds
each; those taking regular athletic
training nearly twice as much, tho
eating the same fare and living under
the same circumstances as the first
| class. The athletes gained nearly an
inch and II half in 8 months, though
averaging over 81 years old; the
others grew less than half as fast
Each of these thirty men, on the av-
erage, will remain through life near
| ly an inch taller than if he had failed
to take this year of regular training.
The increase in lung capacity is
equally permanent and equally re-
ma!kable. To meet pneumonia and
consumption, the two deadliest enc
mics of the human organism. these
trained young men carry into life an
added lung capacity nearly twice as
great us that of the average student
| ''In consideration OF these facts
about which there is no fog of argu.
ment, theory or sentiment, is it not
time for parents and teachers to re.
alize that the growing body is al
most as plastic as the growing mind
and to cease their criminal neglect
of bodily training?'
He further advises that colleges
should have course of physical cul
ture with thoroughly equipped gym
nasiums and 'place the development
OF the body on the same plane as
that of the mind, and thus send tc
the service of the church and Of the
! world graduates who are equipped
not only with trained minds but will
square shoulders, deep lungs, al
erect bearing and a vigorous consti
tuition"

Dr. Charles ID. McIver, chairman OF
the board OF managers OF the reunion
held at Greensboro last week. has re-
ceived letter, of which the following
is a copy, from Hon. Hannis Taylor,
formerly American minister toSpain,
now OF counsel for the United States
before the Alaskan boundary COM
mission, at present sitting i'll Lon
don:
CARLTON HALL, PAIL MALL. LONDON, |
October 18th. 1903.
Charles d. McIver Esq. Chairman
Greensboro, n. G.:
Just line, my dear MIR. Chairman, to
tell you how deeply regret my inability
to be with you at the reunion of my ma
am in England, am continually con-
trasting the genius of the people here
with that of the people among whom |
was born. There is no State in the Union
perhaps, whose substructure is more
purely English than that OF North Caro-
lima. The main admixture has been with
other peoples from the British Isles
notably the Scotch The outcome has
been a homogeneous community, with
high ideals of morality, religion, govern
ment and law. Thus armed many of our
sons who have gone forth in the world
have been able to make their impress
upon other communities.
You do well to assemble in order to
honor those who have had the greatest
success in that regard. Your action will
incite others to still higher endeavor. No
matter how long a man may be severed
from the land Of his birth, no matter
what he may achieve in the home of his
adoption, he is ever whispering to him
SELF in the penetralia of his heart: What
verdict has been rendered upon my life by
my own peOple?' And as the end APP
proaches. he is ever comforting himself
with the hope that some day he may re
turn and die at home at last Please
remember me tenderly to all ofmy people
| who still remember me-
Faithfully yours in, love for the Old
North State, HANNIS TAYLOR.
This is an exceedingly handsome
letter, breathing throughout its
| writer's love of the State of his ma
| tivity, and it will be read by our peo-
pie with emotions Of pleasure The
| worth OF the reunion was not alone
| that it fed the fires of State love in
our resident population, but that it
rekindled affection for North Caro-
lima i'll so many nonresident ma
| tives
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois,
wrote DR.. McIver, on the 23rd OF
September, in response to an invita-
ton to attend the reunion: Il very
much regret that my engagements
are such that it is not possible for
me to be present. 1 really wish I
could be. ~
1t would have been a. pleasure to
the people of the State if the next
Speaker of the House could have at
tended the reunion He will be at
| the next one.

Patrick H. Winston's Speech.
News and Observer.

Among other talented and distin-
guished native North Carolinians,
residing in other States, invited to
speak at the reunion in Greensboro
October 18th and 18th, was Hon.
Patrick Henry Winston, of Spokane,
Washington, ex-Attorney General OF
that State He is IL man of brilliant
parts, and would have made a glow
ing address, that would have stirred
all patriotic hearts. 1t is with pro
found regret" that Mr.. Winston de-
clines. In his paper, Winston's Week

"North Carolina, hold fast to the
teachings and traditions OF yourfore-
fathers. A century of inherited learn
ing, virtue, valor, has made you, OF
all peoples. the most homogeneous.
"Nowhere is there Il people with

Winston, havecomet to breathe once
more the sweet air of the companions
OF schoolboy days. | love your State

glorious annals; | love its dead
matchless; love its living.'
There may be longer speeches de-
livered at the great Reunion, but
there'll not be one of finer quality OF
from heart that loves North Caro-
lima more devotedly. The whole
State will regret Mr.. Winston's en-
forced absence. 1t is a far cry from
Spokane to Greensboro

Colonel Turk. He has big body, a

JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS.
Deserved Tribute to a Useful rlan Es-
teamed Throughout The South.

Atlanta News.
In the temporary depression which
comes to the personal fortunes of John
SHELTON Williams he should be fully as
sured of the sympathy and confidence of
the South.
The president OF the Seaboard Air Line
Railway has been the most unique and
admirable figure of the industrial decade
in these Southeastern States. His ca
reer has been as brilliantly successful DIS
it has been benefcent and progressive.
And no one who knows the man, and
the motive and method of his life. will
doubt for moment his complete re-es-
tablishment in wealth and power And
to this confident expectation there are
added hundreds and thousands of genu-
inc wishes from all over the region OF his
helpful and hopeful activity.
Mr.. John Shelton Williams is yet u
young man, not having passed his forti-
eth birthday. The genius or Organlza-
tion-the genius of executive ability, and
of resolute and superb defense-rank him
high among the truly great industrial
| captains of the time.
The history of the Seaboard Air Line
Hallway is an epic Of constructive talent
and of cOnsummate financial tact. 1t
has been for nearly score of years the
history OF one man against IL well-nigh
irresistible syndicate of opposition, and
the marvel of it is that the one man has
Won And that he has triumphed in the
| unequal contest, the superb and poten-
| tial fact of the Seaboarl system is the
monumental proof. Out OF a few, far
! separate. comparatively ragged, and al
| together disjointed roads, the genius OF
this one man has constructed a compact.
cohesive and comprehensive system OF
railway, making serious rivalry with the
greatest railway combinations OF this
colossal day. And this, his creation, he
| has held against the strongest forces OF
| his time What he has lacked i'll capital
| he has filled out with tact and brains,
and with this ma sterful equipment he has
| held his place and his lines against alb
sorption and against consolidation. lie
| has resisted overture, force and diploma
cy; fought the omnipotence OF superior
capital; by sheer ''gumption and grit
has held intact the greatest system that
| preserves competition in these States and
has right by his masterful record OF
the name OF the "Pierpoint Morgan Of
| the South.
Surely this is an achievement that viii
explain the regard and admiration which
is felt everywhere in this section for the
young president of the Seaboard. Surely
this is a grateful basis upon which we
can rest the assurance of the good wishes
and the godspeed of the Southern people
to his rebuilding fortunes.
For as Southern man, he has fought
and finished and builded in Southern lin
it's and if he has fallen upon critical lines
of personal fortune, he has fallen with
| out fault, and will rise without stain.
