Resolutions Of Respect.

The following resolutions were passed
by the faculty of the University of North
Carolina on anuary 5th, 1903, and were re-
corded in the ournal:
The death of DR.. Henry Farrar Lins-
colt, Professor of the Latin Language
and Literature, has brought profound sor-
row to the faculty of the University of
North Carolina
AS scholar and as man. he won for
himself a place of rare distinction in the
esteem Of the University circles and of
the community at large.
Thoroughly equipped in scholarship, en-
dowed with intellectual gifts of high
order, he exerted an inspiring influence
over his colleagues and over the large
number of students whom he taught.
He was helpful and judicious in the
counsels of the faculty. He rendered in
valuable service as editor of important
University publications.
In all these things he was the reliable
scholar, the inspiring teacher, the eff
cient officer. But he was something more.
He was man of broad culture, cour-
teous gentleman, an affectionate, sympa-
thctic friend. The sweetness and gentle
ness of his disposition were the charm
OF those to whom it was given to know
him intimately.
To the family whose circle has been
broken by the departure of this chosen
member we respectfully offer our deep
sympathy

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Tomorrow night the joint Democratic
caucus will meet in the hall Of the House
of Representatives to nominate the sue
cessor to Senator Pritchard. 1t is earlier
than the date usually named for the Sem
atorial caucus, but 1t is satisfactory to
all the candidates and their friends.
Until the Senator is named, the Gen.
eral Assembly will not be ready to enter
upon the important legislation of the
session. The contest for Senator is the
absorbing question and will be upper
most in the mind of every legislator and
the general public until the caucus acts.
1t was argued by those in favor of an
early caucus that immediate action was
in the interest of expediting the public
business. Some doubted the wisdom Of
beginning the ballotting for Senator
Friday because it is an unlucky day. but
the result proves that this is not
superstitious Legislature.
To-day and tomorrow the contest will
be waged warmly and then the Demo-
cratic hosts will congratulate the nomi-
nee of the caucus.
May the best man win!

WHY NOT FOLLOW MECKLN-
BURG?

There are two farmers in North Caro-
lima to whom the whole State owes a
lasting debt of gratitude. Many years
ago when they were in the Legislature,
they secured the introduction OF a road
law for Mecklenburg county Under that
law Mecklenburg began to build good
roads. Before the good results were
seen, Captain Alexander and Captain
Audrey lost some of their popularity.
But as time passed, and the people of
Mecklenburg found that the roads had
paid for themselves ten times over,
Alexander and Audrey became the most
popular men in Mecklenburg county.
sThe report of Mr.. S. T. Stowe, superin-
tendent of the Mecklenburg roads, in his
report Just published in the Charlotte
News. shows that Mecklenburg has lis
miles of macadam road in that county.
Raleigh township has been making
good roads for some years. The road
district has been increased from time to
time. Hasn't the time come for Wake
county to follow Mecklenburg? Is not
this the year when we should make the
road district include all of Wake county
and build good roads In every direction
from the capitol?

The Legislature, which convenes tomor-
row had just as well make it's mind to
deal promptly and definitely with the
liquor question. Until it does take def
mite action it will be petitioned, impOr-
tuned and memorialized by the people of
this State. The majority of them have
agreed together touching this thing ard
the traffic must be speedily restricted.
The time may not yet be ripe for the
abolition Of the sale of spirituous liquors
in this State but every restriction
thrown around it is a step toward accom-
plishing this purpose which will sooner
or later be realized. Public sentiment is
we'll developed against the traffic and
when it condemns an evil. that evil is
doomed. Our legislators should take a
firm stand on this question and do all
in their power to restrict it in every
possible way. 1t is duty they owe their
State, and one which their constituency
will demand of them. No influence how
ever strong from the other side should
prompt them to sWerVe from their mani
fest duty.-Lumberton RobeSonsian.

last night the new Speaker was seen
without one bit gone from the geniality
of his usual smile, or one note lost from
the customary clearness of his tone, Or,

thing else does this show the quality of
the man we have for Speaker. Not even

Mr.. Fred. l.. Merritt, editor of the
Asheville Citizen, who is in Raleigh as
one of Mr.. Craig's warm supporters, tele-
graphs the Citizen as follows:
Craig starts out in the lead, despite
the extravagant claims made by some
OF the friends of the other candidates.
He is in fact, the only candidate who
has the solid backing Of his own district.
HE comes down to the Piedmont sec
ton with solid west. In addition to this
he is the second choice of nearly every
body.
mot far behind him on the first ballot,
as the situation stands today, would be
Overman and Watson. In fact the three
may be said to have equal strength.
Hence the victory is one for the future.
Certainly it is nobody's now and it is
safe to say that in the end it will be
one of second choice"
