DEATH OF JOHN r. MORRIS,

remarkable man. The Charlotte Oh

contributions, said:

that he was the victim of fatal mala-

unswerving fidelity to them, his infinite
jest, his inimitable humor, his prince

and for others only cared to live. He

DIR. BASSETT REMAINS.

The gentlemen who compose the

action with reference to DIR. Bassett's
resignation we have little com ment to
make. They are the guardians OF The

if they acted wisely it Will he all the
better for the college il they acted un-

STATE PRISON PROFITS.

News and Observer. 9th.
Nessrs. w. e. CEosland and J. P.
Kerr, directors, and J. S. Mann, super
intendent of the States Prison, return
ed yesterday from three days. in
spection of the State farm in Halifax
county.
J. P. Kerr, in talk with the News
and Observer reporter last night, said
that the prospects for good crops on
the farm, which were regarded as hope
full during the summer, have not been
realized.
"The cotton crop, which is the money
producer on the FARM" said Mr.. Kerr,
"was fully one month late this year,
and frost came fully two weeks earlier
than usual, and the result is but little
If anything more than a halt crop.
Last year. with 1900 acres in cotton
the yield was 1877 bales. This year,
with 400 acres in cotton but little
more than 700 bales can be hoped for.
The only bright spot IN the cotton sit
uation is the price. We have not sold
pound OF cotton yet, and if the price
continues to advance we may realize
as many dollars from this years crop
az last"
"The corn crop is the only tull yield
we will have On the State farm this
year." said Mr.. Kerr, "and the price
will probably be low, as there is a
great abundance of corn throughout
the country"
When asked as to the showing like
]y to be made by the States Prison in
its forthcoming annual report to the
Governor, Mr.. Kerr said he thought
it would be creditahle to to the man.
agement and satisfactory to the people
of the State, even if 1t did run below
estimates made upon conditions earlier
in the season. After leaving supplies
on the farm to meet all the demands
for stock during the coming year, and
after paying every cent of the running
expenses of the prison, Mr., Kerr thinks
there will be surplus in cash and farm
products estimated at current prices of
from $65, COO to s70,O00. This surplus
will come from the cotton crop, the
peanut crop ard the corn crop, added
to what Will be realized from the sale
Of hay and fodder rot necessary for use
on the farm.
"che short cotton crop on the State
farm is not the exception in the Roa-
noke section OF the state,' said Mr..
Kerr. "Few, ii any, farmers down that
way will gather oyer a half crop this
year, but they are all in good spirits
and hopeful. There Is much consola-
ton as we'll as compensation In. the
present price OF the feecy staple"

FOOLISH COLLEGE STUDENTS.

The students OF Trinity College acted
very foolishly in hanging Editor jose
phus Daniels in efigy when they re-
ceiyed the news that DR.. Bassett's resig-
nation was not accepted
If they felt great regard for DR.. Bas-
sett and wished to give expression OF
that feeling to the public, they could
have done so with much more manli-
ness and dignity by drawing up resoIu-
tions expressing their appreciation o1
the confidence the trustees showed in
DIR. Bassett. If they Lad done this
and had sent resolutions to the press
they would have been published.
Doubtless Mr.. Josephus Daniels would
have published them in the News and
Observer, and thus would have afforded
L0em uGHuS W SHcNiUS tUSlT SclSS

Stiffness and blackguardism,
If those studen is wished to do Editor
Daniels an injury they resorted to
the wrong method. Their abusi We
course has drawn Editor Daniels
friends closer to him and has also made
him new friends.
1t was very foolish thing, to put it
In the mildest form, and many OF
them will live to reiaizs the supreme
folly OF 1t all.

THE EXTRA SESSION CLOSED.
to The Commonwealth.

Correspondence to The Commonwealth.
Washington, D. c., Dec. Z, 1908.
The "Do-Nothlng" Congress, as the
present extra session has been called
owing to the inactivity OF the Repub-
lican majority, is about over. The last
session of the Senate lasted half an
hour and that of the House FIVE min
utes. Not single act of Congress has
been passed since the extra session
began and the subject for which it was
convened by the President has been
postponed until the regular session,
when the Cuban reciprocity bill will
be voted upon December 16. AS it Is
certain to pass there will be reciprocity
between this country and Cuba by De-
cember 26.
The present question before the Re-
pubIlcans is how to end the extra ses-
sion allow it to die of inanition, or
end it just before the regular session
by passing an act to adjourn. In the
matter of adjournment each House is
waiting for the other.
The Democrats have been active dur
ing this session. During the short
periods allowed by the majori-
ty for debate In the House, the Demo-
cratic leader, Mr.. Williams, has expos
ed the Republican position on the tar
if question, has demanded reciprocity
with Canada and censured the MAORI
ty for the failure of Congress to trans
act any business. In the Senate Sena.
tor Morgan made long speech expos
Ing the administration policy toward
Columbia, and Senator Carmack in.
troduced a resolution calling fer an in
vestigation of the post office scandals
by a committee OF the senate.
The present session has brought out
the fact that there is much misunder-
standing and mistrust between the Re-
publican Senate and House. Speaker
Cannon's severe criticisms of the Sen
ate's method of transacting business is
remembered since the end of the last
Congress, when he made his famous
speech, and his attitude on the question
has not changed. His refusal to agree
to the Senate's wish to adjourn was an
Indication of it, which called forth bit
ter criticism from the Senators during
an executive session. This does not
portend harmony in the Repu blican
party.
The Panama canal treaty will be
sent to the Senate for ratification in
about ten days. It will no doubt be
approved, as the Democrats will not
take advantage uf their power to pre-
vent it. There will no doubt be much
debate on the subject and it will begin
Immediately after the passage of the
Cuban bill. The methods of the ad-
ministration in bringing about the
teeaty will be more discussed than the
treaty itself, which gives this country
all the concessions desired.
The promptness with which the
treaty was ratified on the Isthmus,
shows that the people of Panama real
lie that without the help of the United
States they would be absolutely at the
mercy OF Columbia, and also that the
present American government is not
giving them this protection for MOTH

FOUND ONE HONEST MAN.
River Captain Astorished at Evidence
Of Conscience

When the steamer Queen City ar
rived in port this morning the CHIEF
clerk, A.. B. Brown. handed Capt.
James A. Henderson, a letter from
New Martinsvile (W Va.) resident.
inclosins ST. The sender who did
not give his name. said that it rightly
belonged to the boat. he having rid
den ON the vessel and not paid his
fare. The passenger evidently had be-
come conscience stricken. Capt. Hen.
derson said that he had been identi-
fed with the river interests for years,
has heard thousands of hard luck
stories told by persons who would
beg for transportation, saying that as
soon as they got home they would
send the money, but no money was
ever paid in the many instances he
knows Of. Capt. Henderson said that
the letter received to-day is the first
one of the kind he ever knew to be
received by any steamboat and as the
incident is so rare, the letter and the
dollar bill will be framed and hung in
the Office of the Pittsburg

Value of French Titles.

The periodical efforts of this or that
Jealous legislator in France to do
something towards abolishing French
titles OF nobility have been made to
langu;sh. temporarily, at least, by an
utterance of the Prince de Lucinge-
Faucigny. who says: What prestige
do titles of nobility confer in these
days? They are sold, bought, and
often taken, so they are no longer of
much Importance. The names of the
old French families can well dispense
with any handle" So he declares him
self in favor of the complete suppress
sion of titles, since, with the abolition
of the genuine ones, all the sham IT,
ties. which throw ridicule on the real
aristocracy, will disappear.
