Two Big North CarOlinians.

Observer readers know how highly it
has ever regarded DR.. Walter H. Page;
know how it esteems him for his great
ability and high character; how proud
il is of him as a North Carolinian.
Just in proportion to this regard, es-
TEEN n pride, in the same proportion
is its regret that he should have dined
and foregathered with the black men
at the banquet of the Unitarian Club
OF New York last week.. 1t must be
said, however, hat we feared some
thing for him when he went into the
business of educational ev~angelization
among his own people. If he had never
attached himself to the southern edu-
cation board he would never have at
tended this banquet. Now there is DR..
Edwin A. Alderman, another of the
able and accomplished men who a
gone away from US. But he

Orleans; they can't pull off any sort Of
a function there without him; and they
do say that at the celebration of
Founders Day" of Tulane University
week before last he was a sight in his
purple robe and cap.
Here are two of Jul people. both of
whom have acquired fame at a leap
DR.. Page as a great publisher, writer
and thinker; DR.. Alderman as a great
educator, orator and reconteur. DR..
Page has acquired wealth, among other
things: DR.. Alderman is still poor but
he still dimes with white folks only.
Yet If he sticks to the educational mis-
sionary movement, who will vouch for
him that he will not vary his
at the banquet board? You see what it
has brought DR.. Page to, and Page is
as strong a man as Alderman.-Char-
lotte Observer.

Powell as Base Ball League Buster

Powell as Base Ball League Buster.
A North Carolina IAN was l~eisurely
smoking a good cigar in the lobby of
the Piedmont.
"Say, do you know that man Alb
Powell, your Atlanta manager, is a
regular league buster?"
This fired at a newspaper man who

Hadn't heard of it," was the reply.
"Well, he is, for he more than smash

team we had a pitcher who could curve

and he was thesmain guy of our team.

howl, and came forth with the funds to
the team in such shape that it
would not be necessary to sell the best
man on it.
well, Powell left and went over to
lanother town, a member of the North
lCarolina league, bought two good play
lers there and broke up the team. He
went over to another town, bought two
lother men and played havoc with that
team.
Having completed his work of de-
struction in two of the towns Of our
league, he then returned to my town
and repeated his $500 for our pitcher.
The pitcher was sold, as the team was

WIRELESS ~TELEGRAPHY.
American-de Forest Company In
stallinE Plant at Hatteras.

By the time the government and sew
eral private companies complete their
arrangements, the Atlantic coast will
be thoroughly equipped with the wire
less biography system.
The Observation-Disclosures system Of
sending messages through the air, is
the latest in the field. The company
will have stations covering the Atlantic
coast from Newfoundland to Patagonia.
More practical points on the coast will
be covered first, but later the extern
sions will be made.
The present stations of the DeForrest
Company will be located at Sandy
Hook, Cape Hatteras, Savannah, Mo-
bile and at some point in Central
America. These stations are being
equipped with the very best instru-
ments, and will be for commercial pur-
poses principally.
Work on the Cape Hatteras station
has been in progress since the 18th of
February. Mr.. F. E. Moore, of this city,
is superintendent of construction. He is
working under the instructions of Mr..
@. H. Barber, the electrical and me-
chanical engineer of the company.
Lie tower WHICH IS being DullC al
Hatteras will be 205 feet high. The base
will be % feet square with a summit
of 8 feet square. On this will be erect
ed a mast almost as high again. Due
to the height of the tower and it's small
base, it will be held in position with
cables and anchors weighing an aggre-
gate of 100 tons.
The anchor are buried in the sand
some distance from the tower, and are
attached with rs cables. The teleg-
rapher's quarters will be located at the
base where the receiving and sending
instruments are placed.
The people who live in vicinity of the
tower have become alarmed at its
height and say they will move. They
have been assured by Mr.. Barber that
there is no danger, but still they know
something about Cape Hatteras winds,
n say they will be out of range Of the
tower when the next gale blows.
The station will be completed and in
operation by the first Of July. It will
have no connection with the govern
ment wireless service.
The DeForrest system is being in
stalled on nearly all of the coastwise
lines and will prove of great value to
commercial ENTHUSIASTICALLY Land
