The Basset-Kilgo Affair.

To the Editor:-I hope you will pardon

but my actions are the outcome of the
outrageous proceedings of the students OF
Trinity College. BY their actin con-
junction with the defamatory utterances
of both Bassett and Kilgo)-of burning III
cfigy man, fully the equal, if not the
superior of either one, or all OF them put
together in one pile.
In the first place, Bassett stormed the
citadel of Methodism in the South. In the
second place Kilgo knocked its foundation
from under it, and in the third place the
students themselves have wantonly raised
the entire super structure.
From now on. it is vital question as
TO whether Methodism in the South, as
well as the usefulness of Trinity Col
lege, as an institution. has not received
an irreparable shock; and, there remains
in the mind of the writer at least, still
another very important point, should be
settled in manner satisfactory, not alone
to the Methodist denomination as church
but to every individual in the Southland
who loves his home and country, to-wlt:

TRUE METHODIST WRITES.
Is Shocked at Recent Goings on at
Trinity College.

To the Editor: l have just read with
deep regret the action of some of the
students of Trinity College after the de-
cision of the board of trustees. as to the
unfortunate Bassett case. To think that
set of students out of Christian homes
in North Carolina, and worse still, Meth
odst homes. would become so wild and
wrought up that they would stoop to the
low level of a mock lynching bee, and
that under the shadow and on the cam
pus of our UNCONVENTIONAL institution, is
too much for some of us TO believe.
The idea of those boys taking for their
subject on this occasion, so good a man
as Josephus Daniels and lynching him in
effigy, is an act that is condemned by
thousands on top of thousands of the best
citizenship of North Carolina, and 1 want
to say that they will live to see the day
of reaction. We are not. heathens, in
North Carolina. if some of us have not
had the privilege of a Trinity College

Raeford, N. c., Dec. 4, 19O3-Last
night our people enjoyed rare treat
in the shape of a lecture by Hon. R. B..
GLENN of Winston. His subject was "a
Noble Life" and in leading up to the in
evitable results of living such a life he
made most earnest and serious appeals
to the young men and women OF our
community to prepare themselves ply
sically, mentally and spiritually to lead
such lives. His line of thought was
along the line of education and well did
ne deliver some Wholesome advice and
good common sense. He contrasted the
natural wealth and advantages of Old
North Carolina with those OF other states
and proved to the satisfaction of every
one present that we need only educated
brains and hands to develop into the most
prosperous and enlightened country on
the globe. He pleaded with the young
people to cast aside shams and pretenses
and to get right down to hard study and
prepare themselves to meet the great re-
sponsibilities that were soon to rest upon
their shoulders. The lecture was oppor-
tune and in the proper spirit as we are

In your controversy in regard to the
Bassett utterances, l am with you-heart
and soul-as is every other true Caro-
linian who is not under some strange or
hypnotic influence.
The action of the representatives of
Trinity College emphasizes favorably AMI
virtually endorses two prominent and re-
pugnant ideas, viz
l. That social equality is right and
that the principle ought to grow in the
peoples estimation, and
2. That Booker Washington IS the
greatest man the South has produced IN
hundred years except, perhaps, Gen
eral Robert E. Lee.
The legitimate sequence of such con-
tention and virtual endorsation, might
make Trinity a mixed school with Book
er Washington in control, where the
principle of free speech could be beau
tifully exemplified by endorsing one man
in his expressions of criminal suggestions
and lynching another in effgy on account
of his courageous and timely criticisms
of them.
Very respectfully,

A Voice From Virginia.

To the Editor: 1 learn from the Balti-
more Sun that the trustees of Trinity Col
lege at Durham, N. c.. have declined to
accept the resignation of Dr. John s.
Bassett, their professor of history who
so greatly misunderstands the lessons of
history as to conceive the idea that they
show Booker Washington as the great
est man, except Robert E. Lee, that the
South has produced in hundred years. .
The trustees seem so sohcitous about
preserving Academic liberty" that the
suspicion appears not to have crossed their
minds that DR.. Bassett has displayed an
utter incompetence to grasp the lessons
of history. He may have the words of all
the text books at his tongues end, but
the sample he has given of what they
have taught him shows that he IS not
competent to read their lessons arght,
and that he should not be commissioned to
befog and befuddle the minds OF young
students
l notice that the young students of the
college hanged you in effigy for the pa
triotic part YOU took in exposing DR.. Bas-
sets silly and vicious nonsense. This
was done after the trustees had rendered
their decision. l blush for those thought
less Southern boys, and Christian charity
forbids me to speak my opinion of the
Academic liberty which is championed
by a majority of the trustees of Trinity
College, of Durham, N. G.
