soever of waging warfare on or antagonlz-

only seeking to eradicate an evil in its in
ception that will, and must inevitably
bring about untold misery and woe and
humiliation to the present and succeed

unchecked and unrebuked, and unhappily
we are called upon to deal with a doctrine
that if persisted in and carried to it's log-
cal ending will undermine and ultimately
pull down the pillars upon which the
foundation of this country is resting"
Speaking to his resolution Mr.. White,
hea dreferred to the certain had effects
of Bassett's views on race relations in
North Carolina and expressed the hope
that the men who voice public sentiment
and are looked to guide public opinion
would be brave enough, while speaking
out in their own behalf, also to go on re-
cord in condemnation of such doctrines as
Bassett had proclaimed.
Several members rose to say that as to
Bassett's views they had so gone on re-
cord in their papers, but they did not think
this was a proper time and place for do
ing so.
Editor King, of the Greenville Weekly,
thought the issue was Bassett, as Bassett
was at the bottom of the trouble and not
to condemn him was to endorse him. He
like Mr. Whitehead would vote for the
substitute if they were the only two to do
so.
Mr.. Johnson of Charity and Children,
hoped they would have the pleasure of
being the only two. He thought the asso-
citation would be in poor business when it
went to condemning Trinity, or any other
college.
Mr. Blair, of the Greensboro Christian
Advocate, wanted to repeat his objections
to any action whatever and asked permis-
sion to file later protest The permis-
sion was readily granted.
On the vote for his substitute, Mr.
Whitehead demanded a rising vote.
Three voted for it: Mr.. Whitehead, Mr.
King and Mr.. Cobb, of the Morganton
Herald.
LET these three votes be recorded on the
minutes by name, demanded Mr.. White
head
Yes" added Mr. Cobb, I'd like to go
on record on it,
Having received only three votes, the
substitute was lost, and the report of the
committee was then adopted by an aye

the attorney. has been indicted by the
grand jury on the charge of forgery in the
first degree. The indictment was returned
this afternoon. Blair was formerly gen
eral counsel of the Worlds Fair and for
several weeks has been confined in hos
pital.
The Indictment is the result of charges
filed by James T. Roberts an attorney at
one time employed in Blair's law office.
Roberts who. had been familiar with
pers and records in which he afterwards
based his charges that Blair was juggling
the finances of large estates committed to
his trust. That was more than three
years ago The story, however, did not
become public until the present grand
jury began investigation. Roberts fol-
lowing his appearance before that body
publicly charged among other things that
Blair forged deeds of trust and mortgages
ON which $4,000 was obtained from the
estate of the late Peter Blow, of St.
Louis, and that he counterfeited and used
the notarial seals of the Recorder of
Deeds OF ST. Louis and frequently en-
ployed walter F. Jenkins a purely fic-
titious parsonage to attest the documents
Blair characterized Roberts accusation
as tissue of falsehood woven around a
few grains of fact
Varying reports of Blair's condition
have been given from time to time to the
public. He is now reported to almost
fully recovered.
| A bench warrant will be issued for
Rlairs arrest and he will be required TO
! give bond.
| The Indictment is based specifically on
the alleged forgery by Blair of deeds of
trust given TO secure purported loans from
the Blow estate of which Bair, as one
of the trustees, has charge.
The indictment contains two counts,
| each devoted to the alleged forgery of a
deed. One deed of trust is for 500, 900
and was made in favor of John ID. Wyer.
The other is for $S,0OO in favor Of Michael
O'Laughlin. Both deeds, it Is alleged,
were forged in 1896.

Sad Death OF a Talented Young Woman
Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and Observer)
Kittrell, N. c., Dec. 3.-Our whole COM
munity is deeply grieved at the death tor
day of Miss Olive Allen, one of the most
estimable and gifted young ladies ever
reared in Vance county. Highly educated,
amiable, too gentle to have ever made an
enemy, but beloved and admired by all
for her high qualities of head and heart.
Her death is distinct loss to this com
munity.
Miss Allen held a position in the Dur
ham graded school and came home only
yesterday Rapid consumption is reported
to have been the cause of her death 1t
seems that her people, who live near Kit
trell, hardly knew of her illness till her
arrival. The suddenness of her demise
adds sadness to a sad occurrence. She was
just in the flower of a splendid young wo-
manhood, being scarcely twenty-five.
