THE HERALD yesterday. 1t was an

would meet last evening, when it
should have been the Woodmen of
the World. AS a result, several citi-

ders, got themselves in a pickle
and afforded much amusement to
other members. There were mem
bers present who had not attended
in several months. and these, upon
seeing persons who they knew were
not Knight of Honor members, be-
came inquisitive as to their presence.
The mistake was soon explained
and a good meeting held. And THE

is, that small fields we'll and care

WANT THE COLLEGE
An Invitation to Greensboro
Female College.
lhe Progressive Ciiz ms Of Dunn Tend,r Sill, :

divine injunction. The good faith in the
Importance of the Greensboro Female
College as an important factor IN the
education of the women of North Caro-
ina was proven among our citizens on
Tuesday when a few of them came to-
gether and raised eleven thousand dollars
in cash and one of the number rendered
a beautiful site to be offered the college,
provided the location was changed. This
was done in less than two hours time and
with a reasonable time to bring the
matter before our people the amount can
be doubled two or three times.
Dunn is always on the alert and if
there are any good things moving around
seeking a field, an invitation is offered
by her people The college is a good
thing and we all realize that it would
mean much for this part of the State
There is only one other female college
in the Eastern part of the State the
Christian College at Wilson. The field is
an inviting one and we trust the tender
OF our citizens may meet with some con-
sideration.
The most important thing in the loca-
ton of an institution Of this kind is the
health condition OF the community. In
this Dunn offers a most ideal location
Her past record is not surpassed by any
town anywhere in the State.
The second most important thing to the
institution is the spirit of the people in
the community. For the institution to
flourish and prosper the people must
manifest thrift and progressiveness. Dunn
is the home of both these qualities
The third important feature is the ma
terial for the college. The location of
Dunn places it in touch with a very large
territory and from this standpoint the
location is not exceled anywhere The
railroad facilities are excellent and the
moral tone of the town and community
is as good, and far surpasses that of many
towns of the State.
The invitation is extended. What will
be the result?

SKIN TORTURES

Thousands Of wretched
people are miserable driven
almost mad by the terrible
itching and burning sensation
of Eczema and other skin dis
eases; many imagine they are
suffering from bad blood,
when as matter of fact the
blood has nothing to- do with
it. These awful tortures are
caused by little germs that
attack the skin externally,
which can be rooted out i'm a
hurry, leaving the skin clear,
soft and healthy. Such misery
now cleared away as surely
as the sun shines above. Not
merely attempted, not a mat
ter of improvement merely,
not a temporary reIief--but a
clearing of it all away abso-

COURT CAN GIVE NO REMEDY.

A New Orleans negro by the name OF
Paul Sigg has brought suit IN LOUISIANA
in the Federal court, the object OF which
is to have the grandfather clause declared
unconstitutional and void. The Outlook,
commenting upon this suit, says:
without wishing to anticipate the de-
cision of the Supreme court, we are IN
chned to the opinion that in this case, as
in the Alabama case, the petitioner will
fail to secure the relief for which he asks
The Fifteenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, providing that 1.-The
right of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States. or by any State, on
account of race, color. or previous con-
dition of servitude" also provides that
1.-The Congress shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate legisla-
ton" Until Congress shall have taken
some action under this clause to enforce
the provisions of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, we very much doubt whether the
Federal courts will interfere to declare
the suffrage provisions of the State void,
and to direct the names of voters under
that provision to be stricken from the
register. While all that the Supreme
count decided in the Alabama case
was that it could not be asked TO
enforce law alleged by the plain
TIT 20 be void, it lmplIed that
the appeal by any voter who counted him
self as wronged must be, in the first in
stance, to the political branch of the Gov
eminent for appropriate legislation. In
our judgment, if the registrars in any
State refuse to register as voters citizens
who are entitled to registry under the
laws of the State, the remedy of the citi-
zen is in the first place, an appeal to the
State courts: if the State law is itself
unconstitutional, the remedy is, in the first
place, to Congress for the necessary legis-
lation to enforce the clause of the United
States Constitution which the State law
is supposed by the complainant to dis
regard.
Will Congress attempt to enact cap
propriate legislation" and reopen the
Pandora box of woes There has been
more than one suggestion to that effect,
but the general impression is that it will
not be attempted during the coming SEES
sion of Congress unless it is necessary to
inaugurate a bloody shirt campaign to
help the Republican national ticket next
year

THE FARMERS CONVENTION.

The authorities of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. acting in concert with
the State Board of agriculture. have ar
ranged to hold Farmers Convention to
be held at the A. & NJ College, West
Raleigh, on the 21st, I'D and 23rd of
July 1t is to be Farmers Convention
nothing more, nothing less. Farmers are
to be invited to compose the audience
and do the talking. The indications are
that very many are coming and that it
will embrace representative men Iwho
have done much to advance the interests
of the States greatest industry.
In the new life and growth of the State
in manufacturing, agriculture has not been
backward. Though it has enjoyed no
special favor, North Carolina farmers have
ut,Dzed the advantages of soil, climate,
better knowledge, and Investigation, and
there has been a steady advance in agri-
culture. 1t is to confer together, to re-
count what has been done to compare
methods, to study soils and fertilizers
and climats, to plan future improvements,
to increase the love of North Carolina
boys for the soil-it is for such objects
as these that this convention has been
called.
1t is hoped that the attendance will be
very large. All farmers will find com
Portable and pleasant lodging and board
at the A. & M. College at such low rates
as will make the trip inexpensive This
coming together, lodging and boarding
together, and comparing notes and ex-
perlences will prove of both pleasure and
profit TO all who come. Let hundreds of
farmers come and have a good time while
they learn more about their calling.

A SOUTH CAROLINA HEROINE

In "A Carolina Cavalier a delightful
historical novel that appeared last year.
there was thrilling story of South Car
DINA heroine that made the blood tlngle
There are in real life stories of heroines
of other days, but none of them show
nerve and heroism of higher order than
Was displayed a few days ago by Miss
Mary Creech, of Barnwell, S. c., who is
still in her teens. She is the daughter OF
the sheriff who was absent from home
when a mob came to secure and lynch a
prisoner. Here is the story of her heroism
briefly told in the Geographic account:
THE Jail adjoined the Sheriff's house.
and he left the key with his daughter.
The young woman was called to the front
door about 10 O'Clock. She found the yard
full of masked men. They declared they
had come to hang Moore. Miss Creech
said she would bring the keys from her
fathers room.
She was back at the door in half a min
ute, but the moon fell on the barrel of
repeating rifle which was leveled. The
girl ordered the mob to scatter and they
scattered.
There was no lynching. Men intent
upon taking the law IN their hands were
compelled to stop and think as they look
ed into the determined eyes of that brave
girl and looked down the barrel of her
repeating rifle She did them a great
kindness, too, for most of them had doubt
less gathered without time for reflection.
Miss Creech's name deserves to go
among the immortals of her sex whose
deeds have been preserved in song and
story 1t needs only a poet of like
ability to make her as famous as the
young woman who saved her lover when
she did not permit the curfew bell to
ring. That girl of Cromwell IS reign had as
the incentive to her noble act, saving the
life of her lover-the strongest that could
appeal to woman. The twentieth century
Palmetto State girl had no such heart in
centive. She was in a position of trust,
holding the place of her father in his
temporary absence. How well she was
worthy of the trust reposed in her is seen
in her victory over the mob.
