MAGNIFICENT DONATION TO THE
UNIVERSITY.

Ex-Judge w. P. Bynum, of Charlotte,
who was an able member of the Supreme
Court bench up to 1877 has made do
nation of twenty-five thousand dollars to
the University to erect gymnasium as
a memorial OF his grandson, William Pres
ton Bynum, Jr.who died during his student
life at the University. He was young
man of fine abilities and gave promise of
a career that would add additional honor
to the name he bore 1t is fitting that a
memorial should be erected to him upon
the campus of the University, which
mourned the untimely death of its bril-
liant young alumnus.
The friends of the University will be
grateful to Judge Bynum for this generous
donation. The chief need of the institu-
ton is modern, well-equipped gymnas-
ium. and IN supplying it Judge Bynum
has given memorial of his talented
grand son that is peculiarly appropriate.
Except the Mary Ann Smith bequest
this is the largest single donation to the
University. said President venable yester-
dav. Since June of this year, in addition
to this donation of twenty-five thousand
dollars, friends and alumni have given
$4,000 for the erection of Y M. G. A

The Grievance of the Furniture Men
Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer)
Greensboro, n. c., Oct. 2.-The large
number of furniture manufacturers who
were in session in the Benbow House here
late yesterday afternoon were drawn
hither by a serious problem now soon to
confront all Southern manufacturers, to-
wit: must they abandon a well-worked ter
ritory for their goods, develop new terri
tory or decrease their business.
The furniture men say the railroads have
given them notice that freight rates to
points west of the Mississippi River will
be increased 25 per cent. after October
18th. The manufacturers say they cannot
afford to ship furniture and pay such an
exhorbitant freight rate. An effort will
be made to get the railroads to reconsider
their action and call off the increase in
rates.
Another question discussed yesterday
was the matter of insurance. They say
that in some instances factories are charg-
ed as high as $112.50 for insurance. This
they claim is out of all reason and that
the owners of the factories cannot afford
to pay such a rate.

Patrick h. wINsg0N's SPEECH,

Among other talented and distinguished
native North Carolinians, residing In 9th
er States, invited to speak at the Re-
union III Greensboro, October 18th and
18TH was Hon. Patrick Henry Winston, of
Spokane, Washington, ex-Attorney Cen
eral of that State. He is man of bril-
liant parts and would have made glow
ing address that would have stirred
ali patriotic North Carolina hearts 1t is
with profound regret that Mr. Winston
declines. In his paper, Winston's Week
ly, he prints the invitation, and writes
Il cannot go. But if l were present
would say:
North Carolinians: Hold fast to the
teachings and traditions of your fore
fathers. century of inherited learning,
virtue and valor has made you, of all
peoples, the most homogeneous.
Nowhere is there people with habits,
faiths and hopes so fixed. Nowhere is
there a people whose. past is more glori
Gus; whose future is more secure. Your
commonwealth is built upon imperishable
foundations; law, religion, virtue and
same spirit that animated your fore
fathers to bear the flag of the revolution
at Guilford Court House. that animated
your fathers to bear the banner of the
Lost Cause at Gettysburg, still dwells
within your breasts.
Across continent, from State where
now lives a son of Zebulon B. Vance and
SON of Patrick H. Winston, / have come
to breathe once more the sweet air of
childhood and mingle once more with
the companions of schoolboy days. 1
love your State-my State; 1 love its
history full. of glorious annals; 1 love
its dead-matchless galaxy of greatness;
1 love its living.
There may be longer speeches delivered
at the great Reunion, but there will not
be one of finer quality or from heart
that loves North Carolina more devoted
ly The whole State will regret Mr.. Win
ston's enforced absence. 1t is a far cry
from Spokane to Greensboro.

ABSOLUTELY SOUND.
What Negro Educator Says of This Papers
Position.

To the Editor:-I have just read with
profound interest and satisfaction your
editorial on 1.-TWO Novel Views of the
Negro Question" as expressedd by Bishop
Turner, of Georgia
Your comment in closing the editorial
must strike all thoughtful people as abso-
lutely sound and l wish every patriotic
individual of both would adopt it as a
safe basis on which to stand in all dis
cussions of the race question.
1t is not my habit to publish much on
this question-not because l have no fixed
views on the subject, but because l hest
tate to put in words what seems hard to
put into action.
l do wish now, however. to commend to
my race, as you do to your race, the
great practical wisdom of the words with
which you close this editorial, and I beg
to call special attention to them by quot
ing them herewith as follows:
For the people of the South-the in
dividual, of both races-the duty is for
each and every one to do the duty OF the
hour, to be just, honest, fair, helpful. NO
man can look into the future. God reigns

the statement that must furnish the ulti-
mate solution.

A "FEELER" FOB GEN. MILES.


There is no doubt that certain friends
of Gen. Miles have been putting out
~feelers' to ascertain if he would be ac-
ceptable to the South as the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. The recent
letter of Mr.. James Creelman in the New

from the outrf ge of putting shackles upon
President Jefferson Davis. followed soon
after a telegraphic dispatch from the
World to every member OF che Democratic
National Committee asking as to whether
the South would accept Miles Mr.. Jose
phus Daniels, member of the National
Committee from North Carolina, IN Ie-
sponse to a, telegram, wired the World
that the South would never forgive or
