NOT UNANIMOUS.
There are Students at Trinity Against
Bassett and Against LynChing.

The impression sent out from Durham
that all the students in Trinity College
stand by Prof. Bassett is incorrect. It is
also untrue that ali participated in the dis
graceful hanging in effigy.
1t was learned yesterday that devoted
Methodist mother, who has a son at the
college, was so incensed when she read CT
the anarchistic hanging in effigy that she
wrote to her son that if he engaged in it
he ought himself to be hung. The son re-
piled that he did not engage in the hang
ing mob spree and that he and others had
no part in that and did not join in the
appeal to retain DR.. Bassett, but out OF
respect to the known desires of the faculty
took no part in the meeting asking for
DR.. Bassetts retention.
There will be found other boys who
will speak out when they go home. They
20 not feel free to do so at Trinity Col
lege where freedom of speech and the al
l:mitable freedom of the human mind
are permitted only to those who think as
the dominant power think.

GEN. DAVIDSON is HERE.
Senator Webb Says the Mountain
Democrats Think They are En-
titled to the Governt rship.

Cen T. +. Davidson, of Ashevile is in
the city attending the Supreme court
General Davidson is a candidate for Gov
crnor and his friends will make q strong
fight for his nomination.
Last night Senator Webb. of Asheville,
who is also here attending the Supreme
court, speaking of General Davidson,
said
Yes, General Davidsons name will be
presented to the convention for the nomi-
nation of governor, and we are going to
vigorously push his candidacy and urge
his nomination.
THE fact that General Davidson has
not made a personal canvass, as some OF
the other candidates have done, does not
mean that he has no interest in the con
test, but on the contrary, he is deeply
interested in it. He has supporters in
every section of the State. and they are
urging his nomination. They know his
eminent fitness to be Governor, and they
believe that the next Governor should
come from the mountain region
1--WE think he is the logical candidate
for the nomination. The present Cover
nor and senior United States Senator are
from the Eastern part of the State; the
junior Oulleu StdtcS oclIellOl IL from JIlt
Piedmont section and lives within fifty
miles of the other three prominent can
ddates. These facts being true, it does
seem to us that the fair thing for the
Democracy to do at the next convention
will be to nominate General Davidson fol
Governor and then all sections of the
State will have had just recognition in

self, AN old coffee cooler ard had always
drank very strong coffee.
About a year ego he complained OF Q
feeling OF faintncss every time after
his office stairs ard was also
troubled by terrible headaches that al
most drove him wild.
He gradually grew weaker and weaker
until his affliction eliminated in nervous
collapse and for weeks he seemed to lie
fading away from us in spite OF ali our
efforts.
THE physicians pronounced him strong
and well with no organic trouble what
ever and there seemed to be nothing the
matter except the complete giving out Of
his nervous system
The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal in it's place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee and
began drinking Postum and now says he

station, was seriously slashed with razor
in the hands of Noble Ceaphes, S27 Ellis

place under arrest
Tulis, with Patrolmen Musgrove and
Samuels, was walking along Senate avenue,
near Georgia street, when they noticed
two men moving suspiciously. as If de-
string to avoid the police. across the street
in front of them. The patrolmen believed
one of the men to be Warman Flack, who
Is wanted at the workhouse, having made
his escape from that institution some time
ago. They started in pursuit and the men
separated. one going across the street and
the other stepping into an alley. The man
in the alley they believed was Flack and
Tullis. who was a few feet in advance of
the police, attempted to grab the man as
from his pocket and cut Tullis across the
left cheek and the chin. One cut narrowly
missed the jugular vein. Patrolmen Sam
uels and Musgrove caught the negro az
once and sent him to the police station
where he was locked up for assault and
battery with intent to kill.
Tulis was taken to the City Dispensary
where his wounds were dressed by DR..
Mackey, after which he was sent to his
home in carriage. He will probably not
suffer any serious effects from his wounds,
although they were deep and painful, and
will probably disfigure him for life.

Rehabilitation Services Held at Which
story of Humble Beginning Was
Told by Mr.. Anderson.

The West Washington-street Presbyterian
Church, West Washington street and Miley
avenue, was rededicated yesterday. The
Rev. j. c. Christie addressed the congrega-
ton at the morning services on ''Encour-
agements from the Past to go Forward In
the Future" in which he referred to the
steady growth of the church in the past
few months and said that he hoped his
church would continue to grow as 1t has
done since he accepted the pastorate last
May.
A Sunday-school rally was held in the
afternoon at the church and an address was
made by Miss Buchanan, one of the repre-
sentatives Of the Sunday school Associa-
ton in this State, who spoke upon the
work Of the association. w. O. Anderson, a
deacon in the Tabernacle Presbyterian
Church, also spoke.
The West Washington-street Church has
been under the control of the Tabernacle
Church for a number of years and it has
just become an Independent organization.
Mr.. Anderson's remarks related TO the his
tory of the church, relating that a start
was made with only two members coming
to prayer meeting held in a little brick
building, but by perseverance the members
were able to build the handsome church OF
to-day and instead of two members there is
an enrolment of 300 members.
The pastor spoke on Strength for the
Day at the evening services. AT all the
services yesterday there were special must
cal numbers.
