Educational Effort of Today is For
Tomorrow.
New Bern journal.

To even the greatest believers and
strongest advocates of education in
North Carolina, there must seem at
times that the effort for education
today was being over done, that
there might be a pause, at least a
temporary rest in the strenuous cam
paign Which is now going on to
promote education.
But it must not be forgotten that
the education effort going on is not
for today, but has for its prospective
aim something actual and beneficial,
which can only come from the SEEM
ingly over urgent, and persistent
efforts now going on.
1t is impossible that every taxpayer
who is today being heavily taxed i'll
this State to promote the interests
OF education. will receive personal
benefits from this tax paying.
In fact very few OF the present gen
GRAFTON who are and must bear the
financial burden, and make sacrtices
i'll more ways than in paying taxes
for the educational fund, will see the
real benefits which are certain to
come through these extra taxes, and
personal sacrifices.
The educational effort of today,
has in its aim the preparation which
is necessary that thefuture shall reap
the true harvest.
On every side the educational
scheme purposes to raise the present
generation and future generations,
not merely to ascend the commercial
ladder, to become money getters,
but to raise society, to prove that
character and individual merit shall
stand above the mere ability to
accumulate wealth, regardless OF
methods employed.
And not least is the purpose to
prepare for citizenship, to make the
white race possessors OF their fran
chise, dictatOrS of their own common
wealth, the makers of its progress
and the builders OF it's greatness.
The Indifference of the past, makes
the educational effort now taking
place in this State OF seeming greater
consequence than it is, for the whole
world is in the race, and it is only by
gigantic efforts and personal sac
rifices today, that tomorrow shall
see the real benefits, and future gen
erations will be placed in IL secure
position to continue the educational
advancement in North Carolina.

Bringing The Matter Home.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
Last weeks dispatches told of an
address of Senator Hopkins, of Ill
linois, in which he said that in his
service in the lower house of Con-
gress he had remarked the ability
of Il score OF negro Representatives,
and added that it is "a shame and a
disgrace to the Southern States" that
"there are no longer men of color in
their congressional delegations"
that cit is shame to the nation
that the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water in these States are
not represented by men OF their own
Glass; This impertinent speech has
been variously commented upon, but
there has been no comment SO apt as
that of the New York Sun, Republi-
can, which is appended:
apparently Mr.. Hopkins believes
in class government in Congress
that represents the different classes
and colors. Negroes must be repre-
sented by negroes, hewers of wood
and drawers of water by hewers of
"oou ttll0 vi GtNclS VI W ttUtI.
ed men by red-haired men.
''1t is probable that the people of
the United States will be able to
stand indefinitely the absence of col
Ored members of the Congress. Such
is the moral apathy of this genera
ton to a shame and disgrace that
saddens the soul of the Aurora Sena-
tor. But why dosen't he seek to
remove the shame and disgrace from
his own State? In 1900 there were
So,O1S negroes in Illinois. They
are not represented in Congress by a
man of their own class. Doubtless
there are as able politicians among
them as can be found in the Southern
States. Why dosen't Illinois begin
the notable task ofrebukng the South
and doing justice to her own colored
hewers of wood and drawers of wa.
ter?'
Did you ever see the table so neat
fy turned on a gentleman?-and by a
paper of his own party, too.

The Beautiful! Sapphire Country.

Raleigh Post
Mr.. H. E. c. Bryant, the very in
structive travelling correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer, speaking of
Western North Carolina, says:
''1ou may say that the Sapphier
country is the prettiest in the world
| never saw any locality half SO pic
turesque and beautiful. They're build
ing another hotel up there, by the
way-the TOXoway Inn, which will
accommodate 500 people,"
Just to the westward of what we
understand to be the Sapphire
country in Pennsylvania county
we have not been to the section since
this improvement-in what is known
as the Cashiers Valley of Jackson
county, we believe to be the prettiest
section of that combination of pretty
sections-Western North Carolina
Ii the railroad ever crosses the Blue
Ridge from Pennsylvania toward the
southwest, it must run through this
Valley, and then we will see a series
of hotels in a stretch ofcountry twen-
ty-odd miles long that will afford
pleasure and we are sure comfort to
an extent that no other similar space
on this continent can equal, consider
ing climate, scenic beauty and all
other advantages strictly peculiar to
the mountain section OF our State.

CHRISTOPHER C. BLAND.
A North Car olina Private Whose Oar.
ing Deed at Fort Fisher Stamped
Him as Hero Equal to Sergeant
Jasper at Fort Moultrie.
PittsbOro Record.

Pttsboro Record.
A reunion is to be held at Fort
Fisher on the 10Th of August, of the
survivors of the Confederates who
were captured there on the 18th of
January, 1865,
This is eminently right and proper,
for the heroism Of the garrison OF
that famous fort should be perpetu-
ated to the remotest generation
Gallant survivors have just cause to
be proud of their heroic defense, and
no doubt will meet again on that
historic spot with mingled pride and
sadness.
The bombardment of Fort Fisher
was the heaviest since the invention
of gunpowder. Many acts of hero
ism in its defense have never received
the praise which they so much de-
serve. Indeed they are known to
very few persons. For instance,
scarcely any one has heard of the
heroism of Private Christopher c.
Bland, of Company X, Thirty-siXth
North Carolina Regiment. The flag
St'il "'to iPl Wv lucu Will Httit flltS
and when the order was given to
raise the battle flag young Bland
promptly volunteered to do so. He
seized the flag and began climbing
the staff under Il heavy fire from the
enemy's feet. Undismayed by the
shrieking of shells which fell around,
he climbed the staff and fastened the
flag at the top. Jast as he came
down shell tore loose one end of
the flag, and at once this young hero
again climbed the staff, while shells
fell around him almost as thick as
hail, and again fastened the flag in
its place, and strange to say, he es-
capped unwOunded. History has
taught every schoolboy the heroism
OF Sergeant Jasper at Fort Moultrie,
when its flag staff was shot down by
the British fleet, but not Il schoolboy
has probably ever heard of this more
daring feat of Christopher c. Bland.

Advice to Young Men.
Lumberton Robesonian.


Henry Ward Beecher on one occas-
ion when advising his son, said:
when working for others, sink
yourself out of sight; seek their in
terest. Make yourself necessary to
those who employ you by industry,
fidelity, and scrupulous integrity" !"
The young man who is intelligent,
honest and industrious. who makes
his employers business his own, who
is ever alert for an opportunity to
advance the interests of his employer,
soon makes himself Indispensable.
The watchful eyes OF the shrewd bust
ness man are ever on those in his
employ and he discovers quickly
those who are making themselves
valuable to him. Such are never
long out of a lucrative position; their
services are always in demand.

Prejudice Against Negroes in the
North.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
One of the greatest obstacles to a
fair solution of the race problem is
in the preiudices that exclude black
men in the North from learning and
exercising mechanical crafts. A col
ored tailor from Charleston. S. C., or
a colored house carpenterfrom ia
maica would find it no easy matter
to obtain employment at his trade
in the Northern States. But we can
not restrain our resentment over the
race preiudices that prevail in the
Southern States so far as to exclude
from the suffrage negroes who can
not read their ballots. Here we let
them vote, but We do not let them
earn living in the intelligent exer
else of a mechanical art.

About Giving Pardons.
North Carolina Christian Advocate.

North Carolina Christian Advocate
As Il rule, when the jury OF twelve
men are unanimous i'll declaring a
man guilty, and the Judge has passed
sentence upon him, it is best to leave
their decision undisturbed. 1t is
probable that the jury and the Judge
with all the facts before them, and
oftentimes able and astute attorneys
to represent the defendant. are in a
better position to mete out Justice
than the Governor, who oftentimes
has to rely upon an eN-parte state
ment. and is always at long range.
When excellent circumstances arise.
let the man be pardoned, but it is
wise to go slow in the matter.

The Local Paper.
Enfield Ledger.

Enfield Ledger.
The Commonwealth of last week
has an extract from President Mar
shalfs address before the Press Con-
vention at Whightsville on the man.
agement of local paper, with which
the Commonwealth agrees.
While it may seem presumptuous
in a mere tyro to differ with such old
newspaper men as the editors OF the
Gastonia Gazette and the Common
wealth, yet there is some exception
we would make to their conclusions,
We agree with them fully in think
ing that the editorial columns give
character to the entire paper, but we
do not think that these columns
should be devoted almost entirely to
the discussion of local affairs. Neces-
sarily these affairs can not be of a
very diversified nature, and con-
tinual hammering on few subjects
becomes a WEAKNESS to the flesh.
Then there are a great many sub
scribers to a local paper that take
no other paper. How are these sub
scribers to keep informed on State
and national matters except through
the columns of the paper they take?
Our idea then of editing a local
paper is to make local affairs prom
inent, but not most prominent, sub
ject for editorials Write on a variety
of subjects state and national, polit-
ical and religious, scientific and liter
airy, in fact every subject that can
interest readers. Criticise the presi-
dent, the governor, and every official
that is open to criticism, for by the
clash of minds the truth is brought
forth. Criticism is intended not only
for the subject of it but for the public
at large. Ii an official is incompetent
the public should know it SO that he
may not be elected again.
1t is by diversity that we may
hope to interest and improve our
readers.

PERRY HEATH. GOES CLEAR
Shielded from the Penalty of His
Wrong Doing by Statute of Limita.
tionS.
Charles 4. Edwards Washington Cores
pondence.


The statute OF limitations will hav-
ing run out, Mr.. Perry S. Heath,
Secretary OF the Republican National
Committee and former First Assist
ant Postmaster General, and the
Lord knows how many more, is now
free from danger OF indictment on
account of anything that may have
come or will come out of the present
investigation of Postoffice Depart
ment rottenness. 1t is the general
belief among the people here who are
Sin the know" that Perry Heath was
one of the first men spotted by Bris-
tow, and enough crookedness found
to bring him to the bar of Justice. 1t
is also believed that Hanna then
went to see the President and deal
was made whereby Heath's scalp was
saved and the party saved the hu-
initiation and degradation of seeing
it's secretary of its national commit
tee dragged before the bar of justice
for boodling On the last day of
July, however, the statute of limita-
tions allows Heath and all Others
who are not now in the clutches of
the law, and who quit the Depart
ment three years ago, to breathe free
ly and give the people the "hoarse
hoot." Thus do some people go un-
whipped of justice and the people will
never know who in order to chas-
tise them at the ballot box should
they evsr ask for office in the future.
The President has now demanded Of
Bristow that he get through with
the investigation by the first of Sep
lember. In other words, the thing
must be out Of the way before Con-
gress convenes, and any man who is
not caught by that time will go free.
Until there is a change of admins
tration the people never will know
how much was stolen by the postal
gang.

AS to the rest of the items object

sound policy for the Government to

instance, repairing and improving
roads already constructed, purchasing
road machinery, harness, wagons or
