North Carolina Sentiment.

The Durham Herald Is trying to cheer
the fallen. 1t says:
when Wick recognizes that his decapl-
5tation means the securing of the North
Carolina delegation by Mr.. Roosevelt he
should console himself in that he was
sacrificed for the good OF tho party"
The Winston-salem Sentinel rises to re-
mark:
president Roosevelt's administration
has been distinctly yellow. If the Dem
ocratlc party thinks that is what the
country wants, then Mr.. William r.
Hearst. editor of the New York Journal
and American, is just the man It should
roommate. lie can give us the real ar
Etlclc, with q few lurid side touches"
The Greensboro Telegram goes for the
Lawmakers thus:
"a member of the General Assembly
said In "a speech yesterday that he and
his fellow lawmakers were no better
than the people who sent them to Ra-
leigh. The trouble is. we fear. that too
many OF the legislators are not as good
as the people who sent them"
The Raleigh Post says:
"There are many evidences that the
demagogues who still play in the back
yard of the Democratic party are becom-
Ing more and more offensive to all honest
citizens"
Webster's- Weekly seems disposed to- In
sinuate something about rings and things.
1t says:
Senator Owerman has appointed Mr..
Fred L.. Carr, present member of the
Legislature from Green county, his prl-
waite secretary Senator Simmons set the
precedent two years ago by making Rep
resentative Watts, of Iredcll,, his score.
tary If Watts Is made chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
and Carr secretary. 1t Is believed that
Messrs. Simmons and OVerman can safe
~ trust the Legislature and Stale Com
mittee to behave themselves while our
Senators arc studying national affairs.
The editor OF the Warrenton4 Record
has evidently been travelling by buggy

TO Washington for the purpose of aiding
the passage OF shid bill. Not one dollar
of tho many thousands thus raised has
over been applied to the objects for which
1t was collected, Some OF these dishonest
people have pretended that tho money
was to be used In the employment ofpar-
ties aud In various other ways to press
the passage OF this law.
Not content with the fraud they have
already committed, they are now at
tempting. no adds. to raise ten cents per
capita from. the negro people, giving the
same false reasons. and adding to them
that 1t is necessary to have an attorney
TO induce the postof1lce Department to
cooperate In preventing fraud.
Judge Vaughan, who. by the way, Is a
Southern man, concludes by saying that
lie has tried for years to prevent these
frauds, and thinks that something ought
TO be done In the States to apprehend
the men who are thus preying upon the
negroes and bring them to justice.
This Is an old dodge, and has been Of
ten exposed, but the average negro Is
easy prey to any fakir who comes along,
5especiallySif the falslr pretends to be doing
something Tor the negro through the gov
eminent.
Z The negro has been taught to believe
that he is the ''wnrtr of tho nation" and
to look to the government for support,
as he formerly looked to his master. He
was first duped by the promise that the
government was going to give to each
and every black man "forty acres and a
MULE" and he has been in q state Of
expectancy ever since, He has been
fooled time and again, but he does not
learn by experience, and any fal1ir who
holds out to him the hope of an appro-
priation from Congress or some legisla-
ton or Federal Court decision in his favor
can be quite sure of getting part of
the negroes money to further the scheme.
We do not see what the State authorities
can do to protect him from the falsirs.
lie he insists upon being yictimized he
pust take the consequences.

no Incentive to the children Of educated

Yet, n mans knowledge and mans
education and a mans experience do not

left to incite other men to additional
study and the richest possession of the
world to-day Is the accumulated know

passed away That is why this genera
ton is so rich. and why this generation
is making gigantic progress. We are
standing, as 1t were, upon the shoulders
of all generations that have preceded US.
We can look back over their lives, and
we can look ahead. We can take the
experience of the world, much Of which
we have recorded in the books, and we
can use that to our advantage and for our
advancement. The application OF this
knowledge and this experience to the az
fairs Of life, is practical science, and we
are careless and Indifferent to our own
