THE WILDCAT CONTRACTIONISTS.
Fayetteville Observer.
1t has been our impression all along
that some of the most rabid OF the cur
rency contractionists were mere oppor-
tunists, seeking an immediate advantage
of one sort or another and being actuated
by no fixed principle. The course OF the
leading organ in this State of the money
contractionists of 1898, now said to be a
blatant advocate OF wildcat money! ampx
iustifies our view The excellent Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot has been poklng tun at
this organ of Clevelandism, and says:
"a few years ago the country shook
with mirth when the Popuhsts sug-
gested that the farmer shhould be al
lowed to deposit bale of cotton and
borrow money from the government
on it. The funanseers haw-haWed
until their sides ached. Now the
.feenanseers want to issue money
based on assets not as sound as a bale
Of cotton, and circulate that money
among their confiding fellow citizens.
Verify it depends upon the ownership
Of the asset whether the idea is fun
ny"
No doubt we shall soon witness these
mugwump organs crying out for govern
ment ownership of railways and other
utilities Meanwhile the loyal Democra-
cy the one conservative force in America,
pursues the even tenor of its way: it did
not in 1898 favor the dishonest contrac-
ton of the currency advocated by the
Clevelandites, nor does it now favor the
dishonest expansion of it advocated by
them.

Our good friend, the Editor of the News

factory which Booker Washington is to

cable theories. let it come.

ECHOES FROM UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT.
Editorial Correspondence

Chapel Hill, N. c., June 4.-Adverting
to the statement of the rich New Yorker
that he wished that he could get "fixed"
and be rich enough to come back to
North Carolina to live as he wanted to
live, recall a remark made last night
by Mr.. John Sprunt Hill, who not only
wished to come back from New York to
live in North Carolina, but has returned
and made his home in Durham. He said.
"At the recent North Carolina banquet
in New York l was talking with cute Il
company of North Carolinians in The
metropolis, all OF whom are succeeding
finely. They were congratulating me
that l was going back home. Without
exception they all expressed the wish
that they could do likewise. They said
they were waiting to get enough money
to go back to live comfortably. One man
said, 4 have saved up thirty seven thor
sand dollars. AS soon as l get fifty 1
am going to drop everything here and
go back to North Carolina Another had
accumulated twenty, but he wanted thir-
ty-five' Others had laid by various sums
but all of them felt that they had not
yet saved enough to warrant their re-
turning to the State with enough money
to live as they had planned" Whether any
of them come back to North Carolina or
not-and very few of them ever will come
the fact that in their hearts they retain
this affection for their state and have
the mind to return will always keep chem
in touch with the old mothei and will
make them love it more and more with
the passing of time. Mr. Hill is one Of
the few North Carolina boys who, hav-
ing succeeded in the METROPOLIS, have not
only wanted to come back but have act
ually returned. As a student here he
was one of the most popular men vho
graduated at the University FOR twenty
years. He has lost none Of his love for
his Alma Mater during his residence in
another State, but bears toward 1t an
affection that is as loyal and as warm
as any son feels for his own mother. The
Welcome he received here must have been
very gratifying to him. His speech de-
livered with much grace and power made
a fine impression and his generous dona-
ton, giving a practical demonstration tc
his devotion to the University, was re
Deived with high appreciation by the trus-
tees and the alumni. The practical sug-
yestions in his speech for she growth and
of the University will be con-
,idered by committee of the alumni il
az elaborate paper to be presented AT
The next annual meeting. This commit
lee will be appointed shortly and while
t is not hoped that it win rank with the
paper Of Archibald d. Murphy it is hoped
hat the paper will deal with the educa-
-ional system of the State today and its
,eeds as exhaustively as Murphy's paper
lid with the conditions in his day.

medal will be given for the best piece of

The two medals that are most highly
appreciated by the young men who ex-
pect to have public career are the
medals given for oratory. First the
Bingham medal, competed for by the IN
dergraduates in the debate between the
two societies, and the second, and CT
course the most highly priced, the Wylie
P. Mangum medal given to the graduate
who delivers the best grafton. The 9ng-
ham medal was won by Mr.. A. II. John
son, whose speech in favcr OF the cleo.
tion of United States Senator'S by the peo
pie was magnificent production for an
undergraduate. Indeed it would have
been a magnificent production for grad
uate or member of Congress- lie de-
lwered it with great ease and grace and
was warmly applauded. The Wylie p.
Mangum medal was won by Mr.. Charles
e. Maddrey, of Orange county, who is a
remarkable young man. He is a native
of Orange county and has educated him
self by his own exertions and at the
same time has earned enough to gay Tor
the education of his sister. He is county
superintendent of public schools of Or
ange county, pastor of the Hillsboro Bap-
fist church, and has been teacher. He
has striking face and magnificent eyes.
You would take him for a poet, or an
orator, or an actor, and he IS perhaps all
three Certainly his speech here today
on s'The Duty of the South to the Coun-
try Boy showed that he was an orator
or no mean powers. Mr.. Maddrey is
Baptist preacher and under his admins
tration as county superintendent Orange
county has made steady progress in de-
yeloping its educational system. He is
made of the right stuff and will be heard
from again in North Carolina.
