The Highmore Herrld editor,
j. G, Stoner. is sued for $1,000
for publishing something about
a fellow mp there. Our advice to
the damaged party is not to
push the matter, as it may be
proven on him. Better give
Uncle John a $1,000 for not
publishing half he knew. These
"chesty" people who want to
raise the devil with a newspar err
should always pick out a soft

JOYOUS FUNERAL.

A Joyous funeral" sounds like mis-
homer, but Capt. w F. Norton, of Louis
vile, KY, does not seem to be of that
opinion He died last week, leaving ST.
600 to friends and $780, 900 to the Baptist
Orphans Home of Louisville. The bequest
will give many an orphan boy and educa-
ton and care. that will make him use
fCl man. In his will the eccentric man
opens with quotations on life and death
from Shakespeare, Byron and Pryor, and
makes this provision for his funeral:
Provide that no services of a religious
character be held at his funeral; that a
special train of Pullmans be chartered
TO take his remains from Louisville. where
ne has for so long been buried alive, to
Cincinnati; that the buffets of the cars
be well stocked with good things to eat
and drink, in order that his friends dc
not thirst or hunger; that while the re
mains are being cremated at Cincinnati
an orchestra render a programme OF
popular and select music. The programme
is attached to the will and it is stipulated
that when an intermission is reached
the friends ask the orchestra to join them
in drinking my bon voyage.

Washington, May 25.-The weekly crop
bulletin of the Weather Bureau says:
There has been a general Improvement
in the outlook for cotton, particularly in
the middle and western districts, but the
crop is generally late Portions of Mis-
sissippi and northern Texas continue to
suffer from rain and boil weevils are re-
ported from several counties in southern
Texas, where cut worms are also caus-
ing damage, as we'll as in some central
counties Considerable replanting is nee
essary in the Carolinas, Georgia and
Texas
More favorable progress has been made
with transplanting tobacco in the Ohio
valley, but in the middle Atlantic States,
little or none has been set up to the
close of the week, when much needed rains
fell in Maryland and Virginia, placing the
soil in favorable condition for this work
Plants in Virginia and eastern Kentucky

The Jones murder ATTRACTED great deal
of interest all over the State. We were
shown a letter today from citizen of

the prosecution if needed. We hear that
Goldsboro and Rocky Mount are willing

BROTHER DICKEY GIVES BOOKER
GOOD ADVICE.

The young woman in Indianapolis who
woke up to find herself noted character
because she refused to make up bed IN
the hotel for Booker Washington, is hav-
ing an interesting time. One day she re-
ceives purse containing money from ad-
mirers in Texas and the next day she is
roasted by Northern paper as an enemy
to her country. This young woman
Miss Hadley by name-did not seek noto-
riety. She in fact sought the seclusion
OF her home, giving up her occupation
and wages, rather than make up the bed
of a negro. DIR. Hills says she was guilty
of small prejudice and he would deem it
an honor to make up BOXERS bed. Let
him do ~, then. Nobody will object He
will be at better business than waving
the dragged old bloody shirt while criti-
cizing the wise views of Mr.. Cleveland,
DR.. Lyman Abbott and DR.. Parkhurst on
the negro question.
But it seems that Miss Hadley is denied
the privacy which she seeks in her home,
for few nights ago she and the family
with whom she resides, were ali chloro-
formed by negro robbers who robbed Miss
Hadley Of all the money she had. forty
three dollars There were some checks,
but it is hoped the robbers cannot get
them cashed.
The wiset utterance upon the bed incl
dent comes from Brother Dickey, the
colored philosopher invented by Frank L.
Stanton to talk in prose We quote:
Booker Washin'ton is befo' de country
az in said Brother Dickey, zen dis time
kaze de white folks wouldn't make up his
bed My. my I never see de like er dat
sence de day freedom broke out. How
come he spec de white folks ter roll UP

whar de white folks is willin' ter wait

In springtime. Wen he make up his min
dat it's time ter make a speech som'ers

Death of Mrs. b. D. Tell.

Especial to News and Observer)
Tarboro, N c., May 26.-Mrs H. d.
Teel, wife of H. d. Teel a prominent in
surance man of this place, died here at
her home Monday night at 800 o'clock in
the thirty-fourth year of her age. She
was the daughter of William and Mary
w. Pippen, both deceased Mrs. Teel
leaves two little boys. The funeral will
take place Wednesday at 1890 o'clock
at Calvary Church. The great love and
esteem in which she was held by her
friends and neighbors was duly attested
today by the many kindnesses
done to her family. Mrs. Teel was lady
of lovely character. and during her entire
sickness no words of complaint ever pass
ed her lips. The sympathy Of the entire
community goes out to her husband and
children.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-05-27

a pulpit supposed to be consecrated to the
doctrines OF peace on earth and good will
toward men. There have been preachers
who could with grace and power and
useful results make occasional invasions
of profane territory, notably his distin-
guished predecessor, but Mr.. Hills is not
one of these. The truth is that the aver
age schoolboy can speak with greater in
telligence and veracity than he of many
questions which he undertakes to settle
of1hand in his church.
DR.. Hills, for example, has lately in
terested himself in the controversy over
the negro problem" and has converted
the Temple of God into a cheap and
noisy forum for the purpose OF exploiting
his purely political theories. Last Sun
day night he gave to the Plymouth con-
gregation, instead of a sermon on Chris
tianity, an absurd, and in one important
respect and ignorant, harangue which
would have been in better keeping with
the platform or the stump. He denounced
Mr.. Cleveland and the Rev. Lyman Alb
bott, because of their Views on negro
suffrage, denounced the public schools be-
cause they do not initiate him in going
outside of their legitimate functions; de-
clared that the Jews have forbidden
Christian teaching; mathematical Con-
gress for its wickedness, anu announced
the approaching generalization of society.
Then he permitted himself this silly and
untruthful declaration:
THE South believes that labor is a
degradation; therefore today in the Gulf
coast cities the aristocratic young white
man is behind the counter, selling RIB
bons, silks, calicoes, doing the work of
clerk, but of all forms of labor this is
the poorest paid. He has become the
competitor of the shop girls In the North
and sinks to the wage of the shop girl,
but, believing that the labor is degra-
dation, he makes the negro do the manual
work of production, instead OF exchange,
It seems to us that DR.. Hills takes
strange liberties with his commission as
a disciple of the Saviour. 1t is bad
enough for a clergyman to turn his tenn
pie into campaign booth and use his
divine authority in the exploitation of
pontical rivalries. 1t is even worse, how
ever. to teach miscievous falsehoods,
from the pulpit and to instill into the
minds of those who respect the holy call
ing lessons Of antipathy and prejudice.
One need not go South to satisfy himself
Of the absurdity OF DR.. Hills proposition.
The figures of the census give 1t the he
with an eloquence which cannot be de-
MED. This reverend gentleman no doubt
means we'll We give him credit for alb
solute sincerity. But he IS talking non
sense and doing harm, and somebody
should lead HIM out of the unseemly fields
into which he has blindly strayed

AMoRNING TONIC.
(Dr. Francis g. Peabody, OF Harvard
University, at Educational Con-
ferenca1

That education is the key Of Southern
as of Northern security; that education
does not mean political service or racial
antagonism; that education begins at the
bottom and not at the top: that the South
and the North have a common stake in
the education of the whole people. that
illiteracy is inconsistent with demo-
cracy; that the part of the North is not
TO patronize or criticise, but reinforce the
initiative of the South, and that the
strength and sacrifice of the Southern
States for education present the most
honorable and gallant achievement OF
modern American ~statesmanship-al this
is conclusively determined, and this Is
the common faith in which We meet.
