Yes, II Does Matter What the Opin-
ions Are.

Norfolk Landmark.
Here is a portion OF the dense comment
of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph on
the Bassett incident:
1T is gratifying to note that the
Trustees of Trinity College. in North
Carolina, have declined TO accept the
resignation of Professor J. s. Bas-
sett, which resignation they find was
presented under coercion of outside
demands because of the Professors
expression of opinions distateful To
certain classes of North Carolina So
ciety. What these opinions were does
not matter, so far as the general
public is concerned. but it does mat
ter very decidedly that the Trustees
of North Carolina College can find
themselves able and willing TO make
stand for free thought and free
speech"
What these opinions were does not
matter" you say. What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. Doubt
less the Philadelphia Telegraph joined in
the general and proper demand for leg
islation TO keep out of this country men
who follow or profess the principles of
anarchy. Some of the men who preach
anarchy are much more learned than
Professor Bassett. Take Count Tolstoi.
for instance. or Prince Kropotkin. Be
yond certain point it matters great
deal what opinions man profess. whoth-
er he be cultured or boorish.
1t has not been so long since the Phila
delphia Telegraph earnestly discounten-
anced an effort to force colored cadets into
the Naval Academy at Annapolis. The
Telegraph said that the determination of
the cadets TO the contrary was eondi-
tion. and not theory. and that any at.
tempt to destroy that condition would re-
sui in generalization and ultimate fail.
ure. Wei. it is a condition and not a
theory that in the South the white peo-
pie will not patronize teachers who pro-
claim the offensive doctrines published by
DR.. Bassett, or schools which retain such
teachers. The feeling is just as strong
in the South with regard to this subject
as IL Is in the nation as a whole with re-
gard to anarchy.

Skipped BY The Light OF The

Rock Hill Herald.


Harold Edmond Lee, the my
sterious stranger who came to
Rock Hill about two weeks ago
and who on account of his peculiar
condition was placed in the Rock
Hill Private Hospital for treat-
ment, left that institution Sunday
night without saying goodbye or
notifying any of its officers. His
condition had apparently improv-
cd very much, having given full
account of himself. He was from
Lowell, Mich, where his mother
lives with Mrs. Frank Kins, q
daughter. The mayer communi-
Gated by wire with Mrs. King and
from her it was learned that Lee
had presumably been in the en-
ploy of the government, attached
to the Z. S. S. Barry at Norfolk.
A telegram to the commander of
that vessel brought the informa-
tion that the ship had lost a man
by the name of Lee. The day
following further commun'ca>
ton was received from the COM
mander of the Barry, giving a
minute description of the lost Lee
and it was complete Of the stran>
ger Lee in the hospital. In that
communlsation it was stated that
Lee had enlisted in the naval ser
vice at Detroit, Mich, IN March
last, that he had mysteriously
disappeared from the ship on the
Sth of October, and that reward
of twenty dollars would be paid
fer his return on board the Barry.
As that sum would not pay the
railroad fare of Lee to Norfolk
and An officer there and return,
the commander was notified, but
no further communication was re-
ceived. Meanwhile, Lee was in
formed of the facts, when he de-
MED ever having been in the SER
vice of the government in any
way. That was the middle of
last week. He waited few days
and then packing his grip skip
ped by the light of the stars, his
whereabouts being unknown now.
He was a puzzle to the physl-
clans who attended him. He
may have been a fraud, but if 80
he is the finest artist that ever hit
