PROF. MINIS AGREES WITH MIR
CLEVELAND.
Norfolk Landmark.

Norfolk Landmark.
Some days ago The Landmark severely
criticised an address made at the recent
Educational Conference In Richmond by
Prof Edwin Minis, of Trinity College,
Durham, N. G. In the course OF that
speech Prof. Minis seemed TO US to ex-
press dissatisfaction with the speeches
which Editor McKelway and DIR. Lyman
Abbott had just delivered before the Con-
ference, as well as with the speech made
few days before by ex-President Cleve-
land in New York All these utterances
were to the effect that the South
should be recognized as the best friend OF
the colored man and permitted to work
out the race problem according to its own
superior knowledge of the conditions.
Seeing the speech of Prof. Minis pub
lished by the New York Evening Post and
simultaneously with that papers as
sertion that several Southern members OF
the Conference had criticised the liberal
sentiments expressed by Drs. McKelway
and Abbott, we naturally concluded that
the Post was reproducing the remarks OF
Prof Minis in justification OF its own.
We supposed that the Post had full war
rant for interpreting those remarks as 1T
did, and we instinctively sized up" the
professor as one of those likely to follow
the path blazed by Prof. Trent, who set
tied in fat berth at a Northern Univer-
sity after running down the South at a
Southern institution of learning.
The Landmark now learns that Prof.
Minis agrees with every word in the
speeches of Mr. Cleveland and Drs. Nc
EKelway and Abbott, but does not wish
to see these speeches interpreted as ex-
cusing any unjust propositions which
have been made with regard to the treat
ment of the negro in the South; such, for
instance, as the proposition to cut off
State assistance to negro education. The
Landmark does not believe in such pro-
positions any more than does Prof. Minis.
We learn, too, that Prof Minis has sew
eral times refused positions in Northern
colleges and expects to spend his life in
the South.
Though the rest of our criticism of Prof.
Minis address must stand, we are re-
lieeed to learn what has been set forth in
the preceding paragraph. 1t gives us quite
different idea of Mr. Minis. 1t enables
us to respect him.

No less than twenty-one new graded

1t is not bad prophesy to predict that i'll

school in nearly every township in the
state and a county high school at every
county seat. Then North Carolina will
not rank highest in the percentage of

Yesterday morning early as an extra

Knoxville to Asheville the crew OF the
train came near to a horrible accident.
The engine was thrown from the track
by spreading rails. Four cars were also
deraied. There is a high embanlkment
Just this side of Jefferson City, where the
wreck occurred, and had not the engine
and cars been thrown just in the direction
that they were, death would probably
have come to all abroad. One OF the cars
was smashed to splinters and the engine
somewhat torn up No lives were lost and
the engineer is the only one who received
any bruises. He had his hand smashed

He is quoted by the Columbia State as
saying:
"The Clark is the result of long fight
with railroads in which Columbia has been
getting the worst OF it for years. said
Mr.. Whaley. 1.-THE railroads have been
making rates in which this city was treat
ed unjustly, unfairly and forced to sub
NIT to exorbitance for years. Why
freight has been carried through Columbia
for 35 cents less than we had to pay
when it stopped here. Some time ago
entered into an agreement with some OF
the mills in the upper part of the State by
which we got a rate of SO cents, but ]
found that l would have to drop out OF
this, for although the other mills were
getting advantages, we were not getting
what was due us. Then the roads began
to squeeze US upward, first to Al cents and
then to 43 cents. Never mind the Col
umbia mills, they viii get along all right,
was the motto of the roads, and we saw
that something had to be done"

TIlEpER FoR THE FuTunE.

The question of timber supply is be- coming serious one in England, aud the engineers of that country are wondering how the demand Is to be met in the fu- ture. A recent discussion of the subject before the Institution of Civil Engineers brought out some facts which are not encouraging to railroad interests in that country. for it is the great clnsamption pf timber for cross-ties that IS filling rail- road men with apprehension. All efforts to and q substitute for wood in cross- ties have been unavailing, though many experiments have been ;ried.
 In our own country. with our yet im- nense forests, the danger cf timber famine is not yet imminent, but tne time is not very far distant when the natural supply will be exhausted, not only for purposes and thoughtful men are lacking out for means of supplying the demand and of providing for the future. The aues- lion is. How can we prevent the timber famine which is before us?
 In thIs connection we nave teet. very nllcn interested ID q patdDIlcl recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture entitled The Hardy Ca taIpa," referring to a species e the common catalpa tree which grows to some extent in all sections of the coun- try. The specially hardy species. to which the book is devoted. is now being largely cultivated in Iowa. Ns.tsas and some other. Northwestern States, with the most satisfactory 'esuits. The main points established by the tests thus far made are that this woodr is almost un- equalIed in it's power of resisting decay, and that 1t can be easily and eeenoml- caIIy grown. For fence and telegraph posts it is claimed to be superior 10 most of the hard woods. Trus, # requires some twenty years to grow trees large enougn for railroad ties. but :he experi- lnents made show that planta.,n be- gins to yield revenue In a few years. as the smaller trees are thinned out and used for posts and other purposes.
 Taken altogether the report Is a very interesting one and opens up the pessl- bGIity of supplying the demand fer tim Der by growing t just as other crops are grown. and 1t may be that this will be an important factor in the industries of the country En the sutnFe
