TRUE 70 HIS PRINCIPLES
Excellent Example Of Pessrisn, In
North Carolina.

North Carolina.
Dr. Charles D. McTver, president
of the North Carolina State Normal
and Industrial College. told story OF
rural pessimism at dinner given by
Robert c. ogden in aonor OF the Gen,
eral and Southern Education Boards.
There was once a North Carolina
countryman, he said. who had al
idea that gayetv was synonymous
with evil, an idea that-he inculcated
into his family life. 1t came to pass
that TIE man committed murde: and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now.
IN taat part Of the world the only
charces for amusement were in going
to hangirgs or travelling circuses
When the day On which he was to be
executed approached, tie condemned
nan wrote a note to his wife, saying:
Don't let the children come to the
hanging know you'll be there, but
do please keep the little ones away.
ITO this the wife replied:
It It's just like you to ask what you
do. You never dc want the children

and the result IS
that instead of maintaining the goo1
oninion of any element as mayor OF
the city he is losing the respect OF
friends and increasing the ridieule OF
his enemies. 1t is evident that he IS
lacking in that firmness which man
oueht to have to exercise the duties
of the office of mayor. or he is making
a miserable effort to play for popular
ity with all classes, and the Wabbiy
course he has pursued in the matter
of a chief of police indicates that ne

the responsibility of naming cnlei
Of noliee because he did not want to
antagonize the city council and pub
lie sentiment by naming Peterson and
on the other hand did not want to
combat Peterson friends by nam
ing Culpepper.
He lodged the issue by selecting
committee to name chief. and it was
common gossip that he had allowed
the friends of Peterson to select ma
jority of the committee. Though there
NAV be no foundation for the charge
still there are many who believe it to
he true. 1t has also been alleged that
the mayor knew that the council was
unanimous in its opposition to Peter
son, and that while he lodged the re-
sponsibility of naming Peterson,
Throwing off on his citizens commit
tee. he also lodged the naming of Gull
uepper Throwing Off in that instance
On the council. If the mayor is not
t,,us guilty of trying to court the ia
yor of the Peterson and anti-Peterson
elements. his acts have been such as
to create the belief so strongly in the
public mind that he is censured by
all classes.
The Graphic has been disgusted with
the mayors evident grand stand tao

no opinion of his own. and as pub

ic has refrained from any criticism
of Mayor Whites acts. though his acts
have subjected him to criticism by
the public gene. ally But instead of
seeing the folly of his course he seems
to plunge deeper into it every day.
The Graphic is not going into any
defense OF Chief Culpepper for striking
a prisoner who had applied vile cpl

the Graphic would have no respect for
the man who would not smash the

Graphic has no criticism of the mayor
for diseharging an officer who lays
violent hands on prisoner as it Is
alleged that Chief Cupepper did, and
for which he was fined.
Where Mayor White has subjected
bomself to Just criticism is in the ap-
Dointment Ct Peterson to succeed Cu!-
pepper when Peterson is guilty Of the
same thing for which CuIpepper was
discharged. Culpepper was let out OF
mis- lob for striking a man who had
grossly insulted him, and man
named to take his place who, when as
sistant chief OF police, went with
citizen 10 make an assault on another
citizen. The assault was committed
and for which the citizen and Assist
anf Chief Peterson were indicted by
the eferson county g.and jury and
both fined for the assault. Instead OF
being party to the assault 1t was
the duty of Assistant Chief Peterson
as peace officer to have prevented
II ever if necessary to arrest the cit
izen contemplating the assault.
Nobody Is deceived as to the efforts
to make Mr.. Peterson chief of police
under Mayor Bell, and especially after
Chief Craig so uncermoniously took
mis- departure, but Mayor Bell had
backbone enough not to submit to the
demands 1ade upon him. and turned
down good and strong the seif.consti-
tuted political bosses who wanted
man appointed chief who was not only
Objectionable to the mayor, but 70
a ,ecided majority of the best peep-e
Of the city
Mayor White said to Graphic rep
resentatiye that Mr Culpepper had
made one of the best chiefs the city
had ever had. if not the best. He said
1hat Peterson had reputation for set
ting on Jag" and playing cards Cal-
pepper. "one OF the best chiefs the
city ever had" is bounced for assault
ing a prisoner, and in his place a man
is put in who as assistant chief has the
same charge against him, and who,
according to the mayor has a reputa-
ton for getting on @jags' and playing
cards. Ye gods.
Mayor White knows that the ap-
Bointment of Peterson is an unpopu-
ar appointment, and were he govern
ed by his better judgment he would
not have made the appointment, but
he has been influenced from t source
which has made him no new friends
and has cost him the respect Of many
who were sincerely lending him their
support in the administration OF the
city's affairs. In the appointment Of
Peterson the mayor has endeavored to
W.. To his support an influence that
he can never get. and his friends are
surprised that he should thus attempt
20 win the friendship of men who
nave no respect for him, and who to-
day have for him contempt only.
Is it possible that after the remov-
al of Culpepper. "one of the best,
# not the best chiefs the city ever
aad." that Peterson was the only quail
fled man in the city for Culpeppers
successor?
Mayor White is making entirely too
many g.and stand plays, and ii is

California, the most plentiful deposit

town Of Pala and within a mile Of the
famous rubellite mine near that place
For the last month or two at the Mu-
scum of Natural History in New York
a thorough analysis Of tire mineral has
been going on under the direction Of
DR. Charles Baskerville of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, who won a
reputation among scientists last spring
by his address bffore the American
Chemical society on certain rare earths
used for the many forms Of incandes-
cent lights. BY the action of Roentgen
rays he excited q crystal Of the new
mineral sufficiently to make it photo
graph itself when placed upon a sensi-
tive plate and kept in the dark for ten
minutes

Kunz, president Of til New York
Neurological club and a gem expert. In
forthcoming issue Of Science he viii
give a description Of the finding and
of some of the properties of the gem.
That the new stone IS unlike any other
known, however, was determined by
Or. Baskerville in his analysis at the
museum. In a scientific article which
he has prepared for publication he
gives it tie name Of Kunzite, in honor
of its discoverer, DR.. Kunz Almost
simultaneously with the choice Of this
name Professor Edward 5. Damn of
Yale university, who had been inform-
ed of the progress of the analysis,
wrote suggesting the same name.
Near Pala, Cal, crystals Of the new
gem as large as n mans hand We're
found. The tint is described by Dr.
Kunz as a sort Of rosy lilac varying
from very pale tinge when looked at
transversely to a rich amethystine hue
when observed lengthwisc. When cut
and mounted in q certain way one Of
these crystals yields gem Of unusual
beauty. The discovery is of more than
ordinary interest because nothing sim
liar to the new gem has ever been seen
by gem experts or jewellers before.
