is Al. STAUNTON A MYTH?

Is A. ]. Staunton myth? or is he a
real person of flesh and blood?
According to his testimony, c. C. Jones,
of Goldsboro lent A. ]. Staunton $500,
taking as security two North Carolina
State bonds of the value of 81 ,000 Wasn't
that rather steep security for such a
loan? Ought it not to have made the
lender suspicious? 1t seems that after
this manor was he a myth or a man
with an alias got his $500 loan on the
$4,000 bonds, he disappeared as if the
earth had swallowed him up 1t seems
that he borrowed the money for sixty
days, but never returned to pay the $50
interest promised, or to get his bonds
Now who is Staunton? Is there any
body named Staunton who stole these
bonds from Godfrey? If Stanton did not
steal the bonds, who did? The testimony
of Jones begins the trail to discover the
man who stole. the bonds from Mr.. God
frey. But suddenly the trail stops with a
man who gave his name as A. J. Staun-
ton. Is there to be no further probing
into this most disgraceful scandal?
1t is possible, if the whole machinery
is properly worked, to uncover this fraud
ard this attempt to cover UP a daring
robbery. Let Jones be further examined,
let his witnesses be examined fully, let
the whole affair DE gone into, and let no
stone remain unturned to find and pun
ish the shrewd thief. The honor of the
State demands that a premium shall not
be placed upon robbery, as will be done

News and Observer for a tenant and a
young man to work for wages, illustrates
a condition that is new in this section.
1t shows that farmers are feeling the
scarcity of good farm labor. Railroad
work, mining and the enticement of city
life have drawn many strong men from
the farms, and the farmer is now adver-
Using for labor The time was when the
farmer could pick between applicants to
work his land. Now some farmers find
it necessary to advertise for men to work
on the farm. The wise farmer is he who
elves at home and boards at the same
place." and does not depend upon raising
crops to sell with which to buy supplies
1t never did pay farmer to do this, but
when labor was plentiful and cheap the
temptation was strong to make big cot
ton and tobacco crops, and to neglect the
making of bread and meat at home. With
present labor conditions, the first part of
wisdom is to live at home and then to
raise money crops with such labor as can
be obtained.

SHIBB0LETHS FROM GAMBLING
GAMES.

Mark Hanna knows no politics or
craftsmanship except those of trust mani
pulators and gamblers. In a speech two
years ago in Ohio, he opened the cam.
paign with this adominition STAND pat"
In a speech in Washington city, encoura-
ging his Republican followers, he used this
gambling lingo: 1--WE hold the ace."
There was time when public men, even
if they engaged in shuffling cards in
private and playing for stakes paid a
proper respect for public virtue They
did not parade gambling vernAcular as
campaign shibboleths. They appealed to
the public upon higher grounds and in
virtue and to patriotism as tend to ele
vste the popular mind. The wise man
never seeks to bring low ideals before
the people. He invites them to right action
by holding up high ideals. If the lead
er drops down to the lingo of the gamb
ling saloon, how can he be worthy to
represent people of high aspirations:
Hanna's use of "stand pat" and 1--WE
hold the ace'' shows that he regards
government as game of chance. He
"broke into the Senate by betting mil
lions that he could defeat the better ele-
nent in politics. He bought McKinley's
nomination with dirty dollars, he bought
the presidency with a corruption fund
furnished by men who expected to get it
back ten fold from Taxpayers, and he
is now batting men who wish to joir.

BEST YET WRITTEN.
Oxford Public Ledger.

On the inside of this paper we repro
duce strong and forceful article from
the pen of Rev. M. II. futile, published
in the News and Observer, which de-
serves a careful reading as it probes close
to the bottom. 1t is free from prejudice
and yet shows up the fallacies of the
Bassett- Kilgo sympathizers. 1t shows
that although that crowd seem to control
and do control Trinity College now, that
there are many preachers and laymen
who have not yet bowed the knee to
social equality. It shows that the 81
lence of the Goldsboro Conference did by
no means show it's consent or endorse
ment of the methods at Trinity. Give the
article a careful reading; it will repay
you as it is by odds the strongest pre-
sentation of the peoples side of the case
yet written.

A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.

The news of the burning of the dormi-
tory building of the State Normal and In
dustrial College at Greensboro at an early
hour yesterday morning will be read
North Carolina. This is one of the fore
most Southern educational institutions
and is the greatest for the education of
women. 1t is peculiarly held in the af-
lection and regard of the peopla of North
Carolina, as is evidenced by the attend
ance-a'ways limited only by accommoda-
tions.
The behavior of the young women in the
ordeal is worthy of all praise. There was
no panic and the young women deported
themselves in manner that would have
been worthy of trained military organ
a horrible death, but not one persisted
and not a single one was injured. For
this, thanks will go up in thousands of
homes in North Carolina.
There will be no break in the work of
the college. 1t will go right on. The
young women will not suffer. The people
in Greensboro, with community spirit
that is responsible for its progress, were
prompt in opening their homes and in do
ing everything possible. The hotels
quickly prepared breakfast and he au-
thorities of the college were quick to
make every necessary preparation for
comfort.
Of course the burned building will be
replaced and without delay. The State
Council has authority in such emergen-
cies to pledge the credit of the State. 1t
will, after the amount of the insura ace is
ascertained, after conference with the di-
rectors and president of the institution,
make provision for work to begin to the
end that the building may be completed
before the fall session opens.

warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The

AN APPEAL TO GENEROSITY.

Over hundred young women attending
the State Normal and Industrial College
lost all their wardrobes ard their trunks
in the fire yesterday morning, while many
others of the three hundred in the burned
dormitory suffered heavy losses. 1t means
much to them, for they lost not only their
wearing apparel, but many priced me-
mentoes and heir-looms that memory
makes valuable.
Each of the Greensboro banks yester-
day gave $500 to help replenish the ward
robes of these young women. 1t was a
happy idea and a generous thought A
comparatively small sum placed at the
disposal of the college authorities at once
would make provision for refurnishing
much of the wearing apparel burned. A
prominent Raleigh gentleman said last
night thnt he hoped many citizens all
ate would initiate the example
snsboro bankers and that he
send a contribution to Pres
ident McIver today.
1t is matter, of course, for which
no appeal could be made, but we ven
ture to express the hope that many will
feel disposed to show their sympathy for
the lost sustained by the young women
by sending such amounts as they see fit
direct to President McIver, at Green's
bore. Neither DR.. McIver nor any young
lady would suggest this publication, but
we venture to make it, confident that it
will be approved by very many generous
men and women in the State.
