Oxford SeminaryReopens'
The Governor and DR..
MCIver Present.

Especial to News and Observer
Oxford. N. c., Sept. THE open
ing services today at the dedication
of Oxford Seminary were attended by
a large and cultured audience. The
handsome auditorium was packed al
most to its utmost.
First entered the students, followed
by President Hobgood with Governor
Aycock and President McIver, Of
Greensboro. Then came the board of
directors who with other prominent
citizens of oxford and the ministers
OF the churches were seated on tho
left side of the rostrum. On the right
side were the members of the faculty.
The exercises We're opened with the
singing of the doXology. The prayer
of dedication was offered by Rev. j.
A. StradIey. Then followed President
Hobgood's address of welcome and re-
view of the rebuilding of the school
President HObgOOd said in part:
"On this, one of the most important
events in the history of Oxford, j
give warm greetings to one and all. To
our chief magistrate who has honOred
us with his presence; to these distin-
guished teachers, president of the State
Normal College, to our board of direc'
tors, to the stockholders, to our teach
era whos7 faithful, loving sesViceI
through so many years have helped to
make the school what 1T is; to our
pupils of former years, whose hearts
bled at the apparent destruction or
their alma mater whose love never
grows dim, and who have returned to
their mother to see her adorned and
decorated; to our pupils whose misfor-
tune it was to witness the destruction
of the old buildings on that fateful
January IS; to our new pupils whose
good fortune it is to enter the semi
nary at this suspicious time; to the
citizens of Oxford, whose sympathy
and substantial support have made
possible these splendid buildings es-
pecially to the young men whose lib
eral gifts have handsomely furnished
the two literary society halls; to all
hearty welcome"
President HobgoOd then introduced
President McIver who spoke on the
cost of education and congratulated
the young women on being able TO re-
ceive the advantages of this excellent
school.
When Governor Aycock arose he was
loudly applauded, but spoke only q
few minutes, saying that he felt that
the re-opening of the oxford Seminary
was such an event in the history OF
the State that it was his duty as Gov
ernor to lay aside the most important
work to be present He congratulated
President Hobgood on his great sue
cess in the re-opening of the school.
He remarked that President McIver
TODAY made the greatest short speech
on education to which he had ever list
ened
The exercises closed with a benedic-
ton pronounced by Rev. F. M. Sham
burger This was by far the largest

Albemarle, n. c., Sept. THE
gloom of death was lowering over the
town on yesterday at four o'clock when
the many friends of Prof. j. T. Bivins
of Trinity Park High School, had as
sembled here where he lay a corpse
in the Methodist church, and We're
paying him their last respects. Prof.
Bivins was brought here on the noon
train from Durham. We know of NO
man of his age in whom so many peo-
pie manifested an interest and eX-
pressed sorrow when his death was
reported i'm the town. We feel that
the State has lost a young man whose
place in the arena of life will be hard
to fill
Prof Bivins' body YVES accompanied
to this place by Mrs. Bivins, together
with a number of friends anu was
buried here with Masonic hOnors.
AT exactly four o'clock this after
noon Miss Ada kluttz, of this place,
and Mr.. Ed. Smith, of Fordoche, La,
were united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony in exactly the same spot on
which the body of Prof. BiVins had
rested just twenty-four hours prior.
Miss Kluttz is one of Albemarle's
most popular young ladies, and Mr..
Smith is a merchant of Fordoche, La
Mr. and Mrs. Smith will leave for
that place, in a few days, which will

THE YOUNG MANS VOTE.

Every four years there enters into
the calculations of the Presidential
campaign new and unknown element,
an element of success or defeat so
large that it must be considered.
This is the new voter. Not the
foreigner who has taken out his pa
pers" but the young American who
has come of age. Four years ago he
was seventeen years of age, at school
perhaps, or just entering college. To
day he has in his hand the manhood
won right of the ballot. How will he
vote is the question.
To the young man who this year
faces for the first time National at
fairs as an elector there are two main
questions TO be considered, and as has
been the trend of his life these will be
answered. On the one hand the DEM
ocratic party presents to him as its
Presidential candidate a law-abiding
and learned jurist, a student and a be-
lever in the Constitution. On the 9TH
er hand is a man. fiery and unre-
strained by Constitutional limitations.
who believes his own ideas superior
to those ever put in legal form, Il man
fretting at the restraints of law and
overriding these at will.
II is the old problem, ever recurring,
summed up in the two words-RighT
or Might-and the answer is formed
as each nature aligns itself The DEM
ocratic nominee is for what is right.
for what is constitutionally right. The
Republican nominee examplifies might,
1t is the Big Stick idea which pre-
dominates with him. Just so he Is
big enough, or this nation is strong
enough is all it matters TO him. The
right is another question.
Here are the thoughts for the new
voter; let him digest them. The cleo
ton of Judge Parker by the aid of
his ballot means that the sirit and ira
ditions of this Republic will be main
tanned. That of Roosevelt puts us upon
a sea of doubt with only his
tempestuous views and erratic ideas
as a chart.
Which ideal will the young man
choose? His vote alone will tell but If
he believes in the true principles Of
this country that vote will be cast
for Judge Parker. the exponent of the
best in the life of the Republic.

A special from Morehead City to
The Citizen brought the news that
our enterprising tOWnsman, Howard
S. Rowland, has succeeded in obtain
ing the lease of the Atlantic & North
Carolina Railroad for term of ninety
years.
The Citizen has no doubt that the
announcement will arouse great inter-
est in this city, as we'll as deep admira-
ton for Mr. Howland's enterprise and
grit. In view of the many viscissitudes
through which the Atlantic e. North
Carolina road has passed, it required
a man of nerve to take what in the
past has been considered a white
elephant" While it cannot be said
that the road as it now stands can
be of any material advantage to this
city, it is gratifying to know that an
Asheville man outbid all competitors
and furnished a solution to very veX-
ing problem. We have doubtless seen
the last of the attempts of grafters
and bOodlers to lay des gning hands
on State property by means of ques-
tionable proceedings The Citizen
congratulates Mr.. Rowland, and we
feel sure that he will handle his new
enterprise with the same success as
others we have in mind.
