yet, notwithstanding the town was COW
cred IN slcet and it still raining, The
flames crossed the street and rapidly con
sumed seven other buildings The flames
could not be checked until they reached
Fremont street, and it was only by heroic
efforts with assistance of sleet and wind
that the few buildings remaining were
saved.

Among the Railroads.

Until a few days ago. a passenger de-
string to 80 from Raleigh TO Wilson could
buy ticket for $1.70, and go either by
Goldsboro or Selma. If the train was on
time he would reach Wilson two hours
sooner by going around by Goldsboro.
Now a rule has been issued increasing the
price of a ticket via GCldsboro TO $2.35--
adding $3.50 to the price OF round
trip to or from Wilson. The breaking

MT. Washington Once More.

Booker T. Washington has gently
correctly Captain Richmond Pearson
HObson's none too gentle assertion
before the Democratic National Con-
vention that the honored president Of
Tuskegee had abandoned his consist
emily sane attitude toward the negro
and spoken in favor Of social equality
between the whites and blacks.
Mr. Washington did not call Cap
tain Hobson a liar, though Captain
HObsOn did term Mr. Washington a
man with a swelled head On the
contrary, Mr. Washington mildly sug-
gested that Captain Hobson had been
misinformed, and that the report Of
Mr. WashingtOn's address which the
hero Of Santiago read was doubtless
inaccurate. In fact, Mr.. Washington
showed himself most generous. It is
difficult to see how Captain HobsOn
can honorably escape with anything
short Of a humble apology.
However much individuals from
different sections of the country may
differ regarding the negro problem,
the safe and sane" Of all sections
agree regarding the remarkable work
that Booker T. Washington is doing
for his people, and the remarkable ex-
ample of wisdom, forbearance, and
sound good sense that he is constant
ly. setting his people
Booker 4. Washington has thor
oughly learned the valuable lesson OF
| selhessness. He has learned that II
he does not put his personality in the
way of being hit, his personality will
not be hit. He has learned that th5
really important thing, as far as he is
/ concerned, is the cause. and that
while he will grow with the cause
neither he nor the cause can grow al
the expense Of the cause. Some whit
| folks might ascertain much to theil
advantage from Booker T. Washing
| ton, and may be Richmond Pearson
/ Hobson is one Of them.
