certain district had killed a human be-

that the Tiger Man was put to the
hardest test OF his life. He claimed i'm

beast and serpent, and lie was sent in
to jungle in which three full grown
tigers had taken refuge from some
sportsmen, one of whom was the gov

There were more than forty people

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with

plants. Same food. same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.

at a time when he was not an applicant
for their favor and a candidate for
Mr.. Rooosevelt's true sentiments to-

from The News and Observer:
president Roosevelt wrote a book. en-
titled Ranch Life and Hunting Trail.
On pages 9 n 10 in this book he de-
scribeS the cowboy of the west. He
declares that the COWBOY is fond of
villianous whiskey, that when DRUNK
he cuts antics, that he shoots upon a
slight provocation, that he d~eSecrateS
the Sabbath day, that the is a born gam
bier, that he frequently rides his bron-
cho into a neighboring town daShing up
and down the streets firing off his pistol
TO the terror of women n children.
And yet, after describing in his book
this lawless and abandoned character,
he uses these WOrOS concerning mis-
friend the drunken cowboy: They
meaning the cowboy are much betterI
fellows and pleasanter companions thanl

NOT AS TT SHOULD BE.

All the papers are now full OF edu-I
cattoDal news and articles. Certainl
leaders seem to have gone mad over
education, but are the people as tn-I
fensely interested over the matter II
One would not think SO to visit the
rural schools and see the slim attend-i
ance of the white children. Last fall
and winter the writer visited a number
Of white schools in eastern North Car
DINA, and at hardly one OF them did
he n an attendance Of over half OF
he pupils assigned. Colored schools
visited, showed a full attendance and
sonic OF them taught Saturdays
What's the matter 2-New Bern Jour-
ma.
Statements OF this sort appear en-
tirely too often in the press of this
state. From the evidence gathered it|
is evident that the white people Of
rural districts are not making the
most of the advantages offered them
for the education of their children.
This is not as 1t should be. 1t is a
deplorable fact that in many sections
of our state the negroes seem to at
tach more Importance to the educa-
ton of their children than do the
white people.
In many school districts Of the state
the white people have become enthus-
iastic on the subject of education and
have voted to levy special for
the purpose of increasing their educa-
tional facilities. but we do not believe
that as a whole the white people of
the rural districts have yet come to
realize the importance OF giving their
children better education. while the
negroes everywhere are utilizing their
schools to the full extent provided by
the state.
If this continues h result will be
disastrous in the course of a few years.
After 1908 the grand father clause II,
the suffrage provision of the constitu-
ton will become imperative. Every
male white person who becomes Of
age after that date must be able to
read and write in order to exercise
the privilege of voting. All negro
males who are of age and can read
and write are entitled to vote. If,
gro males reaching their majority
who can read and write Is greater
than that of the whites any n of the
can see what the consequences will be.
This is not by any means the only
reason that the white people should
pay more attention to the education
of their children, nor is it the most
important one. 1t should be done for
the sake Of their children and of their
children's children. in order that they
may be better citizens, may be happier
and better fitted to enjoy life and to
exercise inteligently the privileges OF
citizenship in a country governed by
h people. ieiAsg
The leaders in the campaign of ed
ucation should devote more attention
to persuading the people to avail
themselves to greater extent of the ex-
listing advantages. This is more i'm.
portant, it wou seem. from the
newspaper reports, than urging extra
taxation for increasing public schoo
facilities.

DEATH OF G. z. FRENCH.

North Carolina during reconstruction
days. Mr.. French was better known TO
wilmington people as deputy sheriff.
postmaster, and republican leader in
our city, and az one Of tia men who
figured conspicuousiy In h revolution
of 1898. On his politica. career in this
state in 1868 and GO and in III city
for the few years preceding The election
of 1898 it Is not worth while foF us TO
comment, for there is nothing in it that
we could commend, with much to con-
denim.
Outside Of pclitics, in his business
trans etions Mr.. French established
here a reputation for honesty and in
tegrity. His word was relied on by
those thrown in business relations
with him, and we are told that he never
disappointed them. AS an official he
was affible, polite and accommodating
to all who had dealings with him.
Mr.. French was a native Of Maine.
He came to Wilmington as a suffer
with the federal army In 1866 erd
made this city his home until 1898,

THE REPUBLICANS UNEASY

It looks like the republicans expec.
to buy Mr.. Roosevelt's way into the
White house. They have been unable
to stir up any enthusiasm for their
candidates. The campaign has been SO
quiet and the people nave shown so
little interest in Mr.. Roosevelt's cleo
ton that they are afraid that his de-
feat will be brought about through
apathy of the people. They have decided
that h only way to overcome this is
by the extravagant use of money.
Votes must be had one way or another.
They cannot arouse people to en-
thusiasm for their candidates, SO they
have determined to do with money
what they cannot accomplish through
the free will and choice of the people.
There are too many states in the doubt
full column to suit them. Too many
prominent men who supported McKin-
ley are declaring for Judge Parker, and
the different factions Of the democratic
party are too solidlv united on him
for their peace of mind. The conse-
quence is they are raising the largesr
campaign fund ever raised in a cam
paign. This money is to be lavishly
expended in the doubtful states. Two
million dollars is to be spent in the
state Of New York alone, and the nat
ional committee is asked for one hun
dred and ~forty-seven thousand for the
purpose of carrying West Virginia
