O'Clock this morning just before adj

of indescribable confusion, cheering.
hurrahing, waving of hats, coats and

A resolution demanding division Of

North Carolina thus placing itself OF
record as favoring in every possible
way the education of the negro ant

It then speaks of NATIONAL politics
I'VE condemn the President for his sur
render to trust influences and for nj
failure to enforce the law against mo
nopolies. Congress appropriated $500,
900 to employ special counsel to en-
force the laws against trusts.
twelve months he expended for sue
purposes only one-twentieth of tina
sum. In the midst of crime and havo
committed by these wrong doors h
will not stop the violation of statute
enacted for the protection of the pee
pie nor punish the criminals who plum
der them, although his attention wa
called to the manner in which the pei
petrators might be punished by recer
decisions of the Supreme Court.
