H0RNER WINSTON
GETS It
Rhodes Scholarship, with
Henry Trantham AL
ternate.

Horner Winston has been awarded
the Cecil Rhodes scholarship at OK
ford, with Henry Tranthan as alter.
nate.
The committee, consisting of Presi
dent +. p. Venable, of the University
OF North Carolina: Prof. J. b. Carlyle
of Wake Forest College; Prof Edwin
Minis, of Trinity College; Prof Ebel
Alexander, of the University, and Prof
j. l.. Douglass, of Davidson College
met yesterday at twelve o'clock in the
office of Hon. j. Y. Joyner, State Sup
erintendent of Public instruction
Prof. Douglass was unable to be pres
ent. The committee considered the
merits of the four young men who
had come uo to all the requirements
and were eligible for the fellowship.
Seven had applied in the first place,
and three had dropped out.
The successful candidate, Homer
Winston, was graduated from the Uni
versity of North Carolina this month
with the degree of A. b. He is a son
of Judge r. w. Winston. of Durham.
Henry Tranthan, the alternate, was
graduated from Wake Forest College
two years ago, with the highest hon
ors. Since that time he has been
teaching at Oak Ridge.
1t will be remembered that Cecil
Rhodes provided in his will that two
scholarships at Oxford, for three
years, of the value of $1.500 a year,
should be offered to each political di-
vision of every English and German
speaking nation of the world. with
the idea Of allying the Anglo-Saxon
people by training up leaders with a
like education at an English school
and imbued with English ideas. Be-
sides excellence in scholarship, the
candidates must show by their records
that they have attained some measure
of leadership and influence among
their fellow Students, and must also
show successful participation in out
door sports.
The other scholarship for North
Carolina will be awarded next year.
Mr. Winston has studied law. and
been an athlete and orator at college,
a member of Phi Literary Society, Zeta
Psi fraternity and various societies..
He is a grandson of James II. Horner,
founder of the Horner School at OK
ford. and probably the most gifted
teacher the State has produced. The
Horners are an English family, and
for many years have occupied promi-
nent places in the Church Of England,
several of them having been bishops.
His grandfather on the fathers side
was Patrick Henry Winston, promi-
nent lawyer and planter of North
Carolina in this century. The Win
stons are also an English family, and
have been conspicuous for many years
in the political, literary and social
life of English history. The best
known representative of the family
in England now is Lord Randolph
Churchill, whose mother was Win
ston. 1t is an interesting fact that
Mr.. Winston's two grand fathers at
tended the University of North Caro-
lima together and were rival debaters,
to such an extent that on one occasion
the students held a meeting between
just those two. to determine the
speaking championship.

Memorial to the Confederate.

Nashville, Tenn, June 15.-At Cen
tennial Park today the cornerstone
of monument to the private soldiers
of the Confederacy, the tribute of the
Nashville veterans to the enlisted
men, was laid with impressive cere
monies under the direction of the
Masonic fraternity.
State Grand Master James l.. Sloan
presided. The orator of the day was
Hon. Henry WatterSon, of Louisville,
KY. Mr.. Watterson said in part:
I'VE build this monument to valor.
We build it to probity. We build it
as glorious tribute to the men who
fell by our side. We build it to the
spirit of the dead Confederacy We
need not assert-we gave four years
proof-that we fought for liberty.
Millions of us loved the Union. Mil
lions of us detested slavery. Millions
of us denied the doctrine of secession.
There is no smell of treason on our
garments; no faint or corruption in
our blood. Grant was the first peace
maker. Lee gave himself as hostage
for the rest of us. Two Confederate
generals wear the blue again, and
the gray worshipS at it's ShrineS, even
as we worship this day, without so
much as the suspicion of disloyalty;
yea, with the encouragement and
sympathy of every true soldier of the
North.
Happy issue; happy we who have
lived to see it. Let us not wiring our
hearts by recalling the past-the
drums and tramplings of the legions
nor the faces of the dead-but let
us rather feel that they died not in
pain: let us rejoice that out of the
wreck, the South saved both her race
hood and her manhood. Finally let
us resolve that, if another day of
travail should overtake the reunited
union, the North shall find in the
South a shield and a buclSler alike
against the organized corruption of
mammon and the militant insanity of
agrarianism, forbidding a second 'ir-
repressible conflict forbidding the
threatened collision between capital
and labor; forbidding it in the name
of the Constitution which assures uni
formity of laws; in the name of the
government, which, whilst enforcing
those laws, will mete out exact JUS
tice and compel equality Of oppor-
tunity.'

HEAD SOLID SORE
Awful Suffering Of Baby and
SleepIess Nights of
Mother,
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end Of that terrible disease,
eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
"My babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old swelling appeared on the
back of her head, and in course Of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of a
dime to that of dollar. / used all
kinds of remedies that could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared it would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged
father came on a visit, and when he
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
ITO please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign Of
its returning"

His Nomination, Says Mississippi.

ternoon instructed the delegates from
Mississippi to the National convention

rousing speeches were made by Con-
gresham Williams, Senator H. d.
Money and McLaurin and Governor
Vardaman. After the speeches the
convention adjourned until o'clock
in order to give the districts time in

The platform committee through it's
chairman Congressman Williams, re-
ported platform. 1t calls for wise
conservative and business like reduc-
ton of the tariff by the friends of the
masses and the commonwealth, and
says:
1--WE think it our duty to guard
from European oppression and colon
ization and from European super-im-
position or monarchial intrusion. the
countries in the western hemisphere

did Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or

Monroe Doctrine, as the acting presi-
dent of the United States seems to
conceive it, to administer the affairs
of Central and South America"
Referring to the preservation OF the
open door in the Orient the platform
contains a strong plea for freedom for
the F'ilipinos. 1t sets up that the
white man has no right to go to the
brown mans country and set up ms
civilization, but lays down the propo-
sition that it is the duty of the white
man to preserve his own civilization
in his own country. A section of the
platform which ELECTED prolonged ap>
plause calls for a better and more
cordial treatment of. and more ade-
uuate return to heroes like Admiral

platform also deals with the race
question and announces that it is the
sacred duty and intention of the white
man to preserve the white mans civil
lization and code of ethics, 1.-The CEN
trail tenet of which is the sanctity of
the family life.
