BECOME RECEIVERS
Capt. K. S. Finch and
Lawyer FIemming Take
News and Observer.

Two gentlemen walked down Fayette
vile street yesterday morning.
Few knew them, and none stopped to
speculate on the comradeship between
them.
They passed within the business office
of the News and Observer and they shut
the door behind them. Then they went
into executive session with the book
keeper of the company.
And who We're they? Why, Capt. K. s.
Finch, OF New York, your orator" OF
Federal Court renown in connection with
the one time rcceivcrship OF the a. and
N. G. Railroad, and Attorney Woodviiie
Fleming, of New York representative OF
the fifty shares OF stock in the A. and
N. c., held by the Cuyler heirs, of New
York.
And what were these two ''a-doin' :"
in the News and Observer Office? Were
they asking for look at the books?''
Nay, verify, beloved, they were not, but
they came to subscribe to the paper.
And why? That's an easy question. Both
have lived in North Carolina though now
registering from New York and both want
to nnow whats what and Wnat is doing
in the State in these stirring times, anG
they know that the way to find this on;
is to subscribe to the News and Obser-
YER and from The Old Reliable" to get
the news that is news and that is straight
news.
And so today Messrs. Finch and Fien-
ing are receivers" OF the News and OBJ
server, that is, if Uncle Sans postal force
shoves things along. And as they receive
and read the paper they viii be able 20
congratulate themselves that they are UP
with the times.
Capt. Finch paid cash for TIE paper did
not offer his note, nor ask that the papos
be handed him and then held in the Office
as collateral. This being so unlike Il Ger

But the book-keeper would not brighten
worth cent, but quietly credited the
cash account with the subscription Paid
by Messrs. Finch and Fleming and put
their names on the books.
They want news and want to keep up
with the procession. Hence they join the

NEWSPAPER M0DESTY.

The New York Sun has been getting
after the Hearst papers for saying so
much about Mr.. Hearst's candidacy. MIR.
Hearst's reputation for modesty is not
increased by the steady stream OF praise
that flows from his own papers, but the
Suns glass house residence ought to
have caused it to remain silent. Here is
the retort that the American makes to
the Suns criticism of advocacy of Hearst
by the Hearst papers:
But the palm for modesty is surely
borne off by the real owner of the Sun,
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan. who never ad-
vertises his proprietorship at all.
THE Sun is an interesting figure in
Journalism. 1t has not merely taken q
brief for the plutocracy. like the ordinary
trust organ. but gladly and proudly wears
the buttons of a lackey. Its opinions

INDIAN NAMES.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The Raleigh News and Observer is
making a commendable fight for the pre-
servation OF Indian names in Tar-heel-
dom.
1t is an excellent movement. The only
musical, the only poetical names We
have are the Indian names. They are
as soft and liquid as tho Italian or Jap.
anese or the ancient Greek terms. There
is the sigh OF the breeze in the rrinie-
vel forest and the lap and ripple Of the
untroublsd streams in them. They
give q leaven to our harsh Anglo Saxon
jargon-the leaven that the mocking tlrd
might give to the clatter and rumble OF
our busy streets.
And these names are being put away
