COL. A. B. ANDREWS.
Just and Worthy Tribute to Man
All North Carolina Esteems.

| Fairbrother Everything.
In commenting on the president
and first vice president of the South
ern Railway. both officials Southern
men, the Charlotte Observer the
other day copied the following from
the Goldsboro Argus:
The people are realizing day by
day, how much the development of
North Carolina is due to the South
ern Railway, ramifying as it does SO
many sections of our State and ex-
tending it's lines into many distant
States. Moreover, these same people
realize, too, that the man who has
been the chief factor i'm this develop
ment is Col. A. b. Andrews, first vice
president of the Southern Railway
system.
| "While Colonel Andrews has always
| looked to the interests of the South
ern, which he has seen grow from its
incipiency to n great system, ut the
same time, patriotic North Carroll
man that he is, from young man
hood, when he wore the uniform of
Confederate soldier to this day, he
has ever been true to the interests of
his people and as we have watched
| our grand old mother State strug
Cling up from the prostrating raw
ages of the war unto the proud en-
inence she holds today in the sister
| hood of States and realize that her
greatest achievements of develop
ment have been in the territory ram
flied and subserved by the Southern
Railway. The Argus has ever been
glad and grateful to yield the chief
credit for this SO great progress-a
progress that gives profitable en-
plOyment and happy homes OF COM
fort to thousands upon thousands in
countless avocations of industrial
enterprises-tO the one man who has
abided at his task, whose brain con-
ceived, whose patriotism fOstered
| and whose rare executive ability
guided and sustained the energies
and forces that have worked out this
prosperity for his native State.
And after copying it the Observer
said:
"This is thoroughly well deserved
and the Observer is glad of an OPP
portunity to copy and endorse it
Everything is very glad to give
space to the two tributes above and
add it's own by saying that the other
day when President Roosevelt was
speaking from his car, and Colonel
Andrews was standing in the car
door Immediately back OF the Presi-
dent, yet in full view of the great
crowd gathered at the Greensboro
depot, a we'll known gentleman said
Colonel Andrews looks fully as big
a man as the President-and in his
line he is bigger. No political prefer
ment, no chance or party platform
or principle raised Colonel Andrews
to the forefront in the railroad
world. What he has achieved was
because of hard work; of deep
tho lght and splendid executive
ability

facing the questions of today in the

facing the questions of today in the
spirit of today.
But we think that to SOutherners
there is a tribute which is sweeter
than all other praise. We have often
been told Of Southern valor in the
days OF the war, but President Roos-
evelt strikes chord less often struck
when he pays his tribute to the pa
tent efforts of Southern men and
women through the long years OF
poverty and chaos which followed
the close of the war.
The President then passes on to
discuss some OF the great issues of
today, which he says the South is
facing together with the rest of the
country. We must, whether we
would or not, take our part on the
stage OF worldwide action, preserv-
ing the middle course between the
swagger of the bully and the craven
which seeks peace at any price. La
Dor and capital, the industrial de-
velopment of the times is viewed not
in the light OF theory, but as an ac-
tual condition to be faced. Organi-
cations of both labor and capital
have come to stay, and we should
earnestly endeavor not to stamp
them out, but to regulate them so
far as the public good requires. 1t
makes no difference. says the Presi-
dent, whether the rich Cypress the
poor or the poor plumber the rich
either condition means an end of JUS
tice and freedom.
These. as we see it. are the main
points touched on by the President,
but underlying each and every one
OF them, the same monotone rings
clear and strong and true-a square
dear'-to quote his own words-a
square deal between North and
South-between nation and nation
between employer and employee
between rich and poor-a square
deal because only by giving every
man to know that no man il too
iowly to claim the protection of the
law and no man too rich and power
full to be beyond it's reach, can the
public be preserved.
Amen, says every true American to
his President, and here in the Old
North State, where liberty and fair
dealing have been the guarded and
boosted treasures Of q century, we
echo from our hearts that grand
amen.
May every one of our countrymen
join with President Rooseveltin bring
ing about the day of the square deal

The President in the South.
Greensboro Industrial News.

Greensboro Industrial News.
The President of the United States
returned to the seat OF government
after one of the most remarkable
weeks ever spent by Il President of
this nation.
For President Roosevelt came into
the South and took the South by the
hand and looked straight into her
eyes and told the South that the day
OF strife and bitterness was past and
that only the glory of it all-the
glory Of the blue and the glory of the
gray-remained as the common her.
itage OF a reunited nation.
And the South, with her heart
strangely stirred, looked into Presi-
dent Roosevelt's eyes as she took
his hand, and saw friend and
brother; and felt, as she had not felt
for forty years, that the God who
holds the affairs OF man in the hol-
low of His hand had decreed that we
should be one nation for the veal of
all.
The applause which greeted the
President throughout the course of
his journey would have made glad
the heart of any living man, but the
President can take back with him the
thought that he struck deeper,
holier chord in the South than that
which echoes to mere applause; and
the South on her part feels and
knows that Theodore Roosevelt car
ries with him to the administration
of his great office a clearer vision
and a truer and more sympathetic
knowledge of the thoughts and needs
and aspirations of the South and
Southern people.
We feel sure that as the days go by
with both the President and the
South the feeling will grow that the
visit was of mutual pleasure and
mutual profit.
1t is almost impossible to give a
resume of one of President Roose-
velt's speeches without quoting the
speech in full, but there seems to be
two or three notes which, stand out
in bold relief.
To begin with he pays a glowing
and impartial tribute to the soldiers
OF the civil war, each fighting, as the
President says, for the right as he
saw it, and leaving to all Americans
a common heritage of glory. And
then there is the South OF today

LET US GIVE THANKS.
The President Names the Last Thurs
day In November as the Day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Presi-
dent today issued his proclamation
naming Thursday, November 30.
next as day for Thanksgiving. The
proclamation follows:

States OF America.
a PROCLAMATION.
when nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public, they fronted not only hard
ship but terrible risk to their lives.
In those grim years the custom grew
OF setting apart one day in each year
for a special service of Thanksgiving
to the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become nation
al, and hallowed by immemorial
ushge. We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our fOrefathers,
the men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days; and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time in
our historw,. 1t is eminently fitting
that once year our people should
set apart Il day forpraise and thanks
giving to the giver of good, and, at
the same time. that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mer-
cies received, should manfully ac-
knowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in
,NH f.,I /, To e,tr 10
them. During the past year we have
been blessed with bOuntiful crops
Our business prosperity has been
great. No other people have ever
stood on as high IL level of material
well-being as ours now stand. We
! are not threatened by foes from with
out The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own
passions, appetites and follies; and
against these there is always need
that we should war.
''TherefOre, | now set apart Thurs
day, the Both day of this November,
as IL day OF Thanksgiving for the past
and OF prayer for the future, and on
that day ask that throughout the
land the people gatherin their homes
and places OF worship, and in render
ing thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings of the past
year cOnsecrate themselves to a life
OF cleanliness, honor and wisdom, SO
that this nation may do it's allotted
work on the earth in IL manner
worthy of those who founded it and
of those who preserved it.
In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be fixed.
Done at the City of Washington,

Advice to the Negro.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
Addressing the negro students at
Tuskegee, President Roosevelt said
You are in hOnOr' bound to joir
hands in favor of law and order and
to war against all crime, and espec.
tally against crime by men of your
own race; for the heaviest wrong done
by the criminal is done to his owl,
race"
This is advice and truth the negro
ought to ever keep before him. This
also:
You must teach the people of your
race that they must scrupulously oh.
serve any contract into which they
in good faith enter, no matter wheth-
er it is hard to keep or not"
The american has sought to i'm
press this on the thoughtful negroes
the teachers and preachers who can
exert a wholesome influence over
members of their race whose capital
is his own labor. The average cook
or servant thinks nothing of violat-
ing her contract or obligation, OF
leaving her employer without cause
or warning. The average negro man
will do the same thing. How can
they hope to inspire confidence or
respect as long us they have such lit
tie sense of honor honesty? This
language of the President of the
United States is worth repeating:
Remember also the white man
who can be of most use to the color
ed man is that colored mans neigh
Dor. 1t is the Southern people them
sleeves who must and can solve the
difficulties that exist in the South. !"
This is the mistaken truth upon
which the South has always insisted.
The Southern white man is the ne
gro's best friend. To say that he is
not the negroes friend is to say that
the negro has no friend who can be
OF any use or value to him. Roose-
welt spoke the truth when he said the
South must solve the race problem.
Nobody else can do it. The South
will solve it as fairly, as Justly and
as satisfactorily rs nearly as may be
through human Judgment, courage
and patience. 1t has survived the
infamies and shown the errors of the
reconstruction DAYS and the theories
OF those who have no knowledge of
the subject and who for al time dis
played fanatical zeal, but who for the
most part have acknowledged their
error at last. The South has proved
equal to the problems which have
confronted her. and she will not fail
in this.
While passing through North Car
DINA the negro question was NELL
TONED to Roosevelt, and he replied
that his idea of the square deal doc
trine as applied to the negrois: Help
him if he stumbles: but if lac lies down
let him stay" That is putting it in
few words. The State, OF Columbia,
S. C., quoting it says: Simply this.
and nothing more. And surely moth
ing more was needed. 1t is perfection.
The more one examines it, the more
beautiful and satisfactory it appears
This is not letting the rank tongue
blossom into speech as it is often
done in discussing the negro ques-
ton and therefore of the South. And
the negro has a new and more accu-
rate view of Roosevelt. Give all the
white people OF this Union the same
knowledge of the negro ard they will
have substantially the same opinion
OF him, with the South holding the
kindlier feeling for him.

Municipal advertising is today be-
coming IL feature of most progressive
towns and cities, Il meter that en-
cages the attention of tie citizens
who recognize that advertising is the
practical method OF presenting both
the individual and the municipality,
with the claims of each, before the
public, whose business they want.
But of most of this municipal ad-
vertising, how much does the local
newspaper get? Take Asheville in
this State, and it is said that an ad-
vertising agency outside of North
Carolina has the placing of Asheville's
municipal adveI tising. showing it's
city's advantages and attractions,
and these are shown in outside news
papers. Big advertisements ofLynch-
burg, Virginia, are to be seen Occa-
sionally in North Carolina newspa-
pers, how much of the business does
the Lynchburg or Virginia newspa-
pers get of this advertising?
Going farther away from home it is
noted that the enterprising citizens
| of several California towns are plac-
ing their advantages in the columns
ofeastern magazines. and on this line
the Los Angeles Herald says:
Ask any ten newly arrived home-seek-
ers what led them to consider migration
to Southern California. 1t is a good
guess that at least half of them were in
| tiuenced by newspapers OF this section
sent eastward to friends. 1t is a safe
| guess. anyway. that even such news
| papers as find their way eastward in
| this manner are far more effective IN In.
ducing immigration than all the special
| magazine and kindred stuff for which
much money is paid.
And so it is that nine persons out
| of ten will ask to be shown the local
newspaper of the place which they are
intending to make investments, rath-
er than accept what some OUTSIDE
magazine or newspaper may have to
say about it. And taking up the To-
cal newspaper, the average person
| will pretty accurately gauge the town
bv its appearance and general make
up, not to forget to what extent the
local merchants may be advertisers
| in its columns. And the local news
| paper is not going to mislead or de-
GIVE the outsider, but will pretty
.learly prove true index OF its com
| nunity, whether it is alive and pro-
.ressive or is going backward.

An Autumn Revere.
By REV. L. L. NASH. ID. ID

ot hEh Il. l.. NASU, ID. ID.
The year is dying, slowly dying.
The trees are growing thin and bare,
The russell and gold of Autumn
1Inge the forest everywhere
Nature is crying, softly crying.
10 mortals passing by,
AZ the autumn leaves are falling,
Your time is drawing nigh
The spring came softly singing.
With verdant hopes so high,
The summer came with golden fruit,
And nature begun to die
The seasons are but picture,
VI human life, SO fair
Blooming green in springtime,
In summer and autumn growing bare.
The pleasures and hopes of early life.
.Wither like forest leaves
And the most beautiful faces
Are 80 changed our spirit grievcs
For we are dying, slowly dying,
Like autumn leaves that we see
The russell and gold of the dying year,
Are tinglng you and me.
But springtime will come again,
With flowers and singing birds,
The landscape will bloom in beauty.
TO cheer the lowing herds.
So will man rise immortal
To greet that blessed morn.
In land all tinged with glory.
For ever free from storm
There no winter blast will greet us,
No change in face or form,
Pleasures will be immortal.
There no sorrow will ever come
SO while the dying year,
Speaks of death and the grave,
The beautiful flowers of springtime.
Tell of Him who came to save

Our Jury System.
Wilmington Messenger.


Perhaps some day a North Carolina
legislature may awake to the wisdom of
| SO amending the jury system as not to
require the unanimous agreement of II
men to reach verdict. Some provision
| ought to be made to prevent the stop
ping OF a prolonged case where a mem
Der of the jury happens to be taken sick,
and also to prevent mistrials when one
juror holds out against all the Others
Greenville Reflector.
There is no doubt that there should
be some changes made in our present
system of trial by jury. Except in
the qualification of jurors and the
method Of their selection the system
is today just what it was several
hundred years ago, when conditions
were SO different from what they are
now. There have been changes for
the better and tosuit the altered con-
ditions in ali the other branches of
the practice and administration Of
the law, but the people stick with
surprising and incomprehensive ten
acity to the old-time rules OF trial by
Jury. The trial by jury is theoreti-
cally the best that could be devised.
1t would he great blow to the liber-
ties and to the maintenance Of the
rights of the people to do away with
this system. Still there are some
features OF the present mode Of con-
Quoting these trials which should be
done away with. One of these is the
requirement Of a unanimous verdict
of twelve men composing that body
and another is the rule which requires
a minstrial when one of the Jurors be-
comes incapacitated to serve by rea-
son OF sickness or some other cause
occurring after the jury has been en-
paneled. Time and again OF late
years the effort has been made TO
amend the law regarding jurors in
these respects, but such effort has al
ways met with defeat There should
certainly be II law VIII ich would pre-
vent one man from baking the action
of the other eleven on the Jury with
| him. We do not think that the ma
jority rule should be adopted, espec-
tally in trials for serious criminal of
! lenses: but we wish to see the day
| come when 1t case can be proceeded
with, Notwithstanding one of the
Jurors becomes incapacitated and
when it does not take the consent OF
all twelve men on the jury to decide
a civil suit or a criminalca of minor
magnitude. We believe public senti-
meDt is being led in that direction
and~that the time is not long distant
when the people who now stand so
jealousy by the old rules will see that
it is to their interest and for the good
Of the generalpublic that these strict
rules are relaxed. This would be no
greater innovation than many other
changes which have been made in the
practice before courts inaugurated
for the greater dispatch OF business
and for the benefit of litigants and of
the general public.
