A GRACIOUS ACT.

The whole State is debtor to the
good people of New Bern who were
the gracious and hospitable hosts at
the unwilling of the New Jersey mon
ument to the soldiers from that State
who fell in honorable warfare in and
near that city in the War Between
the States. The story of the interest
ing occasion has been told in these
columns already, and elsewhere is
printed additional and fuller parucu-
lars of the deepest interest to North
Carolina.
The Governor of the State and his
staff, with other prominent citizens OF
North Carolina. were present to voice
the States welcome. The Confeder-
ate Veterans, the Daughters of the
Confederacy and the other citizens of
New Bern, however, were the hosts,
and they more than sustained New
Berns century-old reputation for ele-
CANT and generous hospitality and en-
tertainment.
1t is a matter for congratulation to
note the spirit of amity and friend
ship prevailing between the soldiers
who wore the blue and those who
wore the gray. Such incidents as that
at New Bern cement the good feeling
between the people of the North and
the South. The soldiers of New Jer-
sey, to whose memory the monument
was unveiled on Thursday, were pa
triots and loved their State just as
the brave Confederate soldiers were
patriots and loved their State. 1t is
fitting that New Jersey should erect
this monument at New Bern; fitting
that North Carolina should erect a
monument at Gettysburg, Appomattox,
Bethel and Chickamauga. We COM
memorate the courage and valor of
American soldiers, each fighting for
the cause dear to his heart. 1t was
beautiful to see the brave men who
were once foes fraternizing as
brethren, and learning to respect and
honor the virtues of each. New
Bern has dispensed North Carolina
hospitality and at the same time given
a new object lesson of the kindly re-
lations that subsist between the brave
men who fought under Lee and the
brave men who fought under Grant.

The story of how Mr.. Cox made the
way how he made bricks without
straw, and how he is the same indus
trious and unassuming man while
prosperity smiles upon him is one that
should be known far and wide in
North Carolina. His example is a
stimulus to young men in school here.
1t will be a stimulus to young men
everywhere who read it.
Twenty-Five years ago-it may have
been thirty though you would never
suspect that they were old enough
Mr.. and Mrs. Cox began life in
their first home, and they lived in an
old log house with dirt chimney and one
corner of the old house rested on the
ground, because the block was rotten.
They were full of faith and industry
then, and as success has smiled upon
them and they live in a better house,
they make it bright and attractive
the centre of a hospitality that gives
pleasure to all who share 1t.
1t was about 1880 that Mr.. Cox first
introduced his cotton planter, the
foundation of his manufacturing sue
cess. The beginnings were small and
crude. He began his canvass to sell
his planters by hauling them on a
rail-body cart because he could not
afford a better means of canvassing.
Times have changed since then and
Mr.. Cox is now at the head of COM
panies, worth over 50,000-perhaps
more. He has made money-not
a great fortune as men in cities or
men particularly favored-and when
he has made money he has shared it
with his church and poured it out
to help to educate young men and
women. He has learned that it pays
to invest money in immortal mind.
Mr.. Cox is the sort of captain of in
dustry the world needs-men of affairs
who practice the doctrine make all
you can, save all you can, give all
you cam" and who keep in close touch
with those struggling to make the
best of themselves that is possible
MI. lux never RUBBED MS n6aQ
against a college WALL but he ap-
preciates education perhaps more
than many who enjoyed the best ad-
vantages, and is doing more in proper
ton to his means to educate the peo-
pie of his section than any man
know in North Carolina. Providence
looks kindly upon such men, and in
nearly every instance these lines
are descriptive of what happen to
him:
There was a man and people called
him mad:
The more he gave away the more he
had"
Mr.. Cox has made money and put it
in buildings for the development of
brains, and he has made more and
more as he has given more and more.
If every community in North Carolina
had such citizen as Mr.. Cox. Hitter
acy would soon be banished from
North Carolina. I'D.

Freight cars might be built to ad-
vantage in North Carolina, but the
refrigerator cars, which are necessary
to the berry and truck growers are
another proposition. The man who
built one of these in North Carolina
would find himself in the fix that
Robinson CruSoe was, when, having
with much work built a great boat
in the interior of his island where the
timber was handy, found that it was
his labor for his pains, because he had
no way to get the craft to the sea. The
refrigerator cars of the country, with
trifing exceptions, belong to the Beef
Trust, and if there were a thousand
such cars idle in North Carolina be-
longing to other parties, the Atlantic
Coast Line wouldn't give ten cents
apiece for them, for the simple reason
that it would no sooner put a lighted
torch to the finest depot on its line
than it would undertake to operate
zone of them. Not only do the allied
packing houses of the West, lead by
Armour, and known as the Beef
Trust, own the refrigerator cars, but
they compel the roads that operate
them to illegally chisel the shippers
u
dollars every day, which goes into the
treasury of the trust, and not to the
railroads. Since the Beef Trust got
control of the refrigerator cars, they
have not only murdered every other
concern that dared touch them, but
have quickly sandbagged every rail
road that refused to rob the public for
them.
We have seen it stated in a reputa-
BILE publication that the Illegal money
collected by the Beef Trust through
its refrigerator car system of robbery
from the shipments of perishable stuff
in one season from Wilmington alone
amounts to $4,000. This is one way
that the Beef Trust slugs North Caro-
lima. Most people think of the Stand
ard Oil Company as the manufacturer
and seller of the kerosene that goes
into their lamps, and don't dream that
it largely controls the railroad bank
ing, insurance and kindred lines of
business of the country and is every
day getting stronger hold upon them
ALL Likewise, when the Beef Trust is
mentioned, there is a vague idea of
something that butchers meat and
sells bacon, and no thought of the fact
that it not only controls the meat
market of the country absolutely, but
nearly as completely the grain, fruit
and other food products, and the avs
erage man would laugh if told that
the same institution comes to North
Carolina and lays it's greedy hands
upon the poor huckleberry piekers OF
the sand hills. But some time the
people will know all these things. and
the mere cry of socialism will NOT
sidetrack the matter.

THE HOGS IN THE TROUGH.

The determination of the Panama
Commission to buy two ships abroad
for $65O,00O for which American
builders charge $1,4OO, 900, is the best
object lesson of the extortions which
the protective tariff permits that this
generation has seen. The voters have
been deaf to the arguments and figures
that proved conclusively that the pro-
tective tariff was the parent of most
trusts and compelled consumers to
pay two prices that the giant manu-
facturers, united in a combine, =
might grow on it beyond computation.
But now the object lesson is SO plain
that they must see it,
The Washington Post quotes close
friend of President Roosevelt as say
ing 1.-THE hogs must be forced to
take their feet out of the trough"
Will they be forced to do it? Will
, the Panama Commission dare to make
many purchases abroad?" Already
note and have began to organize to
let the hogs keep their feet in the
trough. 1t is too good to hope that
the hogs" will have to get out of the
trough" The President may make
them take a little less-and here's
hoping he will do that much-but the
only hope for making them get their
feet out of the trough is to make such
reduction and alteration of the tarirf
as TO put all articles on the free list
made by a trust

GOOD AND USEFUL MEN"


On the first Monday in June the jury
box for the next two years will be pre-.
pared The law on this subject is
plain. Section 1922 of the Code pro.
vides that the tax books shall be laid
before the Commissioners, ''from
names of such persons only as have
paid their taxes for the preceding year
and are of good moral character ana
of sufficient intelligence" Section
1924 provides; 'Tf the list so made
out does not contain the names of all
the inhabitants who are qualified as
provided to serve as jurors, the Com.
missioners shall insert the names OF
such inhabitants in the jury list
1t is plain that the law does not per-
NIT any names to be placed in the jury
list except of tax payers, men of good
moral character, and men of sufficient
intelligence. But the names of all
such men, unless excused by statute,
should go in the jury box. The law
wants no name except those OF good
and lawful men, but 1t wants the
names of all good and lawful men.
unless exempted, in that box. Com
vice to their counties than that by
constructing a jury list the first Mon
day in June representative of the char
acter, the industry, and the law-abid-
ing sentiment Of their county. They
can do no greater harm than by pro-
viding jury box containing the names
of many lawless men, Migrants, loaf
ers, blockade distillers, blind tiger
sympathizers, tax dodgers, etc. With
the latter kind of a jury box the laws
cannot be enforced. From such a box
it is scarcely possible to draw juries
without including in them some sym
pathizer with some of the various
forms of illegality. 1t is hard to ex-
yho do nothing themselves, but whose
wives and children work to support
him, to enforce the law against va
grancy. Such men are themselves
liable to indictment, and their inter-
est is, first, to get the $50 which the
law pays to the juror, and, second, to
set a precedent whereby they them
selves, if indicted, may escape trouble.
Already an effort is being made to dis
courage enforcement of the laws
against the illicit sale of liquor. Some
of the liquor papers are already de-
nouncing those laws and encouraging
juries to acquit These papers are say
ing that it is heroic for drunkard to
go to Jail rather than to obey the law
and tell whence he illegally bought his
liquor. They say it is heroic for a
moonshiner to hang a jury and for
ever prevent a conviction in such
cases.
We would not for a momen advo-
cate the filing Of the jury boxes with
none but prohibitionists. Such con-
duct would be wrong, and no one
would go further than we to condemn
it. But all men, who are themselve:
law-abiding, who are of good mora
character, of sufficient intelligence, and
have paid their taxes for the veal

their names should go in the box They
should be selected because they come
up to those specifications, and not be<
cause they are either prohibitionists
or nti-prohibitionists, Democrats or
Republicans, but solely because they
are good and lawful men,"
This important matter will be set
tied for two years on the next first
Monday. 1t is well worth the atten-
ton of every good citizen. Let US have
good jury boxes. Then let the men
who are drawn for this high respon-
sibility consent to serve and not shirk,

Graft.

The following is from the News

There are more WAYS of plittine o.
men of influence under obligations
than anybody but a railroad man un-
derstands. Some are given passes, and
in order to eVade the law are made
employees directors law agents. at
torneys, or some other designation that
does not contravene the law Some
are given special concessions in the
way of side tracks, rebates. or some
like graft. Others are permitted to
put their dependents on the pay roll at
better salaries than are paid to men
whose kin cannot help the railroad in
politics 1t has been said that it is
often almost impossible for any man,
even to firemen, seeking apprentice
ships, to get q start unless by the re-
quest of some special influence. BY a
thousand devices the laws against dis
ordinations are evaded and Haunted

force them, the railroad is sure 10

relative on the pay roll or has some
other species of graft"
Graft is becoming the bane of this
country. 1t is said that Americanism
means the equality Of opportunity.
That is the theoretical meaning, but
it is no longer the practical one And
the pity of it all is that the public

A Virginia applicant for license to
run a liquor still argued that he ought
to have a license because he ran a
Sunday School in his still house. That
still was not licensed by the judge.
And he did right. A dozen Sunday
Schools would not make a liquor still
any better 1t is poor logic to run an

then set UP a Sunday School to try to
reclaim a few of them. The two

and Pitt has several excellent schools,
so that winning the medal over all is
a splendid test of the good work done
here.
In educational matters, Pitt has
shown more progress in the past four
years than any county in Eastern
North Carolina. Four years ago there
was not a public school in Pitt coun-
ty that employed more than one
teacher. About that time the progress
sive Board of Education of the coun-
ty had the wisdom to demand all of
the time of Prof. w. H. Ragsdale,
easily one of the foremost educators
in the State, as County Superintend-
ent of Schools. He is "a steam en-
through the county as an evangel of
public education, talked to the people
in their homes and in public, and
has lead in securing a sentiment for
public education that has already
made itself felt and that will, within
"a few years bless every school district
in the county. Here sis the record:
Four years ago not a school in Pitt

to the public school policy of the
State is the county superintendent.
