A Northern Papers Tribute to Fitz.
hugh Lee.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
Papers throughout the country
have paid handsome tribute to the
memory of Fitzhugh Lee. Notable
among these is that of the New York
Sun, which says:
''The life OF Fitzhugh Lee, now ended,
extended through the stormiest, the most
critical, the most anxious period of Ameri-
can history, and the period also in which
the national development was greatest.
General Fitzhugh Lee typifed in his
life and character that period of struggle
and of final reconciliation. He came from
a long line of illustrious Virginians, and
he shared by inheritance in their State
pride and their theories of State SOW
ereignty. Accordingly, his adhesion to
the South in the movement for secession
from the Union which followed the cleo
ton OF Lincoln was both consistent and
inevitable. When a question which had
been disputed from the time of the adop-
ton OF the constitution was submitted
to the decision of war, of course Fitz-
bugh Lee was found on the side taken by
his State. When, however, that decision
was rendered against him and his fellows
OF the South, he accepted it without re-
thereafter, the restored Union became en-
gagged in war with a foreign power, he
proudly resumed the uniform of an Off
Ger of the United States army which he
had put of thirty-seven Years before to
serve the cause of secession and disrup-
ton. Fitzhugh Lee dies, therefore, a hero
OF the whole American people The illus
trious name he bore, typical of the high
est and purest American citizenship, is a
proud national possession 1t is name
almost canonized at the South and at
the North it is scarcely less honored.''
The warmest Southern admirer
could not say more of the distinguish
ed officer. The explanation of his
espousal of the cause of the Confeder-
acy and later that of the Union in
the Spanish-American war is entirely
accurate and just. Fitzhugh Lees
record is glorious one, and it is a
pleasure to see such recognition of
this fact at the North as we'll as at
the South.

The Seaboard as a Coal Carrier.

News ana Observer.
The coal trade journals have lately
reported large deals in the West Viz
ginia coal fields, one of which. last
month, amounted to 100000. The
other reaches nearly the same sum.
Whether the Seaboard Air Line will
carry to Southport the coal it is evil
dentlypreparing to haul to tide water
over the South & Western road which
it acquired recently from Geo. l..
Carter, is still speculative. This road
is being constructed from the Toms
Creek coal fields in West Virginia to
johnson City in East Tennessee. The
Seaboard's auxiliary line then cross
es the mountains into this State, eff
fecting a junction at Lincolnton with
the 5. A. l.. proper. With the COM
pletion OF this line the Toms Creek
coal can reach the sea via Hamlet.
1t is believed by many that the coal
will be carried from Hamlet to Will
mington and thence to Southport. a
distance OF thirty-two miles southeast
OF Wilmington. These say that it can
be delivered at Southport for from
40 to so cents a ton less than at
Portsmouth.
A reliable register gives the depth
OF water at Southport at low tide as
II feet, but vessels drawing "a feet
have crossed the bar at low water.
1t is said that the tremendous &C
tlyity in the coal fields is due to the
construction of the Panama canal,
The South American market now re-
quires in coal briqu cites and similar
fuel 100000 tens annually, and
those who haven charge the selection
OF an outlet to the sea will doubtless
choose the most logical point. 1t has
not as yet been disclosed whether or
not Southport has more favorable
chance than Portsmouth or Colum-
bia.

HUSTLING OKLAHOMA.

Perhaps no part of the West has
developed more rapidly in the past
few years than Oklahoma. Few peo-
pie have any idea how it has grown
in population and material wealth
and how cities have sprung up as if
by magic in the last ten or fifteen
years. Take Guthrie and Oklahoma
City for instance-mere infants in
age, but modern, we'll equipped, pop
ulous and prosperous cities with all
the public utilities and features of the
older and more civilized CD cities of
the East.
The best illustration of this that
we have seen was the sixty-twO page
anniversary edition of the Oklaho-
man, of Oklahoma City, recently pub
lished, a copy of which we have re-
ceived through the kindness of Mr..
l.. Howell Lewis, proprietor of Lewis
Crystalline Lithia Wells, the waters of
which are effecting such marvellous
cures and attracting so much atten-
ton throughout that portion of the
country. To use slang expression
1t was hummer with hOrns-Of the
Texas long horn variety at that. 1t
set forth the greatness of Oklahoma
City and a number of other towns of
the Territory in a splendid manner
and much benefit will undoubtedly
be derived from it in drawing atten-
ton to Oklahoma, it's vast possibili-
ties and rapid development The il
Illustrations and the descriptive ar
ticles were OF a high order, and demon
strated what the newspaper plants
OF the Territory are capable of doing
in matters of this kind.
The business men of Oklahoma Citv
showed their appreciation and the
spirit of enterprise and hustle char
acteristic of the Western people by
the amount of advertising space they
used.

THERE WILL BE NO SCALPlkG

Some Ridiculous Stories Growing Out
of the Novel Entertainment to be
Provided by Miller Bros. at Ranch
IoI, Near Bliss, Oklahoma, for the
Members of the National Editorial
Association.
Some ridiculous and rather amusing
stories have grown out OF the pro-
posed entertainment to be provided
by the Miller Bros, at Ranch lO1.
near Bliss, Oklahoma, for the Ma
tional Editorial Association dele
gates next month. Among other
things down on the program Is a
buffalo hunt, a day of cowboy sports
and Indian dances and ceremonies
depicting life on the plains and the
famous cattle ranches as they used
to be before the advance guard OF
civilization possessed the land. Then
the report got out that a man would
be scalped by the famous old Apache
Indian Geronimo, $1,000 being Of
fered the person who would yield him
self a victim to the scalper's knife.
This was taken seriously and the
story grew into the statement that a
man was actually going to be scalped
for the delectation of the newspaper
men and-ladies of the party. Absurd
as this story was it was dignifed to
the extent OF the president of the AS
ISOLATION going SO far as to commu-
nicate with the local committee at
Guthrie enquiring about the matter.
OF course he was promptly informed
that it was all a hoax arising from a
jocular remark made by an Oklahoma
man to a Kansas City newspaper re-
porter, and from that it spread. The
people of Oklahoma do not do things
by halves, but there will be no scalp
ing. What the Guthrieites, the Miller
Brothers, the citizens of Oklahoma
City and others will do for the men,
bers of the National Editorial Asso-
citation will be a plenty without that.
Speaking of the part the Miller
Brothers are to play in entertaining
the editors the Kansas City Journal
says:
The Miller Brothers are preparing
to give a buffalo hunt at "1O1" Ranch
that will cost them $4,000. At the
last annual convention of the Ma
tional Editorial Association Joseph
Miller invited the Association to hold
this years meeting in Oklahoma, and
he promised to feed every man on
buffalo. The Millers' National Fed
Grafton, which meets in Kansas City
June It'll, has also been invited in Il
body to attend the buffalo hunt, and
will 60 by special train. About 3d.
900 guests are expected at the ranch.
IS an enjoyable and picturesque
sample Of royal Western hospitality
this buffalo hunt and feast will make
the 100000 dinners of the effete
East look like pick-me-ups Oh a free
lunch counter.

HOW TO SETTLE NEGRO PROBLEM.
Brief But Pointed Views on the Sub
iect as Expressed by Gov. Glenn.

iect as Expressed by Gov. Glenn.
In response to a telegram received
few days ago from the New York
Herald asking "Will the negro prob
lem be best solved by wise tolerance
and education, or by congregation
and deportation?" Gov. Glenn imme-
diately replied as follows:
"Treat negroes kindly, but with
firmness. Be just to them and take
an interest in their welfare. Give
them their legal rights. Educate them
in hand and heart, as we'll as head,
giving them an industrial education
and furnishing them work suitable
to their requirements. Make them
better citizens by teaching them hon
esty, thrift, purity, truth and the
value of legal and moral obligations
thus forming character.
stop all twaddle about the negro
problem; it will adjust itself under
above treatment, and there will be
no need of deportation. Exercise
toward them Christian forbearance
and liberation, and instill into them
higher ideals OF life and it's RESPONSE
bilities, and we can make of the ne
gro a good and needed class of citi-
zens.'

FUNERAL OF DIR. T. c. BITTLE.

The funeral Of DR.. T. c. Bittle
was held in the assembly hall at
College yesterday morning at 8
o'clock, RI. Rev. George Kinsolv-
ing, Bishop Of Texas, conducting
the service. The body lay in state
from s to o a. m, with cadet
guard of honor, and was viewed
by hundreds, including the faculty
and officers of the College, stu
dents and other friends. The flo
raj offerings were elaborate in de.
sign, and exceedingly handsome.
The cortege moved from the as
assembly hall, preceded by the en-
tire corps Of cadets to the entrance
of the College grounds, where the
corps passed outside and formed
lines at present arms, the process
sion passing through the lines and
proceeding to the Bryan city Gem
etery, where the interment was
made at IL o'clock, in the presence
of large assemblage. The pail
bearers were selected from the
longtime associates Of the deceased
in the College faculty. DR.. Bittle
was laid to rest in the robes Of an
Episcopal clergyman, and Bishop
Kinsolving, a relative and warm
personal friend, confined himself
10 the burial rites of the Episcopal
church, refraining from pronoun.
cling any eulogy of DR.. Bittle, whose
life work speaks for him more elo-
quently than any words of postum
NOUS praise.
