things which are bought of effort
We are presuming that the condition
of the Carnegie offer will be met in
due course of. time. If there is any
thing in the impression that the people
are prosperous, and progressive, there
should be no trouble in a committee
raising the necessary funds. Probably
the alumni alone of the institution will
gladly give the amount. The project
is one which will appeal to every man
who has been a University student.
All these should be given promptly
opportunity to contribute in accord
ance with their means. A large per-
centage of the business and profess
sional leaders of the various commun-
tiles are University men. The alumni
associations are working forces which
could each do their part. While the
alumni should properly bear the major
portion of the subscription, donations
should be invited and welcomed from
all public spirited men. After all the
University is a State institution and
common pride.
Let the University accept the Car
negie library with the assurance that
the means of fulfilling the implied
obligation will be readily forthcoming.

THE NEGRO AND THE SOUTHERN
PEOPLE.

Last Sunday three instances in
North Carolina were cited in these
columns to prove that the best friends
of the negro in America are the South
ern white people. Unfortunately the
men who controlled the Southern pol
itics just after the war so shaped mat
ters as to make many negroes believe
otherwise. For their own selfish and
base ends they used the negro to make
such corrupt and incompetent govern
ment as to make it necessary for the
white people in the South to unite to
restrict negro suffrage. 1t has not in
jured the negro. 1t has in fact done
him good and. brought about better
conditions all around in the South.
The wiser negroes, freed from politi-
cal ambition, when not played upon
by designing men, appreciate the truth
industrious and law-abiding negroes
and that Southern white men are the
best and most substantial friends of
the negro. Rev. William H. Council,
the coIored president of the A. & NJ.
College for negroes at Normal, Ala, in
recent address before the National
Baptist Convention, spoke words of
truth and wisdom when he said
There is no human agency in this
country which has done more to help
the black boys and girls to rise than
the Southern white people. Look at
what the South has done for our peo-
n n in a no ct Ifsnn him a cd yaa~
1t has civilized 100000 of us. This
number has been lifted IN and this
is the work done by the white people
of the South. / am sure that there arc
some of you upon whose intellectual
stomach this does not sit we'll but it
is the truth, and the truth is what we
are after now. The black man ha,
worked to lift himself up and he has
been a success, l am sure, but then
it is nothing when compared with
what the Southern man has done for
us.
ut is the better class of the South
ern white men who have stood and
beat back the forces that would have
crushed the very life out of us. You
may talk about Galilee being the land
of miracles, but it is nothing when we
look at the South. This is the land
of miracles. Look at US. We were
brought here over three hundred
years ago to serve the white man.
There was no other object in bringing
here our parents, and today we are Cit
liens of this country.
THE South is the home of the negro.
and here he is going to stay and work
out his destiny. The time will come
when we will find more friends, if we
will only be industrious and honest.
Be something. We have no time to
stand around and complain, when the
young negroes are looking up to us.
In the name of God let us teach the
young boys and girls of our race to
love this country and let us all join in
helping to build it up"

RALEIGH SHOULD KEEP THE
SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL.

A great duty and a great opportun-
ity are presented to the city of Raj
eigh in raising. funds for the support
of the Agricultural & Mechanical Col
lege Summer School. The amount re-
quired should be subscribed in forty
eight hours. 1t should not be neces-
sary to carry around town a subscrip-
ton list. Let ten public spirited men
and women subscribe an hundred
each; others, smaller amounts, thus Sc
curing the fifteen hundred dollars
needed.
Few institutions have given more
pleasure, accomplished more good, or
contribute more to advertise the city
of Raleigh, than the A. & M. College
Summer School. 1t brought, trade to
the stores in the dullest season; re-
taxation, amusement and entertain
ment to our citizens during the mid
summer heat; visitors and friends to
Raleigh from all quarters of the State,
and from other States. It's value to
hundreds of teachers, especially rural
teachers has been beyond calculation.
So far the city has contributed moth
ing to the support of the Summer
Schools that have been held at the A.
6, NJ. College. Advertising space was
taken by our business men in the
Summer School prospectus to help pay
for It's printing and circulation, but
nothing was contributed to support the
school. The entire expense. of run
ming the school was met from other
sources, now on longer available. For
two years the burden of running the
Summer School has been borne by it's
faculty and managers, who have taken
all the risks and performed all the
iabOrs. They are willing again to un
dertake the labors sof running the
school, but they do not see how they
can make it a success with the means
available They do not ask help from
the CITY, nor from individual citizens.
They are prepared to close the school.
Will Raleigh permit this to be done?
Will Raleigh, which should be the seat
of a permanent teachers college, which
has already been the seat of the lar
gest Summer School, but one, ever held
in the South will Raleigh see that
Summer School close its doors for lack
of fifteen hundred dollars? We cam
not believe it. The duty and the OPP
portunity are great and urgent; all the
more so that the University is closing
its Summer School this year, and thus
very materially the OPP
portunities for improving our teach
ers by Summer School work. Raleigh
must raise this money and save the
school. She owes the duty to herself,
to the State, to the A. & NJ. College,
and to the teaching profession.

Vagrancy Law is Working.
va V,,;,, cytor nicnat0b

Hats off to the mayor of Raleigh.
He is losing no time in acting i'm ac-
cordance with the mandates of the
new vagrancy law and it has the APP
pearance that he intends to carry out
the law to the very letter. Whether
the men arrested in Raleigh are
gamblers or not the prosecution shows
that the mayor intends to get behind
that gentry, which the law includes
in the list of Migrants SO that they
may be reached when it is Well known
the nefarious calling they are pursu-
ing, but which it is impossible to
prove. 1t places the burden of proof
up to them.
Yet as bad as are the gamblers
there is another class that is by far
worse than they are and which should
be prosecuted with as much vigOr.
They are the men who live off the
earnings of their daughters or wives,
and we dare say that the Raleigh
mayor will be after them shortly if
that kind of cattle Craze in the Capt.
tai City. We wish him luck in that
direction.

the expenses of our courts to bear
should hail this news with delight.
The litigation that might have grown
out of the deplorable affair would
have remained on our court docket
for years to come, and while the cost
of a civil term Of court to the tax
payers of the county is insignificant
compared with the cost of a crimi-
nal term, yet civil terms are eXpen-
sive to those who must lose time in
attending them.
The Pages who own and operate
this road are to be commended for
bringing about these friendly adjust
ments. 1t shows remarkable ability
to deal with men, and desire to set
tie the differences with their fellow
men in a way satisfactory to all con-
cerned. Such men are seldom found
at the head of a railroad.

WILL STAY THERE FOREVER.


There is no need for controversy
either in North Carolina or Virginia
about the inscription on the monument
that will be placed on the Appomattox
Battlefield on Monday of next week.
1t is the truth of history, attested by
abundant evidence that cannot be re-
futed. tt has been chiselled in marble
on the monument and is there to stay
as permanent record of what North
Carolinians know is true. 1t makes
no mention of Virginia or any other
State-only and merely perpetuating
an historic truth. Nothing less would
do justice to the brave men whose
courage and bravery made their deeds
immortal.

Incredible blend of Pythagoras. who
found in abstract numbers the essence

John Sinclair who danced one evening

ingenious deductions from his figures

Mr. Atkinson 50 frequently figures as
a public-sp1rited protagonist of worthy

times such Yankee shrewdneSs in

HOW 1T LEADS THE STATE.

The News and Observer. not only
leads all North Carolina newspapers
daily and weekly-in circulation, but
it has almost twice as garge circulation
as any other daily printed in North
Carolina. Printers Ink of this month
gives the average daily circulation of
the Charlotte Observer-which has the
largest circulation of any daily except
The News and Observers 6,14S.
whereas The, News and Observer goes
daily to over 10000 people.
The circulation of The News and
Observer is not confined to any section
of the State, though Of course its larE-
est circulation is in the territory east
of Greensboro, but its circulation IS
large and steadily growing in every
county in Piedmont and Western
North Carolina.
Raleigh pays more second-class
postage than any other town of it's
size in the South and The News and
Observer alone pays more postage
than all other newspapers combined
printed at Raleigh.
There are plenty of good newspapers
in the several towns and cities of the
State that cover the county in which
they are published. but The News and
Observer is the only newspaper pub
lished in North Carolina that covers
the whole State in it's circulation.

The Tar Heel Club and Revenuers.
Windsor Ledger.

The recent Tar Heel Club reception
to Vice-P President Fairbanks had the
usual Republican outCome-violent
abuse of North Carolina and her peo-
pie. When Southern Republicans go
North, and especially to Washington
city, they are generally in the habit
of speaking i'll of their own section
to give them standing with their
Northern brethren. This is the first
time in our history, that a big social
function has been had, to give a reve-
nue. officer the chance to besmirch our
people. OF course it was a revenue
officer who did it; the head of the
system. The address of the Vice
President was in marked contrast
patriotic, dignified and brave, taking
it's color from the people of this great
State.
