DR.. Alderman Confoundod.
Lumberton Robesonian.l }


The recent Inauguration of DR.. Ed
win A. Alderman, distinguished
North Carolinian, as president OF the
University of Virginia, recalls an
amusing incident which occurred here
some years since, while the Doctor,
then Professor Alderman, was con-
Quoting an institute in this county.
The doctor was an ardent advocate Of
new methods, and especially new
books for the teaching of spelling.
The old blue back was to his modern
idea an antiquated affair, fit only TO
be relegated to the shades of some
museum. During the course of his
address he was pointing out the de-
fectS and disadvantages of the old blue
back and criticiSing the number of
words it contained not in daily use,
and the meaning of which would pro-
badly never be known to many Of the
teachers. Why SAID the DOCTOR II
suspect there are many words in it,
of which even some of our best teach
ers do NOT know the meaning. For
instance, geocentric; how many o. the
teachers present know the meaning Of
that word" No one responded, and
the Doctor, embOldened by the silence
again asked: Can any OF you tell
me the meaning Of Geocentric ?" A
modest lady teacher, sitting at some
distance from the speaker asked the
superintendent, Does he wish us to
answer" The superintendent replied
affirmatively, Whereupon the good Wo-
man gave the derivation of the word
from the Greek, and it's defination. The
look of amaZement on the face of the
Doctor was ludicrOuS to see, and he
proceeded to discuss other topics For
once in his life, he had underastimated
the intelligence of his audience

a Csc fn Mhich the NOW Prnsida.

A case in which the now President
Of the University of Virginia over-esti-
mated the effect that he had made
on one of his audience was told by
him to the writer. The occasion was
at Guilford Battle Ground a number
of years ago when his pre- eminence
as an orator was perhaps first general
ly recognized. AT the conclusion Of
the speech, the large crowd pushed
up to the stand eager in congratulation
and in the midst of the throng DR..
Alderman saw and recognized an old
pedagOg pushing valiantly towards the
stand. The fact of having SO deeply
moved the old man touched the speak
er and he reached far over to grasp
the out-stretched hand. The old man
pulled down the speakers head and.
standing on tip-toe, whispered hOarse-
ly in his ear-nOt the expected APP
probation of his eloquence--but these
significant words:
Say don't you think you could
work me in as Professor of Math. at
the University"

Alderman years later. but he had al
ways found it good to remember in

Feed Them Out of the Same Spoon


Greensboro Telegram.
There has been considerable criti-
cism of Judge Boyd for allowing Cas-
per to compromise some WhiSkey cases
by paying a fine, while others guilty
of the same offense were imprisoned
The News and Observer says feed them
out of the same spoon. This is a good
and wholesome doctrine, and one to
which we fully subscribe. But as we
understand the matter Judge Boyd's
hands were tied in the matter by those
"higiier up:" and he is not censurable.
While on the subject we would like
to say that the Federal Court is not
the only court or person, who fails to
treat all persons alike; who takes into
consideration the size of a mans pock-
ct or social standing before passing
judgment upon him. Are the little ne
groes throwing dice upon a back alley
the only gamblers we have III the State
of North Carolina? What is the differ
ence between a kleptomaniac and a
thief? Is not the main difference the
fact that one has money or sOcl Il po-
sition and the other has not? Are all
murderers treated with the same Sc
verity?N
Yes, let us feed all out OF the same
spoon but there will have to be a
mighty revolution in North Carolina
before we do SO. We shall be ready
to enter the millenmial era of the
world, when all men, the black and
the white, the rich and the poor, are
treated eually.

In company with Mr.. w. J. Ed
wards, chief promoter of the Atlantic
& Western Railway, we took a drive
over the extension of the road on
Wednesday of last week. The road
is now being graded between Jones'
boro and Broadway. Mr.. Edwards
put a force of hands to work grad
ing the proposed extension on the
18th of March and since that time
they have graded and put down the
cross ties on some three miles of
road. In doing this work they had
a number of cuts and fills to con-
tend with. Mr.. Edwards has twelve
horses and about one hundred hands
employed and his pay roll amounts
to about $1,000 per week. He eX
poets to put down the track and have
trains in operation over the three
miles of road in a few days. He
has 400 tons of steel rails, which cost
about $14, 900, ready for tracking the
road. 4 The Atlantic &,
Western, which has for some time
been in operation between Sanfrod
Jonesboro, has passed the expert
mental stage. During the month of
March the road handled 1000 passen-
gers and 40 cars of solid freight. The
road handles about half of Jones'
boro's freight. When the Broadway
extension is finished the road will
be about nine miles in length ami
will no doubt be one OF the best pay
ing short roads in the State. There
is considerable timber in the BrOal-
way section, and Mr.. Edwards says
his road will have some turpeGtine

tity of naval stores in the Broadway
section.-Sanford Express.

OPTIMISM STILL PREVAILS
Though Somewhat Irregular, the
Volume Of Trade for the Season

New York, July 1.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Though rejecting some irregularity,

the volume of di%stributiye trade is a
full one for the season, and industry
and manufacture show less than or
dinarily the effects of the approach of
the vacation period. Optimism as to
the fall outlook is the main subject of
notice, but it is to be noted that good
recorders for summer fabrics are still
active at some leading markets. Rela-
lively the best reports come from the
central west and southwest; the south
seems quite generally to hold the i'm
provement reported last week, conf
dence has increased in the Pacific coast

MISSOURI a NEWS.


A riot occurred at q ball game ct
Athletic park, Hannibal. In a free fight
caused by an lumpire's decision. n
man was badly cut in several places, a
boy had his hand nearly severed at the
wrist. while a dozen Others received
broken heads and other injuries from
clubs, bats, eac., in the hands of their
a~ssailants. An excursion train from
Highly brought the ball team and a
thousand visitors from that place. In
the seventh inning an alteration arose
between a Highly player and the UNI
pire, Carroll, oyer an adverse decision.
In a moment the diamond swarmed
with a mob eager to take sides with
the belligerents. The Highly followers.
armed with ball bats, stones and clubs.
charged the Hannibal men, and for
several moments the struggle waged,
the diamond swarming with fully 25t
fighting and cursing men, while the
air was alive with whirling bats, stones
and other missiles. During the battle
Frank Winters, of Hannibal, was set
upon, it is alleged, by a man named
Fielder and stabbed in the neck, chest
and other parts of his body. Winters
finally started to run. With blood
streaming from his many wounds, and
- -
pursued by Fielder, he ran until he
fell exhausted. At this j%uncture Of
ficers appeared and, drawing their re-
v~olvers, placed Fielder under arrest.
After repeatedly threatening to shoot,
the police succeeded in dispensing the
mob, after arresting several of the sup
posed leaders. Fielder was taken to
the police station in the patrol wagon,
but was afterward released on bail. In
me beginning of the fight a man named
Williams, marshal of Highly, drew his
revolver, ostensibly for the purpose OF
quelling the disturbance. He was,
however, arrested by a constable named
Roland, VINO m1Stook MIN Tor one OF
the participants in the row He was
afterward released upon his identity
being established. While running to gel
away from the mob, a young boy
named Gaitskill slipped and fell on 8
broken bottle, nearly severing his
right hand at the wrist. He was TAX
en- home, where a physician dressed
the wound. 1t is thought that amputa
ton will be necessary. Il
The attendance at the game was thu
largest of the year. The affair ha:
caused much excitement, and, it |:
feared, may put a stop to ball playin:
