ROUGH ON VARDAMAN.

Yankee ingenuity is just now re-
sponsible for a Mississippi sensation
that must be peculiarly embarrassing
to Governor Vardaman, he who hates
''nigger" only less than he does MI.
Roosevelt. Governor Vardeman has
spoken, written and lived consistently
at any rate He made his campaign
on an issue against negro education,
incidentally roasting the President to
a turn on his negro policy, was duly
elected and has had the good taste not
to turn about from abuse to fawning
when success came to the friend OF
Booker Washington. The way the
sensation arose was that the Text BOOK
Commission which Governor Varda-
man created with the announced pur-
pose of securing only such books Tor
the schools as were free from mis-
representation of the South and the
poison of negro equality, has adopted
an arithmetic which is the worst ever.
While the books will be stricken from
the list and other selections made, the
mistake must be a disheartening one
/
to the Governor.
Naturally no one looked for section
al bias in an arithmetic. Histories
were carefully scanned for lnaccura-
cies and the READERS were subjected
to searching examination. 1t now ap-
pears. however, that even examples in
addition and multiplication may be
made the vehicles for SANDER ana
abuse. Many of the examples in the
arithmetic in question, which Is that
of Stone and Southwick, are stated TO
be of harmful sectional character.
For instance:
eff there are five hundred and ten
children in a school, and three hun
dred of them are white, how many
colored children are there?" Like ex-
amples are numerous.
When 1t is recalled that the Text
errors pet projects, and that he APP
pointed it's members personally. the
facts will be seen almost to put him in
to disgrace with himself. Important "a
the matter is, there cannot be re-
strained smile that this should have
happened to Vardaman. 1t shows the
old need. however, of Southern books
in the schools before there can be
hope of justice. Who in the world
would ever have expected to run UP
with social equality in an arithmetic
That is the most innocent sort of wooo
pile i'm which "nigger" has yet beer
discovered. Yet as long as the tex
books are written by folks Of the Bos-
ton cult" it may be expected that the

CrisesSin Lives That Call
For Quick Action.
Mr.. S. P. Kirksey Writes OF One Such
in His Life and Warns Men

There are crises in life that call for

Gated in the following letter from Mr..
S. p. Kirksey:

March 8, 1897, without any hope of
recovery at all. l was so near dead
that / did not think there was any
chance for me to get We'll; but I had
not been at the institute long before
/ commenced to improve, and at the
end of a month / was well, stout and
sober; and / returned home a new
man, and it has now been seven years
since / took the cure, and / have never
wanted or tasted Whiskey since. They
cured me of the habit and | am glad
to testify to it. My advice to all who
are victims to the Whiskey habit is to go
to the Keeley Institute at Greensboro,
N. c., just as quickly as steam can
take you there, for it will rid you of
all desire for strong drink, and make
a new man of you as we'll as gentle
man
81 will tell you something else about
the institute and it's officials. They
were all so good and kind to me while
/ was under their treatment that /
feel bound to tell it. I never will for
get their kindness, for they gave me
everything | wanted to eat and Whis-
key every time | asked for it.
Now, my friends, if you ever intend
to quit drinking go to the Kelley In
stitute at once. Do not wait until to-
morrow, for you might be too late.
The Kelley Institute cannot be praised
too highly.
Respectfully yours,

I noticed in Tuesdays paper that /
am accused of misrepresentlng the ball
game played by the Highfield boys of
this county. and the Edith nine of
Catawba county. I reported the game
as it was given in by the Longford
boys, and they say that the umpire Of
the game acknowledged at Catawba
the same evening that the game be-
longed to the Longford boys. So If
there is any Misrepresentation in the
business they (the Highfield boys) are
the ones for your Edith correspondents
to look to for redress of his griev-
ances. The Highfield boys say they
will stand behind what they have
said. l hope this will ease the pains
of all interested. I have nothlng but
good will and best wishes for both
mines. and hope some time in the near
future I may have the pleasure of see
ing both teams united with the South

THE "REBATEs" OF THE LAW.

A business man who is a former
preacher and still an acceptable mem
Der of the church, recently said that
the world in it's business relations had
to be considered wholly in the light of
the times; that for the man in bust
ness to attempt anything else would
be to run headlong into a stone wall.
'In my own case look at what |
am compelled to do" he said. i live
in c, and am in business there. am in
competition with men who have never
had the least sense of scrupulousness.
| discovered that man who was by
all odds my closest and most dam
generous competitor was getting re-
bate on all goods shipped to him ovef
Carolina railroad which was
sufficient to i've him an ad-
vantage over me that the closest
business economy on my side without
rebate couldn't overcome. What did
do? / knew 1 could not prove the
rebate in court and / felt that a fight
on it would accomplish nothing, SO
am getting the same rebate myself,
not because / want to violate a law,
but because 1 am compelled to do SO
! in order to make a living"
There is, commercially speaking, no
questioning the sound position of this
preacher business man. 1t was re-
bate or failure.
This leads up to the question
which every rising young lawyer
who is to be in compete
ton with modern legal cuisines"
methods as they seem to exist in some
parts of North Carolina today, in light
of partial developments, in Ne J.
Rowan Rogers and j. P. Sorrell, and
other we'll known cases of recent date,
(not all of them in Wake county,
must ask himself: What kind of bus
mess am / going into? What sort of
men am l to fight at the bar? What
must l do and how far must l go
(from a straight line) in getting jury
in order to win in my profession
Must /, like the preacher-busineSs
man, get the rebate myself? In plain
words is it not my duty to myself,
recognizing conditions as they are, in
order to get clients, and to win out.
to meet rebate with rebate? What
show does honesty, industry and legal
learning have single handed against
legal rebates known to the old lawyer
as "embracery In short is not the
fine art, jury fixing, a necessary ele-
ment in the legal equipment of the
up to date lawyer who hopes to sue
coed"
These are questions which are of
peculiar appropriateness in view of the
meeting of the State Bar Association
now in progress at Toxaway. They in
dictate a trend of thought which must
inevitably be followed to gronter or
less length by younger lawyers as the
occurances making them pertinent in
crease or decrease in frequency. The
honorable members of the profession
can do a great service to the State
and help sustain the fine traditions OF
the law by taking some positive action
in this regard at their present meet

BALL PLAYER DECAPITATED.
Frank Bowling, of La Grande, Meets
Horrible Death Under Train.

Frank Bowling, an expert baseball
player, who had been imported from
Salt Lake by the La Grande team to
play in the games on the Fourth, was
decapitated by an o. r. & N. pas
senger train near Hot Lake Saturday
night while wandering on the track
with delirium tremens.
Bowling had gone to the Hot Lake
sanitarium to sober up for the games
and it is supposed had started to
walk to La Grande. The east bound
passenger train No. 2, was speeding
along about 40 miles an hour be-
tween Hot Lake and La Grande, when
Dowling suddenly appeared on the
track in an apparently dazed condi-
tion and was run over before the
train could be stopped. He was en-
tirely decapitated, his head not hav-
ing been found yet when the coro-
ner's inquest was held yesterday
morning.

Once more the check forging fad
has commenced in this city, and Sat
urday evening five local saloons were
caught TO rthe sum of 1880 each.
The bogus work was done by a man
who had been employed as a brick
layer by Contractor Dan MAY for a
day and half past. The checks were
signed with Mr.. Mays name and were
drawn upon the First National Bank.
The five saloons where the checks
were taken are Fred Schneider's,
Baker & Garrison, Morgan & Bogart's,
CHARLES Helms and John Schmidt's.
Besides the above places the forger
also tried unsuccessfully to have
checks cashed at several business
houses during the evening. But al
though those who refused to cash
them say they did so because they re-
garded the checks as forgeries, none
seemed to have that conviction strong
enough to make it known to the of
Ulcers. Consequently, it was not un-
til afternoon that anything reached
the sheriffs office of the matter. A
careful search was then made of the
town, but 1t failed to reveal the
versatile bricklayer, and 1t is now the
belief of the officers that he left town
on one of the trains Saturday night,
probably the IL o'clock west-bound
passenger.
He is described as being about 25
years of age, about feet 10 inches in
height. weighing about 100 pounds
smooth shaven, with dark brown hair
and a medium complexion. He was
wearing a daTk-colored suit. The
name in whose favor the checks were
made is regarded as fictitious one.
