A letter we publish elsewhere from
one of the students of the Agricultural.
and Mechanical college regarding Tie
dismissal of two of the students
for hazing hits the faculty a pretty
hard lick. The writer intimates
strongly that Waters vas sacrificed
to the demand that somebody should
be punished for the occurrence 1T q
time when the latter was in his room
and taking no part in the hazing for
which it was announced that he
was dismissed. While on the subjees
of. hazing at this college, we WOULD
like to know what action the faculty
has taken on the conduct of some of
the students which was SO brutal as to
cause two students to leave the ins.itu-
ton.

Alcohol From Sawdust.

United States Consul Halsted, al
Birmingham, Eng, reports to this
government that a German scientist
has invented a machine for making al
cohol from sawdust. The production
of alcohol from wood is no new idea.
but a simple. practicable machine tat
will utilize the waste from saw mills
is a boon. The m~ountaineers Of wes--
ern North Carolina have long held the
theory that emptying sawdust into
mountain streams killed the fish be-
cause the action of the water on the
sawdust produced wood alcohol. The
theory has been scoffed at. but it seems
there is something in it. If the alcohclI
manufacturing machine is introduced
into the mountain section the saw mil
men and the maker of moonshine SOW
paw may find that they have someth-
ing in common AS a trade oombina-I
ton it would be a winner.-Charlotte

THE WORD .REALIZE..,

Rev. p. r. Law, in The Robesonian,
finds fault with the improper use OF
the word realize by 20 many writers
and speakers. In restricting the word
to use as a commercial term he seems
to lose sight of the fact that in the
English language many words have
several distinct meanings aDd that
realize is one of them. Of the i'm
proper use Of this word he says:
There is one word which is so wide
" used in a sense contrary to its clas-
sic meaning we must turn aside n
call attention to it. We are Dersuad-
ed that editors and preachers as we'll
as other speakers use II incorrectly.
not because they are ignorant of it's
definition. but through sheer mad
v~ertence. The bad use CRATES on the
ears of the more scholarly and ought
to be arrested. 1t is the use of re-
alize for feel or some other kindred
word. Realize Is more correctly a
commercial term. It is employed
with strict when man is said
to have realized a certain profit from
a named investment. h large word
is substituted very generally by peo-
pie when they would say they feel in
one way or another. Its incorrect use
is noticeable in prayers When the in
tention is to say We feel that we are
unworthy it is aid instead we realize
that we are unworthy.
Webster's dictionary gives five diff
ferent meanings to the word REALIZE"
The second in the list he defines as:
ITO cause to seem real; to impress
upon the mind as actual; to feel wildly
or strongly; to make ones ownNin APP
prehension or experience" 1t quotes
such a writer as Sir William Hamil-
ton: 1--WE cannot realize it in thought,
that the object = y had really no
being at any past moment" The
fourth definition is: ITO gain, to get,
as to realize large profits from a spec
ulation."
The Century Dictionary and Cyclope-
dia gives the word seven definitions,
one of which is "To perceive or COM
prehend the reality of; to make real or
distinct to ones self; to recognize the
real nature or the actual existence Of;
as to realize the horrors of war; to re-
alize ones danger or ones deficiencies"
The last definition is: Ito obtain ready
money or profits by the sale of prop
erty."
SO it would seem that when the
preachers use the word in their prayers
in the sense complained of by Rev. Mr..
Law they have very good authority for
&c doing.

THE soUTH's SMALL FACTORIES.

No matter what kind of a nanufac-
turing plant is started at the south it
succeeds, is a rule To which there are
very few exceptions indeed. Success
is the general rule, whether ii be a heav-
lily capitalized cotton factory or a plant
on a small capital manufacturing some
apparently insignifcantIy article of
trade. Where there are brains n
energy at the head of the concern
there is III TO be success.
While big cotton mills are building
here and there in the south. this Sec
ton is being dotted all over with less
p~retentiOus manufacturing plants
which turn out various kinds of mer-
charitable articles. While these latter
do not make as much show Or attract
as great attention as do the large mills
for manufacturing the south's staple
they are of hardly less Importance to
our section of the country. They add
much to the prosperity of the smaller
towns and surrounding rural districts.
They furnisn remunerative employ
ment to hundreds of young men and
young women and increase the amount
of money in circulation in their imme-
date sections.
The building Of new factories of this
kind or the enlargement of existing
ones is almost a daily news item in
the papers. A noted instance of the
latter is the handkerchief factory in
Charlotte. On account of the great de-
mand for it's output the factory will be
enlarged so as to increase it's present
capacity of three hundred dozen hand
kerchiefs a day to six hundred dozen.
This factory began operations only last
January.
And thus, it is all over the south.
The old mills are humming and new
ones are building and going into opera
the necessary machinery can be Sc
cured. They are adding daily to
the wealth Of the south, are making
the whole section and her people more
independent Of the balance Of the
world. No longer is the south simply
q producer Of raw cotton for the bene-
fit of the New England and European
mills that they may grow rich selling
back to us Il cotton at big profits af-
ter it has been made into cloth. We
are making the cloth and keeping the
profits of it's manufacture at home,
and we are growing richer and richer
every day by the change.

Decision on Question OF Delivery CT
Liquor i'm Prohibition Territory.

The superior court now in session Is
grinding away on misdemeanors. p-in-
cipally for the violation CT the laws
against stealing, fighting. disorderi.
conduct and the prohibition law.
4 case which will become legally.
il not politically, historical, was that
OF Wesley Smith, tried and convicted
this morning for retailing. Solicitor
Brooks introduced one witness who
testified that he ave Smith 30 cents
as he was going 20 Winston and ask
ed him TO bring him Il quart OF whis-
key on his rsturn and paid him no.
thing further. The state then rested
its case. Colonel Baringer introduced
the defendant who testified that he &C
commodated the witness by taking mis-
money. That he paid 90 cents for The
quart OF liquor at Reynolds bar in
Winston and did not charge the wit
ness a cent for his trouble but gave the
u 10 him upon his return 10
Greensboro. This was the case.
Colonel Barringer made Il long argu-
ment on a request of the court TO
charge the jury that under the evidence
the defendant was not in law guilty Of
AcSii4AhS- JUG oDde LII hCu ttAdl
he was guilty of aiding and abetting
which principle was as old as the hills
Colonel Barringer replied that the SUI
Dreme court in a very recent decision
had expressly said that where the OBJ
tanning of liquor might have been I'M
lawful the defendant who acted fOl
another without reward, was moi an
agent Of the seller, but the buyer. That
the present case anne under the law
passed to override the supreme court
decision, but the law said the obtaining
had to be done unlawfully and illegal
~ whereas, Smith obtained the liquor
lawfully and legally, in a licensed bar
room in Winston.
Solicitor Brooks contended that the
Winston bar-keeper was indictabie for
selling the liquor, and besides the de-
PENDANT had not proved that the Wins
ton b~ar-keeper had a license to sell.
Judge Shaw charged the jury hat if
they believed the evidence defendant
was guilty. Colonel Barringer gave
notice of appeal and will take the case
to the supreme court. If it is the law
a great many good men here are Grim
inals without knowing it.-Greensboro

Opportunity for Young Men and Wo-
men to Get Federal Positions

According to Civil Service Comnis-
sioner Greene, there are two or three
hundred good federal jobs under him
due the south. for which there are an
insufficient numDer of applicants. He
thinks southern democrats do not ap-
ply for these places because they fear
they will be disseminated against
when the awards are made. Comment
ing on the matter Commissioner Greene
has said: Without a general partlci-
patton IN the competitive examinations
for positions in the classified service,
the intent OF the law as to the nOnpar-
tisan character of appointments cannot
be carried out. If however, there is
that general participation in the south
ern states, the Civil Service Commits
sion will undertake to see that appoint
ments in the classified service are made
without regard to the politics of aligi-
bles."
This is fairly and wisely spoken, and
there is no reason to doubt that Com
missioner Greene will do his best to
make his promise good. We are mo-
prepared to say just why the applicants
for these places are fewer in proportion
in the south than they are elsewhere
The great industrial awakening among
us doubtless has something to do with
it. The opportunities offered southern
men are SO numerous these days that
a business career is chosen in prefer
ence to Office holding. Seeing before
them the chance of more adequate re-
wards than salaries paid by the gov
eminent give, men who might other
wise be applicants for civil service ap7
DOintments turn their attention and
endeavors in other directions. L Isl
true, too, as Commissioner Greene
seems to suggest. that southern menI
presume their politics would make
against them in the service. Charges
to this effect have been made at times
but whether they were or were not
we'll founded in the past is not of sol
great consequence since assurance Isl
given that thera shall be no cause fori
complaint in The future. The places,
that the government has to offer a1eI
we'll worth the having. If so many of
them are to be allotted to the south,
it is desirable that the persons Dyi
whom they are filled should be credita
BILE representatives of this section, and
would be useless to deny that as a
genera thing, if the south is to bel
properly represented in the govern
ment service or anywhere else, it mustl
be represented by Observation-Disclosures
ton News and Courier.

A NEGRO
He Makes Money Out Of Prejudice
Against Men OF His Race Holding
Offices i'm the South.

"
A smart Mississippi negro has found
a way to turn the prejudice of whi,s-
men against his race to financial &C
count. The plan of this man, as re-
ported by the United States Civil Ser
vice Commissicn, is to take civil ger
vice examinations for clerkships in he
postofices OF various small cities. Up
on receiving an appointment he goes
TO the town, where of course he fads
an intense opposition among the whites
to his employment. He suavely bows 10
the will of his white neighbors, pro
tests hat he accepted the place under
a misunderstanding, and that he woul1
not think of trying to remain where
his presence would be offensive to the
superior race, but he has been put y
considerable expense, and can i'll afTcr1
10 lose he money OF course the
whites promptly make up a purse for
such a polite and considerate negro
and he goes on to another town To re-
peat the rick.-Exchange.

of the tariff during the next session
of congress. 1t says there is but one
man who can stir up the standpatters
in congress and that President Roose-
is the man; but it sizes him up in this
welt is the man; but it sizes him up in
this style:
But the president is a republican

is too good a politician to divide his
party on a mere question of economic
policy. He is not a Grover Cleveland.
He is not reformer enough to be a

Mr.. Rooevelt says that fifty thOus-
and dollar contribution to the republ:-
can campaign fund must be paid back
to the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. 1t will come in handy for the
company's use in the next national
campaign. The result of all this fuss
about the insurance companies and
other big corporations contributing 10
the republican campaign fund will
make them more cautious as to the
name in which the donations are
made next time. They will be more
apt to cover up their tracks in future
election years. That's about all this
racket will amount to.
