Governor Glenn Does Right to Speak
Often to The People.
WaXhaw Enterprise.


1t seems that in recent years speech
making has become one of the most
important functions Of the Governor
Of North Carolina. Governor AycOck
found that the demands upon him for
making speeches was a very heavy tax
on his time, but if he ever complained
about it no one has ever heard of it,.
Governor Glenn is an exceedingly pop
ular speaker and it is already appar-
ent that the demands upon him in this
capacity are going to be very great.
Much of his time for the next few
weeks will be taken up in travelling
over tho State making addresses at
college commandments. school clos
ings, educational rallies and the like.
Some people have been heard to say
that this practice is not in keeping
with the dignity of tho high office of
Governor 1t must be remembered,
however that many men are too digni-
fed to be any account to themselves
or anybody else. The fellow who is al
ways so careful of his dignity seldom
ever has any to spare. 1t is all right
and proper for the Governor to move
about freely among the people and get
acquainted with them and. their needs
Nothing is lost to him or to the State
by his doing So He is the peoples
Governor and they want to see him
and hear him speak. When the Gov
ernor becomes thoroughly acquainted
With the people and the people in turn
become better acquainted with him.
the result will be a better understand
ing and stronger bonds of sympathy
between him and them. There is no
danger that the Governor will forget
to depOrt himself always as becomes
one in his exalted position.

Now a Case of Holding the Fort

Now Case of Holding the Fort.
Lumberton Argus
Virginia certainly has no right to
complain if it is true that this State
was first at Bethel, farthest at
Gettysburg, and last at AppomattoX. :"
If the inscription is not true, North
Carolina should have no desire to
perpetuate the error. But if true
then nothing should cause the inscrip-
ton to be erased. Let it be erased
now and the truth of the inscription
will never be acknowledged. Vir-
ginia would as well give up her title
to being "the mother of presidents"
or the home of the first permanent
English colony as for North Carolina
to deny herself the glory of her
achievements. The truth is the prop
er criterion and Virginia is no impair
tial judge in this case. This State has
been ignored by historians long
enough and principally because it has
not set forth its claims. Let the in
scription remain, else deny that it is
true. Virginia might get her feelings
hurt next because North Carolina
made two declarations of independ-
ence before Virginia made any. 1t
has passed the stage where the matter
of taste is to be discussed. 1t is now
a case of holding the fort.

Not the Spirit Of the Peerless Lee.


Some of the Virginia Camps of Con-
federate veterans have taken action to
the effect that they will not attend the
unveiling of the North Carolina mon
ument at Appomattox next Monday.
They object to the inscription, First
at Bethel, farthest to the front at
Gettysburg and Chickamauga, last at
Appomattox," which they say is a re-
Election upon other Southern States. 1t
is to be regretted that they should feel
this way about the matter, for nothing
could be further from the purpose of
the Old North State than to give
needless offense to any of her sisters.
But truth is truth and history ought to
speak the truth. Virginia has glori-
Gus history. from which we would not
detract one iota, and it is painful to
see a spirit of littleness manifested by
some of her veterans in this matter.

But it were better to leave the Truth

to North Carolina and place 1t in
Capitol Square, by the side of Our

is taken, it will not be the means #

Can Have History, Too.

If the amount the monument cost
and the money to be spent in going to
see it unveiled had been put in the
right kind of history for school chill
dren, it would learn an hundred fold
more people that North Carolina was
last at Appomattox than to have it in
scribed on a rock in an out-of-the-way
place on Virginia soil.

reputation by taking Offense at the
claims on the Appomattox monument
nor will their absence throw a damper
on the unwilling ceremonies on the
tenth of April, but it is painful to see
such a spirit of bigotry and narrow

Does it detract one iota from Vir-

AN APPROXIMATION EDITION"

Tomorrow a goodly company of
North Carolinians will gather on the
battlefield of Appomattox and dedi-
cate with appropriate exercises the
monument to the North Carolina Con-
federate soldiers who made the last
charge in the great War Between the
States. Quite number have already
gone so as to go over the battlefield
today-the anniversary of the battle
which was on Sunday. A large party
will leave this afternoon The largest
company will go on the special train
over the Norfolk & Western Railway,
which will leave Durham Monday
morning at 6 o'clock and return the
same night.
This will be one of the most inn
portant historical events in the history
of the State. On Tuesday morning the
News and Observer will issue a special
"Appomattox Edition." illustrated,
containing articles from patriotic SOL
diers who were engaged in the last
charge at Appomattox and from the
pens of other gifted Confederates who
are competent to write of the deeds
performed there by the North Carolina
troops. This paper. like the Gettys-
burg Edition issued in 1902, will be a
valuable contribution to the most glor-
ous era in the history of North Caro-
lima.

ENORMOUS GROWTH
In IMMIGRATION

New York, Aug. 24.-And still they
come! Notwithstanding the fact that
the European governments do not fa-
vor emigration and are trying their
best to make it as difficult as possiI
BILE and in spite of the fact that the
American authorities keep a sharp
lookout to prevent undesirable for
eigners from slipping into the coun-
try, the immigration is increasing at
an enormous rate.
The number of immigrants which
ended during the fiscal year which
ended June 80, was 1,027,421, an in
crease of 25 per cent over last year
and 20 per cent more than in 1908.
The rate of exclusion was somewhat
higher, being 1868 against S,769 in
1908.
The greatest increase was in the
number of immigrants from Russia.
This is owing partly TO the war with
Japan, the inner disturbances in Rus
sia and the constant persecution of
the Jews in many parts of the en-
pire The class of immigrants com
lug from Russia is not very desirable,
but more so than a large percentage
of the immigrants coming from GER
tain parts of southern Europe.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 24.-The
personality OF President Roosevelt be-
comes larger and larger in the present
crisis. He stands between the warning
countries insisting that the peace
conference shall not fail. The strength
of the presidents position is that he
commands the confidence of both
sides. He already has accomplished
much good in impressing each side
with the necessity of mutual conces-
sion, and both sides have yielded
great deal to his persuasion.
Only a single point separates them,
but it is as it has been from the be-
ginning President Roosevelt's COM
promise proposition, which Baron
Komura formally presented at yester-
days meeting, and in which Japan
agreed entirely to withdraw artlcles
ten and eleven, the surrender or In
termed warships and limitation OF Rus
sia's naval force in the east, and TO
substitute for articles five and nine,
cession of Sakhalin and indemnity, a
number of articles providing for an
arrangement by which Japan should
get legal title to the southern half
of Sakhalin, which she possessed be-
IOTe LIlb lT6dIN II 100, NhAAS lNuooAN
should redeem u repair her title to
the northern half of the island for

Russia offered to pay literally for
the maintenance of Russian prisoners
in Japan. Her cession of the Chinese
Eastern railroad also will place a tidy
sum in the Japanese excheGuer. Fur
ther than that, Mr.. Witte has as yet
no instructions; but the president did
not surrender. He tried his appeal
for peace to the. czar. Ambassador
Meyers had three hours of audience
with Emepror Nicholas, which may
have proved a deciding factor.

The response which Ambassador
Meyer received from Emepror Nicho-
las is already in President Roosevelt S

Silver Coins
ARE STAMPED AND EDGES MILLED

Philadelphia, Aug. PA million
pennies a day-that is the capacity of
a strange machine which Uncle Sam
uses in the Philadelphia mint to count
the coin of smallest value made by the
government. The machine is known
as a counting table.
The counting board is about as
large as a big kneading board, such
as housewives use. The surface of it
Is wide enough to hold a row of forty
pennies. When the pennies are to be
counted, several thousand are heaped
upon the board, which is placed above
a hopper.
Then an operator tips the board
backward and forward and sideways,
so that the pennies slide about. and
finally settle in the grooves made by
the brass partition strips. When the
board is full, there are 1000 pennies
on 1t. 1t is then dumped into a recep-
tacle just outside the hopper and the
pennies which have slipped off the
board into the hopper are caught by a
box underneath.
Pennies are coined out at the Phila.
delphia mint, and the government
