TOURED THE SOUTH
Harvard Students Passed
Through Raleigh on
Their Return.

A party of ten from Harvard Uni
versity passed through Raleigh yes
terday morning, the students being on
their return to their Northern homes
after tour of the South. This South
ern trip is the part of a certain course
in the regular studies at Harvard, and
a company of these Northern college
youths tour the South every year.
Among the States visited on this
trip were: Virginia West Virginia,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Georgia, and Alabama. They
spent considerable time in the larger
cities of the South, studying the eco
nomic phases of the Southern city life.
They were especially interested in the
labor conditions of this section, and
the natural resources and advantages
which may not be developed to their
utmost directly because of the lack
of labor. They found Atlanta to be a
miniature New York city. There were
the hum and rush of a large city'S
multiplicity of industries; the noise
of large crowds of people; the smoke
from the large manufactures and
railroads; and the real city look of
business interest on the countenanceS
of it's citizens. Birmingham, Ala, also
delighted the party, and the students
dustry Of iron ore mining and steel
manufacturing of the South. OF course
close attention was paid to the coal
and copper industries at the same
time.
Several days We're spent in the Wes
tern part of North Carolina and the
students were loud in their praises of
our westernland. North Carolina re-
ceived as happy compliments from
these boys, and made as permanent
and useful impression upon them as
any other Southern State
The object of this tour was to learn
the resources of the. South, and to
study the existing ecop9mic conditions
of this section. 1t is a training course
and has in view the possible sending
of moneyed men, young Northern and
Western capitalists to the South to
further the work of developing it, and
turning TO account the countless thou
sands of talents that are lying hidden
and as they are, useless.
Mr. G. II. White, a native of North
Carolina, and graduate of the State
University, was conductor of the par
ty. He was accompanied by Prof.
c. H. Boynton, of Harvard.

KNEW BLACKSTONE
Circus AttaChe Refused
to Give His Own
Name.

A man was brought to the State
penitentiary yesterday who apparently
understood Blackstone when he was
tried. In fact he seemed to be an apt
student of law.
He was convicted at the last term
of Halifax court at Weldon for break
ing into a saloon and stealing Whis-
key. When detected, arrested and
tried, he gave his name as John
Doe and to the annoyance of the au-
thorites, ne would submit no other
name as his own. They told him that
he had given a false name, and he
laughed, but declined to give any
other He was convicted and sem
fenced to the penitentiary for twelve
months.
Doe" is a morphine and opium
fiend, and when imprisoned at Weldon
the physicians were obliged to give
him these drugs, or else he would
have died.
He is a circus attache, and was left
behind in Halifax county by the last
big aggregation of humbuggers that
passed through that section sof the
State. He was almost a physical
wreck and was said to be incapable
of work.

He voted for the dog law, which the
Republicans talk so much about. Now,
we are not opposed TO this law. but
Mr.. Hartman aided in its passage, so il
there is any merit in it, his party
should give him his part of the credit
for its passage.
Senator Hartman opposed the grant
ing of Railroad Charters TO new COM
panies desiring to enter the great coal
fields OF Buchanan, Dickinson and
Wise counties. Senator Bruce was
active for these bills, and wanted these
charters passed, and thus develop these
great counties, and thought he would
have the aid OF Senator Hartman In
this great fight for the people OF that
section. But Senator Hartman appear
ed before the committee against these
new charters, and the committee re-
fused to report the bills. But Senator
Bruce made his appeal to the floor OF
the Senate, reversed the committee
and passed both bills. When the
committee rejected the bills Senator
Hartman immediately left for home,
and, it is said went into Buchanan
county in the land business. He subse-
quently said that his opposition to the
new charters was due to a conference
with Messrs Stevens and others, gener-
al managers Of the present roads in
this section, who were opposed To the
opening OF any other roads in this sec
ton. The people Of this section will
not soon forget Mr.. Harman's course
in this matter.
He voted also for special hog law
for Tazewell county, and we are not
opposed TO that, but If there is no de-
merit in it, then Mr.. Hartman should
all the blame for this act, because ii
was a local measure and could not
have passed but for him.
These are some OF the measures.
