"THE ASSOCIATED PRESS"

The Associated Press reports, pub
lished throughout the land, of Presi-
dent McKinley's assassination, last
days and death, were the wonder and
admiration of every reader. The AS
sociated Press gave to the world at
the cost of thirty thousands dollars
and it's correspondents health, the
first adequate account of the Mar
Unique disaster. Word of the death of
Pope Leo Kill, in spite of many bar
riers, reached New York in just nine
minutes, and San Francisco in just
eleven minutes, after the actual event.
How such results are accomplished.
something of the difficulties to be over
come hint of what correspondents
life must be. are some of the points
covered by Melville r. Stone in his
article in the July Century on 'The
Associated Press and its methods of
operation. Not the least interesting
feature of the story to most readers
this month will be Mr.. Stones &C
count of how national conventions are
reported and how campaign and cleo
ton news is gathered and dissemin-
ated.

"THE WAY WE DO IT."

On the trial of Rogers and Maroon
Saturday in the proceeding as for
contempt a part of the testimony of
Juror Maroon, who was approached
by Sorrell, was reported verbatim as
follows:
az asked him. said the witness,
'"'what right or authority he had to
come to me, knowing that | was a
juror.
ITO this question the juror stated
that Sorrell replied in substance that
we have to see jurors before they are
sworn in or else they'd be watched so
close you couldn't talk to him.
That was one of the most signifi-
cant. appealing, not to say enlighten-
ing bits of a mass of remarkable tes-
timony. 1t hints at a regular sub
rosa business with an established pro-
cedure. The profession seems to have
it's standard lines of effort we'll mark
cd Surely the words have a casual
ring about them that is disconcerting
AN cnnui of explanation of matters
that everybody ought to know. Doubt
less Mr.. Sorrell was surprised at the
hullabaloo that was raised. 1t is COM
fCrting to think however, that the
profession has received a setback in
Wake. How long has it existed and
what are it's other rules and regula-
tons?

CRAVEN's INCREASED WEALTH.

No section of North Carolina has
shown greater progress than New
Bern and the adjacent country. The
trucking season this year has been
most disappointing. but that section is
so rich and has so many resources
that one truck failure (the crops were
good but the prices slumped), cannot
give IL real setback. In an inter
esting article on the increase of wealth
in Craven county the New Bern Jour
nal gives some figures that speak

HOW EDUCATION HELPS TO sue
CESS.

Some of the most prosperous and
useful men in the country never
bumped their heads against a college
wall" as the saying goes Some of
them never even enjoyed a common
school education. But such men won
success because they were men OF
marked ability, proving the adage:
Lack of education cannot keep first
class man down, though it can help Il
second class man to climb" In an ar,
ticle in Sundays Atlanta Constitution
Rev. DR.. II. S. Bradley referred to the
fact that year or two ago one of our
college presidents made a careful
analysis of the names published i'll
who's Who in America" for the pur-
pose Of finding the proportion of the
uneducated, the common school grad
yates, the high school graduates and
the college graduates in the list of the
distinguished men and women Of
our country.
He found four things. said DR.. Brad
ley. who thus enumerates them:
FIRST nat an uneuuCdJeu CIIilu llGtS
one c'.dnce in 100000 of attaining dis
tinction,
"Second-That a common school
education increases his chances nearly
four times.
"Third-That high school training
increases the chances of the cOmmOh
school child twenty-three times, giving
him eighty-seven times the chance of
the uneduclted.
"Fourth-That a college education
increases the chances of the high
school graduate nine times, giving him
210 times the chance of the common
school ,hiI :, md more than 500 times
the chance of the unframed"
1t is because all parents understand
in a general way the truth of the above
statement that they are doing all in
their power to give their children the
best chance in life by giving them S1c
best education they can.

bear, so much the worse for them.
In that case the law can do little else
than take their declaration at it's face
value.
1t must be borne in mind that
tampering with a juryman is both a
criminal contempt and interference
with the process of d court of justice
The crime is a subject of indictment
so old that it is in the common law of
England, in large part still the basis
of the law of the State. The con-
tempt is a different matter. The
crime is punishable by a judgment on
the verdict of jury; the contempt Is
punished by the judge who finds both
the facts and the law. The crime
which may be punished regardless
of whether or not the judge has previ-
ously punished for contempt is call
cd "embracery." 1t is defined as fol-
lows
ga species of maintenance consist
ing i'm such practices as tend to affect
the administration of justice by I'M
properly working upon the minds OF
Jurors. ANY attempt by either party
to u suit, or by u stranger, to corrupt
or influence or instruct jury, or to
incline the jurors to be more favOra-
bic to one side than to the other, by
money. promises, letters. threats or
persuasions. except only by the
strength OF the evidence and the argG-
ments of counsel i'm open court at the
,:..I Of xx-IOn mo
give any verdict or not, and whether
tho verdict given be true or false"
Many States have special statutes
fixing a definite punishment for this
crime of embracery, but in North
Carolina it falls under Chapter IL of
the Code, which enacts such part of
the common law as is not repealed or
ton, into the law of the State. At
common law embracery, like most
other crimes not capital, was punish
cd by fine and imprisonment in the
discretion of the court, which, under
our Constitution, means any punish
ment the Court may see fit to inflict,
except it be manifestly cruel and un-
usual.
1t will be seen. therefore, from the
order of Judge Moore, that the re-
Spondents will have avoided the least
part of their danger when they have
served their sentences of thirty days.
Their further punishment will be al
most entirely in the hands of the Judge
who tries their case. If, by their con-
tinued silence, they assume entire
blame for the offense, they may expect
that the law-the dignity of which
they offended more than that of its
servant, the Courts strong to pun
ish. If, however. having suffered,
they put the law in a position to fer
ret out, from step to step upward in
the scale, the more guilty movers to-
wards the acts which have scandalized
county they will have done pub
lie service and can with good face look
to be forgiven of their own misdeeds.

NEEDING AND KNEADING BREAD

Now is the time to pay your sub,
scription.
1t is summer time in North Caro-
lima and an editor can manage to ex.
ist without as large a wardrobe as he
must have in the winter but the cost
of laundry work has increased enough
to make expenses about as high in
warm as in cold weather. Not Ions
ago a newspaper in North Dakota il,
the month of December published this
local item:
ut is reported that one of the faS-
tidious newly married ladies OF Har>
vcy. North Dakota, kneads bread with
her cloves on
The editor, calling attention to the
above paragraph, made the following
editorial comment:
THE incident may be somewhat pc
culiar, but there are others. The edi-
tor of this paper needs bread with
his shoes on-he needs bread with his
shirt on--he needs bread with his
pants on, and unless some of the de-
linquent subscribers of this old Rag
of Freedom pay up before long, he
will need bread without a d-n thing
on, and North Dakota is no Garden
of Eden in winter time.

(ErnerSon.)

AS soon as a stranger is introduced
into any company, one of the first
questions which all wish to have an
swered is, How does that man get his
living? And with reason. He is no
whole man until he knows how to earn
a blameless livelihood. Every man is
consumer and ought also to be a
producer. He fails to make his place
good in the world, unless he not only
pays his debt, but adds something to
the commonwealth.

WELCOME TO ROOSEVELT.

The President of the United States
will soon turn his face in the direction
of Raleigh, and will receive the well
come that is due to the incumbent and
his high office. We had hoped that a
North Carolina poet would voice the
welcome in stately verse, but it seems
that South Cardinals famous poet, Mr..
Aaron Mullens, hearing of the propos-
ed visit has dropped into poetry
and song of the fame of Mr.. Roose-
welt. His poem is entitled to Our
President" and from it these verses
are taken:
1--WE bemoan a chief assassinated in
But now hail a twice accepted One!
Our we'll esteemed Theodore Roose-
Velt
Whose care is in every bosom felt
I'm his arms held all secure
Hireling and slave fine safety sure,
The idle their hands employed
With Roosevelt no cause is void!'
He doth fully show and exercise
The duty of nations chief;
He demands mutual Raciality
And thus performs an able National
ity."
"a national unequaled by the East!
Unmeasured by scanty years of peace,
One whose powers are fully felt!
Governed by the rein of Theo. Roose-
velti"
ooh, Chief. Your crown doth laurels
declare!
But let subjects message cheer
If Aaron Mullins is allowed to cry
For Mr.. Roosevelt, he always apply"
This poem is given to the world by
the Columbia State, which has achiev-
ed fame for discovering poets who
have originality and individuality. In
telling its readers of this new poet the
State says:
1--WE are happy to inform our read
ers, however, that Aaron Mullins will
not cry" for Mr.. Roosevelt alone. He
tells us in a personal communication
that if VIC will publish his verses, III
promise myself a constant writer;
and in confirmation of his promise
signs himself yours for Business
Aaron Mullins Florence Poet" 1t is
well. A born poet of the kind of Aaron
Mullins owes it to his fellow-man that
he shall not cry for one alone, even If
that one be the Iheo. Roosevelt, who
governs with a single rein Aaron S
unequaled talents belong to that whole
'Raciality' of which he signs. We trust
that when he feels impelled to cry
for Mr. Roosevelt he may also cry,
just a little for us who have introduce
cd him to the publ"

WILL BOOKER LOSE HIS INFLU.
ENCE?

Some years ago there was criticism
because Booker Washington, while
urging his negro hearers to send their
children to Tuskeegee to his college,
sent his own daughter to a female
school in Massachusetts, and his critics
used that as an argument that he did
not give his daughter the sort of edu-
cation he advocated for other negro
women. The sequel of the criticism
above referred to is seen in the fol-
lowing dispatch printed in the New
York Sun:
"Haverhill, Mass, June 14.-MIss
Portia Nj. Washington, daughter of
Booker Il. Washington, was one of
the twenty-five young women who
were graduated from Bradford Acade-
my at commencement exercises held
this morning Miss Washington is the
first colored woman to receive di-
ploma from the institution, which is
one of the oldest seats of learning In
this country.
"She has been one of the most popu-
lar students at the academy In the
four years of her stay she TOOK
course in music and Will shortly go
father was one of the guests at the
graduating exercises today. Miss
Washington took part in the exercises,
playing piano solo.
Fred Douglass lost most of his in
auence with his race because he mar
ried a white wife. 1t has been pre-
dicted that Booker Washington will
do the same because he advocates in
dustrial education for his race and
sends his daughter to "a finishing
school" where she is the first negro
to graduate
The worst thing that could happen
would be for other negroes to demand
to follow Booker's example. IL he had
been as wise as he lis reputed to be he
would not have asked admission for
his daughter in Bradford Academy
We do not write of the course of the
authorities at Bradford opening the
door to colored pupils. That's wholly
a matter of taste-and there is no
law to prevent such schools in New
England if white parents wish mixed
schools The South only insists that
it's laws against mixed schools shall
stand and will fight the attempt to re-
ouire a mixed school in Berea College,
Kentucky.
Race separation in schools and IN
churches is coming to be recognized
in the North, even by those who do MOI
per Sc believe it necessary. But in the
North. there ere those who see it best
for the negro. Rev. Alexander Mann,
of Orange, n. j., rector of Christ Epls-
copal church. in which there arc thirty
negro communicates, and seventy ne
eroes in the Sunday school, recently
said: "3t
