DIR. ALDERMAN IN RALEIGH
Eloquent Virginia Educator, North
Carolina Native. and Son of VIII
mingtOn Charms a Large Audience
With His Masterful and Inspiring
Address.
Especial to The Messenger.)


Raleigh, n. c., June 26.-Dr. Edwin
A. Alderman, president of the Univer-
sity of Virginia tonight charmed a
fine audience in an address at the
North Carolina summer school now in
progress in Raleigh. His theme was
a deeply wrought analysis Of past con-
conditions of his native land, with
stress on the service of this part of the
country to the national part thereof.
His initial words were to express
reverence for North Carolina in senti-
ment and actually. THAT birth and
life in this state have a constraining
power to make a man once a North
C~arolinian, a North Carolinian for
ever.
The home powers were depicted, and
the comparison drawn after other resi-
Dental privileges. In every word and
phrase turned there was demonstra-
ton of the pristine power of descrip-
ton and d~elineation. The lust for
home and the acknowledgment of a
sister states guerdon piled and inter-
piled them all in the discourse. This
was DR.. Alderman's first appearance in
six years before a North Carolina au-
dience, and his utterances were the
embodiment of spent endeayors in the
other south time. and the hope and
vigilant determination Of the new.

Pennsylvania Democrats Meet i'm Con-
ventiOn Today-E.mery Will Proba-
bly, be Named for Governor.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 28.-The DEM
ocratic convention which meets here
tomorrow TO nominate candidates for
governor, and other state officers, will
probably effect fusion with the Lincoln
party( Independent republican,, and
the prOhibitiionists, against the regu-
lar republican candidates. There are
two factions among the democrats
one favOring fusion with Il straightout
democrat TO head the ticket. and the
other favOring fusion with Lewis En-
cry, Jr., the Lincoln party candidate,
for governor.
State Senator Arthur G.. DeWail is
the candidate of the "straightout dem
ocrats" and has the endorsement Of
National Committeeman James VI.
Gufey, who is opposed to placing any
one but a democrat at the head OF a
fusion ticket.
A careful anvass of the situation to-
night indicates that Emery will prob
ably be nominated. The sentiment has
been running in favor Of Emery all
day. and his friends claim he will ca--
ry the convention. DeWall's cause has
been weakened by the absence Of Colo
mel Guffey, who is regarded as his
nos formidable supporter, and II is
not known definitely il he will come at
all. The make up of the remainder of
the ticket win depend largely upon the
result OF the contest for governor.

Washington. June 26.-The pork
barrel. as the so-called omnibus pub
lie building bill is generally called.
was rolled into the house today bv
Nd. Dalzel1. of Pennsylvania, who re-
ported a broad and comprehensive rule
for its consideration.
Mr.. Bartholdt, of Missouri. chairman
OF the committee on public building
and grounds, said the bill represented
the painstaking, intelligent labor OF
many months. He said that more
han five hundred bills, carrying up
wards OF $685. OO. 600, had been referred
TO the committee, and each of these
bills was considered on its merits. Out
OF this mass of public building bills
has come the present omnibus building
bill, which carries in round numbers
S21. 600. 600.
The claims of all the country have
been impartially considered said Mr..
Bartholdt, and this comprehensive
bill is a result of the months of earn
. ~ spent upon It's preparation.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. of New York, in a
semi-serious way, but with c~onsidera-
bic feeling. said that it was futile 10
delay Or defeat the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Fitzgerald likened the house TO
a school just closing, and following the
universal practice throughout the
country, at commencement time, this
great school is about to distribute its
premiums" he said.
This BILL" Mr.. Fitzgerald said.
illustrates as we'll as anything | have
ever seen the truth Of the statement of
the coercive power of plumber"
Il know, Mr.. Speaker, that there is
no power in heaven or on earth that
will stop the p~assageof this BILL" re-
marked Mr.. Fitzgerald. which state
ment was greeted with applause.
Il have no desire to stop it; | would
not deprive so many members of the
pleasure they anticipate. but | think
it proper to protest against a method
of legislation which prevents the mem
bers Of this house from exercising
their rights as members, and giving TO
those items in which they are particu-
larly interested the anne scrutiny and
the same watchful care that have been
given to other items in appropriation
bills in which their districts are not
interested.
Now, inasmuch as | have had an
opportunity simply to express my con-
domination of this method of appropri-
ating great sums for any public pur-
pose, | am content. I Know it is fu-
tile. The unanimity, not Z say the
enthusiasm with which this bill has
been brought into the house, and is be-
ing urged to its passage, is the best ev-
idence that the committee has at least,
in the distribution of the money,
been enabled to please a great MAORI
ty of the house. prolonged applause.)
The bill was then put upon its pas
sage and amid loud applause the
speaker, in an hour from the time the
rule was reported, announced that the
seal of the house has been put upon
the measure. and it was started on its
way to the other side of the capitol.

Mr." George Strickland, a prominent
farmer, who lives about four miles

river bridge by a passing train yester-

He was a prosperous farmer, a good
man, and was well thought of by every

No one saw him when struck, but
he was found at the end of the bridge
dead late yesterday afternoon by two
small boys, so it is supposed he at
tempted to cross the bridge and was
overtaken by a train.-Wilson Times.
