cancies in the faculty and offices
OF the college.
Mr.. Chas. B. Campbell was cleo
ted to succeed the late DR.. Thomas
C. Bittle as head of the department
of modern languages, with the
rank of associate professor. Mr..
Campbell has been an instructor
in this department during the last
three years and has been in charge
of the department since DR.. Bittle's
death in October. Mr.. Campbell
did his undergraduate work at De-
paw University, Greencastle, Ind,
from which institution he took his
bachelors degree IN 1900. He
spent the next two years as a high
school teacher, and then pursued
his studies in his chosen field, the
modern Languages, in the Univer-
sity OF Chicago. He came TO the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col.
lege in $, ptember, 1903, and his
promotion TO the head of the de-
partment comes as the rewvrd OF
proven merit.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Bittle was chaplain of the college
as we'll as professor Of modern Ian
guages, and his death left the col
lege community without a chap
lain. To fill this very important
place the board has selected Rev.
Nathan Powell, pastor of the Meth.
odist Church of BRENNAN. Beside
his ministerial duties, DR.. Powell
will fill the vacancy in the depart
ment of modern languages created
by the promotion of MIR. Campbell,
and will have the rank Of associate
professor. He has been notified
of his election by telephone and
has agreed to accept the position
DR.. Powell is native Texan,
having been reared near Mexia in
! Limestone county. He received
his early education in the public
schools Of the county and at the
| old Tehuacana College. Here he
began the study OF the German
language, a study which he kept
up consistently throughout his en-
tire college course. Leaving Te-
huacana College, DIR. Powell went
TO Vanderbilt University where he
took the A. b. degree. He next
entered the divinity school at Yale
University, from which he re-
ceived the degree of bachelor OF
divinity. He then spent a year at
the University Goetingen, Ger
many, devoting himself to the
study of theology and the German
language. Returning to Texas,
DR.. Powell entered the Texas con-
ference of the Methodist Church,
and. after successful three years
pastorate at Richmond, he was sta
toned at Brennan by the last an.
nual conference. In writing Of
him. Rev. John Il Nelson, tinan-
cial agent Of the Southwestern
University, at Georgetown. said:
"He is student and thinker.
His moral character is OF the finest
fiber. Being a preacher AS we'll as
a scholar, he would have fine in-
fluence over your student body,
aud would be a living link between
the college and the Christian con

SCHOONER JOB III. JACKSON
Was Appraised Yesterday and Value
of Vessel and Cargo Was Placed at
S5,91O.

The board of survey appointed few
days since to appraise the schooner
Job H. Jackson on yesterday carried
out the duty imposed on them The
members of the board were Messrs.
James Sprunt, A. S. Heide, and Martin
S Willard. They placed the valuation
Of the vessel at s2,250 and the cargo at
So, $3.50. Cargo consists of 336, ,O00 feet or
lumber and the valuation was placed at
$40 per thousand.
The vessel is owned by John Nav
and Son ct al, which firm is represented
by Messrs. John D. Bellamy and Son.
1t will be remembered that the
schooner Job H. Jackson was disa bled
and deserted at sea in the storm which
swept the North Carolina coast dur
ing September She was picked up by
the steamer Merrimac of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company
and towed off the bar and later was
carried into Southport harbor and then
brought to Wilmington, and now lies
off of Point Peter. A libel suit was IN
stituted by the above named company
for reasonable salvage. It is very
probable that bond will be given today
and the vessel released.

There is possibility Of there being
some trouble about the landing of i'm
migrants from the Wittekind when she
reaches Charleston. Government Of
fcials of the immigration bureau are
going to look very closely into their
right to land. There seems to be an
impression that some of them are COM
ing over in violation of the contract
labor law 1t is said there are a num-
ber Of European girls now at work in
cotton mills in this state who were
brought over under contract in viola
ton Of the law. The government otfici-
ais think there are a number of immi-
grants who will come under the same
head and who will have to be re-
fused admittance.

Bob Taylor says the campaign in
Tennessee is "as cold and stiff as
dead Polar bear on an iceberg, as SOL
emn as Baalams ass and as void Of
enthusiasm as Jonah in the whales
belly" Those Tennessee fellows must
have been taking lessons in politics
from their North Carolina neighbors,
especially those in this section of the
state. Things are pretty lukewarm in
these diggins, but we are glad to see
that Chairman Bellamy is doing every
thing in his power to put some ginger
in the campaign and to induce the dem
ocrats to turn out in full force on elec-
ton day. If hard work will bring them
out Mr.. Bellamy will show good results.
He has entered upon the arduous duties
of his Office with zeal and determina-
ton to bring out the full vote of the
party if such thing be possible Here
is good luck and complete success to
him.

Majority Claimed for Hearst.

The managers of w. r. Hearst's in
dependence League were prophesying
at the Gilsey House this morning that
Mr.. Hearst would carry the State by a
plurality Of at least 5000. The In
dependence. Leagues managers base
their figures On reports that were fur
nished them by the leagues upstate
organizers, who met at the Gilsey
House last night. These upstate or
ganizers are confident that Mr.. Hughes
will come down to the Bronx with a
plurality no greater than $4,000, and
they told the local leaders that Hearst
would assuredly carry Jefferson, Cat
taragus and Chatauqua counties. The
local leaders say they are equally con-
fdent that Hearst will roll up in the
city plurality of from 10000 to 1885,

HEARST AND STANDARD OIL
Use Same Means to Accomplish Their
Purposes.

Ten or twelve years ago when Mr..
Hearst decided to turn New York up
side down with a yellow newspaper he
bought the old Advertiser and threw
it aside with it's one hundred employ
es simply because he wanted the name
and the press franchise. The editor
Of the Richmond News Leader at that
time was one of the Advertiser staff
He went out in a hurry, jobless. The
experience was no doubt biting, but
he said nothing. Yesterday, however,
the News Leader told the story of the
downfall showing just how Mr..
Hearst had crushed out enterprise He
did exactly, as Standard Oil would have
done. Since then he has attacked in
dustrial concerns for doing the same
sort of thing All of which shows
that Hearst is just an ordinary hypo-
critic. little bit worse than the aver
age type.-Raleigh Times.

British Steamship Arrives in Port and
Two SchOoners Clear.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUES.

The citizens of New Bern have Or
ganized law and order league. That
is good. idea. There ought to DE
one in every southern town, especially
where there are many vagrant negroes
who live by pilfering and preying upon
the white people. 1t should be the
duty Of every such league to see that
the vagrancy law is enforced in every
town. One here could render much aid
to the police in getting recruits for the
gang which is building good roads in
this county.
We should say that such an associ-
alton would do much good in Durham,
where there is SO much violation OF
the prohibition law The papers give
an account of the arrest Of six persons
in one afternoon charged with selling
whiskey. One Of the parties is a widow
who is quite wealthy and another is a
we'll to do business man Of the town
The woman, who comes from a respect
able Granville county family, was ar
rested in her own residence, and two
servants were taken into custody at the
same time. If all reports be true there
is more illegal sale of whiskey N
Durham than any town in the state
Surely a law and order league there
would help in the breaking up of this
illicit traffic

The answer was filed yesterday in
the suit brought by T. NJ. Thompson,
of Southport, to regain a portion of the
land on which Fort Caswell is located
Plaintiff claims about 800 acres of
land and the suit was brought against
Major NJ. F. Harmon, who was IN
command at the time suit was insti-
tuted. Owing to this fact Major Har-
mon came here to file the answer in
the suit as the representative Of the
United States government. He went TO
Fort Caswell several days ago and
came to the city yesterday and filed
the answer. Should the United States
lose the case the land, of course, would
be condemned and purchased.'
1t is alleged in the answer that the
United States purchased what is known
as Oak island, on which Fort Caswell is
located, in the year 1925, and that with
the exception of during the civil war
has been in possession Of the same
The answer sets forth that the property
by P. X. Dickinson, John VanCleef and
N. c. VanCleef. It furthermore gives
the names of those who owned the
land prior to the time the government
purchased it. 1t seems that in 1916,
John Cause, high sheriff of Brunswick
county, transferred the property to
Hanson Kelly, who, in May, 1919,
transferred it to Gen. Edward B. Dud-
ley, Gabriel Holmes, Jr., and Richard
Lloyd. Next transfer was to Platt K.
Dickson, on May Sth, 1920, and then
the transfer to the United States gov
ernment.
In addition to claiming to have a
good title to the property, the statute
of limitation will be plead as bar to
recovery.
Fort Caswell is one of the most
important forts on the south Atlantic
coast and the government has spent
enormous sums Of money there. The
case will probably be tried here at the
next term of court
