We attended the fair at Raj
eigh Thursday, and have come
to the conclusion that the follow
ing will be the best summary Of
th trip: Hurrying to the depot,
hgrrying to get a ticket. hurry
ing to wait for the train followed
by hurrying to get on before the
crowd gets all the seats, wishing
all the way on the trip that the
train would run faster so that
you could get there sooner, hur-
rying out of the union station al
Raleigh to catch a car for the
fair grounds, and hurrying Il
get on the car, and after you gel
in the fair grounds hurrying
here and yonder to see this OF
that for about one hour, and then
begins a repetition of the trip
you had going in the hurry to get
home. In other words, it Is hur.
~ from the time you get up un.
ill you return home and sit down
TO wish you had stayed home and
worked.

IT sounds rather funny to a
fellow that never attended any
thing but an old field school to
hear that the students in some
college are up in rebellion against
some action the faculty took re-
garding what should be the
proper thing to do around the
college. 1t may be smart in
these young men to attempt to
scare the faculty into allowing
them the privileges they want,
but we are sorry for the college
that has to consult the student
body regarding what they shall
do or have a strike.

These great educational institutions are
under the laws Of the states, and not under
those of the national government. They are
founded and supported for the most part by
the endowments of benefactors, who have
acquired these great fortunes which Mr..
Bonaparte indiscriminately condemns as
criminal His words are, therefore, calcu-
lated to do no good either from the stand
point Of educating the young or of benefit
ing the institution in whose interest his
speech is supposed to have been made. He
attacks all large fortunes Unfortunately,
whether honestly or dishonesty acquired
Future benefactors can no longer be CLASH
Ned as such when requests are made to our
educational and similar institutions In the
very making of such requests they furnish
evidence against themselves as criminals
guilty of amassing fortunes in excess of
what the public allows. and by whom they
are thus compelled to disgorge their i1l-got-
ten gains. In consequence the days of great
philanthropists and benefactors are gone.
In future our institutions educational and
charitable. will recoup their treasures from
the conscience fund supplied by such GRIM
lnals whose brains or industry have been
thus misapplied in acquiring fortunes in ex-
cess of their neighbors who have not been
SO guilty in displaying the same Industry
