Governor Glenn seems the man for
any occasion. He is much in demand
as Il speaker and accepts invitations
whenever other duties do not hinder
him. And when he speaks lie says
the right things at the right time in
the right place. Whether he speaks
North Or South, to white people Or
to colored people, he is equal to the
occasion. the man Of the hour. A
few days ago he delivered an address
at the commencement of Livingstone
college, Il large school at Salisbury
for colored people. In the audience
were many colored pre- achers who
occupied seats on the stage. Turn
ing to these preachers before conclud-
ing his address Governor Glenn gave
them these wise words to think over:
Il have not the power of divina-
ton and cannot tell the future of
your race. But if you will answer
my questions | can. Are your wo-
men pure and your men honest? Are
you Industrious? Then your race is
secure. And let me appeal to YOU
ministers to teach these things to
your young people and practice what
you preach. Don't deClaim against
impurity when you have half a dozen
wives scattered over the State Don't
preach against intemperance when
you have corn liquor breath that
would knock a man down. Preach
honesty, industry, morality and rev.
erence, not superstition. There is
something higher than mental
strength and that is moral beauty
of the soul This is what | preach to
everybody in the State. l believe in
education if it doesn't make fool OF
you. But if it paralyzes the fingers
and limbs you'd better not have it.
HE, haec, hoe are all right, but it
wins no bread, washes no dishes and
cultivates no farm. Some of you
preach some day to the boys and
girls who think the farm too low a
work for them, from this text, Cling
to the Farm.''
The Charlotte Observer CORES
pondent says most unusual de-
monstration followed these utter
ances, and that applause continued
for ten minutes after the governor
sat down.

Design'd Confed'rte Flag
Distinguished Visitor Of North Car
olina Attends Great Reunion Of
United Confederate Veterans IN
Richmond-Maj. o. R. Smith Of
Henderson, the Man Who De-
signed Me Confederate Flag.

Richmond, Va. June mo less a
parsonage than the designer of the
Confederate flag is attending the
United Confederate Veterans Reunion
here, in the person of Major o. r.
Smith of Henderson, n. c.
Major Smith was at the time of the
making of the design which was al
terward adopted by the Confederate
government a resident of Louisburg,
N. c., and on the 10Th day OF Febru-
ary, 1861, he completed the ensign
and raised it upon his flagstaff This
occurred some months before North
Carolina seeded from the Union.
All these years since the end of the
struggle Major Smith has modestly
spent about his business. He is now
baout the seventieth year, but active.
CONVENTION OF SMITHS.
The latest plan the Major has put
on foot is IL convention of all the
Smiths i'm this and other lands to
meet at the exposition at jamestown
on date in October, this year, to
be named in the press as soon as the
arrangements are compete.
The purpose of the meeting will be
manifold. First, it will be for the
drawing together of all of the name
for closer relation, and other things
OF that order, but the principal work
to come before the body of Smiths
assembled will be the naming of
A SOUTHERN MAN FOR PRESIDENT.
Aside from any joking Cts all sober
truth), the Major is fully aware that
the Democratic party is at sea as to
a candidate who has any show at
winning, and he feels sure that this
coming convention will be able to
name a man, whose name will be
Smith for the head of the ticket, and
from the South, who will be winner.

Sef-Help in Colleges.
Hundreds Of Young Men in North
Carolina Earning an Education
by Working Their Way Through
College Especially is this True
Of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College and the University.

Raleigh Evening Times.
Some OF the papers, notably the
Columbia State and the New York
Sun, have recently commented on and
commeded the practice Of working
ones way through college. Though
the practice is more common in the
North and East, as these papers
state, yet it is not foreign to the
South. In North Carolina there are
hundreds of young men earning an
education during the school term by
physical exertion.
At the Agricultural and Mechanical
College and at the State University
is this particularly the case. At
these institutions special effort is
made to help young men with small
means to earn their expenses. A
faculty committee on self-help makes
it a point to aid those who desire it
in securing work. Students wait on
the tables for their board, do type
writing, act as press correspondents,
help in the printing office, assist the
president, act as instructors in the
college, and in various ways earn
thousands of dollars every year
while pursuing their studies.
1t is to the credit of these institu-
tlOns too that a man is not handi-
capped by reason OF being poor
College communities are democratic
in fact. If a man be worthy, he is
accorded the same consideration
that is accorded his more favored
fellow. Merit is what counts and it is
often more rewarded at college than
the broader sphere Of life.
Every year better opportunities
for working ones way through col
lege are offered Not only in the
North and East but in the South, in
North Carolina, are young men earn
ing their way through college, and it
is an honor to the section or state
that this is the case.
