Spelling a War Story.

There is certain war veteran m
Boston whom we viii call William
Brown. He has an honorable record
and is fond Of relating incidents of
the rebellion. He often tells how he
got a cut on the head from the sword
of a confederate cavalryman, There
is small bare place which he says
was the scar of this wound. Many
a time we who work In the same office
with him have heard this story
Brown has brother Charles who
came into the office the other day
to make call. BIZ was at his desk
writing when Charlie walked up be-
hind him and giving him slap on
the shoulder, said jocosely: well.
BIZ, see you still have that scar on
your head where Buffers dog bit you
when we were boys!" From that
time one Of Bill's war stories gets
little credence from us.

The White Voter Must Rea d and
Write.
Progressive Farmer.

1 rOPTtSSlEe dT1nPT.
The Constitutional Amendment of
1900 was a far-reaching measure.
That no white voter might be dis
qualified by reason of illiteracy, this
provided that for eight
years to come he must register and
vote under the grandfather clause,
and that when once registered under
that clause, he might remain regis
tered to the end of his days. The
end OF the eight years is now near at
hand. The last Legislature that will
sit within these eight years is now
i'll session. There has been some
speculation as to whether the time
would be extended or not But there
is no longer any doubt upon that
point. In caucus last week the
Democrats, controlling the Legis-
lature, after discussion. voted to let
the amendment, date and all stand
as they now are i'll the Constitution.
After one more year, the white man
who votes must prepare himself for
the high privilege OF voting by learn
ing to read and write. The time will
not be extended; he is face to face
to with an educational suffrage
qualification and must prepare him
self for it or accept the consequences.
| And this is we'll. With our present
educational facilities any white boy
worth his salt can learn to read and

The True Estimate of Great Men

New Bern Journal.
Today's estimate of men cannot be
II true one There is too much, local
". to disturb and distort. There is
the enthusiasm that will make a saint
OF Il sinner, or looked at from the
other side condemn man, blacken
character, ON superficial evidence.
The North and the South have Just
celebrated the birth days of two OF
its greatest patriots, citizens and
statesmen. That of Robert E. Lee
in January, of Abraham Lincoln in
February. Forty years ago very
different estimate was placed upon
the character of each of these great
Americans. In each section of the
country, there was the local recogni-
tiOn OF each man, his personal worth,
his national worth. Today there is
no sectional division in the estimates
of either Lee or Lincoln. The North
pays tribute to hegreat Southerner,
taking him at his true worth, as
much as those of the South. In
| Abraham Lincoln, the South recOg-
niZes the giant American of intellect
and heart, whose untimely death was
OF greater loss to the South than it
was to the North.
The Richmond 1imes-Dispatch, in
an editorial on Abraham Lincoln,
says, in part:
| But time has cleared the vision. We
now see Lincoln as he was, and we see
in him man OF giant intellect. but as
great in heart as in head; a patriot who
at any period of the struggle would
cheerfully have barred his breast, even to
the assassin S bullet upon assurance that
such a sacrifice would have saved the
Union.
We now helieve that Abraham Lincoln
never had an unkind feeling against the
spared her every drop of blood that was
shed. every heartache and every dollar
which the war cost her.
"Not that he loved Caesar less, but
that he loved Rome more
This mutual change on the part of
both North and South, to n candid
and common sense view of these two
great representatives of their re-
spective sections, but proves the
American sincerity, honesty and pa
triotism. The local difference may
spring up, but there is no section
when the American test is made The
dead and the living, each are honor
ed in memory and word, or applaud
ed and rewarded for the service giver
to their country. 1t is this whicl
keeps this Il Nation, great in it,

Value Of Jamestown Exposition to
Eastern Carolina.
New Bern Journal.

New DtfH JOuFEdl.
Less than ninety days and James
town Exposition will have opened its
doors, and this section of the United
States will be placed under the gaze
and scrutiny of the rest of this coun-
try, and in great part of the entire
world.
The jamestown Exposition will in
volve an expenditure of $S,O00,0 900.
During its progress there will be on
the magnificent sheet of water which
spreads out in front of theeXhibition
grounds one of the finest naval dis
plays ever seen in the new world. The
United States government has con-
tributed liberally to the funds and to
the exhibits, and almost every State
in the Union is to b. represented.
While the Exposition is in the State
of Virginia, it must in many ways
affect North Carolina, the entire
State. So far as Eastern Carolina is
concerned this jamestown Exposi-
ton is as vital as though it was in
this State. The city of Norfolk is in
Virginia, but to the great portion of
Eastern Carolina, it is their city,
notably in a business point of view,
and as a city whose commercial do
ings affect the trade interests of the
people of this section.
1t is this close trade relationship
that will make the exposition ofgreat
concern to this section. It's success
means added values to all of Eastern
Carolina. People who will visit the
Exposition from a distance, many
of them will both see and hear OF
this section, more specially SO since
the railroad developments are plac-
ing hitherto inaccessible PAGES
within easy travelling distance OF
Norfolk.
The jamestown Exposition to
Eastern Carolina is of very much
moment, and the people of this Sec
tion appreciate it to the extent OF
their ability, for they are poor, and
the millions of dollars which must be
spent to make the Exposition look
like immense sums. But in patriotic
interest and enthusiasm, the people
of this section will equal the Virgin
ians. They will attend the Exposi-
ton, and will talk for it and will
work for it's success to the extent OF
their best endeavors. Eastern Caro-
lima does not look upon the James
town Exposition, except as their
own, an affair that must receive their
full support and approval. And the
Exposition will get all this and more.

Some North Carolina
Cities.
Next Census Will Give Tar Heel
State Fine Showing Charlotte
May Have Population Of 50,-
600 With Several Other Towns
Of 10000 to $4,000.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record
"The next United States census will
give North Carolina a fine showing,
said an observant travelling man to
an Observant reporter in Charlotte
yesterday. This State has always
been represented as having an almost
altogether rural population, with no
cities, as, in fact, is the case now to
a great extent. But the next census,
in 1910, will give Charlotte n popu-
lation OF not less than 10000 and it
may be that there will be several
cities of 20, 600 to 30, 900 inhabitants
'The fact is that Charlotte is not
the only city that is thinking about
extension. There is strong and or
ganiZed movement for extension at
Raleigh, and q no less determined
movement at Newbern, which has been
making tremendous strides in pro-
gress during the last few years. Ex-
tension is also being agitated at
Greensboro, Winston-Salem. High
Point, Durham and other Tar Heel
cities, whose population would be in
creased several thousand by such ac-
tion. With Proximity and other
suburbs taken in Greensboro would
have a population of 10000. Win
ston-Salem has several suburbs, the
incorporation of which would give
her population of 30, 900 or more.
High Point could increase her popu-
lation by from 1000 to 5000. Dur
ham by Incorporating West and
East Durham and other suburbs,
would have between 25,00O and 30,
900 inhabitants. There is little agi-
tation at Wilmington, but the CITY
10y the Sea" could easily have &c, 900
by 1910 if she should take in the two
or three suburbs she has.
at is hardly probabley that any
city except Charlotte, and maybe
Raleigh and Newbern, will get its
limits extended at this term of the
Legislature, but the agitation now
will probably result in extension at
the 1909 term, so that the 1910 cen
sus will give North Carolina one city
of $4,000 inhabitants and half a
dozen or more with a population of
more than 25,OOO"
