New Bern Sun.
The assertion that North Carolina
leads in the treatment of her colored
citizens will not be questioned. Prof.
E. W. Houstoun, cOlored "a professor
in the State Normal School OF Elizi-
beth City, who has been in New Bern
for Il day or two, says the future will
see two peoples living side by side,
united in everything of a business
nature, and separated in everything
of II social nature. Among other
things Professor Houstoun says:
"Along the general line of progress.
is is pleasing to see the colored peo-
pie building homes, for this is an in
dication that they realize that the
South is the best place for the negro.
and that he is here to stay, and that
since he is here to stay, "a cordial
feeling between the Races will help
very mnch. North Carolina has re-
Gently shown herselffavorably to the
negro. For instance when she appro.
priated $1,000 to have her colored
citizens show what they had done at
the jamestown exposition, and when
she appropriated $4,000 to the
three state colored normal schools,
the colored people were made to feel
glad and the outlook was made much
brighter thereby. These things tell
US in tones louder than thunder that
we are surrounded by friends, that VT
have their best wishes, and that we
can be content, pursuing the even
tenor Of our way towards making
ourselves worthy citizens.
I'm speaking before che normal
school at Elizabeth Clsy recently. the
superintendent of state colored nor.
NAL schools said that North Caro-.
lima expects returns from every dol
lar invested in the education Of her
colored citizens. This is what we are
doing ut Elizabeth City. In our work
there, we strive to send out honest,
thrifty, and industrious men and
women. We teach them to he honest
and truthful, we teach them to be
economical, and we teach them to
work.
t'Ali clouds Of misunderstanding
all mists of uneasiness, all fog of bit
terness, are gradually being driven
away by the sun Of peace and har
mony. and the future will view two
peoples living side by side. united in
everything of a business nature and
separated in everything OF social
nature"

BETTER THAN POLITICS.

Good roads are better than politics,
wisely says the Americas Times-Re-
corder.
The county that constructs good roads
cannot be held back. The very improve
ment of its highways assures its con-
tinued development. Good roads are
not only an inspiration to other coun-
ties, but, what is more important, they
are an inspiration to every man iE the
county where they are constructed. .
They put new life, new determination,
new ambition into him. He speedily
gets better horses and better wagons
and better stock in all lines. His farm
takes on a better look, his home wears
a newer and brighter aspect. No man
wants to live on good road and have q
dilapidated, run down, unkempt-look-
ing place for passers-by to see. Good
roads mean enthusiasm at home, the
place where freqently it is most needed

HOW TO TREAT CANDIDATES.

Editor Hilton, of Dublin, printed the
following:
"Why should we get mad with our
friends and neighbors when they differ
with us as to candidates or issues? The
candidates for whom we make enemies
DO not care thrip for us in a week af-
ter they get office, and the issues by
which we lay so much store to-day may
be dead and forgotten a month from
now.
1T is right and healthy to take inter-
est in politics, but it is we'll to let your
activity be confined to working for your
friends and the principles in which you
believe, and refrain from attacking the
personality of those who do not take the
same view that you do"

CAPITAL SCARY.

Capital is scsry. Threaten it with
drastic laws, confiscatory taxes and too
much strangulation, and it will flee to
cover. Assure capitalists that their
investments will be protected, whether
in factories, mines, electric lines or
steam railroads, and they become bold
and venturesome. Conservatism is
needed, with Justice, wisdom and
moderation" as the guiding principles,
to give Georgia all the capital she
needs, and the enterprises and indus
tries now shut down will reopen and
trade and business will revive, and good
wages and profits will once again be
restored.
1t is said to be out of the question to
induce capitalists to invest money to
build the electric car line from Mari
eta to Lost Mountain, Macland, Pow
der Springs and Austell. They are
afraid Of the policy that fights foreign
capitalists from owning railroads in
Georgia. If Joe Brown is elected, it is
thought confidence will be restored and
capitalists can be ind uced to take hold
of this important enterprise and build

SMITH WAS FOR BROWN.

Hon. Eb. T. Williams, of Atlanta, in
a speech at Dallas, Ga, last Friday, said !:
Governor Smith had stated to Mr..
Brown before he was candidate for
governor, that he would like to be gov
ernor for one hour, to appoint him rail-
road commissioner that after Governor
Terrell appointed Mr.. Brown, he con-
graduated Governor Terrell as having
made the best appointment of his ad-
ministration. His authority for this is
Mr.. Browns own statement and also
that OF Governor Terrell, and Mr.. Smith
would not deny it,"

A FIVE YEAR PRoHIBITIoNlsT.

During Governor Smiths speech at
Rome last Saturday, the Rome Tribune
Herald tells of this incident:
Gust at this point, M-.J. o. Winfrey,
native of Floyd county and we'll
known veteran, arose and said: Gov
ernor, may ask you one civil and hon
est question: Upon receiving permits
sion, he said: Governor, are you a
prohibitionist?' The Governor did not
answer yes or no, but said: I am in
favor of maintaining the present law in
Georgia for at least five years, except
for such amendments as friends of the
law-such as Mr.. Wright here-might
make. This answer did not seem to
satisfy Mr.. Winfrey, who is staunch
prohibitionist, and he said: Well, then,
Twill address another question to you
and Mr.. Wright: In the Bible it
says Here the Governor inter-
rupted him by saying: L cannot take
time to let you make speech, and re-
sumed the thread of his disfranchise-
ment argument.
According to this argument, Governor
Smith agrees to let the present law
stand for Give years" only.
Now, what prohibitionist is willing to
compromise his principles to vote for
five-year prohibitionist?
Can you limit righteousness Isn't
it best and right to keep whisky away
longer than five years?

SEEK TO CORNER

Pittsburg, Nov. 21.-Details of the
plan of T. Il. Barnsdall of Pittsburg
and others to pipe natural gas from

have just been learned and they show

In fact, it comprehends little short

state.
Not only Is gas to be furnished to

other cities and towns along the line
between that city and Oklahoma City.
This explains the willingness of those
back of the the project to expend in
the neighborhood of fifteen million
dollars in constructing the long line
and in remodeling the gaspipe system

Fire Ladies' Would Have
City Equip Gymnasium

The members of the fire depart
ment headquarters located at the city
building, want a gymnasium. A few
years ago an attempt was made to
fit up gymnasium in the attic but
the distance from the first floor OF
the building was SO great and the
means of access so limited. that the
place had to be abandoned for the
welfare of the department. The boys
want some place of amusement and
entertainment and one that would pro-
vide facilities for athletics is desired
in particular. 1t is a matter of fact
that athletic training would improve
the physical condition and efficiency
of the men.
The "laddies" have everything fig
ured out how they can make use OF
the attic for gymnasium purposes, ii
the board of public works will give
permission and stand the cost of ex
pense. At present a sliding pole ex
tends from the bed rooms above the
wagon room to the ground floor. 1t is
proposed to cut hole in the floor

above and place an extension to the
pole, so that a means for rapid de-
scent from the attic may be secured.
The members of the department de-
clare they will do all the work neces-
sary to make the change if the board
will authorize it and bear the expense.
To have to hurry through halls and
down three flights of stairs to reach
the wagons from the attic in case OF
alarm is altogether impracticable and
such would have to be done under
present conditions.
The members of the department
have no way to keep in physical trim
such as their work in fire fighting re-
quires. They want gymnasium bad

ing would be demonstrated by their

theirs as they have no place for the
purpose of exercising and the regu.
lations will not permit their absence
from the house to a place where this
