The Fraternal Feeling.
Durham Sun .

Durham sun.
The following article appeared in
an advertisement in the New York
World of Sunday 1t breathes most
fraternal spirit and argues we'll. 1t
was on the occasion OF Federal me-
mortal day:
Lincoln, Jefferson Davis. Lee,
Grant. Stonewall Jackson-such are
the men whose memory this Nation
will honor tomorrow. These and
their followers-for we stand, today,
a united Nation, with the last lines
OF distinction between the North and
the South completely obliterated by
a great patriotic spirit such as the
world has never known before.
Northern capital is developing
Southern industries; Southern brains
are developing Northern enterprises
such enterprises as have never been
conceived possible until now.
1--WE witness a President of the
United States defeating the statue
OF Northern General in a Southern
State: and we find on the silver plate
of II United States man-of-war the
portrait of the president of the South
ern Confederacy. Such scenes mean
a largeness of patriotic spirit that
cannot be shaken, a strength of love
OF country never before known as a
national characteristic.
1T is time to rejoice
Time has healed our wounds. We
are as a single man with "A spirit
OF forgiveness and national love
which must double our strength as a
nation in the eyes of the other gov
ernments of the world.
1t is indeed time for US to rejoice -

Double Tax For Failure to List.

The Machinery Act as passed by
the Legislature of 1909 makes it
obligatory on the chairman of the
board of county commissioners to
double tax all persons who fail to
list their property for taxation.
Section 70 reads: "The chairman
for the board of commissioners shall
examine the tax list from each town.
ship for the previous year and insert
in said list the description and valua-
ton OF all property not given in and
SHALL charge all such persons with
DOUBLE THE TAX which they would
otherwise be chargeable; and all per-
sons who own property and WILL
FULLY FAIL TO LIST 1T within
the time allowed before the list taker
or board of commissioners shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and on con-
Eviction thereof shall be fined not
more than fifty dollars or imprisoned
not more than thirty days, and it
shall be the duty of theboard ofcom-
missioners to present to the grand
jury the names of all such persons"
Property owners should take warn
ing and avoid being double taxed by
listing property promptly.

The Month that is Fatal to Morals.
Charlotte Chronicle .


This is the month in which more
false swearing is done than in any
other month of the year. 1t is the
mouth during which the people are
called upon to return their worldly
possessions. There are men
who, like for the newspapers to re-
cord the purchase by them of the
newest model XXX steamer. or tour
ing car, with the size of the check ex-
changed therefor, but who are not so
tOp-lOfty about it when they appear
before the ts,x-lister. There is a great
discrepancy in the value of some
lands returned to the lister from the
figures set by the owner to pros
pective purchaser of said lands. The
world is full OF people who feel rich
and want their neighbors to know it,
during eleven months Of the year,
but who always feel poorly Off tinan-
cially during the month appointed for
listing taxes. 1t is probably true
that from the first tax-listing day,
the rich man has had the advantage
over the poor man in the matter of
returning property for taxes. The
poor mans property is small and
visible Much of that of the rich man
is hard to get at unless he chooses
to disclose it. But the
dodger is by no means always the
man of wealth. The fact remains,
however, if all people, rich and poor,
would make an honest return of their
taxable property, the burden as a
whole would be lighter on the country
there would be more money iii the
public treasury and taxes would be
scaled down to figure where they
would not he dreaded Honesty
therefore, would stimulate honesty
But we had not started out to write
about the millennium.

A Sweet Spectacle.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle
1t is very much to the credit of
Booker Washington and to his
friends, Andrew Carnegie, Seth Low
and Francis Lynde Stetson, that
they refused to give aid or counte-
nance to the National Negro Con-
ference held in New York this week.
The head of the conference is Will
liam English Walling, a Socialist, and
in attendance, prOmiscuOuslv mixed
in loving fellowship, were 300 negro
men and women and white men and
women. The conference advocates
social equality and thinks inter-
marriage is not bad thing.
Along this line one of the speakers,
a woman, addressing the mixed as
sembly, gave voice to this sentiment:
If this mixture is so injurious, let us
address our arguments and appeals,
our warnings and rebukes to the
guilty party. the white men of the
South and the North The majority
of people care very little about race
mixture SO long as it keeps itself safe
from polite observation. 1t is only
when it seeks to shield itselfin honest
marriage, graced and upheld by the
moralities and amenities of the home,
that the sense of moral outrage is
abused. \ strange anomaly"
can honest marriage between a
negro man and a white woman, or a
white man and a negro woman,
"graced and upheld by the moralities
and amenities of the home," would
indeed prove happy spectacle, but
such Il marriage does not exist out
side the sentimental ideas of this con-
ference This is but a sample Of the
talk INDUCED in, and Bishop Wal
ters rather backed it up by declaring
that the negro is not inferior to the
white man. During the progress of
the conference Booker Washington
was rOundly abused for his refusal to
take part in It and this abuse of
Washington will make friends for
him among all the intelligent negroes
OF the South. 1t is conferences" of
this sort between the Northern negro
lovers that periodically break into

GOV. KITCHIN DID WELL.

Gov. kitchin might have appoint
ed another man but he could not
have appointed a better one than
James S. Manning-one who is adj
mittedly the equal if not the superior
in character and ability OF any man
whose name had been mentioned III
connection with the position he has
been called to fill. Any reference from
any source about paying political
debts is gratuitous and puerile.
If Mr.. Manning had been deficient
in character and legal learning, lack
ing experience at the bar and the
quality OF judicial temperament-if
he was untitled for the exalted sta
ton which was vacated by Judge
Connor-he would not have been ap-
pointed whatever may have been his
personal claims upon the Governor.
We know ". W. Kitchin, the man.

the Governor is but the man exalted
and honOred. The only change is
that he has grown stronger and bet
ter with ripper years and Increased
and knowledge and experience. He
is not to he swerved from the path OF
right and duty as he sees it by any
consideration.
But here is a man who squares up
to the full legal and moral stature OF
requirement lie is the peer of any
man who tried lances with him-full
panoplied and equipped any way
you take his measure. In addition
to this the element OF close personal
friendship-knOwing the man and
appreciating him at his true worth
aye, private obligation; political
debts to be paid, if you will-comes
IN. What was the reasonable course
under the circumstances? What would
yOU have done? What would any
man with a mans human nature, a
mans sense OF honor and love OF jus
tice have done?
Other things being equal one would
naturally incline toward his friend
And he would be less than man ii he
did not. Gov. kitchin did this-anC
he did right. 1t is creditable alike &c
his head and heart that he remem
bered his friend. We honor him fol
it.
In this day of dem; gogues, hypo
critics and self-seekers rue friendship
is too rare ii virtue. And try as they
may (if any there be so foolish as tC
try political capital cannot be made

BILE men who love truth and believe
in eternal right.
We do not say this i'll defense o
Gov. kitchin. He needs neither cham

it is in our mind to say it-anC
because further, we have an opinion
about some things we see and hea

Press Comments on MIR. Manning s
Appointment.
Durham Sun.

Durham Sun.
Associate Justice Manning is man
literally born for the law-for the
ermine, as his father before him. He
has judicial acunen that marvelously
blends with a wide grasp of all phases
and presidents of law, and a crystal
clearness OF conception and reason
ing that ignores persifage of words
and sophistry and arrives at the
merits of mooted cause with startling
dstinctness. His premises are sure;
his arguments terse and compreben-
sivr; his conclusions exact and in
evitable. Yet he is Il man full Of the
kindly, fragrant poetry of tender
ness. The sweetness of his life and
his personal associates tell that
story. IncOrruptible and efficient in
his dealing with men; sturdy and
conscientious in citizenship; hopeful
and helpful in his personal relations,
his elevation to the Supreme Court
bench carries up to that high tribunal
bright and shining lega. light,
and Durham is glad to know that
she is thus honored in honoring her
esteemed citizen.
Statesvlle Landmark.
Mr.. Manning is so years old, has
practiced law for 26 years and has
served in both branches of the Legis-
lature. He is an able lawyer. The
only criticism that can be made of
him, SO far as the Landmark knows,
is that as a member of the Legisla-
ture he was regarded as a friend OF
the tobacco trust and used his infiu-
ence to prevent the passage Of legis-
latiOn designed to reach the tobacco
trust; and the further fact that his
appointment is regarded as reward
for the management of Gov. Kitch-
ms campaign. So far as the Land
mark knows, however, he is as we'll
fitted for the job as anybody, and as
deserving.
Charlotte Chronicle
1t does not matter, as some may
suppose, that the appointment of
| Judge Manning to the Supreme Court
beuch was by way of reward The
fact remains that Judge Mannin g's
services were ably and faithfully
given, that he is fine lawyer, is in
every way qualified for the position
and that in selecting him, Governor
kltchin secured material that will
maintain the wel-known strength of
the Supreme Court bench of this
State.
| Raleigh Evening Times
Mr.. Manning is an able and dis
tinguished lawyer, and will make a
worthy successor to Judge Conner
on the Supreme Court bench. He has
| the confidence and esteem of the peo-
| pie. They believe in his ability and
in his integrity and while, OF course,
there are some disappointments that
some other man was not appointed
we believe the Governors selection
will be accepted as a very proper one.
| Durham Herald.
While they could have made it ap-
pear that Mr.. Kitchin was only pay
ing his political debts, the papers of
| the State seem to be satisfied that
Mr.. kitchin made a good appoint
ment in selecting Mr.. Manning.
| Monroe Journal
! Judge Manning is throughout the
State recognized as worthy. in all
points of ability and character, of

The Young Men of the South.
Richmond Times-Dispatch

Richmond Times Dispatch.
Mr.. F'inley's memorable words to
the young men of the University OF
North Carolina should be reprinted
in every newspaper and stamped
definitely upon every mind in the
South.
'In whatever career the young
man OF the South may select, he will
find opportunities at home among
his own people. He will not find it
necessary to 90 either to the North
or to the West. As times goes on he
will find these opportunities in in
creasing ABUNDANCE, for the economic
strength of the South, already great,
is constantly increasing.
"The wealth Of our section in nat
ural resources is being supplemented
by increased financial strength, and
Southern communities are becoming
better able to finance their own en-
terprises and less dependent OF out
side capital.
The South needs every one OF her
Young men. and who are faithful to
her she will beautifully reward"
Here is worthy text for sermons,
which should come passionately
enough from all who aspire to help
the South and, in their own narrow
circles, give their best to the gospel
of growth
There may have been a day when
it was wise for ambitious young men
to leave Southern homes and push
out into the West, but that day is
Enthusiastically and irrevocably over.
Two things make it possible to make
this statement so fiat-foOtedly. One
is the occupation of the West.
The era of free land is finally over
there, the great opportunities have
been covered and the young men are
pushing On into Canada at the rate
of 1000 a year The other is the
awakening of the South. No other
section OF country is developing so
rapidly, no section has such abound
ing untitled resources, none holds
out so splendid a promise to youth
and ambition and industry.
If there was ever & reason for the
depopulation of the South, irrepressi-
BILE processes have demolished it,.
Mr.. Finley's counsel is unanswerable.
The South asks nothing but the con-
fidence of her young men, and those
who give it ungrudgingly shall surely
have their reward.
