General Assembly has accepted an
Invitation to be present and a spe-
cial train will carry the legislators at
ter the session of the day returning
that night.
Mr.. Wilson. while not born IN
North Carolina. spent his boyhood IN
Wilmington, where his father was
pastor of the Presbyterian church'
and was educated at Davidson Col
lege. where he graduated. Since
graduation there he pursued MS
studies at Johns Hopkins n Prince
ton. coming to the presidency OF
Princeton some years ago. having
prior to that time been Professor OF
Political Economy in that institution.
The thesis upon which Mr.. Wilson OBJ
tanned his degree at Johns Hopkins
was Government by Committee,
which has become a text book in all
the leading institutions of learning IN
the country. He is an author as well
as a scholar and writes much for the
reviews and is in demand as a speak
or at colleges and banquets. Some one
has said OF Mr.. Wilson: He Is more
tina the accomplished scholar, the
practical educator, he is a statesman
of breadth. depth, and exceptional sa-
s~acity."
Many public journals urged him
as the Democratic nominee for Pres
jdent in 1908 and he declined the ten
der Of the nomination for Governor
Of New Jersey. He is a Jefferson
Democrat, holding to the old-fashion-
ed belief in the separate functions of
State and Federal government and
standing against the dangerous CEN
tralization and imperialism that
threatens a Republic of the people
for the people. Elsewhere in today,s
paper will be found an extract from
one of Mr.. Wilson'S recent contribu-
tions that shows the character OF his
belief and teachings.

GEN. LEE UNDER THE SHADOW.

true of ON American soldiers. They
say that no man is a hero to his valet.
But d few have safely stood the test
of defeat. Of personal suffering. of
the common round. the daily task.
You must visit St. Peters again
rightly to estimate its colossal grand
eur. Nothing but the exquisite sym
metry Of General Lees physical and
spiritual proportions tended to OBJ
his greatness. And the invisi-
bic source of that greatness the world
is apt TO ignore.
! think ii modestly right and proper
to Illustrate by a personal experience.
Not long before his death. while ne
was seeking relief at the Hot Springs.

expectedly invited me there as one Of
his young e~X-chaplains. to conduct
religious services the next SUNDAY
IT was with some misgiving hat l de
nNered my message on the Spirit
helping our infirmities. While he ac-
compdnied me from the service he
asked why the sermon was aimed so
directly at him and then lamenting
his weakness as a Christian believer
hanked me for pointing him TO the
Only Comforter.

Eate discussion Of the best methods
OF teaching Il mother tongue. a re-
form which seemed to him 70 BE- the
necessary beginning OF educational
progress. In his great physical suf-
-fering he took the trouble to express
his deep concern for the stricken
South, his conviction of tho vital re-
lation Of the teachers vocation to It's
reconstruction and his desire for use-
ful service. The war hero was lost
in the unselfsh resident Of Washing

FACTS ARE

Senator Barri1ger, of Guilford, is
on the right line in requesting legisla-
tors to ascertain how many days of
the present allotment of Superior
Courts are used and how many are
needed. When the Information reaches
the GuiIf0rd senator ne will find that
about five counties are in real need
of more terms of courts. forty coun-
ties have what they need. and the
balance of the counties have more
DAYS of court than they need. There
fore the task of the General Assem-
bly, is TO find a way by such transfer
as is possible to provide enough courts
for Guilford and the other few
ties needing additional terms. This
can be lone without creating other
districts.

DO WE NEED ORPHAN ASY-
LCMS?

In recent years practical charity
has been most noticeable in generous
gifts TO build orphan asylums for the
care and education OF children.
twenty-five years ago there was only
one orphan asylum in the State-that
at Oxford established by the Masons
through the late Mr.. j. H. Mills. faith
er OF the orphanage work in North
Carolina. Since then eight orphan
ages have been built. The Methodists
are planning TO build a large one at
Ninston-Salem, and the Knights of
P%thias are seriously considering es-
tablishing one. These orphanages
haze done and are doing the Lords
eWn work, but are they doing in ev-
cry way the best work for the or
phans and do we need more in the
state?
That question is raised by reason
Of the thoughtful address delivered
BY Maj. Robert Bingham. OF Asheville,
at the Grand Lodge of Masons. Col.
bingham was Grand Master of Ma
sons when directors of the oxford Or
phan Asylum We're appointed TO man
age its affairs, and he was the man
who secured the Introduction of man
nal training in the oxford Orphan
Asylum. He has given much
study 10 the care Of orphans and the
management Of orphanages, and
vrh.p no Ct,,Ijcc n n,,aStinp Cnl p;rr
ham goes TO the very marrow OF it.
More than that, when he reaches a
conclusion he stand for it even if he
tands alone. He never makes a
speech without enforcing an idea and
doing so with all the authorities he
can produce.
Col Bingham believes tina the men
who are giving their live. to care for
the orphans are making a mistake in
sticking to the old idea of gathering
them into institutions. He believes
that orphanages ought rather to b.
used as camps, so to speak, where
orphans are cared for only until
homes an be obtained for them. and
that the efforts of those engaged in
the oiphanage work should be turned
almost entirely toWard hiding good
homes for them. He believes there
are plenty of good homes that would
be gladly opened for orphan children
and that a place in a good family
would be far better than training in
the best managed orphanages. Under
the present system, baby orphans and
orphans of very tender years cannot
be received, and these are the years
when the need to care for them is the
greatest. Under the system adopted
in Kentucky by the Grand Lodge OF
Masons ZONES are found for infants.
Indeed it is easier to get homes for
nfants than for larger children. !.
Since 1884, the KentHcFs Masons
have found hemesfo four thousand
chlfren who could not have beer
Sched at all by the Institutional sys-
<em.
