It is stated the bonds have practically been placed, and after the vote has been canvassed immediate steps will be taken to commence the inn provements designated in the call for the election held today.

 The federal judiciary, my dear friends, to my mind is the strongest bulwark that we have in all this country to protect ul- timately our institutions of civil liberty and those are the things in the federal constitution that we must love and must hug to our bosoms if we are to continue this civilization
 And there Is no more sacred duty that the executive has than the selection of men whose appointment and service on the bench will strengthen it with all the people at large. Ordinary considerations of political partisanship have much less application to the. appointment of judges than they do to other and temporary of fees.
 "I think not that we are at a point where there is to be political revolution in the south. l never had such dream. But l believe we are on the eve of such a condition in the south that there shall be complete tolerance of opinion, and that there shall grow into respectabl power an opposition in each state which shall tend to the betterment of the government as | 1t exists in the state which shall give ns | locally, as you have already given us in North Carolina. a republican crowd of democrats in order that we may have represented in Congress at Washington your views without regard to some past | issue, without regard to the ghost of an issue that really ought not to influence you in inforcing these particular economic views that you really entertain
 'I hope you will forgive me for an ap- parent reference to political conditions when I am really only extending to you the right hand of fellowship as Amer 1 jeans explaining possibly by inference some of the difficulties of conducting this government as it's chief executive"

''I plead to my republican friends as vndication and justification for my course, the course of as orthodox a re- publican as ever filled the executive chair, and man than whom there never was a President did so much to maintain the standard of the federal judiciary as Ben jamin Harrison, for he deemed 1t his duty to put a democrat on the supreme bench and two circuit courts of appeal

Address to Negroes.

AuuFeSS 10 Ne9FoeS.
 To the eolored students at Riddle uni versity the President said in part:
 ''I am not oblivious to the troublous times through which your fathers and mothers have passed, or the burdens and possible cruelties which circumstances have made it necessary for you to bear. But thank God that those things are passing away and the proper place for you to look is forward and not back ward There is growing over the entire south a feeling due to economic coldi- tions that you will be a necessity for the prosperity of the south if you will only do what you ought to do to make your race happy You can Hdemonstrate to the white men of the south by making yourselves members of the community that it is as much to their interest to treat you well as it is to your interest to have them treat you well.
 One of the most satisfactory develop ments of the last ten years is the interest that your southern white neighbor is taking In Your welfare, your education, and your profit. It is easy for us of the north to crticse both sides and to express sympathy and hope that things are coming out all right, but the place where the thing is to be done is here, where you live and therefore it is with the whites who are your neighbors that

We are catching up Now. l am not going to give you to understand that I don't know the bur den of a race feeling, and that oftentimes there is an agonized moment when the negro feels that the whole world is against him. The way to meet it is to face 1t; is to recognize it. go on and do your duty; live and labor, and be pros porous in spite of it."
 The President rdiculed the idea that the two races cannot live amicaby in the same country and that the only way to solve the problem is to send the ne groes out of the country.
 'The time is coming in my judgment, he went on, when the business men ol the south are going to recognize much more fully than they do today the great advantage the south has in your pres ence on the soil. Your race is adapted to be race of farmers, first, last ant all the time You are going to do more than you ever have done in that direc tion as a result of the education whci the industrial schools are giving you
