NORFOLK AND CHARLESTON.

Here is another of those Glove
taps" the Norfolk Virginian-Pilos is
wont to bestow upon Charleston by
way OF whacks at the News and Cou-
rier:
This thing OF criticising Norfolk
for being slow is rather unfair. The
boats have to come In that way or
they could not get in at all.-Charles-
ton News-Courier.
They slacken speed at the river en-
trance to avoid danger OF collision
with the hundreds OF craft plying to
and fro in channel deep enough to
submerge the spire OF St. Michaels but
not quite wide enough yet to accom-
modate the commerce OF the whole
world. The few craft that get to the
Charleston docks at all have to take
the bar under full head OF steam, in
a flying leap as it were, and many OF
them creep into port with broken
backs.

On Thanksgiving Day about Ia o'clock,
the death angel knocked at the door OF
the home of J. S. Norwood, and called
out his Oldest son, Joseph Morgan, from
this land OF trial and trouble to a land
OF happiness, where the sun never sets
and the flowers never fade"
While at school on Friday, Morgan
and some other boys were playing with
a rope; he became entangled in it and fell
on an old stump. The fall was thought
nothing of until Sunday when he began
to complain with his head and hack.
He grew steadily worse. A doctor was
called in Tuesday but it was to no av all.
He knew no rest till death came.
Our hearts go out in sympathy to the
loved ones. But we know it was God
who sent this silent messenger, and God
knows what is best for US all.
Morgan was a good and affectionate
son. He was the pet of his schoo
mates. and a fayorite with all who
knew him, and especially his teacher.
We shall all be called out some day
just as Morgan was. So let US make
ready and have our lamps all trimmed
bright. ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

THE population OF North Carolina
according to census figures just given
out from Washington is 2,2O6, 2S7,
as against 1,693,S1O in 1900. The
population OF Vance county is 49,
425. In 1900 it was 49, 1884. These
figures may be correct but we do not
believe it. There are people who be-
lieve that Henderson alone Gincluding
the suburban residences and factory
districts not inside OF the corpora
tion) has increased more than the
whole county is credited with-2,741.
But these are Government figures and
what are you going to do about it?

University Of North Carolina upon
it's victory in a debating contest with
boys from Pennsylvania University.
Today,,like fluctuations are extended
to Davidson College. On Monday
night it's debaters met the deba-

sent any telegram home at all they
had to use the immortal words OF the
vanquished: owe have met the

North Carolina has cause, abund-

ton OF Third Assistant Postmaster
General, the News and Observer says:
Mr.. Britt is esteemed by the people
OF Western North Carolina as a man

staunch advocate OF Statewide pro-
hibition, and his appointment is re-
garded as the best Mr.. Taft has made
in the State among Republicans. The
promotion of Mr.. Britt pleases his
friends and North Carolinians gener-
ally. 1t is gratifying to see ''home
man" thus recognized.

THE appointment OF J. j. Britt OF
Asheville, Third Assistant Postmas-
ter-General, is taken as an indication
that Mr.. E. C. Duncan has not lost
out In influence at Washington
whether be lost out at home or not.
Mr. Britt was a warm supporter OF
Mr.. Duncan in the craftsmanship fight
and it is but natural that Duncan
should stand by his friend. Mr.. Britt
was given a departmental place under
the government at Washington some
time ago and now he is promoted to
Third Assistant Postmaster General
to succeed A. L. Lawshe, resigned.
Another North Carolinian - Hon.
Kerr Craig, OF Salisbury-held this
position in Cleveland's administra-
ton. 1t is an important position
and it is said that Mr.. Britt obtained
it because he made good as attorney
in that department..

eREAT SOCIALIST MEETING.
over $4,000 Persons Hear seidel at
Chicago,

Chicago, June 10. = The greatest
crowd that ever attended a socialist
meeting in Chicago today greeted Emil
Seidel, the socialist mayor of Mil
waukee. 1t is estimated that there
were $4,000 persons, men, women and
children, at the gathering, which was
held in north side amusement park.
The meeting originally had been
called for the purpose of raising money
for the support of the socialist press in
Chicago, but resolved itself into an of
fetal opening of the socialist campaign
for the fall election. Several thousand
dollars were raised for the eight social
list newspapers published here in al
many different languages.
OF all the speeches, Mayor Seidel 7
was the mildest. The Chicago leaders
were bitter in their attacks upon promi
nent politicians of the old parties.
