Fayetteville. n. C.-The interest that
the Afro-American folk living in towns

this state are manifesting in educa-
tional, missionary, commercial and ag-
ricultural activities is due to the en-
ergy of such men as DR.. L. Z. Smith

the part of the Afro-Americans in this

He is one of the leading graduates
of Shaw university and has the well
earned degree of Phi. ID. Graduating
a Baptist minister during the year
1870. Being a man of exceptional
qualities. his work in the ministry has
been a potent factor in harnessing the
energies of his congregation and direct

Realizing the task and the necessary

sTOLYPlN QUITS Posi-
REsENTs COUNCILS ACTION IN
REJECTION OF BILL.
Minister of Finance kokovsoff Is Sc.
:scted by Emperor to Succeed to
Premiership.

St. Petersburg Nicholas
promptly accepted the resignation of
P. A. Stolypin, premier and minister
of interior, and has named V. N. Ko-
kovsoff, minister of finance, to sue
coed him.
Premier Stolypin presented his res
ignation personally to the emperor.
His action was due to the rejection by
the council of the empire of the
Zemstvo bill for government in
the nine western provinces. The Sc
lection OF M. Kokovsoff was made by
the emperor on M. Stolypin's recon-
mendation after his majesty had ex-
hausted all means to persuade the
latter to retain his post. The reac-
tionary groups, which plotted Stoly-
pins fall, thus get small satisfaction.
The present crisis, like that in 1909,
when the question of the reorganiza-
ton of the Russian admiralty came
near disrupting the cabinet, seems to
indicate that the reactionaries lack a
statesman of the proper caliber to
command his majesty's confidence.
The resignation of the premier came
as total surprise to the emperor, VINO
was greatly disturbed for time.

Wants All to Rally to General Diaz
and Avoid international Com
pIications.

Mexico City.-With warning to all
Mexicans that with every day the re
bellion continues the danger of inter
national complications increases, a
plea to them to rally to the support OF
General Diaz, and declaration that
the government never can enter into
peace negotiations with individuals in
arms, Finance Minister Jose Yves Ii
mantour Monday entered upon the
task of paciication, which the world,
at least, has set for him, and upon
the outcome of which the world is in
terested
The special car in which he travelled
from New York reached the National
station here Monday.
Hundreds of persons, among whom
were many officials and a sprinkling of
women, were on hand to greet the
travellers.
President Diaz's greeting was con-
veyed through one of his official fam
lily, the meeting between the two
most talked of men in the republic
having been deferred until later.
Senior Limantour asserted that the
statement that he was the bearer OF
conditions for the establishment OF
peace, placed in his hands by the Ma
deros in New York, was an absurdity.
Of the insurrection itself Senior Ii
mantour had nothing to add, he said
to what he had previously said, that it
constitutes treason.

Snuff boxes are not what they used
to be. More people take snuff than is
commonly thought, but their tastes are
not nice as to the utensils, receptacles
and agencies of the foible. Snuff boxes
are sometimes given by sovereigns to
distinguished visitors as souvenirs,
but the recipients are not even under
implied obligation to fill them with rap
pee. The great prices realized at the
Schroeder sale Of snuff boxes in Lon
don may bring them into vogue again,
at least with collectors, but with col
lectors only. Count Nesserode, the
Russian statesman of the last century,
was famous collector of snuff boxes.
He collected them as diplomatist, re-
celving one or two for each treaty he
signed, and when he had got 100000
worth of them turned them into cash
and became capitalist. His capital
he invested so judiciously that his de-
scendants are multimilIionaires. The
moral of Count Nesselrodes expert
ence is that a snuff box is not to be
sneeZed at.
