The Supreme Court of North Carolina
has decided that cities Of that state can
not eegregate Negroes in certain resi-
dental sections. Broad ground for the
highest tribunal in the State to take but
it is just and proper that it so do. This
body of learned lawyers has set a prec-
edent for other courts to follow, and by
80 doing has put premium on Negro
thrift, intelligence and responsibility,
The North Carolina jurists have given
the question Of seq regation careful and
mature consideration, and have arrived
at the logical conclusion that if man
be separated residentially because he is
black, it wilI only be question Of timo
until men will be segregated because
they are Baptists, Catholics, Methodi lists,
&C., &c. This decision will 60 down in
legal history as one fraught with great
wisdom and absolute fairness, and The
Pioneer Press sincerely thanks the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina for rem
dering it.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-
General Venustiano Carranza resign.
cd yesterday afternoon as Provision
al President of Mexico. The resigna
ton was presented to the delegates al
the Aguas Calientes conference and
promptly accepted. The foregoing
was Tie substance Of a dispatch re-
ceived at the Villa headquarters here
yesterday evening"
The Villa agency gave out the fol-
lowing:
The resignation of General Car
rama as Provisional President of
Mexico was presented to the Aguas
Calientes convention at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, Aguas Calientes
time, and promptly accepted. Immed-
| lately Antonio Villareal, president of
the convention, was nominated for
the Provisional Presidency, and at
the hour Of filing this message $50
p. m, Aguas Calentes time, no ser
iOus opposition has developed against
him.
AT the morning session the con
vention abandoned the plan of com
| mission form Of government for Mex
I leo until such time as an election to
fill the unexpired Diaz term could
be held. When this decision was
! reached, it became obvious that one
! OF the two lila candidates-Villarea
and Calderon-would be nominated as
! soon as the resignation Of Carranza
was placed before the convention.
Complete Victory For Villa.
| THE nominations Of Villareal and
his certain election to the Provisional
| Presidency is a complete victory for
| Villa and his supporters. Villareal
| is a man Of exceptional ability, and
his election to the presidency will
| have the effect of setting aside the
! personal differences between LEADER
I the Republic in foment since the
| overthrow. of Diaz, and is believed
to mark the beginning of an era of
| peace and prosperity in the harassed
Southern Republic"
The state department was without
| advices concerning the action of the
convention, as reported by the Villa
| agency. At the Mexican agency,
where the Carranza followers hold
forth, it was said the dispatch prob
ably gave an accurate account Of
what happened, as it was anticipated
| there from advices received that Car
rama yesterday would lay his resig-
nation before the convention.
| Villareal and Calderon, both Car
rama followers and advisers, have
| had the support of Villa since his

THE HEIGHT OF THE CLOUDS.

Many varying answers have beer
returned TO this question; and, in fact
1t may be added that there is no fixed
height for any kind of cloud. Some
remarkably interesting measures OF
the height of clouds have been made
at Vienna by an ingenious method
Advantage was taken of the extreme
ly brilliant light furnished for a great
Illuminated fountain erected in that
city. By means of protector it was
found that a beam of light could be
sent up to the clouds, producing upon
them a luminous spot capable of be-
ing observed simultaneously from
points on the earth two or three miles
apart. By such observations the
height of certain clouds, of the cirrus
variety, was found to be as much as
ten thousand metres, or nearly thirty
three thousand feet.
