SENATOR NELSON PUTS IN
BOOST FOR MILLS.
Says Experience on Railroad and
Warehouse Commission Makes
Him Asset to State.
By George F. Authier.

Washington, May l4.-(Spccial.)-
Senator Knute Nelson yesterday COM
mentcd on the candidacy of Judge Ira
B. Mills to succeed himself on The
railroad and warehouse commission.
Senator Nelson's views are an un-
usual expression of friendly interest,
and may have ben prompted by the
fact that Judge Mills was appointed
to the commission when Senator Mel
son was governor.
Judge Mills is very useful men,
ber of the commission" said the sen-
ator. He is an able lawyer, he is
honest and industrious, and his long
experience with the commission has
made him extremely useful to the
state. He has made speciality of
railroad law, knowledge that is es-
pccially valuable at this time. Each
year he has served on the commits
sion has made him more valuable"

did he do his work that the board at
st. Augustine offered him position at
sos a month, which he accepted and
held for five years, when he was called
to the High Point Normal and Indus
trial institute. The equipment consist
ed Of five acres of land, one frame
building and the principals cottage
The cottage is the only building left Of
the older buildings.
Taking hold of the work with de-
termination to win, Professor Griffin
nineteen years ago went about to make
improvements. He purchased ninety
two acres of land, erected two large
brick buildings, one laundry, work
shop, one Industrial building and car
penter shop. The literary course stands
second to none.

services to the training of the boys
and girls. He remained with the insti-
tuition about four years and resigned
to return to his home, having placed
the institution on good footing
At this point the board Of trustees
saw f1t to call into service a member
Of our race in the person Of Professor
A. j. Griffin. He took charge of the
work in July, 1897, and when it was
announced in the fall that school was
ready more applied than could be ac-
commodated.
Professor Griffin was born in Edge
comb county, N. c., and spent his early
life, like most Of the young men and
boys, on the farm. 1t was soon after
the close of the war. AS soon as he
was old enough he was placed in the
country school by his parents, and it
was soon discovered that he was
bright boy, capable Of rapid advance.
ment. After three years in the country
school his parents sent him to the Tar
boro high school. This was just twelve
miles from his home, and he put his
feet In the road and walked it.
He would spend the week in Tar
boro, but just as soon as school clos
ed on Fridays he would start back
home and remain until Sunday aft
ernoon, and then he would walk back
to school, bringing his food for the
week with him. AS soon as he was far
enough advanced to teach a country
school he taught In the summer, earn
ing little money, and by this means
was able to enter st. Augustine's Col
legiate institute, Raleigh, N. c. He re-
NAMED In this school for five years,
graduating in 1892 at the head Of his
class.
1t should be inspiring to the young
people to know that Professor Griffin
had a widowed mother, whose means
were limited; hence he had to work his
way through school. During his entire
school life in st. Augustine he had few
clothes, and he was kept busy patching
them to make them last. When the
time for his graduation came the other
members of his class had new suits.
and this young man had to have some
thing new also, so he went to nearby
rag shop, bought a suit Of clothes for
$1.5O and paid tailor $1.50 to trim
them down to his size. A pair Of Sec
ondhand shoes from secondhand
store, and then from the same rag
store he purchased some underclothes.
The clothes were all new to him, even

used before, this young man stood up.

The Negro is essentially and vitality
AMERICAN. His descent from the
original Negroes imported here has
been, in most cases, direct. He at
taches no hyphen to his name and
knows no love save that for the land
of his fathers father. His loyalty is
unquestionable; he responds with fer
vor to any call which means the pre-
servation of OUR land; even in the
effort he regards as an honorable a.
gent; he is ofttimes mistreated but
despite this mistreatment, despite the
discrimination, the hatred, the jeal-
ousy, the oppression, as unit and as
a race The Negro is an American.

paid a high compliment to the etfi-

WilberfOrce by its present officers
when he stated that "the per capita
cost of each student is the lowest Of
any institution for manual training and
higher education in the state" Again,
in the clearest possible way, he gave
one Of the prime reasons why Wilber-
force has done and IS doing such
great work when he said: Here there
are no artificial distinctions created

in social prodigality. The students are
a homogeneous body, all enjoying the
