The Genuine Rooseuelt.
Thirteen days from today the
ff'remost man of his time will
pass into private life, after seven
years of most varied official
acti vities, most of them historical
ly important and all of them
dramatic and exciting. The
striking individuality of Mr.
Roosevelt; his pioneership in a
hundred different paths; his bold
attack upon long established evils
his impregnable place in the
hearts of tiie these facts,
•ixmbited in a thousand and one
lights during «tormy encouatei^,
have made him an ideal mode)
and pattern for shells of counter
feit ‘ reformers, ” bogus crusad
ers, and base imitators. The
more Theodore Ropsevelt was
tested by fire and found to be
Dure gold the more eager were
charlatans to imitate yhim. A
counterfeit is never counterfeit
ed: it is the genuine which is
foliowed by its spurious shadow.
The esteem and gratitude of
the American people will follow
Mr. Roosevelt to Africa, and all
patriotic men will him thorough
rest and recreation, in order that
in due time, he may return and
'ievote his remarkable powers to
the A^elfare of his country.

Durham, Sept. 30.—Judge H.
W. Whedoee,' sitting in chambers
here to-night, heard argumments
of counsel in the case of J. Z.
Waller vs. the State Dispatch
Publishing company, Burlington,
in which the plaintiff sought to
have the D‘/ticy of the paper
changed from Bull Moose to
Republican. The judge handed
down a decision that since it was
admitted that the mai'ority of
the stockholders were in favor of
the Bull Moose, he had no right
to go behind the ^ will of tWe
fij^'ority of thct^ stockholders
no vested rights were
violated, and the company doing
teisiness wsu» authorized by ch£ur-
ter. '
Waller’s contention was that
he put xa’oaey, time and labor
into the paper with the express
understanding that it was l^pu-
blican. He produced evidence
showing that the organizers had
met before selling stock and
agreed that the paper be Republi
can. He said that following the
Chicago convention, he ran the
paper advocating Taft and Sher
man. 1 he meeting which chang
ed the policy of the paper was
said to, be irregular and the
majority swelled by the issue of
fourteen shares of fraudulent
stock. This was denied by the
defense. The stock had been
subscribed, but only taken up
and paid for just before this
meeting.
Waller admitted that the
mojority stockholders at present
favored Bull Moose candidatfes
and Progressive principles, but
contented that in, having the,
politics of the paper changed, he.
was t being deprived of vested
rigiits in that,he had been forced
to p£iy for stock in a paper which
he understood was to be different
ly conducted, and contract for
which had been drawn allying
the paper with the Republican
party.
The onlj' case cited by the
plaintiff was that by Jones pg inst

the youngest student ever inatri
culated at the University of
North Carolina, Robert Welqh,
J r., 12 yeat s old, is a full flfged
freshman at this institution iihi
the A. B. course. In knee bre
eches and looking more likg a
child than a college youth, he
was admitted at the binning of
tlieMssipn this faJl hp
fmtrah^e examination with
^se. In fact, he was declared
immune when the .hazers se.t
about their pranks soon after colr
lege opened.
Son of a well-to-do planter
residing near Hertford, N. C.,
the lad exhibited such unusual
signs of preocity at an early age
that his mother began to use him
as an experiment for some of
her pedagogical theories. When
three years old, he could read
intelligently and tell Jthe time of
day accurately. '
„At 4 he knew multiplication
table up to the twentieth line,
reasoning it out for himself with
out the use of a book. At this
age he also had a fair knowledge
of fractions. After this his pro
gress was so rapid that he was
not allowied to study at all bet;
ween the ages of 6 and 8.
At 10 he entered the Elizabeth
City high school, where he re
mained tw6 years, standing at
the head of his class each year
During this; period his mother
kept constantly in touch with
him, talking with him over the
phone several tiiniies a day in re
gard to his studiesi
, The lad has a marked predilec
tion for mathematics, finding the
solution of the “pons asinorum”
and other such dil^icalt probleriis
as simple as the multiplication
table was when' he was barely
out of swaddling clothes. He
follow a profession, but is in no
hijrry to choose one.
