Th (jf i vth ot Socialism. Norfolk Y >1 Hot. Out in ? most natural but least it*-. r tendencies of the tine lead of socialistic onini" )f the rational, but of tli >aternalistic kind. Kvcii South the growth ofsoci i v noticeable, though the ha' onservatism of the South le does not incline them up with new and rati ical v ? a lea. Hut in the North, ities, in the mining and m i a t uringtowna,social ism is raj becoming a force to be rc "1 with. The 'I if it is not far to seek i 11tid aggregation of wealth in ? eat years; the vulgar display t> new rich; the brutal and it I indifference of trusts to tin iv I of employees and the pul;' . crest; and by no means h e main for the fol iar, wh- " honestly earned or not.?th ? i tilings that have coii i rib v i o the spread of socialistic opinions of the most rail ica I ?r< ll i i. -appose thatsocial ism is ?> i ...ng to be whistled! down lie md under existingj conditio it- should disabuse? his mind <11 nit conclusion. Its danger 1 i< s it he fact that it. has eno1111 lit . li in it to make it seem pi cti i ole to the not too well inforn i uiillions who are diss i islinl with their lot in life and tviiut a "new deal;" in the fact that it accentuates class dis-! tinct ion and rouses class preju dices to i fiirv; and especially in the fact that socialism has in unit ersal suffrage in thiscountry a weapon more effective that it has in Laropeati countries. The t rusts are the most effective evangels of socialism. With practically all the instruments of production and distribution monopolised by the trusts, if a period of financial stress and commercial stagnation should ensue a socialistic candidate for President on a government own ership platform would poll 2,000, 000 iu 1004. A factor of that kind coustitu- \ tes a "problem" for somebody to solve. In this case it happens to be the States of the North and Middle West that must solve it, and the tusk is not an easy one. .The "problem" of socialism is far more complex and dangerous than l lie "negro problem," and the North might very well devote more attention to the former and less to the latter. The ordi nary citizen of the North is liable to tind himself, within the next decade between the devil of the trusts and the deep sea of social ism What will tie do in that event? A Negro Paper's Advice. A negro paper alius advices the people of its race: "(io to work for a living. "Quit loafing around the cor ners. "Stop looking upon a police man (is a common enemy. "If an officer attempts to make an Arrest, do not r-sist or in any way interfere with him. "Help 1 lie authorities to sub- i ?' -tain and enforce the laws of the I city and aid in the detection of crime and the punishment of criminals. "Fight the dives and deus and begin the Hght for the negro's own hearthstone." The statisticians reckon the June gifts to American colleges at $12,817,082. And the list contains nothing, strange to say, for t he university of Chicago. The Maine historical society has voted to accept the long felh ? house, oflorea to it by Mrs. Ann'1 Longfellow Pierce, and has appointed n committee to take , 1 liar ? of the property. i ROBERTS ON GENERAL LEE. One oi The Greatest Soldiers ot Any Age. Richmond, Ya., July 15.?In a letter just received bv Mi as Mary Custis Lee, Lord Roberts, now commaader-in-chief of the Brit ish army, and the hero of the British campaign in South Af rica, says that it is his hope to some day visit Lexington, Va., and there look upon the tomb of lee, the great Southern chief tain. The following is an extract taken from the letter to Miss Lee: "It may lie that I shall never be able to carry out my wish of visiting your country, but I hope that some day I shall do so, and that 1 may see the monument in the college chapel at Lexington. I shall consider it a privilege to lie able to show my resiiect and admiration for one of the great est, soldiers of a 113' age?Lee, of Virginia. "With kind regards from Lady Roberts and myself, believe me, dear Miss Lee, Yours sincerely, "Fked Roherts." Teacher's Institute. We give in last week's issue the work of the Teacher's Institute up until Thursday night. On Thursdav night the court house bell pealed out and the town turned out. There was to be a debate on the question of compulsory edu cation, but owing to some cause the question was not discussed. l'rof. Brogden, of Kinston, made a short but interesting talk along that line, while Miss Nellie Johnson, Miss Lena Rose, Miss Annie Hood, Miss Onie Britt and Rosa Richardson de lighted all present with good recitations. The teachers assem bled again Friday morning and ajgeneral review of the weeks' work was discussed wit h the addi tion of a new work in arithmetic. Before adjourning they unani mously adopted the following resolution: Whereas, By our own observa tion and l>3' the best infor mation obtainable from other sources we see with regret that, the per ceutage of illiteracy in our State is very large as com pared with the other states; and, Whereas, we deem as the chief cause of this illiteracy of the masses the inadequate amount of public school fund hitherto provided ; now, therefore, we, the teachers of Johnston county in association assembled, conscious that the greatest measure of re lief can come only through legis lative enactment, do most hearti ly thank our Senator, Allen K. Smith, and our representative, J. M. Morgan and Clarence Rich ardson for their untiring efforts to secure more funds and for the faithful part they bore to secure the increased appropriations and other needed improvements in the public school system of North Carolina. They also gave a rising vote of thanks to Prof. Foust, of Golds boro, for the great help he gave during the entire session of the Institute. A vote of thanks to Thk Her ald was given for its efforts in behalf of education,and the liberal offer of space for educational dis cussions. also thanks was voted to the people of the town for their hospitality. MICRO NOTES, j Mr. \V. J. Gay, of Wilson, N.C., was in to see us Monday. Mr. Pat Barnes and familv, of Rowland, N. C., visited Mr. C. A, Fitzgerald last week. Mr. N. H. Parrish is herefrom St. Stephens, S. C. to visit his sister, Mrs. Ransom Batten. The tobacco through this sec tion is generally fine, some peo ple are about half done curing. The continued wet weather has caused the farmers to lay by their crops sooner than they exi>eeted. Mr. J. W. Fitzgerald has ac cepted a position with Mr. 1. Greenthall, of Wilson, llelefton the loth to go to work. Mr. R. B. Lamb killed the larg est water moccasin the other day that has ever been seen in this section. He killed him in his fath ers fish pond. The snake measured 8*4 inches around and was 4 feet and 7 inches long. There is no use talking, the to bacco worms are eat ing the farm ers tobacco up in this section. It seems as if they are worse this vear than before; they seem to be heartv, two or three can eat up a st alK in a short time. You can judge from that that they are not small worms but big ones. LEACHBURG ITEMS. More raiu and more gratis. The farmers are very mu^h dis couraged over the present pros pects of their crops. Mr. and Mrs. "Babe" Johnson, of near Smithfield, spent the tirst of the week in Leachburg. There must be some attraction in the (iulley's Mill section for some of our young sports. Mrs. W. H. Lyon and son Win field, of Raleigh, spent a part of last week visiting in this section. Owing to some cause unknown to the writer there was no ser vices held at Shiloh last Sunday. The Sunday School at Shiloh church seems to be on a booin? have good attendance every Sun day. Messrs John Hardee, Booker Wood, W. T. Johnson and Horn Johnson went on the excursiou to Norfolk last week. Messrs. Louis Martin and Frank Wood spent last Sunday evening and night over in Pleas ant Grove township among the fair sex. This section will not have so much wine and cider as they have laid of years heretofore on ac count of the three mile incorpor ation of Oakland church. Ye correspondent hears with pleasure that Mr. "Babe" Coats has an extra finecropof tobacco. In fact, it is said by those who have seen it to be the finest in the community. The farmers in general are in a very gloomy condition on ac count of such sorry crops. The cotton crop through this entire community are the poorest they have been in many years. There will be a special commu nication of Pplenta Lodge No. 450 A F. and A. M. 011 next Sat urday, the 20th, at 2:30 o'clock for work in the Master's degree and any other business that may come before the lodge.

Debuam went to Au burn again Sunday. What's the matter with him? Mrs.Chas. H. Belvin,of Raleigh, spent the first days of this week with her daughter, Mrs. Chas. W. Home. " Misses Norma and Margaret Priddy, of Keysville, Ya., are visiting their sister, Mrs. C. W. Carter. Several of our visitors returned to their homes Sunday. The memory of them is still fresh in our minds. Our Baptist Sunday School is in a very prosperous condition and promises to be much larger. We have now about 150 pupils. Mr. Jno. W. Massey who is in the employ of the Atlantic and N. C. Railway Co. at New Bern, is spending a few days with his family. Our greatest fears are some times unfounded, Billie thought his derby was totally destroyed, but finds he will avoid discarding it ffir awhile. Mr. Herman Medlin is having his residence remodeled. It is not difficult to deline such a pro ceeding. We extend to them (?) our most encouraging wishes. The incessant rains have some what depressed our farmers. We think from all reports the feeling is very general. The oldest farm ers say "one month of fine weather has a deal to do with determining the crop." We have applications every dav for positions in the cotton mill. A full foreeof operatives will soon be enlisted, and the ponderous wheels will begin to revolve, con verting our Tittle villa into a manufacturing town. Our people look forward to each Friday as the children look for St. Nicholas. This is explicitly explained when we remember it is rlkr M.n day. It is a source of genuine enjoyment to peruse its splendid pages and cull the liter ary sheets from its ever increas ing storehouse. Ray. Remember the Old Reliable Auburn Wagon. For sale by W. L.
