The year Is closmg at the Southern' Presbyterian Cpllege nd Conservatory of , Music at Red Springs. As the end approach es muslo lovers are delighted. Gradu ates' recitals usually precede It and are annual sources of great enjoyment not only to the community but to Increasing numbers from a distance. The' great auditorium Monday even ing was a scene of beauty. A splen did audience came from many points to hear the first fraduate recital of the aeries. It was glveki by Miss Lessle Norma Llndney, of Greensboro, assisted by Miss Johnsle Evana Ba son, violinist. It was a carefully wrought programme. The numbers chosen showed strong faith In the pu pil by her cultured teachers. Noth ing but a full knowledge of her nice training snd ripe culture could have warranted such a venture. There was no disappointment. The first number was the Shapsody Op 71 No. 1. by Brahma, Fourth Bare- ralle .in u by Rubenateln and the Impromptu In B flat Op. 141 No. I, by Schubert. It was rendered With fine effect. There was an all-round nice ty withal an ease and warmth In handling the more difficult parts that won the highest praise. The presen tation gave the audience undoubted ly-great .enjoyment. The next number was the first movement of Beethoven's "Appaaalon ata Sonata." This was Justly pro nounced a brilliant rendition.' The at mosphere was felt to be distinctly Heathoven. It wae really a fine expo sition of piano playing. -The degree of perfection In technical skill and the marked Individuality and strength of her Interpretation were notable. The third group waa the warum snd Novelette In F Op. 21 by Schu- man. The loud and prolonged ap plause at the close of this presenta tion attested the great pleasure It gave the audience. The fourth number was the pre lude In C sharp minor by Raschman- enoff. the ValseJn A flst Op. 42 by Chopin, the Rhapsndle Hongrolse No. I. by Llsst. This nreeentatlon made the programme, some one said, cti- matle. The talented young player showed herself at home to a surpass ing degree with Chopin. Many of his Idle syncrssles In this selection were mastered and very cleverly ex pressed. There was s warmth of tem perament and sweetneas and rich ns of tone throughout thst delight ed. The execution in the Rhapsodle was beautifully done. Hhe proved herself the possessor of exceptional penetration and Intellectu- Illy. The lighter passages never suffered a moment because of the en ergetic attention celled for by the fortlslmoa. The octave paaages, the dread of atudenta. were handled with success that would have been a credit lo a much older musician. The talents snd culture of this young mu sician will be heard from in com ing years. Miss Bason played two numbers with rare grace and technical finish that added greatly to her credit as an accomplished, violinist. Mrs. C O. Vardell. the gifted director, whose touch Is always so musical and fas cinating, played the accompaniment. After one more graduate recital the commencement exerclaes will open. The baccalaureate aermon will be heard next Hunday. The final day Is Wedneaday, when Hon. O. H. Pat terson will deliver the literary ad drens, the "diploma will be delivered and the valedictory will be spoken. A greet crowd will throng the halls and grounds of the Institution as us ual.

McNeill Defends His EHaoatlonal Association, Whim he naye ts .otn posed Wholly of Koutherocrs. . To the Editor of Th Obeenrerr f ', ' J ': four' editorial "protest'V and ,." sentment" of Msy 11. aimed at me, as th president of an educational organisation In this city, because- of certain statements ascribed to me by some unknown authority, ..has Just been noticed. Whilevl think you would nav done youreeii ana your paper more credit to have first learn ed a little something about what, the organisation I represent hopes to do, and then learned, with some little au thority, whst I actually said about1 "the Illiterate conditions ; prevailing throughout the Stat and th whole Southland.", still, If you will let this brief statement go to your - readers. my "protest" and Presentment" at your giving misinformation and gar bled quotations to the public, will be quieted. - ..!, . ,-,! . The organisation I represent Is composed almost entirely of South ern people, all of whom. I think, are as proud of their States as The Ob server and would be as quick to re sent e thoughtless or deliberate af front to their State's pride. Each member of th organisation, as I be lieve, feeling thst there- are many worthy white children of fine capabil ities In each of th Southern States deserving but not now receiving their full share of the privileges of th times, really wants to do some ser vice towsrds a betterment of theee educstlonsl conditions, and because of no feeling except that of brother hood and patriotic love of native State. .v r , The fact that there la such an or ganisation has eaueed resentment . In some quarters of North Carolina, and I am yet pussllng my brain to know why, alnce the existence of such or ganizations. If conducted upon high linee and from unselfish motives, can do naught but good. Surely this re sentment ts not sn evidence either of bigoted pride of opinion or hos tility to the efforts of patriotic North Carolinians In doing something for their own neoole. If It did arise from such motives 1 should treat Its au thors with the contempt their miser able narrowness would deserve. Further, as to your proteet at my use of "alleged statistics" as to th "benighted conditions" of the South ern people, particularly those of my own State. First, my statistics wer those of the census of the i United States and referred to conditions as they were In North Csrollna and oth er Southern Stales tiwlsOO. and were tiled for no purpose, as expressly stated, except to show the need the Ststee were under of, receiving and accepting with proper appreciation any and all sensible and pertinent suggestions as to Improvements In ed ucstlonsl facilities or advantages, that were offered is a spirit of true help fulness and from no motive of mis guided enthusiasm. Second. These statistics were secured for the Infor matlon snd advantage of the public and I respectfully submit thst there can exlat no proper ground for criti cising their use In the manner here stated before an audience of Southern people animated by a real anxiety to do aomethlng for the Ststes of their nativity, an audience es truly re pre sentatlve of the South as any : that could be found In North Carolina, and as hostile to the exploiting of the South's illiteracy as any that could be gathered together in your proud Charlotte. Third, No statement . or suggeatlon that there was In North Carolina a "benighted" section or condition prevailing came from me or anyone. If you need other proof of this than my statement I would refer you to Hon. Champ. Clark.'wno wtn be In your city May 20th and who was present. Your reference to my having laid special emphasis upon the "benight ed condition" of the Southland . and epeclally of North Carolina Is gratui tous: The statistics I quoted ehowed that there was about 70.000 whit children of school age In North Car olina In 1100 that were not enrolled In the public schools. I staled thst this fact proved thst your effort to do nin eth Ing to Inspire an Increaeed anx iety and renewed determination tb see these children enrolled In our schools and given at leat a rudimentary edu cation was timely, and In my Judg ment would be appreciated by our people. I did prophecy in my brief remarks, however, that there would be thoae who would rise up to decry our effort aa nffenalve IntermiddUng, and your editorial utterances have aeen my prophecy'a fulfillment. 1 be lieve yet. however, that I was right when 1 said thst the great- masses must approve and appreciate any al truistic spirit which prompts North Carolinians, even If they sre tempor arily non-residents, to give of their time snd money to the children of the State in need of our moat generoul consideration. .. - In my address to which yog have hsd referenc e 1 cited some other ata ctics as to the public schools of North Carolina, showing that In 118. only 12.17 was appropriated for each pupil's education. I elated, -, and I atata now. that this sum Is, not suf ficient to fully meet the demands of duty w hich the Htate owes Its children and 1 think The Observer will concur In this aentlment. ' .' "1 ' I do not yield precedenc to 'The observer or any other. Influence, or person in the pride I feel at being a North Carolinian. Nor do- I agree that The Observer Is to be tn cen sor of the motives of every North Carolinian who chooses to attempt, In hie own way, something for his home people. My life hss been epent, in Isrge part. In sn earneet effort to help in the e'euse of universal edu cation among the sturdy, honest and cspsble white cltlsens of western North Cerollne. The peopl know this so well ihst no sarcaatle criti cism, based upon mlslnformsllon as to fact and motive, .will b taken as a reflection wport my purpose. While I have no hops of accomplishing much of value through the efforts of the orgsnlxatlon I repreeent, my ef forts wilt wot ceaae becauae of whart I must think sre unjust. Ill-llroed and unienerous criticisms. f " Very respectfully, ROBERT H. M'NK.ILL, Washington, D. C. May It. 1101. ' Mrs. Botkln Begins Her Prison Term. San Francisco Special.

May 20th. the Char lotte paper doea not go Into any elab orate recital of evidence to refute the latest, argument of Th News and Courier, but merely quotes Hemphill to answer Hemphill, which la neatly dona to say tho-least. In answer to th contention of the Newa and Cour ier that Charlotte Is Risking much of a myth. The Observer quotes ths fol lowing from an address delivered by Editor Hemphill before th centenntsl Synod of th Assocste Reformed Presbyterian - Church December I, ISOlr, v . . - ; . Th spirit of insistence to foreign oppression, which ws first manifested by the Scotch-Irish of Pennsylvania and New York, was th spirit animat ed these-ltberty-lovlng people In the CArollnss.and In th colonies, wher ever they have established communi ties. They acknowledged final allegi ance only to the King of. Kings, and remembering their -owni deliverance from bondage and dealrlng that the freedom which they possessed ahould bo extended In larger measure t their posterity and preeerved forever,' they wer th-first to declare themselves free from British dominion, pledging to the maintenance of this solemn cov enant their lives, their fortunes and their sacrsd honor. . This declaration waa made at Charlotte, feorth Caro lina, in May 1771., mor than a year before tb declaration at Philadel phia. : It . was drafted by Ephriam Brevard, a ruUn elder In the Presby terian church, and of th convention which ' adopted - the declaration one third of th members wero ruling ci ders." . v.',.'.-:;'.., ; We confess some curiosity ss to how The News and Courier will get out of the hole. Many years sgo a very substantial but determined cltl sen who had nle own Ideas of how things ought to be don and a force ful way of enforcing them, waa sum moned to court. The deputy, who went t his home "to serve the process was Informed gently but. firmly that ha would have to return empty hand ed. The deputy 'well knew that to re turr without bis man would ht a con lrs.on of Incompetency an-l -weakness, while' to Irritate him would not mend matters. After exhausting his stock of persuasives, without avail, he turned to the old man and said. "Colonel, have you read the last actT" The colonel confessed that he had not and Inquired the purport The depu ty ahook hie head omnlously and sug gested that no time should be lost In becoming acquainted with the "last act." And between curloelty to learn Its meaning and fear of breaking the law, the colonel decided to accompany the deputy to the court house. There seems to be nothing left for The News snd Courier but to plead "the last act," that the speech was delivered before Historian . Bailey came op jho scene. FORGEHY AND INCENDIARISM.
