Below we copy this pleasing article:--, ' "Primarily, $500,000 was granted for an institution for mental defpctlves. idiots, epileptics, insane, etc., curabla or in curable. Next the Legislature paid Its attention to sufferers from tuberculosis, voting 15,000 for a tuberculosis ward at Worganton, and ttj,6u0 for a Ktate tuber culosis sanatorium, which is to receive $&,000 annually. County commissioners, by another statute, are new required to Separate tubercular prisoners from those In good health in oil prlaons and deten tion camps. The child labor law was strengthened by prohibiting night worn tot children under fourteen, and raising tne age limit to thirteen for the illiterate. Jvext, a tentative compulsory school at tendance law waa also put on the -books, excepting. It Is true, some counties, but enabling the others to apply it when cer tain that public sentiment Is ready for it The Assembly's Interest In the schools did not end there. Provision was made for a system of high schools for such counties as wish them, an east em training school for teachers and a school of technology along original lines were established, while the , nnancial grant to the State University and col leges were largely Increased. Finally, a reform school for delinquent children, called the Stonewall Jackson School, has been begun, and its management placed in the hands of women. v . "Of course these votes bespeak the growing prosperity of North Carolina, as does the Increase of Confederate pen sions from 27S,000 to ,000. But more than that, they illustrate clearly the great change that is coming in the at titude of the South towards social ques tions from the legislative standpoint. The old attitude of Indifference is pass ing away, as the poverty of reconstruc tion days is left behind. The demand for better schools, as for better roads and belter State institutions, makes It self felt on every side. At bottom, it is an economic change; the effects of wr.icn v.o ere no seeing But th developing of the State's great natural resources is ro wholly responsible, much as that has helped. It Is, in a way, a reflex of better conditions elsewhere, ar.d of the gen erally increasing humanitarianlsm or. cur times.

For instance, la some of the oldest books, es weU as in come of modern times, we find .phrases or worda now so applied that they have become embodied in our slang,. We think tfhey are new. On the contrary some of them have died and come to Hfo ag-ain and some haye fceen mere ly adapted. Thus, Tom Watson's Week ly Jeff ersonian quotes from Chapter IV of "Dombey and Son" old Sol Gill's ex planation to his nephew, Walter, why the shop must be closed and the busi ness abandoned: "You sea, Walter," said he. "In, truth this business Is merely a habit with me. I am so aocustomed to the habit that I could hardly live if I relinquished It; but there's nothing doing, nothing doing," So "nothing doing," which is in so much favor to-day, is quite fifty year old and has merely had a recrude scence. 4 A young gentleman In Charlotte has just finished 'Xes Miserable," and in "Marhis," book first, jran upon some thing that interested him much, though, being young fellow of sense th;whole work of course fascinated him. Hugo is describing the gaimin of Paris, describing hint Incompar ably. One Jeers a physlcliati who is one of ' a funeral procession. "Hey there!

A grave man, adorned with spectacle and trinkets, turns round indignantly: 'You good-for-nothing, you bave seised my wife's waist!' X sir! Search me!"' And yet The Observer had thought that "Search me" wtas of tfoe vintage of 190$, Just as it had thought until Friday that "miuchihg the dog" was bran new. The young gentleman reader found something else in the ,'MarlAls', divi sion. Hugo ds writing of the "Friends of the A B C," amd telling of one of its members, Grantalre, tike the oth ers a young student: "He knew the best plaoe for every thing where tne best of everything in I'arls was to be had; In addition, boxing and fast fencing and some, dances; and he was a thorough single-stick player. He was a tremendous drinker to boot. Ho was Inordinately homely: the pret tiest boot-sticher of that day, Irma Boiesy, enraged with his homeliness, pro rouncod. sentence on him as follows: Grantalre is Impossible." " We eav now of a man or woman rhait he or she is "impossible' and think the use of the word as a de scriptive term new.

Job and his rrionds are quarreling and Job has just suild "that he would rather be detutd than alive: "Then answered BUdad the Shuhlte, and said: "How long wilt thou speak these things?

THE KEELEY INSTITUTE, CreeMion, N. C. WILLIAMS Aftl) VARDAMAN THEY BIEET IN. JOINT DEBATE Williams Says Country Needs Men to Do Things, Not to Advocate the Im possible Vardamnn Flays the Ne gro and is Sorry That the Confeder acy Failed. Meridian, Miss., Dispatch, 4th, to Now York Sun. Gov. James K. Vardaman and the Hon. John Sharp Williams met here in Joint debate this morning before an audienceof probably 10,001) people. The 'debate opened at 10:30. Mr. Wil liams leading, and closed at 3:30 with Mr. Vardaman's surrejoinder. Mr. Wil liams said in part: "What we need in our executive bo dies is not men to advocate Impossi bilities but men to do things. One thing I know and that is If Mr. Vard aman should enter the Senate agitat ing the repeal of the fifteenth amend ment he would cOme out with a dras tic enforcement of the fourteenth amendment. If such a thing as "the repeal , of (the fifteenth amendment could be brugoht about without re instating tihe negro question in politics I would work for It, vote for it and do everything in my power possible to get it, but It looks to me as impos sible." As to government ownership of rail roads Mr. Williams said: "It is not advisable to try ito get this at the present time, and In case It was gotten It would be a curse to the South. It 'would put '.he Southern peo ple where tihey would likely have to put up with railroad trains without separate coaches ami otherwise be brought too much In contact with the negro. Mr. Vardaman's address was char acteristic of the main. Among other things he said: "Thank God we have few million aires, few cities and no paupers In the State of Mississippi. There is to-day a tendency to imperialism, to drift away from the moorings of our fathers and to gat away from the old principle of State rights, Mr. Williams speaks of my saying Mr. Bryan is ahead of his day and time. Tew, I say he Is a long way ahead;' as the morning Is ahead of the .midnight, Mr. Bryan does not want to make gov ernment ownership of railroads an Is sue, and neither do I." In discussing the. repeal of the fif teenth amendment .Mr. Vardaman painted a tragic picture of a poor wo man outraged by a negro in Jack son; of the negro's arrest and trial; how the woman sank into uncon sciousness on the witness utaaid, while 'vthe brute Jeered in fleji'dieih glee." He wound up his recital with the declara tion (that he would not have had this woman suffer what she did in that court room for all the negroes in the United States. There iwas cheering and much ap plause at this night.. Mr. Williams, In reply, said he was not disappointed in Mr. Vardaman's address, that he had draiwn a horrible picture of the negro flemi, but what would Che repeal of the fifteenth amendment have to do with it? Would It abolish the negro? Would not the negro with the same nature and ten dencies still be here? The repeal of the fifteenth amend ment would bo accomplished only by a two-third majority In both houses of Congress. If Mr. Vardaman was sin cerely in favor of this why did he not In his long service in the Legis lature of MtsslBsippt try to have the State Legislature recommend It Why did re not try to get it recom mended during his three and a half years term as Governor? , - "Mr. vardaman Is getting m the ha bit of finding too many liars," Wil liams' said. "The Jackson News la a liar and now he questions the stenog rapher hired by mo whom I never naw or heard of before I (hired him. Then he discovers that The Times-Democrat and The Gulf port Tribune ere "also liars." Continuing he said: ; '1 asked Jhlm how ho would nmend the fourteenth amendment and Hiave never received an, answer. Now, my friends, I will ask you. Do you want the Yankee to take charge tf it he ne gro quest ion 7 ' Answer time loudly: "No, No. No. No." "Now this agitation would simply mean the enforcement of tho four teenth amendment and not the repeal of the fifteenth amendment As far as I can see the door of hope Is already closed on the negro politically. It Is not the negro franchise that Is now a menace to Mississippi. It is the ne gro himself. He is cut. out of the fran I NOTICK TO OUR CUSTOMERS. Lwj Bf?"

R. H, , Owlght, Diaek. chise, now, but it Is him iwe fear and not hi vote." The surrejoinder by Mr. Vardaman was not a success. He went to pieces under the sharp tongue and watchful eye of Williams. Several times ihe un dertook to quote Mr. Williams, was halted by the Congressman and ad mitted himself in error. The crowd howled with delight at these tilts.' . Mr. Vardaman begged for silence, saying he lhad sat in his wet clothing until hoarse, but wanted a fair (hear ing. He finished with an appeal to the voters for a chance to show in the Senate 'to the people of the North the status of the negro question. He said that if elected .to the Senate he would let those who do not know the real danger from negro suffrage know the exact condition of affairs In the South. Again he warmed up to his subject amd said: ,. "I am not of those who are glad that the Confederacy failed in her purpose. I would rather live under the Stars and Bars unqer Jefferson Davis, than 'under the Stars and Stripes with Theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States." This statement was cheered to -the echo, ( FIRE ON BIG BATTLESHIP. Flames Appear Near Her Powder Magazine and She is Sunk in Slip to Prevent Tholr Spread -Investi-gntion to be Made. Trillion.
