We are loth to believe that the
erudite editor of , the Biblical Be
corder intended to create a false
impression, or hinder the progress
of an institution which has been
and should continue to be of ines
imnhln henefit to the colored, race
m m , 4 .
of this state, when he referred in a
derogatory manner 10 iue wui a ux
the colored Agricultural and Me
chanical College, of this city, in
the last issue of his paper; "we
rather think he was imposed on by
some evil-minded or misguided
person. Certain it is that if he
had made the proper' investigation
he could not have penned the fol-'
lowing lines with a clear con
science: "
A colored teacher of high stand
ing in North Carolina baa written
to us to say that our editorial on
the 'Kid-glove Idea' applies equally
as well to the colored A. and M.
College at Greensboro as to that
for the whites at Raleigh. While
down in eastern North Carolina,'
he says, 'negroes are in deepest
gloom of ignorance and in direst
need of bread, mainly for want of
just a little telling 'what and how'
of the ground upon which they are
dying, not living, and where they
can be easily gotten together and
instructed somewhat of how to
A 1 . S ! I 1
iarm, now 10 raise pigs, now to ue
gin. buying a little land, a home,
how to live at home instead of out
of the store, how: to plant a garden,
want of this knowledge, the Agri
cultural and Mechanical College is
preparing for a summer picnrc for1
men and women, a sporting sum-
mer scnooJ, witn tneostensiDle pur
pose of teaching the elite teachers
now to teach Latin, Psychology,
German and Geometry. Poor ne
groes here working for forty cents
a day when they can, and no ray
of light from this institution for
them 1'
"It is even so. He encloses a
program for the summer school.
"The president of this .school
Keeps his head above water mostly
by politics. Diligently does he
follow the example of his contem
poraries in state institutions and
bang around the state eapitol in
legislative days.
"The faculty of this institution
ought to be driven out of their
summer school sham into the wood
of North Carolina and be made to
teach their race something sensi
ble, if they know anything.
"There is no hope for the negro
except in practical training; and
of all the spectacles these times
afford, this of a coterie of negroes
running a summer school in Psych
logy and Geometry and German
and Latin, representatives of a race
that is not out of the nrirrmr and
iue auuiuon iaDie, is ai once tne
ahamefulest and most ridiculous 1"
It is a regrettable fact that the
editor of a religious journal of
wide influence should lend his
vrords and influence against the
most useful educational institution
the colored people of North Caro
lina have. Is it possible thatf Mr.
Bailey's long-standing and virulent
antipathy to "state, aid for higher
education" has extended to the in
stitutions thus sunrjorted fnr th
T " w - mmmtr
benefit of the colored brother?
j But as to the allegations con
tained in the above extract: The
lamentable condition of the negroes
in many parts of eastern Carolina,
as portrayed by the Becorder'a in
formant, is only too true. To re
lieve their condition is one of the
prime objects of the colored Agri
cultural and Mechanical College.
If Mr. Bailey had visited the coU
lege, and informed himself as to
the work beta? done he would know
that here the , negro is offered su
perior advantages in industrial and
moral training advantages irnicn
are offered him byi no othe jnsti-
tution ; he weuia Know xaa uero
the colored youth is "instructed
somewhat of how to -farm, how to
raise pigs, how to begin buying a
little land, a home, how to live , at
home instead of out of the store,
and how to' plant a. garden." If
he had attended the recent com
mencement he would have had an
excellent opportunity of obterving
the progress xnade,by the students
during the past scholastic year
not only in the arts and sciences,
but in farming, dairying, trucking,
wood-working, carpentry, the tne.
chanical arts, etc.
In addition to training the- col
ored youth in those things which
are most essential to his well-being,
a t-r-: i
a normal department uai uecu
added to the work of the college
that colored teachers may come
and spend a few weeks of the sum
mer months in better fitting them
selves for the duties of their voca
tion. This summer ' school this
"summer picnic for men and wom
en, a sporting summer school," if
you please is under the control of
competent instructors, some of the
foremost white educators of the
state lending themselves to the
work. By what other method
would Mr. Bailey have the colored
teachers of North Carolina im
prove their condition? v:
, The president of the college
needs no defence at our hands.
The intelligent people of North
Carolina who have come in contact
with him or his work know that
James B. Dudley is one of the
ablest colored men in the state,
and no xaan is more devoted to the
uplifting of his race. The charge
that he "keeps his bead above
water mostly by politics" is not
supported by facts and falls of its
own weight. I
It is announced en what we pre
sume to be authoritative informa
tion that a combination has been
formed to control the sale of leaf
tobacco in Danville, Va., the largest
loose tobacco market in the world
Eight of the nine Danville ware
houses are said to be in the deal
and the combination is organized
with a capital stock of $1,000,000,
made up of Danville, New York,
and London money. Mr. E. F.
Acree, who has been one of the
leading warehousemen of the city
for years, will be president of the
company, which will operate under
a charter obtained in New Jersey,
the hotbed of trusts. The ware
houses of Danville sell about 50,
000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco a
year nearly ten times the amount
sold in Greensboro -and a small
army of men is required to carry
on the business. The first effect of
this new combine will be to throw
over half of these men out of em
ployment, and we presume the next
step will be to still further reduce
the price of tobacco. This new
deal is no more than should, have
been expected to follow the organi
zation of practically all the manu
facturing plants into trusts, and if
the present rate is kept up it can
be but a few years at least until the
tobacco trust controls the produc
tion as it now controls the price of
the weed" A director of the Amer
ican Tobacco Company has already
spoken of the feasibility of his cor
poration producing its own raw
material, and thus cutting, off the
independent farmer entirely. If
the present tendency of the trusts
is not checked the vocation of the
farmer will soon be gone, and if he
raises tobacco at all he must do so
as the servant of aggregated capi
tal. Then the trust will be trie
complete master of the situation.!
In the. meantime what effort do you'
propose to put forth to stay the
growth of this rapacious monster?
possible terms with the Filipinos is
absolute subjection. ,To this : end
ijis taking the same attitude , and
using the same excuses that might
has always employed in a contest
with right." Depriving the Fili
pinos of tlie blessings of liberty
and the right of self-government
will not be the only blot on Ameri
can civilization if our government
continues Its hold en these people,
for the systfmf iaperialisia, with
all its attendant evils, will be. fast
ened upon us. VThen will the youth
of our country be sent to learn les
sons of murder and barbarism, to
gather and disseminate the vices
and diseases inseparable from mili
tary life, and to fill graveyards in
the tropics; then we will be a'great
assassin nation, with the stain of
patriots' 'blood upon our hands.
But if the people take a hand in
the 'affairs of this government, and
relegate to the rear the present un
patriotic : and un-American rulers
and leaders, this most unfortunate
state of affairs may be avoided.
Captain Clabx, the gallant comr
mander of the United States bat-
tlesbip Oregon, is ( not , . the only
member of his family endowed
with " scrapping propensities. A
few days1 ago his sister, "Mrs. Cut
ter, of South Bethlehem, Pa., dis
covered a brawny Irish woman
clubbing hei highly-bred French
poodle, and when the daughter of
Erin refused to desist she went in
to her house for a revolver. Re
turning with the weapon, she lev
ed it on her pet's assailant, and
was taking aim to fire, when the
poodle was released instanter. By
this act Mrs. Cutter saved'the life
of the canine and proved herself a
worthy member of a fighting fami
ly. The incident' also shows that
a man is not the only person who
will fight for a dog.
The editor of the Biblical Re
corder, in complaining of the ac
tion of the heads of state educa
tional institutions, both white and
colored, in hanging around the
state eapitol in legislative days,
must have forgotten the persist
ency with which he and Brother
John E. White haunted committee
rooms during the last session of
he general assembly.
The public is informed by the
Monroe Journal that the Rev. E.
W. Gatewood will not be able to fill
his appointments for some time to
'come, the reverend gentleman being
confined in the1 Union county jail
under a sentence of four months
and a fine of $100 for retailing
whiskey without a license.
At a meeting of Friends in Phil
adelphia a few days ago William
Lloyd Garrison, bitterly attacked
the American policy in the Philip
pines in the following strong words :
"A government founded on the
principles of theight of the people
to choose their rulers is engaged in
the effort to deprive a distant and
alien' nation of the same right!
With opulent professions of love
of liberty it declared that the only
A Remarkable Accident.
Yesterday's Charlotte Observer
tells of a most horrible accident
which occurred at Bethel, a small
station on the Southern between
Salisbury and Charlotte, Sunday
night. William Parsons, a young
white man of Lenoir, was run over
by the southbound mail, the wheeli
of four cars passing over his body
just below the waist line, com
pletely : severing the limbs and
lower part of the trunk from the
rest of the body. That the man
lived - for over an. hour with his
body completely (cut in two is a
fact which the medical world will
discuss with interest The man's
legs were picked up and placed in
the baggage car; then his body
was put in. : The legs were placed
near the trunk. Seeing them the
injured man inquired what his legs
were doing so far away from his
body.-f:7- vrT'' t "
" Parsons was on his way to Col
umbia, S. C, to enlist in the army
and was beating his way on the
train when he met his death. The
case is one in which science will
be interested, as it is one of the
few, if not the only case known to
the medical profession in which a
man has lived for so long after the
severing of the aorta, the main ar
tery of the body. The fact is ac
counted for in this way: Each ar
tery has three coatings. The in
ner coating became , contracted,
forming an impediment so the
blood could not get out. The man
bled little, comparatively speaking.
He was about twenty-two years of
age. In his pocket was a letter of
recommendation, a photograph of
himself and a letter from his sweet
heart. : ,''

- Hot Time in Old Hcntncky.-
Louisville. ; JCv.. June 1 26. A
continuous performance of howling
farce,1 lasting eight j hours; a rare
vocal entertainment, with soloists
and a chorus of sevsral hundred
voices, declamation and tin horn
tests ; of lung power,! made up the
programme of the sixth day's ses
sion of the Democratic state con
vention, and it narrowly escaped
winding up in an exhibition of
pugilism and markmansnipi From
10 o'clock until 6 today, Central
Music .Hall contained without
doubt the most uproarious and dis
orderly body of men that ever gath
ered together for the : transaction
of political or other business.
Angered by what they considered
an arbitrary ruling of ( the chair, in
refusing to allow an appeal from
bis decision, declaring out of order
a xnotfon to remove policemen from
the hall, over half the delegates
set about with all the energy they
could command to prevent by deaf
ening noise the transaction, of any
further business until they secured
a vote on this appeal. This plan
was successfully carried out until
nearly 6 o'clock, this evining, when,
principally because of utter physi
cal exhaustion, the filibusters 'al
lowed themselves to be outwitted
and the ballot on nomination for
governor, which the chair j had or
dered early in the morning apd had
tried repeatedly to proceed with,
was concluded by having the county
chairmen, or as many as Would,
come to the stage and yell their
votes to the clerk, who sata dis
tance of a few inches and was able
to catch the figures. Before jthey
fairly realized they were beaten, a
second ballott was reached, ' this
time with less tribulation; These
two ballots, both fruitless, repre
sent the day's work of the conven
tion. After they were comDleted
all were glad enough to adjourn
until 10 o'clock tomorrow, j V
The inability of the Democrats
to make any nomination at Louis
ville bat caused Democrats of the
Lexington section to unite in a
strong petition to Rhea, Broneton,
James and other leaders of anti-j
Goebel forces, to make a fight to
ignore Chairman Redwine, elect
another chairman and adjourn the
convention to Lexington, by uniting
the Stones-Harden forces, j It is
urged that no settlement can be
made in Louisville, and unless
something is done the party must
suffer defeat in November. ! i
