THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1906. i H. A. LONDON, Editor. The one hundred and eleventh annual commancement exercises at the. University of North Caro lina were held last week and were much enjoyed by all who attended them. All friends of higher education should feel gratified at the pres ent flourishing condition of our State University. The past year has been its most successful in its long career of usefulness. Its students have been more in num ber than ever before, its standard of scholarship higher, its facility ' BJUie UUIUrivU" nuvi .v- j ! tnont of its students better, lu'e ' . : new chemical library is completed j and will hp equipped for service . by the &egjmiing of the next es- j . .i i..:u: oii'Uf . jr- i " ' j c? n j i a to tii nniv i i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' i at the' University that has ever been built by an appropriation of the Legislature, Home mouths ago Mr. Andrew Csirnecie offered to give the Uni- ersity $5U,(KK) for the ei - t j a library building if nn additional $50,000 would be raised for its endowment. President Venable announced at the meeting of the alumni association, held on Tues day of commencement, that $45, U00 of the required endowment had been raised, and steps were at once taken to raise the needed $5,000. It is hoped that the pro posed library building will be completed next year. One ot the most pleasing inci dents of com men cement was the conferring of the University's highest honiaiy degree (that of J.Au 1). ) on President Poteat of AVake Forest and President Smith of Davidson College. Such acts as this will draw closer the kind ly relations that should always exist between the Sute'& Univer sity and the denominational col leges. Hereafter "commencement day" will be the first Tuesday in June, instead of the Wednesday before the first Thursday in June as heretofore. Jr there was a Presidential elec tion this year there is no doubt that Hon. William Jennings Bry an would be nominated as the Democratic candidate almost with out opposition. Although a Pres ident will not be elected until 1308, yet already several State conventions have declared for him. Not only that, but prominent Democrats who had opposed him iu 1896 and 1900 are now advocat ing his nomination. He will re turn early in August from an ex tended trip to Europe and Asia, ami will be welcomed on his arrival at New York with a grand ovation, when he is expected to make a most notable speech. Senator Simmons should feel highly gratified at the unanimity with which he is !eing endorsed lor re election. Nearly every coun ty convention thus far held has by a unanimous vote endorsed him for re-election to the Senate, aud he will no doubt be re-elected without opposition. This endorse ment of Senator Himmons is well deserved by him, nnd shows that be is properly appreciated by the best people of this State. It should be very gratifying to all North Carolinians, regardless of party, to note the high stand taken iu Congress hy both of our Senators, both Simmons aud Over man.

About two weeks ago a negro was caught climbing over this high wall and scared away by one of the operators. Three nights after wards, one of the youug ladies stepped into the back lot lroui the office, she was confronted by a v - m u n ' negro man.

Mr. Edison, while here talked of his search and its fruits,1 stat ing that he had been entirely suc cessful, having located rich beds of the mineral, of which he was in search, sufficient quantities of it having been found, he declared, to insure a great reduction in the cost of operating automobiles and to reduce the weight of their stor age batteries 50-per cent.

The packers have at last coma into the open to fight the meat inspection provision of the Agri- cultural bill as embodied m the Beveridge amendment,. And the chances are that they will win th day finally as great business ih te rests usually do when they un dertake to bring influence to bear on Congress. Chairman Wads worth and his associates on the Agricultural Committee gave a heaving this week to Mr. Thos. E. Wilson, one of-the representa tives of the packers. There were present at the hearing Secretary Wilson, Dr. Melvin of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Mr. Neil I, Commissioner of Labor und';trie joint author of the row famous Neill-Reynolds report. All of the big Chicago packers constituting the Trust had with their usual thrift assigned Mr. Wilson to' speak for them,. and: he played the dew-excuse nie-packers' ad vocate, to t'ae best of his aoility. The session was warm at times. He flatly contradicted the report loss if lihVamotfutiug to tens of of Messrs.. Neil I and Reynolds as . thousands.
