0)lf Ulljoiljum SUraril THURSDAY, SEPT. 26, 1007. n A. LOUDON, Editor. Old students o the University of North Carolina will read with peculiar pleasure the "History of the University of North Carolina 1789-1868" written by Hon. Kemp P. Battle and just published. It is a handsomely bound volume of 880 pages and contains a detailed history of that venerable institu tion of learning of which all North Carolinians have cause to bo proud and to which all her alumni are so devoted No one is so well equipped to write such a history as Dr. Bat tle, who- has done more for the University than any other person now living and to whose untiring efforts is chiefly due its resuscita tion after its doors had been clos ed for several years under the blighting inisrub of the Republi can party in this state. This his tory of the University is also a history of our state and her most eminent sons, and gives a graphic insight into the social life and habits of the period which it em braces. His descriptions of the antebellum commencement and the participants therein wi.i tie read with especial pleasure by all those who have ever attended one of those delightful occasions, which (in the language of Dr. Battle) "have produced mure elo quence, brought together more distinguished men and beautiful women, provided a more abundant supply of unadulterated fun, and married off more congenial coup les than any other similai occas ion, in the land." There is miuli force in the old saying "It depends on whose ox is gored," and people are apt to change their minds when they aie injuriously affected by something heretofore approved by them. i his was illustrated last week at the meeting in New Yrk of the publishers of the United States when the increased price of white p;iper was discussed. The big paper trust has greatly increased the price of vhite ; nper (on which newspapers are primed) and a still further increase is threatened. lu Canada the price is much less than in the United States, but our publishers cannot buy paper in Canada ami bring it here without payiug a heavy ta'ifl" tax on it. This meeting of publis hers therefore very promptly adopted th following ro.solutioi ; "That it is the souse of this meeting that the duty on printing paper, wood pulp and all material iertaiuing to the manufacture cf printing paper be immediately reduced." This resolution was voted for by Republican publishers as well as by Democratic publishers. These Republican publisher, who are opposing a revision of the tariff on other articles, are mighty willing to have the tariff revised and reduced on printing paper used by them! Such seems rather selfish in our Republican publishers. While they admit and demand that the tariff needs revision "where the shoe pinches them" on paper , used by them they ought also to be willing, as de mauded by the Democrats, that . there should be a revision of the tariff on other articles also. Another United States Senator is in trouble and is being tried for conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment out of a large body of land in Idaho. This senator is William E. Borah, of Idaho, who was one of the prosecuting attor neys in the recent trial of Hay wood jn that state. He as the third United States Senator who has been tried for crime within the past year or two. The other two were Senators Bur ton, of Kansas, "and Mitchell, of Oregon. Tt is needless to add that all three were Republican senators. The. election in Oklahoma last week resulted in a complete vic tory for the Democrats and for prohibition. The latter is estab lished by a constitutional amend ment. All the state officers are Democrats and four out of the five Representatives in Congress. The two Senators will also be Demo crats, one of whom is a Cherokee Indian .and the other is a blind An important meeting will be held at Atlanta, Georgia, week after next. It is the international conference of cotton growers and cotton spinners. A large number will attend from all the principal countries of Europe. The visitors from abroad are coming in re sponse to invitations from the American manufacturers and growers of cotton. These foreign visitors will represent ninety mil liou spindles. There will also be at this meet ing representatives of the giuners, the coin press companies, the cot ton exchanges and all the impor tant interests allied to. the great i cotton trade. We sincerely hope that so im portant a meeting will result in greatly benefiting all who are in terested in the Southa great staple. President Roosevelt will start next Sunday on quite an extended trip and will be absent from Washington for more than three weeks. It is to be regretted that one so high in authority should start on such a trip on Sunday and thus set such a bad example to others. Most of his time will be spent hunting, from the 5th to the 21st of October. He and his party will --M?p out in an almost inaccessi ble wilderness in the northern part of Louisiana and for awhile turn their backs on civilization aud let the government run itself. Well, it may surprise our very strenuous. President to find out, after his hunting trip is over, how well his services were dispensed with! Good Cotton Farm a Gold Mine. From ilie Waxhaw Enterprise. Few of us ever stop to consider what the cotton crop really means to the people of the South. We all know it is our great money crop, but do we realize how much mon ey it is fairly pouring into the South every year? Our auuual income from this sourse alone i.. far in excess of the entire gold aud silver products of the wholr world. It is no wonder, then, that the South is rapidly becom ing one of the richest sections ol this great country. At the present rate, it will, iu a few mo'v ears, be oue of the very richest untri es oil the siobe. Every iarmei why has a i;ood cotton farm, aud iuoA-s how to manage it weli, ha veritable utU mine rijjht at hi. door. If the farmers will jn.-t stick together and hold up the price, there can be no doul-t about wht the future of the Southern jotton farmer and south will be. And why not stick together? They have a monopoly on the vo id's supply of cotton. Woman Aad Boy Drowned. Special to Charlotte Obaorver. Hertford, Sept. 22. Hannah Spruili and her graudsou, a boy about 10 years old, were drowned in ki:iner' ereek at the edge of the town Friday about noou. Hannah, with her husband who is quite id, and this boy, were coming to iowi to meet the boy's mothlir who was expected on the train In crossing the bridge the mule which they were driving became unruly and hacked Uio. cu t off the bridge. All were thrown into the water, at that place nite dep. The man succeeded in clinging to the cart and was saved by some other negroes who Were close behind them. The boy in his fright caught his grandmother around the arms uud both were drowned. A Centennial Terrapin. -iperlal to Charlotte' Observer. Greensboro, Sept. 21 Mr. F. A. Tate, a farmer residing a few miles from the city, is the poss essor of a venerable terrapin found on his farm Thursday. The farm on which the terrapin was found originally belonged to Mr. F. F. Harvey, and on the back of the tarrapin nearly fifty years ago he ent the following: '"J. F. H., 1861." The letters are distinct and the terrapin is as lively as a cricket. From the fact that the letters still look fresh Mr. Tate reasonably concludes that the terrapin,, which is a very large one, was full grown in 18G1 and must be a centenarian. He will be preserved for C4reeasboro's cen tennial celebration next year. Two of the many good articles m the Woman's Home Companion for October deserve special men tion Jack London's "Riding the South Sea Surf," an animated description of that "Royal Sport for the Natural Kings of Earth," and Anna Ste.ese Richardson's "The Influence of Women on Business." Mrs. Richardson,- her self a most successful business woman, is telling. the hard -.truths connected with woman's entrance into the field of business, m a series of three remarkable articles, of which this is the second, on The Womair iu Business. . ' Washington Letter. f From Our Kogular Oof respomieut. Washington, D. C, Sept. 19. Attorneys for the State of North Carolina today placed in evidence Tho Navy Department admits before the standing master in tile that it has accepted tenders for rate case the result of their exam about 100,000 tons of coal from iuation of the books of the South English contractors, principally ern Railway. 'Among this appear for the use of the battleship ed several vouchers showing the squadron on its journey to the Southern's payments to newspa Pacific. This arrangement has of pers for advertisements and other course excited much - adverse purposes. comment in this county, but it is The most striking item wns the simply a case of the government vouchers to The Raleigh Evening doing what any private party Times,' aggregating 6,000 for the would do, buying in the cheapest year 1906. The .vouchers, are for market. And the American con-! "advertising" aud "special noti tractors have themselves to blame ces." Two were paid to John O. for the opportunity being opened to the foreign bidders. There has been an organized attempt on the part of the coal magnates to "hold up" the government on coal con tracts. Tho coal consumption of this country in the past year has been greater than ever before, but the reports of the Mineral Res ources division of the Geological Survey show also that the produc tion has been greater than ever both in anthracite and soft coal. There have been no strikes, there his been no car shortage and not more than the usual v freight congestion, but there has been a cry from all the mining companies of a shortage- in coal, the cry being preliminary to the raise jn price which promptly followed. lhere have been threats also of an advance in the price of hard coal for domestic use, an advance over anything that this country has ever suffered before. There is no apparent economic reason for this move, and the officers of the Navy Department have done the natural and sensible thing in going abroad for coal when they could get it. Such persistent grinding of the unfortunate con sumer can lead to but one thing and that is further government action against the extortionate combines of one sort and another which protected by an insurmoun table tariff, will exact the last penny possible from the helpless "common people" for the bare necessities of life. The death was recorded 'in Washington this week of Maj. Ja'jaes Carroll, U. S. A., the last but one of the famous yellow fever commission which develop ed the "mosquito transmission" theory of yellow fever iu Cub;: just after the close of the Spanish War. The Lead of this commission was Maj. Waltei Reed, curator of the Army Med ical Museum in Washington and one of the greatest experts on tropical diseases iu the country. vVith him as second iu rank was Dr. Carroll. The honor of dis covering the mosquito method ol transmission was about equally divided between these two officer?. It is hard to give more- credit to fhe one than to the other, but Dr. Carroll was the man who offered himself as a sacrifice when the theory was to be put to its final test. He allowed himself to be bitten by an infected mosquito that had been feeding on yellow fever cases and he developed the disease within four.days. The dis covery of vaccination against smallpox or tie discoveiy ol anaesthetic and antiseptics has enabled tbe authorities for tie first lime to utdersiiandinly tight yellow fever which had cost millions of dollars and thousands of lives in this country atone. Dr. Carroll was a martyr to st i jnee, for he never recovered his he ilth aud died of a bacterial disease ol the heart that was a direct result of lus experiments. Dr. Carroll had a remarkab'e career and one that ought to l e an incentive to any poor boy. He was born iu England, had a good ordinary school education and catna to this country where he enlisted in the medical corps of the army. He was an expert microscopist and worked up in the service, being sent final lv to Cuba and being rewarded for his work there by a commission as first lieutenant in the Medical Corps. It was not till about a year ago that he was promoted by special act to the rank of major and unfortunately soon after that he was str cken with his i.luess. His medical achievement can scarcely be overestimated. The Nav Department has re ceived confirmation of the report from Tokio of the disastrous explosiou on the Japanese .battle ship Kashima resulting in the (lea; h of 32 aud the wounding of 11 men iiud officers.- The condo lences of the President and of the secretary of the Navy were prom ptly transmitted to Japan. The accident was peculiarly interesting to officers of the American navy, following as it did in the wake of the numerous disastrous exp losions in the turrets of American warships. The Japanese govern meLt is very secretive about the details of all such accidents and it is not definitely known whether the disaster was the result of a "flarebaek" jsnch- as has been responsible for so many disasters in the Amerit an navy, or whether it was owing to the deterioration of the 1 anions sh'amoee -povvder with which th Japanese shells are loaded. The bursting powder of these shells is said to be terri fic and was exemplified in the destruction wrought on the Russian vessels in the-latc war. Big Pay for Newspaper. Correspondence of The Charlotte Observer. Washington, Sept. 23. Drewry as president of the Visi tor Publisbinr Company, whicu publishes The Times, and the other reads to The Times, each voucher being for $2-000. The State's attorneys also plac ed in evidence for comparison tho , vouchers of payments to The' Charlotte Observer for advertis- j iugaud special notices and those j of The Washington Post. The! Observer's vouchers for the year j 1906 aggregate 352, and The Washington Post's $1,032. The attorneys also pointed out the fact, which they declare is significant, that in the case of The Observer and The Washing ton Post ihe vouchers are accom panied bv duly rendered bills, fshowiifg the details of thrt gdver- tisements and the clippings from the papers, showing that the ad vertisemeuls were printed. Iu the c se of the payments to The Times no such bills are attached to the touchers, the payments purpoiting to be "seitl?ineu of account to date" when the money was paid.

There was great excitement one clay some years ago at a small Rus sian pert on the Baltic. The cap tain, of a newlv Arrived foreicrn ves sel was arrested for the alleged crime of having attempted to bring a large number of dynamite bombs into the country' of the czar. They brought the unhappy man before the judge, who happened to he one of the few intelligent men in the town. "Where are the bombs?" said the judge. "On board the ship," said the po lice. "There is a small cargo of them." "Go and fetch one," said the judge. "It is dangerous to touch it,3 said the police. "I- cannot convict," said the judge, "unless 1 have the material evidence. Bring me a bomb." With much trepidation and many precautions they at last brought one on a cushion of cotton wool. The judrre laughed a most unjudicial laugh. "That," he said, "is a cocoanut." And so it was. A Long Game. In the summer of 1S40 Henry Clay went to Kentucky on his vaca tion. Throe nights after his arriv al at a certain springs a sociable game began. In the game, were Mr. Clay, Josia'i Blackburn, John Hardin and Sam Clay, a cousin of the statesman. It. began on Friday night and ran along with varying luck. They were all old hands and had the nerve to back their cards. At 12 o'clock Saturday night Black burn quit a little ahead. He had been married only two months and was afraid his young wife would think ho was dead. .Sunday morn ing at 9 o'clock some one rapped on the door, it was opened, and a ne gro girl stood in the hall. She had a clean shirt in her -hand, andon the . bosom was a note from Har din's wife, "For Mr. John Hardin, wherever he can be: found." The door was closed and ,play resumed. Hardin changed his linen at the table. The Turkey Buzzard. Some one has taken the trouble to search out an attribute of beau ty, in the common and repulsive looking bird known as the turkey buzzard. ". His -flip-lit is said to be; the perfection of aerial navigation, and the manner in which he floats upon the still, soft air of the south ern chines" is a dream of grace and : loveliness. Bat when 'he alights ; poetry take its flight and the mar veioiis scare- is found -to be the' homeliest and most unattractive of. birds. His tastes are "low, for he is ' a natural scavenger. He is b.ild, j scraggy, rusty, looking, awkward and rep-.il si ve. Pride seems to l.avo been left rv.it of his nature, and his .manners are simply atrocious.

'For the inflamed eyes," said the -benevolent physician, ''dissolve as much boraeie acid as you can put on a ten cent piece in half a glass of water." . . "Thank you, doctor," murmured the patient, turning away. A mo ment later, however, the office door wasopened, and the patient sidled in. . - - "Say, doc' said he, with an in gratiating smile, "where do I get the ten cent piece?" . The Faith of a Celestial. A Chicago gambler, whose first name was George, used to visit a Chinaman's establishment and smoke -opium and gamble almost daily. One day he rushed into the place and said excitedly: "Hip, loan me $10. Thanks. I'll come in and pay you tomorrow noon if I'm alive." And out he went with the money. About 3 o'clock the next afternoon a friend of the gambler dropped in on the Chinaman and raid, "Hip, where is George today?" , and the confiding Celestial wiped his eys with the corner, of his j blouse and replied, "George, Bun 3ead."
