In view of the determination of the republicans to go in for ship subsides in their platform, it is. decidedly ungrateful and untimely of Mr. C II. Cramp to propose takiug off tariff taxes ag tlw Peal need of shipbuilders. Iu an iuter- 1 view in the Philadelphia Leader, be says: x “Without raw material free of duty, it is impossible to build steamships of the type of the Lusitania aod Mauretania in the United States and place them on the ocean in competition with Eng laud and their foreign countries.” He abided that he bad wuiked for the tariff for "years, but was now convinced that it was inappli cable to the shipping industry. “We levy a tax upon all goods that come into this country, but yon can’t do that with ships, and there is the story.'7 Mr Cramp was even so cruel as to deny that cheaper materials would mean lower w&ges. “We would still pay high prices for skilled work, but w ould expand our market and add greatly to the number of men em ployed,’’ This is rank blasphemy in the eyes of all good protection ists, and something ought to be done to punish Mr.‘Cramp We suggest that he be forbidden to1 contribute again to the republican fund.— $few York Post. MENELIK AT HOME. The Alliance Israelite, an iuter national Jewish organisation, with headquarters in Paris, recently sent M.

It’ covei-s an area of nearly forty j thousand square feet artf is hung with carpets.

It was by uo means austere, and consisted of biead, sardines and a salad'of green capsicums. A curtain of red velvet separated the august diners from the common people. At the end of the banquet the curtain was withdrawn and champagne was served. One must not take his notions of the refined tastes of the Abyssiuiais from their appreciation of champagne, rays M.

The easiest and most convenient method to obtain the much wanted band stand to be located at the commons is by securing contribu tions, either by giving open air concerts or lawn fetes. By* tnese methods the amount contributed by the public would not be felt and at the same time go towards a worthy cause. Some time ago the Daughters of the Confederacy offered a solution for the erection of a band stand, and perhaps by cooperation this building may be obtained. The Southerner urges the erection of a baud staud for the -benefit of the public. To the Normal Students of Edgecombe County. As the representative of the Edgecombe County Normal Asso ciation, sent to the annual Alum nae meeting at comment meat, May 2t>tb, I want to give a full report of the work that is being undertaken and carried on by the Association. The great wort', as you probably know, is the raising nf a Joan fund to'becalkd ^he Mclver “Memorial Fund to aid worthy students, who are pot able to take advantage of what the college offers. Our aim now is $“>0,000. This seems large, but we want to do large things. What is the purpose or-tMs Loan Fund? To give some idea of the good that this fund can do, I will state thar the present Alum nae fund amounts to $15,029.75, which is loaned in amounts rang ing from $10.00 to $125.0q to students who could not possibly continue their education without; this help. This jear out of the graduating of forty seven mem bers, one tl ipd of them borrowed from the loau funds. These girls gbe ihek poles for the tmount borrowed aud are not charge1 interest until they begin work,' aud pay the amount back in small ' payments. Ihe present Alumnae Fund helped liltyoue girls this year, autl the total- number aided by the Alumnae Fond and scbolaiships was fifty one. The amount of money Joaped this year was $4, - 494.15, These are interesting facts and if t*'ese girls are willing 4o burden themselves with a debt in order to get an education, it seems that we might help raise this fund. The plan of the work was ful y dis cussed at the meeting and repoits from the County Associations were made. Twenty two conptie < have organized, two of which pouufies have pledged $1,000 each. The other pWdges range from $100 to §500. fJJie amount pledged is $7,500. The pledgrs aie covered partially by persoual notes (two year notes. What has Edgecombe county, which has had seventy six etu dents at the college and sixteen graduates, done? We have done nothing, but we must do ?otg thing at once. Why should Edge combe county be interested in this work, you might ask. For the speeja' reason that the money that is given by iEdgecombe county will be used to help worthy girls from Edgecombe county._Jt is one 0 the pm posts of our Association to lied out girls who are rfot able to go to college and help them. We hope this Summer to have a Normal Day probably, having 'lie Field Seen tary of the Associa tion to talk to us and get the j citizens of the town aud couuty I interested in our work. We want and need their help and support. It is a worthy cause, and I hope th it every Normal student wifi j feel it her duly to interestothers iu_ the work and help us by her in terest as well eg her pledge. We must make a good pledge at ouce. If you have any suggestions to i«ake would le glad to know them. Very truly yours, Emily Semple Austin, Pres Edgecombe Normal As so. June 23rd, 1908.

Sherman, Teddy’s Taft’s running mate is known iu bis dis , trict and^ some other parts of New York as Pound Package Jim, and he was wrapped up labeled and delivered to the nominating eon vention just as much asTaf' was.

KU KLUX AND NIGHT RIDER.— The June number of Uncle Re j mus’s—The H°me Magazine con i tAias two articles which may stem j at first glance, to treat o£ ^tther i similar condit ions; the Sixth In s'uUmeut of Mr. John C. Reed’s stoiy of' the Ku Klnx Klan, of which he was one of the leaders, and au article on the Kentucky Tobacco*W ar, by Mr. J_Siaughter Carter. But in reality the likeness is merely in the more less picture sque tact ot the existence of Night riders. TVe purpose of the ICq Kin* Klan was iq rid the South ern States of an era of governmen talcorruption agaiost any futqrp attempt at pfgrp dopilpatiou in a political way. The question of white supremacy was propounded iu a very eouerete fashion, and was unhesitatingly answered by the South rners of the seventies; they used force and trickery to over throw a rotten regime, furnishiatr qnqfcber example of that paradox which has beep expressed several times in the history of the Anglo Saxou ra^e- illegal action for the purposo of protectiog essential legality. There may be, and doubt less are, various opinions ns tq the justification qi the Ku KluxKlan’s existence and operat ions. But with regard to the Night riders, while the explanation for the existence is obvions -enough the task of jusftfjipg it irseareeiy possible.

MANY LETTERS RECEIVED. 'With the announcement in the Southerner two weeks ago, that the school board was contemplat ing theerectior of a $30,000 build ing for Tarboro, a flood of letters from bonding companies and architects and contractors has been received by both Mayor Jones and J. 4- Weddell. Evi dently these parties forget that be fore any definite plans will be decided upon, the Legislature must pass a special act and the citizens vote upon the question of issuing bonds. The Uses of a City Church. The Church of AH Hallows, London Wall, presents a strange appearance every morning. The buildiug is opened early for the accommodation of girls and women who arrive in the city by the “workmen’s” train6, which fre quently are run at such hour as to compel the passengers to make a long wait after arriving in the city for their places of business to open, A short servioe is conducted, and then the congregation is permitted and even encouraged to employ themselves with needlework or with reading.

Not According to Rule. Whether the name of Sherman will add to the ticket’s strength even in his own Statejis doubtful, though that was assumed to be the casein the uonventioo, since there is uo evidence that he has popular support elsewhere.

A dirigible balloon, says-the Countess Lydia Rostoptsolxine, in her woak entitled “The Destruc tion cf Moscow in 1812,” was not unknown to the great Napoleon. A German, Frtmz Leppich, who was born in Aludestrin in 1775, thought he knew how to build an airship, and having been success ful iu the construction of many queer mechanical contrivances from pianos to road wagons, he laid bis airship plans before NapoleoD, with a view to selling his secrefc to the empire. Na poleon rejected the ofler and for bade further work on the balloon. The man then went to St. Peters burg and succeeded iu interesting the Czar Alexander. Count Rostoptschine, the great grand father of the writer, was at that time Governor of Moscow. In the papers left by him was this mem orandnm under date of August 6, 1813: “The Emperor has com manded me to secure the services of the German engineer, Leppich. He is to construct a balloon \tfth capacity to carry at least 50 persons and so made that it can fly with or against the wind.” Under the name oi Scmidt the engineer obtained a workshop near Moscow. Here the airship from which Moscow was to have been fired was built. Leppieh failed to perfect the a work, and had to flee, and other means were employed to fire Moscow. ETHNOLOGY OF THE JAPANESE. “The Japanese of today,” said Dr. IT. G. Monroe, of Chicago, at the Shoreham last night, “are a mixture of Mongolian invaders, Malaysian and Negrito settlers in the South, and a small tincture of Ay ran stock, probably Persian, with a blending of the original Ainus, whose women were cap tured by the Yamato people, and who came about 2,000 or more years ago and occupied the fertile alluvial valleys of Central Japan. These Yamato people were largely Mongolians from Asia, but their leaders were undoubtedly of Ayran stock, judging from thp facial characteristics of the clay images found in the ancient stone walied grave chambers of the chiefs.” Dr. Monroe said that the prehistoric Japanese is not the Japanese of today, and more than the prehistoric American, the aboriginal Indian, is the American of today. He has who’ly different skull formation and features. Dr. Monroe based his discoveries on 18 years of painstikiug work in Japan.— , Washington Herald. —McKinley Garry and Hanna Garry were pages at the Republi can National Convention last week.

Avoid ice water if you would be considerate of your stomach this hot weather. That is the advice gneu by the best physicians. In their opinion the chilling of the stomach with ice water and other iced drinks is one of the most fre quent causes ol summer stomach disorders. Ice cold beyerages may be taken safely by sipping, letting them become warm in the mouth before swallowing. But when gulped down they excite tlie stomach, causing a rush of blood to that organ, followed by a feel ing of depression and faintness. No animal will drink ice water.. Nature teaches them better, say they. Water and other drinks w hich are just cool, or even luke varm, are tar more refreshing and invigorating, although they may not please the palate at once. Power Begets Responsibility. As a nation increases in popula tion, wealth and power, its influ ence spreads apace and cannot bo limited by artificial means. Every nation of any prominence is a world power and its power must be iu proportion to its wealth and strength. We cannot escape the exercise of our power or our re sponsibility, whether iu Cuba, in Panama, in Venezuela, or in che Philippines. It is necessary to our own peace and prosperity that we do our utmost to make our neigh bors peaceful and prosperous. The conditions now prevailing in Pan ama are such as have, at various times, existed in Mexico, in Cuba and in the South and Central American Republics whenever there was a president to be chosen. The President of Panama seems to have been somewhat imitative in his methods, and has used the Pennsylvania plan of fixing things and has amployed his office to deprive the opposition of th$ir votes This sort of practical poli tics is not rare in the western hemisphere or even in the United States and it has been a fruitful source of revolution, for what>the other side ip unable to get by votes it usually tries to obtain by guns. If the United States must interfere in Panama, it will have to main tain control just as England has had to maintain control on India, in the Transvaal, in Egypt, just as we are now controlling in Cuba, and in all probability will have to continue that control. Our canal interests in Panama are too great to have them subjected perpetual political earthquakes. 1 Funeral Directors an Embalmers. 1 {HARDWOOD METALLIC CLOTH COVERED AND EXTRA SIZE CASKET3 STEEL GRAVE VAULTS AND MONUMENTS f.
