his wish In regard to shortening the

resolution.
Although the word has been passed
around the House that all members
must put their shoulders to the wheel
and shore for early adjournment,
the conferreee on that side do not
seem disposed, to be hastened. They
tiercel? declared this afternoon that

they win never permit the elimina

The Insurgent Republicans who
with the Democarts yesterday nearly
forced the passage through the House
of the railway bill exactly as amend
ed by the Senate fear that In the con
ference the bill will be shorn of some
of Its more radical features. One
of the leaders said today:
"If we find that the ground which
we have gained Is being knocked
from under our feet by the conferrees
we shall try to discharge the con
ferrees and Jam the Senate bill
through. If this situation develops,
the Democrats will have to desert in
greater numbersr than yesterday or
we will pass te'^ptate bill."

Mr. Poe said:
North Carolina needa and must .
have a larger proportion of white
people. The whole Sou th? in fact, la I
?till too apareely aettled. Our eleren
Southern States, excluding Texas. I
support only 16.000,090 people ot
both races, and oiily 10,000,000
white people, while the aame area In
Europe supports over 160,000,000
white people. And it must be re
membered that up to a certain point
which we shall Mot reach for cen
turies yet, agd other things being
equal, prosperity depends upon den
sity Qf population. If you ownod the
continent of North America, but lived
on It Alone, or if a hundred or a
thousand men owned the continent
cad ttved on It alone. It would be
worth practically nothing to them.
Population makes wealth, provided
that it Is normally' intelligent and
'1 . J
Tim Sort of Immigrant* We Need.
Of course, we do not Vant the
lower-class Kurqpean Immigration. If
we can get Immigration- from -Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Cfermany,
Holland, Sweden, etc.,? (Be countries
whose blood has gone to "make up
our vigorous A melrcan ?tock ? It
would be of grest help to us. We
are all of us such immigrants our
selves or descendants of auch immi
grants. From some countries of
Southern and Eastern- Europe, on the
other hand. Immigration la of a de
cidedly lowier order and objectionable
because of a low standard of Intelli
gence and efficiency.
On the very s^me principle, how
ever, immigration of a normal or a
high standard of Intelligence and ef
ficiency Is desirable. Such Immigra
tion c%n be had and ought to be had
? In some measure perhaps from our
English, Scotch, Dutch and Irish kin
folk scares the sea? but chfefl? from
our Northern apd ImWm States.
Jsti*y?P?< ite twtJrtds of thous
ands of the ? most enterprising and,
progressive farmers In the Middle
West tiave been going into Canada
with its long hard winter and bitter
climate, not only giving up American
citizenship, but actually paying two
to three times, as* much for land in
that InhospltsrlHe region - a* land of
the same fertility comrasWds In the
South. We ought to havw brought
these men to the Booth. They know
our institutions, our language, they
are Industrious, thrifty, wide-awake,
and many of them are of Southern
ancestry who should naturally come
back home. Let's bring them back.
fiSinl^ntllOfl to Solve the Race Prob
it mere were no other reason for
advocating such Immigration from.
North and. West. I should favor-]
it as our surest deliverance from our
race porblem. The proi>ortlon of ne
groes to whites is too large in every
Southern State, and my hope is that
ultimately the tides of migration and
immigration will equalize population
until the proportion of negroes in
no 8tate will exceed 20 per cent. We
must train the negro ? the more ig
norant he is the greater the burden
on the South ? tout at best the pro
cess will be slow, and at present It
would probably be not too much to
say that in considering our whole
population, including our great con
structive leaders and captains of In
dustry, the average negro In North
Carolina In economic worth and ef
ficiency Is only half as useful as the
white man. In other words. In mating
general average of efficiency we
should put the white man at 100
and the negro at GO. bo that a coun
ty Jialf wRite and half negro would
have an average efficiency of 75, or
[a handicap of 25 per cent, as com
pared with a county with an exclus
ive white populstion of a normal de
gree of efficiency.
Whether or not the difference is as
much as I have Indicated, certain it
is that the larger the proportion of
whites, the higher the average of ef
ficiency, the more prosperous will be
our every Industry, and the better It
will be for every Individual citizen.

has more than pleased the large au

The leader on the picture program
for tonight Is "Love Among the

'The story of this Biograph produc
tion runs along rather novel lines. It
shows In symbolism the powerful In

more mythical than real and the
scenes- are laid in a land of romance.
The great lady of the land falla In,
love- wtTh ttrt'lowly gardener, while
the great lord loves an humble but
pretty lacemaker. Th? scenic beauty
of the subject has never been equaled
being a series of wonderfully beauti

splendidly acted, and perfect In every

The last Sunday in May closed the
first year's work of Rev. R. v. Hope,
pastor of the Christian Church.
Judging from comments heard on
the report which was ftled last Sun
day, the year's work was a successful
one. There were 52 new members
added to the church record during
the year, and It Is clear of all debt
?nd In excellent financial condition.
The pastor, while yet a young man.
has shown his ability to come up to
the requirement# of his calling and
has endeared himself to the mem

HAT FIGHTS TWO SPARROWS.
Crowd In Busy Brooklyn Street Sees
Odd Combat.
Brooklyn, N. Y.. June 10. ? A half
grown rat, evidently escaped from
one of the hadnsomc dwellings on
Montague street, started yesterday to
1 visit Court street. For a block It ran
along the curbing until It reached
the Mechanics' Bank Building. There
J two sparrows saw and to the
amazement of persons pasaing,
promptly pounced upon it.
Then ensued a remarkable combat.
Tlys sparrows began a combined at
J^ack upon the rat that put It on the
" defense. In rain the rat tried to bite
Its opponents. It sat upon its haunch
es and snapped its teeth, but the spar
rows kept out of reach, and angered
It more by darting suddenly upon It
and grabbing It by the tall, upsetting
it, to the amusement of a big crowd.
After ten minutes' of fighting the rat
sought to escape. Little by little it
fought its way against Its winged as
sailants until It reached the corner
of Court and Montageu, where it
darted down a sewer, leaving the
furiously twittering upon the
