WISH By A URGE An audience of about one thous and people. one third of whoa were whit?, heard Booker T. Washington, the melt famous negro the race has prlduced, delivered strong, vlcotous and forcible address in the opera house last night. Washington was one of the stops on a per-ar ranged schedule of the tour through North Carolina, which Dr, Washington with a number of prominent colored men was making. The local arrangements were ltf charge of a committee headed by . rof. \V. O. Saunders, and the va rious members of the party were en tertained In local homes, although a goodly number preferred to remsin In the special car during the night. On the rostrum sat Rev. Mr. Na thaniel Harding, rector Episcopal I church, Rev. Mr. M. T. Plyler, pas tor of the Methodist church; Rev. Mr. W. A. Cleveland of Charlotte, Presby terian minister; Attorney N. L. Sim mons and Prof. N. C. Newbold, su perintendent of public schools, be sides various members of the party accompanying Dr. Washington. From Wilson to Washington, Booker T. Washington and his par ty of prominent negroes louring the state received a continuous ova tion from the member* of their race during the dsy. At Rocky Mount the party was tendered a big recep-1 Uon and Booker Washington address ed sn audience of about 4,000 peo ple in Crew's warehouse, la the au dience were Shout (00 white people, and all applauded Dr. Washington's reference to the duty of the while man In the 8outh. At Rocky Mount the speaker wat> introdnoed In a rather cordial man ner by Mr. Thomas Battle, president [of the Sank of Rocky Mount,, who paid him a high tribute. He llke m stated that the - teaching* of Booker Washington were exemplified ' in the relations existing between the white people and the black people' and that during the past ten years, the negroes were to bo found on the right side of all public questions in their suffrage. By the courtesy of the Atlantic Coast Line offlcialH the accommoda- ' tlon train bearing the special car of' the Washington party was held ten monutes at Tarboro and twevty at farmele, In order to give the large! crowds of white and colored people! who had grthercd aiuopportualty to! see and hear Dr. Washington. At these places lie made brief but < timorous addresses dealing particu larly with questions affecting rural people! That it was the duty of the negro In these rural communities to get the most out of his labor for the benefit of himself and his land lord and that it was much to his In terest to remain on #he farm?. mak ing the attempt more and more to become skilled in his work were some of the points stressed la these short addresses. Bishop George W. Clinton, of the A. M. E. Zlon church, Charlotte, N. C., presented the Individual mem bers of Washington's party, and af terwards presented Rev. C. B Askew who introduced Rev. Mr. Nathaniel Harding, of this city. Dr. Harding Introduced Ifr Washington in compliments: >? r.nguagc, and among other things tilt!: "I have bicn asked by the local I'o^.ratttae of :i:rangements to intro duce to you 11?:-5 evening a man. who under God, has made his e*.va place and fl!ls it in ourytmrelcaa civiliza tion.

"He comes to us, not as a politi cian, not as a demagogue, seeking ?elf aggro ndixement, but as the rec ognised leader of his race. He has sought to lead his people in the paths of moral %nd intellectual npllft and development, and I bespeak for him a cordial and respectful hearing." ? Dr. Washington was gfeoted fcith hearty applause end spoke for about fl hour and a half wDi* course of his remarks, he said:' w-' ? - H* accepting the invttatlor of Bishop Clinton and other prom.ntnt clU?n. .f North $***. , k.r. bet eae obfest la view, aud that la M?il^wn :ople to see for myself lona^f the progress of which I hmliai'M ?m>rn.

"I am perfectly a wire of the fact that there la an elemo^t of our white friends who often refrain from help ing the negro to the ektent they oth-, erwlse would, on account of the bug-. bear of what ia ?nations rnfnrind in) as social equality. I am conatantly j mingling among members of my own . race. North and South, and of all the | subjects discussed that is very rare ly referred to. Let me say as em phatically as I can, that Judging by my experience and observation with ray race, nowhere In this country is it seeking to obtrude Itself on the white race, and especially here in the South. I think you will 3nd that the more sensible the negro is. the more he la educated, the more ne finds satisfaction in the company of his own race. "To a very large extent the prob lem of the negro in the Souinern States is a labor problem? In order tO aecure effective and aatlsfactory labor from any race, two things have got to be borne in mind. First, peo-| pie must be taught a love for labor,, must be taught the dignity of labor and at the same time given proper methods in the direction of skill. Sec ondly, they must have their minds and their ambitions Hwakened t?c that their wants will be Increased. No individual labors except as he has a ' motive for doing so. "The Southern negro want* land,] wantH a house with two or three! rooms In It, wants some furniture, newspapers, education for his chil dren, wants to support the minister' and the Sunday Bchool, and in propor tion as those wants are Increased, he is led to work an Increasing number of days in order to satisfy them. ?*'f v.*e would make the nejjro more useful as a laborer, we must increase his want", w,' must arouse his nmbl ,licn, we maU gtev liim soinothiuK to live f<fr. to hope for. and Just In pro portion as hh wants are multiplied, at a increased >n many direct ors, ro that he will want bettor homes, bet ter furniture, better churches, better schools.. more books, more new spa pets, in tho same degree will he be led to work with nororo regularity and a longer nuraber of days in order .that his increased wants may be sat Isf.ed. The more matter of paying a high wage to an individual, unless his wants have been lncreaaod along sensible and rational lines, does not solve the problem.

Subscriptions Getting Big Values? Campaigners Hard At Work And Anxious to Win After Many Weeks Of Real Effort? Up To The Pub lic Now. Notice All candidate* will be Riven until 4 o'clock tbla evening to report au> supposed error In their vote count; otherwise the published vote stand ing will considered accept as it ap pears. Thl? Is due to the necessity of disposing of the immense pile of clipped coupons that hate been col lected from time to time during the contest. Tbe Hrt Offer. ? Already a^iumber of the candidates have begun the active final campaign for contest subscriptions, and the set offer Is proving a winner yesterday there were three sets turned in by two candidates who have started the per iod off with the proper determina tion. Seta may be formed in many Mays, provided the amounts are In new sub scriptions of not less than $1.50. For instance: One five year subscription: two two-year subscriptions and one for one year; three one year subscrip tions and one two-year; five one years; ten six-months subscriptions; five sU-months subscriptions and three one-years w|l| constitute a set and $1.50 on another set. In other words, there are any number of manners In which a set may he made up, and the money may be turned Into this oflice In any amount at a time, provided only that no subscrip tion for less than $1.50 will be ap plied on a set. Naturally one would think ' What am I to get for the $1.00 subscrip tions?" The answer Is, that on e\ery $1.00 new subscription 100 extra votes are allowed. ?annrmaiiimi m in" "iwww A ballot on a new five-year subscrip tion Is filled out for 7,800 votes. Tben, when It Is received at this of fice certificates are issued for 1.500 extra votes?being 100 bonus votes on each dollar new. Then, when the judges go over the contest records 5.000 extra \otes are accredited. tn the candidate on that particulur scription. The subscription ha* the:, counted for 14,300 VOTES! Think oi it! Almost, but not quit?, equal *o the double vote offer! S**e *he port unity? Manner of Closing There have been several inquiries as to the manner of closing the con test; why it would not be possible for the contest mnnager or some other person to give out Important i"fcr< mation at the last minute; how hal-j lots will be deposited, etc. This will; all be duly explained In ample time, but for the information of those who may wish to know immediately v?> may say that uo person but the can didate*. themselves will know what they have deposited In either money or ballots on subscriptions until the judges begin their final couut. At the exact hour aet for closing the con test, the Judges wll be assembled and In the presence of tbese judfces each candidate will be permitted to deposit all subscription books with the subscriptions and money to cor respond with them, together will nil unvoted ballots, in the ballot bO?. AH Is to be placed in one or two sea! ed envelopes by the candidates before reaching this office, and the enveloo cs are to have only the name of ?ha candidate marked on the outside. When the judges come to these they will be arranged in order, properly entered on the contest and News of Ace records, and the ballots counted by the judges. The judges couvefie for the final count on the first night following the closing of the contest. In the meantime the ballot bos, lock ed and sealed, containing the final results, Is kept In a place of safet> decided upon by the judges. In the issue of the News of the following day will be announced the resutls | of the entire contest. How They sunt One thing Is certain, snd evident to everyone interested, and that is that the race is evrlting. The nearer the finish we get. the nearer we come to being unable to "place a safo bet" on the outcome of the struggle. Not only is this true of the district con tests, but it Is so as regards the chap eron. Affairs have reached * stage where It's aip-and-tuck between tbj WfTIM'Vacond dlstfteU Tbr. the hon ors of the chaperonshlp. But whatever the outcome, remem ber this: FINAL RESULTS ARE GOING TO DEPEND WHOLLY UP ON THE PRESENT PERIOD! Rare ly, if ever before, has there been such a closely contested struggle for contest prizes. That is the reason we can safely say that U all depends upon this last period. To date the race Is apparently even between cer tain candidates in the contest. This Isn't often the case, but It happens to be so in this instance. Also? THERE ARE CERTAIN APPARENT LT WEAK CANDIDATES WHO ARE GOING TO SHOW EVERYBODY A SURPRISE AT THE FINISH! Do we know who they are? W?ll,. we have a pretty good idea quite as has anyone else who has been watching the progress of the contestants Indi vidually as well as collectively.
