The first editorial in this week's Republican organ, the Progressive Farmer, contained an article on the management of the institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind which contain ed the following purported in terview with Prof. John E Ray, principal of the institution. "The law pro vices for a board . of trustees of seven members to manage the affairs of the insti tution over which I .have the honor to preside as principal is is divided into two departments, white and colored. ' These de partments are in separate build ings, on opposite sides city of Raleigh, nearly of the a mile .apart. In selecting the board of trustees to be confirmed in March, 1897, James H. Young was selected with the view of having a colored representative on the board to give special at tention to the colored depart ment. Young was confirmed with the others. Of course he met with the board, and it was his privilege to vote on all ques tions. He generally voted with his party friends, otherwise he avoided interference with the management of the white de partment. He never came there except to attend the board, meetings, more than two or three times. Then he saw me at my office, politely transacted his business and retired. He never served on any committee of inspection of the white de partment. To me he seemed to studiously avoid doing or say ' mg anything that would in the least embarrass any lady. He has always been respectful to me, both in my official and per sonal dealings with him. He resigned about June 1st, and has not attended a board mqet ing in three months. There is not now a colored representa tivo on the board." I he above was shown to Mr. John hi . Ray, principal of the institution, and he was asked "Uia you make the statement contained in the above article?" "Mr. Jjm. Denmark called upon me last week and asked me certain questions which answered," was the reply. 4 'Did you say that Jim Young was selected with the view of having a colored representative on the board to give special at tention to the colored depart ment?' " "I did not," said Mr Ray. "I said that James H. Young was selected by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. I did not say why he was se lected. I do not know. I was not consulted about his appoint ment ana I have never been consulted about the selection of any member of the board "Did voir say it was Young's privilege to vote on all ques tions?" "I don't remember exactly what word I used, whether "privilege" or some other." ' 'What are Jim Young's rights on the board. "The same rights that all other members have." "Did he not have the right as a director to inspect every "de partment of the institution !" "Legally, he did." "Were you present at the meeting of the Board when Jim Young, desiring to break a quo rum for the transaction of busi ness, called to Tonnoffski and said 'Come on George?' "Yes T was there. 1 don t remember the circumstances I do not recall the words he used. I simply know that he and Tonnoffski went out and their going out broke the quo- rum and the board adjourned hemnse there was no nuorum " "Did not Jim Youno-actuallv , make an inspecting tour in the . white institution?" "Not to my knowledge. The house-keeper told me 'that one day he was in the store room in comnanv with President Me- serve, another director, l was awav from the institution at that time. The only three I re call that he "was on the grounds except at Board meetings, were when he came with the other members of the Board to re nresent when the new Duiia- , i .-i -i ing at the white institution was I - - - staked off. I think he was present -when the corner stone was laid, and one morning he came to see me at my office m white building on some matter of business connected with the institution' 'ma vou say that he never served on the Inspecting com mittee at the white institu tion?"

"In what part of the building is the corner stone ot the new institution for the white blind ?' "ii is at tne south east cor ner of the building." . "Is there not a marble slab fronting the street that will stand forever showing under whose administration the' white blind institution was built?" "Yes." "What names are chiseled in that marble?" r "C. T. Bailey, chairman, R. C. Rivers, Chas. E. McNamara, James H. Young, (col.), and Geo. L. Tonnoffski, Tonnoff ski s name coming after Young's 1 hen' the names of the princi- pal, architect and contractor appear. On the other side are the names of the members of the State Board of Education." "Young usually attended the Knnrri mpph ncr V" "Yes." "Where were they held?" "In my office." "Where did Jim sit?" "Jim Young took his seat at the table with the others." "Uoes he vote on matters connected with the white insti tution?" "Yes. I know of no excep tion at all." "Gould hd not, when backed by Rivers, Tonnoffski, and Mc iNamara control the election of every teacher and employe in the w h it e institution for the blind?" our members of the Board constitute a majority and vot- ing together can control the cituiiuu ui itjituuers auu an other employes in the institution."

"Yes, but so far as my memo- ry serves me he has done m- snectinr? at the colored institu- L- tion only." j i "How was it then that your housekeeper remembers that on one occasion Prof. fMeserve, a director, and Jim Young, a di- rector, were together on an in- snectincr tour in the s t o r e - room?

"Was-it not in pursuance of that appointment, in the dis- charge of the duty of inspecting that Prof. Meserve and Jim Young visited the store-room of the white institution, as recall- ed bv the house-keeper?" "I was not at the institution when this visit took place." "On what other committees in connection with the white in- stitution did Jim Young serve?" "On April 19th. he and rrot. Meserve were appointed a spe- cial committee with reference to having the Orchestra attend the Teacher's Assembly , at Morehead City. On May 10th, 1897, he was added to the Building committee, on the first of June he was made a member of the Executive committee, and served on the committee on Buildings and Grounds and was see the State Council about a special appropriation. On Nov. 8th. he was appointed ctn . the I 7 A J- committee to draft resolutions unon j the resignation of Mr. James A. Briggs. On the 14th of March 1897, he wras appoint- ed as a member of the Building committee to erect the tour buildimrs. two for white blind children, and two for the coh ored deaf, dumb and blind children. On May 11th, he was appointed on the committee to prepare for laying the corner stone of the new building for white blind children." "You say that Jim Young was appointed on the commit tee to prepare for laviner the corner stone of the new build ing for white children.

That we do most hear tily condemn the resolutions passed by the late Republican btate convention, which pro vides that the State Executive committee shall have powder to rt . . . 1 take down any Republican nom mee for judicial office, which we allege is subversive of the rights and liberties ot the peo- pie, and in direct violations of . . ... the fundamental principles of the Republican party.

Editor County Union, Dear Sir: Last Tuesday night a storm visited Tybee Island, Ga.. that will be classed with the great storms of eighty one, ninety-three and ninety six. The wind blew for awhile at the rate of nearly a hundred miles an . hour. But two rea sons for the island's not being flooded and the loss of life greater were the storm came at low tide, and the wind was not a regular north easter. None of the N. C. volunteers were lost or injured. However they had little warning of the storm. In fact cottagers had but little time to move their families to Savannah. About three o'clock in the afternoon signals 'were run up by the weather station, and later news came that we might look out for the storm to ap proach at twelve o'clock. Some remained awake till the storm struck their tents. When the storm came a few minutes after twelve o'clock the men of Co. E. and Co. A broke from their tents. Some lay down, oth ers made for cottages, and some for the port. Immediately after the first wind came, it changed around in nearly an opposite direction. This last South wind is the one which demol ished cottages, hotels and wrecked three barques lying off from shore. The only lives lost were Lieut. Morgan and four pri vates of the battery. Their boat was capsized in an effort to rescue the crew of an Italian barque wrecked at the mouth of the river. The soldiers of Co. A and Co. E are doing well with the exception of the results of the storm. The question "when cio vou tninK we will be mus- teredout" is asked by every one spoken to. North Carolina soldiers are of the fighting class.' Now that peace is declared they are fully as anxious to be dis- banded as they -were to enlist to go to Cuba. Truly, E. L. Lee.
