The auestion is often aske who was ihc greater, Napoleon Buonaparte orpir auwouu, Scott wrote! the life of Kapo Icon and it was the first elab orate biography of .that man of destiny. no ;was iuu greater, Homer, author of the great Epie poem, or acuihw, the hero of the great drama of historv. upon which that ep 1C "was founded? Who was tin greater, Patrick Henry.tbe ora tor and tribune of the Revolu tion, or Wirt, who crystalized that oratory into biographical hist jry! Unquestionably, th ren of the historian is mightier than the" sword of th warrior. ! So likewise, a for tiori.(as lawyers say) the pen i) mightier than the "rjooct of all evil.' j To illustrate these proposi tions, : North - Carolina has made cnoueh history, to make a large sized library. It has furnished, enough orators to .fill all -the mausoleums of his tory. Win. JR. Davie, was tin orator, statesman and diploma list of the Revolution.; He was the Patrick Henry of North Car olina. Why was not Henry the William R. - Davie of Vir . ginia. Davie was a superior man to Henry. Davie was a Courtly .gentleman of the old tchool, a good lawyer, an able debater, aj representative of - . ... 1 1 .1 our government attne poiisnea court of France.and wore a gen tleman's queue manufactured in Paris. Henry was a bar keep er, a hook-and-line fisherman, a fox hunter, and, as -Mr Jefferson told, Mr. Webster at Monticello in 1820, associated with rowdies in intimate com panionship.; Why then is it that Henrv rides down .the lines of history as the "silver tongued orator of tho Revolu tion and ) Davie is hardly known to our school children? Simply, because Wirts pen vras mightier" than 'Davie's tongue or sword. AH along ;tho line from Davie to Charlie 1 Aycock, orators have been in digenous to North .Carolina soiland at every period of her history. Why do we not know that history by heart? Simply because our pens have been silent amid; the clash arms of and the i process of great events. Now, this' is all wrong. xie inai raises ins uim ramparts fof history, should ride like a panoplied knight down its lines. If North Caro- lina has made history, as she doubtless has, then it is right and- just !that tho. laurels; of history should be twined around her brow. How can the wrong ; bo righted? How can it be condoned before- the august tribunal ,of j history? LiCl -4.1 U i I U Vii UllliU " Set apart in !all "our schools in the State 1 as sacred to our history. Let each pupil select some event in our annals , and ! write a historical essay upon that event, or some one be as signed to jhim for study and composition. Let the teacher select the best essay and pre serve it, and the next, genera tions of North Carolina's sons 'will know more and be proud jr of the grand old . State of ;heir birth and its achivements In the role of history. 0 CUKE C PAT. That I the way all druggist N LOVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TO "J C for MaUria, Chill and Fever.

"pass n. Ho arrived in Elizabeth ity and was given a similar otice- He arrived in.1 Norfolk "a., and .he was beaten, by oxy, probably, tie "got up and dusted'' for Asbury Park I in Jersey and then became . hero, if not a saint, altho not in the calendar of Saints. These circumstances read as La homily on crime. A crime fa n pri'mn VfrV Where. It knows no locality among civ ilized people.- A crime knows no "MnrtVi find no South. At the head af crimes among civ ilized people stands the un mentionable crime. . I The negro Manly was a crimi nal and a fugitive from - Wil mington. He is a hero in New Jersey and his sacred person protected from- imaginary as sault. Why is this thus? Human na ture is the same, everywhere There is an underlying current of inveterate hatred and un reasoning fanaticam, .with a foundation in Republican poli tics 'which is fostered by the Republican policy of ! Republic can Presidents. McKmley ir ritates Southern communities by appointing' offensive color ed men to Post Office -appoint ments, not because of his fond ness.for Southern colored men but because of his hatred of Southern white men and be cause he knows there is a. pub lic sentiment at the North of hostility to the South,that time has. failed to erase. Negroes at Para in Illinois shoot white men in the streets, defy authority, terronize wo men and children, convert a peaceful town into a pande- monium, and President mc Kinlfiv fiats well. sleeDS well and is serene an happy.. The people at -Wilmington, N. C. assemble peaceably, pass reso- lutions.of condemnation upon a negro who. had defamed the character of Southern woman hood in a newspaper editorial, giving him time to get out of the town that he had outraged, and when no reply came to the peaceful proposal, went to the newspaper . office, led by the foremost man of Wilmington, and destroyed it. Then, Mc Kinley is aroused, calls togeth er his cabinet, listens to a call for United States troops to be sent to North Carololina to shoot down white people and overawe, elections, and that is looked upon as all right. There is no doubt that Mc- Kinley would have rejoiced at the opportunity of punishing the citizens of Wilmington if Dan Russell, the odious Gover nor of N. C., had dared , to call or troops. - Not now mucn we can get, out now it tie we can take la. the principle on which we gain patronage everyday. Racket Store.
