THE OBSERVER. TUUitaOAV MAY 21, 1903 FAYETTEVILLE N. C. 1. 1 BALI.Idltoraa Proprlator. B, J IALI, Jr.,Otsirl Business Xang'r Istabllshe la 111! bv I. Jf. Hals, Ir. THI BI4I0I WBT. An esteemed Democratic contempo rary saysi "Some contemporaries are discos .!.. iU. ..I.i;.. ..iJ Jui ha lAlinii straight party tick at and votiog a soratcbed ticket. Tbore ia something to be aaid on both aidea. Wbat ia bard to nnderatand ia where the (rood cornea in in running an independent ticket with not a ghost of aobanoeof success, and yet declaring nntil tbo end of the count that tbere ia do possibility of any ouloome bat a rig rial sdccpsj. In other word, why not simplify matters by outing one's vote with one or tbf niher of the two dominant parties 1 Tbere ia no good reason wby a repub lican at heart should not be a republi on in name." The reason why those in the Sonth who oppose democratic principles and the Democratic platform remain in the Demooratio party, is two-fold. Tbere are, first, the hirelings of the dominant intereata of the Republican party who train witb the Demooracy only to be tray it. And then tbere is that con siderable body of respectable indos trial and business nen whose interests, or supposed interests, are helped by protective tariff.', by trusts, and by the praotioe of the other fundamental principles of (be Republican party, but who would be ashamed to eall them selves Republicans, because, in the Bontb, the Republican party ia known carpet baggers. It will be a long time before the followers of Lie and Johns ton forgot the part which tbe Rrpabli can party played in the Reconstruction period. In the Southern States, tbe Republicans were oppressors of the r neighbors and violators of all that wis good and true. There is nothing, tbe normal man must hold, more despicable than the act of those who taks sides witb their country's enemy when that ooontry is beneath tbe enemy's heel. But while the reason is plain for tbe course of tbe McKinley "Democrats," they cannot be justified in any degree if they use tbe cloak of Democracy only to it j are its rightful owner. If one oalls himself a Democrat, in tbe South, because it is respectable, while at heart be is a Republican, hooor ri quires that he at least keep silent and pisMve in politics. tlTUIT FlftlT 1TIKI Sivents-First, May 18. 1&03 The excuse of nothing to "write about" cannot truthfully be rendered by your correspondent: most of tbe days hire brought eome event worthy of record by an idle pen and tbe perfect beauty of the Maytime has suggested a myriad of thoughts and fancies to an indolent mind, but they have been allowed to go ttloog with the swiftly passing time. Pardon ntzxoi, s'll vons plait T Tbere ia nothing atnkiog to Bay now; the busy bam of life sounds no louder here than elsewhere, and the "street cries" are not very close together. Tbe latter have been keyed to staccato tones lately because of tbe excitement of two marriages Tbe first was that of Miss Christian Gil ts to Mr. Arthur Richard son on tbe 29 b of April; tbe second that of Miss Willa Ray to Mr. Paik r on tbe C b of May. Both were very quietly celebrated. We are glad to state that Miss Mag gie Qillia is rapidly recovering from ber recent severe illness. Mra. Bella Williams, who baa been visiting at Mr. A. D. McGill's has gore to Fayettoville for a short visit. A special train was run from Bone's Creek to Raeford last Tuesday on ae eount of tbe Commencement there. About seventy-five of our people avail d themselves of tbe opportnnity of pending a very pleasant day. Tbe cxerciaea in the morning were interest ing, being original speeches by tbe bays of the graduating class. Tbey were good and delivered with an ease and grace that wonld do credit to men of older growth. In tbe afternoon tbere was an address by Prof John Bethune Carlisle of Wake Forest. The orator waa introduced by Mr. J. H. Carrie, who did it as well aa be alwaya does things, and tbe address that followed waa one of tbe best we have ever heard. It waa along eduoational lines, Data rally; bat was tuned to a higher pitch and eoared to broader plaoea and deeper thoughts than most speeobca of that eharaoter. It waa beautifully phrased, often bv "apt alliteration's artful aid", the well chosen worda eon veying alwaya juet wbat tbe speaker wished t aav. It must be that Prcf. Carlisle think io faultless Eoglisb and we know that bis bead ia a storehouse of the very unusual article called eom moo aeoee. The girls' Recitation oonteat and eon eert took plaoe at eight o'cloek. This waa a well arranged programme and tbe perfeot order and unwavering at tention of tbe large crowd atteated the merit of it. At the close of the eoncert the following medals were presented: Recitation to Mist Fannie Molntyre; Scholarship to Mr. Thomas W. Dnon who recently woo by eompetitive ex amination the appointment to Annap olis; Debater'a to Mr. M. J. McLean and Deolaimer'e to Mr. David W. Cur rle. The exercises throughout showed tbe high grade and thoroughness of tbe woik of tbit achool under Mr. McLeod and hia assistant teaehera. Tbe at tendance of popils waa larger than ever before in the hiatory of tbe acbool, and we beapesk for thia excellent Principal the Increasing patronage whioh be abould have, A boy or girl oonld not do better than to go to Raeford and certainly they eoold not find better people than thoee which compose the town. , Mrs. D. 8.

Correspondence ot the Observer Sjkesville, Maryland. May 0 1903. Mr. Editor: Rev. J. W. Hood, of- vour town, has delivered himself in Bridgeport, Conn., on tbe negro. He says he differs witb Grovor Cleveland in tbe view that tbe Sonth should be left to settle the negro problem itself. As Mr. Cleveland baa made rather a complex thing of it, here is a dialogue with him that abowa bim to be ratber tbe friend of the Rockefeller combine than of the South: Clivkland -Inasmuch, however, as tbere may be d ff.rencea of thought and sentiment among those who profesa to be fiic ode ct the negro I desire to declare myself aa belonging to the Booker. Washington Taskegee section of tbe organization. LivtsKY Exaetij! Tbat is tbe fash ionable section. It has nothing to do with that section of negroes who, witb the voise of 300 000, called npon for eign powers "for G jd's sake" to aid the negro. The Booker section is the one th&t has been tried and baa been found wanting. It is the one that spouta of industry for tbe negro and seta him the examrla of sumptuous living, pompo sity, presidential aspirations, aod follies. CLKVEl.jf.D -I am thoroughly sou vinced that the tffjrtsot Bxkr Wash ington and tbe methods of Tuekege Institute paint out tbe way to a safe and beneficent solution of the vexations negro problem LiVEiKY With twenty odd years' trial of Tuskgee, wbere are the bene ficent resnlt.-t It fails to leaven its own locality, to say nothing of tbe South. Read wbat Rev. S. A. S tel. of Lumber ton, M iss , says of Booker, of tbe Kxk efeller combine, and all tbe other pompous appurtenances, including the New York Independent. "Education up to the' present time, as tbe census shows, increases the criminality of the negro race. Can a S'.&te afford to support a system of education that produces tbia result! "These conclusions prove that Booker WaabrbftOB tt-b"-ttfestalaBf eroos leader tbe negroes ever had. Be goes North and makes speeches, like bis speech in New Yo:k on February 22, tnat keeps up tbe deiasion, both among tbe wbites in tbe North and the blacks in the Son h, that edocation and prop erty wiil solve the problem by elevating tbe negro to be tbe eqial of tbe wane man. He does cot put it quite so plainly, but that is what be mssns underneath th smooth and fallacious philosophy he so glibly dispenses to credulous ears "Toe negro deserves justice. It is a self-evident truth that justice is a natural and icalienable right of all men. Tbe negro in .in South is se cured in the ngbt to er j y life, liberty, and tbe pursuit of happiness within his sphere. But God A m go.ty made him inferior to tbe Caueamn, and all tbe devices of politico ind constitutional amendments and Slater funds and Southern Education Boards and blatant Independents and Whits House dinners and doable-distilled 'cmfoolery of sentimental philanthropy, witb its aoctnoos nonsense about the brotherhood of man. eao't tbacge the laws of God. Tne natural and as sen tiat inferiority of tbe negro forever de bars mm from the right of the white man. Tbe 'race problem' mast be set tied npon the basis of Ibis fast." The above is only a part of a long article now goiog toe rounds of tbe re ligioua and teso'ar press of the South. It settles tbiegs '. Clivilasd So far as I am inform ed, tbe sentiment in favor of tne .argest extension and broadest ir fhecce of Tuskegee Institute and kindred agencies is universal. LivisiT Yes, yea are "informed'" by the educators and their allies only. They pull tbemse ves together ia all sec'ionsof the univets', pass resolution!, and then paM th-m around tbe world as representing tha mind of the people 'f the locality in which they assembled Tncs they give oat a counterfeit public opinion and yen accept it as tbe genu ne. lots is me scneme worked every wbere by all educators for the promo tion cf their everv fad. Cutilaxd The negro must after all mainly depend extept so far as it rests with tbe negroes themselves upon the sentiment and conduct of tbe leading and respoosiole white men of tne S.u-b. Livuxr Then away with tbe Rotkefeiier, Cyden, Baldwin, But trick, Page, Sbaw combine, and let tbe Booth's best men like Dr. Steel settle tbe matter. CLEViLASD-Bock?r Washington, in speaking of the conditions and needs of bis raee, has wisely slid : "It is at tbe bottom of life we must begin and not t the top." LivxsiT Then there is no need of Tarkigee. Erery negro boy and girl io tbe South should at once be stimu iatcd to go to tne farms, tbe kitchens, or tbe factories open to the raee. Toe kegee, with all its tecs of thousand? poured into it, is altogether "tbe top" ror almost every negro that enters it. It puts bim at a higher notch than he ever was before or ever will be again. "Tbe bottom" is wbere Booker him self began. We bear of little negro boys leaviog their bumble homes aod tramping around tbe country, wanting to rind Backer that they may be made hi particular doubles. Yes, Mr. Cleveland, yoo, Booker and tbe Rockefeller eombioe fail to see tbe solntion of tbe negro problem and in spite of tbe repeated advertisements yon get and the money back of yon, popular sentiment in tbe Boutbsis in creasing in its aversion to yonr every ignoiant or insidious proposal.

Resd this true article from W.bsler's Weekly: Tbe Weekley was one of the first pa pers in the Stale to interpret the mean ing of the Booker Washington meet ins- in Nev York city in which ei President Cleveland waa the principal speaker. Wa promptly recognised in it tbe launching of the Cleveland boo an. It was a shrewd and artful speech and the reorganiaers bavs been working it for all its worth. Tbey have with one aooord nraised its breadth and "nag nanimity" and abided the Sooth for its lack ot appreciation of Cleveland the oast few tears. Uae cuckoo journal in this State speaks of Its "spirit of forgiveness" as sublime, xnet Cleve land abould "forgive" tha Sonth for giving him her electorial vote in thiee successive elections is indeed onset tha marvels of the age. Then came the St. Louis demonstra tion. in which the rabble shouted: "Grover, Grover; four more years of Grover." Next on tbe program was the "fraternal" speeoh ot Editor Mo Kelway, of tbe Brooklyn Eagle, at tbe Siuthern Educational conference, vary sentimental 'ffnrt. He praised Cleveland's New York 'speech, wbieb tbe conference applauded. Then he went borne and wrote an editorial to tbe effect that after consulting witb leaders of public opinion in tea South he was convinced that Cleveland could unite the party and defeat Cooeevelt next Tear. The Question resolved it self, he said, into tbis: Which wonld tbe South rather have, Cleveland, the peaoe-maker, or Roosevelt, tbe med dler and stirrer up of strife I Aod so the Clevelaad movement is on. It is tne same old ngnt or toe trusts and the money power to eootrol the Democratic organisation. Thv captured the party machinery in 1893 and pet tbe Mortgaged Candidate at tbe bead of affairs. All tbe party's troubles are chargeable to that cause. The danger of tbe Force Bill was used to blind the people to tbe real situation, last as tbe negro issue is being wotked in Cleveland's interest now. But for Cleveland's treachery there wonld be no race problem in a political sense. The Republican party eoold never a,ve, .regained , tba oo$denee of the country bad not his abametul betrayal of tbe people a interest made its Tile ness respectable by comparison. Dem ocrats need not be surprised tbat Roosevelt should "black op" and re eeive Booker Washington on terms of soeiat equality, bnt when tbe same negro proposes to take a band in select ing the Democratic eandidate tor President, it is time to eall a ball. It would be a beautiful situation in deed for the Sooth to line up behind Cleveland on tbe raee Question. Cleveland who invited old Fred Douglas and bis white wife to ihe Executive Mansion. Who ap pointed a negro Recorder of tbe District of Columbia over tbe pro test of tbe Democrats of tbe District, Who launched bis boom a few weeks ago nnder tbe patronage ot Booker n asbington, a negro. Great would be the campaign for white supremacy under such a noble leader. t t t Every intelligent man knows tbat toe re is not a more faithful tool ot cor porata power in tbe country than Grover Cleveland. If tbe trusts can bamboczle the Democratic party into nominating hirn again, tbey will have things all their own way for many years to eome. Whether his nomina tion splits the party in twain or unites it, tbey would be in the swim. Says the Crete Democrat ; "Tbe best evidence tbat Grover is to be tbe next trust candidate for presi dent, which we have seen, is his ad dress in New York last week, on tbe negro problem. Tbat was a bid for Southern delegations. Is it possible for the money ebangers and stock jibbers of Wall street to name tbe Democratic candidate for preeident a second time and fool 'em with tbe same old staffed 'profit' a man who bees me rieh while in office! It begins to lock that way. A friend cf ours, a former New Yorker, told us tbe other day tbat 'while in New York eitv some time after the election in 1892 Mr. Bass, ot tbe firm of Bass Alexander, back e-a and brokers on Wall street, in sun venation witb our friend, said tbat tbey wanted the purchasing clause cf tbe Sierman act repealed and feared that President Harrison would not be ac tive in favor of sueh a measure and tbev of tbe Street supported Grover. J. W. Seligmao, one of the heaviest dealers on tbe street, giving to tbe democratic campaign fond $250,000 and others doing quits as well." "The tarff was made tbe main issue in tbat election, yet Grover called a special session of congress to repeal tbe purchasing clause of the Sherman act aod used all the power ot his public patronage as a lobbyist to drive tbe people's representatives into supporting tbe measure, which Wall street bad put up its money to boy bis election, in order to have passed. It was well known at tbat time tbat the large finan cial institutions of the east were baek ing Grover, bat tbe reason for their support was not slear till tbe special session was called for tbe purpose of stopping the purchase of silver for coinage purposes. It is to be presumed now tbat Teddy is not entirely satisfae tory to tbe trusts in tbe east, aad tbat faitbfnl old tool of tbe past ia to be rs sorreoted and used to force tha repeal ot the Bberaaaa antfe-trnst law, which baa developed of late into a powerful weapon to smits tbe bydra-beaded monster devouring everything." Hon. B. B. Glenn, of Winston, stated in a speech at Wentwortb, in tbis connty, tbat while Dietrist Attorney of tbe Western N. C. District bs began proceedings against tha Cigarette Trust under the Bberman act and was prom issd tha ao-operation of tbe A Horner General, who told bim be was oa tha right track and to do bis beat. Ha drew a bill, with the assistance of bis associate, Mr. Covington, an able law yer, and bad hia witnesses ready, but the day it waa to go to tha grand jury be was stooped by a telegram from tbe Attoroey-Oaneral, Mr. Oloey. When conrt adjourned be went to Washing ton and aikd the reason of tbia ansx peeted inteiferenoe. Mr. Oloey told bim it was deemed inexpedient to move in the matter then. Upon tba death of Judge Qretham, Mr. Oloey waa made Secretary of State, and Judge Harmon, of Ohio, became Attotney-3snersl Mr. Glenn renewed bis ease and strengthened it very much, witb Mr. Harmon's cordial approval and assu rance of eo-operation. Tba fateful day arrived; tba witnesses were ready; tbe grand jury wonld ba aiked to pasa oa the matter tbat afternoon. But era tbe clock atruck high noon a telegram was handed bim tailing bim to bold np. He obeyed, for it wss from bis f ops- Mothers J Mothers I Mothers!

A Trlbate to lac Late I. J. Kale. Cortapiadue Of lb ObaWTW. Fajetteville, N. C, May 12, 1003. Mr. Editor: Ia reading the extract from the 1902 memorial address iu yesterday's Observer showing tbe wonderful part tbat tbe Connty of Cumberland played in tba lata war, I was foroed to believe tbat we mav attribute tba patriotic spirit that aroostd the good men cf Cumberland to such spirit ot anthusi asm to tbe Fayetteville Observer. The editor, (the lata Mr. Hale), although be at first stood manfully by the Union, aa did the majority of the voters ot the State, as soon as the call for troops by Lincoln was made became ona of tbe moet entnusiantio advocates of tha Confederate cause. and was from tbat day unceasing and unflagging in his devotion to the very end. No man gave mora in monev; no man ever worked harder; n fact, be gave hia time and bis talents to ths cause tbat was dear to htm. Mis wbols soul was with tbe army in tbe field and his apirit enthused not only the people of Cumberland, but the whole State. Tbe Observer was a power in the land. At tbat time ths Fayetteville Observer was E J. Hale, and E. J. Hale was tbe moving spirit io N. C. His paper was tbe echo of tbe mad, it per sonated him, and his influence sur passed all others'. Never fas- there such a personality exerted by any paper in' N. C. 'Hia name was a syaouym of all that was pure. His word was regarded as law tor all knew and all felt tbat be was ona of tbe best and truest ot men. Tbe people of tbe whole State looked to him for counsel and advice, for ba never swerved to tbe right or tbe left, but followed where duty called. A mora truly loyal man never lived. Such a life abould be remembered and be to na an example worthy ot imitation. For in doing his duty to the Confederate cause he loet bis 11. But it was a sacrifice that he glo ried in and ba bad no regrets; and while there is co tablet here to commemorate his noble, self sacrificing lite, yet the monldering rnins of tbe old Fayette villa Observer iffloe are left to remind each passer-by tbat here remains some of tbe sacrifices that were made for you and me. Sueh a name abould not die. We all owe to bis memory a debt of gratitude we can never pay. But time, which effaces even the love of our dearest ones, has suffered ds to fprget bim who, in bis day and time, was a leader of men one whose love for his peo pie can only be told by pointing to the good be did and tbe love be had for the old Town of Fayetteville. He was foremost in every movement that was proposed to aid the town, aod to- every work ot improvement he gave with a liberal band. His deeds of charity, especially daring tbe war, were uu sparing and unlimited. He was a noble man, his heart beat witb tbe heart of the people. Boob was that true, noble, loyal man, Edward J.

Certainly we think tbat our class ia among the beet that bas ever left Rae ford, and we have a piece of poetry entitled "Ode to the School Bill." writ ten by the poet ot oar class, Roger nasty, just before oar graduation. And if our kind editoi can find room for it we would like very much for tbe public to read it. The following is the poem : Tba old school bell, whose pleasant sound Is known to all the oountrv ronnd. Will soon have ceased Jts olangyig noise, Whioh ia loved so well by tbe girls and ooys. Its clapper soon shall cease to swing, No more we'll bear its oheerful ring, Calling tbe girls and boys to eome, And bring tbeir bonks with them from home. Tbe first bell rings at bait-past eight, And then with every book and slate Tbe girls and boys come bounding in, Filling tbe room with merry din. iuB git is who (sees pure ana sweet Come lightly tripping up the street, Which fiila tha hnart nf aoorv hn With greatest happiness and j jy. Tbe boys, with laughter long and loud, Come jostling np into tbe crowd ado garnering round tne sobool bouse door. Tbey laugh and talk, then laugh some Tbe next bell rings at a quarter to nine, Whan -t.n n - i; .. uuu wuo ujuoi (Utlfl H HOC, And with boys behind and sirls btforc Tbey march right down through the cnapei door. After fifteen minutes of sons and pravar Tbe boys go up the right hand etair, Tbe girla aoon follow up tbe left Ana eacn aoon Onds her accustomed desk. Aod so, through all the whole day long, Tbe bell gives orders for the busy throng, Till the hands of tha watch noint straight to four. Then it rings and let's them go. Commencement now is drawing near, When every one mast shed a tear Because tbey leave tbe sobool house door, And the same old crowd will meet no mire. Tbe boys and girls will scatter off To the east, to the south, to tbe west and north, And, ob! how lonely then I'll be When none of these boys and girls I'll see. For many a month and weik aod day, Calling tbe pupils to work and play, I've pulled tbe bell cord firmjand stroog, Making tbe bell sound loud and long. ; When these young beads are old and Kry. When they've no desire to rnn and Play, Tbeir minds will wander back to school, To the bell that never broke a rule. How well it always did its work, Never a duty tryiog to shirk; All praise to this noble old sobool bell, How much I love it none can tell.
