Rollins, Chairmen Bepnbliean State Executive Commit tee, Asheville, N. C. "My Dear Sit:-Your letter of Aug. 15th, declining the challenge for a joint debate between the candidates on the State ticket of onr respective parties for political offices conveyed in my let ter to yon of Joly 27tb,eieept between the opposing candidates for one of the minor places on that ticket, has been reeieved. I note that yonr letter pots yonr declination of any challenge apon the gronnd that some of the candidates of yonr party oppose a joint debate, and from the text of yonr letter it appears that this opposition extends to all yonr candidates on the State ticket except one. I assume as a matter of courts that the candidates of your par ty, who are nnder the jurisdiction of your committee, whatever may be their personal inclination, wotld obey the decision of your committee as to a joint discussion, as the candidates ot my party are ready to obey the decision of my committee upon that question, and I must, therefore, accept your refusal of my challenge as an acquiescence by yon and yonr committee in the oppoei lion of your candidates on the State ticket to a lomt discussion. "In Tiew ef the fact that yonr party held its State convention first exd that yonr platform makes divers charges gainst the administration ot the State's affair during the past four years by the Democratic party, it is surpris ing, to say the least, that the Candida tea nominated by yonr party for execo live and administrative positions in the State government should oppose a joint discussion before the people of those charges, and that yon sboald propose to limit the joint disotoo to the op posing candidates on that ticket whose sole dnty will be to preside over the Senate. "Yon refer to certain arrangements which yon say have been made between certain candidates for Congress tor a joint discussion, and to an unaccepted challenge made by one of the Demo cratic candidates for elector-at-large, and express a willingness to meet me to arrange appointments tor those discussions. Uoder the plan of organ isttion ot my party, and I presume the same it true ot yours, the State exeea- tive committee has no jurisdiction) over ppointments lor Congressional eandi dates, that power being vested in the district committee. It has never been the practice ot onr State committee to make or interfere with thoss appoint msnts and unsolicited interference now would doubtless give offense to these candidates and to the district commit tee.

Glenn's Position In regard to Negro Education. - Gorman Niwa Bdbbau. Raleigh, August 22. So much has been said of Governor Glenn's ideas and position, in regard to negro education, that the following will be read with nnnraal interest. It is an outline of a speeob delivered by him in Raleigh a few nights ago and defines his position with regard to ne gro education and the present system ot education in worm uarouua: "TOO CAN'T TIAOH A HOUND TO BXT BIRDS." Yes. edoeation i a good thing for everybody, but it should be dispensed disoreetly. Every person should not be edooated alike their respective stations in life should be considered. Yea, you can educate even a dog and be will be the better for it. "But you cannot teach a bound pnppy to set birds." 1 believe in education ana l stand flat-footed on the educational plank ot the Democratic platform adopted by the Democratic State convention at Greensboro. But I have a right to my view as to the cbaraoter ot eduoation that ahoold be furnished respectively to the white children and the negro children ot North Carolina. I have said that yon cannot teach a hound dog to sat bird. Neither do I believe that a negro should be "educated" into thinking himself as good as or a little better than a white man. . The same character ot edoeation ie not good for him, as a general rule, that is good for the majority ot whits children. Let ns not teach him to think he should become s et eat lawyer or doe tor, or other "professional" man, when there is no field for snob a talent if be had it Practically teach him to do well some good mechanical work that he is fitted by nature and environment to perform successfully, and thereby fit him to make a good living tor him self and family. The "eddieated" ne,ro who struts about our streets, with a Prince Albert ooet and silk hat and eye glasses, for a brief seassn, and then lands where he has to swap the eoetume tor one of stripes, is a big failure and the system of so-called edoeation which be re eeived (imbibing false ideas of bis im portance and opportunities) is largely, chiefly responsible for the failure. I believe also in practical education for a great miny white boys and girls. The bonored and honorable trades should by no means be tnrnsd over to the negroes. No labor, when honestly done, is lowering to the true manbooj of the whitest man in North Carolina. I had rather see my daughter (whom I love with all my heart) be come the wife ot an honest capable, industrious mechanic ten thousand times rather, than that she should throw her life away on some dude whose only claim to consideration is that he wears tight pants, "fashionable'' clothes, emotes eigarettes, twirls a cane and never did an honest day's work in his life The negroes ot North Carolina pay only 71 per cent, while the white peo ple of the 8iate pay 92t per cent, of the property and poll tax of North Carolina. I do not aay that the negroes should have only what they pay (relatively) in taxes to support schools for them. That would be too hard on them. They are west and we are strong, they need onr help and it waaWbe unmanly in as to deny the aay at sistanee at all. . But it eosU'lees to inpport negro teachers, the negro schools can be run cheaper, and I do not favor giving them proportionately as much (one third, there being one negro to two white persons in North Carolina,) a is given to the white schools. After stating that be was in thor ough accord with the Greensboro platform. Captain Glenn stated that "I stand upon the Demoeratie platform peed by the Greensboro convention fist-footed, but I have a right to my, what you have a right to know, that I do not believe yoa oogbt to educate a oecrro like a white man." Explaining that be did not mean to imply that the negro's education should come only from the taxes that be him self pais, Mr. Glenn contended for more industrial education for the negro and little ot other learning beyond reading, writing and arithmetic The negro, said he, was meant to be a "hewer of wood and a drawer of water," and education in Latin and Greek only serves to render him dis satisfied with the work be is fitted to do and to give him ambitions which ha cannot attain. Teach the negro bow to work, to be honest, to be a better servant, and you do him a better service than bv in atruetinghim in the higher studies ot tna colleges and the schools. Unduly raise the negro's aspirations and von are apt to make him idle, to pot him into habit of vagrancy, into the jail and the penitentiary. lie made a strong plea tor more in dustrial edoeation, for snore skilled labor, tor a doing away with the preju dice against work with the hand, and flaally, coming to hi climax, he told the atory of Kakioe's speech to the King's bench wbeo be said that ha heard the voice of hi wife and coil ten begging him to speak for them. "Then 1 spoke," said Krskin. ''because I spoke for those I love." In the earlier part of hi soteeh h arraigned the natiooal Bepnbliean par- Z. eomparea in two rreetdenuai Cau da tea and scored Boocevelt for his assertion that "a coarse streak ran throogb the Soothers people." He declared that Roosrvslt hisses f bad a coarse streak, bnt that he did not get it from bis Georgia bora mother, bnt retner root "bis Xeokeo daddy." The speaker also reviewed at length Stale polities aad alladed to the change wrought by Vsmoerati rnl from the time ot reeonstraeiioa to the time when Butler and hi fores earn into power, showing how tb scandal and negro domination of the one period had been repeated when Republican. Populists and fusionist earns into power ia the nineties. In bis desetiptioa ot tht conditions obtaining, of tb eorreption, tb negro ml ia tb east. CaDtaia Glenn was impassioned and elcqasnt. It was observed that when the speak er referred to and eomolim.nud Gov. Ay cock aad bis administration there was hearty and loud applaas icon lbs auaienee.

JO JSI OLAU't WOIDIlITl WOU BaMsli Nswa and OU.rttr V In the courts ot a talk Chief Jnatiee Walter Clark said that the State re cords, the greatest work ever attempted by North Carolina, was nearly eomplet ed. Volumes 23 and 24 will contain ths laws from 1663 to 1701, both public and private. Of each of tbts vol umes 250 extra copies will be printed for the benefit ot lawyers who may da sire to pnrobase. Volume 25 will eon tain the centos of 1790. containing 53 000 name and th index thereto. These namee were secured from the United Btates arohives bra special act ot Congreas. Of course the main nse the public will msks ot this will be in tracing tb nam s ot their ancestor. Volume 26 will contain the general index. It will have an index of all the other volumes except the census vol ume. Volume 24 will contain an index ot volume 23 aod 24. as lawyer will probably buy those two volume. Tb index of volume 24 will also be embrae ed in the general index, but not the index ot volume 25 since the latter eon tains 53 000 names, ss already stated. Judge Clark thinks all will be completed during the coming autumn. Ha hsa been engaged on this great work 12 years. It is due him to say that he has not reeieved a cent of pay, direct or indirect. Few State bare so ad mirable a publication. New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and one or two more perhaps excel it. The indexes referted to are being prepared by Dr. Stephen B. Weeks at Santa Fe, New Mexico. Judge Clark's weik has been simply onderful. He was six year at work on th Regimental Histories. No other State baa so splendidly told the story ot the service of its sons in the Civil War. It required tour years to com pile the material for this great work aod two years more to print it. During the printing no fewer than 12 of the officers wbo bad pre paied material for it died. Jndge T wrote with his own band no fewl Jan 4.000 letters regarding this woV.WHe also paid ths postage aod the cost of compiling . the index, amounting to 9200. It is for tunata that the work was done at so comparatively early a date. It ejuld not now be duplicated. . Borne of the veteraoa have secured proofs of the several hundred picture ot soldiers in these volumes and at least ooe veteran has placed the set in a public library. 1st Va.vtruiys Pretiaeal's Muhm.

The president s dwelling at the t oi vetjity was burned some fifteen yeare ago. This waa the bouie made mem orable by the manv historic incidents connected with President's Swain's administration. He was the last presi dent to oecopy it. Since that tixe there bas been no proper home for the president at the University. About o years ago. tbroush an escheat, the University fell heir to a boose in an other section of the State.

It bas caused the bitterest feeling in our own household, and the good peo ple of this county well know that this should not have been," "It has not by any means done what the msjority of those vino voted tor it thought it would do. aod from all Indi cations, and what can be learned from tbe masie wbo come o this office, it waa a wrong move for the party. Men from all over the oounty, who voted for it, have acknowledged thir." Florida hae had tbe ballot primary. and there it has wrought disaster, en abling a man to secure 'be nomination for tbe bigb ttflie ot Governor, wbo, thoughtful pecplo down there declare, is 0 terly ULfitud for tbe position. I am free to confess that two month ago I was favorably disposed to the ballot primary, having only cursorily examined ite fraturu; but. koowing its importance, I beld - my judgment in abeyance, and gave to it tbe most in telligent study of which I am capsb'e. Tbe above nomistakable warniogs from those who have peaked Ihrooitb the experience, with other considera tions, conviooe me that a ballot pri mary would be very unfortunate for the Democracy of Cumberland, and I sincerely hope that tbe proposition will be defeated in tbe county. 1 think that I am honest and disin terested in these views. In no event could I be induasd to beoome a candi date for any office, and I have no ob jeot to serve other than tbe welfare and success of tbe Democratic party. J. n. mtrotib. Fayetteville, August 20. Columbia aai tkt "Citj et fayetteville,'' Fayetteville people will be interested in the dipping below from tbe'Colum bia State, and if, as tbe Wilmington Dispatch thinks, the boat spekeo of is the City of-Fayetteville, some action should be taken to induce ber owners to keep ber here: The navigation eommitlee and tbe board ot directors ot tbe Chamber of Commerce wiii hold a joint meetine MoLday afternoon at 7 o'clock for tbe purpose of organising what will proba bly be known as tbe Uongaree River Navigation Company, the purpose of which will be to encourage and pro mote river navigation between Colum bia aod Georgetown and operate and build inland river boats. Tbe prime object of the company will be to nut a boat on tne river 10 take tbe place of tbe burned Highlander early in Sep tember, in otdcr tbat the line may be in smooth working order in plenty of time for tbe fall and winter business. Tbe boat bas been picked out and every thing is ready for the deal to be dosed Associated witb tbe company will be Mr. W. S. Cook and bia associates of Fsyetteville and Wilmington, wbo will provide tbe boat aod operate the line, These are experienced boat men, who have been greatly encouraged by what tbeir representativea bave seen of Col umbia and by the piomise ot business the local merchants bare made them, Oiher members ot tbe company will be prominent merchants of Colombia wbo are alto members ot tbe Chamber of Commerce. Tbe new company will be capital aid at bjuuw The eapaoity of the boat wbioh has been selected to ttke tbe place of tbe Sighlander is 125 tons, while tb Highlander' capacity was only 100 tons. Praotieally all of tbe Columbia merchants have promised tbe proposed line all of tbe bosiness it i praotisabl for them to give it, and the indications now are that there will be business enough to maintain ths line without subsidy from tb start. Bpesking of tb importance of re estsblitbing tbe boat line witb as little delay as possible, 8eorotary Clark, of tbs Ubamber of Commerce, said ves terday: "I know ot at wast fir nsw gnd important wholesale concerns tbat would bave been established her by this time had not tba Highlander burned.
