Mr. Brvan was the cllief soealcer before the American Society of Lon don at its annual gathering to cele brate the birthday of American Inde pendence. His subject was "lne White Man's Burden." . He said : r. The memory of the evening spent with the American Society Thanks giving Day two and a ..half years'ago, is such a pleasant one that-1 esteem thyself fortunate to be able to accept the invitation bo kindly extended by our ambassador, Hon. whitelaw Retd to be your guest on this occasion. Our English friends, under whose flag we meet to-night, recalling that this is the anniversary of our nation's birth, would doubtless pardon uo-if our rejoicing contained something of self-congratulation, for it is at such time as this that we are wont to re view those national achievements which have given to the United States its prominence among the. nations. But I hope I shall hot be thought lacking in patriotic spirit if,-instead of drawing a picture of tne past, bright with heroic deeds all unparal leled in progress, I - summon you rather U a serious- consideration, of the responsibility resting upon' those nations which aspire to premiership. This line of thought is suggested by a sense of propriety as well as by rt cent experiences by a sense of pro priety because such a subject will int terest the Briton as well as the Amer? icatPand by tecent experiences, be cause they have impressed me not less with our national duty than with the superiority of Western ovef East ern civilization!. -: ' Asking your attention . to , such "a theme, it is not unfitting to adopt a phrase 'coined by a poet to whom AmeVlca as well as' England can lay some claims and take for my text VThe; white Man's Burden." Y 'Take no the White Man's Burden ' In patience to abide, -. .," To veil the threat of terror And check the 6how of pride. . By open speech and simple, At) nunarea times maae piain, To seek another's profit, " And work another's gain." - .; 'Thus Sines. Kipling, and, with the exception ' or the - bird line (of the meaning ot wbicn l am not quite sure) the stanza embodies the thought which is uppermost in my mind to night. No one can travel among the dark-skinned races of the Orient with, out feelrng that the white man occu- Dies an esneciauv lavoreu position , . , ' ! j . among the children' of men' and the recognition of tnis fact is aocompa. nied by the conviction that there is a duty inseparably connected with the advantages enjoyed. There is a white man's burden a burden which the white man should not shirk even if he would.. That no one liveth'unto himself or dieth unto himself has na tionalas well as individual applica tion.- Ourdestinies are so interwoven. that each directs an influence directly or indirectly upon all others. . Sometimes this influence is uncon sciously' exerted ' as wlienr for in stance, the goodor.bad . precedent set bv one nation in dealing wun its own affairs is followed by some othet na tion. Sometimes vhe influence is in cidentally exerted, as when, for ex ample, a nation in tne extension ot its. commerce, introduces its language and enlarges the horizon of the people with whom it trades. This incidental benefit conferred by the opening of new markets must be apparent to any one who has watched the stimulating influence of the new ideas which have been introduced into Asia and Africa throneh the nredium of the English laneuaee. This is not the mother tongue of very many of the world's leaders- in religion, 'statesmanship, science and literature, but it has re ceived through translation the best that has been written and spoicen in other countries. He who learns this language, therefore, is like one who lives upon a great highway where he comes into daily contacts with the world. ' " - ' Without disoaraeine other modern laniraatres it may be said with truth that whether one travels abroad or studies at home, there is no other lamruaire so Useful at the present time as that which we employ at this ban- auet board, and the nation wnicn is instrumental in spreading mis lan pTiace confers an- inestimable boon even though the conferring of it be not included in its general purpose.

A much greater assistance is rendered ftiMi when thev are led to a more ipvntcd olane of thought and activ ity by ideals which stimulate them to self-development." The improvement of the people themselves should be u. nnmtriount oMect in all inter- ..,. with the Orient. Among the blesnings which the Christian nations ore at this time able-i-and in duty bound to carry to the rest of the world, I moy mention five: Education, knowledge of the science of government, arbitration as a substitute for war, appreciation of the dignity of labor and a high con ception of life. - Education comes tirst, ana in no thing has the United States and Eng land been more clearly helpful than in the advocacy of universal education. If the designs of God are .disclosed by His handiwork, then the creation of the human mind is indubitable proof that the Almighty never in tended that learning should be mo nopolized bv a few, and he arrays himself against the plans of Jehovah who would deny intellectual training to any part of the human race, It is a false civilization, not a true one, tnat countenances tn permanent sep. aration of society into two distinct classes, the one encouraged to im prove the mind and the other con demned to hopeless ignorance. Equal ly false is that conception of internat ional politics which rould make the prosperity of one nation depend upon the exploitation of another. . While no one is far-sighted enough to esti mate with accuracy the remote or even the immediate consequences of human action,'! yet, as we can rely upon the principles that each indivi dual profits rather than loses by the progress and prosperity of his neighr bors, so we cannot doubt that it is to the advantage of each, nation that every othet nation shall make the largest possible use of its own re sources and the capabilities of its people.' ': , No one questions that japan's in fluence has been a beneficent one since she has emerged from illiteracy and endowed her people with public schools open to all her boys and girls. The transition from a position of ob scurity into a world power was scarce ly more rapid than her transition from a menace into an ally." China is en tering upon a similar experience and 1 am confident tnat Her era of reiorm will make her, not a yellow peril but a powerful co-laborer in the interna tional vineyard. In India," in - tne Philippines, in Egypt and even in Turkey' statistics show a gradual ex tension of education, and I trust 1 will be pardoned if I Say that neither the armies, nor the navies,' nor yet the commerce ,of our nations have given us so just a claim to the grati tudef the people of Asia as have our school teachers, sent,, many of them, by private rather than by public funds: The English language has been the vehicle for the conveyance of govern' mental truth even more than for the spread of general information, for be. ginning with Magna Charta and con tinuing through the era of American revolution and the Declaration of In dependence down to the present, no language has been so much employed for the propagation of that theory of government which ' traces govern. mental authority to the consent of the governed. ' Our own nation pre sents' the most illustrious example known to history of a great population Crocking out its destiny through laws of its own making and under othcials of its own choosing, although, I may add we scarcely go beyond 'England in recognizing the omnipotence ot a parliament fresh from the people It is difficult to overestimate the po tency of this conception of govern ment upon the progress of the nation and, in turning the thought of the world away from despotism to the possibilities of self government, the pioneers of .freedom made Western civilization possible. An idea will some times revolutionize an individ ual, a community, a State, a nation or even a. world,- and the idea that man possesses inalienable rights which the State did not give, and whitch the State, though it can deny, cannot take away, has made millions of human beings stand erect and claim their God-given inderitance, While the era of constitutional lib erty is ever widening, while the ty ranny and insolence ot arbitrary pow. er are every year decreasing, the lead- era of the world's thought, not only the English-speaking nations, but the other Christian nations as well, have yet much to do in teaching rev erence for the will of the majority and respect for the public servants upon whom the, people .bestow . au thority. " ! DUTY OP CHRISTIAN- NATIONS. The christian nations must lead the movement for the promotion of peace, not only because they are enlisted un fir the hnngr "f t"g pnn'''' Peace, but also because they have attained such a degree of intelligence that they can no-longer take pride in a purely physical victory. Tlhe belief that moral questions can be settled by the shedding of human blood is a relic of barbarism; to- doubt the dynaml power of righteousness is infidelity to trutn itseii. .mat nation wnica is unwilling to trust its cause to the universal conscience or which shrinks I from the presentation of its claims be- 1 r a mU.I ttiliAr. raer.M li n1 . 1 a holds iuic n inuuuai irw vv Sjvays betrays a lack of faith in the soundness of its position. I venture to-suggest" that the world's peace would be greatly promoted by an agreement among the leading nations that no declaration ot war snouia oe made until the submission of the question in controversy . to an . im partial court for investigation, eacn nation reserving the right to accept or reject the decision. The prelimi nary investigation -would in almost every instance insure an amicable settlement and' the reserved rights would be a sufficient protection against any -possible injustice. . .-rS THE DIGNITY OP LABOR, ": f Let me go a step further and appeal for a clearer recognition of the dignity of labor. The odium which rests upon the work of the hand has exert ed a baneful influence , the world around. ; The theory that idleness is more honorable than toil that it is more.j-espectable to consume .what others have produced than to be a producer- of weaitn has not oniy. robbed society of an enormous sum but it has created an almost impassa ble gulf between the leisure classes and those who support them, Tol stoi is right in asserting that most of the perplex In jf problems of society grow out of the lack ot sympathy be tween man and man. Because some imagine themselves above work while others see before them, nothing but a life of drudgery there is constant warring and much of bitterness. When men and women become a- shamed of doing nothing and strive to give to society full compensation ior an tney receive irora wit-icty iuci c wilt be harmony between the classes. While Europe and America have advanced far beyond, the Orient in placing proper estimate upon those who work, even our nations have not yet fully learned the lesson that em ployment at some useful avocation is essential to the physical health, intel lectual i development and moral growth, If America and England are to meet the requirements of their high positions they must be prepared to present in the lives of their citi zens examples, increasing in numoer, of men and women who find delight in contributing to the welfare of their fellows, and this ought not to be diffi cult, for every department of human activity has a fascination of its own The agricultoral colleges and indus trial schools which have sprung up in so many localities are evidence that a higher ideal is spreading among the people. .r.. ..(. ,.!-yu.-.;. And now we come to tne most im portant need of the Orient a concep tion of life which recognizes individ ual responsibility to God, teaches the brotherhood of man and tneasnres greatness by the service rendered, The first establishes a rational rela tion between: the creature and his Creator, the second lays the founda tion for justice between man and his fellowsand the third furnishes an ambition large enough Jo till each life with noble effort : No service which we 'can render to. the less fa vored nations can compare in value to this service, tor if we can but bring their people to accept such an ideal they will rival the Occident in their Contribution to civilization.: If this ideal which must be accepted as the true one if our religion is true--bad been more perfectly illustrated in the lives oi Christians ana in tne conanct of Christian nations there would be less of the "White Man's Burden." OUR MISSION NOT TO WOUND BUT TO HEAL. If it is legitimate to seek another's proht" and "to work another'sgain how can this service best be render ed? This has been the. disputed Doint. Individuals and nations have differed less about the purpose to be accomplished than about the methods to be employed. . Persecutions have been earned on avowedly for the ben efit of the persecuted, .wars have been waged for. the alleged improvement ot those attacked, and still more fre quently philanthropy has been, adul terated with a selfish interest. If the superior nations have a mission it is not to wound but to heal not to cast down but to lift up, and the means must be example a far more power- ful and enduring means rthan vio lence. Example may be likened to the sun whose genial rays constantly coax the buried seed into life and clothe the earth, first with verdure and afterward with ripened, grain, while violence is tne occasional tempest which can ruin but cannot give life Can we -doubt the efficacy .oLex, ample in the light of history r .There has been great increase in education during file last century and the school nouses have not been opened by tne bayonet, they owe their . existence largely to the moral influence which neighboring nations exert upon each other. And the spread of popular government during the same period, how rapid ! Constitution after con. stitution has been adopted and limi tation after limitation has been placed upon arbitrary power until Russia yielding to public opinion establishes a legislative body and China sends commissions abroad with a view to inviting the people to share the re sponsibilities of the government. While in America and in Europe there is much to be corrected and abundant room for improvement there has never been so much altruism- in the world as there is to-day never so many who acknowledge the indisso luble tie that binds each to every oth er member of the race. I have felt more 6ride in my own countrymen than ever before as I have visited the circuit : of schools, hospitals and churches which American money has built around the world, ihe exam ple of the Christian nations, though but feebly reflecting the light of the Master, is gradually reforming soci ety. - . . ,.- .. - 1 Jndsoa Items.

College at Raleig: has issued for distribution an at tractive pamphlet describing the tex tile courses. - The history of the de partment is one which shows solid substantial growth from the smallest beginnings to the best equipment for teaching textile industry. In 1900 it had only one instructor and three students, with n equipment consisting of one spinning frame and two looms. The machinery was lo cated in the basement of the main building, without any power to run it. Since that time the department has developed until now there are four instructors, 37 students, and the equipment, which is valued at J.w, 000 is located in a special textile btfilding-, which costas.ono.: All makes of cottpn mil! machinery - are included, and the equipment is re garded aa one of the best in the coon- try for .instruction incotton manu facture.

A good deal of interest is manifest ed in the visit of Secretary of War Taft (who may be the next Republi can nominee for president) to Greens boro next-week, where he will make political address on the evening preceding the assembling , of. the Re publican State convention and the an nouncement of State Chairman Spen cer Adams that Secretary of the Treas ury Shaw (who would like to be the Presidential nominee of his party) has consented to make several speeches in the eighth and tenth congressional districts during the approaching cam paign. Secretary Taft will speak next Monday night, instead of Tues day at the convention, because he has to fill a previously made engagement in Ohio, on Wednesday and must leave North Carolina Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Conse quently a' much larger number of del egates than usual will arrive for the convention the day preceding tiie be ginning af the work .of that body, which -will be principally character ized by the tight between the present office-holding element and the Black- burnites for control of the State organ ization. . This being an off-year in State pol itics, with only one official prize in the political grab-bag, there is not much doing, except in the county and, congressional contests. Even the choice of a legislature this year which will nave the selection oi a United States Senator is discounted by the fact that the election ofethat high offi- hi , . , e , j ? cer win De merely lormai ana a very perfunctory affair, because of the can didacy of only one aspirant, Senator Simmons having no opposition. A little ginger is being injected in to the local campaign (that is to say, the primary) in this county over the nomination of candidates for State senator, sheriff and county commis sioners, and in consequence of a prop. osition to cut 1 down the income ot the principal county officers who now re ceive fees instead of stated salaries. It is alleged that the county Clerk, the register of deeds and the sheriff of Wake county are all receiving a net income in fees of over five thou. sand dollars each annually, while the shenff of Wake did realize over eight thousand dollars a year up to two years ago, when the legislature re duced his commissions for collecting taxes in excess of fatty thousand, which cut off three thousand dollars from the amount he had been reali zing from that source. The proposi tion is to change the law in its appli cation to Wake and the other larger counties and give these county offi cers all regular flat or stated salanes, all ih excess of that amount to be covered into the county treasunes and thereby lighten the county tax rate. Although the indications are that this will be done, there is no lack of candidates over the prospects, there being four for the shrievalty, all of whom will be glad to get the three thousand a year which that official will probably be hereafter allowed. In Guilford and some other counties, I believe, the flat salary law is already applicable to the sheriff and some other county officers. It would be a good thing for decen cy's sake and for the welfare of many poor. and ignorant people if this flat salary rule could be applied to the army of magisterial scavengers of all the counties. It is little short of highway robbery, and much more op pressive, if a small portion of the reports are true, tor this short-tail element of the justices of the "piece' to set their legal traps for extorting fees and "costs out of the thousands of alleged 5'trials" of trivial cases trumped up in many instances for the one and sole purpose of bleeding the defendants, who are dismissed "upon the payment of costs," but who are sent to jail if the costs are not prompt ly paid. It is a rare thing for some of these little gratters to turn in any money at all into the county treasu nes. Wake county will be represented in the next State senate by a man who will probably make one of the most efficient and popular senators the county has ever had, Hon. John C Drewry, who acceptably served in the House four years ago. Mr. Drewry is one of the most successful and ca pable business men in North Carolina and he is a man of a high order of ability and learning, a graduate of the University of Virginia, where he also received his degree in the law However, he has never practiced that profession, the last twenty years of his life being devoted chiefly to build ing up-what is now his large insu ranee business. For fifteen years he has been one of the most prominent figures in Raleigh business and mu nicipal affairs, tlis city owing to him moreXhan to any and all other men the beautifully paved streets and side walks which are so' much admired by all who visit the capital of the State. .The annual convention oi North Carolina farmers begins here on Tuesday of next week, July 10th, and continues three days.

" June 30, 1006. Mr. Editor: . - :; - The Observer still makes its week-. ly visits, and we always find it inter esting and. up-to-date in matters of public concern. We think the letter of Salmagundi in the Observer of June 2 1st is full of good sound logic and timely advice. Let the people read and consider and act accordingly. and, as he says, we will soon have a 'more efficient public service." . 1 he recent developments in the packing house business as well as those along other lines show a most deplorable state of affairs. Now that Congress has settled on the typeof the Panama Canal, it is supposed that Chief Engineer Stevens will begin to throw dirt in dead ear nest and that the long-talked-of canal Will become a reality, and ships will soon be plying between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, and, like the Suez", it will be a short cut for the world's traffic to the Orient. Senator Burton steps down and out and there are others no doubt who ought to follow suit. Now that the Hepburn Bate Bill has again been completed before the conferees, according to the tentative agreement reached there will be no more free passes issued to govern ment, State and county officials, but they will have to .pay their fare like the rest of us. But the President has his traveling expenses paid. Well. perhaps, this Is right and, proper. This is a day of changes and innova tions. "In Rome you must do as Rome does.". The tax-payers arenot going tolje let up on, "you bet your sweet lite." Crops around and about Manches ter are looking fairly well, The re cent heavy rains damaged them some, but.we have had a fine week to kill grass and stir the land, and they are beginning to start on again in a way tnat looks like lilting the guano mortgage this fall. Business operations about Manches ter are moving along smoothly. Eve rybody seems to be in good health and cheer and are looking forward to the time when a boom and not bomb will strike the town and awake it from its lethargic slumbers. The Baptist and Presbyterian church es hold their regular monthly meet ings. Rev. David Kairley serves the Presbytenans and Rev. D. B. Humph rey, of -Robeson, the Baptists. The 0. A. B. is well organized, and its Sunday night prayer meetings are well attended. Miss Fannie Clarke, who is the central figure of the music, presides with her usual grace. There is much credit due her for her unti ring efforts. By her efforts , coupled with those of other lady friends of the organization, the hall has been seated, the organ paid for and lights furnished. The meeting was ad dressed last Sunday night by Mr. Fred Mason, of Chicago, brother to Mrs.-O. M. Waddell, of Manchester. He is an earnest arid consecrated worker in the cause of the lowly Naz- arene, and all were greatly edihed by his discourse. We understand that he has medals awarded him for his work along this line in the city of Chicago, though he makes no preten sions to the ministry. The revenue officers captured a still iar Manchester recently, and from the size of it somebody meant busi ness. Bad showing for the commu nity. John Hayes, a colored man, who was well known in this community, and who was in the employ of Mr. Josh Carmon, of Fayetteville, was found dead on the railroad, in the McLenahan Cut. The supposition is that he was murdered and placed there to convey the impression that he was killed by the train. There has been no arrest made as yet. Crime goes stalking through the land while the1 good and law-abiding citizens smoke their Havanas and don their stiff collars and cuffs. Hope MUla Items.
