HENRY WATTERSON. HIS ADDRESS BEFORE THE AG RICULTURAL AXD MECHAN ICAL COLLEGE. AN O V E K 1 I . O W I X AfDIEJftK MKTROl'OLI TAN HALL TU II E A It HIM. AT A Mantorly Address TMminR With Fine Thought, lieauttful Jihetoric and Charming Illustration. Sews and Observer. It was a noteworthy audiense which assembled in Metropolitan Hall last evening to hear the address of that distinguished orator and journalist Hon. Henry Watterson, before the students and faculty of the Agricultu ; ral and MecQaoical College. it was j an audience composed of the calture i and beauty of the ity of Oaks, for besides the thoughtful array of pro fessional and business, there was the ! charmiDg presence of feminine beauty I pervading the whole length and ! breadth of the hall. The studenti j and faculty of the Agricultural and ' Mechanical College wcresent in a j body. The hall was crowded to its I utmost capacity long before the ap ! pfcarance of the orator of the evening, afid there was hardly standing room i The gallerias were filled It was truly j a representative audience, one which ' was a just compliment to the occasion I of the visit of the accomplished Ken tackian to our midst and ccrtaiuly a most expectant audience. On the stage were Gov. Carr Col. John Robinson, Mr. II. 1$. Hattle, Mayor Hidger, Prof. Masey, Hon. Willis R Williams, Mr R. II. li.it : tie. 6apt S A. Ashe. Mr. W. G I TJpchurch, Mr. N. 1. Uroughton, j Prof. Yates. Dr. M. M. Marshall, Hon J C. Scarborough and others. The graduating class had the seats in front of the stage. Shortly before 9 o'clock the orator was escorted into the hall by l'rcsi i dent Holladay, the trustees of the college, and other distinguished gen- tlemeu. including Mr. Thos. K, Jer- mgan, Mr. v . o. rrunrose, ur. Hu bert Haywood, Mr. A. Leazer, Prof. C. D. McHer, Col. W. F Green, lr. Eugene Daniel. Mr. Coffield, Dr. II'. R. Capehart, Mr. II. E. Fries. Col. Holladay, President of the A. and M. College, first announced that j Rev. Dr. Daniel would open the ex ercises with prayer. After prayer Col. : Holladay, in graceful words of com pliment to the speaker introduaed, i Hon. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky. ! and announced his subject as 'Money and Morals." The orator was greeted , with enthusiastic applause j Mr. Watteron introduced his ad- ! dress with a pleasant anecdote, the j the lesson of which was the hope ex- pressed by himself that the audience was not suffering poverty a to either one of the things mentioned in his sub ject. He declared there was no subject that did not have two sides to it. Agreement as to conclusions might not always follow, aud he was con strained to believe that we arc more pt to be in the wrong when most pos itive and emphatic. The self-confessed man in the wrong says, I can't give in, so you must. He declared humorously that he would not be pragmatical but as be had the floor the audience must give in (laughter.) "The speaker with a beautiful burst of rhetoric, in words of choice and vivid description pictured America and held up its magnificent possibili ties. Was there anything to darken the light anything to obstruct the future ? There were Canada and Mex ico, the asylums of the man with mon ey and no morals. Every one has thought of what a trial it is to be without money. All have dreamed of what a luxury it would be to have it have re eled in the the thought of i the wheel of fortune bringing the. cov eted prize have thought of how it would bring comforts to suffering friends and pay debts. Money is relative. It is very rela ative. The man who has 100.000 and $150,000 worth of wants is much worse off than the one who has noth ing and wants his dinner. It is also full of illusions. Prince and peasant, warrior, statesman and philosopher, have all been struck by that golden rod. It is the piston rod that drives all else it is the pivot around which all elso revolves. U is universally used and abused. It is courted and reviled. AU men pro fees to treat it indifferently but se cretly hanker after it The speaker declared that he never The time has again come when we must reduce our stock, and we've cut the life dut of prices, in every department. It's no use to tell you our reason for this sacrifice sile. We know them and they are strong enough to us to justify this slaughter of Men's.

These reductions are so general and cover so many kinds of goods that we cannol knew what it was to be happy till he had an income with its corresponding wants, and eojoyed the friendship of those gentlemen, Messrs. Promissory Note, Renewal, Discount & Co. (Laughter.) He declared that it was upon the whole a broad fact that money hard ened and contracted ten men to where it elevated and ennobled one. Many a good fellow has been turned into a bad by the possession of money. Many people are misled by the world s most accepted maxims. The subject of perseverance is resented in more forms than aDy other admonitory max im. But perseverance will not turn a laborer into an artist, and even when success is attained it is disappointing. Men strive for honor and preferment and when at last attained there is no j j iy in ur He spoke of an aspirant tor for the Presidency of the Lnit.d States who had struggled for the offiae twenty years. When he at last came to be President his ambition had lost its fire, his old enemies had died or become his friends, and to it was that he found no pleasure in it. The young man who has put forth strong effort to gain the hand of the one woman of his heart's desire would better seek o'no who is easier to get. The orator's breezy thrusts of char acteristic Kentucky humor brought forth rounds of appliuse, aud occa sionally remincd bis audience of the eloquent Underwood, of K"eotucky, who was with us a few years ago The speaker went on to illustrate his subject. He said th gambler al ways expects to win. When he wins lie smiles, and when he loses he swears. Rut it is a fatal mistake -when a man lays his hands on money which is eomcbody else's. The worst of these is the man who poses as a pillar of the church and masquerade as a model of christian ity. Hypocrisy, he said, is the hom age vice pajs to virtue. It is also the masque behind which pretended vir tue drives ber iniquitous practices. There are hypocrites and hypocrites. Some are so deep they uevtr find themselves out, others who arc hypo crites from cowardice. Find out a nation's sin Lnd you will know that nation's danger. Never mind about Asia, find out about America. He spoke eloquently of the race prob lem, and said that there must be faith in God to solve it. Is it the labor question ? It seemed that, left to the machinery of our fine government and civilization, it must adjust itself. There seems to no one single political interest that bodes lasting danger. When any one political party thinks it has the world in a sling, public opin ion gets opon its hind legs and kicks it out. It is all in the relation of the mon ey power to the morals of tho people. Thi.' would not be so bad if it were confined to the commercial world, but it extends to the 10,000 pulpit, or United States Senatorship. The trail of the trade mark of the dollar is over us all. What a struggle it is in all great centres for money nothing but mou ey. How easy it is to forget how a ri.h neighbor secured his wealth when we ate invited to enjoy bis bounty. They make their fortunes first, and then buy a seat in the United States Senate. This love of the money power is crushiug out erery elevating and enaobling sentiment. I do not mean, said the speaker, to argne that the poor are the happiest, but neither are the rich. Switzerland is no more wealthy now than it was five hundred years ago. Til fares the land to hastening ills a prey. W here wealth accumulates and men decay, The. speaker declared that we are upon the ascending and not the de scending scale of national greatness. Wc have many centuries of prosper ous existence ahead. The money devil is the liou across our national high- way. He is at the road fork, one leading up to national fame and glory, the other leading down to ignoble plutocracy. Beware of the man who puts his pocket above bis conscience, his party above his country. If you want to read of financial tragedy read the history, of Wall street. The power of pride and money is weak. The statesmanship which is to lead us up the national incline of greatness and glory must address itself wore to honor, virtue and truth. The speaker enjoined against sec tionalism. He declared that the American people is a homogeneous people. All of us should be proud that we are American citizens. All of us cannot get the high places, but let us love our fellow man and see good in everything EDITORIAL OPINIONS. Our Alliance friends have often la mented their poverty and abused the rich monopolists and bankers of Wall street. It is eay to envy the rich bewail our own hard lot in life. Heav en helps those who help themselves and riches com; only to a few. SVieZ Itif IZccicir. There is a growing sentiment in favor of State banks of issue estab lished, because they will give us a lo- i cal curreucy that will remain at home, and afford us a convenient circalating medium all the year round. Durluim Sun. Think of this There is more money spent in North Carolina in one year for strong drink than has been spent in eight years for education of the children. Woeful yet doubtless true. Wtlini.Hjton Messenger One of the strangest things of this era of strange things is the avowed purpose of a Mohammedan convert to implant that faith into this country. We bad looked for China to send mis sioaaries to convert us to Confucian ism; we had expected the devil to send his imp and ministers of evil into our very homes; but we have to express our utter astonishment when this re ligion, that has in i's early history won more converts by the sword than oth erwise, is now seeking to plant itself iuto the very heart of Christendom. S'otliwl Xeik Democrat. A. and M. College. The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: The Slate Board of Agriculture met last,Friday. It re elected the former officers, Messrs. llobinton, commissioner; Bru ner, secretary, and Battle, chemist. It was decided to build an addition to the building. This is to be three sto rie in height, 50 feet wide aDd 100 feet long, and will run parallel with tuc present museui wing. It too will be used for a museum, to contain not ouly the super!) exhibits now at Chicago, but other additions to the State's large aud notable collection. The funds are in hand to pay for this work, which will be begun at once. The trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College were in ses sion until 1 o'clock this morning. They established post-graduate courses at the college, those taking these to be at the same time tutors of the primary classes and to receive an allowance of 250 yearly. The farm superintendent, B. S. Skinner is re elected and also becomes steward. A Drunkard's Law. The Michigan legislature at its re cent session passed a curious law on the sul'j ?ct of drunkenness. As the Detroit Free I'ress aptly remarks, the act treats drunkenness at once as a disease and a misdemeanor. A person who is in the habit of get ting drunk may b taken before a jus tice of the peace, and on conviction is permitted to select his own punish ment. Instead of going to jail or the house of correction he may give boud that he will take treatment at some specified and well established whisky cure. If the party appears before the jus tice sixty days afterwards and presents testimonials that he is cured, be is to be discharged. As will be seen, the act places a large discretion in juttices of the peace. It is hard to determine when a man is an habitual drunkard, but it is still more difficult to deter mine when he is cured. The faith of the Michigan legislature in the wis dom of the average justice of the peace is truly marvelous. Mamnr Get 1(1 Due ir not the Cash Due Him by the ProfjrenslTe Farmer.
