Tried Fraud lo B Doctor, A young North Corolinian who aspired to be a doctor attempted to work a clever rase on the med ical board at ABheville this week, He was perfectly aware that he coald not stand the examinations, and yet he waa botmd to ( et his lioenae. The idea struck him to hire a substitute. With this in viavr, he wrote to a friend in Baltimore, who is a physician, one who stood high in his class and is really a bright young ftl low. The JJaltiraore doctor was to come to Asbeville, Laving as sumed the North Carolina young man's name, and pass the exami nations, get the license, turn it over to the real person in whos name it was made out, and re oeive therefor a goodly sum. The plan all but succeeded. Thanks to the watuhful eyes of the mem Ders oi (tie hoard, the traua was detected and the scheme upset after the Baltimore man had taken part of the examinations. Ashe ville Gazette If this is the true statement of that affair, doesn't it seem tro grave an affair to withhold the name of tbe-person, whomsoever he be. This would be a danger ous man to have any connection with the medical world to at tempt to pass a State Board by letting another person stand his examination and then be allowed to administer to a patient whea death is almost ready to take the sick one. This is certainly a hard blow on tbis young man, and it is fortunate that a vigilant eye de tected his scheme. ifoBTHTClBOlINA, I cnn,,rjnr f!niirt CabarniB Oounty.

Eev. Mr. Cor- dell, of the Methodist church, opened the exercises with prayer. President Scherer introduced Mr. V C Ridenhour, who deliver ed in splendid style a beautifully prepared Salutatory. The gradu ates and their subjects are as follows : Mr. Edmond Fulenwider, of Monroe "Social Tendencies." Mr. Jacob L Morgan, of Poole "Is Keligien on the De- oline ?" Mr. Chas. A Phillips, of Con cord "The Modern .Novel." Mr. Victor C Ridenhour, of Mt. Pleasant "The Anglo - Saxon Race." Mr.'Edmond Fulenwider then delivered a touching valedictory, during which delivery the au dience was feelingly moved. The thoughts and sentiments of this discourse will long be cherished by the large audienoe in attend ance. Each of the graduates reflected criedit upon himself as well as his aim mater in the high oharacter of his oration and the delivery of the same. Each made first distinction, having merited a grade entitling him to same. It is seldom one hears an ad- drees fuller of wisdom and anxi ous hopes than was the address of President Soberer to the graduates in his presentation of diplomas to the class. Degrees were conferred by the Board of Trustees as follows ; A. B on Messrs Fulenwider, Riden hour and Morgan; Ph. B. on Mr. Chas. A Philips; A. M. was con ferred on Mr. T C Parker; Ph..

John Proasls', Color d, Btrnck By LlKntnlnit Wnile Going to HI Din ner Ilia. Hat and Shoe Torn to Piece. Daring an electric storm here today (Thursday) about 12.15 o'clock a very quick flash of lightning and a distinct elap of thunder was heard. This was the stroke which ended the life of John Pressly, a young negro man, who lives here and whose face is familiar amongst the colored boys. He was working for Mr. R A Brown and was going home to his dinner. When the lightning struck him he was near Mr, Jas. F Day vault's barn on one of the streets leading from West Corbin street to the part of town occupied by the colored peoplo. No one saw him struck but he was found in a few minutes afterwards. His hat was torn to pieces as was also one of his shoes. His skin was in no way broken, except that there was a small cut in his lip, presumably caused by falling on the ground. There is no donbt but that he was killed instantly. John had never mar ried and was a son of Martha Fressly, a colored woman of this place. Mr. Jag. F Day vault was at home at the time of the occur rence and was stunned somewhat by the stroke. Capt. Tilly Wa Killed. A few days ago a party of Ameiicans were treacherously fired npon by the natives of the island Negroes and Capt. Geo. H Tilly, of the signal corps, was out off and could not make his escape with the rest to reach his boat. Much solicitude was felt for him.

RESIGNS FROM PUBLIC LIFE, Mr. Jno. A. Mini Come Oat In An Open Letter Nlutlnir Tnat After Over Eiichl Yearn lie la Oat of Public Lire. Editor Standard: My resignation as chief clerk in the State Auditor's Department, Raleigh, goes into effect this day. I have stepped down and out of publio life, and so far as I know or have reason to believe, forever. Tbis last position was tbe most pleasant that I ever occupied, and it is only that I may be able to spend more ef my time with my family that I have so deoided. Since 18H0 I have been in publio life. 'Tis not neceseary now to more than just refer to the fact, as to how I got into public life. Being raised on the farm, my sympathies have ever been with the farmer, am under speoial obligation to these for placing me in cllioe. While this is true, I have eyer tried to so discharge my official duties as to know no difference between those who were with me and those against me. Politically, I may have mads my mistakes, even for these I have no apoligies to make. I have only followed where my friends led, sometimes, however, I followed against my better judgment. If my friends have had sucoess so have I, if they have gone down in defeat, I have the consolation of knowicg that I remained only to go down with them. Ia tbe many hot con tests in which I have been engaged in my short publio career, criticisms were otten sharp and cutting, some times severe, even for these I ask for no apologies, and certain it is, that I have none to offer. I have the consolation of knowing that I have always struck with all the power given me, but at the same time, I have ever struck above tbs belt. I return to private life satis fied that according to my knowl edge and ability I have discharged every duty with which I have been entrusted and do not now recall a single act tbat I would have other- wipe.

Our Correspondent Bava Tnat an Error, Wa made In a. statement Home; ray Ao-Kot the Board Hut a majority or the Board-A Reply to the Statement Hade By Others. Mr. Editor : You honored me with a correspondent's commis sion (unsought) during my stay at the Commencement exercises of North Carolina College at Mt, Pleasant and under adverse cir cumstances I did what I could. Now it appears, from state ments made to you a&d indirectly to me, by parties from behind the scenes, that I erred in what wrote about the meeting of the Board of Trustees of North Carolina College, on Tuesday last. It is human to err, but it is diyine or something else for those who personally know to correct the error and not seek a contrary statement through the kindness and goodness ef an editor, who was further away from the scenes than his correspondent. I do feel called upon to explain but not to withdraw my communica tion, appearing in your paper of Wednesday last. If my explana tion does not prove satisfactory to those complaining, why let them point out the errors over their own signatures1, and not shift the responsibility to your shoulders. Your columns are open, I am sure, to any one who desires to shape public opinion properly, correct real and sup posed errors or record history. Everybody desires to be corrected but he wants it to come from the aggrieved it looks better, tastes better and has a much better effect, and then we all know "who is who." In order to make clear what I purposed to oonvey in my com munication in Wednesday s Standard, (but want of time pre venting a reading of same after being hastily and rapidly written and thus appearing more sweeping than I intended) I wish to intro duce horo the article in question and explain ; "While the board reoognized that Synod bad no power to take the action relative to the removal of the college; and tho' appreciat ing the matter was not referred to them (the only place where Synod can make recommenda tions), the Hoard took occasion to emphatically express its dis approval ot the course of bynod in regard to the college, and thus ends all the removal agitation. It is dearly demonstrated that the Botrd, in its official capacity and opinions, is opposed to the re moval idea. 1. Twelve men were present, and seven of them have been heard to publicly express their disapproval of Synod's action; four are known to be remov- ionists, and one perhaps, under any circumstance, would abstain from voting. Therefore I should have said a majority of the Board recognizes that Synod has no power to move the college. 2. Again the charter of the college requires "a two-third yote of all members" for business like this; and two-thirds of 13 is 12, and it is known by everybody who knows anything about it that twelve members do not endorse the removal idea. 3. Synod's action, for reasons quite obvious, was not brought up by "the removal friends,'' but a resolution, just to carry cut parliamentary rules, perhaps, or something else, was introduced, which gave a msjority of the Board an opportunity to "emphat ically express its disapproval of Synod's course.?' My article no where intimates or intends to in timate that a vote was taken, or that a resolution was passed. So it was a majority that so expressed itself and not the Board as a whole as one might be impressed by a casual reading. 4. That this "ends all" the mat ter, is proyen by a hinher au thority than any of us preachers or laymen. The charter of the college, granted by the Legisla ture, gives the Synod no power at all over the college except to appoint to vacanoies in the Board if it so desires; if not the Board "shall appoint" to carry out the "perpetual succession" so clearly marked by the entire charter. The constitution of said Board, adopted by itself, says : "Synod may recommend to the Board any measures "they may deem con ducive to the welfare of the Institution, and everv such RECOMMENDATION SHALL BE CON sidekkd at the next regular meet' ing of the Board, and may be accepted or rejected." The meet ing in question was "tbe next regujar meeting" and the action was not accepted, but vigorously disapproved of by the open speechrs against it with practic ally no defense. 5. That it "is clearly demon strated that the Board is opposed to the romoval idea" admits of no doubt, for twelve members of the board cn not be found to endorse Synod's action, and it requires that number. 6. So, Mr. Elitor, 1 cheerfully take the first opportunity I have to say that in my article wherever "Board" appears it should be pre ceded by "a majority of the." The CDncord Times publishes an item for which I'm told Board members furnished the points to the local reporter and it ends with these words : "but in the dis cussion the information developed tbat the Board will coneur in any action that Synod sees proper to take." Some persons simply im posed on the Times' reporter, for that statement. is just simply not so. Hie isoard has not con curred in any action" and never will. It is presumption to even suppose or pray such. It is com forting to me to know that my error is the less grave. I might throw a littlv more light on this interesting question, but I can rot violate confidence. Finally, Mr. Editor, no one knows better than the several members from Cods cord, who attended the meeting of tbo Board Tue-Jay, that tbe signs they eaw at the Board meeting did not indicate "concurrence In aoy ac. tion tbat Synod see? proper to take." Nit a little bit 1 I have tried to make clar the purposes of my article and if this dees not meet the notions of those raising objection to the communica' tion, let them say, over their own signatures, wherein it is wrong, The poblio wants light, and these who have it from first sources ought to shed it; they shall Lave a respeot ful and dignified bearing. As your correspondent, Mr. Editor, I have reason te expect your protection nn til the aggrieved furnish, over their own signatures, proof of their con tentionp. Very truly jour?, Jas. P. Cook.

SomotbiDg amusing occurred in our town some time ago, when one of a family tested the honesty of the negro servant, who continually boasted that she was as "honest as could be." A ten-dollar Confeder ate bill was placed in tbe bed one morning before she cleaned up the room. During tbe day the bili in some manner disappeared, and the loser offered one-half of the amount of the bill to the finder. Tbe servant found the bill somewhere not in tbe house, hoping to recover five dollars for her fortunate find Tbe servant was requested to get it changed, but the plan failed and the negro doesn't know what to think about tbe matter.
