FIRST IN WAR,
Where the fighting is hottest tliere
you may count on finding a North
Carolinian, whether on his native
heath or in the land of the almond
eyed heathen thousands of miles
away. The record made by the North
Carolinians in the war between the
States is known of all men. It has
never been surpassed in the world's
history, and what is more, it never
will be surpassed. When the Spanish
Amevicau war came on North Caro
linians ijuickly went to the front, and
it was a North Carolina boy who was
lirs 1 among the officers to lose his life
in that conflict. The clash of arms is
heard in China and thence around the
world, and among the first to be
wounded is a North Csrolinian Capt.
Lemley of the marine corps whose
part iu the light at Tien Tsin was told
in the Cittzcti's Associated Tress dis
patches Monday. The Old North
Stale "Heaven's blessings attend
her!" is represented wherever the
sun shines upon the white man, and
her sons are ever ready to respond to
the call of duty. Calm and conserva
tive in peace, she is terrible in war,
and her sons have the same qualities

REPEAL THE WAR TAX.
Why Continue to Tax the People Mil
lions of Dollars?
March 10, 1900, the United States
Treasury had on hand as shown by
the official statement a net cash bal
ance of over three hundred million
dollars. The government receipts,
excess of all expenses for 8 months
prior to April 1st, were over sixty
two and one-half million dollars per
mouth. At this rate money is being
taken out of circulation and concen
trated iD the vaults of the United
States Treasury in the enormous
sums of ninety-six million dollars per
year, aud for what purpose or usage?
This concentration of the circulating
medium cannot fail to result, very
materially, detrimental to business at
large.
Iu his letter to congress. January
10, 1900, the Secretary of the Treasu
ry said: "The revenues are now ex
ceeding disbursements from month
to month, and seem likelv to do so
for an indefinite time. This condi
tion would be-a menace to the busi
ness world if assurances were not
given that this surplus would be di
verted from the treasury vaults to
public depositories where, while
secure to the government, it would
remain available to business use."
The existence of over three hundred
million dollars in cash means that the
government has not only the required
gold reserve, as per the law just
passed but also one hundred and lifty
miliions of dollars over and above all
expenses, and still the government is
collecting taxes on checks, deeds,
mortgages, medicines, perfumes, bills
lading, telegrams, money orders, etc.,
leaving upon the people an unjust,
harrassing, oppressive tax. What pos
sible excuse can there now be for Con
gress refusing to repeal this unjust
stamp tax upon business documents,
medicines, toilet articles, etc? Think
about it! Since July 1st, 1899, there
has gone into the public treasury an
average daily surplus of two hundred
and seventy thousand dollars, and it
19 increasing from dav to dav, and

now that the government does not
need the money, why continue it and
tax the people?
Mr. Hecp said to a drunken fellow,
"If I were in your place I would go
out to the woods and hang Diyself."
The answer was, --If yooz in my
plaish, you couldn't get there."

THE A. M. COLLEGE.
Textile Equipment Which Will Make
it One of the Best Furnished Insti
tutions of the Kind In the Country.
The Agricultural and Mechanical
College is making the very best pos
sible arrangements for increased use
fulness during the fall session.
The Agricultural Department has
received valuable additions. New
and improved machinery, increase of
acreage, fencing in land for grazing
purposes of cattle, all will give
greater facilities for good work.
The department of Physics will be
very much enlarged. This embraces
electrical engineering, for which a
suitable brick building is now being
erected from the appropriation to this
deparment for the next year.
New lathes and machinery are bc
ih'r secured for the mechanical de
partment. The school of textile fabrics will re
ceive remarkable development over
last year. A very competent man,
Mr. Wilson, has been engaged, in
connection with Mr. Tompkins of
Charlotte, and iuite an amount of
new machinery has ben donated by
cotton mill manufacturers.
For the present the old chapel of
the main building will be used for in
struction purposes in this depart
ment. This room is 4n60 feet in
size, and will be equipped with auto-
matie sprinklers. No lappers for the
present will be used until a separate
building shall be erected, but the re
maining machinery will afford good,
practical training for the present.
It is almost certain that the Insti
tution will be overcrowded. More
dormitory room is absolutely needed,
which it "is believed the next Legisla
ture will supply.
The other departments Chemical,
Civil Engineering, etc. are well
equipped and manned.
The College has an acknowledged
position amone the institutions of the
State, and is sure to become the lead
ing factor in the development of the
splendid resources of North Carolina
for the splendidly equipped faculty
is even more admirable than tbo
physical equipment and the Improve
ments juat noted, from Prtsideat
Winston down, and it cannot result
otherwise.
Throurh No 111 WW to the Nofro.
(Wilmington Messenger.)
The Democratic party is too wise,
too just, too far-seeing to take steps
to curtail schooling facilities for those
who may vote. It will rather uplift
and educate those who shall be wil
ling to strive for the proper qualifica
tions as electors. Do not enter upon
any doubtful scheme. Fulfill all
promises in good faith. Let the ne
groes have sufficient advantages to
improve their minds and their morals.
If they are ever to become desirable
citizens they must have a sound moral
basis and sufficient opportunity lor
acquiring a good primary education.
It's a poor thermometer that won't
work both ways.
The peopl of North Carolina are a
tolerant folk; bnt when it is sought to
bully them, or when one goes about
among them arousing the worst pas
sions of the ignorant and vicious,
they are apt to call a halt peremptor
ily. This Is not a threat hut a word
of friendly advice which needs to be
read, marked and inwardly digested.
