LET CONSCIENCE GUIDE. PASSWORD IN SENATORIAL CONTEST SHOULD BE DUTY. Simmons, the Brilliant. Energetic. Prudent, Patient, Wise, Able, Fear less Young Leader Would Make an Ideal Senator True to Every Duty in the Past He Would Prove Recre ant to None in the Future. (Correspondence KaleigU Post.) To the Editor: If you think that fifty years constant work in the Demo cratic harness (four of which were pent in the war between the States, he marks of which are indelible and rom the effects of which I shall never recover) ought to entitle an old reb to any recognition, I desire space in your columns to 9ay a few words. 1 Deneve conscience will guide us politics as well as in an vthi no ise, if we will just take a little time turn our thoughts inward and isten to her small voice she will be ure to admonish us that to do rieht for the sake of right and justice is the niy sale ami honorable rule of con- uct by which we should be governed nd that it applies as well to public it does to private life. Then, in he contest for Senator to fill Butler's place, I would say to all Democrats, come let ns reason together and listen our consciences, and do honestly and bravely whatever may be pointed ut as our duty . " Simmons was not a soldier (was not old enough); his friends claim noth- ng for him on that count, but sav that his eminent and valuable services to the State in her greatest political need ought to entitle him to as much or more consideration than any of the above named, or anv one else. I take all true Democrats to be uyal and like the old rebel soldiers will no where and do what duty tells hem is right; and in this contest the pass-word should be Duty, and that duty which is inspired by a sense of right and justice, and which will re sult in intelligent and thoughtful action, and which demands that all true and honest men should look neither to the right nor left, but march straight up to it Will the true Democrats of North Carolina ever forget the days of their sorrow anil mourning and the politi cal Egyptian bondage from which they have just been released: Will they cease to remember the sorrows of that captivity when their wives, daughters and sweethearts were as slaves, weep ing while the neglected strings of the harp ieopunded only to gales of de spondency i 1 hey will not forget; and if they do not, they will remember in gratitude that brilliant, energetic, prudent, patient and wise young leader by whose genius and superb manage ment it has been made possible to cross over this Kepublican Jordan Simmons did his duty and did it well. Will the Democrats of North Caro Una do their's? or will they, like the children of Israel, forget their de liverer? Duty demands of the party a full, lust, and srenerous recognition of his well known and invaluable services, and nothing that it may have to give should be withheld from him. lie is an honest and true Democrat. Bril liantly polished, and well equipped for the position, he would make Senator of whom our State would be proud I knew his father before the war as one of the best farmers in Jones coun ty and a representative man of his section of the State, and since the war in the State convention of 1S65 and '66 he was prominent and active. He raised this bov on the farm and l have known him for about d() years (since he was a lad). Havinsr been raised on the farm in the country and indenlitied especially with agricultural interests he would not fail to look after everything tend ing to promote and elevate farmers He would do his whole duty to all classes of his constituency without partiality and look discreetly to the protection of every interest oi tne government. State and National. He is more abused and despised by the Republicans and their allies than any other man in the State, and nothing would give them more pleasure than his defeat, lhat they feel towards him the bitterest hatred is well known to all: the Republicans themselves not failing to proclaim it openly. Knowing this, I hold it to be the duty of all true members ot.the Demo cratic party to concentrate their efforts in behalf of F. M. Simmons, and elect him. Fellow Democrats, experience has taught me that a safe rule to follow is to tind out as well as you can what would please a Repub lican and then go as far as you can in the opposite direction. Let us so conduct our actions in the contest now being waged that there may be po cause for rejoicing in the camp of our enemies, or regret or sorrow in that of our own. Remember that we have the power to use the ballot and that the duty to use it wisely and dis creetly devolves on us. Duty, there fore, is the guiding star, or helm without which we will be unable to reach the desired port, and rest in peace. Again, I would remind you that the men, who, amid discouragement and poverty maintain the trust confided to them and fulfill their party obli gations, are the true heroes of these times; and Mr. Simmons being one of that worthy class deserves at the hands of the Democratic party the highest position in their power to give. It is said by some that there are too many lawyers there and that we should send a farmer or a manufac turer. Let us look at this proposition a little. Our lawyers, as a class, form the most intelligent part of society; they are as honest and law-abiding, and" as a rule are able, honest and capable; are the sons or grandsons of farmers, and not a few of them are prosperous farmers themselves. Could we, as good Democrats sav to this class of citizens that we cannot ac cept of their services when tbey have as much interest or perhaps more to protect than we have? Would this course be just? By it we might de- finve ourselves of the services of the argest land owners and best farm managers m the State. They, like every one else, live from the products of the farm and are true to its inter est. I am a farmer and have been all mv life and have neVer seen them as well organized as mey were inis summer and at the proper time. As an old man I deprecate the effort to ostracise any true man on account of bis voca tion in life if its an honorable one, and man or a set of men who will at tempt to do it, is out of the true line of duty as a good citizen. I hold it to be wrong to attempt in any way to array one class of citizens asrain another. A voluntary contribution to true merit. J. T. KENNEDY. WHEN BABY DIED. (Margaret A.

"Holtonism. (Winston Sentinel.) 'Holtonism" is a term applicable to the effort of the District Attorney to try Registrar Thompson .upon counts added to the original bill of indictment after the preliminary ex amination. This was anjinique pro ceeding, to say the least, and looks very much like a high-handed and des picable attempt at tyranny and per secution. Fortunately, Judge Boyd, before whom this innovation was at tempted, was possessed of a sense of justice and regard for precedent and the attempt, very properly, proved a miserable failure and the case was continued. ' That Holton's procedure was re garded as an act of injustice by Judge Boyd is shown by his reply, as given by the News and Observer. The Judge said the defendant should have ample time to prepare his defense and this he had not had. "I don't know any instance in the criminal proceedings of North Carolina," said Judge Boyd, "in which a man has been forced to try his case during the term at which the charge was preferred. This is an important case, both to the defendant and to the public, and it is entitled to every right and indulgence. This, however, is only a right that he now asks, and I shall hold that he is en titled to a continuance. The defend ant had a right to expect that the charges preferred against him in .the original warrant would be the charges on which he-was tn be tried. If other charges are preferred he is entitled to a reasonable time in which to pre pare his defence." And thus "Holtonism soon after its birth. died very A Oood Horse. The Raleigh Correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: Charentas, a horse bred and born in this city, was sold last year by the Raleigh man who owned him for $150. The buyer resold him last year for $6,200, and the horse has won $36,000 or thereabouts this season. It is the old, old story of North Carolina sell ing the "crude products" and other people doing the finishing and making the big money. PRIDE OF THE STATE. THE NORTH CAROLINA URE AND MECHANIC ARTS. Growth of the Institution From its Modest Beginning Eleven Years Ago Down to the Present Something of the Work That Has Been Done and the Auguries of the Future Need of Educated Farmers as Well as Trained Artisans and Skilled Mechanics. In October, 1889, a president and four professors were preseut to open the North Carolina College of Agricul ture and Mechanic Arts, with a single building, surrounded by grounds bar ren and forbidding. Five professors had been elected, but the Professor of Chemistry had a year's leave of absence, his work not beginning till the second year. Of this group of five who were present when the col lege opened, two are still holding the same chairs, D. H. Hill, of the Chair of English, and W. F. Massey, of the Chair of Horticulture and Biology. Today instead of one building in a dreary old field and four professors, the college has eleven buildings and beautifully improved grounds. In stead of a handful of professors and students, the professors, assistant professors, and instructors number between twenty and thirty, with every room in the college crowded, and every vacant room in the neigh borhood rented to accommodate the near 300 who were preseut on the opening day. Every year, since the little opening eleven years ago, there has been an advance, and as the grad uates have gone out to take respon sible positions in the world's work, they have given evidence of the thor oughness with which they have been trained, and have drawn increased at tention to their alma mater. The proof of the manufacture is in the quality of its products, and measured by this standard, the men who have been working in the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts have no reason to be ashamed of the men they have trained and sent out into the world. With increased facilities for instruc tion and training still better work can and doubtless will be done, for the present faculty is a unit in the determination to -elevate the standard of scholarship in the college, and to do better work as the means are at hand for the purpose. Visiting some time since at Clemson College, S. C, the income of which is near three times that of the North Carolina Col lege, they were astonished to know of what we were doing, with the income at our disposal. Our reply was that it had always been the boast of North Carolina schools that they did more with a dollar than .those of any other State. This is evidenced by the fact that even this year with hardly any funds available for building aud equip ment, the college has added to its equipment a neat and well-built elec trical engineering building, and has installed a collecton of textile ma chinery for the opening of the textile school, though compelled to take the only little auditorium possessed for this purpose, and to trust the future for means to build an auditorium equal to the needs of the college. With room for dormitories and in struction, there i3 no doubt that there would be this present term over 400 students in attendance, as the fact that the college room was limited has. been so prominently brought before the public that many despaired of get ting in and did not come. When the fact that the standard of admission has been materially ad vanced the present year is taken into consideration, the large excess of ap plicants above the capacity of the col lege is an evidence of the great re vival in the South of interest in prac tical education, and the determination of our young men to prepare them selves to take part in the work-day world that is abroad in the South, and not only to take part in it but to be leaders in the industrial awakening that is putting the South rapidly to the front.

Chicago, St. Louis, COLLEGE OF AGRICULT in an address to young men, and the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts is endeavoring to furnish just such men. Men who are ready at once to- take any acceptable part in the activities of the world, and to make the world better by their lives. Many years ago I was present during the building of a great railroad bridge over a great river. There were men there driving horses that hauled logs from the water, and the horse and the man each got $1 per day. Further along were carpenters shaping the timbers. They got $2.50 per day. Moving briskly among the men was a little man with rule and compass, laying off the work, and he got o per day. Up in the office sit ting quietly smoking a cigar by a table covered with maps and calcu lations was the engineer in charge, without whose designs and educated brain none of the others would have had a job, and he got four times as much as the foreman. The trained hands of the carpenters could prob ably cut the timbers better than he could, but he knew more than they did why they were cut so and how much of the strain each was to carry. It was the greatest example of the value of educated brains and trained hands I ever saw. The hewers of wood and the drawers of water were on the same plane as the horses they drove because the only thing they had developed was muscle, and mere mus cle brings its owner less money in this world's work than any thing else. Just to the extent the man develops brain power will his reward increase. The world is full of men who by rea son of lack of mental ability or the force of circumstances have not be come skilled in any department of in dustry, and who therefore will always be the hewers of wood and the draw ers of water, while the men who develop their mental powers and at the same time gain manual skill in some line will be paid just in propor tion to the mental development. Educated men, who know how to do something, will always be the leaders in every enterprise of importance. Not only is this true in the mechani cal pursuits but it is no less true on the farm. The day is past when it was only the bookish lad of the fam ily was thought worthy of an educa tion and the one who was to manage the farm needed none. Men are rapidly learning that the farmers who are developing the land are the men who are students and readers as well as workers. Educated brains and trained hands are as essential to suc cess in agriculture and horticulture as in the shop. In Virginia one wise rich man employed an educated and trained man at f5,000 a year to man age his great truck farm, and he did it with such success that the farm was the greatest money maker in all the State, and after the owner died the heirs continued the contract. It is for the development of the brain power in agriculture that the college would work. But in this effort we are met by the fact that the farmers when they send their sons to college want them to study anything but agriculture. Never having farm ed successfully themselves many have a notion that there is no need for an education if a man is to be a farmer. They look upon farming as a handi craft that can be learned only behind a mule, and have failed to realize that it is one of the most learned profes sions, since it includes a knowledge of several sciences.. The fact that the student farmers, the men who read and think, are today the most suc cessful does not seem to be under stood by the average farmer in the South. When he sends his boy to get an education he wants to have him take a place among the learned DUST New York. Boston. professions or to be an engineer or I mechanic, any of which he imagines is better than the farm. Hence it often happens that a boy whose whole taste and adaptability "is for the farm is , forced into the engineering course, J only to find that it does not suit him. and he finally goes back to the farm, without the education which would have better fitted him for the life which he is to follow. Every cotton mill that is built is taking men away from the farms and making them con sumers instead of prodncers of food, and the greater the extension of the milling industry the greater the need of educated farmers and gardeners to feed these operatives. To meet the needs of those who can stay but a short time and who wish in that time to get all the information they can about farming, the two-year short course in agriculture has been devised, and in like manner for those who wish merely to becouce skilled mechanics the short course in me chanics has been arranged, and aside from any scholastic education the effort will be made to help the men who merely want the manual training in shop, garden or field, so that all may know how to do something well when they leave. The college is emphatically the school for the workers, the cranks who turn tne world, the men with a hobby about which they want to know all that can be learned. We owe it today to the generosity of the manu facturers that there is any cotton mill machinery in the col.ege, while the State of South Carolina, starting her college since ours was started, has appropriated over half a million dol lars for buildings and has erected and equipped a textile school as large as most cotton mills, has built handsome residences for president and faculty, and furnishes, with the Federal ap propriations, near $100,000 annual iu come for the college, or about three times what the North Carolina Col lege has. The South Carolina Col lege has been pushed forward by the liberality of the State, while the North Carolina College has grown in spite of jealousies and niggardly appropri ations. Thejcollege is full of farmers'' sons whom their lathers are trying to educate away from the farm. The farmers, from lack of interest in their own profession, cut but a small figure in the rolls, lieing deep in tne old ruts themselves, they only seem to care to get their boys into the great machine that is swallowing up the young manhood of the State, and leaving the farms to desolation and gullies, lue notion that any young man can be run into a common mould and made an engineer or a textile ex- trsrt is one oi the mistakes that is hzing made, and many a good farmer or gardener will be spoiled to make a mechanic or an engineer out or the wrong material. If the production of cotton is to keep pace with the con struction of cotton mills, there must be an improved agriculture. If the increasing number of mill hands is to be fed, there must be more intensive farming to do it, and the field for the farmer is fully as inviting as for the mechanic. One great reason tor the preponderance cf the Mechanical over the Agricultural course or study is the misconception of the scope of the course in Agriculture. It is not the purpose of the college in any of its ljular courses to teach traders and the course in Agriculture is really the thorough course in science and the application of science. While it cer tainly prepares a man to be a more successful farmer, it is not so narrow that the graduate must of necessity be a farmer. He may find as his course ot study progresses, as many have found, that his life work should be in the chemical laboratory, in bot any, in horticulture or in station in vestigation involviug a knowledge ot pure science. He has a broad field for selection of his life work and if his love for the farm leads him to the farm, the State will be better off by one good farmer who has an accurate knowledge of the sciences on which the culture of the soil depends. The cat end of anv education is to enable the man to lind out what he is fitted for, and to enable him to do that well. There are thousands of farmers' sons who will make experts in the mechanical pursuits, and there are thousands of others who love the farm and only need a better training to develop their capacity in that direction. We hive no sympathy with the notion that a boy should go to the farm merely because his father farmed or that boy should stay in the shop because his father is a me chanic. But we utterly repudiate the notion that because a boy has not brains enough to comprehend mathe matics and mechanics, that he has brains enough for the course in agri culture. If a man has not intellect enough to take either a mechanical or scientific education, the bes,t thing is to train his hands at something and make him a crood workman in some sort of labor. The college is "cramped, cabined and confined" for lack of equipment for its work. It needs a large audi torium in place of the little room given up to the textile work. It needs a good building for this textile department. It needs room for the hundreds of young men who would be here if there was room for them. It needs means for the improvement of its farm, larger laboratories and equipment. In fact it needs doubling its present size and force. With the capacity to take them it would not be long before the students were num bered by the thousands instead of hand reds. What is North Carolina going to do for her farmers and mechanics? M.

RATHER THAN BE BEATEN HE RETIRES FROM SENATORIAL CONTEST. Ciracefully and Qoed Natarcdly the uallaat Old War Hons Aaaoanccs Withdrawal and Thaaks tils Frteads for Promised Support 5o Many Had Pledced Themselves to Other Candidates He Could Not Win. Governor Jarvis has announced his withdrawal from the race for the United States Senatorahip, having given the following letter to the press: Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 12. 1900. Mb. Editor: When I announced my candidacy for a seat in the United States Senate I thought it likely that a majority of the Democratic voters might desire me to be their candidate to represent the people of North Car olina in that great body. I have since learned that many friends throughout the State who might, under other cir cumstances, have supported me, have committed themselves to other gen tlemen. It is now apparent to me that a large number of the Democratic voters are looking elsewhere for their candidate. I have no disposition to question the wisdom of their course or to contend against it. Under existing conditions it would not be reasonable in me to ask further support from friends to whom I am already so largely indebted for their past kind services. I therefore beg to use your columns to announce to the public that I am no longer a candi date. This leaves me absolutely free to work for party success in Novem ber. In thus eliminating my personal in terest I wish it distinctly understood that I do not abate one jot or tittle of my deep interest in the success of the Democratic party. The Democracy of North Carolina onght to give Bryan and Stevenson a rousing majority and elect a solid Democratic delegation to the House of Representatives. It can be done if every Democrat will do his duty. I shall go forward to do mine, and I appeal to every Democrat to be at his post of duty until the closing of the polls. The election of a Demo cratic Senator is already assured. Now let us send nine Democrats to the House to co-operate with him. THOS. J. JARVIS. A BIT OF HISTORY.

Hale, editor of the Fayetteville Obser ver, proposed that those who would vote for Bryan and the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Novem ber election should also be permitted to vote in the primary. Major Hale argued that thousands of Populists would vote the Democratic ticket ia November if a chance was given tbesa to vote for Senator. Just before the meeting of the com mittee this writer was standing talk ing with Chairman Simmons when two of his friends came up with a copy of Maj. Hale's resolutions. One of these friends of Chairman Simmons calling attention to the resolutions said: -'If this passes there are hun dreds of Populists throughout the State who will vote for Bryan and the Democratic candidate for Congress, in order to vote against you, for the Populists hate you more bitterly than they do any other Democrat in the State. If I were you I would oppose the resolution." Mr. Simmons did not hesitate a moment, but said: "lam fully aware, gentlemen, that what you say is true. The Populists bate me as no other Democrat in the State, and I believe many of them will vote our ticket for the purpose of voting against me. but I don't believe there will be enough of them to defeat me. Even if there were, a Democrat will be elected to the Senate, and these Populist votes may insure North Carolina1 electoral vote to Bryan and the election of nine Democrats to Congress from the State. Just at this time when the party is threatening the South with reduced representation in Congress and the enactment of another force bill, when a Republican President and Congress can do so much to nullify our consti tutional amendment, it is of the ut most importance that a Democratic President and Congress be elected. By extending the qualifications for voting iu the primary as suggested in this resolution we may secure vote for Bryan and our nominees for Con gress. The loss of one or two Con gressmen from this State might mean a Republican Congress. I want my friends not to consider me, but the interests of the Democratic party, and I hope tbey will vote for the reso lution." When the committee met. Mr. Sim mons'1 friends did vote for the reso lution and it was adopted. Now we understand there are many Populists throughout the State who openly boast that they will vote the Democratic ticket "in order to get a chance at Simmons.M We bear of some of them in Iredell county. It is hoped the Democrats will see to it that Chairman Simmons'' patriotic de votion to the Democratic party when , he knew it would be hurtful to his ; individual interests, and he will not go unrewarded. F. M. Simmon is. above all. a patriotic Democrat. ' Statesville Mascot. Heretofore the measurement of the ' earth was estimated, bnt American ' scientists bare actually measured it.
