Is it right and just, from any stand point, to protect persons who commit disgraceful acts, and by so doing, con done and defend wrong? Wh> is it that there are always some who are ready to defend and befriend a man, who is dishonorable and low enough, to grossly insult a defenseless woman. Let them consider that there is a just punishment for such wicked “protec tion. ” A man expects and demands protection and justice from the public a woman asks just exactly the same, but does she always get it? It is not a matter of chivalry, now adays we haven't time for the super fluous courtesies and attentions of olden times, it is only a matter of justice and common decency. The law offers just this protection to any man, why not a woman? Is it reasonable and equitable to think that any respectable woman would dare accuse a man of felonious insults, and by so doing, drag her name and persDn before the gaze and curio sity of the public, unless she wi^s justified in doing so? Then again if she timedly refrains from publicity, she puts herself in a position to be offered an other insult by the same man at some future time, then the public would have no mercy on her, it would point an accusing ^nger at her She has got to come forward and ask protection, that nght, and she should have it. There are pilenty of people who quietly think about the right protection but that is not sufficient, we need your good experience. In this day of universal Brotherhood and fast approaching Sisterhood, let us not forget in protecting and defending oar brothers and sisters to conscien tiously stand by the right. If we de fend wrong, we encourage it to spread if we protect the right, we not only do our duty but contribute greatly to the world’s good advancement. “A woman.” It cost $125,000 to impeach Sulzer, and the pay for the lawyers ought to come from the bunch of fellows who saw to it that he was put out.

Chapel Hill News. The ^ activitieH of the Community Club oi Chapel Hill are branching in sundry directions looking to the civic betterment of the village and its surrcun^i^ rural communities. Sub sariptias9_ ape being |raised for the equipping ai^ furnishing of a so called “rest room” for women from the country that come to Chapel Hill fur a day's shopping or maybe here for a day’s pleasure. The room being fur nished is to amply accomodate the daily influx of women shoj^rs from the rural ccnnmoiuttes and as implied by ito iKHDelv name is to be a rest room .aaswell as a community home for ihe aev^al vicinities of the county Another venture, of recent date, as advanced by the Community Club, is the concentrating of interest for the organization of a tomato canning club. It the initial meeting of the movement Mrs. McKimmon, of Raleigh, State organi^r of canning clubs, presented the claims of this wide-sprea«l idea for the banding together of girls into a tomato canning organization. R. T. Wyche, president of the Story Tellers* League of America, an alumnus of the University, has within the past few weeks delivei*ed a series of lectures in North Carolina, including Chapel Hill in his itinerary Folk lore in the South as depicted by Joel Chand ler Harris was the theme from which he entertained the University boys. The career of this prince of story tellers is an interesting one to follow from the time that he abandoned the profession of teaching for the love of telling stories, leading to bis rapid rise to the presidency of the national stt»ry tellers’ league. Dr. C, H, Herty and Prof. Collier Cobb, members of the University faculty, were delegates from North Cart^ina to the recent session of the national consertration congress, con vening in Washington City.^^^The University professors pronounce the meetings as decidely successful and that telling blows were recorded for the doctrine of the conserve) tion of the country’s natural resources. Excitement prevailed in certain- portions of the village some days ago when reports, well verified, came to the ears of the students that a bear had been a visitor to one of the boarding houses. Some of the students accounted for the bear’s visit to so highly a civilized community as a mission in search of Thanksgiving turicey.

John Brown Tennessean and American. Many times it has been said that “John Browt’s body lies mouldering in the ground, while hia soul goes man:hing on.” Who was the said ‘John? ’ If the truth was told, he was a robber and murderer, in Kansas, before going to Virginia to stir up the negroes against the whites. As you will remember, John Brown was captured at Harper’s ferry, by Robert E. Lee and J, E. B. Stuart. The one a captain and the other a lieutenant in the United States army. Being turned oyer to the state authorities. Brown was regularly tried and justly hanged. Henry A. Wise, whj was at the time governor of Virginia, received thousands of threate ning letters, a number of which he published. Replying to all such letters, he said that he would bang John Brown if it required the life of every man, woman and child in the state to aecomplish it. Brcwn, under the impression that the negroes would not know how to use guns, shipped into the state carloads of shappointed spikes to be handled by the slaves. These deadly weapons were never used, as intended, because of the fact that the Virginia negroes had been so well trained that they would not associate with “poor white trash,” in any enterprise. Brown was a greately disappointed man, having hoped for a general up rising of the negroos, but receiving not a single recruit. The negroes who were true to their homes then em phasized their faithfulness during our four-year war. It is well to keep on remembering that the women and children of the south were carefully watched over, while their natural protection were with Lee and Jackson, Stuart and Forrest. After the hanging of Jol'n Brown, four others who accompanied him were hanged, two whites and two negroes. Cook and Coppick were the whites, and Green and Copeland, the negroes. Cook, on the gallows, was frightened, but Coppick acted with much bravery. Coppick encouraged his partner by saying that it would soon be oyer, and that they would be landed where there was no more trouble Cook was a brother-in-law of the then governor of Indiana, and he was defended on his trial by Dan Voorh^^es, a famous orator The wonderful speech of Voorhees made such a)- impression on Virginians that he was more than once called to defend men accused of great crimes. Encounters Tough Hill. After Franklin Studebaker Riley had finished a trip in his Studebaker car from South Bend to Boston and return, he reported that he had met with but one instance of trouble, be ing compelled to shift gears on one unusually steep hill. This would not have been the case, he said, but for the fact that there was a railroad crossing part way up, which prevent ed his acquiring the usual momentum. J. T, Carter, agent. The State of the Patient. Dermatologist Clark, diagnotician of legislative leprosy has, been om- niously silent for several days as to the state of the patient. The public is left to conjecture as to the reason for this. Has the case gone so far that the patient is beyond the reach even of so eminent a specialist? Or, on the oth er hand, has the absent treatment proved so efficacious that the afflict ed has been discharged from further observation? Of course, there is still another possible explanation of the silence of the physician of the body politic, but that contingency is so remote as to be practically negligible. We do not be lieve—we cannot bring: ourselves to believe—that, having made such an emphatic pronouncement, the prac titioner has decided that, after all, he was mistaken in his diognosis.— Greensboro News, Federal prisoners are forced to strip Defore being shot “so the clothes may not be perforated by bullets.” This disposes of the charge that Latin-Americans and thriftless. Colored Farmer’s Success (Philadelphia Record.) One colored farmer in South Caro lina started work with a $40 horse. It took him four years to buy a mule for $69 and seven acres of land. He now owns a $40,000 plantation, employs 189 hands, has saved on an average $3,000 a year for twenty-two years, and en joys such good credit that he has boi- rowed and paid back as much as $23,- 000 in one ^e&r from his local bank.
