Some of tb most Illustrious char meters of the past years have been close v connected with this town, in her struggles. ' The town was peculiarly fortunate in laving been located amid such favor able surroundings. The river on one aide has offered water transportation and in a treasure, has secured com petitive rates from the railroads. Then lbs town has been backed up by a pros- "perous farming section, which has as sured her life and growth. Manufac turing Interests have found a profit "able field for investment in her midst. All this has gone on till now we find that we have a city of no mean im portance on our hands. But we cannot live on past pros perity alone. A successful past is a good thing, but it will not do to de pend on when it comes to pushing ahead for the future. Every tub should stand on' its own bottom, aod every town must sooner or hter be- judged upon its merits "both natural and acouired. Tbat Kinston has great natural merits no one will deny. That she has acquired Dosltion by her acquisitions will not be denied. But ouf town must make sure of her position by securing herself against epidemics, whether of sickness or loss a, ny Ore, DY - providing sewerage ana waterworks. Our IMPERATIVE NEED is to look to JPOTTTEB development and not sim ply to a successful past. i if. , . The. papers bare recently brougl to us the. new that fireensboro has actually cleared $1,0110 a month from ber investment in waterworks and elec tric lights.1 This she has done besides f urtUsjiing, her citizens with ample ser vice' Ifyiotb epattfaenis.. o- If Greensboro can make this enter prise so. successful, why cannot Kins ton do likewise? We are already sue cessfully operating an electric plant so that our streets are lighted very cheaply; but there is a shortage in the supply of electricity. Why not make the supply adequate? We can and we must do it. f. tt n n mm n t!i J. Preparations Under Way e Begta ft Greet Work UecJa SasaV Rights la) Celeasbla. .' lrig the tt r F a. n a. m a C a. n a 1 WILL SOLVE ITSELF. In an exceedingly weir written ar ticle, Prof. David W. Parker, of the .. t Bessemer, Ala., colored schools offers ( a useful contribution to the solution of the so-called race problem. The fact that Parker is a negro, Jhlghly " educated, and not writing ifor political purposes lends much , weight to what he says. ' , , Be makes a happy hit when he says: White people of sense and character favor the betterment of "the condition of oar people regardless of color or P reed., t liave faith tn theold piasters, Mod their sons because they know ; the negro better, and treat him with more consideration than the politician who uses hiia for help, plunder and power. The fidelity and the devotion of the black man to duty shielded and pro ' lected the ' home of ? the confederate soldier, and raised the meat and corn f that fed the heroic armies of Lee and . Jackson Ignorant as be was s the negro desired freedom, but be was - true W his trust. At the gra ve of the faithful slave let the. Blue and the Gray forgive and : forget because the negro is hearty and happy in the .. sunny south. y-.

Heither the sun nor the moon, nor the -' start have .deserted the south. ' The cotton whitens beneath the stars, and the sunshine ripens the golden grain.

Gentleman ant) Capitalist. Hartford dourant. Let us hope that the vigilant New port reporters of the metropolitan journals are mistaken in what they send from there about the preliminaries of the Impending wedding of young Reginald Vanderbilt, thegilded youth who has not seemed to care to visit New York since Canfleld's gambling bouse was raided, inese reporters say that young Vanderbilt is securing his marriage license recorded himself as a "gentleman" and that his fiancee recorded the occupation pursued bv her father as that of a "gentleman. Incidentally they mention that the young Vanderbilt recorded his late father, Cornelius, as having been capitalist." No blundering fool could have de vised more tactless entries than thesa. Cornelius Vanderbelt was a railroad president, that was the distinguishing mark livery man wno nas ten oents in his Dockets and a meal in tils stom acb is Is capitalist. The difference is only a degree. " Capitalist" as an appeuauon or as an occupation la a misuse of language, and if it is used to indicate excessive wealth, it is vul gar and obtrusive. n n n wn n n u n it w n HENIYesfdentBwaeveltrtgfstrocluon.'
