The Wayne County Sunday School Con
vention will meet in this city on Friday
next and will continue through Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, October . 6 and 7.
Its officers are II. K. Parker, Jr., presi
dent; George L Hood, secretary; J. W.
Thompson, G. W. LMgerton and George
S. Pritchard. executive committee. Jo
seph L Peterson is chairman of the
entertainment committee. "Great prepa
ration is being made to make this the
greatest and best county convention ever
held. Saturday morning it is purposed
to hold a mass-meeting of the Sunday
schools and friends of the Sunday sehdol
cause, and all such will assemble on the
courthouse green at 10 o'clock and march
in grand pioc'ssin to convention hall.
J. W. Itrvan is chief marshal. His as
sistants are the several township presi
dents. J. K. Dunbar of Norfolk will
have charge of the music, which will
be an attractive feature of the conven
tion. By many wise men in the Sunday
school work good singing is regarded as
an indispensable thing. This idea pre
vails among the leaders here; hence, if
you are fond nf good music, then don t
miss the convention. Among the promi
nent speakers to be present are Ii. K.
I.acy, president f The State Sunday
School A-ociati.m: Kevs. F. W. Fai
ries. W. Carev Newton, P. W. Spillman,
F. D. Swindell. J. W. Bryan. John C.
Kilgo, president of Trinity College, and
Messrs. R. X. Simms. Jo H. Weathers,
George E. Hood. K. B. Raiford. II. B.
Parker. Jr.. and Joseph E. Peterson.
The last-named will deliver the address
of welcome. Important topics have been
selected and it is thought great good will
come to the Sunday school cause from
this great gathering of workers.
Heretofore when the convention has
been held in the city our country friends
have complained at the lack of interest
manifested by Sunday school workers of
the city. Now this will not of course
be the case this time. Certainly We
have in the city a very large. number
who are active Sunday school work?r-
nnd many, while not regarded in the
active line, are friends and well-wishers
w ho can and will hnd their presence to
this cause and this convention, so praise
worthy. Should there appear any lack
f interest on the part of our city folks
this time. The Post man will do the in
forming act. Seriously, the Sunday
M-hool workers of the ctv cannot afford
not to attend this convention, fraught as
it is with such grave responsibilities.
I have a letter from Dr. A. 11. Miller
of Kinston, advising that I "was in error
in saying his rabbits were "German, of
the jack rabbit species." etc., they being
Belgian hares. I hasten to correct and
say that I am advised that Dr. Miller
will start a rabbirrv in Kinston.
Charles V. Webb of Morehead City
was a visitor here today.
Governor-elect Aycoek went to Fre
mont this afternoon to fill his appoint
ment. He told The Post man on the
eve of his departure . for the scene of
action, in answer to the question. "Gov
ernor, what will yon discuss today?"
that he would discuss nothing. This
positively assured me that onr Fremont
friends would be given a rare treat today,
for of a truth the Governor can "discuss
nothing" the best of any man I ever saw.
J wish sometimes I had the Governor to
tackle the news-serving business for me.
Seriously, it's a fact that the Governor
usually makes his greatest speeches when
he is fully persuaded in his ofJ mind
that he is unfit and that he will'aitempt
,no real speech-making. He tried very
hard to get Col. W. T. Dortch to go
along and help him out. but in this he
failed, for the Colonel had no desire to
go to Fremont ami let the Governor
have all the honors of this visit to his
old home-folks.
The subject of "Man's Inhumanity to
Man"- is being discussed in the streets
lure today as a result of the horrible
execution of Kinsauls at Clinton yester
day. No one for a moment upholds Kin
sauls' crime, but quite a number regard
the hanging as taking on the brutal.
Rev. Frank M. Royall passed through
for New Bern, where he will preach to--'
morrow ior iiev. mgnt. t;. .Moore, l- rank
is holding up splendidly for the great
amount of preaching he is doing. He
tells me he preaches every day and'
sometimes two sermons a day.
Cotton was selling today at 10.10 and
the streets were lined with carts and
wagons loaded with the staple. Indeed,
our merchants are making no kick at
the tremendous crowds assembling here
Saturdays, guilty of purchasing fall and
winter supplies and immediate necessi
ties. Frank Coxe has had a painful acci
dent. The other evening he attempted
to mount a horse and was thrown no;
he fell off. and his right arm was broken.
A. L. Jackson left this afternon for
Statesville on a visit to old friends.
Funeral services were held this after
noon over the remains of the infant child
of Mr. Sanders in Edmundson Town,
conducted by Pastor Carey W. Newton.
At the corner of Ashe and William
streets two little white loys fought.
They had a rough-and-tumble experience
for several moments. Both tiring, they
got up and brushed each other's clothes
and parted, one of them going down Ashe
nnd the other down William street. The
little fellow who went down Ashe street
feeling a smarting of the face, wiped
the spot with his hand, and finding blood
there he yelled, threw down the package
he carried and made for the boy on Wil
liam street, who. it seems, had a pre
vious engagement, for it is said he went
his way at a higher rate of speed than
the Ashe-street boy had at his serviqe.
Henry Jones, the negro held on sus
picion of having stolen a mule, is still
heixxf held. Henry tells many tales. This
morning the. chief of police, in answer
to his inquiry, ;told Henry that a muie
had been stolen in Wilson councv and
other places; that this one had lost a
mule and that one had lost a mule, when,
to the surprise of those gathireJ, Hoiry
Jones sighed and said he had once upon
a time been robbed of a mule.
Services in all the churches tomorrow.
'At the First Baptist Church Pastor New
ton will preach in the mornijg on the
subject, "Responsibility of Power"; in
the evening, on the interesting theme,
'The pillar of salt, or how transient
action becomes permanent character."
Zeke Rouse, one of the evu escaped
convicts, is back with Saor.ff Scott. He
.was captured in Duplin, near Faison,
and brought here last night by Mr. Giles
Martin, who reports quite a hnvy yam
and wind storm in his community last
evening. "Many trees and fences were
bh wu down. The rain here was a good
one and the wind was strong, but
no damage was done in the city.

Chapel Hill, N. C, Sept. 29.
Correspondence of The Morning Post.
The second week of the University's
term has passed and the total number of
'matriculates is 4(1 which means way
iibovo the 500 mark before the close of
the year.
The Freshman class numbers 119
members and the Sophomore class has
103 which is much larger than any other
Sophomore class that has ever been here.
Of lasc year's youxg ladies wuo were pur
suing studies in the University three of
them are back, Miss Burke has been
elected to a professorship at Peace, Miss
Jones will teach at St. Marv s, Miss
Latham will be in the public schools at
San Antonio, lexas, and Miss Leah
Jones has a desirable position at Bix
line, Mass. Nine others have entered
for the first time this year.
The year just opening promises to be
one of the most remarkably successful
in all its history. Among the many
interesting events to hapnen will be the
inauguration of Dr. F. 1. Veuable as
pnesident.
The helpful lectures delivered by mem
bers of the University faculty wu. be
continued and Drs. Baskerville and Al
exander are now selecting a course of
lectures from the most noted speakers of
this and other countries.
Dr. Eben Alexander has been elected
Dean of the faculty to succeed Prof.
Gore, resigned. Ihe election of Dr. Al
exander gives universal satisfaction to
the students with whom he is very pop
ular, though Prof. Gore won the esteem
of all and resigned only because of extra
work that will take much of his time.
The Tar Heel came out lqr the first
time yesterday and will now be regular

The Greensboro Water Supply Company
is in the hands of a receiver. This action
was taken befare Judge Jas. E. Boyd,
of the United States Circuit Court, sit
ting at chambers in this city this morn
ing, and was brought about at the in
stance oif the Guaradian Trust and
Bonding Co., of Baltimore, holders of
$110,000 bpnds of the water supply com
pany. Insolvency is charged in that the
company has not paid the interest on its,
bonds. Mr. R. R. King, of this city, is
appointed receiver by Judge Boyd.
There is some conjecture as to the ef
fect this turn of affairs will hare upon
the proposed purchase of the water
plant by the city. Various opinions are
being expressed, some to the effect that
it will end the whale affair and that thy
city will have to put in a aiew iiant.
while others say it will expedite matters
1 and make it easier for the city to secure
; the old plant. At -any rate the water-
works question in Greensboro seems nt

It will be remembered last year
a State League was formed with the
avowed purpose of purifying -athletics
in North Carolina. M.wr of the promi-
somewhat similar incident a week or
two ago. During the recent water famine
a number of the preachers in this city
called a public meeting at the Baptist
church and prayed for rain. The drouth
was generally throughout this section
of the State. Forty miles south of us.
at Ore Hill, a man had been left in
charge of the Steel & Iron Company's
property, including some small patches
of farming land which he had planted in
corn. It was getting pretty dry there
about the time of the meeting here, and
this man's corn, even some low ground
Hatches along a small creek, was be
ginning to suffer. On Saturday -night the
rain came, in gulley washing and trash
from a summer outing at Roaring Gap.

The State league met and adopted very
stringent rules, even more so than the
S. I. A. A. laws, but with these ml -s.
there is absolutely no way of enforcing
them. Among their rules is one that the
teams cannot play any college except
under the guidance of the North Caro
lina Athletic Association. Although
several games have been arranged with
North Carolina teams, they wi.t all
have to be cancelled, as they will not
play us under other rules. They also
say that a post-graduate law play only
one vear, other students can play but
four- rears, and after June no student j 'rcu.111iej m p,r

for it to pursue, however, much it re

Two Classes of Timber Available for
Senatorial Candidates
To the Editor of The Post:
The voters of this countr'v have two
classes from which to select their candi- J
dates for office the professional politi- j
cians, men who start out to make thtir j
living out of politics, and the subs-tan-;
tial working business men, those who by '
their industry and close application sue-'
ceed'in building tip material worth for
themselves and thereby indirectly add
ing to the material growth and develop
ment of the commonwealth. To look
at the matter dispassionately and free
from prejudice, one would naturally
think that the bulk of our ofheers
would be selected from the latter class:
but, strange to say, this is not generally
so, but the reverse is trne. Why? Sim
ply because the mass of the people being
engaged in legitimate work do not give
the attention they should to the manage
ment of tluir public affairs, with the re
sult that the political adventurer is left
paretically in charge of the field to ma
nipulate it to his own advantage, and he
is always ready to take advantage of
just such a state of affairs and work it
to his own political advancement, and in
most cases utterly regardless of the
means he uses. Neither does he care
whether the State is benefited or not, so
he accomplishes his purpose and suc
ceeds in building up a machine for himself-
that will prolong his hold upon of
