ERI DEAD
M'PHKT-
Ralelgh is again called upon, to
mourn the death of one of It3 be9t as
well as one of Its oldest citizens, MaJ.
McPhecters, who rasped away to his
final reward at his home in this city
late yesterday afternoon. For a year
or more his health has been failing,
gradually, but perceptibly, o that the
end was not unexpected. He had
reached a ripe old age, the greater
part of" which was spent here, and
devoted to works of usefulness, public
enterprise ard charity. Generous in
deed as well as In sentiment, he exem
plified In his dally walk the good works
of the Christian citizen. He was ac
tive until the recent rast. In all move
ments looking to the material as well
as social and religious upbuilding of
the city. Truly a good man, a true
friend, a generous, upright citizen, an
earnest Christian has passed to-his re
ward. The sympathies of the entire
community go out to his venerable
widow and" surviving children In this
their hour of greatest sorow.
Charity and Children states:
"Prof. E. P. Hohpood of th- Oxford
Seminary, tcld us not long ago that

The re-election of Mr. Clements, the
faithful and efficient County Superln
tendent of Education, by the county
board, was but the fulfilment of pub
He expectation and public duty. Pains
taking, energetic, experienced in ' the
duties as well as in what Is required
of teachers, familiar with the condi
tions of those dependent upon the pub
lie schools, he has impressed himself
upon the public as one of its most use
ful and successful officials. The Post
is pleased to see. In this re-election,
an evidence that public school Inter
ests are to be promoted and. enlarged
A rumor reached The Post Monday
night, in such a manner as .to be ac
cepted as fact, that the board of educa
tion had decided to reduce the salary
of the County Superintendent. Upon
enquiry we learn the board has taken
no such action, and the publication of
the report has called forth such uni
versal expression of disapproval that
we are sure the Intelligent and patri
otic gentlemen of the board will not
listen to-a proposition of that kind.
Instead of reducing the salary of this
important officer it should be Increased.
M. Clements earns every cent of the
sum paid him,- and more too. It is
no light work that the County Super
lntendent of Wake is called upon to
perform, nor is it a position that "any
body can fill." There are no doubt
many able-bodied statesmen who have
time to spare to sit around and tell
exactly how the government ought to
be run for one-half the cost, who would
u
Jump at the office of County Superin
tendent of Education, or even the
Bishopric of the Church, for one-half
the sum paid now to the Superintend
ent; but the result would soon be men
tal and moral bankruptcy for the
school children and the membership of
the church were they to land.
The school children of Wake are en
titled to the best services the best
practical, business judgment and ad
ministrative capacity that can be sup
pliedand such service is worth more
than Is now paid the gentleman who
is successfully filling the duties of
the office. . We are gratified to
learn, therefore, that the report as to
a reduction of his salary was an error,
and to believe that our present board
will not entertain such a proposition.

While the growth Is encouraging, the
number Itself emphasizes the growing
demand for such agitation as will not
enly fill th& higher rchools and colleges
we now have, but get even other col
leges for the thousands of other girls
vho ought -to have the advantages of
such training. We have no doubt but
that much the larger per cent of in
crease In numbers has been within the
pasi nve years, since the State has
experienced an awakening upon the
Importance of education. There are
CC.003 yourig women at least in this
State of higher school age. The con
lesi is not now as to where the 1.7C0
or ;C0O shall go, but to arouse the pa
rents of the other more thwi 40,000
to the necessity of tending their
daughters to a college. So far we have
had higher school facilities beyond the
demand, or use made of them.- Now
thij supply will be met by this Increas
ing attendance. There Is room for more
at ev?ry college . than we now have,
but there are a great many more ijlrls
than present facilities will accommo
date If all who ought to attend should

Characteristic of tlae Old Roman
(Kington Free Press.)
Geri. Matt W. Ransom, the "Old
Roman" of North Carolina history,
spent last night in the city and regaled
a number of his friends with reminis
cences of bygone days. He delivered
an address to the Confederate veterans
at Greenville yesterday and ran over
to spend last night in Kington.
From one attending the reunion at
Greenville yesterday the: following In
teresting item was learned, which is
characteristic of the "Old Roman":
After General Ransom had finished
his talk to the surviving "Johnny
Rebs" yesterday, an old soldier step
ped up and, extending his hand, said:
"Howdy do, General; I guess you don't
know me." General ' Ransom grasped
his hand and replied: "Why, how are
you, Tom? That I do know you,'
recognizing him, though he had not
seen him since the war.
The old veteran then recalled an In
cident which happened at the first bat
tle of Kinston in the early part of the
rivil war, which ran like this:
He, with six others, was being tried
for desertion, and General Ransom,
not believing them guilty, appeared be
fore the court-martial in their behalf
and gained their discharge.
Afterward the men. made up a purse
of $750 and offered it to the General,
but he refused the purse and told them
to send it to their wives.
This generous act made a deep im
pression on the men, and they never
forgot it.
General Ransom returned to his
home In Halifax county this morning.
