The opening exercises of the State Normal and In dustrial College yesterday we;e pecu liarly impressive, appropriate, and elo quently shadowed with saddened digni ty. Instead of the usual, bright, hap py, smiling faces of the enthusiastic students upon a return for another year's work, there was the impress of sorrow stamped upon each face on ac count of the deplorable loss of Dr. Mc Ivez, the creator of the institution, its foundeT, its only President and tire- Jessly faithful friend since it was or ganized less than fifteen years ago; for while the whole State will miss him, none will miss or grieve over hia loss as will his students, who more than any one else could realize fully what his death meant to them, to the college, to thecause of woman's educationl rights, aa a duty from the Stated There were over six hundred students in the auditorium when President Foust, Dean of the college faculty, and selec ted as acting president until the selec tion of a successor to Dr. Mclver pres ident Rev.

It was only yesterday that State Su perintendent Joyner was heard from, He wired at ten o'clock from Asheville that he would arrive on the first pos sible train, this showing that he had probably just reached Asheville by pri vate' conveyance from Mitchell county, and then first heard of the death of Dr. Mclver. In the discussion of Dr. Mc Iver's successor, all eyes here involun tarily turn to Mr. Joyner and there is no doubt felt from expressions heard from some of the board of directors, that could have been reached, and the fact learned that he ; would resign his present high and responsible position, he would have been elected at tne meet ing yesterday. ' , Mr. Joyner arrived last night Ho said he got the news of Dr. M elver's death in Mitchell county Tuesday night, but the mountain streams were so swe len he could not reach Marion, 22 miles across the mountains by private con veyance. He took a local train at sev en o clock Wednesday mornmtr at Spruce Pine, went by Johnson City, Tenn., and had been travelling every hour of the time since then until he reached Greensboro at aix o'clock last evening. ,, ' , Yesterday afternoon nfBoers returned from Raleigh with Kiser Crutchfield, his son Oscar and Frank Bohannon, against whom bills of indictment had just been found for the murder of fore man Beachman at the railroad construc tion camp near Jamestown lastaummer.

Bradshaw has been retained as ounceI for Bohannon and ex-Judge W, P. Bynum, Jr., and CoL John A. Barringer will appear for the Crutchflelds. As next week is a special term, over which Judge Long will preside, Judge Koore did not order a special venire, thatheviug to be ordered Monday by the juie who tries the case. It is not probable that either one of the eleven capital cases on the docket will be ta ken up this week, as the time will be devoted to clearing the jail of other ca ses of smaller moment If all these cases are contested it wDl be hardly poea'.ble to dispose of more than half of them next week In the trial yesterday of the case alnst Clarence Fruitt, a young white l y from i:,.'a Point charged wildi the 1 i "-v of a Iteam it devehmed that U.e di." -,t had crully bent the hor- PSft' JJ.i jo l.oore took occasion to t1 1' ;,t he wan in favor cf the whipp- J f t I 2 rc-e '..lli .hod for two of 1 namely those who f "S cruel to dumb animals and those v '.9 aliuseand b'ttt a hcli-hiHS women, '"if -.I there is nothing wvtae than ; a t ba;Jmal excit to im i 1 1 1 "t a w:k and deppnd- !.

On account of the cerious race troubles in Atlanta, the mayor has deemed it best to revoke the license of Tom Dixon's play "The Clansman," booked to appear here Wednesday night Steps may be taken to keep the play entirely out of the theatres of Georgia. The public is not favorable to its second production. A Judge's Decision On Tobacco. A Judge of the Carolina Courts, who is evidently a good judge of tobacco as well as law, wrote recently that he had been using sun cured tobacco for forty years, but in all his experience had foundnone so good as REYNOLDS, which was first offered to the trade four years ago. Previous to that time chewer after chewer of tobacco made too sweet took to Schnapps and other brands of flue-cured (which required and had less sweetening than any other class of tobacco produced), until there were ten times more pounds chewed ot Schnapps and other brands of flue-cur ed tobaccos than the entire production of sun cured. Soon after its product ion, REYNOLDS' SUN CURED grew so big in sales on quality that R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company for the last two or three years has purchased not less than one-half of the entire amount of the farmers production of sun cured tobacco and their purchases in the sec-1 tion or territory where the best sun cur ed tobacco grows- have stimulated the j farmers to increase the production of sun cured tobncco. REYNOLDS' SUN CURED is not only pure sun cured tobacco, but it is choice selections made from sun cured tobacco grown where tho best sun cured tobacco grows. DR. DIVER'S LIFE IK!

At yesterday morning's exercises of the State Nor mal and Industrial Collage,; there were present Dr., J. B. Carlyleof the faculty of Wake Forest College, who, ton liis way to make an educational address in Caswell county,' had called to pay his respects to Mrs. Mclver and family, and extend his condolence to the officers of the Institution in its bereavement and loss, and State Superintendent of Public Instruction J.. Y. Joyner, who; had only last, (the night before) reach ed Greensboro from hia mountain trip. J Dr. Carlyle being requested by Dean Foust made a few remarks to the stu dents, full of sympathy in the loss and of encouraging hope . for the future work. He assured those present that the very best way to show an appre ciation of the greatness of the founder and father of the college would be to keep up its high standard of excellence in all that made for Christian character and honest worth. Superintendent Joyner then made a touching and eloquent talk to the stu dent, being plainly so full of grief himself, his words of consolation and of encomium were made doubly im pressive by the personal struggle to control his feelings. His first sentence struck a chord of sympathy from every pulsing sweet heart of the vast audi ence of noble, blessed women present, when he began by saying, "I do most need comfort in this dark hour, to try to speak a word of comfort and courage to you of our dear departed, He was your President; he was my friend; God knit our souls together witn a love too sweet to last; too strong, thank God to die.'- . . . f- r "He truly gave his life for this work aa ever a martyr gave hia life for any work on earth and for the same high motives. He had often said to me when I pleaded with him to rest a little here, "I cannot rest until my work is done. My joy is in my work, I had rather do it the best I can and live a little shorter time." ' : It was true, he could not rest when he saw so much work to do. and so tit tle time to do it Souls like his are too high to live out the three score years and ten allotted unto man, or if by rea son of strength such aa was his by na ture, four score years, if that strength must be preserved by holding back the power that God gave them to elevate and bless the world. He rested not un til he found rest prepared of God for souls like his. : i - "I went with him beyond the last fall mainly that I might tempt him to take a little rest which. ! knew he would not tare here. The memory of those long hours we spent together in that pilgrimage of rest beyond the seas remains with me now and shall remain forever the sweetest memory of my life. '- ' He died as he wanted to die-in the midst of the conflict, in the service of his town and people, in seeking honor for his lriend. His work and his duty he always put above himself, and was always willing to spend and be spent for them." , s State Superintendent J. Y. Joyner, just as he was taking the train for Ral eigh yesterday afternoon spoke with cordial approval ot the plan to erect bronze statue to the lata Dr. Mclver on the campus of the Normal and Indus trial College, saying he would cheerful ly assist, but he made this very reason-1 able and suirgestive declaration: "What- ever else is done by grateful people to honor the memory of Dr.' Mclver, I know his will enough to know that one thing that would please him moat wouiJ be the estahliiihmcnt of a buje- loan fund at the College that he love I so well, to aid the your.? womenof i;.iulJ nicuns in North Carolina to v e tue education and the power and ti e Lless ii .7 that he gave his I'.fe to make pos g'i', la for them."

Chairman Simmons speaking with reference to the . attitude of Federal office holders in this State towards Leal politics, said to a reporter today that the situation in North Carolina was somewhat anoma lous this year, tie saia tnat oi course everybody knew that the republican party and its convention has been for a -number of ytars controlled and run by the postmasters, revenue officers and other Federal officers of law and high degree, and that these officials had al ways been more or loss active in behalf of their candidates and against Demo cratic candidates, but this year he said they were marshalled as an army under the direction of its chief, and presents a front of organized activity never be fore shown by them in this State. This he said was due to the fact that the President and the Departments of the Government had turned over to the Chairman of t le Republican party all Federal officers in his State not under the civil service. To further strength en the power of the chairman over these office holders, the Republicans at their recent convention in Greensboro passed a resolution requiring all candi dates for Federal positions to file their applications for appointment with the executive committee and to --.agree in writing to abide by the decision of the committee. , This puts every Federal office holder in the State absolutely ' under the control of the Republican Chairman. . He can kill or make alire. Hence the office holders scattered throughout the State, furnish a regu lar army always at the beck and call of the republican chairman. Whenever he commands they must do or take the consequences. . All he has to do is to issue his orders and they must lay aside their public duties if necessary and to obey. v.v: Insurance Commissioner Young an nounces that s meeting of tne two com mittees which were appointed at the meeting of the North Carolina policy holders of the Mutual life and New York Life Insurance Companies which was held here on September 12th is called for Friday, Sept 28th at 12:30 o'clock. . , v ' The Raleigh schools are now open and it In tha Fonnrf. frnm fill nf tham that th a attendance has reached the limit and in several has passed it The need of more room at some of the colleges is very ap parent and within a year's time steps will be taken to meet this need.
