Governor Fowle died on Tues day night, April b'tb. The intelligence of his death reached us only in time for us to make the announcement of his death in last issue. lie was born in Washington, N. C, March 3rd, 1831, and was there fore a little more than 60 years old. For years ho has been prominent in Noith Carolina politics, and every body in the state knows who Gove-iioi- Fowle t was and how he looked. He was educated at Princeton CoK lee. -n . J., and was well known all over North Carolina is a scholarly Judge, an able advocate, a wise counselor, aud a high-toned elms- istratesof the state who died in office, his administration and its sudden termination will form a dis tinct and peculiar chapter in the history of the state. Great honor was shown his mem ory in the imposing fanneral pro cession In the capital city. Hun dreds of distinguished visitors from all parts of the state were in Eal eigh to witness the sad and solemn scene of laying awav to rest the honored and much beloved chiel executive of the gieat fctate over which he ably and impartially pre sided. The State mourns his los3 and thousands of men and women throughout her borders will long cherish the memory of this, one of her great and grand and honored citizens. A scholar, a statesman, a christian has passed away, and the one benediction upon every tongue for him is, inpo.ee reqxdeszat. "SOCIAL EQUALITY." tnn gentleman. His oratorical ability and noble .service rendered the peoplo of the state m numerous eampaigus won for him years ago the distinction of "the silver-tongued orator." When lie was nominated for Goveuor in the Democratic State Convention in 1S88, we remember his line appearance as he was con ducted into that great body of free men who greeted him with deafen ing applause. And we remember, too, Ins masteily speech on that oc casion. e remember also his j;iear speech at Halifax during the following campaign. His tribute to North Carolina was touch.ngly gir.nd. Strongmen brushed away the tears from their eyes as they listened to the eloquent encomiums which he poured out upon this giand old commonwealth which he and they loved with a common tenderness. These were tho only speeches we ever heard from him except a short speech at tho Rocky Mount fair in the fall of 1889. Our personal acquaintance with Govenor Fowle was never intimate; but as far as it extended it was ex ceedingly pleasant. Added to the commendable qualities that went to make up a well-rounded gentle man, he was a fine conversational ist. His home life was said to be beautiful and affectionate in every thing that could engage the sympa thies of a husband and father. And after all, this is the true index to a man's character. In tho home where you see the man in hi3 slip-, pers and gown, where the alternat ing annoyances of home respon Kibilites and the pleasures of home associations play upon the chords of heart aud temper, is the place to learn what tho man really and truly is. And nowhere was Gove nor Fowle a truer and grander man than m the bosom of his own family. lie was well beloved by his own family and the friends who knew him best. He was honored by the people of his state- by tho highest position of trust and confidence within their gift; and these two cir cumstances in a country like outp, where every man has his own choice by means of a free ballot, stamp Daniel Gould Fowle as one ot the f thft crreat state of ICllt UlVl vm. w v I-J North Carolina. Being one of the few chief mag At Weldon Tuesday of last week colored waiters from the Ponce de Leon Hotel, St. Augustine, Fla., were given seats at the regular dining tables in the Atlantic Coast Line hotel. White peoplo were mixed up whith the negroes, and for this breach of Ancrlo-Saxon rights, the Roanoke News of last ft'eek laid some severe strictures upon the management of the Coast Line affairs. And we endorse every word our neighbor said; and if it were possible to put it stronger we would take pleasure in endorsing anything he would say about the matter. Tho truth is, it was an outrage up ou common decency and the pers petrators of this glaring insult up on tho people of Weldon especially and tho public generally, are just ly corndemned for it. Neither the South nor the North is read? for such wholesale social equality as this. The colored peo plo themselves do notdesise it, and would not have it if they could. The distinction of race that has been observed since the first contact between these two races must and' will continue to bo observed, and this distinction must be observed in public places as well as in pri vate. Indeed, there is greater ne cessity for it at a public place like a hotel; for guests there have no control over the circumstances, whereas a man in his own home has a right to exercise his own choice. Such a thing can not longer be tolerated. The entire country will condemn it, and the persons who are responsible for it are not en titled to the slightest respect by either the white or colored race of this country. Llesewherewe print from the Richmond Dispatch an explanation, which we give to our readers for what it is worth to Mr. Emerson and his delense for his conduct. With us, it is worth very little. There was absolutely no excuse for it under any consideration. WAS NOT SOCIAL EQUALITY. FOLK-LORE AND FOLK-CURE. Some of the scientiest who make specialty cf folk lore haye lately been making inquires about the malady which the country peoplo called spring fever It is a malady, through disagreeable than serious. Yet it should be taken note of. While the scientist are inquir ing about the tone of the malady, those who are suffering the lasitude,xnervous uess and melancholia, that are its symp toms, should run the disease out of their systems by means of of that more subtle scientist and folk curest S. S. S. This is particularly necessary, since spring fever leaves the system in such a condi tion that it succumbs readily to diseases that are more dangerous and Jess easily controlled. 8. S. j. is a preventive a well as a remedy. (Richmond Dispatch 12th.) Major 11. M. Sally, superintendent of the Richmond division of the Atlantantic-Cosst Line, and the only official of that system in the city yesterday, was eeen at hi3 of- fice !n the Byrd-Street station by a Dispatch reporter and asked how it came about that a number of negroes were allowed in the rairoid dining rojE-at Weldon last Tuesday night and given seats at the Bame tables with white people. The matter had evidently been brought to tbe attention of Major Sully before , and he gave his expla nation promptly. He said : "The management of the Ponce de Leon Hotel, St. Aagastine, when they engage their help for the winter always contract to take them to Florida and bring them back to New York. uThese people, nearly all of whom are negroes, are carried on specials, the company having plainly intimat ed to tbe hotel folks that it does not care to carry so many negroes in the first class coaches on the reg ular trains. "On the day in question this particular special wa3 expected to arrive at an hoar when no other train and consequently no other passen gers wonld be at the depot. A tel egram was sent ahead to have the meal ready upon the arrival of the party. "Ovingtothe heavy travel on the road the special train was delay ed several hoars, and when it did arrive the negroes without stopping pressed into the dinning-room and took seats at the tables. The man ager was at a loss whet to do , hav ing recieved orders to feed them, "Mr. Emerson was In New York Tuesdav morning, and the Idea that he in any way favors social equality in hotels or elsewhere does him an justice, a3 will be readily understood by anyone acquainted with him. All orders given were with a view that the train would be at the depot while no others were there, and the affair was entirely accidental. . A year or so ago there was some complaint because our company had a table in each dinning-room off by itself, at which the Pullman porters were fed. As eoon as we learned there was any objection we a once put a stop to the arrangement. "I tell you positively that Mr. Emerson no more wants negroes to mix with the white people than you or I do. And with these facts given i aon t thing he will be censored as he has been since tho occurrence.
