' By a vote of 18 to 7 the trustees (
of Trinity College, Durham, N. C., ,
a recent meeting of the board, (
? decided to retain Dr John S Bassett j
U .
| as professor of history in that insti- !
< tution. Bassett is the man who in a 1
mgazine article made the statement 1
'that Booker T Washington was the '
greatest man, save Lee, born in the (
' South in a hundred years. The {
t trustees defend their course on the j
^ ground of "academic liberty", yet ?
the press despatches state that the i
student body, heartily in sympathy s
with Bassett, in their celebration of *
his tictory burned in effigy the ^
editor of the Raleigh News and (
^^Obserrer, who had been particularly ,
severe in ins criticism 01 me uigger- ?
loving professor. How does this {
act tally with the trustees' idea of [
? liberty of thought and freedom of c
- epeech? Incidentally it may be re- c
marked that this action of Trinity *
i
^t/oilege is enough to cause all self- (
respecting parents in the South to (
withdraw their sons from a college j
so erratic iu its ideas of "academic t

SOME PERTINENT REFLECTIONS
ON A VERY LIVE SUBJECT.
)ur Correspondent Believes That a
Crisis is at Hand?The Evil and
the Remedy.
?ditor County U?co.d:?
Please allow ine space in your
japer lo say a word to rny brother
nerehanls, I shall be as brief as
possible.
Brother merchants, do vou ever
hiiik for 5i moment or realize the
:real injustice we are doing ourreives,
our loved ones, our credi
or?, and (greatest of all) the iniusiice
to our farming interest, by
mtr verv careless manner of doing
business, and advancing to
svery little one horse or ox fellow
who can rent a ten to twenty
acre patch? Slop lor a moment
and think how many our recklesmanner
of doing business have
almost driven from their house."
and homes, and how many would
be homeless were it not for the
zuardian protection of the law,
which allows the setting aside ol
a homestead. Think how we
lave allowed our evil to grow unit
today many of our best farm?rs
are almost forced to give up
heir farms, on which they have
worked almost day and night I'm
nany years, improving theii
places in the hope of reaping
ibnndant harvests, and vet are
ilmost compelled to give them up
>n account of conditions which
>ur reckless bunness methods have
)roughl about. * Think for a inouent
how many have been driven
o the wall just in this way. I
;ould name many.
Now, brothers, let us come together
and join hands and remedy
this great evil. Let us say
ind stand by it that we will nol
ake any more such chances. Let
is sav that we will not advance
o negroes on rent (L h nds utiles:
Ihey have proved theinselvet
worthy of credit, and stand by
>ur resolution regardless of consequences.
There are many ol
>ur best negroes who can farm
*nd are worthy of our aid and
should be helped, but then there
ire hundreds who are no more fit
o manage a farm than I am ic
Duild a warship to sal' on the
>cean. Now, brother merchants,
hese are facts and we as inietlijent
men know them to be true,
md if the poor farmers can not
see and will not come together and
ise up and condemn it, let us
ihow them that we have the farm
?rs' interest at heart.
The crisis has come and somehing
must be done or our grand
>id county i? gone. We have in
south Carolina as fine laud for
igricullural purposes as God ever
)lessed a people with, ami ii
)roperly m inaged by the best
ilassof citizens, the crops proluced
would be beautiful to the
?ye and a blessed reward to those
vho labor. Our poor farmers
lave suffered this year and manv
>f iis with them, arid it has been
mpres>ed upon them that it wattle
tobacco trust. Now, broi hers,
let us own the Yrotli and tell
hem that we merchanis are to
)lame to a great extent. I adnit
that the trust forced the
>rices of low grade tobacco down
rery low, much lower than it
hould have been; yet when the
ew good farmers were forced
vith the many sorry ones to gather
lothing but inferior tobacco, with
his overstocking tliemarket with
ow grade tobacco we could ex>ect
nothing but low prices.
Now, coining is the plain facts,
ve merchants ought to be blamed
lmost for the whole trouble,
'be farms can not be run successullv
without labor, and as maters
now stand the negro is our
olo dependence. We are allowng
them to come to us in the
pring, make nice promises and
;et our goods, and then come 11 j
n the fall and pay tn in excuses.
V
MAvAU^- " ' ~7" - -" *
I In this way we are reining labn.
and robbing ourselves* and tin*
farmers of thousand ol dollars
yearly. Now, as 1 have said, ie1
jus lake no more chances wilh
them, but let them go ?o the in
telligenf white and black farmers
and work under their instructions,
and in this wav make a living
iurl l?a luitU'fit trk niir I'ttnttl t'V
i instead of a curse, a- inn-y of
j them are today.
Now, some merchant may
i thiuk by adopting litis plan, business
will be decreased, bm
' brother, a thousand dollar business
dc.ic on a safe basis is worth
inorc to y ?u and vour creditor.
than a ten thousand dollar business
done on our pre.-ent plan.
Think of the past twenty years
1 and you will have proof of this.
Adopt the j.lan suggested and in
less than two years instead ol
seeing Irowns of depletions on
; sonte of our Merchants and all ot
' our farmers you will see smiles ol
; prosperity.
I would he glad to hear front
some other brother merchant, and
i you, Mr Editor, on this matter.

WEEPS
<
Consumption is a human
\rpprl flnnrishincr host in weak
, iungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes impossible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest
The time to treat consumption
is when you begin trying
to hide' it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
I Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consumption
you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treatment
you will win.
Scott's Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
I1- We will send you
a little of * the EmulBe
sure that this picture to
the form of a label n on tbe
wrapper of every bottle of
Emuision you buy.

effect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has produced. The Hay before
Easter I was so distressed with a
cold and cough that I did not think
to be able to take any duties the next

by the cough. The same day 1 received
an order from you for a bottl*
of your C'ough Remedy. i at onus
prosnrcd a sample lx>!tle. and took
about three doses of the medicine.
To my great -elief the cough and
cold had completely disappeared and
I was able to preach three times on
Easter Day. I know that this r.^pid
and effective cure was due to youi
Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial
without solicitation, being
thankful to have fount such a Codsent
remedy. Resj>eoifully yours,
