To the Editor of the Observer. 'ii 1 Davidson College made a happy bit in securing the Kev. vt. utts aa one of the commencement orators.

JiUitor, that the one great evil of the averaee Southern colleee and high school, when located in an ordinary vuiage ana town, is aencient notei a commodatlon. The idea of crowding strangers Indiscriminately together at either public or private houses is wholly against tne rennea sentiment oi modern culture; and in a few years no well en dowed scnooi or college can make headway that does not also provide, in some way, comfortable quarters for decent vis- iwi.

The easiest remedy is a rood hotel. usually started on the co-operative plan, and favored in some anecial nrivilere bv tne coiiege ana town autnorities. Tiua done, there comes a motive to unite in iu success the town grows, the school jf or college pros pert, and all are benefited. So soon as the average North Carolina town, wnn its bign school or college, begins to realize the "prime necessity to success," the cause of education and in dustrial progress will alike gain thereby.

Davidson ia well snnnlied with moid boarding houses. But the public calls for a regular first-class hotel, and when the "Otts Lecture Course" once opens, then there will be manv "eala davs" each equal to any "commencement" and the old town will fairly leap for Joy. A Wkm. Wisher. Charlotte, N.

There was no enthusiasm prevailing among them. Quite a crowd of Democrats were present through curiosity. The principal leaders in the movement were discontented Alliance Democrats and defeated Republican candidates.

Delegates were appointed to the congressional convention at Salisbury. The county executive committee was appointed, but no decision was reached as to whether a whole county Third fi arty ticket will be brought out or not. ut with tne aid anonencourairement of the old Republican party of the county it is thought they will have a full ticket in the field.

A general sadness and gloom pervaded the city yesterday. The many who had not neara tne distressing news irom Norfolk Monday night were shocked to read in the Observes yesterday morning what had befallen Harry Gallant in his one day's absence from home. All day long a griei-stricxen iatner ana anxious relations and friends were sending telegrams to Norfolk and Portsmouth to know if the body had been recovered, and to learn all the particulars Of the horrible affair. The Observer wired several times, but not until late yesterday evening was any news received. A message to Mr.

J. W. Cobb stated that the body had been found, and one again later stated it wonld be here this morning. Knowing that that was impossible. the Observer sent messages to Mr.

Cra mer and Mr. J. V. Hmlth, requesting full and definite news. In response to this came the above messages.

A DOUBLE PURER AL. The remains will be met here by the members of the Naval Battalion, who did not go to Norfolk, by the Knights of An1 tha AAnrt linnu nH a 1 a They will be carried to the residence of ex-Sheriff Cooper and placed by those of Mr. Robert Cooper, Mr. Gallant's cousin, whose body was embalmed yesterday to preserve It until Mr. Gallant's body should reach here.
