Toon, Super intendent of Public Instruction, ha- been examiutuginty ihe matter of the length of tbe scbool termsof the different countios ef the Stare. ibe cons'itution provides that. the school term shall be at least fcur months each year. It is commonly supposed that very few counties ip the State come up +o this constitu tional requiremeut. but investiga tion shows that there are twenty eight whese schocl terms equal or exceed four monins. This is very yratifyisg to those interested iz the subject, the uam- ber far exceeding the estimates of those weil posied in regard 19 edov- cational affairs un ibe subject.

These decisions are defended, and the answer sets forth at some ‘ength the jearaing from Hoke vs i¢nderscn dowu to White vs. Audi- tor, on which it is claimed they were decided: * Ft will be argued that un» der former decisions of the court these cases cou!d net have been de- cided otherwise without overruniny all precedents : There is a possibility thatthe de fence may not put on any testimony, as the materia! facts thus for are indisputed though the interferences drawn from some of them of course are.

The most important bill introduc ed in the Senate vesterday, and ose of the most important Gf the session, was that by Senator London to a mend the Constitutiou. The object of the bill is to make ii legal for the white property owners to tax themselves (by a supplemoe: t- ary) for the education of white chi! drenalone, and thereby lengthen the present school terms of any town, township or county, withou: deing compelled todevote a propor- tion of -he extra tax towards the mainterance of longer terms for ve- gro schools. - The text cf the bill is as follows: “An Act to Amend Article IX, Section 2. of the Constitution of North Carolina; 5 " “The General Assembly of Nor‘h Carolina do enact: “Sec. 1. That section 2, act 9, of the Constitution of North «arolina, be amended by adding thereto the following: ‘“**But nothing contained herein shall prohibit the peopie of any vace, living in any county, city. town, township, or territory, from levying a spacial tax for education al purposes of thar race, 1f a majari- ty of the qualified voters of tha? race shall, at any election duly he'd for that purpose, decide to levi Saia tax, which tax shall be levicd upon the property and polls of that race alone,” “See. 2.

The sub committee thathas beep oreparing the new Election Law has now compieted its workand the bill will this week be introduced in the House. Tn view of the fact that the amend- ment, eliminating the ignorant ne gro vote, goes isto effec: before the next election, the committce has endeavored to frame sucha law as wiil not only be absolutely fair, but such a law that it cannot even be charged that it is otherwise. The bill, as now drawn, provide- for a State of Elections composed ofthree men, of whom rot moe than two shall be of the same politi cal party. The county boards, likewise. shall be composed of three persons, only twoof whom can + of the same party. The registrars must be men ~- o good repute and standing in the community in which they live. Of the four judges of electicn, nor more than two can be of the same political party and these two must be selected fram iists of five furc- ished by the county chairmen o! their party.

The bill dividing the State into ten Congressional districts has pass ed koth houses of the Legislature andis now the law. The: bill as passed bas been printed in full ip this paper. It is practically the bill intreduced some .time ago by Representative Watts, of this coun ty, with afew changes. Iredell is now apart of the eighth Congres- sional district There are eleven counties in this district, namely: ashe, Alleghany, Alexander, Cald- well. Cabarrus, «Iredell, Rowan, Stanly, Surry, Watauga and Wilkes. The district is a fairly compact one, and seems to us to be very well ar- ranged. There has been considera- ble objection tothe district by our Rowan neighbors, who fear that it will be Republican, alleging that it gave sficKinley 731 majovity in 1900 These figures are correct but McKin- ley’s majority was the result not only of an increased Republicas vote over the vote for candidates for Con- gress but also from the fact that 923 Democrats who voted for Kluttz and Buxton in these counties did not vote for Bryan. The Democratic vote for Bryan in the eleven coun- ties was 16,356, the Republican vote for McKinley 17,087. The vote for the Demceratic candidates for Con- gress was 17,279; for Republican cardidates, (including Shuford’s v ote), 16,479, Democratic majority 800. Again Aycock’s majority over A cams was 1,159. We take it that the 800 majority for the Democratic can Gidates for Congress is the best e vidence cf the character of the dis- trict, and this shows it to be nomi naliy Democratic, though by a small majority. It is certainly not fair te oase the calculation on the Bryan McKinley vote. ;When the ignoraot nero vote is eliminated, as it wil! be in 1902, this district should be Demceratic by a safe and comforta ble majority. oo Tredell Demccrats will rejoice + see that under the new avrangemen’ of State Senatoriai districts Irede! constitutes the thirtieth district. Ih 1891 this county was placed wit Yadkin aud Davie and since ther. except at two elections, the Dem« crats have been engaged in a frui: less effort to overcome the Republi can majoritiesof Yadkin and Davie. Bereafter we elect our own senator. Yadkin and Wilkesare put together aud Davie is ina district with Ro- wan and Cabarrus. I en - the bill creating the sixteen ner judicial districts is meeting with Visorous opposition. Itsopponenots allege that the districts have beer created for the benefit of members of ‘be legislature who wish to be ap- pe.nted solicitors or judges. So bitter is the opposition that many changes will have to be made before it will go through and it is aot pos- sible now to tell what the outcome willbe. It begins-‘to look as if there were no real necessity for the four additional judges. Beuator Fields onthe New Cengres- sional Districts. News and Observer. Ex-Senator Fields, of Alleghany, whois one of the wisest men in Wes- tern North Carolina,:says the people of his section are greatly pleased with the spirit manifested in ar- ranging the Congressional districts. The suggestion of a rock-ribbed Re- poolican district, he says, would, if carried out, have, resulted in great loss to the Democratic party in kis section of the State. He there fore thinks it was wise to make every di-trict Democratic, even if two or three are debatable. He says the Republican vote in 1900 was high water mark for that party and that when the white men, who were de- ceived by Republican lies about the amenGment, see that they can vote, the Democrats will make gains.

William McKinley, a second time, is President of the United States. He was ushered into that office to- dav, ina city ablaze with more and finer decorations than ever have graced the holiday-loving national capital, whose streets to-day re- sounded to the tread of more march- ing soldiers and sailors than ever have participa:ed in alike function. and had as witnesses to the cere- monies a vast multitude, who cheer- ed frequentiy whenever be or his vice ptesidential colleague was Visl- bie. Znere bas been better weuther on inauguration day, and there has been much worse than that which attended to-day’s ceremonies. Tbe worst of che wet weather un- fortunately came just as the Presi- dent was being inducted into office on the east front of the capitol, be- fore 40,000 people. Butthe air was miid and pleasant and the day ended with dry weather. Garfield was in- augurated in a storm; Harrison ina cold rain which deluged the city from dawn .till dark, and Cleveland took the oath at his second inaugural be- tore 10,000 cheering-p2ople ia a fierce gale with the suow beating down up- on his bare head. Zo day’s down- pour again brougat forward the agi- tation of April ZVas the time for future inaugurations. On Pennsylvania avenue the crowd surged up and down both sides, over- flowed the terraced stands and bal- conies, walled in the windows and fringed the roofs. Washington had decked herself out as never before. Only acomparatively insignificant portion of the vast multitude saw anything of the actual inauguration ceremonies at the capitol. The brilliant and impressive scene in the Senate when the Vice Presi- dent-elect was inducted into office was reserved for a few hundreds. The assemolage in the Senate felt an electric thrill as the Vice President- elect was announced. The greatest curiosity existed to see this man who nas been so much in the public eye during recent years, and instantly alleyes were turned toward him. He halted 1 moment, drew himself up until he seemed a foot taller and marched down the aisle erect and with the pearing of a soldier. The President, the last to enter. got an even more enthusiastic reception. He never looked better and never seemed mor graceful and at ease. It was just after 1 o'clock when President McKinley stepped out up- on theeast portico. A great cheer went up that re-echoed until the huge stand fairly trembled. The President bowed in acknowledg- ment. With him was Chief Justice fuller. Through the lines of Senators and officials, all standiag todo kim kon or, the President proceeded to the ventral pavilion and at the railing faved the vest assemblage, again and tyain bowing oefore the tramendous cborus from the 40,000 throats. A bush fell ugon the assemblage as che President and the Cniet Justice sdvanced to the center of the pavii evn. The President removed bis hat and raised bis right hand. Faintiy ‘ould be heard the solemn words of tne Chief Justies, and the measured sespense of the President, taking he cath to maintain inviolate the constitution and laws of the United States. —_——__——— + oe ae -——t—te i}, to Secure Four Months’ Schools.

We- | Tobacco— ite Growth and Use. Atlanta Journal. ' Although the United States pro- duce more tobacco, than any other country, its consumption of tobacco is smaller here than anywhere else in the world exceptin France. This statement will suprise most of our readers, the general opinion being that the American is t»emest inveterate and the mostextravagant consumer of tobacco Tbe normal annual production of tobacco in the United states is 928,- 000,000 pounds. Only 285,000,000 pounds are produced annually in the Indies; 308,000,000 pounds in Russia and Austria Hungary” combined. China comes next with 110,000,000 pounds. The United States produce almost as much tobacco as all the rest of the world, Itis estimated that 451,000,000 persons or cousiderable more than one third of the human race, are hab- itual users of tobacco and the average yearly consumption is four and a balf pounds for each person. The Dutch are the greatest tobac- co users, the average for Holland be- ing more than six and a half pounds. Belgium four and a half pounds; Ar- gentina four and a third pounds; Turkey two and a half pounds: The United States two and two-third pounds, and in France two pounds. Though the average per capita consumption of tobacco is lower amoog our people than any other, taking the entire population, we still use more tobacco in its various forms than any other because there are sO many more tobacco users here. The demand for tobaccois increas- ing in every country whereit is used at all and itis becomiag a more im- portaat crop in this country every year. The Vice Presidency. Some Lossons from the Past. Constitution. Once more we have a vice presi- dent whose privilege 1t will be to keep a silent, if nota wise, tongue in his head, and who serves himself and his country best by being heard from as little as possible. Only once has the vice president an opportunity for a hearing, and it is well, even then, to be a trifle so- *“somoric, and not to puton an ap- pearance of too much earnestness. From being a very popular con- gressman, Schuyl2r Colfax passed into the shade as the addendum to the first administration of Grant, and massachusetts lost a fine senator through the eclipse of Henry Wilson by Grantin his secoed administra- tion. Mr. Hayes hadavice president whom the world has forgotten, while an assassin gave Chester A. Arthur a chance by the remoyal of Gartield. The greatest of modern holders of vice president office, Thomas A. Hnedricks, went downto his grave woundud by the slights placed upon him, while President Harrison’s running mate did not permit the office to interfere with his ordinary avocation. Then Ucame Vice Pres: dent Stevenson, why warned vy the experiesce of Mr. Hesdricks coatia ed himself to the socia! vieasures of Gis Stale und is stillin good condi tiva. Mr. MecKivley brought with himto Washizston a man unknown in puotie life, who veatured in his inauvural of four years ago to toreaien the courtesy of the senate. {t did not take the senate long ty couvince Mr. Hopart that the best thing be could du would Seto retire to the tea party fusction, while a friendly Pro Temocre would keep the chamber in order. Mr. Roosevelt, an earnest man, with a lecture bureau tura of mind, has much to say about “world pow- ers’ and “life work’’ and other ex pressions familiar to the stage Mir. Roosevelt should now com- pose himself fora good:imeand trust to the senate for tae safe ruaning of that body. ee The Old Confederates The Pension Law of Laterest to Them.

Individuals and goveraments hotb inake very foolish trades sometimes; butofalithe foo! hardy trades of modern times, the purchase of the Philippines seems to beat all. In whe firs’ place, what right had Spain to those islands? None whatever, at least, no moral right. France assisted our forefathers in gaining indopendeace of Great Brit ain, and had as much rizht to bay thecolonies as the United States pad to buy the Philippives, and Great Britain had as good right to Philippine Islands. if not better, Soain had no better right to those Isiands than the D-vil had to the en- tire world and the kingdoms and glory thereof when he tried to make 2 bargain with our Savior. Well, Spaia got $26,000,000 from our gov- ernment and the Devil oothing for his flattering offer. Quite a ditler- ence. If the $20.000,000 was all that‘it cost the government, that would be a mere trifle in comparison to what it bas elready cost in mon- ing, the many valuable lives,» and surrow to the surviving friends of the thousands who have died. Ail for what? Thar the United States may prate of our “foreign posses: sivas.”’ : Yes, they are ‘foreiga,’’ so for- eigo, that it takes a good while to gat to then by the most improved means Of transportation. And so far alf that sve occupy is so much as tne soldiery can command in the immediate viciaity of the army. It is very easy to call the Filipinos revels. Reodels to what? To our government, when we never have had controi of them?

Yesterday, as a member of the committee, I had two oills which had passed the House in my keeping. Tkey were both in reference to the city of Charlotte, ove of them being to provide a ie- galized primary. These bills were in my overcoat and a man named Hudson, who lives 15 miles from Smitbfield, madea mistake and car- cied my overcoat off, leaving his. Chose bills were not engrossed and there is no copy of them, so | ask that the Senate appoint a special messenger with proper process to pe dispatched on the train that teaves in 20 minutes now, to bripg back my overcoat and those bills.”’ On motion of Senator Henderson this was ordered and Sergeant-at- Arms Smith sent a special messen- ver to Smithfield.

The Speaker rul-d that the motion had been made and that Graham's motion to table was inorder. The roli-call on Graham’s “clincher’’ showed ayes 26, noes 42. Some absent members raa in shout- in as they entered ‘‘No.’’ Win- ston then moved to recozsider the vote by which the bil! passed third reading. The speaker announced that theayes had it. Grabam called for adivision. Allen and Wisston claimed that this was out of order. The Speaker ruled it out of order and that division could not be had or the roll called. Graham protest- ed against the rulinz. TheSpeaker said Graham could not appeal from the ruling. Allen went over to see Graham and tried to settle the mat- ter, but came back and announced that he and Graham were rather too warm, 2s indeed all were, and that it was best to adjourn till tomorrow. Grabkam said he moved to adjourn; that he had not been treated right and he should let the matter rest where it was until morning. Atthe night session the Senato rial apportionment bill was amend- ed by putting Cabarrus and Meck- lenburg in one district with two senators. Bill was then re-referred to committee.

There was a pleasant incident in the House yesterday that will long be remembered. Hon. William F. Stevenson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of South Caroli- na, was introduced to the body and Representative Stevenson,of Iredell, speak, not being informed in regard thereto. Butl am informed that during his residence in Mississippi he lead an active Christian life,serv- ing his chureh both as steward and Sunday school superintendent. Since coming to Statesville, he has not deen so active in church work, nor so constant in his attendance upoa the services of his church. Haviog receiyed at some time a se- ricus hurt, which left him with per- maneat injuries, and being diligent in business duriny the week days, when the Sabbath came he. usually felt that he had not sufficient strength to enable him to attend Divine worship at bis own church, but when attending church at all, went to the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church which was near Those who knew Brother White best and loved tim most, testify that he was an earnest and devout Chris- tian, and this knowledze will in this hour of bereavement and sorrow, ve a source of great comfort and satis faction to the loved ones left behind. He was an affectionate brother, hus- band and father, and an honorable, upright aad useful citizen. He will ba missed by his neighbors and friends, but most of all in the home where he was so dear, and where he was sotenderly lovel by wife and children. With them hisevery word and act of devotion, as well as every evidence and token of his hope and trust in God, will be treasured up asa precious memory to comfort and hallow the years tocome. May God's rich grace and merey abound unto them in fulness in this hour of deepest sorrow. He who pitieth them that fear him, even as a father pitieth bis children; and who is a to the fatberless, understands fully sively that there was no concerted action ta list property for less than its true cash value except by the big corporations; but the evidence showed that there are many cases, ali over the State, where other pro- perty is not listed at a fair valua- The Irish members of the House of Commons were suspended last week for refusing to obey orders of the Speaker. The Delaware legislature adjourn- ed last week without electing a U- isa brother of the distinguished t he loss they sustain in the departed i tion, as the law says it shail be. And much property escapes taxa- tion entirely. Asarulethe property of small farmer‘ andothers who own but livti+ property, is listed for tax- ation for all itis worth. It is the large farms and the town property that are valued toolow. The testi- mony of Mr. Georze P. Burgwyn, of our county, and others befure Judge Shepherd proves this state- ment. The cash sales of land and other property in Northampton during the past two years, inmany instances, have heer much above the tax valu- ation, in some instances it was valu- ed for taxation at about one third of the amount it sold for at cash sales. in some other cases land has sold for less thanit was listed for taxation, The fsuit has not been on the par oi ihe property owners. There ave beén but very few instances where our property owners have complained of over valuation. We take it that every man is willing for his propcr:yto be listed at a fair valuati »—in other words to bear his just ~hare of the burdens of tax- atien. tis not right, though, for part of our peopleto pay taxes on property atits true cash value while those more able, and perhaps wiil- ing, pay only on a part.

Senator Henderson said that a bili from the House had passed the Sen- ate yesterday to prevent shipping liquor into Buncombe and Madison counties except to druggists and liquor dealers. He hoped the bili would be recalled and considered on its merits. Gudger explained that Haywood, Buneombe and Madison counties, are prohibition counties except in the towns of Waynesville, Asheville and Marshall. However, these counties are flooded witb vlockade liquor from other couaties and every train carries the stuffinto this prubibition territory. The bill simply prevents the importation of liquor into any of those counties ex- cept to dealers and druggists. lu discussing the recall of the bill a lively ‘‘spat’’ took place between Senators Gudger andGleon. The vill was finally recalled by a vote of 21 to 10. At noon the court of im- peachment wascalled to order and the proceediags as recorded in an- other column took place. After this the following bills were introduced: Toallow Satisbury to havea new registration; to protect cattle raised in Surry and Stokes; for government of life insurance companies and to protect policy holders. House: The school bill passed by a vote of 77 to3. The House then acted on several sections of the rev- enueact. Bill to incorporate the State’s prison and proyide for its government passed.

Afternoon session: Bills passed: To provide for Soldiers’ Home $5,000 this year for buildings, $13,000 an- nually for supports; for prohibition in Cumberland county. At the night session bill was taken up to provide for 16 judicial districts and for holding courts therein. The on ly change made from the districts as published are that Edgecombe is placed ia the fourth district and Pitt transferred to the third. Craig’s amendment to have the judge of the sixteenth district ap- poioted in Marchand hold the spring terms of court ic fifteenth district was adopted. The bill passed final reading and was ordered sent to the Senate without engrossment.

Wil- liam F, Stevenson, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina. i move two be appointed to escort him into the hall.”’ Mr. Watts and Mr. Robinson were named as the special committee to ore the South Carolinian into the all. Speaker Stevenson was greeted by the members standing, who applaud ed as he entered the hall. In intro ducing him Mr. Watts said: “It is my pleasure to introduce the House of Representatives of North Carolina Hon. William F. Stevenson, the distinguished Speak- er of the House of Representatives of our sister State of South Caroli na.”’ Mr. Stevenson was escorted to the Speaker’s chair and took a seat by Speaker Moore’s side. Speaker Moore made fitting acknowledgmen.s of the incident. Representative Carraway, of Le noir, created much merriment by moving that the Speaker from South Carolina proceed to do to the Speak- er of North Carolina what was well known in history. Great applause greeted this remark. Speaker Stevenson of South Caro- lina is prominent in the affairs of South Carolina. He is spo’ten pf as a candidate for Senator and Gover- nor. In 1887 he went from this State to South Carolinaand located in Cheraw, where he is engaged iu the practice of law. Mr. Stevenson is a graduate of Davidson College. He is not yet forty years of age, ard has a brilliant future ahead of him. Violet Plants for Sale, The Daughters of the Confederacy at Kittrell, N.

A bill has passed the Legislature providing that whenever in a school district private individuals contrib ute ten dollars to start a library, the school trustees are authorized to add ten dollars of school funds and the State will add ten more, making a total of thirty dollars for a public schoollibrary. This isanimportant bill and a step ferward. While the books that can be secured for thirty dollars will be few in number, still if wisely selected they can be made of great value.

At Clemson colleye today Senate Tillman made the following state- ment regarding “Cuban, Philippine and Charleston exposition matters: “The question of why the the demo- cratic minority did not resist the Uuban and Philippine amendments yas been set forth very clearly in fhe Cougcessional Record. It is aot tobe wondered at that these aewspaper editors have taken the wrong view, as they depend on the Associated Press synopsis, which is very meager acd often colored by he republicans. “In a consultation among the democratic senators there was a dif- ‘erence of opinion as to the ayisabil- ity of filibustering. The Philippine amendment was altered to our satis- faction asfar as aay such scheme could be made satisfactory prohibit- ing the sale of land, lumber, mines, ete., and forbidding any permanent franchises, so that carpet baggers who may be sent there to administer a so-called civil government will be very much hamperedin their pur- peses to loot the islands. “So far as the Cuban amendment was concerned, the minority was hampered by the fact that our mem cers of that committee—Money and Teller—the latter being the author of our Cuban war pledge had acqui- esed ina large measure with the proposed legation. They had se- cured a much more moderate and satisfactory programme than had riginally been proposed by the re- publicans and while not entirely satisfactory, they assurred us that the republicans in an extra session, where they would have a free hand, would be still more exacting in their demands. “The democrats and their allies among the populists and silver re- publicans were, therefore, confront- ed with this situation. Th2 next congress being overwhelmingly ce- publican, with larger majorities in voth houses. could be relied on to do Mr. McKinley’s bidding, and in ad- dition to carryirg out the orizinal programme in regard to the Philip- pines and Cuba, there was almost a certainty that it would have passed the ship subsidy bill. In addition to this, a protracted filbuster, causing the extra session, would have given them an excuse to change the rules and provide for cloture. As it is, Senator Platt has introduced a resol ution looking to such a change. I think it won't be carried now, butit would have succeeded if we had act- ed as my critics desired. “So we, as the minority, had to consider whether we would resist the proposed betrayal of Cuba and exploitation in the extra session, ind it appeared wiser to freely ex- yose the infamies of the two amend- ments and then allow a vote. “I did what I could in alegitimate way to get the appropriation for Charlestcn, and there was practical ly no opposition in thesenate. The ypposition was in the way in the house. I gave no pledges and re ‘eived none. All correspondents vbo have been quoted to prove the ‘ontrary are republicans who are quick to fly blow democratic sena- tors. rn A White Man Lynched. Carthage, Dispatch, ro, L. J. Jones, Dr. M. E. Street, David Andrews and William Hard- ing, amo.ag the most prominent cit- izens of eastern North Carolina, were arrested last night and lodged in jail charged with being responsi- ble for the death of Silas Martindale. The jail of Moore county at Car- thaye was broken into bya mob of fifty men who secured Martindale— confined on a charge of assault—and hanged him to a tree. Martindale was hanged just outside the corpor- ate limits. He was choked to death, and from indicatians about the scene, it is supposed the lynchers raised and lowered him many times in order to extort a confession from him. This was the first time in fifty years thata white man has met death at the hands of amobin North Carolina. Seme three months ago he com- mitted rape on Mrs. Brewer, a young married lady who was teaching school in Moore county, about ten miles north of Carthage. Thecrime was au atrocious one, aad his guilt was clearly proven at the prelimin- ary hearing. A lynching was fear- ed at the time, and he was brought to Raleigh for safe-keeping. Some three weeks ago he was carried back News and Observer, roth. When the constitutional amend- ment was first submitted. it will be remembered that Hon. Thomas Set- tle pointed out that it fully protect- ed the unlettered white voter, and told his Republican friends that if they succeeded in having the grand- father clause annulled they, and not the Democrats, would be responsible for disfranchising the illiterate white voters. This was before the June session amended the (suffrage clause and madeit ‘‘one invisible scheme of suffrage.”’ _ Yesterday, when the bill to pro- vide for guaranteeing the right to every white man to vote was under consideration, all the Republicans and Populists in the House voted a- gainst it. The bill was an act to carry the sufferage ameadment into effect, and was drawn to emable every white voter to register on the permanent roll. The Constitution provides that unless the voter is reg- istered on this permanent roll he will lose his vote. And yet the Re- publican and Populist member— every mother’s son of them—voted against the measure and therefore voted to disfranchise every unedu- cated white man in the State. Mr. Butler Catches On. Washington Dispatch, The difference between a Senator and an ex-Senator was forcibly illus- trated yesterday when Mr. Marion Butler of Honeycutts, N.C., stepped into the Senateelevator. Thereis a rigid rule requiring the elevator to go up or down as a Senator wishes, without any regard to what its in- tention had previously been. Thus, if an elevator was going down, it would change its mind and go up if a Senator happened to be going that way. There were several passengers when the elevator stopped on the Senate floor on its way from the basement to the gallery. Mr. But- ler stepped in and said, in the usual d senatorial tone: ‘“‘Down.’’ But the elevator went up without a word of explanation from the conductor. Mr. Butler looked surprised for a moment, and then “‘tumbled.”’ - + putinon fo v7 Ost) q ’ . ae c to Carthage, as it was supposed that all danger of violence was past.

That was the pledge made by the Democratic party and now that the pledge is about to be fulfilled, the Republicans are protesting against it. ‘I want them puton record as refusing to give the illiterate white man of North Carolina an opportunity to vote.”’ ; Wright forthe committee on ju- diciary reported unfavorably on bills to regulate government of labor in textile factories. He submitted an agreement entered into by millown ers to carry out the spirit of the bills proposed to be enacted into law, and recommended that this agreement be spread upon the journal of the House with the names of the sigraers to thesame attached. The repori was adopted without dissent. Bill passed to pay all necessary expenses including lawyers, of the impeachment case. The omnibus justice of the peace bill was passed. A great mass of business was put through voth houses, much of it be- ing of a private nature. —- all> 6 a -- The Late Mrs. Jennie Conger For Ture MAscor. oyiment of bridges, cu law adout Mrs. Jennie E.

Columbia, $..C., Dispatch, 7. The grand jury of Anderson cous ty to day made its report to Judy: W. C. Benet and declared that & prectical enslavement of nevroes has bee.. conducted in thatcounty. The presentment was prepared | by a special committee, which visited the convict stockade camps 10 Ander- son county and found confined there in negroes guiltless of any felony, but undergoing a term of servitude under voluntary contracts which they hadsigned ‘in partial ignorance The charge of false imprisoninen' was made against J. S. Fowler, P. B. Allen ard W.Q. Hammord, three of the largest planters and most in fiuential men in Anderson county. The grand jury declared that these men, who employ convicts from tbe State, where also keeping confined in their stockades negroes who for some petty cause had been sent there for breach of contract, al- though convicted before no officer of the law. The presentment of the grand jury will put an end to this practice and it is conduced in no other county in the State. It has been know in Anderson county for a long time that such asystem was being carried on, and the people of that county are glad that it has been done away with. No prosecutions have yet been made, but the solici- tor will hand out -indictments for the June term of court. Judge Benet’s charge to the grand jury after it had rendered its find. ing contained a severe denunciation of certain newspapers which had sent special correspondents to South Carolina and claimed to have made an exposure. He stated that the people of Anderson county are re- sponsible for uprooting this prac tice. He complimented the grand jury for not having read the news- papers while making its investiga- tien. He stated that there is no need of interference by Federa! Courts. We are able to deal with this mattcr without outside help, he said. The testimony of negroes is valid evi- dence in the State courts. There is no politics, no party or race issue at stake. It is the righting of a grievous wrong, and the court pro- tests against the idea of cutside in- terference. The evil will bestamp- ed out, for public sentiment at home is against it. Hedeclared that the Legislature has already taken steps to do so and will abolish the system of biring convicts to parties, so there can be no opportunity to con- fine freemen. Judge Benet declared that the pre sentment brought pitiful details to light. It toldof illegal arrests and imprisonment: of cruel whipplogs; of prolonged imprisonmert without even the farce ofa trial; of kidnap- ping negrees from other counties, aud even from Georgia; of fear to give testimony, refusal to testify, and, most pitiful of all, of poor ne- zroes professing to being satisfied and contented. Corcluding, he said that Anderson county would thank the grand jury for having retieved her of this shameful burden and freed her good name from th2 stigma that afew of her misguided citizens bad placed upon it. There are but 20 persons in ali who are guilty of this practice, aud the grand jury recommends that they be indicted. The report cails attention to the class of men incar- cerated. They are worthless ne- groes, asarule, who will not pay their honest dedts,and the laws of the State should be made more eifec- tive and should be not prostituted in the enforcement as in this instance. Most of the labor contracts in the county are declared legal and just. ee Mnormous Appropriations made by the Last Congress, Washingion Dispatch, 6. Representative Cannon, chairman of the House committee on appro- priations, and Representative Liv- ingston, the senior Democratic member of the committee, have pre- pared statements of the appropria- tions of the Fifty-sixth Congress, which will be printed in The Con- yressional Record to-morrow. Both place the total appropriations for the Coagress at $1,440,062,545, placing those for the first session at $710,- 150,862 and for the second at $729,- ‘11,683. Mr. Cannon publishes a table showing the expenditures of the previous Congress at $1,568,- 212, 537 and Mr. Livingston makes 3 comparison with the Fifty-fourth Congress, which appropriated $1,- 044,580,273. Mr. Livingston says: “The Fifty- fourth Congress was the lest one that made appropriations for the support of the government prior to the bevinning of the Spanish-Ameri- can war. The Fifty-sixth Congress is the first Congress appropriating forthe support of the government since the close ef the so-called Span- ish-American war. The difference between the appropriations made by the Fifty-sixth Congress and those made by the Fifty-fourth Congress amounts to $395,482, 272. “During the session just closed the demands of the people, through their representatives, for the con- struction of the Nicaragua Canal have gone unheeded and those for new public buildings have been per- sistently denied. The riverand har- bor bill has been permitted to fail. The payment of just claims of bon- est people against the goverrment has not been provided fer. “The most casual examination of this table makes comment practi- cally unnecessary. It shows that the army for each of the two years prior to the Spanish-American war cost a little over $23,000,000 and bu: little more than $46,000,000 for the twovears covered by the Forty fourth Congress, while for each of the two years since that war, 1901 and 1902, it costs $115,000,000 or $250,000,000 for the two years, exclusive of deticiencies tkat have een provided for in large sums out of appropriations made for expenses of the Spanish war during the Fiity- fifth Congress. The navy cost for the two years, 1897-98, is$63,362,000 while the year 1901 and 1902 these appropriations amount to nearly $144,000,000.. For the payment of pensions the appropriations show an increase of nearly $8,000.000 for the two years. ‘Ia a word, this table shows that the price to the people of the policy of this administration that has been thrust upon them by the Republican party isin round numbers $400,000, 000 within a period of two years, andthe half that has not yet been put in operation,’ Wnen you are bilious, use those famous little pills known as De- Wirt’s Little Early Risers to cleanse Annie E.

The Fifty-sixth Congress wil clos its record at noon today. And what a record it 1s! x it has appropriated nearly $1, 500,000,000, or within $110,600,000 cf the total appropriatious ef the Fitty. tifth Coneress, which covered the period of the Spanish war. : It bas increased and reorgan‘zed our standing army, fixipg its strength at 100,000 men. It bas given Mr. LcKiniey powers over the Philippine Islands and their 10,000,000 people titly described by Senator Hoar as amounting to ‘pure, simple, undiluted, uschecked aespotism.,— It bas served notice on Cuba that she must accept vassalaye instead of the independence which was pledged to her in our declaration of war. It has madea small reduction of the war taxes, amouating to about $40,000,000. a year. It has not passed an isthmiao ca nal bill, and the action of the Senate in defeating the Hay Pauncefote treaty has put a new obstruction In the way of that most important of national enterprise. Thus, while it bas voted over $400,000,000 a year to military and naval purposes, inciud- ing war pensions, it has postponed the construction of the great inter- national waterway for peaceful com- merce, which could be built for far less than one-half ofthat sum. It has not ratified the reciprocity treaties negotiated with France, Germany, Great Britain and otber countries under the reciprocity sec tion of the Dingley tariff, and which would have secured yaluable advan ages to our export trade. : It has not passed the Ship Subsi- dy biil, framed todivert $270,000. 000 more of the public money to the private pockets of a little knot of millionaire ship owners and ship builders. But this is not its fault. It simply bad to let yo this bill in order to put through the bigger and more urgent raids on the treasury. And the ship subsidy grab is only deferred not abandoued. Such is the record in barest out- line of the Fifty-sixth Congress. What wiil the Fifty-seventh, with a still larger Republican majority, do? Outrages by Allkes in Chin aCause Christendom to Blush. New Yerk Herald. If only one-tenth of the charges of murder, rape and robbery made agaiust foreigners in China is sub- stantiated Christendom will have cause to biush for shame. Whiled volumns have been written and published about the deliquencies of the Chinese; the European press in gereral is discreetly reticent about the crimes against civilization and humanity committed by the al- Ned forces in the far East. This seli damnatory silence can- not arise from ignorance, unless the correspondents of German, French and English newspapers have com pletely failed to accomplish their mission, which presumably was to report the truth without fear or fav- or. We say ‘‘presumably”’ advisedly. With the exception of sundry maga- zine articles. notably those oy Dr Dillon and Sir Robert Hart, and of the special dispatches sent to the Herald by its Pekin eorrespordent, whose manhood revolted before the enormities he had witnessed, very scant attention has been paid to in- iquities that would have raised a howlof irdignant protest had their perpetrators been, let us say, Turks —in short, had they been of any na- tion save a European one. The Herald's correspondent, in fact, has been almost alone in demanding jus- tice for the Chinese. The latest example of the recsless- ness with which foreigners have rob- bed the Chinese is found in our cor- respondent's dispatch published on Wednesday. It appears that the French and Russian consuls have coolly raised their respective flags over salt heaps at Tien-Tsin belong- ing to private merchants. After this high handed act of confiscation, they magnanimously offered to sell the property to its rightful owners at three quarters of its market val- ue! This is brigandage pure and simple, the only difference being that merchandise is held for ransom instead of prisoners. > Status of the Saloon in Kansas. Haper’s Weekly. The legai status of the Kansas sa- loons that Mrs. Nation has been bat- tering is cucious. A prohibition amendment tothe State’s constitu- tion was passed, but efter the Unit- ed States Supreme Court decided that no State could prohibit the ad- mission of original packages of ia toxicants into its borders it was not difficult for-Kausans who wanted |i- quor toyer it. Presently so many saloons sprung up and flourished 1p the cities that the Legislature, re. pining at the loss of revenue frum unlawfulsaloons which paid no }i cense fees. provided, in 1893, that the illegalsaloons which complied with certaim prescribed regulativus should be free from interfecence, ex- cept that twice a year their owners should be arrested and fined. That gave Kansas practically, a license system. The constitution contairs @ prohibition amendment, which the Legislature has bound itse!f not to enforce against s2loons that com ply with prescribed-ree ulations. Mrs. Na- tion supports the constitution,denics the Legislature, terrorizes the bar- keepers, and twits the governor on not living upto his oathof office. She is doing a good work in making a disreputale condition as agonizing as possible. If anything can make an opportunity for the resubmision- ists it will be her efforts. The cure for Kansas in her present straits seems to be te yet prohibition out of ber constitution and get high license tuto ber statute-book.

ENSLAVEMENT OF NEGROES The A encione Their Odd Na:znes. Able Document Post, 7th. The Senate chamber was yester- day again the scere of a brief ses- sion of the High Court of Impeach- ; ment. For ibe first time since the orgaa- ization of the court the accused jus tices appeared, in propria persona, and were accompanied by their counse!. The manavers (Messrs. Allen, Craig, Rountree, Graham, Nicholson and Spuiil) were accompanied by their counsei, who, as Mr. Allen an nounc:d, willassist them in the prosecution of this case, viz— C. B Watsoa, James H. Pou, W. A. Guthrie, Theo. EF. Davidsoa, Uharices 4. Busbee. When these were seated Senator London moved that the accused be notified, and at esce Chief Justice Furches with ex Governor Jarvis (leaaing counsel) by his side, and Justice Douglas and the remainder of the couasel for the defense euter- ed, including Hon. Charles M. Cooke Hon. Fabius H. Busbee, Hon. F. I. Osborne, B. F. Long, W. P. Bynumand Lindsay Patterson. This session of the court being set for the purpose of receivipg and bearing the answer of the respond ents to the charves of impeachment filed against them, Governor Jarvis arose and announced: “Mr. President: The respondents, David M. Furchesand Robert M Douglas, and their attorneys are here present with theirzuswer to the charges filed against them, and stand ready to tile the same, if it is the pleasure of this court.” Sevator Arrington: Mr. Presi dent, l move that the Answer be now received The President: be received.

Constitution. The republican organs of the east have grown quite pathetic in their references to ‘‘the last negro incon gress,’ referring to a North Caro iisa member who has been retired to private life. The Boston Trans- cript describes the speech of this meinber as “the swansony of his race,’ aud we may well imagine the briny tears thus drawn forth. The Omata World-Herald declares that “‘it is interesting to recall that the only negroes elected to either house or seaate have come from southern states. It isof further in terest to note that tke republican party, which loves the negro so dearly about election time, never eiected a neyro senator from a north ern state.”’ We would respectfuily suggest this idea to Tbe Transcript, which is nothing if not earnest. If Con- vressman Whiteis of such trans- cendant and representative talent that it was a scandal for North Car- olinato have dispensed with his Services, why is not Massachusetts patriotic enough totake him upand and give him a seat? The neces- sary change of domicile could be very easily arranged, and we have no doubt, taking The Transcript’s estimate, that the state delegation would be improved. It occurs to usthut we should not ave to await a change of domicile on part of one negro, when Massachu setts already has some whom she prizes so highly. hy are they not sent. to the house or to the sea ate? Why dothey not reach the governor's chair or the bench o' cebief justice?

THE LEGISLATURE. Monday, llth: Senate—A bill was introduced by Gudyer to exempt ‘certain schools from the school book law. Bills passed: To incorperate | Wayne and Sampsen railroad. Tbe i Senate went into committee of the ; whole on the revenue bill and when ; the section taxing circuses $260 and leach side show $50 a warm dehate followed. The section was finally ‘amended so as to leave the tax $100 @S ub present. | The court of impeachment conven- ‘edat 12 o’clock and further hearing of the case was postponed until Tuursday. ‘he afternoon session was devoted tothe revenue bill. At the night ls-ssion a bill was passe’ amendiny ; the charter of Charlotte and estab- ili-hing a recorder’scourt. “Dho rev- ‘enue Sill passed its second reading. | Hause: Bills passed: Te restore {the oki county line betweea ashe ‘aad Witkes.

Anamendment by Judye i Graham for 2 new assessmeat this year was defzared Bills were passed: To provide for 'sale of property for taxes; to incor- | porate the Asheville Savings Bank; ‘to eucourage the sale of poultry in North Carolina; to prohibit export- ing quail from the State; to provide fora State banking system; the li- bel law. Night session—Bills passed: To reguiate the employment of labor; to reform young criminals; to allow warehousemen to give bond; favor- ing election of United States sena- ters by the people; to incorporate Raleigh & Virginia railroad. Tnesday, 12: Senate: Bills passed —To levy a special tax in Wilkes; to pay witnesses attending court of im- peachment and counsel;(This billwas opposed but finally the matter was left in the hands of the Gvuvernor:) to appoint justices of peace in dif- ferent counties. The revenue oill was taken up An ameadment pro hibitiog all slot machines except those with fixed returns was adopt- ed. The bill to pay the senators 34 per day, while sitting as a court of impeachment came up. Justive ad- voecated it, saying in part. Tne constitution says: ‘‘The court for impeachment shall be the Sen ate.’’ When tbe Senators take the oath they are separated from the legislative and become a part of the judicial branch of the government. Cherefore, according to the view of the majority of the judiciary com- mittee, the Senate can draw pay ip their separate and distinct capacity asacourt. Senator Justice had hes- ita'ed as a matter of delicacy but it seemed plain to him as 2 matter of law. The oath taken in thecourt of impeachment is ditferent from the oath as a Senator. Senator Henderson would have been glad if he could bave reached the same conclusion as a majority of the judiciary committee but he found no precedeut for itin North Caro lina. Never in the history of the State had the Senate sat apart from tce House of Representatives. If one adjourns then the otherad journed. The House of Representa tives is supposed to be present throughout a trial of impeachment; they are the prosecutors. The con- stitution prescribed that upon the verdict each Senator’s nameis called and he answers as a Senator and it requires two-thirds of the Senators present toconvict. He argued that the Senate could not sit apart from the House and in those States where the Senate did sit after tue adjourn ment of the House the Senators were all elected at one time. The consti- tutionis cleaa that Senators draw their pay as Senators and in the court of impeachment the members are still Senators asever so address ed, and cannot receive pay after 60 days. Senator Woodward madea strong legal argument in favor of the bill, but it was passed over. The Senate passed the primary election bill providing a legalized primary when asked for in Mecklen- ourg, Columbus, Cabarrus, Wake, Guilford Washington, Hyde Pamli co, Granville, Richmond, Durnam, Henderson, Orange, Beaufort, Mar- tin, Haywood, Tyrrell and Dare. At the afternoon session the resol- ution to pay senators $4 per diem was passed. The night session was devoted to the revenue act, on which progress was made. House. Capt. Ardrey in behalf of the committee on propositions aa grievances presented the chairman, Judge Graham, witha gold headed cane. This committee has handled over 400 of the 2,170 bills introduced in the House. Bills passed: To grant police pro tection to the State Asylums; to es tablish a dispensary at Kenly; to al low Richmond county to issue bonds: to discharge drunken solicitors. The bill to elect justices of peace in Stokes came up and much discussion was referred to committee. (Stokes is Repyblican and this bill could give “ach township one Democratic mag istrate. The bill to aid in establish- ing free school libraries came up and after being amended so that™ not more than six schools in one county can take advantage of it passed. A message was received from Gov- ernor Aycock recommending thesale of school bonds to aid ip supporting public school if neccessary. At afternoon session the new elec tion law passed; as did bills placing the Agricultural and Mechanical College under the control of the board of agriculture; to regulate the sale of liquor in Rowan and to elect one justice of the peace in each township in Yadkin. The night ses- sion was devoted to the appropria- tion bill which was not completed.

While the House was waiting for the Senate to complete its work, the senior member of the House and its most eloquent speaker, Mr. Jenkins, of Granviile, was called out for a parting speech. He said that when he was here forty years ago there were one or two great leaders, but the rank and file of the House of Representatives would not compare with the ability of the mea of this body. He said he had never seen zn evidence or suspicion of intoxication during his 60 days’ stay here, while 40 years ago inebriety was to be witnessed every hour in the day. He said this Legislature had kept its pledges to the people. It had provided for the education of the children, for the care and nurture of the afllicted, and for the preserva- tion of the franchise of the illiterace white man. Hespoke of the great intelligence of the members of this House and the patriotic industry of all. Hespoke of Grabam, Craig, Rouctree, Gattis, Convor, Allen, Speaker Moore and several others, as especially gifted with ail the at tributes of wise law-givers and splendid men among the leaders. e closed ia‘: 2 magnificent perora- tion of pathetic, burning eloquence. At the conclusion of his farewell ad- dress, every member of the House went forward and grasped the hand of the beloved and eloquent ‘‘Father of the House,’’ bidding him gvod- bye and God speed.

Col. Old’s Cor. 15th. Judge Allen, of Wayne, made the opening speech for the prosecution, which is required, stated the ease vefore the evidence is begun. He saidin the ceurse of bis speech that there had been itfluences at work \ereating the impressicn or spread tiny the veport that the people did 20% Gemand and were opposed te this trial. That was not a matter vo! which the Senators shou'd tale coe nizince, for, evea acmitting that the public were against impeachment, th should not deter a strict perform auceof duty. Hedid not prant that the people were against it and this impression in most iastanees could be traced te those personally inter ested. The House of Representa- tives had acted no motive except the public good. No Republican bad been denied admission to any session wf the comunittee. “Again it had been said that this was a smail iat ter, only involving $834; but a vital principle wasinveived. Judyze Al len traced the general history of im peachment, a power of supervisios the couduct of cficiais that the peo ple had reserved te themselves “his right must necessarily be broad lelastic¢ and the constitution cf “State so leaves this high preroga tive unhampered. Impesachabie of- fences were a violation of the consti tution, oroflaw or of an official oath, or an act committed or omit ted, or the abuse of diseretionars powers by improper motives. Any one of these acts is an impeachable one by the Stare. Yrom a standpoint of Jaw and res- son the implication that avid M Furches iszow unimpeachable for offences committed when associate justice is fallacious, because an of ficer cannot escape by either resigna tion or the elevation to a higher of fice. Nour authorities were quoted oo this point, from the United Stutes Senate and precedents from New York, Wiscoasinand Nebraska Vive charges were madeby Judve Allen against the judyes: 1. Violation of section 9, article 4, of the coustitution. 2. Violation of section 3, article 4, of the constitution, that no moneys should be drawn frem the pubdtic Preasury except by legistative ap propriaticn. 3. Violation of chaper 19, section 9, laws of 1899, which forbids pay- ment except ina prescribed method. 4. Violation of chapter 21, laws of 1899 3d That ina series of acts duringa period of two years they disregard ed the acts and will of the Legisla ture. Judge Allen gave a!l the history briefly of the caseand said that the answer of the ju'lges was a remark able document, combining the learn- tug of the lawyer, the skiil of the diplomat andthe craft of tne poli cian The answerdenies charges ] and 2, which Judge Allen then an- swered, Hesaid thatthe same pow er which could make an appropria- tion could withdraw it. There is no right of the people more jealousy guarded than that of control over the purse strings of the State. John Randolph and cthers were quoted. Yhe power ofthe people to hoid the public purse made impotent the sword of the king. The acquisition of thisright was dearly and pre ciously secured. It was derivedin the early vears when the King said to the Commons: ‘Give m2 money.” and the Commons said: ‘*Not uatil some wrongis redressed ’’ The ju ticiary is uow, according to authori Lies, the weakest branch of the gov ernment. The safety of the State demands that the right of the Legis fature to make appropriaticns shall ve mevintained. Jetfersou gave many warnings in his writings against the encroachment of tke judiciary. Judge Alien called attention te the conduc: of the judyesin issuine the writ. Why, if nothing wus vroag did not the judses ordev the writ issued in open court instead of going to the clerk privately and so telling him ind hesitating in public? He argued that the docirin of Hoke vs. Henderson was dangerous and had been curried to an extreme. The jedges have gone further than car rying this doctrine to an extest where it is almost impossible to abolish a public office in this State, and bave viclated two sections of the constitution and two statutes of the Legislature. The House managers for the people asked that these judges be tried as other men and when proyed guilty of these charges convicted. — Oonfederate Veterans’ Reunion. Mem phis, Ten. ,. Dispatch, 13. There wili be four days of the com- ing confederate reunion instead of three. Secretary Parker, of the confederate executive committee, received a communication from Ad- jatant General Moorman today an- councing that May 31st would be Forest day. This extends the reun- ion dates one day. It was not ex- pected that the gues:s would leave at once, and the genera! commitree ts expecting the whole week of the reunioa to bea busy one. Forest day will be a fitting close of the great celebration, and the spirit of the day will be patriotically observed. Ac Honest Medicine for Lagrippe, George W.

His ageis about 6d for ee oe Russia Causes Uneasiness, Pekin Dispatch, 12, The ministers’ meeting today dis- cussed the question of punishment of the previncial officers primarily respovsiti for the boxer treubles Tothe surprise of everybody the Russian minister objected to further puvishment of Cbkinese officials no matter how guilty. This is the first decided break in the concert of the powers. The Russian minister got his orders from St. Petersbury. It is ucderstood that he was instruct ed toaid China in every way io re- turn for China’s signing an agree ment recognizing Russia’s predomi nence in Manchuria. The Chinese peace commissioners pave endeavored to minimize the agreement in the hope of creating discord am ne the ministers. The position of America aod Japan i: regard jo further punishment ef officials isuvcertain, bot all the oth er powers favor the infliction of punishment except Russia. Most o: the foreign tmiuisters believe puni-h ment sbou'd ve inflicted in the in terest of ju-tice, declaring i? there be an: viel:ing in the macter of punishmeaut of the gulity officials the lives of focveigners in China will be insccure hereafter. Russia is expecting the arrival of further treops, and when they «ar rive they wiil make a demonstratiou in the Galf «{ Pechili. mainly as 2 warning te Janan to keep hands off if she has any idea of hinderivg Rus- sian vgvression. It is estimated that at present there is one hundred thousand Russians in China. Peace in South Africae Seems Nearezs. New YorkCom:nercial. It isdevouily to be hoped that the pending negoriations between the Britishand 1he Boer cowmunders in South Africa may lead tu the speedy coasummati. 2 of peace. A war that most of the world has looked upon as absolutely uunecessary, and of which it had been :nost coufidently pre dicted that it could not possibly con tinue over sx months, has dragged itstfslow leng hb a'ong Over a period of a year and w ba:f, with asacrifice of life and property and a waste of en- ergy that are appalling. Aside from all political considera- tions and those ofsentment or sym- pathy, the purely economic and com- mercial questions involved would seem to make it imperative that thls waste should stop. It is para lyzing the development of a rich country and se’ting back the civili- zation of a whole continent, while at the same time impoverisbing the treasury of Great Britain and im- posing taxes on her people, the bur- dens of which may yet lead to most serious consequences. Whether just or unjust, Great Bri- tain’s terms must inevitably be ac- cepted by the Republic of South Af- rica. It would have been wiser to have aczepted them a year ago.

Fries was with his father and broth- er, aud they chased the rabbit into abole. While each one was watch- ing one of the three entrances to the hole the rabbit came out of one of them and, hopping upon the gun which the boy had thrown down, struck the trigger with its iegs and discharged the gun. Both barrels were emptied into one of the boy’s legs, but he was not dangerously hurt.

Our present Legislature has done more for the cause of education ia North Carolina than any of its pre- decesors. flioweyer much it may de criticised or any of its other acts, it certainly should receive the hearty approval and commendation of all vood citizens for its action in so yreatly promoting the cause of edu- cation. It has begun the fulfillment of the pledges and promises, made oy the advocates cf the suffrave amendment to our State constitu tion, that every child should have aa opportunity to !ezrn to read write. It will be no fault of this Democratic oarvy, if every child in the State does not goto schco! for at ieast four months in every year. In the first place, the new schvol law enacted by this Legislaiure yeneraly conceced to te the best ev ver enacted in this State, and is one of the best in any State of the Union. It will give an impetus throughout the State to the cause of education that wili be of incaicu- lable benefit for years to come In the next place, the funds pro vided for education are much grea:er in amount than ever before. While uhe usual! schoo! tax on property and polls has not been inereased, ye: a largely increased amount wiil be caised from license taxes. By a practically unanimous vote the Legislature has appropriated two hundred thousand dollarsa year io the public schools This is in addition to the regular school fuad. One half of this appropriation will be expended only in the counties whose schoool terms are not four months. That is, it willbe used in equalizing terms of our pubiic schools, by belpinx the poorer counties.

The mascot Lad hoped to have the pleasure of recording the application of some school district in this county for the $10 library appropriation. What school will be first? Only six in the county can secure the appro- priation of $16 from the State after they have raised $10 privately in their district and secured ‘$10 from the county funds. Thirty dollars is asmall amount but Georgia has a similar law and Superintendent But- ler has a list of 60 books that are soid there for $23.50; and this list embraces a fair assortment of clean, wholesome literature. With $30, at the same rates, abont 75 books can be purchased, and this will be a good foundation for a library, being more than one book to each child or each family, in all probability,in the district. Only $5,000 was appro- priated for this purpose by the State and Iredell should move at once so as to be sure of starting six libraries in the county. How many school districts will raise the $10 necessary by private subscription before the next issue of the Mascor? ae Jurors for kederai Court, The spring term of Federal court will be called on Menday, April 15th.

In adispatch to the Secretay of State,received this morning, Special Commissioner Rockhill, at Pekin, asks to be definitely and specificially instructed as to the course he should pursue in connection with the desire of other foreign representatives to inflict punishment on provincial of ficials alleged to have been concern- ed in the Boxer outrages. The instructions which will be sentto Mr. Rockhillin response to this communication, it is said, will be in line with the course pursued by tke United States in the previous punishment demands. Briefly, this government holds that the Chinese imperiai authorities should try the accused offenders and inflict on those found guilty the greatest puaish ment possible for the authorities to inflict. Government officials maintain that that has been the position of the President and the Se¢retary of State from the beginning of the negotia- tions for peace, and that there is no uncertainty about their attitude now. In recent instructions to Min- ister Conger Secretary Hay said that the President hoped and ex pected that the shedding of blood in China was atan end. This referred specificially to the execution of certain Chinese digni- taries on the demand of the minis ters of the powersat Pekin, but it is understood that it was not meant to interfere with the trial and pun ishment of Chinese by the imperiai government, acting imdepeadertly of the powersand without coerzion. The United States goyernment is opposed to what was cermed by aa oiicial today ‘“‘punisbmeat by desig nation. This mode of administering justice is regarded as foreign to American ideas of right and justice. Punishment by designztion in the Chinese negotiations means that the foreign ministers shul! aame the per- sons to be punished and insist that this one be executed and that the ae oner and soon through the ist, Such a method is so far removed from the principle of trial by jury or oy Competent and just judges that it does not meet in any way with the approval of the United States. Special Commissioner Rockhill will be so informed. _—_———i> +>: aa A Texas Mob Burnsa Negro. Corsicana, Texas, Dispatch 14th. John Henderson, colored, who brutally murdered Mrs. Younger, a farmer’s wife, living just outside the city. several days ago, was burned to death in the court house square here at noon today. A written confession of the crime, attested by Justice Roberts, was se- cured from the prisoner. Five thousand people witnessed the burn- ing, and business was practically suspeaded for a time. When it became public that Hen- derson had confessed people swarm- ed around the jail. It was decided to burnthe prisoner at stake at 2 p.m, but news was received that troops had been started from Dallas and the execution was hurried. A railroad rail was driyen into the ground of the court house square. Boxes and dry timber were piled around it and saturated with oil. The nogro was fastened to the rail with wire and chains. Cans of oil were emptied over his clothing and dozens of ligthed matches touched the inflammable material.

Why not distipline Governor Hill for his El! mira speech in which he declared for che free coinage of silver?

Democrats, turning their faces to ward morning, kaving full respect for their predecessors, wil! meet the issues of 1904 on their own merits without the dictation of either scold orlash. The democrat who truly desires the success of his party will not seek to attach to it any legacy of the past, but will let it meet the future with untrammeled freedom.

He stated that the condition of Southern agriculturewasmu hbetter in 1890 than in 1880, and was better now thanin 1890. The improve- ment was due mainly to two influ- ences, (1.) Diversification of crops in raising home supplies at home. (2.) Better understanding and great- er use of fertilizers—es pecially home made fertilizers. He stated further, that in the pro duction ef corn, bacon, wheat and ober food stuffs, the South had not reached the point to which these were produced in 1860. Although the population of the Southern States has greaily increased, the production of food stuffs is yet in oulk aud per capita far below what i> was in 1860. Prof. Dabaey expressed the opin ioa that the production of home supplies would now rapidly increase ind that in the near future Southern farmers will be raising all their rome supplies at home. aud from that time the farming interests cf ‘he South will again beon and in- devendent basis. He laid mucb much stress on the importance cf common school edu cation of the entire youth of the South. He thought that the great interest in textile education might overshadow the importance of com- mon school education.

He was elected a Senator of the United States. from Indiana for the term of six years from March 4, 1881.. In 1888 he was elected President of the United States over Grover Cleveland, and was again 2 candidate for the presi- dency in 1892, when he was defeated by Cleveland. Although a man of great ability, General Harrison was so often ac- cused of being merely the grandson of William Henry Harrison, that during the candidacy for the presi dency cartoonists pictured him as wearing his grandfather’s bat, that term finally becoming a by-word with his political opponents. Since retiring from publie life Generai Harrison had devoted himself to the racticeof law, at which he was very successful.

A vertical incision about five lacces long wasmadein the abdomen and bh the growth, the exp yyloris showing a tumor outside stomach An incision was made in the stomach, and inside wes found a Congzerous growth the size of a iarge orange. The stomach was ent away intestines, and the organ fted completely out of its piace ana on 2 cushion ofantiseptic cloths, slaced on the patient's chest.

Avy- cock referred to the article of Prof. J. B. Thayer. in the Harvard Law Review, on “Our Receat Posses- sion.’’ as containing an exposition of the principle which actuated the amenders of the Nortk Carolina constitution. : Theeffect of Governor Aycock’sina- innugural address up Prof. Prescott was to cause him to think still more of the white man’s point of view aud to be willicg to abidea little more by it. This is toleration which is surprising, in view of the bigotry with which New England generally regards southern prebiems.
