Cora Cliff was standing just where
the sunset turned her chestnut curls to

at the waist with broad blue ribbon.
She had never looked fairer nor more

women dangerous.

The grain markets have been quite active
during the past week but at the same time a
very unsettled feeling prevailed, and values
were irregular and subject to both frequent and
quite severe fluctuations. At times prices for
wheat were higher and also lower, but the
closing quotations for futures do not show any
change as compared with the opening, although
the premium for cash wheat has been lost.
The corn market was active but unsettled, al
though averaging, and closing 2C03c higher.

were rather quiet, but very firm throughout
and higher. The receipts of Al kinds of grain
were lighter, and fair shipments were reported
New York and Liverpool advices were rather

The Peabody Educational Fund.

At meeting of the Trustees OF the
Peabody Educational Fund in New York.
the other day, the report Of DR.. Sears,
the general agent, was read. The report
states that the public schools are con
stantly improving III character and IN
creasing in number. North Carolina has
not yet made equal progress. The Pea
body schools of the State are numerous.
They receive too little support from the
State, and depend too much on contr-
buttons from others. The Superintend-
ent of Public Schools is now, as our
agent, visiting the people aud setting
the subject III Its proper light before
them. OF South Carolina but little can
be said. Until recently few applications
for assistance have been made from that
State. The people of Georgia are in
condition not unlike that of North Caro-
lima in regard to schools. Florida, Al
kansas, and Texas are at the present
time, perhaps, behind the other South
ern States in support OF schools. From
present indications, however, most ia
vorable report may be expected next
year. Over 100 counties of Texas have
been visited by the agent, and about
1000 schools are reported III operation.
The State superintendent OF Schools III
Alabama reports that public schools are
now more popular than ever before. The
Superintendent of Public Schools in
Mississippi says that public sentiment is
rapidly being developed in favor Of free
public schools, and that taxes for their
support are promptly paid The in
crease in attendance has been more than
20 per cent. over last year. The work
in Louisiana, though by no means ost,
is not accomplishing all that could be
desired. La Tennessee public schools.
are rapidly multiplying, and West Vir-
ginia continues to support It's schools,
but failed this year to make appropria
tons for its normal schools. The funds
did not hold out sufficiently last year to
give the last State its due share. 1t will
therefore receive the more the present
year. The contributions of the Trustees
for the year ending July, 1915, are as
follows: Virginia, 1913, $50; North Caro-
lima, $40, $50; Georgia, 300; Florida,

Is New York on the Decline 4!

In some recently compiled statistics
which profess to be reliable, il is esti-
mated that the real estate in New York
is mortgaged for 81, 900, 600, 900, being
at the rate of 100000 per acre for the
10000 acres supposed to be thus encum-
bered. The usual rate of interest on
mortgages in that city is 7 per cent. this
would make the annual interest paid

on the gross amount of mortgages, fOI
taxes, and l per cent. for lawyers fees,
and the sum is $16S, 900, 000-or sos,
600, 900 more than the annual interest ON
the national debt. We DO not know
whether these estimates are correct or
not; the figures are appalling enough to
make us wish they are exaggerated; but
if they may be taken as approximately
accurate, the New Workers have 10 make

and taxes every year besides. For

Indian TrampS.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times says: "A delegation of
Pueblo Indians, composed of three mem
bers of the tribe, arrived III this city to.
day. They came ON alone, on trip of
both business and pleasure. They had
only enough money to bring them here,
and made application at once to the In
dian Commissioner for some supplies.
He has quartered them at one of the In
dian hotels, and will probably furnish
them transportation on their return.
They had letter addressed to the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, from Indian
Agent Thomas, dated Santa Fe, April %,
1875, introducing them and saying they
go to Washington at their own expense.
to see the President, the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, the Secretary of the
Interior, and others. The letter says
They make the trip witha view to com
bining business and pleasure. Their
BUSH ess l leave them to state. re-
spectfully recommend them to your kind
consideration. They ALSO had letter
addressed to the President from the rep
resentative men of their tribe, praying
that the Great Father would prevent the
MeXicans from raiding on them, and dis
possessing them of their lands. These
Indians are among the few survivors of
the famous Aztec race of Mexico. In
reply to questions by the Commissioner,
they said their fare to Washington cost
them 1925, which they were several
months begging in New Mexico. They
were twelve days EN- route.
