....But the work of the Winston pee
pie is only the elimination (if indeed the
climax has yet been reachedl of what has
been going on elsewhere for years in
other towns and cities of the State. The
Centennial Graded School, in Raleigh,
was the first, we believe, of that class Of
Schools to go into successful operation
Tin 1870, and Capt. j. +. Digger claims
to be the pioneer in this work. With
that School as a beginning, the Graded
School idea has expanded until now there
are schools of that class in successful
operation in Goldsboro, Kinston, New
bern, Wilson. Rocky Mount. Magnolia
Wilmington, Fayetteville. Charlotte, Lin
c~olnton, Salisbury, Greensboro, Durham,
and perhaps other places, and the idea
still marches on. What may we hope to
see in ten years from Winston
Leader.

Supreme court, referring to the Congress
as 1.-THE Legislature Of a Sorereign Ma
ton" The Supreme court has declared
squarely that there is no power possess
ed by other Sovereign Nations" that
cannot be exercised by the Congress OF
this Sovereign Nation.' Hear that
and wonder. Shades of the Democratic
Fathers? Whittier are We tending ?
Let men who have intelligence and who
would not see Jul country destroyed
and the liberties Of the people over
thrown combine to resist the insidious
and also the open attempts to under
mine the constitution and to bride the
people to their undoing. The most
dangerous assault upon the virtue of the
people is contained in the heavily sugar
coated pill called the Blair Educational
bill.-Star.
