DEFERRED MATTER
Extra Session.

The subject of an extra session is being
mcoted in partizan circles in certain places
in eastern Virginia, and probably other
sections of the State. The primary OBJ
ject seems to be to anticipate the proba-
BILE defeat OF the Democratic party next
fall, and secure the present corps of par
titan superintendent of public schools
The terms of nearly all the city and
county superintendent of public schools
will expire before the next regular ses-
sion. While they will serve until their
successors are chosen, yet if the Republic
cans should elect the State ticket they
would have the control of the BOARD of
Education. 1t is constituted of three,
the Governor, Attorney General, and we
believe the Auditor Of Public Accounts.
1t m axes the appointment of the super
inten dents, which have to be confirmed
by the Senate. Should the Republicans
elect the State ticket they would have the
appointing power. Should they elect
eleven out of the 10 Senators to be chosen
in November, they would have control Of
the Senate. as 10 of the hold over SEM tors
are Republicans. and that would give
them power to co nfirm. And should they
lose the State ticket and get control of
the Senate, they would have the power to
pass upon the qualifications of the su.
perintendents appointed by Democratic
par TITAN board. In either event. a nnm-
Der of the superb ntendents who have
gone out of their way and out of the
legitimate sphere of their duties to be-
become partizans, would be dispensed
with,
The public schools are a non~parrizan
institution. All alike are interested in
their administration, and no man is
proper officer under the system, who al
lows his political prejadices to sway him
in his office. That the public schools have
become a part Of the Democratic party
machinery, goes without saying. And
any officer of the schools. be he Republi
can Or Democrat, who so far forgets his
duty, aud SO lightly appreciates the re-
sponsibllty attaching to his position, as
to become a partizan in election times, is
unfit for the trust That is one thing that
ought to be kept aloof from the filth and
! mire of partizan politics. Next to the
pulpit, the Office of superintendent of
public schools should be cherished as
above all others, and emancipated from
the touch and domination of the foul hand
of the demagogue and the machine ma
nipulator.
We hardly think it probable the Govern
or will call an extra session, and thus
place himself in the position, officially, of
engineering scheme to effect a partizan
and through -partizan institution.
It would round out bis administration
with very dark spot and indefensible
partizan act, and hand him down to pos
terity as the chief magistrate of the Com
monwealth who preferred to serve his
party to serving his country-a partizan
and not patricia scheming demagogue
consulting partizan interests, and not a
patriot seeking to serve the people and
promote the public welfare.

"CASH Or CREDIT"

EN- dong credit business one-half the capt.
tai is in accounts and makes no profit after 1t
goes on the books, a double profit must be
charged on the goods sold. A merchant with
cash can buy cheaper than one who depends on
collecting accounts to meet his bills.
In rating merchants worth cash or good
notes count hundred cents for dollar. Book
accounts count nothing and they Oftimes make
him poorer. A farmer does not accept the
term charge it" IOr his wheat or corn and go
home without any money, but when he sells
his stock or produce he wants the money at
once, When a merchant sells for cash he adds
a profit for the use of the money for the time it
is invested-30, 50 or 50 days What he sells on
credit he adds profit for the time the money
is used 80 Or so Gays in goods and to II months
on the books-fuliy one year i'll allie or II per
centum more than the cash dealer. The cost
of collecting, the cost and time o. keeping the
books and the lots of unpaid accounts for
those who do pay have to pay for what others
get and do nos pay for.
All ofthls amounts to two Or three times the
profit the cash dealer charges To accommo-
date those who want time and tt e benefit of
cash prices, have adopted Taylor's Coupon
System. BY this system no books are kept ,
There are no disputes as there no goods
chorged which the customer thinks he did not
gee. Every sale is a cash sale, and the goods
are paid for by the coupons taken from book.
Every page IN each book represents 50 cents in
coupons, which are SO arranged that any
amount to o cent, be computed and de-
tached at will
Fraud is prevented, which sometimes occurs
IN open accounts. Every one at all times
knows how much he owes. There are no mis-
takes, and it saves time ard trouble for both
merchant and customer.

What is F.upsxn

A philosophical definition of luck is
given by an English writer as capability
of being incapable. The first Rothschild
was probably right, from his point of view,
when he said that he never would employ
an unlucky man. On the other hand, the
lucky man is usually the man who fits his
fortunes; who whether apparently able OF
stupid. can do just what his especial cir.
cumstances require him to do. Very
stupid men are often ready men, armed
with readiness as of dogs when they
twist from under cart wheel unhurt
The fool who makes a fortune is usually
a man with just the foresight or just the
Judgment or the intuitive perception Of
the way things are going-a faculty like
long sight or keen hearing, and indepen
dent of intellectual power-requisite tt
make large profits quickly. In fact, thu
fortunate E1an is usually the man who, il
co sequence of some hidden qualify in hi
nature. deserves fortune. Popular Sci
