THE SCHOOL TAX.

The State tax for public schools is
121 cents On the 500 valuation
Some OF the educational leaders will
use the most earnest efforts to secure
an increase Of this to 25 cents. 1t
will be II special matter before tue
Legislature. If the valuations of
real estate for assessment were raised
so as to be just, the present rate OF
taxation would be ample for ali needs.
Something in this direction must be
done.

A WARNING TO BAsHFUL MEN.

He sat besides her near the stove,
A pray to bashfuiness;
To her he spoke no words of love.
Nor sought her hand to press.
No maiden eyer had been woosd
By him, the fact was plain,
For silently he sat and che wed
The knob upon his cane.
Sometimes he at the ceiling gaEed,'
Sometimes his glance would stray
To her, but when her eyes she raised
He looked another way.
And thus they silent sat till she
Said: John ought to state
That pa and ma are out to tea,
And won't return till late.
Now while they re absent, do not tease,
But pray remember this:
Ny hand you must not try to squeeze,
Nor steal from me kiss.
At once the knob that graced his cane
John from his mouth withdrew,
And said, Il won t, don't think, Miss
Jane,
That I d do that to youl'
A deeper silence then ensued
Than prevailed before:
John vigorously his caned knob chswed.
A frown James visage wore.
And thus they sat till half past ten:
And when John rose TO go.
And asked if he might Call again,
Jane curtly answered, No"

LETTER ABOUT OYSTERS,

Mr.. r. Winslow writing to the E.
City Economist of ,He 9Th. says: II
notice in your last paper a paragraph
to the effect that the natural oyster
beds OF the State are inexhsustabls.
As an impression OF that sort, if once
current NAV result in serioas harm
to~the industry. l suggest that a cor
rection of the statement be made
There is not a single instance on re-
cord, anywhere in the world, OF an in
exhaustable oyster bed, nor a single
instance of the survival Of one afte-.
exposure to the common or general
fishing. Even in France where pro-
tective measures have been most
stringent and most thoroughly en-
forced, the natural oyster beds have
been DESTROYED. Every where they
have perished and the len eth OF time
nece sarv TO the destruction is wholly
dependent upon the size Of the beds
and tie Violence Of the fishery upon
them. / he beds of Chesapeake Bay
nC, upv in round Numbers some 40
900 "cres. The fishery (tnodernj on
those beds may be said to have begun
at the War. ln twenty five years
those beds have been nearly destroy
ed and IN ten years more the greater
part Of them will have become pra =
ticslly y extinct. North Carolina has
onl = some 5000 acres aad only aboa;
5000 acres N P1mlico Sound and it's
tributaries If the 400, 900 acres OF
the Chesapeks have been destroyed
in twenty-five to thirty years-how
long will it take to destroy the 5000
acres in North Carolina? And after
these are des roved what becomes of
the industry?
I notice also communication on
the oyster question IRON Gull RDck.
Most of the suggestions appear 10 he
good, but o IT correspondent fall into
error in thinking that the return of
shells to the rock in the manner he
proposes is Of any benefit. To secure
the attachment of young oysters the
shells must be put over during the
spawning seasons, otherwise thev are
of No value. Bat it is not the tax NJ
away Of shells that destroys the bed;
it IS the carrying of OF the oysters.
1t is useless to expose objects for
attachments whom there are no oy-
sters to attach; no amount of hay in
a barn will raise calves without the
interposition Of tue bull aud COW,
and tons Of shells will not raise oys-
ters after the parents have been car
ried to market.

It i$said that an Alliance school

1t is said by authority of the State
Secretary of tLe Farmers Alliance
that the 3Alliance has a controlling

The Alliances seems to be growing

more especially in the Northwest.

Sub-Treasury plan, and declares that

love for their State and they are not

dishonorable or like breaking of

The Supreme Council of the Far

of America will meet in Ocola, Fla,
Dec. 6. There will be some thirty
States represented aud we may ex-
pect some wise legislation done.
North Carolina has SIX delegates.
The colored alliance meets at same
time and place.
No true farmer will be ashamed of
his vocation. 1t is a calling God
ordained, and outranks all others in
point of antiquity. Broadcloth and
fine jewery do not make nobility.
nor do jeans and brogans indicate
plebeian origin. All conditions and
classes are dependent upon the far

the world. Why. then, should he
not be proud to be known as tilier

fourth Kansas Judicial District, who
knows no law, is about to begin

Law School, where his tuition will
be paid by the Alliance. lie will
take the oath On January 13h. and
claims to have got a smattering Of
legal knowledge while young man

The Wilmington Messenger says
there seems to be a gathering i'm
preston that combined. determined
effort will be made to defeat Sena-
tor Vance. We shall not believe
that after victory any members of
Farmers Alliance will go against
their declarations and promises before
the election. We shall believe that
the farmers elected are men Of integ-
rity and fairness, and ..only treachery
and falsehood become operative and
accomplished can make US think
otherwise. There may be here and
there an unworthy man, but there
was never vet a nation of towards or
a party of venal and trading polite
ians. We have no idea that the
Democrats OF North Carolina in or
out of the Farmers Alliance will
tolerate any betrayal of truth and
honor under any pressure or promise.
We expect the men elected to the
Legislature as Democrats to bear
themselves as honest and honorable
men and above all suspicion. They
will do it.
The Alliance is fast becoming a
power in the land, end it's infu.
ence is being felt by all classes. 1t
is opposed of course, by capitalists
and to a certain extent by merch-
ants. In this money loving, corrupt
age, some people cannot understand

ceed in its noble work and it will

So say we. The Alliance is all
right in principle. The only dan.
ger is in its being led into wrong
paths by designing men who have
only self-interest at heart. There
is no crime in combining for self
protection, and in doing this the
farmer do not necessarily prove
that they are antagonistic to the
rights of any other honest man.
The trouble with them is that they

SPECIAL TAX stamp.
Collector French Being Looked After

County Attorney Carleton OF Kennebec
county recently wrote to Congressman
Dingiey, alleging that Internal Revenue
Collector French OF Portsmouth had issued
special tax stamps to liquor dealers in Ken
nebec county and other parts Of Maine un-
der fictitious names, and without designat-
ing the street or number. etc, which in
formation Mr.. Dingley brought to the
attention of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.
The Commissioner replies to Congress
man Dingley that he has addressed q letter
to Collector French on the subject, in
which the Commissioner says that such q
practice is illegal, and that If any Deputy
Collector has done as alleged he should at
once be discharged. The Commissioner
adds:
at was suggested by your predecessor
(Page) that the deputies were in the habit
of considering the name given by the tax
payer as the true name. and that they were
not charged with any further diligence in
the matter. This is not true in any sense.
They are charged especially with the duty
of knowing who are engaged in business in
their n spective divisions for which . tar
should be paid to the government"
