School Directors Moet-A Public Park
Wapted-Personals.
PASADENA, Aug. "A meeting OF the
board OF school directo5s was held last
evening, when the matter OF accommo-
dating students for the coming year was
thoroughly discussed, in conjunction
with Prof. Graham. The double session
scheme came up Tor discussion, and was
quite generally favored, although no
definite action WAS taken in the matter.
The plan as outlined is to hold morning
and afternoon sessions in the two lower
grades in Lincoln school, OF four hours
each. By beginning at o'clock the
morning session could be closed at IL 80
and the afternoon session at 4 O'Clock,
giving four hours to each. the same as
heretofore. This really aeems the only
scheme, outside of renting buildings,
which, for the room required, would
prove very expensive. If successfully
carried out, this would effect a material
saving in school expenses. No definite
action wac taken by the board. The en-
tire matter WAS left in the hands OF
President Boynton.
A PUBLIC PARK.
Among the many thinga which
should receive attention in he framing
Of our new charter is that of a public
park. Pasadena should have park,
and the insertion OF clause making
such step possible is highly desirable.
On this point the Star says:
Ii. when that proposed new charter
shall come to be considered by the Is
distinguished citizsus who are to frame
the same, there 10 not some opportunity
found for inserting therein clause that
shall encourage the requirement by the
city OF park, great many good friends
OF Pasadena will conclude that some.

things here quite badly and several a

following island Advices from special
correspondents of the Associated Press |.
ArIA, Samoa, July 1s.-The native
troubles here have undergone but little
change since the sailing Of the previous
steamer. There have been two skir-.
mishes between small bands OF the CON-
tending forces, and several Samoans
have been killed and wounded. There
has, however, been no really serious OUT
break, andth protracted struggle does
not appear to be nearing termination.
No decisive action having been taken by
the treaty powers, the rebel leaders
have improved their opportunity By cir
culating reports that King Malietoa and
his government are to be overthrown by
the three treaty powers. 1t has been
claimed that in this manner the rebel

ties of government that are to them OBJ

their ground in Atua and are well sup
piled with arms and ammunition. No
determined attempts have been made 20
disledge them, and the only fighting
has been desultory skirmishing in the
bush between the rebels and bands Of
the kings warriors. Both the rebel
and government warriors continue their
barbarous practice of beheading those
OF the enemy who fall into their hands.
A number of the Germsn residents here
have forwarded petition asking the
German government to annex or estab-
lish protectorate over Samoa. The
German warships Buzzard and Fake
aud the British cruiser Curacao are still
in the harbor here. The Orlando, flag.
ship of the British Australian squadron,
arrived here July 8th and remained four
days. She sailed for Fiji. British resi-
dents here expected the admiral to in.
terfere to restore order. Owing to con-
tinued warfare, many of the natives
have neglected their planting, and as Q
result food is becoming scarce among
them.
Some OF the natives are resorting to
theft. and of course the foreign residents
are the greatest sufferers.

THEN AND NOW.

The battle of ~Sharpsburg Or of Chan
cellorsville or any other battle has
nothing to do with the political issues
of to day, and the man who has to go
back thirty years to divert the atten-
ton of the people from the live problems
now confronting US only excites the
pity of thoughtful people. The man
who was true to his country in his
youth or prime should be true to her
to-day when she is appealing to every
son to help rescue her from the relent-
less clutches of ~plutocracy, and the
man who is deaf to that appeal is a
traitor, it matters not how glorious
was his record as a soldier thirty years
ago. says the Richmond Evening Star.
The fact that a man once in his life
time chose the right side on a great
issue in noWise excuses him to day if
he be on the side Of wrong or afraid to
say where he stands.
1t costs more to be a hero today
than it did in 1861. Moral courage is
what is required now-not physical.
There isn't so much heroism in a mans
going into a battle when everybody
else is doing it. But there is great
herois IMMORAL heroism that partakes
of sublimity-in ones standing above
the politician and the rabble on the
great economic and ethical questions
of the day, amid the ridicule and abuse
of prejudiced and ignorant m II.

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of it's digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing, as regards its mere composition,
than half a pound of beef; but while
the beef will be easily digested, and
thus be as vast service to us, the cheese
is put out of court altogether for ordi-
nary folks by reason of its indigestibil
ity. We should bear this rule In mind
when we hear people comparing one
food with another in respect to their
chemical value.

A SOW that farrows only once per
year Is not paying greatly. In the
time of idleness when she should be
making a second record and is not, she
largely devours what she yielded as
profit. It Is far better to make half a
dozen sows yield twelve litters than to
get the same number of young at one
narrowing from a dozen sows. Those
who do not make a business of raising
pigs for sale, produce only spring pigs
and soon form the opinion that it is
almost as cheap to buy suckers, Any
man who spends time with one litter
may car for four to eight almost as
quickly and with ten times as much
profit.

GOOD ROADS.

Paper Read in Jackson County Alliance,
Adopted and Ordered Published
in the Progressive Farmer.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer,
This is a matter that is now attract
ing the attention of our wisest and best
men. 1t is claimed, and justly so, that
three things are essential to the welfare
of any community or country.
/. Good churches.
Q. Good schools and each well pat
ronized.
8. Good roads.
To Jour sorrow we have but very little
of either of the above three things, and
why's Simply because we do not want
them, as each one could be fully en-
ioyed in our noble country (western
North Carolina) if we would only make
an effort in that direction.
Take our sister county, Mecklen-
burg, who, through her worthy and
energetic representative, Capt. Alex
ander, now stands head on the good
roads question, and as a matter of fact
is improving in everything-morally,
and einancially-simply because she
has gone to work on her roads. Why
not each county in grand old State
take a lesson from Mecklenburg end go
to work on our public roads and not
stop until we have completed our roads
in such a way that men from the North,
South, East and West will come to our
county and say she is a progressive
one; look at her roads.
The question now is, how are we to
improve our public roads9 1 say give
US the Mecklenburg road law" and
soon our roads will be like the roads of
that county. 1 say we ought to in
struct our Representatives in the next
Legislature, both in the House and Sen
ate, to have our county to come under
that law.
The law provides for the public roads
to be kept up by taxation, each town
ship of road district to vote on the ques-
ton or roads being worked by taxa
ton, and if they do not want the law
in any township they simply vote it
down. The law further provides that
any man shall have the right to work
out his road tax on the roads.
am in favor of this plan of keeping
up the public roads. In this way every
man pays or works according to his
value-an dd UalOrem system-which 1
endorse. Good roads are to the mate
rial advantage of the farmers, and that
is the class we wish to favor most.
Now in conclusion 1 say, let us insist
on our Representative to give US a bet
ter system of road laws, forcing all to
help improve our county according to
his property. The more property,
more work on the public roads, is my
motto, and I hope to soon see all of the
same opinion. Then we will have one
thing we greatly need, and that is good
roads. Respectfully,
T. NJ. FRIzELL, Co. Secretary.

doing anything in that way. All we
know is that such is believed to be the
fact, and we therefore take advantage
of that belief to warn the Norfolk and
Western and all other railroad corpora
tions of the State to keep their hands
off our elections.
1.-The railroads have no better friend
in the State than the Times, and 1t Will
fight while it can raise a hand to save
them from Kent bills or other Popullst
measures of destruction. But the Times
will not stand by and see the railroads
pollute our suffrage, and debauch our
voters with money. Better, far better,
that we have no railroads, and that we
return to the days of OK carts and stage
coaches, than that our whole population
shall become the liveried and gilded
slaves of rich railroad corporations.
"As the friend of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad we warn it, there
fore, to keep tshands OUT of this affair.
The people of this State are determined
to break UP railroad interference with
their elections, and the Times is going
to exert it's best endeavors On the side
of the people in that contest. "-Rich-
mOnd Times, Oct. g.
The above editorial shows that the
Times is growing better. Heretofore
it has c~ontented itself by waiting until
after the meanness was consummated
before it raised any objections. At the
present rate of reformation the great
grandson of the editor of the Times
will be capable of conducting a pretty
honest newspaper.

HANDS OFF,

sit comes to us, on what we regard
as reliable authority, that controlling
meL in the management of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company have
admitted that that corporation is going
to spend money in n Of our Congress
sional districts in the present election
NOT through the authorities of the
Democratic party, but on their own
account. The same authority repre-
sents that there has been distinct evi
dence in that district that money was
already being used there.
IF it is legitimate for political parti, s
to use money in elections at all, rail
roads have, Of course, the same right
as all other parties to subscribe their
money to the campaign funds of the
party that they wish to see prevail.
We have seen such horrible results in
Virginia grow out of the use of money
In elections that we sometimes question
whether the use of any should be
allowed at all, except for some inciden-
tai matters. If, however, campaign
funds are permissible, the railroads
have the same right to subscribe to
those campaign funds that all citizens
have.
"But in the two last elections in Viz
Slnla, the rallrOaQS SET up an election
bureau of their own. They provided
an election fund, and put it's disburse
ment under the control of their own
officers. We shall never consent to see
this thing done again, without fighting
1T with every energy we can command.
When a railroad company gives a can
dldate for the legislature or for Con.
gress money, it places that candidate
under pecunlary obligations to itself,
so that If he is elected he becomes the
representative of the railroad. instead

we had hoped that the revelation,
which were made here last winter, anc
the distinct evidences of public opinion
concerning these relations when the
were made would have deferred tn

now, that the Norfolk and Western

The Wisconsin Dairy Associations has
the right kind of ring in it's systematic
effort to make loyalty to dairy inter
ests an issue in the election of every
legislator and State official. Such work
is honorable ard right and if farmers
organizations would pull together and
down every politician known to be op
posed to measures beneficial to the pro
ducers of the land, great good would
be accomplished. Self preservation is
one of natures first laws, and farmers,
above all other c1deses, are in need of
its benefcent effect.
