doubt desired by every supervising school

Some towns are very deficient in
teachers: others have a large surplus

many Young teachers of little experience,
and some candidates of no experience,
whose merits are known only to the SUI
pervisor of his or her own town. There
are many of these promising young
teachers with energy, ambition, mental
fitness and love for the work, who should
be properly encouraged, their exceilences
and peculiarities noted, and known all
over the county, so that every supervisor
could have proper knowledge OF all the
teachers in the county.

That New York Granite Law.
STATE OF NEW YORK,

STATE OF NEW YORK,
ASSEMBLY CHAMBER, r.
ALBANY, March 10, 1890
To the Editor of the american:
Unusual interest has been manifested
in the Tobin law, chapter III of New
York. 1894 This law has created much
discussion, and all parties interested IN
the granite industry of New England are
giving attention to the present efforts
being made in the New York Legislature
to have the law amended. 1t has been
given out in several newspapers through
out Maine that this law has been
amended so that paving blocks are eX-
empted from its provisions, thereby
allowing paving blocks to be cut IN
Maine as heretofore. This is not the
case, and the purpose of my writing Is to
correct this and to show the present and
true position of this all-important law.
1t has been found impossible to repeal
the Tobin law, and every effort has been
made and it has required diligent and
persistent efforts to bring the Legislature
of New York to except paving blocks
from the provisions of the law. 70 ac-
complish this the united efforts OF all
parties contractors, employers and en-
ployees have been conferred The granite
paving industry of New York and New
England would be destroyed did this law
prevail This was clearly seen by all con-
cerned, but leg islators saw matters differ
entity, and it required Us to show the true
position of affairs
This bill has been brought up in the
assembly four times, and it was only
after repeated rebuffs that We We're to-
day enabled to pass it by a vote OF
ninety-siX for and five against. We thus
got the bill from he assembly. 1t now
goes to the Senate, where, perhaps, the
same obstructive forces will be met.
Legislators believe that the state of
New York is amply competent to supply
its markets with granite for paving pur-
poses Practical and competent men
know di fferent, but il has required hard
work to convince assemblymen to the
contrary. Local pride, regardless of
ability, has held sway, but We are pleased
to see that the chief difficulties have been
overcome, and now that the Senate is
reached the bill will, we hope, be got
through, and the paving industry once
more be begun, not only III the interest
of the vessels, the quarries and laborers
of Maine but III the interests of the citi-
Zens of New York state.

aggregated mass of atoms, making a

will tell US that that is what occurs to
US at death. We are dissipated among
the forces of the universe; are immor-
tai, to be sure, but immortal only as
force, not as individuals. Christ
taught enthusiastically, that we are
personalities and shall remain such to
the end of the world; that death is not
our atomizcr and has no power what
ever over character.
Then we need not fear death, but
should be glad for those who have got
away from the body. They are over
yonder and our faces are turned in
the same direction. Let death come
how it will, it cannot disturb US. If
it comes suddenly all the better, for

crees, and as for us, we will be ready

ing Southwark. Even the West itself
is contributing its full quota of citizens
in the tide Of immigration setting in
towards the South.
Quite number Of Western farmers
have already located in our State, and
many others are prospecting in this
section, or are In corresp>ss, .>..,- with
the Department of Agriculture, with
view of locating here. 1t is not
strange that farmers from the North
and West should come to this section.
Indeed it is strange that their coming
has been delayed SO long, and can
only be accounted for on the suppose
ton that they are ignorant Of the
climatic and other advantages of our
section. The panic and other causes
have SO reduced prices that the Yves,
is unable to compete with the South,
hence the tide of immigration has
been turned in this direction. A study
of existing conditions will convince
the most skeptical that the turning of
the tide is due to natural advantages
here and is not spasmodic but
permanent.
What is going on in the agricultural
world has its counterpart in the cotton
milling business. The best informed
mill men admit that this section can
distance all competitors in the manu-
facture of the coarser cotton fabrics.
Then why not the finer7 All that is
needed is the machinery and labor
and money will secure both of these.
That man is laggard who has not
discovered that the South has entered
upon a new era. Her growth and
prosperity within the next ten years,
we predict, will be phenomenal. Nor
will it be spasmodic. 1t will be steady
and continuous. Only this morning
we were in conversation with an intelli-
gent New Highlander who believes that
the South has already entered upon
the dawn of a prosperous day, and
that this fact is being realized elsewhere.
We are rejoiced at these things, and
while we are glad to have the energy
and brains and money of other sections,
we want our own people to grasp the

enterprise and progress, and reap a
fair share Of the rewards that are sure
to come.

From the Lowell Nor

From the Lowell Morning Citizen.
At Atlantic. Iowa, On May Z, C.. NJ.
Ailor, alias 'Crip," AiIor, was convicted
OF deceiving the people by sellinga worth
less compound, which he represented to
be Hoods Sarsaparilla, and was SEN
fenced by Judge Macy to one year at
hard labor in the Iowa State Peniten-
tiary. Ailor's methods were those of a
travelling fakir. He has been travelling
through Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa,
making stands OF day or more in each
town, and representing himself as an
agent under salary from G. 1. Hood L
Co, and selling his connection at one
dollar or fifty cents per bottle, giving
with each sale various other worthless
articles. Citizens OF Griswold, Iowa, be-
came suspicious and ascertaining from q
druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hoods Sarsapariila, but merely col
ored water, had him arrested. Three
indictments were found against him.
The jury convicted him after only thirty
minutes d-liberation, and he was SEN
fenced a. above. This incident suggests
the wisdom OF purchasing medicines only
OF reputable dealers whom you know.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is never sold by
peddlers, and such offering it should be at
once reported to the authorities, or to

TCharlOtte ObSeryer.1

(CharlOtte Observer
In an article which has the Atlanta
Exposition for its text, the New York
Times, "speaks thus cheerfully," it is
said, " of its provincial friends at the
South"
Southern people are beginning to
travel and become acquainted with tho
outside world; their children are
attending the leading universities, art
schools, aud other institutions of
learning, and when we contemplate
the natural resources of the country,
coupled with the enterprise and industry
of her people, and fancy the advance
ment yet to be made by still more
progressive children, her future is most
charming.
Having triumphed in practical mat
tiers, it is natural that attention should
be paid to the identifying of homes,
and it is believed that the wealthy
people of the South will avail them
selves of this opportunity to possess
some of the treasures that will be
shown in the department of fine arts
at this Exposition.
We get the foregoing delightful
little excerpt out of the Washington
Post, since we are not so fortunate as
to fall directly under the patronizing
beams of the New York Times, but
must enjoy them as they are reflected
upon US. Nor do we need to submit
any observations upon the above, the
Washington Post having done that in
a manner not to be equalled. This is
its comment upon the Times congratu-
latory eruption:
This is what we call real encour-
aging The Southern people are at
last beginning to travel. They are
timidly yenturing into the glare of
civilization and looking about them
with wide eyes of wonder and delight.
Some of them are actually sending
their children North to learn how to
read and write, and perhaps, after a
long time, to bring back to the trackless
jungles in which they were reared by
savage parents little of the sweetness
and light of Yankeedom. Her future
is Notwithstanding the South's
future. We should say so! We pre-
dict that within the next ten years
Southern men of ambition and intelli-
gence will be wearing trousers, just
like the editorial writer's Of the New
York Times, and teaching their young
to walk upright instead OF going upon
all fours. They will emerge from the
caves the canebrakes and the hollow
trees in which they now make their
homes and 60 to building primitive
houses, in some extreme cases even
rising to the dizzy altitude Of shingles
and whitewash. Clearly, the South is
advancing in the social scale. and with
the New York Times as its Ii -torian,
philosopher and guide, it may hope for
almost an ything-of course in time.
Was there ever a more delicious bit
of irony than that9
