Review of Reviews.

The editor of the Reuie,r of Revieus, in
his record Of "The Progress OF the World
for the July number, comments on many
matters of national and international
moment-the recent cabinet changes fol-
lowing Secretary Gresham's death, the
peculiar prominence of Mr.. Carlisle in the
leadership OF his party, the present stat
us OF the silver question in politics, the
duty of the United States toward Spain
aud Cuba, the progress of American uni
versities, Russia's relations with Japan
and China, the Prospects OF Pacific cable
construction, the opening of the Kiel
Canal, the progress OF amateur sports in
England and elsewhere, the recent italian
elections, the fall of Count Kalnoky. anti
Semitism jim Vienna, British politics, the
future of Chitral, the Armenian question
and various other timely topics. This
department of the Revieu is illustrated by
score or more of portraits of the men
and women Of the day, together with
maps and views.
The same number in an article on
"Mexico as the Cradle of Mans Primitive
traditions publishes some of the results
OF DR.. Augustus le Plongeon's remarka-

publishes DR.. lie Plongeon's speculations
for what they are worth, but his labori-

readers with the wonderful remains OF

A NOVEL BEOUEST.

A man recently died in Virginia
who made novel bequest to the town
in which he lived. That he was a
patriot, who believes the Fourth of
July should be observed for the
principles which it instlls, is evident
from clause in his will. The Orange
ObserUer states the case. 1t says:
The estate of the late Hon. Lewis
Mckenzie is valued at $4,000. In
his will, which has been admitted to
probate in the clerks office of the
corporation court Of Alexandria, he
bequeaths $500 to the city, with the
request that the Mayor and city
council invest the money and use the
interest therefrom by employing a
drummer and fifer to 60 through the
streets on the Fourth of July, early in
the morning, that Independence Day
may always be remembered by an
observance that invariably marked it
in that town in his boyhood days.

THE TAN on DRUGGISTS.

Righteous Indignation has been
stirred up by certain features of the
new revenue act, that part of it impos.
ing purchase tax on druggists espe-
cially. This matter was discussed a,
the meeting OF the State Pharmaceutical
Association and a committee was
appointed TO investigate the Justice
ard legality of the act, The Burlington
Macs commenting on the subject says
Another abominable tax, this time
on druggists, is now agtating the trade
and county officials, which is a privi-
lege tax of 4 per cent. on all purchases
of drugs, seeds, &c. No tax that has
come to light is more grinding than
this one. The bare idea Of a man
doing as necessary a business as a
druggist having to pay tax of i per
cent. on all his purchases,
1t is preposterous
Four dollars on every hundred
dollars worth OF goods.
Yet that is the law, as enacted by
the last Legislature.

WHAT OF THE SOUTH?
Frederick B. Gordon thus writes in the

GTcUefiCk ID. bOIuOll ttluo "IittS III tilc
Baltimore .Sontiern States magazine:
The eyes of the investment world
are to day turned more inquiringly
than ever before on the South, mate
rally the richest section Of North
America. With the markets of Chris
tendon opened and with the competi
ton Of all countries to meet, the
manufacturers Of the United States
plainly see that good dividends now
depend on the close proximity of the
factory to the raw material and cheap
power. Furniture factories seek the
forests; flour mills travel Westward
with the wheat fields metals will be
worked near the mines; and those
who spin cotton will inevitably spin it
where it grows.
SO the South rich in cotton, coal,
wood and iron, with equable climate
and the minimum of living expense,
becomes the cynosure of the manufac-
turer and the capitalist.
TO the Northern man, however, an
admission of the South's material
advantages in one thing the question
of investment or residence there is
quite another. The latter proposition
involves SO much relating to his
comforts, his health, and to many
other points of peculiar and important
consideration, that it is the writer's
object to briefly touch on some phases
of Southern experience and to Incl
dentally enlighten any inquirer who
may be looking Southwark.

THE SOUTH.
This Richly Endowed Lan.l Depends
Too Much On Foreign Markets.

Too Much On Foreign Markets.
That We of the South are not self
reliant, self-dependent enough admits
Of no argument. We depend toe
much upon the North and West fo1
the very things we can and should
produce at home. Read these startling
figures and then reflect little Having
done this let US ask ourselves if there
is any good reason why this money
or larger portion of it at least, should
not be kept at home. A recent writer
Mr.. J. ]. Abercrom bic, says on this
subject:
Men of the South, present you a
picture to-day for your serious contem
platlon and earnest thought. Wha,
are God given advantages OF climate
and soil worth to you if they are SO
used as to impoverish their possessors
and enrich those who live outside its
borders? The South sent to the West
last year 100000 for food supplies.
Appalling That sum invested in
cotton factories and certain small
industries would make this whole land
glow with new life and bring to this
people princely revenue. TO
reviviiy your homes and section you
need only employ the means at hand
that are invaluable and indestruclible.
You hold the monopoly in cotton.
The variety and value of your soil
products are almost infinite. Your
forests and minerals are simply bound
less. With 2o,ooo,ooo population last
year you raised 435,ooo,ooo bushels
OF corn. Your capacity is 100, 900, 900
bushels. The production of that bulk
OF corn would stop the enormous flow
of money from here to the Northwest.
The SIoo, 100000 sent from here
retained among you would enable you
to manufacture millions of dollars
worth of cotton and give employment
to thousands Of your population. You
may not utilize your advantages but
your descendants will. They will not
slumber forever as a blank in nature
to you. Some unborn genius will
awaken the South from her lethargy
and from every hill top and valley,
from every mountain side and plain,
and from every sea and flowing stream
will come boundless wealth.

COUNTY'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS s
A Good Showing for Our Educational
Interests as Exhibited by Superin-
tendent CrOcker.

AHlSi SSaS as LAhUitCu ny SupcTlu-
tendent Croker.
In the Public School edition of the
Ne~s and Observer, Capt. L. R. Crocker
who has for the past seven years been
County Superintendent of Public
Schools and who now holds the office
of County Examiner by appointment
| of Superior Court Clerk D. H. Gill
writes as follows of our public school
| interests:
After having charge of the Public
School interest of the county for the
last seven years, it gives me pleasure
in the first place to state that l Lave a
corps of teachers 1 feel confident will
compare favorably with any county in
the State, most of whom in the white
schools are ladies, having 81 schools,
and only two being taught by male
teachers. l have issued to white
teachers during this school year closing,
ls first and 2 second grade certificates.
There is no third grade certificate in
the county. There is not an uncom-
Portable or bad looking school room in
the county. Most of them are framed
buildings, ranging from 16x16 to 2Ox24
feet, and some larger, ceiled or
plastered, with good home made desks,
arranged for two pupils to each desk,
good stoves, with pipes through roof
of building. Every school furnished
with complete school chart, by the
use of which large number of both
white and colored teachers agree that
their work is very greatly facilitated.
The average attendance for the last
school year for white schools was 20
1927; colored, "a 24-25. The average
term taught: White schools, I6 2-23
weeks colored, 10 Is weeks. Average
pay of white teachers, $26 l-2; colored.
s25 per month.
We apportioned this year eight thou
sand dollars, dividing the amount about
equally between the two races. I
think our teachers are taking more
interest in their work now than ever
before, in inforcing discipline from a
moral standpoint, in attention to the
general appearance of their school
rooms, both inside and out, in recon-
mending and aiding their pupils to
obtain good books to read. A large
number of the teachers of the county
are subscribers to some good school
journal, are rapidly departing from the
old time custom of seated position in
the room, asking from days end to
days end the questions in the school
book, and requiring the printed answers
to be given; for an active, wide-awake,
energetic management, never losing
an opportunity to teach a good moral
lesson from what they read and hear.
AS to our colored schools, feel
confident no county in the State can
show a better record for the last seven
years, both as to qualification and
moral standing. During this school
year there has been issued to colored
teachers in the county 10 first and IL
second grade certificates. The school
houses and other things are about the
same as the whites. A large number
of these schools have public entertain
ments at the close of the year, with
increasing interest on the part of the
patrons of schools.

financial condition of Mexico:
In all Candor, after some examina-

must confess ourselves unable to see
that Mexico is placed at any serious
disadvantage by her continued adher-
ence to the single standard. 1t is true
that the extremely high price of gold,
rs measured in standard Mexican
silver money, adds much to the
burdens of the interest upon the
foreign debt but Mexico is coming

North CAROLINA has attractactions
for the immigrant and investor that
are unequalled. If her citizens would
all work together and endeavor to let
the world know what we have, there
would be 4 marvellous increase in her
population in the next few years. We
can do this in many ways, by letter
writing, newspaper advertising, the
sending out of descriptive literature in
various forms, &c. But in no way
more efectually perhaps than by
practical illustration, making a full
and comprehensive exhibit of our
industries and resources at the Atlanta
Exposition The railroads will aid in
doing this. Let the people cooperate
with them and North Carolina will
be so we'll represented by her products
and materials that we will all have
cause to be proud of it.
