am glad to see a general awakening
in free education in North Carolina
and hope to see the agitation kept up
until every child in the State shall
have placed in his reach the opportu-
nifty of an education.
While the taxpayers are willing to
pay taxes for this purpose, they find
another evil confronting them in
the form of
SCHOOL BOOKS
published by non-residents, sold at: a
price that often prohibits the parents
from sending their children to the
public schools because they cannot buy
the necessary books to conform to the
regulations.
WHAT GOOD ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
when their benefits cannot be taken
advantage of on account of inability to
secure the necessary books?
1t is easy enough to point out evils,
but quite another thing to point out
remedy. 1t is the purpose of this and
future articles to show that the State
has it in its power to largely remedy
this evil.
STATE TEXT BOOKS PUBLISHED AND
SOLD BY THE STATE AT COST
is the remedy as the experience of
States following this system has fully
demonstrated. Why should our peo-
pie depend on others to supply an ar
ticle Of necessity to our people when

Secretary benson Made His Annual Re-
The State Board of Charities met in
Raleigh last Friday evening. The an
nual report of the secretary, Capt. {. 3.
benson, which was very full and COM
prehensive was submitted.
The report gives the improvements
and additions to the various state in
situations during the year.
It shows the doubling of the capac-
ity of the insane asylums since 1889.
There were 96 cures at Ralelgn ana 6o
per cent. of cures upon the NUMBER ad-
mitted: SIS recoveries at Morganton
and Il per cent. Of cures upon the
number admitted. At Goldsboro there
were 50 cures and the percentage OF
recovery was about 30 upon the nun
her admitted. The death rate was UNI
der3 per cent. at MOrganton, 9per
cent. at Raleigh and over at Goldsboro.
OF the homes in the counties 81 were
reported as good, 8 bad and the re-
mainder as Indifferent. Eight coun-
ties are without homes. or the Jalls
56 are good, Is bad and the remainder
indifferent. The new school for the

modates 1S5. In the institution at

This is a Strange Question to Be Asked
of Populists-But 1t is Before You.
Enr The Caucasian.I
MooRKsv1LEE. n. c., Dec. 10, '96.-Is
the Populist party tie true silver par
ty? 1t is up to date. Is there danger
of its being supplanteu?
The Democratic party is trying to
supplant it. Senator Harris, of Ten
nessee, and other Democratic silver
leaders are determined to draw the
line on all goldbug Democrats. They
say that Senators Hill, Palmer, Villas
and other Democrats in Congress
snail not be admitted to the Demo-
cratic caucus. This caucus is for the
purpose of showing that the Demo-
cratic party is true silver party.
Now, if the Peoples Party should in
any wise equivocate on the money
question it will certainly give the
Democratic party the right Of way as
silver party. If the Peoples Party
in this State should elect Mr.. Pritch-
ard to the Senate, no matter what he
promises, the Democratic party will
be the gamer by it. Why so: Be-
cause Mr.. Pritchard is not a friend of
silver. The only test vote on silver in
the last Congress was when the Ding
ley tariff bill was up for discussion
and free silver bill was coupled with
it by Mr.. Teller and others. Mr.
Pritchard failed to vote for the free
silver amendment. Hence Populists
cannot support him. It is impossible
and any Populist who does SO or any
leader who advises it is ruined mar
politically.

with their views and feelings on thi!
question of voting for any other thar

know of q single individual amon1
them who is not dead against it.
The very life of the party or an,
leader in it depends on keeping strict
ly in the middle of the road" on thiI
money question, and if the above il
not strictly adhered to, the Populis
party in North Carolina might as vel
wind up its affairs and 20 out of bust

DiSEURSEME NTS.

The report says that the warrants
drawn by the Auditor on the Treasurer
during the years of 1895 and 1896 were
in accordance with the law in such
cases made and provided, and that the
amount shown to be in the Treasury
by the books November So, 1885, was
verified by actual count. 1t also adds
that the books in the offices of the
State Treasurer and the State Auditor
were found to be neatly and accurately
kept.
BY reference tc the report of the
committee to the General Assembly of
1895, it will be seen that the aggregate
balance of both funds in the Treasury
on November 80, 1894, was $3l1.327. 10.
According to the above tables from
the report this year the aggregate bal
ance of both funds on November 80,
1896, amounts to $123, Alb, showing a
difference against the last two fiscal
years of $lS7 ,905 Il.
The aggregate receipts for the past
two fiscal years to the public fund, as
shown by the above report, amount to
8, 375, 324.67; the disbursement for the
last two fiscal years amount to 81 $685.

1t says the first day of the present

Sheriffs and tax collectors, the letter
goes on to say, can be of service to
their respective counties, and save
their circulating medium to that ex-
tent in their communities by cashing,
as far as possible, out of. tax funds in
hand, all pension warrants These
warrants, Mr.. Worth says, are just as
good as cash in making settlement
with the State Treasurer, when they
are countersigned by the sheriff pre-
senting them.
