AN EDUCATED FOOL

AS Artz was the 1noodo of dwellings
administration, so Stryker is conceded
to be the Ephiates of Leedy's stupefac-
ton, policy passing among the hood
ling Pops as a high order of panurgy.
1t is not that tco much learning has
made this state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction mad so much as that he
seems to have degenerated from a natu-
ral-born proletaire into downright
ldiocy. The sunriseS of each succeeding
day seemingly awaken him 10 the re-
newed realiza ton that while Kansas
may be large enough for gOodly num-
Der of great men, that in fact its pral-
RE sod never quivered beneath Inc
tread of any man as it does when he
sits his official hocf down. And by the
way, this firm planting of his feet o.

His numerous official soi-disant and eX-
cathedra communications at least keep
the state printer busy, who IN turn Is
so rushed that. il is asserted, he often
gets out Of bed in the morning before
he can find time to put on his trousers
But Leedy's entire official household IL

secutiyely vetoed legislative enact |

1orpev general and countermanded The |
orders of the state administration The |
complaint is not that these various au-
thorities are at all capable or more wise
than Suyker himself, but it looks bad.
There is no doubt that the school book

unconstitutional, but it's the idea that
Striker should decided that it MUST
stand; not that these Pop text books

ker should attempt 10 officially point the

A NEWSPAPER CHARITY.

A large number of the great charities
of the cities are the direct result of met
ropolitan newspapers, either as their
work or as adoption of suggestions or
ideas advocated by them. The Chicago
News is conducting in quiet way an
enterprise TO which we desire to call at
tention. 1t is called THE Daily News
Sanitarium," and its object is 10 take
care of the mothers and babies of Chi
cago who happen TO be sick and poor
at the same time. 1t charges nothing
for its services and even provides free
transportation from certain specified
points in the city. A fresh air fund pro-
ject is connected with it, and a book
with the somewhat humorous title,
How 10 Feed a Baby for Ten Cents
a Day" is distributed for the price of
the postage, printed in English, Ger
man, Norwegian, Swedish, Hebrew,
Russian or Italian, to suit the taste. For
the seven weeks ending Saturday, July
"a, so an announcement says, the num-
Der of sick babies taken care of was

For a sample days work, the attend
ance on Thursday, July %, was: Ba-
bies, 1896; mothers, 402; children, LOO;
,4OS. The curious part of it
is that The News seems TO be doing all
this with the idea Of helping the moth
FRS and the babies, rather than with
the idea OF securing free advertising for

SCHOOL Committeeman DEPOS
ED IN PINK HILL.
(Kinston Free Press.)

The Board of Education met in speci-
al session last Monday. The principal
business seemed to be to depose some of
the school committeeman in Pink Hill
township. 1t seems that one of the COM
mitteemen, Mr.. J. II. Tyndal, Populist,
had a son he wished to give a job of
teaching at $25 d month. The other
committeeman, Mr.. Blaney Harper,
Democrat, John III. Taylor, Steven
Davis and Charlie Switzerland, Republi-
cans, favored paying only $50 as hereto
fore, and claimed that good teachers
could be employed for that sum. and
cited the fact that there were three ap-
at $50.
1t is also thought that Mr.. /. b.
Smith, from the same township, and a
member of the county board, wanted to
teach one Of the schools and wanted $25
salary, so he and Tyndal brought the
matter before the hoard Of education.
The board, without notice TO the
committeeman, summarily deposed Bla-
ney Harper and John III. Taylor, max
ing an entry on the record that they
were deposed for the good Of the cause
of education. The board elected in
their stead G. G. Tyndal and J. B.
Smith. 1t is said the reason all the 500
men were not deposed it was calculated
that those left could be managed. AZ
forwards Steven Davis resigned. The
negro member Switzerland was retained.
There is considerable indignation at
the summary dismissal of those commit
teemen and doubtless the members of
the board will hear from it in the future
1t appears that the fusionists are unable
to manage anything without fussing
and quarrelling over the "pie."

HIS WESTERN RIVAL
THE MOUNTAIN FOLKS TR0T OUT A RIVAL
OF CAPT. BASNlGAT OF DARE.
Big Tom Wilson, Who Found The Body Of Prof
Mitchell, Has Killed ia Black Bears,
Forty Deer, Etc.
Baskerville Gazette.)

Perhaps the most conspicuous figure on
the show grounds yesterday, was that of
T. D. Wilson, commonly known as "Big
Tom Wilson," Of Pensacola, Yancey
county. "Big Tom" Wilson has a repu-
tation not only in this State, but abroad,
as the finder OF the body Of Professor
Mitchell in q pool in the wilds Of Black
Mountain in the month Of June, 1856.
The body of Professor Mitchell perhaps
never would have been discovered but
for the efforts of this pioneer. Other
searching parties had given up In dis
pair. but the sturdy mountaineer, at
the peril Of his life, pursued the search
with a successful result. This discov-
cry has given Mr.. Wilson a reputation
that will last for years to come. The
name Of big Tom" is an appellation
given him by his neighbOrs to distin-
guish him from the other Wilson's living
in his vicinity. big Tom" is not only
the discoverer OF the body of Professor
Mitchell, who made the first survey Of
the noted Mitchell's peak, the highest
point east of the Rockies, but Is the
pioneer hunter in the wilds of Western
North Carolina mountains. Mr.. VIII
son informed us yesterday that during
his life Understanding over a period
of seventy-four years-he has captured
and killed ia Black bears, upwards
of forty deer, and innumerable numbers
Of wild turkey, coons, wild cats, and
other wild game that inhabit the wild
woods OF the Black Mountains. During
the past year Mr.. Wilson says that he
has caught out of the waters of the
Black Mountain over 700 trout, aud
that the streams remain yet full. A few
years ago the ladies of the city held n
fair at the Farmers warehouse, and
among the most conspicuous objects Of
attraction was an old-time log cabin,
with "Big Tom" Wilson the occupant.
Mr.. Wilson has raised family of eleven
children, all of whom are alive-liying
about in mailing distance of his an
Gent home. He has thirty-six grand
children and he himself is in good
health, having walked the distance of
thirty-six miles to see the show yester-
day. He has been a guide to travellers
and hunters for several years and is n
character well known throughout the
country.
