to Mr.. J. D. Fulmer. decided Republi-
can in politics, but who wisely rose above
party in the school appointments, and if
his counsels had been needed the place
of supervisor, which was partisan APP
pointment, would not have fallen to one
who was not legally qualified.
Then, it is contended by the noes"
that it is unwise and unkind to impose
an additional tax upon an overburdened
people, at a time when failure to pay
the tax promptly may put a man in Jail,
or pay $500, which he surely will not
have.
Furthermore. it is contended that the
provisions of the act will deprive spars-
ly populated districts of all school OPP
portunities by not being able to furnish
the requisite number of pupils to entitle
them to a district school. These, with
some others, are the prominent conten-
tons of the "noes."
The "ayes" on the other hand contend
that as education is the foundation stone
of popular institutions, that the advance
ment of educati is of paramount i'm
portance to all others. This is a broad
base to stand upon, and a part of the
proposition is unquestionably true. An
illiterate people are unsafe depOsitaries
of the popular franchise. Illiterate legis-
lators are unfit custodians of the public
welfare and government and of this last
proposition there is no more familiar or
opposite illustration than the last Legis-
lature of North Carolina, whose ignOr-
ance was only equalled by their cOrrup-
ton.
But. after all, the strongest conten-
personel of the 'ayes." When such men
as julie Carr, Josephus Daniels, G. D..
McIver, w. d. Pruden and the like Of
tenn. range themselves among the advo-
Gates of the school law. to be voted for
in August, we would like to pause and
study and count twenty wipe our glasses
before we part company with them.
McIver is one of the brainiest men in
the State, firm, manly, patriotic, ment-
ally and physically stalwart. Were he
a politician, we would descry his shadow
as the coming great leader and Moses of
the Democratic party to bury the Egyp-
tians in the depths of the Red Sea. Jo-
sephus Daniels is the ablest and readiest
man in North Carolina. julie Carr is
one of our best citizens, whom wealth
has not spoiled. and w. D. Pruden is a
square, level-headed, all-round man and
one of the best informed and most Gull
tured men the State. Patriots all and
Democrats. Can we afford to
part company with such men? We reck-
on not, we 'spose we can't.

Talk About Water.

Nature has supplied us with a remedy
or every disease. Many of the RENE
lies are found in roots, herbs and barks,
and to effect cures the medicinal prop
critics must be extracted and put into
concentrated form, and then properly
compounded.
Nature has also placed some of the
very best medicines in water, common
ly known as mineral water" One of
the best of these is the famous OTTER
BURN LITHIA WvTER. For indigestion,
kidney, bladder and diseases of like ma
ture there is nothing better than Otter
burn Lithla. And the price is moderate.
I handle it in large quantities, and am
the sole dealer in Raleigh. Bring your
own containers and / will furnish the
water at 90 cents for half gallon, 30
cents per gallon, or 30 cents in s gallon
lots. Extra charge if I furnish con
tanners. By the glass at my soda foun-
tain, carbonated, 5 cents.

Free Cure For Men.
A. MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims 70 be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

Claims 10 be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached 10 anything that is offered free
Int sometimes n man so overtows with
generosity that he cannot rest until ms
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
ME that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them OF any
form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment 1t
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which Will
restore them to health, strength and
yigor, without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring 10 men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to H. c. Odds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds that he may know how you came to
write him.

and Cons. of the School Tax.
elizabeth City Economist)
The school election in August, which
has been ordered by the last Legislature,
imposing an additional tax of not less
than ten cents on the 500 assessment
of property and thirty cents on the poll,
is now agitating the public mind ofthe
people of North Carolina, and the peo-
pie are divided in sentiment as to the
wisdom of the act, both sides claiming
with much vehemence that the right Of
the question is with them, and both sides
urging their contention not unmixed with
acrimony.
The anti-school tax advocates contend
that the act calling the election is uncon-
stitutional, and are sustained in that
opinion by some of the ablest lawyers in
the State. If that opinion be correct,
then the $4,000 which it will cost to
hold the election is thrown away, and
all the proceedings consequent upon the
election are null and void. The official
legal adviser of the State government
pronounces the act constitutional, but
the Attorney General of the State is
more of politician than lawyer, and
his being a Republican partisan is, to our
mind, prima facie evidence of incom-
potency in North Carolina, however it
may be elsewhere.
| 1t is also contended that the act is part
of the machinery for the manufacture
of places for active office holders
Whether so intended or not, it has, in
some of the counties of North Carolina
been utilized for the benefit of office
mongers. So far as we are informed, the
appointments for Pasquotank county
arising under the school law have beer
singularly free from partisanry, thanks

LIszt to Won Bulow,s nIother.

Hans is evidently gifted with q mu-
steal organization of the rarest kind.
His executive talent will easily place
him in the front rank of the greatest
pianists, and his essays ut composition
denote quito exceptional qualities of
imagination, of individuality and of
conception. Besides, Hans has taken an
antipathy to every career which would
sever him from art. Permit me, then,
to confide TO your motherly love the
happy solution of the noble struggle be-
tween his natural vocation aud that
destined for him, however bright and
aliuring it might be, and in view of the
sentiments which dictate this letter pray
pardon the intercession have ventured
to make to you today. Early Core
spondence of Hans Van Bulow."
