A CANDIDATE FOR STATES PRISON.
A dastardly attempt was made on Sum
day morning about 3 a. m. to burn the
residence of the late Mrs M. B. Giles. A
heap of hay was piled against rear
door, saturated with kerosene and set on
fire. Tom Clark, who with his aged
mother occupies the premises, was
awakened by the reflection of the fire on
his bedroom window. Rushing down
stairs he extinguished the flames. The
door and casing were nearly consumed.
1t was a narrow escape. A close watch
is kept on the house.

NEW IMPROVEMENTS

The Judd s. Dunning Bat Co. have
been Overhauling their sizing room, TAX
ing out an old wood floor and laying one
of cement four inches thick. The floor is
laid to have the water all drain toward
the center and away in the drain pipe.
There Is a continued slop of water from
the machines and kettles which keeps a
wood floor wet and unhealthy. A cement
floor will probably be a great improve
ment and more agreeable for the work
men. A great quantity of hot and cold
water is always used in the process of
sizing and blocking hats. The water
nowadays is heated with steam from
the boiler. Fifty years ago it was heat
ed with wood cut two feet long. Each
workman took his turn stocking to keep
the kettle boiling, and the water to fill
the kettles was usually brought from the
brook in pailsfull.

Ih"r" IS every reason to feel graf

larger than the first term Of last

o"t exception, beyond reproach.
There has been no serious sick

he'd better do SO than to wait

much preferable if he starts in

We hope that there may be a
number Of our boys and girls who
viii enter work for the next term.
There are thousands of them in
lac state who are kept at home
from tie hard times; but there
are hundreds who could, were
they to try hard, enter the Uni

day for them should they decide
to do this The years that would
quickly come and go, leaving
them more and more developed

be TO them a blessed past, where
as, if they continue to put the

snail be regarded as lost.

II This Bal Passes it Will be Expected
to Decrease the Appropriation for
Higher Education.
Rev. j. f. White, secretary Of the
Home Mission Board OF the Baptist
State convention, says that bill has
been prepared and will be presented to the
Legislature providing for a direct appro-
priation of 100000 to enable the public
schools to be run four months in the
year. as provided for in the Constitution.
This bill is now in the hands of the SUI
perfntendent of Public Instruction and
has his endorsement. After this appro-
priation is made it is proposed to give the
other institutions what is left.
Mr. White gives two reasons for pre-
senting this bill and urging its passage:
/. TO emphasize the fact that the State s
first care in making appropriations should
be TO educate the great masses Of its
citizens.
q That the common schools may AaYa
as fair chance as institutions OF higher
learning, now supported by the State.
Mr. White is OF the opinion that the
giving Of free scholarships at the Univer-
sity to preachers, preacherss sons, and
the sons Of teachers will be discontinued.
This, he claims, will give an increase OF
about $1,000 in the annual income TO the
University, and will enable it to get
along with that much less from the
State. He thinks this will be done by the
Legislature, beyond all doubt, and says
that the anti University men will make
fight on this point.

those remaining with the minority, after
full PREPARATION has been made and ac-
cepted by them.
The people of the State, and the rank
as1 file of the Peoples party are to be
the Judges OF the course and conduct of
the minority.
The majority have exhausted all re-
sources TO bring about harmony and
amicable adjustment of the differences
that exist, but their efforts have been in
vain.
We feel assured that those in the mi
nority who vote for Senator Pritchard,
in absolute defiance of the will of the
majority, will receive the severest con-
lcmnation at he hands of their con
stituents.
The motives that govern the action of
the minority will, we feel assured, be
deliberately and critically judged by AN
unbiased public.
We leave the verdict with the people
of the State.
