Have Increased Expenses.

Durham Record.
In his speech at the court house
last week, Hon. G. b. Aycock gave
some interesting and impressive
figures regarding the expense OF
Democratic government as compared
with fusion rule. The fusion legisla.
tors we're lected under the pledge to
''re1uce State expenses to the basis
OF 3 cent cotton and 40 cent wheat +"
Many OF the men who were thus cleo
ted were hone st and sincere and III
tended to carry out their pledges.
The result, however, shows that no
called extravngance 10y Democrats
was really careful economy. During
the three years, 1892, '93, '94, under
Democratic rule. the State govern
ment cost $3,572 POI % During
the next three years, under RtpublI
can POpulist rue, the expenses were
just S., 1853, 950.21. The difference
IN favor OF the Democrats WAS about
1925 900 annually.

The Separate Coach Law.

The separate coach law has gone
into effect in South Carolina almost
without being noticed. The railroads
had their coaches separated in many
instances, so that the travelling public
could get accustomed to the new order
of things. The first class coach in
most instances is separated by di-
vision, which is permissible under
the terms of the law, as a separation
of the races seems to have been the
main object of those who favored the
act. 1t is not known how the law will
be received and it will take some lit
tie time before the travelling public
will be made to enforce the law. Up
to this time, although there have been
divisions in the. cars, great many
whites have sat in the portion as
signed to the colored people, and vice

Some Facts for All Cities.

Baltimore American.
Were any argument needed to con
vince the people of the value of pure
water and the danger OF usilg an
impure article, it could certainly be
found in the experiences of the Amer
lean soldiers during the war with
Spain. 1t is safe to state that at
least one-half of all the sickness
among them was due to the lack OF
good water and the use of bad. This
was true on the transports that
carried the soldiers to Cuba, and it
was true on the transports that
brought them back. 1t was true in
the camp before Santiago, and just
as true at the camp at Tampa. In
fact, there was hardly a single camp
occupied by our soldiers which had a
bountiful supply of pure water. The
warm climate and the poor food had,
of course, something to do with put
ting SO many on the sick list, but
bad water did more than any other
one cause, probably more than all
| the other causes combined.
in view of these facts, is it any
| wonder that the people of Baltimore
| demand that their water supply be
kept pure, clean and uncontami-
nato6?
