day.

State Treasurer is shown to be S93,-

The statement of the educational
fund shows an excess of disbursements
over receipts of $2,O41.9S. This condi-
tion was created by the State Board
of Education in apportiom.ng to the
schools the uninvested assets Of the
fund. An apportionment Of the nine
cents per capita was thought desirable
and decided upon, and to realize II sum
sufficient to effect such an appOrt:on-
ment. it was necessary to anticipate Il
nominal amount of the receipts from
the interest on the invested assets of
the fund which receipts, it was judged
would be realized before the return OF
all the warrants, distributing the
amount apportioned, TO the Treasury
Department for payment.

VALUE or DOUBLE CROPS.

DIR. ]. b. Kilebrcw writes in April
Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore:
But the advantages of the South do
not consist altogether in its capacity for
supplying green food, but also in the
fact that several crops of forage may be
grown the same season upon the same
land. Mention has just been made of
the fact that a crop of crab grass sue
ceeds a crop of oats. This crab grass
frequently yields as much forage as the
preceding Oat crops, sometimes even
more. Instances are given where five
tons of dry corn fadder have been
grown on Il single acre, and even a lar
ger tonnage of sorghum. Two crops OF
corn fodder may be grown on the same
lands: two crops of millet; two of cow
peas; two or three of alfalfa; two crops
of several kinds of roots, and two crops
of johnson grass may also be produced.
While the latter is regarded as an in
veterate nuisance upon all tllable
farms. it certainly supplies large guam
tity of nutritious forage. II is difficult
to eradicate, because it has large feshy
roots that send UP shoots from every
joint.

Auditor Hal Ayers Ideas Of
Cooperation
With THE DEMOCRATS
THE POFUIISTS WILL GIVE UP
THE JUDGES.
THEY WANT THEIR FIVE CONGRESSMAN
In County Matters the Two Parhies Will Aid
Each Other Wherever il is Found
Practicable So to Do.

State Auditor Hal W Aver, who is
also eX-Statc chairman of the Populist
party. yesterday gave out the following
interview touching the proposed co-ope-
ration of Democrats and Populists in the
next campaign.
1t is interesting as giving the basis,
from Populist standpoint, on which
cooperation of the silver forces of North
Carolina can be brought together:

complishment of any important reforms

year The fruition of the fight to be
made by such united forces. if success
full. cannot be realized until these forces
can elect Il President of the United
States: and since this cannot be at
tempted until 1900. it is clear that in
case of combination at all, honesty and
sincerity demand an arrangement for
union and cohesion that shall hold good
through the campaign Of that year. y
union on any other basis cannot and
should not command the confidence of
the people.
Now, when it comes to arranging for
union or cooperation, a close similarity
or platforms on the part of any two
forces will satisfy all reasonable de-
mands rs to the matter of declarations
and demands for measures. But an ac-
tual, practical cooperation of two diff
fervnt forces goes beyond an agreement
on essentials in platforms. 1t involves
recognition of one by the other. and
requires close combination of effort

tween the Populists and some other par
ty, let the Populists say to such party,
YOU make nominations for these Judge
ships. We, the Populists, will not inter-
fere, but will pledge our best efforts to
secure the election of your nominees.
But this shall be accompanied by an
agreement on the part of the other party
that they shall not interfere with the
nominees of Populists for such Offices
as may be held by Populists in 1900 As
to offices held by another party in that
year, such other party may make nomi-
nations, and the best efforts of Poplists
will be pledged to secure the election of
such nominees.
I'm matters Congressional, any party
to Il cooperation with Populists should
agree to Populst nominations of Con
gressional candidates in all districts now
represented by Populists, and to support
the Populist nominees. The Populists
should be willing for the other party to
nominate candidates i'll all other Con
gressional districts, and to pledge their
best efforts to secure their election. 1t
seems that such Il plan aG this would
have a tendency to eliminate friction and
establish evidence of mutual confidence.
1t would be policy on the part of the
Populists that would Oblge them to help
another party achieve. something they
do not now have. and at the same time
would put the Populists in the attitude
of simply demanding n retention of what
they now possess, and noting more. If

THE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

The Peace Commission has taken up
and settled all the paragraphs of the pro-
toool except that which relates to the
Philippines. The Spaniards have relin-
quished sovereignty of Porto Rico and
Cuba in the West Indies, and Guam in
the Laorones. The question of the future
Of the PHILIPPINES will be taken up next
week. What our demands will be is not
known outside Of the Peace Commission
and the Administration. Whatever they
are in the end they will be conceded, be-
cause there is nothing else for the Span
iards to do, but long debate IL proba-
bls All the conclusions that this Com
nilsson come to are subject to rejection
or revision by the Senate, and peace
will not have been finally concluded un-
til tho Senate has ratified the treaty
which the Commission draws up. Wheth-
er treaty which annexes the Philippines
to this country can secure the vote Of
two-thirds of the Senators is open to
grave doubt. 1t must be remem bered that
the same Senate which refused to ratify
the treaty annexing the Sand witch Is
lands will pass upon the Philippine
question. The same objections lie to the
annexing Of the Inter that pertained to
the former, only they are much intensi-
fed. On the other hand, there are some
arguments that could be offered for the
annexation Of the Sandwich Islands that
are not available in the Case of the Phil
ippines. There are no Americans in the
latter, benoe there are no American inter
ests thore today that demand protection.
No straegioal reason can be urged in
favor Of Philippine annexation. Nobody
can claim that the Philippine Islands are
needed for the defence of the Pacific
coast, There was the sentimental consid-
