We made an error last week when we
stated that the order refusing the pub
lie the use of the court room for meet
lngs, was passed by the commissioners.
Commissioner Nay made the motion
but failed to receive q second and no
vote was taken. Mr.. Nay asked to 60
on record as having introduced the mo-
lion which privilege was granted. The
reason We were led into the error Is ex
pIaIned from the fact thatHugh Rankin,
chairman, signed his name to the order,
and the Introductory clause did not
state that 1t failed of adoption. The
proceeding was irregular. A commits
sIOner can go on record at any time he
% desires, but the chairman, in our
opinion. should notsign motion which
did not prevail.

Every community has its portion of
men who would rather neglect their
own business and take care of other
peoples. This community has an
abundance of that kind. They would
like to know why we have taken the
county printing at rate varying from
Is to IS per cent when we were dissatis
fed last year when a Populist member
and republican member forced US
down to 40 per cent on part of it. Not
conceding that we must answer the
question, we will yield for the sake of
satisfying the fellows who have kindly
consented to be our guardians. We
have always believed that Ito the vic.
tors belong the spoils;" we have al
ways believed that justice would de-
mand that labor is entitled to fair re-
Enumeration and that the printer is en-
titled to living as much as other peo
pie. But the last year the Popullsts
controlled the board of commissioners
In this county, Mr.. Axline, the repub-
llcan editor in this city, and the recog-
nized political boss inBarber county and
Hugh Rankin, who was the only repub-
lican on the board, thought otherwise,
and they both desired TO 60 on record,
as favoring the letting of county print
ing to the lowest responsible bidder, al
though it was thefirst time in the history
of the county that the republican party
desired to 80 record itself. Accord
ingly this scheme was practically con-
CURED in by one of the Populist men,
bers of the board with the result that
the INDEX got the legal publication
work at 40 per cent of legal rates and
the job work went to the Kiowa Re-
view. This year it was decided that
ALL the work should go to one paper,
which paper should be the lowest BID
der. On these conditions we submitted
a bid and got all the work. On the legal
work We get 20 per cent of legal rates
on nearly all and Is per cent on a small
part. On the job work we get from &c
to IS per cent of current rates. Last
year we got no job work at all and the
legal work at 4O per cent. This year
We get all the job work at a better
price than we got the publications last
year and get the publications at q lower
rate. The result will be that il the
county will give us its job work instead
of Crane, Dodsworth, ct. al. we will

PROF. MOBILES ELECTION.

The trustees of the University, wbo
met in Raleigh yesterday, acted wisely n
eecting Prof. M. G. S. Noble, of vii.
mington, to the chair of pedag0gics. Ho
has been leader among teachers in tine
State since his graduation at the Univcr-
sity, and has won his present high nosi-
ton by his successful career as the head
of one of the most successful systems of
public schools in the State.
The enrolment of the students at the
University exclusive of duplicates and
teachers has reacher 501 students. This
number is 40 greater than the highest
previous number in the history of tho
University in 1S57-'5S and 100 in excess
of last year. In 1857 only 300 of the
461 students came from North Carolina
There are now at the University All
North CarOlinians out of the total en-
rollment of 501-Over 80 per cent. This
phenomenal growth places the University
the first in the Southern States in num-
Der of Academic students and the third
in total enrolment; surpassed only by
Tulane, Vanderbilt and the University of
Texas with their large Medical schools.
Including the summer school for teach
ers the University has given instructions
to CSC young men and women in the
past year. With its equipment and a.
valuable money this record of service is
unsurpassed in the United States. These
numbers, of course, are not the highest
test of success, but there can be no doubt
that the University has higher aims.
wider equipment and fuller courses than
ever before.
are in the regular courses leading to de-
grees, while the professional schools of
Law, Medicine and Pharmacy aggregate
137 men. The academic courses in
1898 were composed of o departments
with full professors in charge offering -
classes, amounting to 62 hours week.
To-day there are ID departments with
a full professor at the head of each and
there are 73 classes, being taught with
a total of $50 hours of instruction a
week. The spirit of the University is
equality, opportunity and self-help.
The University is nobly fulfilling its
mission tOits own State and must event
nally spread its influence throughout the
South despite the multiplications of State
Universities by the Southern States.

POLITICAL AND PRACTICAL RAlLRoAOlNG.

At the hearing before the Railroad
Commission yesterday, when Mr.. ST.
John, of the Seaboard Air Line, was
asked to present the names of the parties
to whom his road had issiied passes, he
said very promptly that he was ready
to furnish them. Mr.. Elliott, of the
Atlantic Coast Line, made like re-
Spouse. There was no ''higgling" or
hesitation about it, but a perfect will
lingness to give the Commission any in
formation requested.
This was in striking contrast to the
refusal of the Southern Railroad to fur
nish the same information, Col. An
drews declining on the ground that it
might tend to 'iincribinate him." The
real reason why the Southern railway
is unwilling at this juncture, when the
Democrats are sure to return to power
at the next general election, to let its
list of pass-toters be seen is that it will
show that in the campaign of 1896, that
road was run wide open in transporting
Mckinley sneakers sall over the State.
1t would @ab8 sshow that the Southern
Railway brought the big gang of Prit-
chard strikers to Raleigh during the
last Legislature TO elect that corpora
ton agent and Mckinley supporter to
the GRitetfs States Senate. There are
other like rea sons why the manipulation
of the Southern Railways North Caro-
lima politics is unwilling for the Com
mission, 70 take q lock at the books
Mr.: John ana Mr. Elliott's course
showed. That they were conducting. their
roads in the interest OF the stockholders
and the people along its line, and had
nothing to conceal. 1t is well known
that the Southern Railway is a political
concern, and was run wide open for
Mckinley, and its fight for Mckinley
aided in the election of Russell if it
did actually secure his election.
The attitude of Mr., ST. John and Mr..
Elliott is the attitude of practical rail
road men who have nothing to fear; the
attitude of Col. Andrews is that of a
political railroad manipulation.
