BLlGHTS WHAT 1T TOUCHES.

The Newbern Journal announces that
Mr.. /. \. Green has resigned as a
member Of the school committee Of that
city. He is public-spirited citizen
who tried under the new regime to help
the schools. The removal of Miss Alb
bott by Hancock and his negro bench
men, and the annoyances connected with
serving with men of such low ideas,
made il impossible for Mr.. Green to
elevate and increase the efficiency of the
schools.
There lis no interest which Radicalism
touches that it does not blight The
public schools have been set back ten
years i'm Eastern North Carolina by
putting the white schools under the con-
troll of ignorant negro politicians.

The offce-holding editors of the eau
casian and Progressive Farmer say they
prefer paper that is a ''clear and fear
less denfender of monopoly" to the News
and Observer. Or course. Those pie
eaters who apologize for the base CON
duct OF their fellow pie-eaters hate the
News and Observer because it exposes
the gang. Happily the people are "on-
to- the little game of the pie-eaters who
talk for silver and work to put gold
bugs in office.

acres, showing a production of 40 of Il
bale to The acre. In the estimate only
245,177 bales are put down as purchased

manufacture as many bales ofcotton as
we make.

There is a great clamOr raised be-
cause railroad commissioners and others
seek to ascertain the salaries of high Of
ficiaIs in semi-public corporations. This
clamor would he justified if the inquiry
should be made Of private corporations.
1t is proper in cases where the State
has the power to regulate the corpora
tions. such as railroads and insurance
companies. Referring to the demand
made by the Kansas insurance commits
sioners of outside companies for infOr-
nation respecting the salary paid to the
chief officials, the Springfield Republic
can says that if policy holders had any
kind of voice i'm or control over the man
agement of their companies, we venture
to- say that the $4,000, $4,000 and
100000 salaries in the business would
disappear in twinkling."

A correspondent of the Franklin Times
says the school committee of Gold Mine
township is composed of four Populists
and one Fusionist, ''men who are not
competent by any means 1t says
the teachers care imported from another
township and in several instances, in an
adjoining township they are brought
from another county" That's the way
1.-THE public schools were taken out of
politics" The truth rs that the public
schools in many parts of Eastern North
Carolina have been put in the hands Cf
negroes and ether incompetent spolls-
men. and brought by them to Il very low
depth. The first help for such schools
is TO kick out the gang now trading
in Tie ciliidrens education and put in
good citizens.

WILL THEY PAY FOR THEIR RIDE?

jeremiah Jenkins bewails the condition
of the Alliance and wants reorganiza-
ton. In recent issue of the Progress
sive Farmer he pleads for help and sug-
gests ''that the many farmers and Alli-
ance brethren who SO successfully farm
ed the. Alliance for the fieshpots for
themselves. should consider that but
for the Alliances aid they never would
have had the pleasure and distinction
of eating government pie and living off
the fat of the land, should come to our
aid and help restore the organization
to it's former size and efficiency"
jeremiah does not stop with hints
and suggestions. He is ''a-naming the
names. and calls the ofice-holders out
in this manner:
Come, Messrs Butler, Worth.
Aver Mewborne, Thompson-and a lot
of other small fry-come, gentlemen,
chip in say Il three months salary
each, to help defray expenses to
keep capable lecturers i'll the field.
You have picked the flesh off the Al
lance until there is nothing left but
the naked skeleton. You have been
largely the beneficiaries of the past
Alliance enterprise and rode her al
most to death. Now, show your APP
probation and gratitude. Come and
help restore her to yigor and actiyi-
ity. You are able to do it now"
We pause TO learn what reply is made
10 this invitation. We are panied to OBJ
serve that aIeremiah Jenkins, in calling
over th5se Who ought to respond, fails
10 appreciate the Importance Of Editor
Ramsey and Business Manager Den
mark ininaking his call, and refers to
them in file catalogue of "a lot of other
small fry."~rIf he had digniied them
by putting them among the big bugs,
they might have come down" with
three months of their salary. which
would have been $50. If they respond
to Jeremiah's suggestion, Butler, Strowd,
Thompson, Skinner, Shuford and Mar
tin will at once send q check for ST.,
219.50 each for keeping lecturers in the
field" Then Worth, Mewborne, Aver
and "a lot of other small fry" would
chip in for smaller amounts, and fund
of one hundred thousand dollars would lie
easily raised from those who ''haye been
largely the benefciaries of the past ALE
ance enterprise and rode her almost to
DEATH having picked the flesh off the
Alliance until there is nothing left but
the naked skeleton jeremiah thinks
he has a right to call on these because
they 'farnled the Alliance for the flesh
pots for themselves and because also,
as everybody knows, ''they never would
have had the pleasure and distinction of
eating government pie and living off
the fat of the land" but for the afore-
said farming"
We await the responses to Jeremiahs
appeal with interest. The men he calls
upon are liable to do it now" for they
are getting big salaries, much more
than they could earn in private life.
VIII they surrender three months sala-
ry? Not much, but they will favor an
other per capita assessment of the men,
hers to revive our mobile order" so that
they can trade it with the negroes 70
keep in office.

The Only Time There Was.

The necessity that there shall be
only one man who "has the say" in q
military command is thoroughly recog-
nized in the United States army. A
story is told of General Shafter which
illustrates the punctilio of the regulars
in this regard.
At certain frontier post at which
Shafter, who then held an inferior rank
was commander many years ago, dis
cussion arose among several officers as
to the exact time of day. A captain
with his watch in his hand, said:
at is now exactly three O'clock"
ooh, mol" said lieutenant. Shy
my time it's eight minutes past three
A third young officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. ~ know my time is
exactly right" he said, land my watch
says two minutes past three"
AT this juncture Major Shafter look
ed at his silver watch.
II don't know what your watches
say" he remarked" but wish you to
understand that in this command it is
five minutes past three"
Then the young officers remembered
that the authority of the commanding
officer extended even to the time OF
day.-Youth's Companion.
