A woman who lives in one room and
''does light housekeeping has hit upon .
plan for cooking without leaving OdOrs
in her tiny domain. A strong pine pack
ing box has been firmly screwed to the
outside of the window. The top is
slanting and is covered with tar paper.
The sides are perforated by holes an
inch in diameter, to carry off odors and
steam. On the lower shelf Of this ex-
tension is the gas stove, attached to h
main pipe through a hole bored in the
window sash. This allows the window
to be close during the cooking. On the
upper shelf are the cooking utensils.

THE BIENNIAL. SCHOOL BOOK
SCANDAL.


The Legislature is in the throes of the
school book scandal.
For weeks the air. has been full OF
the clamors of rival look houses which
have made such din that the average
man has been so b fuddled that he
knows nothing about the real merits of
the argument.
In late years the sessions of the Legis-
lature in most States IS made an occa-
sion for a school book scandal which has
disguised the people There is more log
rolling, more jobbery, more lobbying
about the kind of school books to be
adopted for the publ E schools than
about anything else that comes up in a
legislature In Virginia there was
several years ago a scandal that be-
came Il tester of corruption attendant
upon school book adoption.
In the Legislatures of North Caro-
lima of 1885 and 1897 the scandal be
came disgusting, and the scandals in
the various counties that followed the
change in the legislation sickened every
friend of public education in the State.
There is now in Raleigh most power
fnl school lobby, and the list of attorneys
of the various book companies make a
list of many members of the bar.
How can the school book companies
afford to employ the ablest lawyers in
the State to devote weeks to urging their
claims? The answer is plain. The
profits on school books is enormous.
There is no other explanation of it.
The day is not far distant when sthe
school book question will be considered
by teachers and parents, free from lob
byists and attorneys who are not the
proper men to be consulted with refer
ence to school book adoption. The only
men fit to settle the question of text
books in our schools are the teachers OF
the State, and yet they have no more
voice in their selection than if they We're
not the fit men to determine what books
should be used. In fact, as the people
in every county in the State who are fla
miliar with the methods of county adop-
ton know, the smallest politician had
ten times as much to do in 1897 with Sc
lecting the school books than all the
educators of the county.

O. Wilson was the actual owner of the
Round Knob hotel. That is the only
reason why the testimony is material.
How far do you admit it to be true?
Mr.. Harris: We admit that he wrote
the letter just as MIR. Douglas said, hut
that the wording of il is not to be taken
that he was the owner Of the hotel. We
admit he wrote him the letter.
The Chairman: What explanation are
YOU going TO make now. after the admis-
sion that he wrote the letter. What eX-

THE FIGHT FOR LOWER TAXES
WON.


If the railroads were taxed upon their
property in the same proportion as the
owners of city and farm property, the
railroads would be assessed at S66,000,-
600 instead of S33000,000, and would
pay a tax of 100000 instead of $780,
coo per year. That is n fact that has
been demonstrated by the debate in the
House-a fact that many people would
not have known unless the question had
been emphasized by the spirited discus
sion in the House. For its bold stand
for reaching the untaxed railroad prop
erty, the Finance Committee will re-
ceive the thanks of all the people ii the
State, whether they prefer an increase
in the assessment of railroad property
on prefera tax on the gross incomes as
the House imposed.
The success in the House yesterday of
the advocates of increased tax is ar
event Of great significance. The battle
had waged earnestly for four days, with
most of the leaders of the body opposing
the imposition OF the tax. There were
not a few who voted for the gross in
come tax who would have preferred to
vote for the Overman amendment if it
had contained definite increased as
sessment for the year 1899 The debate
resolved itself into the proposition Of
tax on the gross incomes or no definite
increase. The House wisely chose the
former.
The duty of the Senate is plain. 1t
ought to concur in the tax as imposed
by the House or make such provision for
increasing the assessment on the prop
crty as is certain, definite and no, sub
ject to be altered. The day has passed
In North Carolina when the railroads,
with property which they swear is worth
S87, 900. 600, can pay taxes upon a valua-
ton of only S33,000,000 when all other
species of property is assessed at three
fourths of its value.

w. +. Snyder testified that Powell &
Snyder sold several bills of groceries to
be used at the hotel, and charged them
to S. Ohio Wilson and they were ship

plenty more evidence that S. Ohio vii
son held himself out as the owner OF the
hotel and in ract was its actual p!ana
ger. We make room only for the fol
lowing which his attorney, Mr.. ]. C. L.

testimony tending L. snow that s. Ohio
Wilson was virtually conducting the
hotel, and that he would never nave
been given the ''cinch" of FEEDING al
travellers if he hal not been Railroad
Commissioner. Here is the evidence taken
at the last hearing;
Mr.. Douglas: | want to state that
we expect to prove by Mr.. Exum. We
expect to prove by him that after Mr.
). o. Wilson moved to Round Knob, in
the spring of 1897, he wrote to Mr..
EXum that he was running the hotel at
Round Knob, and that as soon as he
could accumulate some money from
the operation of the hotel he would
make him a payment on account of
money that EXum had advanced there
tofOre to him.
Mr.. Harris: Anything else as to that?
Mr. Douglas: That is all the informa-
ton | had.
The Chairman; Have you ever seen
the letter?
Mr.. ouglas No sir; | was just in
formed of it, and the Governor was also
informed that Exum made this state
ment, and that he said he had the let
ter in his possession.
Mr.. Patterson. Of the COMMITTEES:
Why has he not been here?
Mr.. Douglas: 1t is impossible for me
to tell.
The Chairman: How much do you
and your client admit of that to he
rue? See now. The statement is that

could, on that account, make payment
on the debt. Now the object of that

IMPORTANT CAUCUS TONIGHT

The Legislature still has some very
important matters in hand, and it noW'
looks like it will not be possible to adj
iourn before the middle of next week.
If necessary to remain in session that
long the members of this Legislature will
not hesitate about staying in session long
enough to finish all the important mat
tcrs 'deccntly and in order.
The legislation already upon the
statute books is such as will commend
itself to the people of the State. 1t has
been radical only when it was obeyng
the mandate of the people 10 once and
forever rid the State of the evils that
have in the past four years made life in
North Carolina almost intolerable Its
radicaIism has been only such as was
necessary to make conditions of peace
and true conservatism that goes forward.
OF course mistakes will be made, but if
they are avoided during the closing days
of the session the record of this Le@is-
lature will be as near perfect rs any
made by any General Assembly that has
met in North Carolina.
The Democratic caucus last night de-
cided to nominate three candidates for
Railroad Commissioner at 4 caucus or
dered to be held tonight. This is the
most important duty that will devOive
upon the Legislature. Three able, hon
est. strong, courageous, true men ought
to be chosen. There are plenty of such
men. and the people of the State viii
pray that the caucus may have wisdom
in the selection of Commissioners. The
ideal commission will be composed of
an able and accurate lawyer, a success
full and industrious business man ac-
quaintcd with the needs of shippers. and
resentative of the great farming element
constituting the bulk of the States
population. The Commissioners ought TO
be men of known probity and courage
and juStice--men who will do right and
whose standing is such that their de-
cisions will be received and accepted
gladly by the just men of the State.
The caucus did well last night to de-
termine to elect an Insurance Commits
sioner. The new insurance law imposes
such additional taxes that this depart
ment will not be a burden on the people.
Insurance is in its infancy i'll North
Carolina. An Insurance Department
will save insurers thousands of dollars,
and be of great value to the State. We
have no doubt that Il capable man,
versed in insurance knowledge, will be
chosen.
