School Libraries.

Prof. Il. b. Teitrick, our worthy
county superintendent. is making an
effort to have libraries opened in all the
schools of the county, and the effort Is
meeting with considerable success. Re-
Gently Prof. Teitrick sent circular
letter to all the teachers In the county
containing some wise pointers for the
good OF the schools, and in that letter
he said the following concerning
libraries:
"A teacher can do no more val
liable work in school than to develop in
his pupils love for good reading.
Give man a taste for reading, and
the means OF gratifying it. and you
place him in contact with the best So
ciety in every period of history, with
the wisest, the wittiest, the tenderest,
the bravest, and the purest characters
who have adorned humanity What
we read determines the quality OF mind
and tendency Of character "A library
is not a luxury, but one Of the necessi-
ties Of life.' During this year desire
that library be established in every
school In the county. Your first effort
perhaps should be to convince your pu-
pills and patrons OF the necessity Of a
school library. The plan for securing
funds is left entirely at your discretion.
Some teachers and pupils have raised
money by entertainments, subscriptions,
festivals, etc."

CHILDREN OF TaE COTTON
MILLS.

Temper it as we may the cotton mill
problem, as it relates to children, is q
dark and dreadful one. o. course 1t
makes a great diff 3rencs to the Chill
dren as to who manages the mill. we
have had considerable observation
With a class Of manufacturers and man

children we're driven like chattel slaves
from morning till night. Wearied On
Saturday night by the week OF drudg
cry, they slept the morning hours OF
Sunday away, and roamed through
the woods in the afternoon with evil
associates and thus Though the only
time they could stop to thinknot a ray
of hope beamed upon their lives. And
they lived and grew in this atmosphere
untouched by n gentle or a refining IN
huencs. This ia the worst side OF the
picture. to b9 sure. Thank the Lord
most Of our cotton mill men have
kinder and batter hearts than these.
But take the best view possible OF the
situation and still the factory children
live sunless lives, G)d did not intend
that little children should earn their
bread. It is a reversal OF His laws to
put them at hard and continuous labor,
and rob them Of the time they should
romp and play, and above all OF the
precious hours they should be IN
school. You may say they would not
be in school il they we're not IN the
factory, but that is not the point at

OUR SUPREME COURT AND ITS
DaFAMERS,
The Biblical Rerder says:

The Biblical Rsrder says:
There has been en- IF )rt to create a
sensation about the decisions OF the
Supreme Court OF North Carolina IN
the case o. Abbott against B 5ddiug6eld
for the Office of abroad Commissioner,
and other sinilar cases. The Court
has decided, folio owing the Hoke Hen
derson precedent, against the appoin
tee Of the last legislature ia every in.
stance. The decision may be wrong,
but it is supported by the weight Of
half a century of opinion in our Su
preme Court; all parties have profted
By it; and, therefore, it is not becom
ing to charge the present judges with
partisanship, the evidence against
them being no stronger than that
against their predecessors. A dissent
ing opinion would be more open to
such criticism. but it is not becoming
to make even this"
The Recorder might have added that
when the present Supreme Court, bas
ing its action on the Hoke va. Hender-
son decision, two years ago decided a
number Of Chce contest cases against
the appointees Of the legislature of
1897, the decisions were applauded by
the very same partisan papers that are
now abusing the Supreme Court be
cause it respects tbs Hoke Henderson
principle. Tne Safe would indeed
have just cause fer shame if it's su-
preme Court followed the example of
these narrow p%artisans and sustained
Hoke Henderson when it suited a Ger
tain party and rejected it when it be-
came obj actioaable to that party. Per
haps a score OF newspapers that praised
the Supreme Court for adopting the
Hoke vs. Henderson principle in 1897
have accused the Supreme Court
Judges OF b ling inf fenced oy partisan
and unworthy m olives because they

And soma are actually Questioning

For DISTANCE, should a legislature de

one should qlestion the constitutional
lty OF the measure. The writer ia not
