new era for the public school system.
1t encourages every friend Of the public
schools to hope that ten years hence we
will reach the constitutional requirement
Of four months school in every dis
trict. 1t shows, to my mind, that the
people are beginning TO realize that the
building up of a public school system
cannot be accomplished successfully i'm
North Carolina by the policy of building
from the top downward, but must be ac-
complished from the bottom upwards.
The appropriation of 100000 is any
thing else but an extravaganza. 1t was
economy, economy according to the CON
stitution of the State. economy from cv-
cry patriotic point of view. | know
that that action of the Legislature is
approved by the people"
A BENEDICTION TO NORTH
CAROLINA.
/ asked Mr.. j. w. Bailey, editor of
the Biblical Recorder what he thought
of the Holman-McIntyre bill appropriate
ing 100000 TO schools, and he said:
The appropriation of 100000 extra
for the public schools is worth immense
ly more in what it indicates than in
what can be achieved with that amount
of money.
The action assures us that the effort
begun two years ago, though without
success at first, is having tremendous
effect; for it required powerful sense
of need and right to get 100000 from
this General Assembly. which had so
scrupulously and so honorably pursued
Il policy of strict economy. The people
are interested in popular education as
never before; and their representatives
have this time been true to them. J.
believe the hardest of the work for the
public schools is behind us. Much must
yet be done; but the obstacles of preiu-
dice and indifference are melting away,
and friends and advocates are easy to
be found. From now till the next Cen
eral Assembly no one of us should for
a moment desist from pleading for the
schools. And in this connection | must
say that since the State has done her
part. | believe the people will be more
ready to do theirs by means of local
taxation. So soon as possible | hope
the friends of popular education will
organize for the purpose of encouraging
this, the only means of establishing first
rate schools. We cannot organize too
quickly.
In two years more those of us who
shall live that much longer will see in
North Carolina new heaven and a new
earth. We are this morning in the day
break. | cannot estimate how great an
impetus the cause of the children of
North Carolina has received from the
General Assembly. For my own part my
hopes are higher and my feelings of graf
itude more profound than they have
been at any time since the lamentable
condition of our schools first appealed
to me. The General Assembly has been
henediction to North Carolina

educational forces are united in the

PLENTY OF BURIAL GROUND.
Committee Reports Laurel Grove
Can he Used Ten Years Yet.

Can BE Used Ten Years Yet.
The report of the special committee.
which was appointed some time since to
look into the conditions in Laurel Grove
Cemetery ana TO report thereon, was
somewhat noncommittal. The report
showed that there is ample room in the
cemetery for interments at the present
rate for at least ten years to come. while
on the other hand II called attention TO
the unhealthy conditions in the neighbor
hood of the cemetery, which might be at
tributed in part to the interments in the
cemetery and TO which the unsanitary con-
dition of the Springfield plantation was in
all probability also contributor
Health Officer Brunner's opinion to the
effect that further us of the cemetery is
unsanitary was quoted. The report states
that the subsoil drainage done in the ear
~ part of the var for the purpose of re-
claiming portion of the low ground had
been very successful. there now icing
about 500 lots ia good condition which the
city has for sale. These lots are in the rear
of the cemetery and furthest removed
from the city. The COMMITTEES was in
formed by the cemetery keeper that the
sale of lots is at the rate of three or four
a month and that interments in the Gem
etery are at the rate of about one a dav
As there is room in the unsoh lots for
some 1900 to 5000 interments i'm addition
70 the unused space in lots Of private owr-
ers throughout the cemetery the commit
tee calculated that at the present rate of
lnterment The cemetery viii be sufficient
for burial purposes for ten TO twelve years
There is also other land in the rear OF the
cemetery which the committee thinks can
be reclaimed for burial purposes. As 10
the question OF the purchase Of a new
cemetery the committee stated that It had
no recommendations to make, it's instruc-
tions being to simply report upon condi-
tons as they found them in Laurel
Grove.
The report stated that the colored por-
ton of the cemetery is in need of avail
able space, and that some provision should
he made for additional space, and that the
Hebrew portion Of Laurel Grove has been
practically used. and that additional
ground must be furnished for this class OF
citizens elsewhere.

INCREASING HIS INTERESTS.
Cigarette and CherOot Machine Pur-
chased by Mayor Myers.

chased by Mayor Myers.
Mayor Myers is extending his already
large tobacco manufacturing interests.
Tobacco a New York trade publication,
announces the sale of controlling inter
est in the Keyes-Baker Cigarette Rolling
Machine Company, and also the sale of the
Binghamtou Cheroot Company, and states
that Mayor Myers of Savannah is the pur-
chaser.
Mayor Myers spent some time I'm the
North recently on matters of business, the
nature of which was not given out. When
asked about the report yesterday, Mayor
Myers said that 1t is true that an associ-
alton of business men, Of which he is the
representative, had purchased controlling
interests in cigarette rolling machine and
also in "a cheroot company. The transac-
ton had not been completed as yet, he
said, and he would not care to give out
any details.
Mayor Myers spoke some time ago of the
possibility of a new industry being estab
lished in Savannah in the near future. He
was asked If this were the industry to
which he referred. NO" he replied, TT
is not likely that this industry viii be
brought here. We are not ready to discuss
our plans as yet"
Tobacco says that the improved Keyes-
Baker rolling machine makes all-tobacco
cigarettes, and also has an attachment
for making cheroots. This latter has been
sold TO the Binghamton Cheroot Company.
The cheroot company is stated to have a
capacity of 100000 cheroots a day, which 1t
Is said to be considerably increased. The
purchase by Mayor Myers and his associ-
ates give them control of the cheroot COM
pany as well as the cigarette rolling ma
chine. Tobacco says that some of the To-
cal stockholders retain their interests in
these concerns, but that eventually the
plant viii be transferred to Savannah.
