CALL THEMSELVES WHITE"

The most important act undertaken in
Cuba is the taking of an honest and cor
rect census of the people, and the educa-
tional and agricultural condition of the
country. The most difficult inquiry was
to get the color matter straight, even the
blacklist negro wanting to be put down
in the white column. The Washington
Star tells of the difficulties:
The enumeratOrs made three classi-
tications-w white, meStizo and black-but
if there are three colors of complexion in
Cuba there are Il hundred. Moreover.
the blacks wanted to be mestizoS and the
meStizoS white. Scores of times black
negro would answer the question, What
color are yOu:" with the answer,
white
But you are black-yOu are negro, y
the enumerator would insist.
''No, we are free; didn't we fight to be
white men? We are independent white
men,"
And no amount of persuasion could
persuade him that he was not really a
white man. and the enumeration put him
down black in spite of himself"

THESE FIGURES DON'T LIE.

When the Corporation Commission in
creased the assessment of the railroad
property of the three leading railroad sys-
TENS in the State, they rushed off to
Judge Simonton and, of course, secured
an injunction against the increased as
sessment on the ground that it was too
high. That FederaI judge still holds the
matter up by usurping the power of
assessment which can be delegated only
to the Legislature of the State
Is the new assessment reasonable and
fair? The Corporation Commission has
recently tabulated the sworn statements
of the railroad officers, and those reports
show that the Commission made their
assessment on Il very moderate basis.
Here are three facts that show that
Simonton's order ought not to stand:
j. Under the new assessment, the Will
mington and Weldon is put ON the tax
books at little less than $10,000,000.
1t made last year 81, 206, 800, over II per
cent ON the assessed valuation.
2 The North Carolina railroad is as
sessed new at $780,, S4S. 1t made last
year 1881 ,S5S.04. nearly II per cent
g. The Raleigh and Gastom railroad
is assessed new at $2,717,9 31. 1t made
last year S377, 7622 3 33-or II per cent.
We congratulate these great systems
upon having earned SO handsome sum
during the past year, and hope that their
business will continue TO increase. But
we venture to remind them that fighting
the present assessment under their pres
ent era of prosperity is not showing a
willingness to bear their fair share of the
burdens Of State government and that
they ought to pay the increased tax and
be thankful that their business justiies it.

THE KELLEY TREATMENT.

A few years ago, writing of the keeley
Institute at Greensboro, the News and
Observer said: THE efficacy of the
Kelley treatment and its tremendous
power for good seems to be thoroughly
established" Last summer, upon taking
the train at Greensboro, gentleman who
had long been addicted to drink, picked
UP large fan upon which the above ex-
tract from this paper had been printed
in bold letters. He famed himself and
went his way, leaving the fam on the
seat in the train. But the words 1.-The
efficacy of the Kelley treatment. 49,.
seems to be thoroughly established" had
fixed themselves indelibly on his memory
and he could not rid himself OF them. At
length he went to Greensboro, took the
treatment, and says that he owes his
later success III business to the treatment.
That incident caused us to recall the
efficacy" and power for good that the
treatment has done for men we have
known. In a few years more than sixty
men from Wake county have taken the
Kelley treatment at Greensboro OF
that number at least fifty have been per-
manently benefited and some have be-
come the leaders in every good move
ment, showing that it is a power of
good"
The Kelley cure does not claim to do
anything but put the patient just where
he was before he formed the habit of
drink. Men who have been slaves to the
drink habit find the craving gone; they
realize that their viii is re-established and
that they have the power of self-control
they had before they ever tasted whiskey.
We give this voluntary and unpaid
statement because recent remarkable
cure of a bright attorney has come under
our observation, and we feel it a duty
TO commend an institution or treatment
that saves brains and character from
waste and degradation.

TEACHING BY OBJECT LESSON

Following up the excellent letters by
the public spirited citizens of the leading
towns of the State, published last Sun
day, we present today two very striking
articles that emphasize the progress de
tailed in those letters.
On page two we publish, by permission
of Harper's Weekly and by the courtesy
of Mr.. Edmunds, an illustrated article
showing the progress made in the South
from 1880 to 1899. The pictures alone
tell the story of the remarkable develop
ment, due chiefly TO the brains, Drawn
and capital of Southern men. Now that
they have demonstrated the wealth of the
South and the opportunity for
large return upon capital invest
ed, it will be easier to
interest outside capitalists in developing
the South's resources, and we look to
see the South go forward in industrial
progress by leaps and bounds where
hitherto advancement has been slow and
with difficulty.
The best object lesson in North Caro-
lima is seen in the eight to ten months
terms of public schools in the leading
cities and towns of the State. 4 sum
mary of what twenty of the best of these
schools have done and are do
ing appears on page eleven. This
summary has been carefully pre-
pared from data furnished by the sew
eral superintendents. What has been
done in these towns and cities can be
done in every town, village and thickly
settled country neighborhood i'll North
Carolina, and it must be done if the State
is to give it's children a fair chance in
the race in the modern world In which
they are to live II is to be hoped that
the campaign for public education will
be zealously conducted until every child
in the State has equal advantages of fit
ting himself for life's work. The country
districts and villages cannot have costly
buildings and costly apparatus, but by
voting an additional tax they can all
give better facilities year Uy year, and
that is the highest duty they owe their
children and this commonwealth.
