planned the bill saying the committee did
the best in its power. Senators Wood

NO GRADUATES EXEMPT.
A bill from the House to repeal all
laws allowing persons to teach in the pub
lie schools without standing examination
created same spirited discussion at the
morning session, but was passed without
alteration. Senator Gudger introduced
Of the Normal school at Asheville from the
provisions of the bill and explained that
this school was established and maiu
tanned by the northern Presbyterians who
had invested moro than quarter of q
million dollars in the schools and auxil-
iary common schools under their charge
scattered through the mountain section.
These schools were accomplished more
for the education of those people than the
public funds. This normal school pre-
fcrrcd tho exemption from examination
for their graduates to a $4,000 appropria-
tion.
Senator Mcintyre said that this bill had
been thoroughly considered by the COM
mittee and they wanted no schools or col
logcs given an advantage, let the grad
rates Of them all stand on an equal foot
ing
Senator Gudger replied that the other
institutions. which had also enjoyed these
exemptions. were willing to give UP the
privilege because they were uneasy about
their appropriations.

This was why the Normal College at
Greensboro was ready to surrender this
right The Methodsts and Baptists have
rchools and that is WIZ thcv want to
take away this special privilege that the
Presbyterian school has. He thought the
bill would retard education in his section.
Senator Webb was against giving any
schools or colleges monopoly; let thelr
graduates stand or fall together.
Senator Stringfield said that for once
he must differ with his colleague, Sena-
ter Gudger The people behind the Nor
nal school at Asheville were not South
orn people, they had come from the north
ard some of them had been perambulat-
ing through the mountains and had over
estimated the population saying that there
wore a million people in Western North
Carolina who were the most ignorant folks
in the world.
He was interrupted with the question::
Are not the Northern and Southern Pres
byterians as near together as the north
orn and Southern Methodists?" Yes, !"
replied Senator Stringfeld 81 supposed
tkev are but it would take about two
million graves in the South to get the two
Methodist bodies together"
At the conclusion of Senator Strlngfield' S
remarks Senator Gudger's amendment
was voted down and the bill passed.

Senator Smith explained that the town
had promised not to tax this cotton fac
tory for ten years if it was located there
and it had been exempted for three, near
ly four years. already. The town should
keep its contract.
Senator Dula said that the factory was
built inside the town and could not be ex-

to change the town limits for the fac
tory benefit.
Senator Foushce thought Senator Dula
was right. that work had been begun on
the factory inside the town before the
agreement was reached. All this bill
amounts to was an exemption of special

Paines celery compound has brought me
back to health
The thousands of instances where this
has been said-the scores of people in
every community who have told this sim
pie story; the downright, hard. cold facts;
the grateful acknowledgements of men
and women who have suffered from the
diseases that have their origin in impaired
nervous systems and sluggish. impure
blood-these are what have made PaineS
celery compound far and away the one
remedy above all others that physicians
prescribe and the public endorse.
1t is by merit, and merit alone that
Paine's celery compound has achieved its
wonderful pre-eminence, not only in this
country, but throughout the civilized
world.
After the unfortunate person who is all
ing because the blood needs new life. and
the nerves require natures food, finally
tries Paine's celery compound, and gets
immediate relief, another is added TO the
great multitude of people whose praise of
this remedy has made the demand for II
many times larger than that OF all other
remedies put together.
A person must have lost all confidence in
his fellownaen who can read the following
letter and not be convinced OF the great
benefit Paines celery compound has done.
Is doing and will continue to do for sick
and nervous people wherever ii finds them.
When a sick man or woman finds that
he or she has taken remedy that has ac-
tually done for him or her all that is
claimed for it-it can be safely predicted
what will follow. Every acquaintance,
sick or well. Will be told about it.

THE BASEBALL OUTLOOK
Ban johnson, President of the
American League, Here.
He Discusses Prospects for the Game
in Washington With Manning-Go-
ing to Baltimore This Afternoon
to Review the situation There
Options Grounds Secured.

Ban Johnson, the President of the Amer
lean Baseball League, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday and is registered at the
Raleigh. Soon after his arrival he dis
cussed the Washington outlook with Jim
ME Manning. the future head of the
American League team in this city. Both
gentlemen expressed themselves as well
pleased with the outlook for their organi-
cation in the National Capital. Ban John
ssn viii go to Bal .imore this afternoon 10
look after American League interests in
the Monumental City.
The dispatches from New York of the
meeting CT the New American Associa-
ton, the ally of the National League,
Thursday night. did not seem to concern
either Johnson or Manning very much. in
spite of the fact that it is the professed
intention of the new organization to put
4 team in the National Capital.
Manning has come out fat-footed and
said that he intends to have ball team
of the American League in Washington no
matter if there are. dozen other clubs
in the city. 1t is a well-known fact that
Manning is a shrewd manager. and it is
not likely that he would have given UP
his lucrative interests in Kansas City 10
play losing game in Washington as a
member of the American League. This
leads many persons to think that the
American League people are pretty sure
of their ground in Washington.
The American Leagues career of ex-
pansion inaugurated at the close of the
playing season last year seems, according
TO all reports, to have met with consid
cradle success. The latest news from
Boston is to the effect that the American
League has secured five-year lease on
one of the best locations for baseball
ground in the Hub. Johnson said yester-
day that the American League was very
strong in Philadelphia and that team
will certainly be placed there.
Jimmie Manning said several days ago
that he had options on two sites for base
ball grounds. AS yet neither has been
decided upon. One is the circus grounds
at North Capitol and L Streets. II this
latter site is selected, and Indications
seem to point that way, it viii probably
be necessary for the management to erect
proof grandstand and bleachers on
account of the proximity of numerous
residences in that neighborhood.
