Town Fines and School Funds.

State uperintendent Toon has a
letter from Attorney General Gilmer,
giving his opinion in the case where
Mayor and County Board of Educa
ton made a compromise by which the
town pays only this years fines into
the school fund and lets the town re-
tain those for past years. The Attor-
ney General says the County Board
was wrong and has no power to make
a compromise. He concludes by say
ing:
"Such compromise outside Of the
jurisdiction of the court would not
meet the requirements made upon
the County Board Of Education under
Section 10; neither do I think that the
adj ustment made upon this basis
could be considered as a final settle
ment of the controversy, for any tax
payer or patron of public school
would be entitled upon application to
a writ of mandamuS to compel the
County Board of Education to insti-
tute action provided for in said sec
ton. | am not prepared to say that
cases may not arise in which the in
terests of both parties would be pro-
NOTED by terms of compromise but |
think on account Of the public nature
of the business that the facts which
constitute the basis of comprom mise
should be judiciously determined by
court of competent jurisdiction"

4 NEW WORLD TO CONQUER.

Some interesting facts regarding
the great size and possibilities of our
country were brought out at one OF
the recent bearings before the Com
mittec Oh Irrigation Of Arid Lan,.,.
1t is not usually realized, especially
By people in the East, that an enor-
mons area OF our country, SIX hundred
million acres in extent. lies unutilized.
This is an area larger than the whole
OF Europe, and big enough to furnish
land for dozen Old World kingdoms.
Of course good deal Of it is, and al
ways will be, unit for the support of
large population, but with proper
management, it is destined to become
the home of thousands and even mill
lions of people.
This great tract lies entirely West
of the Mississippi Valley and extends
over the Rocky Mountains, the Great
Desert and into California. Much of
it at present is barren and desolate
wilderness with too scanty a rainfall
to provide the necessary moisture for
any but the hardest vegetation. r.
rigation is to affect the change.
Years of successful experience in the
sartifcial watering OF land has proved
beyond doubt its wonderful efficiency
in certain portions Of this arid sec
ton in California, in Colorado, and
elsewhere, so that it is but question
of capital and enterprise before the
whole large problem will be solved.
livery year sees an advance towards
this desirable end; Congress has some
phase of the matter constantly before
it; the United States Geological Sur
vey has rendered valuable assistance
in discriminating the flow of the
rivers, which must be used for water
supply, surveying and estimating the
cost of dams and reservoirs, and
pointing out past mistakes and errors
which may be avoided.
Close the minds eye a moment and
picture the accomplished result.
Fifty million people added to the
population East of the Missouri river,
for this is the number of inhabitants

Of supporting, a great nation in itself;
an agricultural community, changing
desolation into fruitful lands. Great

on Eastern manufactures, and taxing

CORN FIRST.
Farmers Should Let This important
Crop Come Before Cotton and Other
Products.

New BeIne Journal
While the crop conditions, affected
by the unusual weather Of the present
spring and summer, have Caused high
prices for corn throughout the coun-
| try, it seems an abnormal price,
seventy-iive cents bushel, to pay for
corn in this market, at THIS time Of
year, and to have much OF the demand
coming from farmers who buy to feed
their stock.
By looking back at the price of corn
in this market for years past, it will
be seen that this farm product is ever
in demand, and sells generally~at a
good price.
Farmers in Eastern North Carolina
will raise truck crops, which are
shipped to other markets: cultivate
| cotton that goes to some other section
to be manufactured, or grow tobacco
| that will be bought and taken away
featured product will be sold back to
the people of this section.
Corn is staple crop which can be
grown easily and abundantly, in every
county in this section.
And yet this corn crop wilfbe in a
measure neglected, that is. truck
| cotton and tobacco will be given the
preference over it, and the local con-
sumner will be forced to pay high
prices throughout the year for this
very necessary article, needed by man
and beast.
AS before noted this season is not a
normal one. therefore some of the
best corn raising portions of Eastern
| North Carolina have no corn for ship
ment, but the fact remains that this
section does not raise the corn it
should and can raise each-year.
1t is not to the credit Of the farm
ing intelligence of Eastern North
Carolina, that the farmers must buy
Western corn, which is brought here
by rail and water, and pay for this
really home product, the added cost
OF freight. insurance and interest,
besides a good price for the original
article.
If the Eastern Carolina farmer will
give more attention to the important &c
and value Of raising a corn crop, in
stead of placing it last, the farmer
will find it to his financial interest.
Cotton and tobacco are too highly
extolled for their value as money
crops"
1t is difficult to see how corn al
seventy-five cents a bushel should
not be regarded as good money
crop.
There is always an active local con
snmptive demand for corn, which fai
exceeds that of any other farm
produces grown in this section, hence
the need that this product should re-
ceive the attention. in cultivation,
that its local value demands for it.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture Of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount of u per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and boited. Boiling water IS then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force it all through the sand in the
m0lds. The cement slacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur. and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure
Tho result is very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than thu natural stone

Capt. Ashes School History.

Wilmington Messenger.
We are much gratitied to learn that
Capt. Samuel A. Ashe has ready a
school history Of North Carolina. 1t
was prepared some years ago, his sis
ter participating in the work. 1t is
in the hands Of the textbook COM
mission. A letter in the Greensboro
Patriot, from Raleigh of the Goth of
August, states that latter it's approval
and some possible alterations or addi
tions, the book will be published and
added to the list recently adopted.
The fact that this work was in course
Of preparation actuated the commits
sion in leaving open the adoption Of
n State history when the other school
textbooks were adopted there really
being none now lit for use in exist
ence."
We are quite sure that it will prove
a deserving work. Capt. Ashe has
decided ability and has special quail
ties as a writer on historic men and
matters. The State will be fortunate
in having such a work we may not

CONDITIONS In TONAPAH.

"Volcano, +" the Tonapah correspond
emit of the Walker Lake Bulletin, has
the following to say concerning the
outlook as to early development work
by the company who recently pur-
chased the Tonapah mines:
The company which bought this
property has made no move as yet
toward developing it, and l do not
look for much in that direction until
next Spring. 1t takes time to open
mines, even if they are rich. The
thing that has made this camp the
success that it is has been the absence
of lawsuits. l never saw anything
like it, and the fact proves these men
to be more honorable and fair-minded
than any equal number of men under
like conditions on the coast. One
human hog, who wanted to grab what
did not belong to him, couldhsve set all
hands to fighting and put the camp
back ten years. One or two of that
kind tried it, but a gentle hint made
them take a different view, so every
thing is lovely.
