a thousand citizens is no less excel
lent than mercy TO an individual &C.
cused of crime, and that the abuse
of the pardoning power is in a large
measure responsible for the progress
of lynch law. To remedy the evil,
we think that in every State a board
of pardons should be established.
The responsibility is greater than
one man should Re called upon to
bear alone. To feel that the burden
is entirely your own, and that by
your failure to pardon, a man, a fell
low-mortal, believed by some to be
innocent, must surrender his free
dom and his good name or even life
itself-is it strange that the pardon
ing power is some times abused,
when thus held by an individual
without responsible advisers o. con-
ferees?
To sum up: the schemes and
policies to delay end obstruct the adj
ministration of justice in our courts
present an evil that must be cor
rected by enlightened public senti
ment, and, to remedy the second
evil mentioned by Judge Brewer,
each State should establish a board
of pardons. This accomplished, we
believe that the lynch law problem
will be greatly simplifed.

The
THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER.

"The people by extending their
patronage more generously to news
papers which dare to be independ-
ent," says The Des Moines Leader,
''are showing that they prefer news
papers which dare to be true to
themselves. It is a good sign and
newspaper men everywhere should
do publicly as they talk privately
and assist in fastening the day when
party organising, as that has been
understood, shall be altogether a
thing of the past"
The party organ is already a back
number. AS the American people
become better and better educated,
they got further and further away
from the paper that presents only
one side of the story and never ex-
presses an independent opinion. The
demand in this age is for the news
paper that is fair and honest and
brave. The people want the paper
that gives them first of all the news
all the news that's fit to print and
both sides of every story, political
and otherwise. After that they
want an honest, fearless expression
of opinion from the editor on all
public questions. 1t does not mat
ter so much whether or not they
agree with the editor in all that he
says-if the paper is honest, fair and
fearless, the American people will
like it and buy it.
Such a paper will have it's troubles,
and when it flies in the face of public
sentiment it will lose patronage for
a time, but in the long run a paper
conducted by this rule will succeed.

SALT FOR FARM CROPS.
natus.

A recent issue of the Henderson
Gold Leaf contains this item:
"Mr. J. W. Beck, who is quite as
successful in running a farm as he
is in conducting a first class meat
market, tells us he finds common
salt a valuable article as a crop
grower using it in the place of COM
mercial fertilizers. He sows it in
the drill in about the same proper
ton as guano and says crops he has
used it under, stand a drought much
better. He thinks salt the very
thing for truck and such crops as re-
quire a great deal of moisture in the
ground"
We do not consider salt a fertilizer.
It is true that salt, and especially
meat salt, is used to good effect
around asparagus, cabbage, collards,
and like crops. On these salt does
not have any damaging effect, and
it does kill the grass, weeds, and in
scots, and tends to hold the moisture
l II the soil. Looking at 1t from that
standpoint, it would be a benefit, but
for field crops generally we would
say that it is worth little or nothing
as a fertilizer. Meat salt has of
cours small pieces of meat, and
meat juices, mixed with it, and this
would serve of course, to some ex-
tent as a fertilizer. We would not
advise any one to buy salt for the
purpose, or even to put salt on their
land as a fertilizer. B. I.

A r SENTIMENT.

In his Lincoln's Day address be-
fore the Massachusetts, Legislature,
Senator George F. Hoar declared,
among other things, that ''the whip
ping post, the branding on the fore
head, the cropping of the ears, the
scourging at the carts tail, r
light punishments for the rich man
who would debauch a State, whether
it be an old State with an honorable
history, or a young and pure State
in the beginning of it's history"
This is very wholesome talk, and we
could wish that it might be laid to
heart by the citizens of every Com
mOnwealth in America. One of the
saddest signs of the times is the
cOmplacency with which the corrupt
use of money in politics is viewed by
the general public. Even good and
intelligent citizens may often be
heard saying, with a shrug of their
shoulders: "Of course there was
O4AOO@J LA 0OOn LII OOSH q O0SOS ia
there is no way of getting at the
facts, and of Furnishing the guilty
parties" But there ought to be a
way, and there would be a way if
only representative men would bestir
themselves. Whenever a legislator
or other public official accepts a
single cent, directly or Indirectly,
for his vote or influence on any
measure he should be made infamous.
Honest people ought to shun him,
society ought to outlaw him. Only
so can the rising generation be
trained to take a proper view of such

Poverty is not always a curse. It
takes all classes of people to make a
world. The chief value of poverty
to a young man is it's disciplinary
value. The men who have chiefly
Influenced this country in every
phase and character of life even in
the social realm, have come up
through the hard schooling which
poverty, adversely and privation
give. In the current number of
Success a writer gives US the follow
ing information. At the age of
eighteen the various members Of
President McKinley's Cabinet were
thus engaged:
"Elihu Root was teaching school
in one of the towns in New York,
John W. Griggs was serving his ap-
premiership as a law clerk on a
modest salary, Ethan A. Hitchcock
was employed in an humble capacity
in an extensive commercial estab-
lishmont, Lyman J. Gage was work
ing in a bank on a salary which
barely supported him, Charles Emory
Smith was a compositor on a news
paper and John D. Long and James
Wilson were plain farmer boys"
Poverty is not a curse but a bless
ing to the young man of brains and
energy.-Asheboro Courier.

Editorial.
EDITORIAL NOTES.

According to the Philadelphia Led
q the report is confirmed by the
officials of the steel trust that ''the
net earnings of the big corporation
for the month of March, over and
above the interest on the underlying
bonds, amounted to $9,27O, 600 or at
the rate of $111, 24O, 900 a year" Of
course, such a defenceless ''infant
industry must have a protective
tariff to enable it to stand compoti-
ton!
With the large appropriation made
by the last Congress for the extension
of rural free mail delivery, So, &c.,
900, which becomes available July
1st next, it is estimated that it in
sures the establishment of $500
routes in all, or about 200 to each
State. Yet Tennessee is the only
Southern State with half this num-
Der in operation. North Carolina,
with a population much greater than
the average per State, has only a lit
tie in excess of one fourth of this
number yet asked for.
Though sectionalism has been
buried n years, the people now
and then get a Whit from it's putre
flying carcass Last year it came
from the North in the shape of h
protest against putting the name of
Robert E. Lee in the Hall of Fame
this year the South furnishes u
parallel in the i'll natured bark of
Gov. Gambler, of Georgia, which at
tracted some attention a few weeks
ago. 1t is gratifying to note, how
ever, that such exhibitions are stead
lily becoming rarer and more IN
popular.
The very creditable efforts of Amer
lean authorities to prevent the Pow
ers making exorbitant claims for in
demnity seem TO have failed, and the
Chinese Government now finds itself
facing d demand for APO, 600, 600
taels, equal to about 1887, OO0, 600,
American money. To us the amount
appears excessive. The boosted
civilization of the European powers
should have madeimpOssible this eX-
hibition of greed in dealing with an
enfeebled pagan government. China
cannot pay more than SIC, 600, 900 an
nually, hence she will be thirty years
in liquidating this claim.
In our last issue we gave some ex-
tracts from an address by Charles NJ.
Schwab, president of the steel trust,
among which was this statement
s'The boy in business who starts with
q manual school education at II or
Is will get Il start that the boy who
goes through college will never catch
up with, other things being equal"
On which, the New York Sun, real
ling that success is something more
than wealth-getting, comments as
follows: "And later the boy who
went into business at II, would give
of his millions, if he had them, for
what the other boy acquired at col
lege."

LIBRARIES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The writer wishes to see every boy
and girl educated. To bring about
this state of affairs the Legislature
has made some advances. One of
these is the offer of the State to give
ten dollars toward a library at any
school district that will raise an
equal amount.
Every school district in North
Carolina should take advantage of
this offer. Every school house would
then become a center of influence in
the community. Many noble boys
in the country districts are thirsting
for knowledge. They have only a
few dry ext-books-only drinking
from the rivulets and rills, whereas
with the library we'll established
they might drink deeply from the
great fountains of knowledge.
There might be books in the libra
ry for the help of every member in
the communicative wife, for her
poultry, her dairy, her laundry, and
her cooking; the farmer for his
stock, farm implements, cultivation
and seeds on improved methods the
mechanic for his machinery, plans,
etc. books to aid the boys in debate,
and the girls in reading circles;
good moral books to tame the way
ward, wild and wandering poetry
history, science, biography, dis
covery, etc.
It should be remembered that
books r written by the great think
ers. The readers at once become the
pupils and companions of the best,
tho wisest, and greatest who have
lived.
Of course twenty dollars for d
library is small to start on, yet we are
sure more would be added and many
books would be given.
The writer can see that with the
advent II the library, rural mail de-
livery, the increased appropriation
for public schools, the numerous prl-
vate schools and academies, spring
ing up, county life will. be more
charming in the future.-J. P. c., III
