THE WRONG WAY.
CWinston Sentinel.)


We observe that an effort is being
made to persuade teachers of public
schools in North Carolina to volunteer
one months service, without remuncfa-
ton, in order to Iengthen the school
] terms by this much Some have Tc-
sponded and in doing so have manifest
ed very broad interest in the cause
Of public education, as well as wonder
full and commendable generosity, but,
in our opinion, the idea involves the
asking of sacrifice from Tie wrong per
sons, from those least able to mako
it. and borders upon the principle oe
riding free horse to death. The
teachers of our public schools, as q rule.
are very poorly paid and it appears
almost cruel to ask them TO voluntarily
reduce this pay by adding one more
month of service for the meagre salary
received.
Moreover the plan suggested carries
with it the danger Of dwarfing CO opcr-
ative effort for public education on tile
part of the citizens Of school distrjc1s ia
need of longer school terms, when ore
of the great needs is to stimulate this
cooperative effort to the extent that
the people of the school districts viii
realize the necessity for at least four
months terms Of public schools and viii
determine to have them, even IL it he
necessary to supplement the school
fund with cash from their own pockets,

MESSAGE OF THE PIGEONS.
Two Carriers Appear, One Bearing
Perhaps a Prophecy.
(special to News and Observer.

Apex, N. c., May 21.-Two carrier
pigeons came here yesterday. One of
them has silver band on his left ankle
marked Stephenson 8" and gold band
on his right leg. We were not able to
get the other one. which has a silver
band on each leg.
Both birds seemed very much fatigued
as though they had come from quite a
distance The significance of the "Steph-
enson 81 has been deciphered by some
of our sages as follows: That Bryan and
Stephenson or Hill and Stephenson will
come out of the electoral college by a
majority IN 1901.
