MONUMENT TO WILEY.

Mr.. r. w. Askew, county superin-
tendent of schools in BERTHE, is pressing
his plan to erect monument in the
capitol square at Raleigh by popular sub
scription to the late Calvin Henderson
Wiley, father of the public school sys-
tenn of North Carolina. Mir. Askew S
plan is one that ought to succeed in
raising a sum sufficient for the work
He appeals to the county superinten-
dent in every county in North Carolina
to exert himself to raise, through the
teachers and scholars, an average of fifty
cents for each school under his super
vision There are 5000 public schools
in the State and this sum would raise
81, 600. 1t ought TO be an easy matter
for every county superintendent to get
an average of fifty cents from each
school in his county. There are public
spirited citizens in every county, who
would supplement the money raised if
any of the schools should fail to con-
tribute, if properly approached. The
plan is approved by Mrs. Wiley and en-
dorsed by Superintendent Mebane
and State superintendent Toon.

DR. GEORGE L KIRBY.

In the death of DR.. George l.. Kirby, sup
erintendent of the Central Hospital for
the Insane, the State loses one Of its best
and most useful public officials. As a
physician in private practice he was one
of the most successful and best posted in
Eastern North Carolina. In 1890 he was
chosen by Governor Fowle as a director of
the Central Hospital for the Insane in
Raleigh at time that called for wise
and prudent management. After
that he was elected superintendent
and held the position until
his death. He was a model public Off
cial, a capable executive, wise man Of
affairs, a successful physician, and UNI
der his direction the affairs of the hospi
tai in every department were managed
with signal ability and success. He was
man of blameless life, upright, manly
and honest He leaves to his children the
heritage of good name and to his State
the record of a model official.

Such Seems the Great Hole
at SCOTS Hill
Did Meteor Fail at This Place or the Roof Of
PrCf1upd Cave Fall In? Crowds
to See Il.
Wilmington Messenger.)

Mr.. II. *. Bryan, of SCOTS Hill, was
in the city yesterday and was telling
about a discovery that mystifes the
people of that berg.
Mr. Bryan states that people of Scott
Hill awoke Yesterday morning to find
deep round. hol in the ground about
a foot in diameter. How far it goes
down nobody knows, as no one could
see the bottom of it. Mr. p. M. Davis
was the first to discover the hole, and
when he told about it the people flock
ed to the spot to see the curiosity.
The mysterious hole is alongside the
railroad track near the depot. 1t was
not there the day before and nobody
dug it, for there was no fresh earth
around the opening. The cut in the
ground is fresh. however, and the earth
evidently tumbled on down into the
hole.
The question is, what made the hole?
Has the crust of the earth broken into
cave. or did some missile fall from
the heavens during the night and tear
its way down into the bowels of the
earth?
a meteoric fragment fell and made the
hole in the ground when it struck with
terrific velocity.
Mr.. Bryan was interested in finding
out how deep the hole was. SO he got
a shovel and dug around the opening
until il was about the size of a flour
barrel. He dug down three feet and
inverted the shovel and ran the handle
into the hole. He could not touch bot
tom, and gave up the job He went
back home yesterday determined to dig
deeper into the hole and he confidently
expects to dig out a meteor.
The Messenger representative caution
ed Mr. Bryan that he had better tread
lightly around that hole or peradVen-
ture he and his shovel might take a
scoot TO some unfathomable subterran-
can shore, mayhaps go through to the
other side of the earth and tumble out
into the camp Of the Boxers in China.
He replied that he would be dagged
il he weren't going to find out what in
the thunder made that hole.

SCHOOL TERM AND SOLVENT
CREDITS.

This Legislature is pledged in the most
school to every school district Ia North
Carolina.
If it does well in everything else and
fails there. it is failure and will not
meet the approval of the men who elect
ed its members. In addition to the pledge.
che passage of the Constitutional Amend
ment makes it the supremest duty of the
State to educate the boys because they
will be deprived of the ballot after 1908
that time.
The pledge cannot be kept unless the
Legislature provides the necessary reve-
nue.. The Legislature cannot provide the
necessary revenue unless it puts machir-
cry in motion that will secure the listing
of property that is not now listed at all.
The solvent credits of the State escape
taxation. This species of property belongs
to men amply able to pay tax on 1t, but
at it's true value They lock the notes
and mortgages up in their safes and do
not give them in. A gentleman in Raj
eigh, talking OF this matter yesterday
said: Il know a man who has $4,000
worth Of solvent credits. He claims 10
owe $4,000 and only gives in $500 tor
taxation. IT IS not believed he owes
81 900. He ought to be made TO show
under oath how much and to whom he
owes the amounts that he deducts from
the $4,000. If that were required, he
would ray tax on $500 or $4,000 instead
of on $500
There is but one way to secure the
payment of tax on solvent credits, and
that is to insert in the machinery act
that no note not listed for taxation can
be collected at law. That could be done
without preiudicial publicity and it is
done in other States. Solvent credits will
never be listed for taxation until some
such thorough and efficient method is
provided.

was created at the railway station by
the minister, who was to be his host
during his brief stay. On their way

if it would be agreeable to Mark if

orist was delighted, and accordingly,
when they reached the hall that even

ting in the corner of the platform,
took the center of the stage himself
and proceeded to offet prayer about
an hour long, in the course of which
he gave his views on all the current

saying: "And now, 0, Lord, we have
