PROF. CLAXTON'S ADDRESS.

AS previously announced in
these columns Prof. Claxton, at
noon Friday, in the court house,
where the county Teachers In-
sttitote has been in vogue for the
week, delivered an address on edu-
cation-public schools and the
duty resting upon the citizens to
maintain and foster them.
At the appointed hour for this
talk the court house was thronged
not only with teachers and school
committeeman of the country dis
tricte, but by citizens and ladies
in general from county and city
alike, AID it is no fullsome praise
to say that no such presentation
of the advantages Of an education
and the issdvantage of ignorance,
the duty Of the citizen to con-
tribute TO the common educational
'fuod aud the benefits to the State
who are the people-from an
educated citizenry, has ever baen
heard before in this or any other
State. 1t was a revelation; it was
an Observation-Disclosures for the
guidance of a people in a day and
generation that is marking an
epoch and determining a crisis in
the destiny of this State for all
time, perhaps, and certainly for
many generations to come.
It was a great address. It's
thrilling sentences, its inspiring
precepts, it's sublime elcquence
will linger long will abide in
the hearts of it's hearers and
prove fruitful seed in fertile soll
yielding a rich harvest of more
united efforts and more liberal
patronage along educational lines
for the garnering Of those who
are to come after us in the course
of the passing generations.
At the close Of Mr.. Claxson's
address Hon. B. F.. Aycock made
an enthusiastic and enthusiue
talk on the du'ies of the hour
along education Ices.

COTTON GOODS GOING UP.

The New York 4 mmerclal
calls attention to tie hardening Of
prices of cotton goods. 1t says:
One particularly bright spot on
the business horizon at tbs pes
emit is the cotton goods market.
The volume of trade in local job
bling lines is large and still grow
ing, with advices from the West
and South most encouraging.
A new phase has been devel~
oped in the export market, too, of
special significance and of wide
spread interest. This is the de-
mand from China for brown sheet
ings of lighter weight than has
heretofore been taken in any con-
siderable quantity for shipment to
the Orient. Domestic manufac-
turers have thus demonstrated
their ability to successfully COM
pete with foreign looms on finer
count cottons, which is but a step
toward capturing the trade on still
finer goods. This broadening of
the foreign market, too, renders
American manufacturers more iu~
dependent of local conditions.
These movements are not based
on crop reports, for despite the
effects of drought on Texas the
mill men persist in anticipating a
crop exceeding eleven millions of
bales. AL information from
Texas is to the effect that the
crop Of that State will be one
million bales less than the crop
Of last year. The loss of a mil
lion bales in that State and in
Oklahoma and Arkansas cannot
be made good in other sections
of the cotton belt. The figures
of the mill people need REVISION.
The farmer should not accept
less than eight cents for his cot-
ton this year, and if last years
prices are a test he should have
more. But eight cents should be
considered a minimum in the new
cotton year that we enter upon
to day.

THE MULE.

He Is Getting Popular Both In
Washington and G~oldsboro.
In view of the great advances Of
modern science in methods of los
comotion, numerous discussions
have taken place as to what was
to become Of the horse. For the
moment that popular animal may
be lost sight of in the question,
What is to become Of the mule?
His patience and long suffering
would appear to be on the eve of
gaining their reward.
A few days ago, in Washing
ton, a pair of the long-eared
brutes, elegantly gotten up, ira
versed the fashionable streets
hitched to a stylish carriage. The
whole affair is said to have made
a veritable sensation as we'll as a
favorable impression, and those
who are willing to risk their repu-
tation as prophets say that as a
new driving fad mules may take.
The Washington affair attract
ed 40 more attention there than
did Col. VI. 7. Dortch's famous
gopher mule 'sPat" and chil1ren
in Goldsboro last week, when the
children had the mule dressed up
in good style and parading the
streets, to the amusement of the
spectators, and to the pleasure
of the children. The incident
shows that Goldsboro is at least
keeping pace with the Nations
Capital, # not leading that fashs
ionable city, in the matter of fads
and new departures. The event
in Goldsborc last week will be
followed by others and will bring
the mule into prominence. but
the worst thing about that brute
having a future in front of him is
that he is credited with being
able to kick both behind and be-
fore, and this may interfere with
his popularity.
