FREEDOM.

The Wilmington Messenger refers
to the proposed compulsory educa-
tiOnal law as a "blue law" and
scouts the idea that the children OF
thriftless and stupid parents shall be
compelled by the State to attend
school. We believe in freedom as
much as anybody, but when II man
uses his ''freedOm" to hang d mill
stone about the neck of his own
children he is unworthy to be a free
man. There are men in North Caro-
lima actually opposed to education.
They believe that learning makes
fools of folks. We have talked with
some of these men. Many of them
have a house full of children. What
good will d public school, however
we'll equipped, do the children of "a
of that stripe? But the promise
has been made again and again that
every white boy and girl in North
will be given a chance. 1t
makes no difference what stands in
the way-it must be removed. If a
father will not send his child
to d school provided by the State
without cost to him he should be
compelled by the strong arm of the
law to do 50 and if that takes away
his freedom, let it go, he is in no
sense worthy of it.-Charity and

FAULTS IN FREE SEEDS.

The plan originally developed more
than half a century ago OF dlstr1but-
ing seeds, roots and tubers Of new
plants for the purpose of introducing
their culture in this country has
grown to such proportions as to
threaten a legitimate business, that
Of the seed trade. From a few pack
ages sent to persons who would be
likely to carry out the purpose OF
their distribution, the mum per OF
packets of seeds has grown to 24,OOO,-
900, which, if sold at their normal
retail value of five cents apiece,
would bring 81, 200, coo. Against this
practice the seedsmen of the country
have naturally arrayed themselves.
They welcome anything done by the
government in the way OF collecting
new fbers, grains and plants for IN
PRODUCTION into this country, but
they see in the increasing dlstr1Du-
ton Of seeds, which are their normal
stock in trade, a powerful agency
for the depression of their trade, for
the vast proportion of the seeds now
distributed can be purchased at any
seed store. The seed merchants are
not the only persons damaged. The
seed growers also suffer, and it is
questionable whether the recipients
of the seeds are benefited in fact,
about the only persons who gain by
the operation are members Of Con-
gress, who find in fve-cent packages
of seeds, costing them nothing and
mailed by their secretaries, an easy
means of persuading their constitu-
ents that they T mindful Of their
interests. 1t is time a reform should
take place in this matter

COST OF COTTON SEED MEAL.

Cotton seed meal has been recon
nended as an ingredient of CONNER
nal munures. This season it Is more
'Npen~ive than usual. This is be-
other sources of manurial com
pounds 7 high, AID even at the
price named, 81 per ton, cotton seed
neal may be used with d degree of
.nnfidence that if the meal is pure,
md especially If it has been bolted
inc, 1t Is as cheap As any other ar
nc which can now be obtained.
Hence when w. g. w, Putnam, n.
-, asks Us to suggest something
cheaper, we must say that taking
int consideration the phOsphOric
acid, potash and nitrogen of cotton
seed meal it Is relatively not much,
If any higher in price, than other
sources of nitrogen. 1t is in u good
mechanical condition for mixing, is
at hand, and can be mixed at leisure,
whereas if some substitute is Dur-
chased it may need to be brought a
distance with risk of loss of time and
this risk helps make the cotton seed
meal more valuable.
1t must be borne in mind that there
Is some oil in this meal. This oil
arrests capillarity in the soil whenin

piled IN drills, or in hills, unless it is

STRAIGHT TICKETS AND CROOKED OFF,
GALS.

James Russell Lowell, in an adj
dress delivered before the Reform
Club of New York in 1888, said: eff

drainage and ventilation there must
be people who will do it for them.
who will cry out without ceasing till
their fellOw-CitizenS are aroused to
the danger of infection. This duty
can be done only by men ASSOCIATED
from the interests Of party. The
Independents have undertaken it,
and with Gods help will carry it
through"
In municipal elections partisan
ship is now scarcely to be observed,
Mr.. Croker has stated that it is the
''silent vote" which determines the
fate of political candidates, but,
after all, is it not really the indie
pendent vote?
The ''vote-' er-straight" individual
who Can see no good in any class OF
men save those belonging to the
political organization with which he
attiliates, is rapidly waking up to his
duty as "a free and thoroughly sane
American citizen. This throwing
off of the party collar is a most hope
full sign. With silly political preju-
dice crushed and the mental vision
OF the people brOadened to such an
extent that they viii vote in ac-
cOrdance with their honest convic-
tions and not as ~parUisanship de-
mands, the Ship of State Will surely
be IN safe hands.
Henceforth it behooves the party
in charge OF the nations affairs,

keep faith with the people, for mere
craftsmanship can no longer maintain

PUT IT ON THE STATUTE BOOKS.

We are glad that the mill men are
signing agreements aimed at child
labor and the twelve hour evil but
the Legislature should nevertheless
pass stringent laws upon these sub
iects. AS the Greensboro Telegram
we'll says:
"There is no precedent by which
the State may be authorized to make
an agreement with individuals
whereby, on the promise of those in
dividuals to do certain just things,
the State shall forego its power and
duty to say by law that they must
do so. If the mill men may ask the
State to do this, why may not any
other set of individuals ask the same
thing?"
And we agree with the Telegram
that the whole principle is wrong.
To carry it to it's logical end, our law
makers would have to repeal the
laws against murder should a ma
jority of the people of the State
pledge themselves to abstain from
that crime.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

Writing in the Lumber Bridge
News, Rev. P. R. Law says:
"There is a prejudice against agri-
cultural college education. It is
wide spread. The conviction is
strong that it will do no good. Some
how the idea prevails that it is and
will always be sheer impracticable
theory. With many college work is
associated with kid glOved gentry
and the study of much nine tenthS
know nothing about, and is for no
practical service in this ut~ilitarian
era. Whatever is not palpably in
dustrial right now must be pro
Scribed. 1t Is Il fact, as we have be
fore said, that one of the professors
at the A. & NJ. College has said that
most of the students of the institU-
ton pass on the mechanical depart
ment courses of the school. We do
not know the causes of this. 1t may
be in the parents, the boys or the
school. We are much disposed to
think it is the widespread conviction
that the study of farming at college
is of no use. Then there Is earnest
need that the college bestir itself
energetically to break down this
prejudice. We believe it is possible
to help the farmers greatly by col
lege training. Whether ours does it
or not we don't know"
However much we may wish it
otherwise, we must confess hat
there is much truth in Mr.. Laws
statement IS to the prejudice against
agricultural education in this State.
And there is earnest need" that the
College and the leaders in agricul-
tural progress beStir themselves to
break it down. At our Farmers
Institutes, in the College publica
tiOnS, and in the Bulletins of the
Board of Agriculture, the fact
should be emphasized that the sue
ceSsful farmer of the twentieth cen
fury must, like the successful man
in other professions, fit himS If for
rhe highest usefulness by special
study of the "whys and wh~erefOres,'
the science and principles, of his vo
cation. If Mr., Law will visit our
\ & NJ. College we are sure he will
Ind it admirably equipped for train
NJ and educating successful, up-to
tate farmers.

A DYING TENDENCY.

The Raleigh Christian Advocate Of
last week said:
"It has been said for decades that
the political element dominates the
life of the South. It is being demon
strated in various ways that this
charge is true. A few weeks ago,
one of our daily papers called o a
list of the greatest men North Caro-
lima has produced. The lists so far
furnished show very clearly what
the standard of greatness is as
erected by North CarOlinians. With
one exception, we believe, no man
who was or is not a politician, has
been mentioned. That one excep-
ton was a distinguished preacher
and educator. The popular idea is
that greatness is found only in the
field of law and politics. Of course,
as long as this idea prevails, the
State will continue to be the subject
of criticism, and growth on certain
necessary lines will be retarded
While the Advocates remarks is
to the standard of greatness hereto
fore set up and in force + true, we
think that a reaction is now on
in this State.
Our people r aroused as never be-
fore upon educational and industrial
questions. Politics, since the adOp-
ton of the amendment last August,
has attracted little attention. Thou
sands remained away from the polls
in November. Ten people now dis
cuss the question of better public
schools for each one who talks of the
tariff or free silver. Newspapers now
give two columns to reports of the
States progress along agricultural
and industrial lines for each column
devoted to State politics. And here
at the dawn of the twentieth cen
fury there are no more encouraging
facts than these. Brains go where
they command the highest premium
Heretofore III people have show
cred most honOrS upon their poll
tlciuns. Now the tide turns and
If we read the signs of the times
Alright, our great men-the North
Curolinians who will accomplish
~most-during the next score OF years
will be our educators and our indus
trial leaders.
And when the blessings of public
education have become more gener-
ally dlffused, and the percentage of
iIliteracy in North Carolina reduced
to Il figure as low as the average in
the New England States, u State,
too, will produce great authors,
scientists, artists and inventors.
Turn in whatdirectiOn we will, think
of what reform we will-whether in
science, art, manufacturing, agricul-
ture, religion-the problem of public
education O~vershadOws all others.

BUTTER ADULTERATION -sUBsTITU-
TION-IN NORTH CAROLINA"

The above, less substitution" is
a heading in Bulletin No. 1866 North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Staff N, June Is, 1899. This bulle-
tin forms one of an important series
of examinations of food undertaken
to determine to what extent human
foods are adulterated in this State
The paragraph under the above
named heading reads thus: ''The
samples (See table below examined
for foreign fats and reported on here
were, with two exceptions, bought
in the open market, as follows: One

groceries, four in Durham. Two

into the State the rest were home
or country butter. The price paid
for the butter was %, u and 80 cents

was OleOmargarine, and was sold at
u cents Il pound. Several other
samples were of doubtful chara ter,
that is may have contained foreign
f" is an examination of their optical
properties might have cleared up the
doubt"
From the table we learn that No.
1874 was procured in Durham, and
that it was labeled "White Glover,
Fig n Butter Co., Elgin, ILL.,"
OleOmargarine Was last spring
sold by fifteen firms in the eastern
re venue district of this State, in
only eight cities or towns, under
United States license. If it goes far
tits sold without license, or is brought
fro out OF State depots. There is
no wholesale license taken out here.
But as in cases of the above sample
1t may be ~retailed as butter in every
place Of business where sold. In
how many places, and to what ex-
tent Is cleo masquerading in this
State as at Durham? Do consumers
know how pure and good it is? Are
butter makers satisfied with this
kind Of petition? There is d
good profit in the selling price.

Mr.. Cleveland appealed to Clutch

and freedom will disregard the cost;
the kind of conservatism which has
thus far been the source of our
national safety and strength-the
conservatism of justice, of honor, Of

and of %cOntented homes" The eX.
President deplOred our "sad relapse
from former principles, and said
"We can conquer the Philippines,
and after cOnquering them can
probably govern them. 1t is in the
strain upon our institutions, the de.
moralizatiOn of our people, the eva.
sion Of our constitutional Limitations,
and the perversiOn of our national
mission that Our danger lies. As a
distinguished bishop has said, the
question is not what we shall do with
the Philippines, but what the Philip,
pines will do to US. Our country
will eve be the same again. For
veal or woe we have already irrevoC-
ably passed beyond the old lines.
The republic will in some sort be
saved. Shall it be only in name and
semblance, with fair external ap-
pearance, but with the germs Of de-.
cay fastened upon it's vitals, or shall
it, though changed, still survive in
such vigOr and strength as to remain
