Fear of a Newspaper Trust.

Here is an interesting article in the
Springfield Republican from it's Boston
correspondent:
"a report here is traceable to bust
ness circles in this city to the effect that
great financial interests like the Stand
ard Oil Company, are buying up news
papers in different parts of the United
States for the sake of keeping from the
people such information as shall be I'M
favorable to the power of the trusts and
of presenting to the people, in addition
to the news, such reading matter as will
make them contented with the admins
tration of public affairs which the trusts
and combinations of capital may choose
to give. Mention is made of recent
conspicuous consolidation of newspaper
interests as having been made in behalf
of the Standard Oil Company. 1t is GER
tain that the power of money over the
press seems tC be increasing, and in
stances are related here of a corpora
ton which puts reading matter into the
columns Of the suburban press in such
way as to give a most favorable i'm
preston to the public of its unselfishness
and it's methods, this matter being paid
for at advertising rates, though there
is nothing in its appearance to show
that it is not different from ordinary
reading matter. 1t is not week since
/ was told by a prominent official CT
the Republican State committee that
the weekly press of Massachusetts,, with
due exceptions, of course, was fright
fully venal. This information about the
above named corporation comes from a
source which is positively entitled 20
credit, though in the nature of the case,
it is not advisable to come any closer
to names

1--WE began our work the first week in
April last, and opened offices at 116 Mas
sau street, New York city.
Our first duty was the study of the
situation. We We're convinced, and you
surely agree with the conviction, that
before proceeding with a work OF such
Importance there should be accurate ana

conditions in the South We had no.
proceeded far in this study before we
became convinced that our energies
should be directed chiefly to the promo
tion of education in the rural districts
approximately IS per cent of the people
in the South live in the country For the
most part, the people of towns and cities
have adequate educational facilities,
while in the rural districts these facili-
tes are inadequate. We also saw that
great need was Of the preparation or
teachers for these rural schools, and we
therefore resolved that a considerable
part of our work should be that of CO.
operating with normal schools and with
other schools prepared to train teachers.
Now, then, our problem was defined
and we were in a measure prepared to
grapple with it. We decided that the
only proper avenue of approach to the
| public schools of State was through the
! State department of public instruction.
eve did not for a moment contemplate
an independent campaign for education.
We have no thought of colonizing north
/ ern teachers at the South, or of prcpagat-
| ing Northern ideas at the South; quite
| the contrary, we believe that the teach
| ers of the South must be the people of
| the South, and that your schools must
| be organized and maintained by you in
| harmony with your institutions and ira
| ditions in fact, we have conceived Of
| ourselves simply as silent partners in
the great important movement
'In passing 1 ought to say that, while
we believe it to be our duty to give cur
| first attention to aiding the people of
the Southland in establishing free pub
lie schools for all the people which shall

ciate most highly the great contribution
to the cause of education made by de-
nominational and other private schools.

will continue to be of priceless value to
the State. l myself am trustee of three
such schools, in whose mission | heartily
believe. We, for the present, limit our
work to the public schools because we
believe that adequate educational ia
cities for all the people can only be Sc
cured by system of schools founded and
supported by taxation.
Let me now refer to one of the most
important and practical features of our
work. l refer to conferences with State
and county superintendent. One Of
these conferences has already been held
in the State of Georgia, which by COM
mon consent was of unusual interest and
power. OF it Dean Russell, of the
Teachers College, New York city, said,
it was far and away the best and most
real educational conference l ever at
tended We We're not there to discuss
finely spun theories which DR.. Boanerges
had spun from his inner consciousness;
quite the contrary, We were dealing With
exact facts which had been developed
by the county superintendent OF Geor-
gia, as they answered the printed ques-
tions which had been prepared for them,
similar to the ones which you are about
to consider and answer here.
"As a result of this conference we
found ourselves able to select the few
places in the State Of Georgia where we
could begin our real constructive work.
We knew the men who were in charge of
the schools: we knew the conditions in
the counties where these men are su-
perintendents and in that way we found
ourselves able to cooperate With them on
an intelligent basis. We are discovering
that in no two States are conditions
alike. For example, in the State of
Mississippi the board of supervisors Of
a county may levy a tax of three mills
for school purposes, and by a majority
vote the people of the county by petit
ton or vote may, under the law Of that
State levy a school tax Of ten mills. AS
a result of this they have been able to
develop a system Of schools in that
State from the elementary grades to the
university, which places them easily in
the lead of all the States of the South.
1t should be remembered also that Mis-
sissippi has few large towns and cities,
and that the percentage of blacks in that
State considerably exceeds that Of the
whites,
"In the State of Georgia, on the other
hand, while the terms of the law arc
permissive in form, the law is yet prac-
tically prohibitive because in order toe
pass a local tax measure there must DE

Pittsboro, n. c., Nov. 15.-People who
think that Democracy is not immortal
should have seen the magnificent jolli-
fication meeting held in Pittsboro last
night. 1t was an occasion that town ten
times the size of Pittsboro might well
be proud of. The fireworks-well, they
were beyond description, barrels of
rosin were placed so feet apart on Mair
street, which lighted the town from one
end to the other. Cannon crackers, sky
rockets, Roman candles and torches car
ried by so men and boys made the oc-
casion one of grandeur. The Siler City
Brass Band made music for the. occ2-
sion.
Scores of people came in from the
country, and the crowd from Bynum
made a particularly fine showing. The
transparencies were all right, too, in
scribed on each were catchy sentences
which were befitting a Democratic vic
tory.
Speeches were made by Messrs. A. M
Moore, H. A. London. r. II. HAYES, w
D. Sler, j. l.. Griffin and Judge Wo-
mack. The procession started at the

The Candidates Warned About the Reported
Break Between Roosevelt and Pritchard
Especial to News and Observ,

Nopeclal TO news and OBSERVER
Hickory, N. c., Nov. 15.-The news of
the break between Senator Pritchard and
the President has created a considerable
stir among the Republicans here Some
OF them seem to think that the Presi-
dent is right and express no confidence
in the so-called lilly white movement.
They say that the Democratic party is
the only white party exclusively and that
the Republicans have nothing to gain by
throwing out the negroes who are quail
fed to vote.
The majority of them, however, seem
to side with Pritchard and say that the
Republican party of North Carolina has
cut loose from the negro for good and
made substantial gains in the last cleo
ton on their white vote of former years
1t will be interesting to see what eff
feet the turn Of affairs will have on the
post-office fight. There is a spirited
contest going on between J. w Shu-
ford, present postmaster; J. F. Miller
editor of the Press, and c. r. Blalock
deputy collector. Miller is said to have
the backing of Spencer Blackburn, while
Shuford and Blalock are said to be look
ing to Pritchard for support. Blalock
has lately been considered in the lead
but of course no one can foresee the re
suit of the Pritchard- Roosevelt break
hence Pritchard's recommendation may
go for naught.

LEGATION of the news in order to hold the
people in ignorance of what the COM
binations of capital are doing, is to the
effect that it is right in line with what
is done by strong people in power now
when they have opportunity; that rail
roads never give out anything they do
not choose to; that committees of inves-
tigation in Congress and elsewhere befog
the public as they please, and that even
the government ITSELF when it suits it's
purpose and without necessity on the
part of the situation to demand it, de-
clares censorship of the news in order
that the people may be kept in ignor-
ance by the world managers who like
to do as they please, make the public
their servants and keep them in the

MR. CLEVELAND PRAISED.
But not Defended for Referring to the Armed
Rebellion

To the Editor: In your short e"storlal
of the 18th inst. you ask why should Mr..
Cleveland insult the South in his recent
Chamber of Commerce speech in New
York by calling the Southern attitude of
the country between the States an
armed rebellion" He did not show
one-half as much feeling against the
South as your language shows against
him. Why should Mr.. Cleveland have
any feeling but the kindest against the
South? 1t is an open secret that during
his last administration the leading poll
ticians of the South, Senators Morgan, OF
Alabama; Barbour. of Virginia; German
and many lesser lights never lost an OPP
portunity to misrepresent and inJure him.
But the time has already arrived when
all we'll informed men, South as we'll as
North, see and know that he has out
lived and forgotten their ingratitude.
Therefore, l am very sorry to see the
editor of one of the leading papers OF
my native State doing this gentleman,
the greatest, best and almost only in
1uential .friend of the South, such a
gross injustice. Very truly,
T. J. BOYKIN.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 10, 1902.
The editorial in the News and OBJ
server, we submit, does not warrant our
good friend DR.. Boykin in saying that
the News and Observer has done the ex-
President gross injustice In proof of
which. we print below the only editorial
that has appeared in the News and OBJ
server with reference to the matter, the
one to which Dr. Boykin replies:

Words without a purpose. When he was
President he was careful not to use the
word Rebellion referring to the Civil
War. Why does he now use that Often
sive and misleading word? Will some OF
his North Carolina friends please an
swer?'
This paper was a warm supporter and
admirer of Mr.. Cleveland when his pres
ent North Carolina champions were try
ing to nominate somebody else in 1892.
