NEw ALLIANCE AND PLATFORM.

There is everlasting talk as to new
combinations and new parties. The
democrats are far apart in some things.
There are a great many who are so
little democratic nat it would not be a
long journey for them TO find their way
into the republican camp. The last
speculation is a new alliance to be made
between southern and eastern demo-
erats-between the south and Ncw Eng
Ian and the Middle states democrats
tive the men who bolted in two
presidential elections and helped to
elect the republican candidate for the
presidency twice and the men who stood
four square. The western demo-
Gratis who voted with the south in those
campaigns are to be ignored. hat is a
plan talked of in the Mississippi legis-
iature. Leave out the west and If the
democracy are not whipped theH we are
not of the prophetic tribe in elections.
You can elect with some new issues and
leaving out silver perhaps. but 1t must
be by the help of the west, by an united
democracy. That there will be N some

Raleigh, ". c.. March l..
The school board of Cumberland
county divided the public school fund,
not On a per capita basis, but in such a
way as to keep every school open -four
months. The schools have been held
that period and the teachers paid. The
action Of the board was in violation Of
the school law. but the board thought
it was acting under the law Of 1901,
which is of later date than the school
law. The authorities here do not see
that they can now do anything in the
matter. In fact the action in Cumber-
land may be really the initial step in
4 new way of dividing money among
the schools.
Cherokee today gave notice it needed
no aid for it's schools, while CASTOR ask
ID for only 1920.
The soil is so saturated with water
that the roads r in some places

tons are hard to make. In others
money is plentiful.
