Growth of Rural Mail Delivery.

News and Observer: Eighteen more
free rural delivery routes have been
started in North Carolina. Yester-
day Postmaster Bailey received mott
fcation of the appointment of eigh-
teen new carriers, with orders to pay
their salaries of 5000 a year, in
monthly installments. It is expected
that a number of new routes will be
opened up this month.
Charlotte Observer: Mecklenburg
County now has 200 miles of rural
free delivery routes, served by eight
carriers. Postmaster Mullen says
that it is the plan to extend the SER
vice to 400 miles, which will cover
every corner of the county, and in
sure the delivery of the daily mail
to the remotest parts of Mecklenburg
by noon of each day. 1t is estimated
that eight additional carriers will
be needed for the completed service.

actly the reverse. Private Secretary
Pearsall said he had been impressed
by the buying of land by negroes in
Jones County.
News and Observer: Yesterday ref
erence was made to Guilford Coun-
tvs primacy IN the matter of voting
special tax for rural graded schools.
Catawba is taking a forward step in
the same direction, as the following
from the Newton Enterprise shows:
I'm the report of the meeting of the
County Commissioners, Monday, is
an item of unusual interest. It is
an order for an election in Public
School District No. 13, in Hickory
Township, for the levying of a spe-
cial tax to increase the school term.
This is the first effort on the part
of a country district in Catawba
County to supplement the regular
school fund by imposing a special
tax on the property of the district
for the purpose of prolonging the
school term beyond four months"
Colonel Olds: Rev. MI. Struggled,
who travels all over the State in the
Baptist interest, tells me that what
pleases him best of all is to see how
the people turn out this year to hear
educational speeches; that the latter
attract far larger crowds and arouse
much more popular interest than the
political speakings. He says that a
few years ago the great turnout was
to hear politics. Now things are
quite reversed The other day the
writer, after a chat with State Super
intendent Joyner, said that the latter
was planning for a great educational
campaign next year, when there will
be no politics., and that he has Sc
cured the pledge of speakers to go

Senator Prichard and the President.

Senator Prichard and the President.
The most startling political news
of the week is the reported estrange-
ment between Senator Pritchard and
the President on account of the Sen
ator's policy of excluding colored
people from participation in the
councils of the Republican Party in
the South. It is not probable that
the Senator and the President have
had a falling-out, but it is very clear
that the President has abandoned (if
indeed he ever entertained IT'D the
hope of building up a Republican
party in the South without the ne
gro-the idea which is dear to Sen
ator Pritchard's heart.
Up to about a month ago there
was every reason to believe that the
President was in sympathy with Sen
ator Pritchard's policy, and the Sen
ator seemed very near to the Presi-
dent. Now, however, the latter has
clearly shown his purpose to recog-
nize the negro. He has removed a
collector of internal revenue in Ala
bama who is charged with response
bility for excluding the negro from
party councils in that State, and it
is said that he will appoint a negro
collector of the port at Charleston.
This is in direct conflict with the
policy of Senator Pritchard, who has
been trying to remove all the col
ored omce-holders in North Carolina.
It is talked that the President may
punish, by removal from office, some
of the Republican officials in this
State who were responsible for ex-
Guiding the negroes from the State
convention at Greensboro, but this
is not probable.
In this matter the President has
undoubtedly yielded to the advice of
Northern politicians who are fearful
of the effect of the Pritchard policy
on the negro vote in the Northern
and Western States; and also to the
advice of Booker Washington, the
Alabama negro educator, who seems
to have great weight with him. It is
not our fight and we are not con
cerned in it, but the President has
made a mistake so far as the South
is concerned. The only hope for the
Republican Party in this section is
the exclusion of the negro. It would
be better for all concerned if the
policy inaugurated is continued. The
Presidents action in recognizing the
colored politicians. will tend to re-
vive the negro question and bring to
the front again the race prejudice
and bitterness in campaigns which
it was hoped had been obliterated for
years to come.-Statesville Land

WILSON,: In Davidson County was

polls. 1t was largely a battle of dol

party was the largest and most lib

the odium of in our not commend
able record. The party defeated suf-
fers the most financially, but all who
we've directly conencted are badly

an extent that this generation will
not survive.
