Johnstown, Pa, has been again Wis
tied by an appalling disaster. 1t is
one less frightful than the awful
calamity of May 81, 1889, in cost of
life, but in its terrible consequences
it has brought the shadow of sorrow
in hundreds of homes made desolate
by a mine explosion, which took place
in the Cambria Steel Company's roll
ing mill mine, last Wednesday after
noon. How many are dead it may
take several days to fully determine,
but that it is a long and shocking list
is certain. It may reach 200 or more
men.

mysterious compound, known only to himself,

remarkable elixir of Life, " as he calls it, for
he sends it free, to anyone who ig a sufferer, in
SUFFICIENT quantities to cOnviuce Gifts ability to
cure, so there is absolutely no risk to run.
Some of the cures cited are very remarkable,
and but y reliable witnesses would hardly be
credited. The lame ave thrown away crutches
and walEe ed about after two or three trials of
the remedy. The sick, given up by home doc
tors, have been restored to their families and
friends in perfect health. Rheumatism, neu-

CAPT. WHITE DISCUSSES ALLIANCE AND
EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
The Alliance in Alamance seems
to be at a standstill. l have not known
an Allianceman's son to join the Or
der in five years. Perhaps it is be-
cause they have to stay at home and
work while their fathers attend the
meetings. They seem not to be con-
vinced that the Alliance is a good
institution. Now, which will the State
Alliance do when it meets in August?
As for myself, l am in favor of sell
ing the building at Hillsboro to the
State for a reformatory if it will buy,
and apply the proceeds to the trade
fund. And if the State will not buy,
rent it for an academy.
Interest in education is rapidly in
creasing in all classes of society. Peo-
pie here do not complain of school
tax, and many are in favor of a COM
pulsory educational law. And I think
the next Legislature should pass such
a law.
l do not, however, think a boy can
be reformed by whipping him at the
whipping post. Stealing in North
Carolina is far less common now than
when the culprits were whipped for
such offences. 1t is a relic of barbar-
ism. A man was whipped in Nash
County three consecutive times for
stealing sheep. Some n asked why
he did not steal something else. His
reply was, Mutton gravy is the best
thing l ever dipped my potato into"
I regret very much that anyone
should advocate sectionalism in our
public schools or in any other school
in the State. I taught school 35 years
ago and was accounted a strict disci-
~plinarian. But l do not know thatI
ever benefited my pupils much by
whipping. I whipped boys who, if ]
had it to do again, I would not whip.
l would never whip a pupil except to
enforce obedience. There are many
qualifications necessary for a good
teacher, besides a knowledge of books.

now rent out to tenants, while they
sit around the corner grocery, barber
shop or postoffce and talk to death
all plans for the public good, provid-
ed there is any hint of "payin' taxes"
in them.
This is an evil which can be, and
which 1 think will be overcome by
the votes of the people.

erty are safe. We are not indepen-
dent of n another. We are mutual
" dependent in nearly all the i'm
portant relations of life. Every one
derives benefit from society, and each
one should bear his part of the ex-
penses- incurred in proportion to his
ability. Those who are perpetually
grumbling about these things, r so
engrossed in their own Importance as
to forget that they are but links in
the great chain of society; that they
owe whatever they have, whatever
they may become, to the environments
cast about them by the society IN
which they have lived. Then how
foolish when society makes a de
mand of us, to growl and say, 81 owe
you nothing" Such an idea is alb
surd. 1t precludes the idea of any
tax whatever.
No tax for any purpose has ever
been levied and paid in which the
payer alone was interested.
Says one man: II have no interest
in public schools. 1 have no children
to educate; and, therefore, you have
no right to tax me to support them"
Says another, "I have no use for
iails and penitentiaries; I don't need
any such protection; I am able to
protect myself against criminals. Let
such as need these things pay for
them"
Another says, 81 never expect to go
to law; I have no use for a court
house. You have no right to tax me to
build one. Let them that go to law
pay for a courthouse"
And still another says, "You have
no right to tax me from six to ten
days work each year to keep up the
public roads; I have no wagon and
team, and, therefore no use for good
roads. Let them that need good roads
pay for them"
Thus we might go on through the
whole catalogue. Every argument
against a school tax applies with
equal force to every other tax. There
is one ground, and only one, upon
which every tax is levied, and that
ground is that the general welfare of
society demands it. Whatever the
common good demands, the people
have a right to tax themselves for,
and certainly nothing is more i'm
peratively necessary to the common
good, at the present time than that
the masses be educated. Give us a lib
eral school tax and we will then have
taken the first step in establishing
an efficient system of public schools
in North Carolina.
