their oaths and redeeming the pledges
made in our name on our behalf and with
our approval There is but one honor
able course open to US as a party, and
that is to loyalty discharge our Consti-
tutional obligations and to faithfully re-
deem our oft repeated pledges to estab-
lish and maintain uniform system of
public schools in which tuition shall be
free to all the children of the State, and
in which the children of the white race
and the children of the colored race shall
be taught in separate schools, but in
which there shall be no discrimination
in favor or to the prejudice of either
race. We cannot depart one iota from
this voluntary binding party obligation
without lowering our self respect. The
education of the children of the State is
the greatest of all questions. In this
blazing march of civilization no people
can be great who are not educated. If
North Carolina is ever to outstrip her
sister States in this wonderful march Of
progress, it can only be when her people
have surpassed all others in education
Those of her patriotic sons and daugh-
tiers who are doing most to educate her
children are serving her best and most
deserve her highest honors.
If I have made this communication
long it is because I feel deeply and
would plead earnestly for justice.

Fahrenheits thermometer, which is
generally used in this country. 1t was
really invented by Sir Isaac Newton, and
the starting point of his scale was the
heat of the human body. Newton's pa

describes his instrument as glass tube

A VIEW OF OUR DEFENCES
fO;tificaiiOns Along the Great Lakes and The S..
Lawrence Under Consideration, Also
Projects for Defences for our
Island Possessions.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. d. c., Oct. 31.-The an
nual report of the Chief of Engineers of
Inc united States Army, General G. L.
Gillespie, for the year 1902. was made
public today.
Inc report contains complete resume
of the river and harbor improvements
for the year, which are under the super
vision of the Engineer Corps, but, owing
TO the fact that no river and harbor bill
will be passed by Congress at it's next
session, no estimates are given of the
amounts necessary to prosecute especial
Improvement projects.
Referring to the outlet of the Missis-
sippi river the report remarks that if
the project of the Boar of Engineers is
to be carried out without interruption to
the progress of the work, the sum of
$1,500,000 will be required for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1904 AS to the
South Pass channel it is said:
''The jetties and auxiliary works were
maintained in effective condition. result
ing in the utmost efficiency in maintain
ing a channel of more commercial value
than ever before existed through South
Pass. The work Of the past year in
Galveston harbor consisted of maintain
ing, Strengthening and widening the chan
mel between the jetties, and the depth
of the water on the outer and inner bars
remains practically the same as at the
end of the preceding fiscal year"
The report says that commerce has
been greatly benefited by the improve
ment of this harbor, as shown by the
increased size and tonnage of the yes
sells using the port
The report pfeaents comprehensive
view Of the condition of fortifications
throughout the country. 1t says that
the defense of the Great Lakes and the
St Lawrence is under consideration, and
also that projects for defenses for Porto
Rico, Hawaii, Guam Manila and Subig
Ray have been approved by the Secre-
tary of War. With reference to the
last mentioned plans the opinion is given
that construction should begin at an
early day. 1T is believed" the report
continues, 'that the time has come when
it will be no longer possible to ignore
the question of the insular defenses. The
Navy Department is properly insistent
that all it's important coaling stations
should receive proper defensive protection
to keep of predatory attacks from possi-
blej hostile fleets"

the crime is unknown, but If caught will

The victim in the tragedy last night
was jim Cox. the 1S-year-old son of
Hardy Cox, negro living in the suburbs
of Mt Olive.
The boys mother says that about 5
o'clock last night some one came along
the street keeping up considerable noise
and swearing very loud. The boy thought
it was some negroes whom he knew and
he went out to the street and asked who
ever it was to stop cursing so loud.
AS he spoke the sharp crack of Eis-
tol rang out and the boy was heard TO
scream. A second and a third report
followed and then the party or parties

up tightly in the minds of the few who
have been inside the room where the in

No arrests have been made, and
enough of the secret has leaked out to
warrant the statement that the jury

Weekly Review tomorrow will say:
Speculation waits upon politics, but
legitimate business is not disturbed bv
the approaching election New labor
controversies have been promptly settled
by advancing wages and the gradual i'm
prOvement in supply of coal has reduced
prices and restored activity in manufac-
turing. Complaints are increasing as to
the tardy movement of freight. miles of
cars being stalled by the lack of motive
power, and many roads refuse to accept
further shipments until the bloekades
are relieved. Lower temperature has
stimulated retail sales of seasonable
merchandise, but frost comes too late
to seriously ihjure agricultural products.
Liberal consumption sustains quotations
in most lines, domestic demands being
supplemented by large exports. Operat-
ing expenses of the railways have in
creased in many cases to such a degree
that net earnings are somewhat curtail-
ed, but gross earnings for October thus
far exceed last years by Al per cent,
and those of 1900 by 1875 per cent
Undue significance is attached to the
announcement that the Frick Company
will not advance next years price for
coke above SO. Although this is in line
with other conservative efforts of lead
ing interests to prevent inflated prices,
the probable influence on the outside
market will not be great, as the bulk
of output will go to the various plants
of the United States Steel corporation
Meanwhile sales are now being made at
Sc in extreme cases, and the scarcity has
closed more blast furnaces. Conditions
at the cotton mills are healthy. a
scarcity of goods being general. while
there is no disposition to force transac-
tions. Failures for the week numbered
