DUTY ANTnRACITEC COAL

Representative Mudd, OF MarylanC,
introduced bill in the House Monday.
promptly upon the reassemblirg of Con
gress, for the repeal of the duty on an
thractc coal. This is Il measure which
every member of the House, regardless OF
his political utilization, should support.
There is no justification whatever for a
duty on anthracite coal, and there is the
authority of distinguished member OF
President Roosevelt's Cabinet for the
statement that il was "sneaked into the
Dingley act for trading purposes" When
the coal strike in Pennsylvania had
brought the country to the verge Of fuel
famine and coal was imported from
Wales for domestic use American con-
sumers we're compelled to pay duty OF
G.. cents ton on imported anthracite
riotection may have its advantages, but
1t is doubtful whether the most devoted
champion of high tariff was in a happy
frame of mind when he paid the Govern
ment g. cents a ton for the privilege Of
importing fuel during the prevalence of a
coal famine. Representative Mudd is a
Repub lean and loyal to the protective
idea, but he draws the line on a tax on
fuel when American mines are unable to
supply the domestic demand.
While it is probable that a general re-
vision of the tariff will not be attempted
at the present session of Congress, there
is no reason why the tax on fuel should
be retained. The duty on anthracite coal
is an absurdity. Nobody will seriously
assert that the mine owners of Pennssyl-
vania stand in need of protection from
British competition. Coal is far from
cheap in Great Britain, and the cost OF
transporting it across the Atlantic makes
it impos sible for the Welsh mine owners
to compete with American lro.ulers un-
der normal conditions. In the event OF
strikes in the United States and the ces-
sation of coal production, duty on fuel
works great hardship on American con-
sumers. The people of the United States
ought not to be forced to pay a tax on
imported fuel when their own sources OF
supply are closed to them. Mr.. Mudds
bill will be heartily approved by the ma
ton, and should be passed by Congress
at the earliest opportunity-BGuimore Sun.
Representative Cannon Monday intro
dlced bill appropriating $4,000 to de-
fray the expenses of the Anthracite Strike
Commission appointed by the President.
The bill provides that the members may
receive such compensation, within the
limits of the appropriation, as the Presi-
dent may deem proper, and provision is
made so there will be no conflict with ex
isting laws affecting those members who
are now in the employ of the government.
The bill was referred to the Committee on
Appropria atoms.

THE DISTRICT

If joint resolution introduced Tues
day by Senator Gallinger, ranking mem
Der and acting chairman of the Senate
District Committee, should ultimately be
enacted into law, the District of Columbia
would become State of the Union, so
far as voting tor Presidential electors and
having representation in Congress are
concerned. His resolution proposes that
constitutional amendment comforting
this limited suffrage on District citizens
shall be submitted to the legislatures of
the several States for ratification.
The resolution is as follows:
That the District of Columbia shall be
considered State, in SO far as shall emit
tie it to representation in the Congress of
the United States and in the electoral col
lege, and in the said District of Columbia,
Senators and Representatives shall be
chosen by direct vote of the people.
Senator Gallinger believes that resi-
dents of the National Capital are entitled
to the limited suffrage proposed in his
resolution, and that as it does not pro-
vide for placing the machinery of the mu-
nicpal government in the hands of Of
ticials elected by direct vote Of the peo-
pie, it will escape the objections that
have been urged against all schemes OF
general suffrage. He will have the rest :
luton advanced to consideration as ra-
pidly as possible.
The proposition advanced by Senator
Gallinger is not only new one, but it
came as a surprise to the people Of Wash
ington, who had not expected to find a
suffrage advocate in the probable chair
man of the Senate District Committee
Opinion at the Capitol was divided as to
the desirability of the measure, but the
firmest opponents Of suffrage admitted
the scheme as proposed by Senator Gal
linger is stripped of many of its most OBJ
jectionable features, and that it had fea-
lures also to commend it to favorable
consideration. II is not probable that
the resolution will be passed at this ses-
sion at least.
A feature of the resolution that attract
election of United States Senators by
popular vote. By some this feature was
regarded as sufficient to insure the death
Of the resolution in the Senate, while
others contended that as the District
would be utterly without other means OF
electing Senators, the objection was not
serious one, even to Senators who most
jealousy guard the constitutional method
of their election.
The resolution will be referred to the
District Committee for consideration and
report, and it is understood that as soon
As the committee has taken it up, Senator
GalIinger will recommend that it be re.
ferred to the District Commissioners for
recommendation as to its feasibility and
desirability.

MARYLAND WINS IN TIL r;
SUPREME COURT.

The United States Supreme Court Mon
day decide l the case of the Northern Ger
trail Railway Company against the State
of Maryland in favor of the State on all
points The right to exemption from tax
alton under old charteTs was involved and
whether the taXesscollectable by the State
shall be . per cent. on the gross receipts
or one. half of per cent.
The case was argued on October 18th
by Mr. Bernard Carter, for the railroad
company, and by Senator L. E. McComas
and Mr. George II. Gather. for the State
of Maryland Justice White delivered the
opinion of the court. The decision was
that If a unanimous court and forever
en- DIS the litigation which has been long
pending between the railway company
and the State in respect to liability of the
company to a State tax upon its gross re-
ceipts
In 1896 Mr. George R. Gather, for the
State, brought suit against the railway
company for the payment of the tax OF
per cent. upon the gross receipts for 1898.
Mr. Bernard Carter succeeded in gainiI g
Judgment in the Superior Court of Balti-
more City. That judgment was reverse d
by the Court of Appeals and judgmelt
there given in favor of the State in the
Superior Court. An appeal again fol-
lowed to the Court of Appeals, which
again confirmed the right of the State to
collect the tax ON gross receipts. The
railway company appealed to the Supreme
Court OF the United States, and Messrs.
McComas and Gather have been success
full in gaining judgment for the State.
This judgment not only carries al! the
taxes at ] per cent. since 1895, but during
the past f,w years, and determines that
he State is entitled under later law to

" FfDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidiy regular in your treat
mcnt you will win.
Scct,'s Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's TIC best treatment.

school districts into larger and stronger
ones, to supplement their State and
county school tax with a local tax and
to provide comfortable, we'll furnished
school houses and better schools for their
children. An effort will be made to lead
the stronger communities that have al
ready settled this vital question for
themselves. to recognize the mutual de-
pepdeace between town and city and
country aa9 their obligation to the sur
rounding weaker districts, and to aid
these weaker communities in providing

we shall witness a marvellous imp oVe-

This rural school problem here, as in
every other Southern State, is the most
difficult and perplexjng one. 1t is the
strategic point, however, in the educa-
tional system of State more than three.

agricultural. The education and the very
pre- servation Of this rural population de-
pend upon the Improvement of the rural
schools. The towns and cities must. i'll
the future as in the past, draw much Of
their hest blood from the country. and,
therefore, they, too, are vitality interest
cd in the preservation and Improvement
Of the rural schools. Our people are be-
ginning to see this truth. They are a
brave people, slow to move sometimes.
but never retreating when once they
have taken an advanced position in the
line OF duty till the victory is won.
They are going to face this perplexing
problem of rural schools and they are
going TO solve it and solve it right-face
it W 18th the same courage with which they
have faced a thousand other perpleXing
problems, in their poverty, since the de-
vastation of civil war, and solve it with
the same wisdom and patience and JUS

The educational advantages of North
Carolina may be considered under two di-
visions:
J. Institutions for higher education.
2. Schools for primary and secondary
education. Institutions for higher edu-
cation.
In the number and excellence of her
institutions for higher education. North
Carolina may safely invite comparison
with any of her sister Southern States.
These institutions are of two sorts:
l. State institutions supported by State
appropriations.
g Denominational colleges
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
There are three higher educational in
situations for the white race receiving
for their support an annual appropriation
from the State: The University of North
Carolina, located at Chapel Hill, The Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts,
located at Raleigh, The State Normal and
Industrial College for Women, located
at Greensboro.

The Oldest of these institutions is the
University, founded in 1889. 1t is almost
co-existent with the State and is rich in
the tender memories and sacred associa-

A NORTHERN FARMER.
Who Settled in Chatham Says
Farming Pays Better in North
Carolina Than in Amy
Other Section.

There is a small colony of Northern
people settled in this vicinity and all are
doing we'll financially, but what is of far
more benefit is that several of those who
came here came broken down in health,
and every one has been benefited by the
change In my own family the improve
mont has been more than we expected.
The climate is. believe. the best OF all
Uncle Sans great assortment. This Win
Ter has been no exception to feature OF
the weather have noticed since l an
here. During the winter several very
heavy storms of wind and rain came
from the southwest, doing considerable
damage south and west of us, but we are
just tar enough north to escape their
severity. The billiards. and snow storms
which swept from the northwest across
the States north of us we escaped by be-
ing Just a little south of their track.
This / have noticed ever since / came
here, We are just far enough south to es-
cape the northern billiards and far
enough north to escape the fury or the
gulf storms. This is why l claim we
have one of the best sections as regards
climate.
Now, as regards land, / would say, to
begin with, land is cheaper than any sec
tion / know of, FIVE to ten dollars per
acre for farms. On many farms the inn
proyementS would cost more than the
price asked for the farms. On others the
timber, if marketed, would pay for the
price asked, and in many cases the terms
are so easy you can make your own
terms. In short, you can get farm here
cheaper than you can in the West by
taking up government land and improving
it, l know whereof / speak, l have been
there. You may not raise as big crops
here to begin with as you can in some
other sections, neither do you need to
keep awake all night praying Providence
to protect your crops from drouths, cy-
clones. grasshoppers, etc. Neither is it
necessary to turn Populist SO that you
can rant and scold satisfactorily at rail-
roads and monopolies for stealing the
fruits of your toll You have a market
