CRUSHED TO DsATH.
4 SWitchman kiiied Near the Aiiouey
ore Dock Last Monday NtGhi

Henry Holton, a switchman on the
Eastern Minnesota, was run over and
killed while at work in the yards near
the Ailouez ore docks Monday night
about $50
The exact time and cause of his
death is uncertain, rs no one saw him,
but theory is advanced by some of
those who were on hand when the
mutilated remains We're found is that
one of the hand rails at the end of an
ore car, and from which llolton was
hanging, gave way and lie fell be-
tween the cars.
1t was about $3.50 when the young
man was first missed and search in
stituted, but he was not found until
about ten o'clock. The body was
fearfulIy mangled He had been
working with train of loaded ore
ears which were put upon the docks
to be unloaded, and several of them
presumably passed over him. Before
his absence was discovered other cars
ran over the same track and the re-
suit was that the unfortunate man was
literally cut into half-dozen pieces.
Coroner Dudley who investigated
the cause Of his death says there is
nothing TO indicate that the unfortu-
nate man fell under the cars as the re
suit of handrail giving way, but
thinks it was one Of those accidents
for which no one eau be held responsi.

More Than the Three RS.

In the ten cis-Mississippian Southern States
the proportion of illiterate white voters is as
large as it was in 1850; and the public schools in
these States now give "fve cents worth of educa-
ton per child for only 81 days a year" Schools
of this sort are little better than none. The peo-
pie do not care for them. The stolidity of igno-
rance canont be overcome by any such perfume
tory attack as this. The leaders Of the best South
ern opinion have come to recognize this truth,
and they have begun work in a new way. They
have discovered that the schools must do some
thing more than teach the three RS, for a people
without diversified occupations and without train
ing do not care for the three RS, nor does the
three RS profit them greatly. An idle and unpro-
ductive man is no less useless because he can
read and write.-Walter H. Page In TT Rebuild
ing of Old Commonwealth"

THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM CON-
MINT
IENT.

The oat-chess theory is again at the front this
week, and now perhaps enough has been said to
end the matter. The only good that can come out
of it is increased interest in clean seed, since to
have clean seed is the only way to avoid the chess
or cheat. We are perfectly willing for each man
to think of the matter as he pleases, but for our
part we subscribe entirely to Prof. Massey's state
ment.
Mr.. Blacknalls article on curing peavine hay
has attracted considerable attention We are glad
to print his supplementary letter.
More attention should be given to the keeping
of vegetables through the winter. There's money
in it, Mr.. B~eliotts letter contains some timely
suggestions.
. Mr.. Womble's series of letters on bees will close
next week.
The note from Prof. Emery reminds us to say
to his North Carolina friends that he has severed
his connection with the Wyoming Experiment
Station. He is now at Skowhegan, Maine.
The article on Mrs. Mckinley, which we have
condensed from a very much longer one in the
Saturday Evening Post, will doubtless interest
many readers. 1t was just a year ago Sunday
Q4th) that President Mckinley died.
The Sunday-school Lesson will hereafter be a
regular feature of the paper.
The article "Self Education" on page 11-and
a very thoughtful article it is do not fail to read
twas, by an oversight, not properly credited.
1t was written for the Raleigh Christian Advo-
cate. We try to give proper credit for every arti-
Gle we use.

Harder on Himself Than the Dog.

The following story was used to some effect in
the campaign for local taxation in 1897. In view
of recent discussions, it is worth reviving. The
speaker was confronted by decided opposition to
voting special taxes so long as the negroes should
share them; and he met it with this story of the
Irishman and his dog. "Now," said he, "are you
going to do like the ~IriShman did the dog, because
by voting taxes you aid the negro. Pat got mad
at his dog, kicked him out of the house into the
snow and ice, followed him up and held him fast
by the tail until his teeth chartered. His wife
seeing him, asked: What in the divil are yez
about Pate Are yez trying to friz yourself to
death2 No, said Pat, 4 am trying to friz this
critter of a dog."-Biblical Recorder.

It is Out of Date.

paddle your own canoe" was once an admo-
milton of independence more desirable than thrift.
But canoes are out of date and larger crafts
cover the waters. To paddle. your own canoe"
in these days means that you will never "get
therein a financial sense. Why this change,
do you ask? Reasons are as thick as dewberries
and as plain as the ears on a donkey. One suff-
cient reason is that there are two great parties
in the country that may be termed shearers on the
one hand and lambs on the other. The shearers
are out for the wool, are thoroughly organized,
armed and equipped for the campaign. The lambs
are unorganized-each one padding his own ca
noe," as it we're, They must surrender their wool
to the organized and disciplined army of shearers.
They are fortunate if they escape without being
skinned" To succeed they must become shear
es and join the union. It is thus with farmers
who still try to paddle their own canoes. What
chance has a farmer in competition with interests
organized to fleece him, unless he meets organiza-
ton with organization, and combined effort with
combined effort? The theory of individual effort
and individual independence is attractive but
out of date. Farmers, fruit growers truck farm
es and men engaged in every branch of rural IN
dustry must cease trying to paddle their own ca
noes. They must board a larger craft-a lne-ot-
battle ship, for instance, have their officers and
weapons of offense and defense, obey orders and
learn how to handle their arms effectively. To
be plain about it and leave metaphor aside, farm
ers must organize, act intelligently andin concert,
or they will lose their legitimate profits. Many
have done so already, and many more will do so
before they learn that the man who paddles his
own canoe, can make no Roadway against the cur
rent-Farm and Ranch.

have not begun canvassing yet; if they have, we
have not heard what they are discussing. Their
big problem will be that of raising money to pay
the States debts and keep the institutions run
ming properly. And this reminds us that we have
recently heard more than one prominent man de-
clare for the adoption of the South Carolina dis
pensary system, by which the Palmetto State
raises such a large proportion of her public funds.
The matter has not yet found its way into the
public prints, but this sentiment is perhaps
stronger than most people think. On the other
hand, it is true that only two weeks ago the Union
County, people decided to abandon the system
there, on what grounds we have not heard.
NEWS MISCELLANEOUS anthracite coal
strike is now in it's nineteenth week, but each side
seems to be as determined as when it began. The
non-striking force is so small that only 100000
tons of anthracite are now being mined weekly,
while the normal output is something more than
100000 tons. Prominent political leaders have
made several futile efforts to end the difficulty.
The President has completed his "swing around
the circle" and is again doing business in the
White House. He was warmly received in the
South, and good-sized crowds greeted his train
at several points in this State. He made only one
speech, that delivered at Asheville Tuesday which
we are printing on another page.
We are not taking seriously Tom L. Johnsoh's
candidacy for the Presidency. While we have not
studied the man very closely, what we have learn
ed convinces us that he is more extreme than Mr..
Bryan, without Mr.. Bryan's ability and refine
ment, and not so we'll balanced as the Nebraskan.
We shall not be surprised if the endorsement of
johnson does much to keep Ohio in the Republi-
can column two years hence.

We believe that no State which has established
a reformatory for youthful criminals has ever
abandoned it This is an argument going to show
the practical benefcence of such institutions, and
there is no reason to think that North Carolinas
experience would be different from that of the
States which have adopted this method of dealing
with a perplexing problem.-Qharlotte Observer.

a month ago at Cumberland, Md, a mob took
the law into it's own hands and lynched a man sus-
pccted of some crime. After the murderous work
had been done, proof of the mans innocence was
discovered. At Camden, N. j., last week an in
furiated crowd surrounded a negroes house. and
was about to lynch him when a son of the wronged
person came and proved the negro not guilty.
Our courts are thoroughly able to deal with crime,
and it is a fearful thing for any man or set of
men to murder a suspect without giving him that
1ull opportunity of proving innocence which the
law guarantees to high and low alike.

THE THINKERS
A New Freedom.

In a discussion of college Culture in the New
North Carolina" in the Wake Forest Quarterly
Bulletin, Prof. j. B. Carlyle ofIWake Forest Col
legc, says:
"Of course in it's essential characteristics there
is no New North Carolina the sam people as
hitherto constitute it's citizenship They are &C.
tuated by the same motives, moved by the same
purposes, stirred by the same Traditions. But
there is a different spirit in the air; different
ideals control mems thinking and shape their con-
duct, and different pursuits claim their attention.
In this sense North Carolina is a new State. And
in the evolution of this new era two factors are
operating-political liberty in a new sense, and
an unprecedented industrial awakening.
"For a third of a century many North Carroll
mans in the exercise of the functions of the citi-
zen have considered not the value of principles,
or the effects of~policies, or the personality of
candidates, but the demands of peculiar political
exigencies. This is all changed; henceforth men
will be free to form their own political creeds and
to fght for their adoption.
"There is now an open field for constructive
craftsmanship, in which neither the fear of popu-
lar abuse nor the craving for popular favor will
exert a dominating influence; therefore,, the day
of the demagogue is about to depart"
Southern lawmakers have done comparatively
little as yet in the way of restricting the employ
ment of child labor in manufacturing establish
ments. It is an u~ndisputed fact that large num-
bers are employed in Southern cotton mills and
other factories who are still under ten years of
age. Most of these juvenile toilers are children of
white parents, and to such an extent does child
labor prevail in some quarters that the percentage
of colored children attending the public schools
is much greater than that of white children All
this is wrong. 1t shuts the former out from OPP
portunities for the proper development of mind
and body and is laying the foundation for an ig-
norant citizenship. In Justice to itself the South
should put a stop to this injustice against child
labor.-Statesville Mascot.
