DE1OCRACY AND FUSION con.
PARED.
Newton Enterprise.


The State Superintendent OF Public
Instruction has arranged a series of
educational rallies and published a
list of speakers that is very imposing
1t is indeed a campaign. Although
this is election year. politics will
have to take second place to educa-
ton, il comparison be made by the
speaking appointments and by the
audience attending the speakings.
There never was such an awaken
ing in North Carolina on the subject
of public school education. The
promises of Charles b. Aycock, while
candidate for Governor, that his
would be an educational administra-
ton is being fulfilled to the letter.
Such efforts cannot help but bear
| fruit.
The improvements already made in
| public schools under this admins
tration forms one of the leading and
most appropriate planks in the Demo-
cratic State platform this year and
pledge is made to carry on this great
work during the next two years.
In this connection the speech OF
Chairman Simmons in opening the
Greensboro convention should be
read and studied. He said the Demo
Gratis had appropriated and spent for
public education during the last
three and one-half years six hundred
thousand dollars more for public edu'
cation than the Fusionists did during
their four years. Those are the Off
cial figures and not merely the claims
of a party leader. No party ever
went before the people with stronger
claims for endorsement than this
contrast between its record and tha'
of the opposing party on public edu
cation. The educational rallies arr
the best Democratic campaigning
that could be done this year.
There are also other figures in Mr.
Simmons speech that every voter il
North Carolina should know by heart
The Democrats in three and a hal
years have appropriated and spen
100000 more for pensions to dis
abled Confederate soldiers, and $3.50,
900 more for the care of the insan
and blind than the Fusionists did il
four years.
, In round numbers we have givel
to these three worthy causes-publi
education, pensions and charity-on
million dollars more in three and
half years than the Fusionists did j
four years.
But it is said we have appropriate
; and borrowed 100000 more than W
,, have collected. That is true. But i

MERGER OF SOUTHERN RAILROADS.
Sure to Come ID the Near Future

Williams Says His Line VIII Not
Be Caught In the Trust.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Among railroad men in this terrific
ry the opinion is daily becoming
more general that the merging Of
practically all the railroads in the
Southeast into one combination is an
event of the not very distant future.
1t has been stated that such a COM
OF the Morgan interests when they
financiered the reorganization Of the
Richmond Terminal Company and or
ganized the Southern Railway. That
they have been working toward this
end ever since the formation OF the
Southern is evident to any one who
has watched the progress of railroad
affairs.
Practically every road of impor-
tance in the Southeast with the ex-
ception of the Seaboard Air Line aud
the Frisco is now controlled either
directly or indirectly by the Morgan
interests. 1t is said that the final
merging Of these properties will come
as soon as the legality of the North
ern Securities Company is established.
The probable course Of the Sea-
board. il such a merger is made, has
been much discussed. Some have
contended that the road would re-
main independent, while others have
held that Morgan can buy it when
ever he wishes to. In this connection
the following dispatch from Balti-
more in reference to statements
made by President John SHELTON Will
liams, of the Seaboard, will be of in
terest:
Baltimore August 3.-John Shelton
Williams. president OF the Ssaboard
Air Line, made flying visit to Balti
more yesterday morning, returning
in the afternoon to New York. While
here he spent most of his time IL
conference with Vice-President Mid
dendorf. Being asked by a reporter
what part tho Seaboard is taking il
the pending railroad combination!
reported in the South, Mr.. William
said:
The Seaboard is now and will
continue absolutely independent
We have never entertained propo
sition to enter any combination
although we have been approached
for some of the various schemes o
this sort. Our attention is entirely
absorbed in developing the opportu
mites Of the Seaboard system"
President Williams said he hat
Just awarded contracts for 5000

tion to the 10000 tons now being de
livered. He also said that bids ar

that time, could they be truly report

Gen. Lane, as noted in my former
article, did not advance at once as
Jackson had expected, and tor his
failure to do so, some have blamed
him, who did not, or do not under
stand the situation"
Major Moorman, few years ago,
received letter from General Lane
in explanation of his delay. 1t should
be read in connection with the epi-
sode of the 12Sth Pennsylvania regi-
ment, mentioned in former article.
Here is the letter:
''On reaching the advance guns
Moorman's battery-both sides
opened their artillery, and l ordered
my command to lie down on the side
of the road. General A. P. Hill sent
his Adjutant General, Colonel Palmer,
to know why did not form my line
OF battle, and my reply was, Be
cause l do not wish to lose my bri-
gade. am unwilling to attempt to
form my line in the dark, under such
fire and in such woods. Tell General
Hill that l believe the enemyis simp-
ly responding to our guns. II he will
| order ours to cease firing they will
stop, and | will then form my line.
The order was then given through
Palmer. Your guns ceased firing,
and so did the enemv's, just as | ex-

WHY THE SOUTH Is SOLID.

The sting of the Iowa Republican
platform is in the tail.
I'VE are earnestly opposed 1T
SAYS, .sto all legislation designed 10
accomplish the disfranchisement OF
citizens upon lines OF race, color or
station in life, and condemn the
measures adopted by the Democratic
party in certain States in the Union
to accomplish that end"
And this moves the Richmond
Times to add:
The Republican party may bid as
much as it pleases for the Southern
vote, and may even go to the extent
Of declaring for tariff reform, as die
this Iowa convention in faint
hearted sort of way, but so long as

country it must choose between tn
white man and the negro"
In this the Times is eyerlastingi

ture which is more reprehensible

but with woeful result long known
to the world, and never to be forgot
ten in the ages to come.
'.It is indeed true that General
Jackson's injuries we're inflicted, un-
Willingly, by men who loved and
idolized him, but let the circum-
stances forever be remembered in ex-
oneration of these brave North Caro-
lima Confederates. Remember, they
were in a strange forest. dense and
tangled-remember also it was night,
and that, owing to the thick foliage,
the darkness was intense-and, final
ly, remember there was more or less
confusion in the ranks, occasioned by
the withdrawal of Rodes' and Col
ston's divisions from the advance
line, and the moving up Of Hills di-
vision to take their places, the woods
being swept by the enemy's guns
most of the time.
AN EYE WITNESS.
1t should be noted here that Ma jor
Moorman was not only an eye wit
| ness of what he tells US, and himself
| had Jackson removed from the litter
| to the ambulance, but that he had
conferences, after the war, with Gen
eral Lane and Major Jed Hotchkiss
in regard to the matter.
He also had in his possession, let
ters on the subject from the same Of
ticers, whose views agree fully with
his statements, now published for
the first time.
Let me say, in conclusion, that
wrote out from memory Major Moor
mans address at the Chapel, and
sent him a copy for correction. lr
