Thorough Teaching Needed.
(Lumberton Argus.)

tLumDertOn ArSuS.)
Under the above caption the News and
Observer has published a most sensible
article from the pen of Mr.. Thos. II.
Battle. chairman of the Rocky Mount
school board
This is the contention of the writer,
both as teacher and an editor. We
are not afraid to make the assertion
that not one in ten of the pupils in Robe
son county who have laid aside spelling,
reading, grammar and geography are at
all proficient in either. While in the
matter of arithmetic there is not more
than one in a hundred who can pass an
examination with a grade of 20 per cent.
on Sanford's Common School Arithmetic.
Against such conditions, reinforced by
others that invariably accompany low
state of scholarship, we have been strug-
Cling. If we have not yet succeeded in
introducing a period of thorough work
on the part of the whole school, the
school has been, at least, made to under
stand two things-what thoroughness
means, and that we will have work or
make it uncomfortable for the idler.
Mr.. Battle is right. A student cannot
learn without actual study on his part.
The writer knows it to be a fact in some
city schools the children are practically
Rev. s. S. Bost, at St. Philips Episcopal
school, and yet do not carry book home
with them.

Judge Brown for Associate Justice.

To the Editor: While I consider the
office Of Judge so far removed from the
rabble of politics CT every1l: life that
it should not be canvassed ;r the manner
of a ward politician, still it may not be
out of Llace to keep before the minds of
the people the names of those distinguish
ed judicial lights upon whorn the legal
profession has seen fit to make promi-
mint Ter Associate Justice of tho SUI
pfcmc Court.
lave no defense for the gentleman
whose name heads this letter-he needs
none. OF all the members of the judi
ciary of North Carolina George H. Brown
is second to none in ability, in legal lore,
in judicial temperament, and every
characteristic which goes to make up
strong legal acumen is possessed by this
learned Judge.
When it comes to selecting Supreme
Court judge, the idea of promoting some
petted child OF the State should not en-
ter into the minds of the convention.
strong, bold, we'll rounded broad minded
man should he taken for this position.
The constituting of the laws of a State is
too grave and serious a duty to impose
upon favorites unless that favorite pos
Il choice.
In selecting a Supreme Court judge.
we should not be governed by district or
sectional lines. Select judge where
you find him. Not the place1=but the
man. Not the friend-but the strongly
equipped judicial mind.
Judge Geo. Fl. Browns service on the
bench has been unbroken He has re-
fused every inducement held out TO him
to engage in other vocations, preferring
to remain in the high station of judge.
He could have made much more money
in the practice of the law had he looked
at his interest from a financial point of
viey, when he could have remained at
home with his people, but his great love
and bent of mind for the bench meant
more to Judge Brown than dollars and
cents. He remained on the bench when
others retired to engage in business. but
Judge Brown pursued the noiseless tenor
of his way" He has wrapped the judi
cial ermine about him and kept it spot
less and stainless. Had he desired 1.-The
applause of listening Senates to COM
mand," he has the ability to fill such
place, but instead he has stepped with
majestic tread IN the aisles of judicial
Ienown.
The lawyers of the State are in better
position than the laymen to know and
pass upon the judicial fitness of can
didate for Associate Justice and | feel
confident that George H. Brown will be
the choice at the convention for Asso-
ciate Justice of North Carolina.

Il was par excellence the leading party
newspaper in the last three State cam
paigns and it is entitled to congratula-
tions upon the wisdom of the course it
took and is now pursuing. The Demo-
cratic party in our State Government
must not become class or faction party,

liberal treatment of every legitimate in

any reward for it's party service except
the voluntary patronage of an apprecia-

learn that its business continues to in
crease.

STATEHOOD BILL.
The Three Territories Pool Their
Chances for Admission.

Chances for Admission.
A special dispatch to the Denver
News says that the measure providing
statehood for New Mexico, Arizona
and Oklahoma will be reported to the
house on Friday in the form of an ON
nibus bill. Although the New Mexico
people claim they stand a better show
for admission to statehood than either
Oklahoma or Arizona, they are willing
that all three of the bills shall go in
together for the sake of a more favor
able consideration on the part of the
democrats.
1t is claimed that the political COM
p~lexions of both New Mexico and Ok
lahoma are decidedly republican, while
Arizona has a leaning toward the DEM
ocracy. Should New Mexico or Okla
homa therefore be put forward as the
likely candidates the democratic votes
in the house might be lacking. The re-
publicans on the other hand might not
consent to Arizona's being pushed for
ward. Comprised in an omnibus bill,
the three territories will have an ap'
p~arently equal show, and there is little
doubt of the bill being passed in the
house. A hanging up is predicted In
the senate, although Delegate Rodey
exhibits figures in connection with that
side of congress that are most con
%vincing. Senators Penrose and Quay

that at most, 1t is merely a question of

and this, too, prior to the development
of many of the large surrounding
