THE SCHOOL FUND NEEDS THE
FINES.

The Meckfenburg Board Of Education
has decided 20 prosecute Charlotte
magistrate on the charge Of non-pay-
ment of fines into the general school
fund. The county superintendent. WEo
examined his books, found number of
fines that had not been paid in according
to law.
Recently Senator Mcneil published q
statement, showing how much had been
paid in by the magistrates in the several;
townships of Cumberland county. IL
was q very small amount and some mag
istrates, who had tried a number o.
cases, had not paid in anything to the
school fund.
The .Mecklenburg Board of Education
I is leading the way to secure reform
While there may be a number of mag
istrates in the State who have collected
fines and failed to pay them TO the school
fund, the greatest trouble is in the fact
that many more MAGISTRATES have not
imposed fines which oughtNto have been
imposed. The practice Of 'suspending
judgment on payment OF costs has
grown to be n gigantic evil in North
Carolina. There is remedy, it must be
found. and must be applied.
Some who have given the matter
much Thought believe that if all iudicia,
officers would impose fines in all cases
where they should be paid, and reduce
ten fold the finding Judgment suspend
ed on payment of costs" it would add at
least a hundred thousand dollars to the
school fund of the State. The failure to
do this is robbing the school children.
One Of the first steps In this direction
should be abolishing at least half Of the
number Of magistrates. In Wake county
there are l60 magistrates in eighteen
townships. Three in each township,
making "a, would be enough The office
would then be one of dignity and the
men elected 10 act as justices would make
proper returns. AS long as the number
is so large AMI there is no system. en-
forced to secure returns, only partial re-
forms can be enforced.

QUICKENING THE EDUCATIONAL

LAST week we noted that Mr. BENZ n

erect handsome new building at Trinity
College, which would furnish accommo-

vide a banquet hall. society hall and
rarlors. He has supplemented that gift
by generously endowing four chairs-the
chair of Political Economy. German, Ro-
nance Languages, aud Applied Mathemat-
les. The Morning Herald says:
THE vast significance of the donation
will be seen when it is understood that
it Is equal to gift of 100000 to the en-
dowment fund.
This gift by Mr.. B. n. Duke makes
a total Of about seven hundred thousand
dollars given to Trinity College by the
Duke family

TISTICUFFS IN THE SENATE.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Our comment upon the deplorable and
disgracefui scene in the Senate yester-
day can be compressed into six words:
We are sorry Tillman did it. of course.
il is not pleasant to be called liar.
McLaurin's offense against the proprie-
ties may be regarded as the first cause
and Tillmau'S vigorous resentment as a
legitimate and logical consequence. In
trinscally, however, Mr.. Tillman's
breach will be generally regarded as the
more fragrant outrage. ''Willful, mali
cious, and deliberate lie"--this is not
pardonable LANGUAGE in the Senate, no
matter what the provocation. We find
as little excuse for it as for Tilllnans
retaliatory blow. Nevertheless, it is Ger
tain that Tillman win be everywhere re-
garded as the chief offender In our
high civilization, language is accepted in
a Pickwickian sense--very wrongly, as
we think-whIle action can be taken to
the police court or made the basis of Il
financial claim. We shall not stop to
discuss the matter. Our solicitude is
concentrated upon Senator Tillman. Here
is 4 man who has grown-or, perhaps,
has made himself understoOd-very
greatly within the past few years. lie
has rough tongue, and his ideas of
genuhexion are still in the formative
stage but he has convinced many of The
most scholarly and polished members of
the Senatc--Rcpublicals as well as
D"mocrats-that he is as honest as he is
bold. rs sincere and incorruptible as he
is aggressive and, somehow, these quaH-
ties are steadily increasing in value as
we 90 along upon our ccnquerinG way.
The Senate in executive session has
very properly adjudged both Senator's

From the present outlook there seems
t. be but little doubt that Judge Walter
Clark will be the next Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of North Carolina.
The greatest opposition which has so far
developed has been the organized efforts
of corporations which really strengthen
him, since in a fight where the issue is
for or against corporations there can be
but little doubte as to where the people
will stand. Our State could ask no more

GIVE US GOOD ROADS.

Raleigh Christian Advocate.
Years ago we became the possessor o.
the conviction that a good road is one
of the most. potent factors in the life of
people. Many and many time We
watched the wagon trains. loaded with
mountain produce. winding slowly and
labOriously over rain washed or muddy
roads in Western North Carolina and.
later as q circuit preacher. We made our
way often at the rate Of two, and three
miles an hour over the rocks and through
the mud of mid Carolina roads. we asked
ourself the question: why is it that our
people do not awake to the situation,
and add 20 themselves, q mighty forco in
the shape OF good roads -
No town can thrive. no rural commu
nifty can be prosperous, with bad roads.
Prosperity will have good avenues to a
people, or it will have none. The value
OF farms, the we'll being of urban insti-
tutions will be enhanced beyond measure
by the existence of good roads. No ma
tion can ever become great when the
highways do not invite communication.
Ope OF the strongest stimulus to that de-
velopment which has marked the life OF
North Carolina in the last decade is the
deepening interest in the matter OF good
roads
The influence OF good roads is not ex-
erted merely on the material life OF a
people. 1t is felt IN the educational and
religious life Good roads are wonderful
agents in the hands of the Holy Spirit in
developing the church. Cur count ry
churches would be much stronger. IL they
could be approached by good roads. The
question is vital one. to be carefully
considered by all from the banker to the
little child who trudges his way to school
