Supt. E. P. Mangum, Wilson: l con-
slider the recent Educational Progress

that our State has made in education,
during the past ten years has not been
generally known, and this broad survey
of what has been accomplished should
thrill every true citizen, and fully arouse
every patriotic son of North Carolina to
a realization of his duty in this work.
The issue is a compendium of valuable
and interesting educational matter for

4 Dead Easy Trick.

The Raleigh Post says it would be
risky and impossible for the Southern
to try the free pass business in sending
delegates to the State convention, for the
law is TOO stringent. Quite right. But
anything to hinder "friend" from
chartering a train and bringing whomso-
ever he desires? If the railroads want to
get around the free pass business it's
dead easy.

MORE TALK.

More talk in New York yesterday about the coal strike, and no conclu- sion. Some say there will be still more talk next Tuesday, and others say there wont. There are more hints that President Roosevelt is going to find a way out. and there are hints that Gov ernor OdeIl is. All the anxious and be- wildered people can do is to wait and see what happens to the strikers. the operators, the politicians and the people" Great forces are in operation, and their operation may have great re- suits. Meanwhile 1t will be cheering to read that a new combine is to be form ed which will include every wholesaler of groceries in the United States. We are assured by the Interstate Grocer that this modest scheme is in the works, and while we are waiting to be ground between the coal millstones we can take pleasure in thinking what the next turn of the Kaleidoscope will show.

 ing for a moment to locate the sound, back she turned to recover her treasure She soon reached it where it lay strug- gling on the ground, and with the oth- CTS still cllnging to her. she took it in her mouth and proceeded on her jour ney. She disappeared in the wall and did not see her again.
 In the meantime the fire had been burning briskly and was rapidly near ing the wall. Myriads of grasshoppers could be seen leaping about in vain to escape the death which was overtaking them. Many beetles and other insects were crawling out on to the ploughed land. and most Of these got away in safety. Just before the last. I saw the grass at one point moving in a peculiar manner, and stepping over, found tur- tie plodding along at his very best pace. I am afraid it would hardly have been fast enough to save his life, had I not picked him up and carried him well out of danger.

THE iNDIFFER ENT CUBAxs.


 It is saddening to read that little Cuby'' doesn't seem to be as grateful to her greatest and best friend as she ought to be. The talk is that she is actually showing a spirit of indifference toward the cultivation of friendly com mercial relations with the United States that almost borders on hostility The best efforts of the state department thus far have failed to secure the ad- hesion of the Cuban government to the treaty which, by the terms of the Platt amendment, must be entered into be- tween the two governments. The delay is all on one side, namely, at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the Cuban min ister, Senor Quesada, have performed their part in drafting treaty which it is believed carries out the intent of congress. That treaty is now awaiting the approval of the Cuban government, which approval is withheld.
 Perhaps the Cubans will wake up and ties'' sounds we'll, but there is much they will have to be scolded.

NOT EYAETEY CLEdR.

The people of Kansas City are think ing, and talking too, because they have discovered that their local government isn't very efficient. The board of pub lie works has been planting trees in va rious parts of the city. By the terms of the contract under which the trees were bought they were to be Inspected by a city official one year after they were set out, and the contractors were to plant others in place of any that might be found dead. On many streets there was no inspection at the time required. The result is that although hundreds of the trees are dead the contractors can- not be compelled to plant others, and the city, owing to the carelessness and incompetency of it's servants, is out of pocket several thousand dollars One of the local papers draws this moral from. the tree incident: If the city cannot, or will not, take care to spend the peoples money for live trees rather than dead ones-if it cannot or will not hold responsible those who rob the tax payers, what ground is there for think ing it would successfully operate a lighting plant, telephone system, street railroad system, and other public ser vice institutions which the advocates of public ownership want 1t to acquire? |? Planting and inspecting trees on public streets isn't such difficult matter-not so difficult or complicated as to require a higher order of talent than would be needed to manage one of those big con- cerns mentioned.
 Municipal ownership of public utili- ties' sounds well, but there is much evidence that there is more sound than sense in it.

''The ecclesiastical authorities of Rome are said to send forth periodic mandates ordering un- employed clerks far from the walls of the city. If this centripetal force were of power to drive the aggregating cler- ics across the Atlantic, their sense of duty would speedily set them to work in fields that are now sadly overrun with stares."

AyINCIDENT WITH 4 MORAL.

There was a lively meeting of the City Council of Cleveland one night last June. An application for a valuable gas franchise was up for discussion and action. In the midst of the talk one of the members of the council created a great stir by fiourishing a big roll of bills, walking to the desk of the city been paid to him by pr. Frank W. Day kin, we'll known physician, as a bribe to induce him to bring about unfavora
 ble action on the proposed franchise.
 On the face of it this performance looked noble and heroic, and 1t moved many of the members of the council much as it might have been expected to, and possibly was expected to. The council despite protests against nasty action, immediately granted the fran chise, one of very great importance. Dr. Daykin was promptly indicted and arrested, and his trial has just ended. It ended in his acquittal, and some of the members of the council who voted for the franchise because they believed the Doctor had tried to bribe one of their fellow members to vote against it don't really see where they stand, but they are inclined to think that they jumped too soon. It is a decidedly in teresting affair, and the folks who got the franchise seem to be contented.

An Irish authority thus defines as an expert the effects of well-delivered curse: 'The belief among the ancient Irish . was that curse once pro- nounced must fail in some direction. If it has been deserved by him on whom 1t is pronounced 1t will fail on him sooner or later, but if it has not then it will return upon the person who pro- nounced it. They compare 1t to a wedge with which a woodman cleaves timber. If it has room to go it will go and cleave the wood, but if it has not it will fly out and strike the woodman himself, who is driving ia, between the eyes"

A forester in village in I.ivland, Russia, awakened the anger of a so- styled sorceress, who took her revenge in a novel way. She first went to the wife and said that on the throat of the forester a gray hair would grow, and if this were not cut off he would cease to love her. Afterwards she waylaid the man, and told him that his wife loved another, and intended to cut his throat that afternoon when he was taking his nap. The forester acting on the witch's advice, feigned sleep, and when the wife approached with the razor. intent on cutting the fatal gray hair from his throat, he sprang up, and beat her so unmercifully that the wo- man is not expected to recover.
