THE BILL FOR PUBLIC
BUILDINGS
North Carolina Items in the
Measure Reported
Yesterday.
Especial to News and Obseryerl

Washington, L. c., April 25.-Thc
House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds reported the appropriation
bill for public buildings today. The fol-
lowing are the North Carolina items in
the bill.
For a court house and postoffice at
Durham, seventy thousand dollars. For
a postoffice at Goldsboro, thirty-ive
thousand dollars. For increase for Gus
tom house and postoffice at Elizabeth
City, twenty thousand dollars. The
former appropriation is one hundred
thousand dollars. Provision was made
Tor a full investigation as to the neces-
sIty for appropriation for increased ac-
commOdatiOns at Greensboro.
An effort will be made in the Senate TO
add amendments for appropriations for
charging the building at Greensboro, and
to purchase the Forsyth county court
house at Winston. AS ills for both these
improvements have passed the senate,
1t IS hoped that these amendments will
be successful,
Representative Thomas, who is the
North Carolina member of the committee.
feels that while We have not gotten all
we desired, the State has been fairly
treated. He deserves the commentator
Of the State for his hard work on this
committee.
A report sent out from Washington,
that the majority Of the House Commit
tee desired to make an appropriation
Tor Greensboro instead of Durham, and
was prevented by Representative w. w.
kltchin, does that gentleman an injus-
tice, as he is assured hat the committee
had no such feeling in the matter.
Representative Pou has gone home to
spend Sunday with his family. Several
of his children have measles.

ly belittle the colored people and ey-
cry function given by them in their
ridiculous and absurd accounts of
them. Also in every incident relat-
ing to anything a colored man Or wo-
man does or says, expressing their
sentiments in a dialect which the
city editor imagines is the negro dia-
lect of the plantation, is not only
evencing a bigoted. ignorant dispo-
sition (Which should me unworthy
the dignity of a great newspaper)
but is also having a telling effect
upon the colored voters in this coun-
ty. The city editor knows neither
negro dialect or English rhetoric,
and when he mixes the two, the com
pound is a species of language which
has not yet been classified and is
harder to decipher than Egyptian
hieroglyphics, altho he may not be
aware of the fact-yet there are col
ored men in Butte who can teach the
city editor of the Inter Mountain
both diction or negro dialect, as il
is properly spoken. For the sake oil
its readers the Inter Mountain should
send him to school until he learns
one or the other. His mangled yer
biage at present in reporting fact
