THE BEST CRAFTSMANSHIP.

We have given space to only few
resolutions adopted by the county con-
ventions We make room today for a
portion of the resolutions passed by the
Washington County Democrats. We de-
sire particularly to emphasize this para
graph:
1.-The thanks of the Convention is heart
lily extended to the Hon. Thos. w. Blount
and other gentlemen of his community
for their valued efforts and donations to-
ward the establishment of public libra
ries in the rural districts of the public
schools of this county"
This resolution is the best one that has
been adopted by any county convention
in North Carolina this year. 1t shows
that the Democratic party is true to its
educational pledges, and that in Wash
ington county it singles out for COM
mendation gentlement who have done
most for the educational advancement
of the children. The best leader and
statesman in any community in North
Carolina today is the man who is doing
what Thomas w. Blount and his neigh
bors have done in WASHINGTON county.

frage of the American people. While
enjoying these large bounties the trusts
are selling their products in Eu-
rope. South America and other countries
cheaper than to Americans. The argu-
ment for protection in the early days of
the republic had weight; now it is ar
argument for giving a bounty to trusts,
pure and simple.
In a Fourth OF July address at Siler
the ablest Republican lawyer in the
State, gave testimony against the neces-
sity of continuing the protective tariff
policy. Maj. II. A. London, the able
editor of the Chatham Record. who was
present and heard Judge Bynum, thus
comments on the evidence furnished by
that noted Republican:
"a high protective tariff is no longer
necessary for the maintenance of the
manufactures in the United States. and
the Republican party richly deserves an
overwhelming defeat for it's persistence
in continuing this oppressive burden
upon all the people of this country who
are not manufacturers. 1t is not right
or fair, and is no longer necessary, that
the many should thus be taxed for the
benefit of the few. While it may have
been right and proper, and even neces
sary, many years ago, to have a protec-
tive tariff for our infant industries in
order that they might compete with the
Old World, yet there is certainly no such
excuse or reason now.
This fact. and the truth of this as
sertion, was most conclusivelY shown and
convincingly proved in the very able and
carefully prepared address delivered last
Friday at Siler City by Hon. w. p.
Bynum, Jr., of Greensboro. He gave
many most interesting facts and figures
official statistics-as to the manufac-
tured products of the United States He
showed how they were shipped to every
part of the civilized world and, to use
his words, successfully met competition
III every market II any unprecedented
person had before thought a protective
tariff either proper or necessary, he could
not think so after hearing the facts and
statistics given in this address, which
deserves publication and general circu-
lation.
And that which made this address
the more significant-and its statements
the more convincing-was the fact that
the speaker is one of the strongest life
long Republicans in this State"

REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY.

There are two sorts of advocates of
protection-those who believe in it to
encourage Infant industries" and those
who believe in it as a bonus to rich
manufacturers who are liberal con-
tributors to the, Republican campaign
fund. Henry Clay is an example of the
first class and Mark Hanna of the second
class. The first tariff bill. the one APP
proved by George Washington, upon the
basis of which Mr.. Tompkins called him

levied tariff not exceeding seven per
cent. That was the sort of protection
tariff that Washington approved. Henry
Clay never favored any tariff above
twenty per cent. The present tariff has
schedules as high as 1913 per cent, and
they are levied. not to protect weak in
dustries and help them to grow strong,
but to pour money into the lap OF the

such sensation here several months
ago. died in Danville, Va, this week,
after short illness. Readers of this
paper will remember that sometime ago
this old negro came here from Australia
and by his shrewdness left the city with
a great deal more money than he pos
sessed on his arrival here. He claimed
that he had a big fortune across the
waters and his story was believed by
not a few. He faxed scores of people, but
some of his creditors are still OF the
opinion that the fortune is in Australia
ana will be forthcoming some day. The
remains were inferred in the colored
cemetery in Danville this afternoon with
Masonic burial honors.

THE WAY TO Do IT.

The last Democratic State Convention,
instead of promising ito encourage edu
cation by the use of glittering gener-
alities passed a resolution specifically
promising to give a four months school
to every school district in North Caro-
lima. In the towns, school terms of eight
g t.Rgs. ss.o22.tIh.Ss had already been pro-
&islsd, and In the more thickly settled
rural districts of many counties the
school terms varied from four to seven
months. But in the sparsely settled por-
tions of the State the constitutional guar
antee of a four months school had been
disregarded. That pledge in the Demo
cratic platform has been fulfilled to the
letter. There is no district in the most
srarsely settled section of the State today
that is not given the constitutional term
The carrying out of that pledge and
the agitation for public education has re-
suited in a great awakening in many
portions of the State, and the people are
interesting themselves to build school
houses. Here is an example of what is
being done, taken from the Orange Coun-
ty Observer:
ION Saturday night, June 2Sth, Super
intendent Charles E. Maddry spoke at
Andrews school house and the people
decided to build a $3.50 school house, and
raised $40 on the spot for this purpose
They will raise the amount with all ease
"At Pickard's school house on Thurs
day night Superintendent Maddry raised
500 in money and enough rough lumber
and framing to build a two-story acad-
envy.
'sThere will be rally in Hillsboro in
the near future to raise funds to build
an up-to-date school house here. 1t is
badly needed, and we must have better
public school facilities for the white
children of this district
There is no suggestion anywhere that
the state increase it's present tax and
appropriation for public schools. 1t will
Atake no step backward, but aside from
the present funds the additional money
needed must be provided by the people
i'm their several communities. Thirty
towns have voted a special tax Others
will do so. Mecl<lenburg and Guilford
have raised large sums to help the
weaker districts. The General Education
Board will help. But, after all. there
can be little done except to help the
people help themselves. What the peo-
pie in Orange county are doing in their
communities must be done in other local
ities. A few hundred dollars raised by
the patrons of the rural schools in every
school district needing school houses,
supplemented by help through the Gen
eral Education Board. would do more to
revolutioniZe the public schools of the
State than many times the money given
through the State sources or through
donations If the people will themselves
determine to provide better school houses
and give as they are able, help will come
from the Education Board. The interest
in the localities is the thing most needed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

We wish every reader of the
MESSENGER a bright and pros
--perous New Year. MAY 1903
Drove TO you a memorable one,
because of your good health
and increased prosperity. At
the beginning of this New Year
turn over a new eaf-resolve
that YOU will think more of
= your fellow man than you have
done in the past and that you
will serve God more faithfully.
If you will only try. He will do
the rest. There are persons
who always look on the dark
side of everything and these
think the world is growing
worse every We; +. We don t
think so. We believe the peo-
pie are better morally than they
have been at any time since
this old world began to revolve
on its axis. We don't believe
it is good for a man anyway to
think that everyone but him
self is wrong. The best way is
to think well of everybody and
if you try this you will be sur
prised to find out how much
pleasanter life is-how much
more worth the living. The
old saw "set a thief to catch a
thief" always comes to our
mind when we see the chronic
fault-finder working over time.
Be Notwithstanding that
the world moved along all right
before you came into it, and
when you step out things will
move along just as well or a
little better.
Do good whenever you can.
If you have anything good to
say about others, don't wait
until they are dead and then
write a long-winded lying obit-
uary notice, but tell it to them
now. Tell them you appreciate
what they have done for you
and show that appreciation in
unmistakable actions.
