Party Organs Out of Date.

Whether the remarkable relaxa-
ton of partisan lines within recent
years has given an impetus to in
dependent journalism or whether in
dependent journalism has overthrown
political bigotry, it is certain that
the day of the thick and thin party
organ has passed. It is no longer re-
garded by intelligent readers with
any degree of interest or confidence.
What the readers of newspapers de-
sire is the truth in the statement of
current events and opinions which
are unbiased by narrow prejudices.
The popularity and the potentially
of the independent newspaper is
merely a token of the expanding rea-
son of the ~people.-Kansas City Star.

Ignorance is No Remedy for Any
thing"

There seems to be a disposition
among the Democratic voters of
Eastern North Carolina to withdraw
white support from negro schools.
They say, let the taxes which each
race pays into the public school fund
be expended toward the education
oT1ts own children. It might as well
be confessed that much of the many
thousands of dollars which the white
people of the State have spent for
the education of the negro has been
literally wasted. Yet we do not look
for any change to be made in the law
regarding the distribution of the pub
lie school fund. The black man is
no longer a mepacing factor in poll
tics, and the leaders of public senti-
ment In North Carolina were never
in so serious and thoughtful a mood
toward him as they are to-day. They
will deal with him in the light of
their intelligence; he will be helped
to character and usefulness. He can
not be sent away-the white people
of North Carolina do not want him
Sent away. Therefore, he will have
to be educated, and the great Anglo
Saxon race, with its traditional cul-
ture, is generous enough to help in
the work. The theory that the negro
should remain in this State and un-
educated is monstrous. Ignorance is
no remedy for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE BEST PLACE TO BUY
WIRE FENCING.

The Page Woven Wire Fence Co.,
of Adrian, Michigan, sent us the
first woven wire fence advertisement
that evcr appeared in our columns,
and it has been running continuously
for years, and more than that, we do
not remember the instance where the
same advertisement was ever run the
second time. This shows that they
have paid close attention to their
advertising, and to their business.
Their fences must have merit, or
they would have been out of business
long since, because it is not in the
r of business to continue in
creasing the sales of an article year
after year, as this company has, I'M
less the product has merit to start
with and Their is kept right up all
the time, no matter how much it has
been advertised.
In a recent letter they say:
owe were never so well equipped
as at present to furnish Page
Fences. Having our own steel, rod
and wire mills, and having very
largely increased our weaving ca
pacity; with about 1,40O employees
on our pay roll, converting the iron
into high-carbon steel, the steel into
ingots, blooms, billets, rods and wire,
and with double the number of looms
that we had January 1, 1900, we feel
that we are in pretty good shape to
supply the demand for 1908.
owe make a standard style of
fencing for every farm, poultry,
stock or railroad requirements; use
double-strength horizontal wires in
all these styles, coil or spiral every
one of them from end to end the
whole length of the fence, and Page
Wire will retain this coil shape even
after it has been drawn out straight
a thousand times.
mo locks, staples or other devices
are used to hold the horizontals and
cross-bars together, because Page
Fence is a real woven wire fence.
"No, our fences are not perfect,
but we are trying to improve them
in every way that we know of, and
that our farmer customers suggest.
eyes, there are other pretty good
wire fences, but we believe that it is
generally acknowledged that the
closer they come to initiating the
Page, the better they are"

that the cost of moving n ton by

sand, 80 cents; over ruts and mud,
80 cents; over broken stone and ruts,
26 cents; over an earth road that is

driven to the pier where they entered

Brooklyn. Both ships got under way
as soon as possible and steamed out OF
the harbor. The man at the taffrail Of
the Brooklyn was kept busy dipping
the flag in answer to the salutes OF the
thousands upon the water front who
watched her departure. A large f1otilla

SALVATION OF INFANTS.

Presbyterian General Assembly De-
livcrs Itself More Clearly.
The overtures committee of the Pres
byterian general assembly in session
at Jackson, Miss, on Tuesday report
ed II overtures on infant salvation, de-
manding positive statement as to the
certainty of salvation of all infants
dying in infancy and calling for de-
claration which will clear the church
of false charge that it holds that
some infants may be lost. Inc COM
mittee declined to recommend rescind-
ing the action Of the last assembly as
to certain footnotes on page SO and
recommended a change of language in
section 8 of the confession Of faith In
order that it may read:
"All infants dying in infancy are in
cluded in the election Of grace and are
regenerated and saved by Chris,
through the Spirit who worketh when
and where He pleaseth."
The following substitute to section
of the report was offered by DR..
Hemphill and adopted by the assem-
bly,:
In answer to an overture asking
fo- the resembling of the action in
whole or in part, Of the general as
sembly. concerning chapter 10, Sec
tion 8 of the confession of faith, the
assembly does hereby rescind the fifth
reason of the last assembly for de-
clining to amend the confession.
The reason of the resembling being
as follows, Because while we have a
we'll grounded hope, founded on Scrip
ture that all infants dying in infancy
are saved, yet the confession of faith
goes as far as Scriptures to justify a
positive pedal statement upon this
point"
The second section of the report,
which was unanimously adopted,
reads: "Tnis assembly is fully per-
suaded that the language employed in

MANY of the papers are making much
over the magnanimity of the United
States in turning the Cuban govern
ment over to the Cubans and hauling
down the American flag. 1t was
pretty thing to do, and so far as our
information goes, the like Of it is not
recorded in the previous history of the
world. But does the incident really
mean all it seems to mean? We hope
it does. We confess, however, that we
are inclined to be skeptical about the
matter, and for that reason cannot
dilate very enthusiastically upon the
apparent disinterestedness Of the act
Such talk will sound better ten years
