in all school troubles, strike the poor,
innocent teacher hardest, and probably
result\in the loss of their hard earnings
to many of these poorly paid teachers.
The failure to provide this money now
would work q hardship to more people
than the failure to provide for
any appropriation made by the last leg
islature. This second 500, 900 was ap-
propriated by the legislature of 1901 for
this p 1t is as binding as any
other appropriation made by that legis-
Ilature. It affects more vitality the edu-
cational interests of the great masses
of the people Of North Carolina than
any other appropriation made by that
legislature. If the other appropriations
made by the legislature are provided
for and some of them have been paid
in full to date already, then this APP
preparation made for the benefit of the
little children of North Carolina must
be provided for. If there should not be
enough money to paw all the appro-
priationS made by the last Legislature
then as state superintendent of public
instruction, n a legal representative
of the educational interests of the chill
ldren of the state, [ shall insist that all
appropriations shall be scaled, and that
this appropriation shall be put upcn
the same footing with all others, and
that the same per cent of this shall be
paid: IN other words, if we lave MOI
money enough to pay all, then I shall
insist that all appropriations made by
the preceding Legislature shall be pro-
rated. 1t would not be fair or just to
allow all the deficit or the largest part
thereof to fall upon the appropriation
for the public schools and the lite
children. l am confident, however,
that this Legislature, composed of many
of the states able, patriotic and just
representatives, will see the wisdom
and the justice in providing the means
to keep the states pledge to its l:ttle
children"

There was a wreck at Pembroke last
night, delaying the n~orthbound train,
delaying the train which should have
reached destination at 10 o'clock for
three or four hours. A passenger train
with disabled engine was proceeding
toward Hamlet at the rate of about 20
miles an hour An engineer with or
ders to meet disabled engine and carry
the passenger train to Hamlet is said
to have overlooked orders, and, running
at high rate of speed, he met the pas
senger train, demolishing the paSsen-
ger engine, baggage and express cars.
The unattached engine then broke from
it tender, and went flying back towards
M~aXton, and went into a trestle about
eight miles from the scene of the wreck.
The negro fireman Of the disabled en-
CINE was pinned to the earth by the
weight of the tender. and was extricat-
ed by the passengers, some Of whom
were bruised but none seriously hurt,
though the conductor was thrown to a
considerable distance falling on his
back.

4 MILL MAN ON CHILD LABOR.
Disposal of the ProbIem-Mr. Bull

Fayetteville, n. c., February IA
Ipress communication from Cotton, one
of the hustling manufacturing centres
of Cumberland county, and contributed
by n who is familiar with mill con-
ldfions, and much Of whose life has been
passed within sound of the spindle and
the loom, advocates the following
disposal of the problem Of child labor:
"Give the children four months train
ling either in the public OF private
lschool annually; and then, rather than
have them loaf over the town. indulge
In all kinds of mischief, and keep bad
company, put them in the mill, and
give them an opportunity to learn a
trade while young"
Mr.. V. G. Billiard, a bright young
lawyer at the Fayetteville bar,
land a member of the house in the legis-
Nature from this county, spoke with
much force in advocacy of the amend
ment to the corporation law, whereby
Ione state corporation could own stock
IN another. He cited the two silk mills
at Fayetteville, chartered in New Jer-
lsey, and enjoying privileges denied to
home corporations, rendering it difficult
to reach them by legal notice, and to
~tcollect damages in suits brought by
home people.
The advertisement, by Mr.. a. S. Will
;liams, Of Wilmington, Of the sale or
trent of what is known as the "McIn-
tyre building" OF Person street, brings
lup wildly the contrast between tht
business of the past and the present.
There, before the civil war, the late
William Mcintyre year by year added
to an already large fortune by a heavy
trade with all the surrounding country.
Mr.. Mcintyre was one OF the best and
most generous citizens, and n of the
most eccentric men. He was a perfect
antiQuary in MS tastes, delighting in
the collection Of all sorts of curious
lodds and n his; and il is said that on
lone occaSiorl some one entering the
store, n calling for a pulpit in joke,
Mr.. Nc ntyre promptly had one

When a woman is sick she falls off In
looks. This is particularly the case

great applause by jointly facing the
angered animal and Haunting a red
cape in its face. AS 1t charged, 1t
narrowly escaped them as 1t ran be-
tween them. The matadors never
lost their hold on the cape.
One of the banderillas was a grand
stand artist. She would kneel to the
angered bill as he charged past her.
In the first contest a bull charged
a banderilla up against the parapet
and she barely escaped a terrible gor
ing.
The bulls were ~yearlings and were
as sprightly as any that ever appear
ed in the arena. One Of them was a
jumper and cleared the parapet five
or six times before he went to his
doom. One Of the bulls made a gal
liant struggle against the inevitable.
The matador made a direct thrust
on him as he charged, striking with
beautiful accuracy the artery under
the right shoulder. The animal bled
several gallons before he gave up the
ghost and the arena was sprinkled
with his gore, which gushed out II
immense jets.
The fight was better than has beer
| seen in the arena for some month";

LADY BULL FIGHTERS.
Female Toreras Stay -Four Bulls in
Good Old Fashioned style.

The Ell Paso News says that the
recent performance Of the lady bull
fighters attracted a larger crowd at
the Juarez bull ring than has been
in attendance for months. Everybody
went there prepared to see a fake
fight, but they were %agreeably disap-
pointed.
The fight was a perfect success
and the fighters displayed wonder
full skill in the handling Of the ban
derillas. The two matadores were
well skilled. They killed the four bulls
without difficulty.
Numbers of ladies were present and
the contest was entirely without the
brutal features witnessed in every
bull fight. There were no picador
end a horse Eve appeared In tn
arena, except to remove the slain bull
