CARTWRIGHT ON EDUCATION.

Having little or no schooling" himself,
Cartwright was perhaps all the better
equipped for dealing with the unschooled
frontiersmen with whom his life was spent,
and he could not avoid sarcastic references
to some Of the educated ministers of other
denominations who came out from the
East and made conspicuous failures in
the same field. But he was not foe to
education. The times were peculiar, and
made special demands in the "cure Of
souls" A Methodist preacher in those
days, when he felt that he had been
called to PREACH" instead of going to
college or Biblical institute, hunted up
hardy pony and some travelling appara-
tus. Then with his library always at hand,

Washington Post.
A group of Southern members were
gathered about a table in the House
restaurant yesterday and the topic
of conversation was the negro in pol
tiles. A proposition advanced by
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
attracted much attention.
Il would be perfectly wiling" said
Mr.. Williams, ''tO see a reduction in
the representation of the Southern
States in Congress if the Northern
States would consent to a repeal of
the fifteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution, providing that the right
of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be abridged by the
United States, or by any State, on
account of race, color Or previous
condition of servitude' 1t now is
generally conceded that comforting
the franchise on the negro was mis-
take, and if it was mistake it GER
tainly should be rectifed.'
81, for one, would gladly give up
my seat in Congress and abandon
all hope of public career for the
sake of seeing the fifteenth amend
ment repealed, and [ believe most
Southern men feel as | do about it.
With all danger of negro dominion
removed the South would not object
to havingits representation in Con-
gress reduced if the representation
was fairly based upon the distribu-
ton of white population. The South
is not looking for advantage; it only
asks justice, and it is notjust to hold
this threat to reduce representation
over our heads while the fifteenth
amendment remains a part of the
Federal Constitution.

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1903.
Raleigh Post

Raleigh Post
The Legislature of 1903 is of the
things of the past, served it's days
and departed.
There was more ability than usual
in the body, and it's work was prose-
cuted from start to finish more Sys-
tematically than we have ever
known.
On the whole it's work has been
conservative, and in generalits mem
bers were actuated by patriotic de-
vOtiOn to the State. There was less
attempt at wild legislation than
usual of late years and such as ap-
peared upon the surface without ex-
ception, failed of adoption.
1t was an able, loyal, Woodworking.
honest Legislature, having in view
the best interests of the State, and,
in general its labOrs, fairly tested,
will result satisfactorily.
1t is the duty now OF every citizen
to bend his energies to the develop
ment of the States resources and to
use the enactments to that end sole
ly. There will be no occasion for
contention or attempts at injustice,
but the results of the final conclusion
OF the people s representatives is that
all interests are at work together
tremendously for the general welfare.
There will be no increase of burdens
upon any class beyond that which
actual conditions will justify. Nor
will there be any need Of any mate
rial increase anywhere.
The old State, all it's institutions
and enterprises and departments
are left in safe condition, and by pa
triOtic cooperation of all interests
can be moved forward during the
next year or two most satisfactorily
in material, educational and social
advancement. 1t is very vicious
citizen who, for selfish or other cause
attempts to disturb a harmonious
and peaceful cooperation OF all
classes in matters of Industrial or
other development. The Legislature
has left matters in shapefor splendid
achievements all along the line, and
it becomes the duty now of every
citizen to catch the spirit and spare
no effort to accomplish the greatest
years work OF upbuilding in the
States history.
Properly and periodically observ-
ed and applied, upon the whole the
work of the Legislature just adjourn
ed will help greatly in the good
work all honest citizens have at
heart. the prosperity of the old State
and all it's citizens.

SEABOARD EARNINGS.
Favorable Outlook for Operations
Next Year.

Baltimore, March 1S.-A circular,
issued by the banking house Of Town
send Scott & Son, on the securities Of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, was
much discussed today in local finan-
cial circles. A feature of this circular
is the estimate of the earning capac-
ity of the Seaboard for 1904. On this
point the circular states that the
gross earnings of the system for the
year ended December 81, 1902, were
$12,161, 53S. Since July l, 1902 Ito
December 80, the earnings have been
increasing at the rate of 1O.3per cent
over the same months of the previous
year If earnings for 1903 show the
same increase over 1902 there will be
an increase this year of $1,252,63
This would make the gross earnings
for 1903 S13,414,176. Assuming
that there will be no increase from
general sources and general develop
ments for the year 1904 over the fig
ures for 1908, the earnings for 1904,
exclusive of any increase arising from
the Birmingham extension, would be
$13, JIG.
1t is estimated that the earnings
from the Birmingham extension for
the first year after completion will be
81, 131, 900. 1t is estimated that this
extension will add to the earnings OF
the rest of the system 81, 1850
This would bring the gross earnings
from 1904 up to $15, 67O,176.
The possibility of equalling the rec
ord of the Atlantic Coast Line and
other roads by operating at sixty
per cent is discussed and the estimate
concludes as follows:
at is hardly likely that the ratio
OF expenses to earnings can be
brought down to 60 per cent as early
as 1904, but if the gross earnings of
the company should reach the figures
above estimated, and if the ratio of
expenses to earnings should amount
to 81 per cent instead of 60 per cent,
the net earnings Of the system would
still amount to IS, 164, 900, an
amount sufficient to pay fixed
charges, per cent dividend on pre-
ferred stock and about four per cent
on common stock.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The torures and evils of dyspepsia and
INDIGESTION are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train OF evis
may be enumerated as follows: feelings OF
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss OF
flesh. difficult breathing, and the action OF the
heart is seriously affected. =, :,
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly oanisned
bv the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers OF the BODY
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood: it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily Strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy exPen-
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-

merits Of Paine's Celery Compound. l can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi'
cine in the world. Two years ago was sui

Profitable Farming in Northampton
Rich Square Roanoke howan Times.

Itlcn SQUARE hOanOke-CnOWan lines
Roanoke river lands beat the Stats
for farming purposes. Gen. Matt
Ransom sold his last years crop of
cotton for SIC, 1865. 60, and his cotton
seed for $4,000, a total of $780,
$50. 60 for one crop of cotton. Messrs.
w. P. & r. C. Benthall, who pur-
chased a small Roanoke farm of $50
acres two years ago, did even better
than that, considering the size of the
farms. The Benthalls sold, last
week, their last years crop OF cotton
for something over Sc, 10000. They
had already sold cotton seed to
amount of 1854 Their net profits
last year amounted to about 81 900
The year before the net profits on
this farm were over $1,000. They
gave $1,000 two years ago for the
farm at public sale. Many predicted
that they had buried their money
but the net profits OF the farm will
more than pay for it in three years.

THE PREPARED YOUNG MAN.
7r. Samuel Spencer Speaks on the
Needs of the Industrial South.
Chattanooga Times.


Mr.. Samuel Spencer, president OF
the Southern Railway Company, in a
recent address delivered in Atlanta,
called attention to the most serious
drawback that affects the South to-
day, and one which demands the at
tentiOn of our best and wisest men.
Mr.. Spencer said:
"NOw felicitate and congratulate
ourselves as we please as tOthe prog
ress which we have made, as to what
we have achieved, the fact remains,
and / challenge any question OF it,
that we to-day are not prepared Tor
that Industrial situation which is
upon us. We lack to-day throughout
this country, particularly through
out the South, that is growing in
dustrially more rapidly relatively
than any other section, the young
men who are to take the helm. |
! mean not the young man who is
courageously willing to take it, who,
in his self-confidence, is equal to have
it, but | mean the man who is really
ready, the man who is prepared, the
man who knows the thing which he is
going to attempt to do"
This quality OF preparedness is a
matter of slow growth and comes by
experience and attention. Its proper
| development might befacilitated and
| made easier by the earnest and lib
| eral promotion OF technical schools,
which unfortunately has not been
done in the South. The southern
people have been too busy with their
present conditions to look out much
for the future, but as their prosper
ity becomes better assured they must
surely come to regard more seriously
the necessity for preparing their sons
for taking the advanced places the
development OF our industrial and
| commercial conditions make posi-
bic.

SHOULD RAISE THE MAINE.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitutions
The announcement that Foreign
Minister Abarzuza has determined to
suggest to the Spanish cabinet that
steps be taken to have the wrecked
battle ship Maine relocated in Havana
harbor, in order to discover the cause
OF her sinking, will be read with in
terest throughout the United States.
The Spaniards have always con-
tended an investigation would show
that the Maine was blown up from
within, instead of from the outside.
A good many people in this country,
among them some naval experts,
have taken the same position. The
general opinion is, of course, that the
destruction of the Maine, which pre-
cipitated the war with Spain, was the
act of some Spaniards, but it has
never been believed that the Spanish
government was directly party to
any such act.
Just why the Maine has not been
raised before this is not easy to un-
derstand. The government of the
United States should have long be-
fore this had the hulk lifted from the
bottom OF Havana harbor, if only to
show that this country is as anxious
as anybody to absolve Spain from
the responsibility of such dastardly
act as the sinking of the Maine. il
this can be done
II the Maine was not destroyed by
a torpedo or mine applied from the
outside, all Americans would like to
know it. The high character of the
chivalry of SpaniarGs, as shown in
the defense of Santiago and by the
bravery of commanders and men OF
the Spanish fleets which were sunk by
Dewey and Schley, demonstrated
that the highest type of Spaniard
could not possibly have been guilty
OF such an act as the destruction OF
the Maine.
If an investigation of the remains
of the ship will throw any possible
light upon the mystery of her sink
ing, the American people will not
enter a word of protest against the
expenditure of any sum which may
be necessary to raise her.
THIS thing Of killing people upon
slight provocation is becoming
alarming, and what makes it worse,
the law affords little protection, II

His Last Hope Realized.

Gebo, Montana, Sentinel: In the
first opening Of Oklahoma to settlers
in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
April. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim
he encountered much bad water which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him q very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The season for
bowel disorders being at hand sug-
