The Forum calls attention to the
fact that in 1883 there We're thirteen
organized counties in that portion OF
Dakota which is now the state OF
North Dakota. while there were thirty
three in South Dakota. The total as
sessment of the North Dakota coun-
ties reached s24,167 ,S66, while the
southern counties had the total of only
$23 .523, GA. and the thirteen counties
paid 81. 900 more taxes than the thirty
three. There are now thlrty-nlne
organized counties in the state of
North Dakota. In 1883 North Dakota
paid $52,S99 of taxes. In the past year
the amount received by the state audi
tor was $1.543.3S6, which is a pretty
good evidence of the rapid develop
ment of the territory.

A Three Story House.

Every man lives in a three-story house. The
lower story is part under ground. There he eats
and drinks. This is his physical nature. Many
men never leave this basement. There they live,
there they die, never entering the stories that lie
above. The second story lies above the first.
From its windows the outlook is wider, the light
in it is. more abundant, and the air purer. This
is mans intellectual department. Some go up
into the second story often, and, though they do
not abandon the basement, they use it mostly only
for eating. This is the highest. There the air,
the sunlight, the outlook are at the best. This
is the spiritual realm. Few rise into it. In many
cases dust and cob-webs are the sole occupants Of
what should be the choicest part Of the house.
The wise man, while he does not abandon the base
ment or the second story, loves the third the best
of all, and there spends much of his time.
"And the God of peace himself sanctify you
wholly; and may your spirit, and soul and body,
be preserved entire, without blame at the com
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that
calleth you, who will also do it."-Dr. Joseph
Strong.

What hopes allure us, and what terrors hound?

The Provisions and Possibilities of the Schoolhouse
Loan Fund,

"The County Board is authorized to loan to
the district and deduct, if necessary, from the
annual apportionment to that district the annual
i~nstalment of it's debt with interest. This rem
ders the County Board absolutely safe. The dis
trict cal, of course, raise by private subscription
or otherwise it's annual instalment and secure its
entire apportionment each year for running its
school if it prefers. If this bill putting into
operation my recommendation be passed by the
General Assembly, two hundred thousand dollars
will be available the first year for building and
improving public school houses, and twenty-eight
thousand dollars every year thereafter perpetually
for the same purpose. Under the rules Of the
State Board of Education this fund could be used
to secure buildings where they are needed worse
and to stimulate self-help so that the instalment
each year in public school houses could probably
be nearly doubled by private subscriptions and in
other ways. This loan fund would, of course, be
increased from year to year by the proceeds of
sales of State lands, and | should hope to see it
increased in the years to come by devises and be-
quests. It seems to me that it would invite the
philanthropy of men honestly DESTROYS of helping
in the best way the public schools of this State.
I honestly believe that through such a use of this
fund we might hope to secure a good, comfortable,
WILL equipped school house in every district in
North Carolina within one eneration."-From
Superintendent Joyner's address to the General
Assembly.

ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THE A. AND N. COL
LEGE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL-
TURE.
In his letter on page 1, Secretary Parker asks
for a fuller explanation of the General Assembly's
action regarding the A. & NJ. College and the
Agricultural Department. The gist of the mat
ter is as follows:
The first bill introduced in the House was by
Mr.. Scott, of Alamance, appropriating $4,000
from the State Treasury to erect an Agricultural
Building at the A. & NJ. College. When the
Committee on Appropriations come to act on the
matter. it offered instead $500 a year for four
years should be paid. When this was agreed to-,
ment that from the special farmers tax, the ton
mage tax on fertilizers, $4,000 additional for four
yers should be paid. When this was agreed to,
the committee backed down, and decided that the
farmers should pay the entire expense, $12,5OO a
year for four years. Then the Senate demanded
that the Department of Agriculture should first
complete, at the expense of the farmers, the yet
unfinished Watauga Hall, which is for the use of
mechanical and cotton mill students as we'll as
farmers. Next it demanded that the farmers
should pay $4,000 a year for three years as main
'enance of the C~ollege-general maintenance of
d State institution for all the people. And then
senator Gillian gave the final stab in the amend
"'nt that the Board should not "pledge the faith
ana credit Of the State" in the debts it should
incur IN erecting the Agricultural Building.
90 the status of the matter is just this: The
L''rJ OF Agriculture, out of this special tax on
m5 farmers, Is required to complete Watauga
oI%1 at a cost of $4,000 or less, and to pay $1O,-
WV a year for 1904, 1905 and 1906, to the support

dents were treated to a performance
something like that of jumping-jack
for they saw before them a perfectly
formed Panama hat.
Soon after he got it Mr.. Franco
carried it to one of the best known
hatters in the United States TO have
a leather band put around the inside.
After the expert had looked at the hat
for a few seconds he said:
"I'll give you $3.50 for that hat"

still has the beautiful white straw hat,
and he expects to have 1t for many

perfect Panamas are made and is ia

never comes to the surface, More

Ecuador is the only place where the
proper kind of straw grows Narie-
ties much like it can be found else
where, but they all differ a little from
the grass of Ecuador,
In his country, Mr.. Franco says, hats
that are considered very good here
and cost anywhere from SO to $40
buing only 80 cents. They are not
valued so highly, even. as the Ameri
