nlsh the trade with a fairly full re-
port, sufficient at least to give an
intelligent idea of probable total GIN

sion here is that the report will be
something like 11.750O00 bales, and
certain it is that present prices dis
count great deal in the way of a

was reported. none at the lower level.
The local trade is divided in their
opinion as to what the future holds.
Some believe that the spinners having
satisfied themselves as to the size Of
the crop will take their own time in
buying supplies and that as a conse-
quence there is little on which to base
a belief in better prices; others think
the market has been oversold even
should the ginners' report show as
great an amount of cotton ginned as
it is anticipated it will, and that a

The Schoolhouse Loan Fund.

A report was given out to-day
from the Office of the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction which
shows that up to this date the total
amount of loans to counties for the
betterment of lighthouses is $780,
40. The State property by
these loans worth $239,6SO. The
counties have secured 2O9 improved
school houses, LIB of these being
new and the others enlarged and i'm
proved. Of the new ones 116 are
built in accordance with plans fur
nished by the State Superintendent.
The number of counties to which
loans have been made is 81. All the
counties to which loans were made
last August were required to pay the
first instalment of 10 per cent and
interest on the remainder February
1st. Every one paid promptly, the
total amount being $4,44O.-Raleigh

To North Carolina Tobacco Growers.
Progressive Farmer:

/ am ready to take up the work of
organizing Tobacco Growers Inter
State Associations in your State, and
want the cooperation and assistance
of all interested. The farmers are
requested to call a mass-meeting to
be held in each county to perfect
county organizations. Make these
appointments to follow closely in
each county SO as to save time and
expense to me in attending these
meetings. We have the counties in
the bright belt of Virginia in good
shape, an organizer at work in each
county, and clubs being formed every
day. We held a very enthusiastic
meeting at Yanceyville, N. O., on
10Th inst. Some 600 farmers were in
attendance, and the work will soon
be in good shape in Caswell.

Obstacles to the Improvement of Roads
and Schools.
Progressive Farmer :

JOuT paper Is DdCC1lHS 1Or gOOQ rOduS,
good schools, and the establishing of
rural mail delivery, and the construc-
ton of rural telephones. I especially
desire to see our public roads and
public schools improved. Nc one
realizes more fully than I do the
necessity for a better condition of
both schools and roads.
But I believe that before we can
make god roads, we must first have
the system of keeping them up
changed. The present name of
working the public roads, judging
from past experience, will never make
good roads, first, because the law reg
ulating it, as a rule, is not fully en-
forced; second, because it is unfair
to make few classes work and keep
up the public roads while other
classes wear and tear them down.
I, for me-, am ready and willing
to bear my part of the burden of tax
alton to make our roads good. I
would much prefer a "road tax" to a
"mud tax" And I believe I a be-
speak for the majority of the voters
of my county such a preference.
As to the improvement of the pub
lie schools, / am unable to say def
nitely what I would prefer. The
consolidation of the small districts
into larger ones, as suggested by our
State Superintendent, would proba-
bly, operate successfully in some Sec
tons where districts are thickly pop
ulated, but in a sparsely settled terri
tory, as most of ours is, it cur to-
me hat the burden of walking three
miles to school each day would be too
great.
I cannot concur with Mr.. Joyner
in his statement that "any healthy
child can easily walk three miles to
school" I wonder if our Superin-
tendent would be willing for his six
year-old son or daughter to take such
a walk twice each day? I can say for
myself, I am not, especially on a cold,
rainy, or snowy day, and along muddy
roads as we have during winter sea-
son. In reference to transportation,
I would say that is too burdensome
on the parents.
1t does seem to me that If schools
might be much improved while dis
Ntricts remain as they are. Let the
Superintendent urge a more rigid ex-
animation of teachers, which will
force them to more thoroughly equip
or prepare themselves.
Let the State Board of Education
formulate Or prepare a more thor
ough and practical list of questions,
and then see to it that they are an
swered by the teachers before they
are given charge of the schools. I
know teachers Cor pretenders) who
have taught under a first grade GER
tifcate, who failed to solve problems
in Sanford's Common School Arith-
metic.
And it is a dominant practice to

Papers that are Afraid to Stand on Their
Merits.

A reader at Lewisburg, O., was in
duced to subscribe for Modern
Homes" and enter a puzzle contest.
He was notified that he had won the
prize and it would be sent as soon
as he sent in his subscription. He
received n paper, but no prize, and
although he has written to them sew
eral times, can get no answer. He
thinks it is a fraud, and asks what
is best to do. We think he will have
to take his medicine, and never get
caught again by these glittering
bats. He might report the matter
to the Postmaster General at Wash
ington, and let the authorities get af-
ter the concern for wrong use of the
mails. A paper that promises big
prizes for the solution of puzzles, in
order to build up a circulation is
either a fraud or hasn't merit
enough to build up a circulation in a
business way.-Ohio Farmer.

IT is to be regretted that the loe
cation Of the pike as surveyed from
here to Victoria could not be still
further removed from its proximity
to the railroad The News has
made a strong effort to get the Gem
missioners to change the location,
but while they admitted that
change should be made, they claim
a route closer to the mountain
would be more costly owing to the
number of foot hills that would
have to be crossed. A half mile
more will be added to this danger
Gus road by following around Sar
dis hill next to the railroad, max
ing in all about a mile and a half
of road where the pike will be dis
rectly contiguous to the railroad
track, with practically no chances
to escape from the demoralizing ef-
feet of a passing train. This place
has always been the dread of peo-
pie with timld horses. and it seems
unfortunate that it will be made a
