GOVERNMENT klDS PACKERS.
Small Packers Must Consolidate to Get
Government Inspection.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 22.-The
United States government, whether it
be the fault of the Department of
Agriculture OF of Congress, IS indi-
rectly but effectively helping the trust.
Laws and the regulations of the de-
partment stand in the way of building
up small slaughtering concerns, the
only effective means there are for
fighting the trust.
The law does not permit the sale
of meat in interstate traffic without
inspection by regularly appointed
government inspectors. Then the
Department of Agriculture refuses to
send inspectors for small shops here
and the result is that the small butcher
becomes an outlaw and the power
Of the United States government is
exerted where it will most effectively
benefit the big beef trust. Small
butchers around Kansas City have
been able to get the government in
spection in different ways, but al
ways at an expense of time and
money, which has encouraged some
of them to take chances with the law
at times.
Appeals for inspection have been
made repeatedly to tht Department of
Agriculture, but always with the same
result. Since the strike another
appeal has been made. To this
appeal Secretary Wilson replies in SO
many words, that they must combine
their interests.

WHEN PORT ARTHUR FALLS.
Russians Will Rush Ships Out of Harbor
Or Sink Them.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-There is
a unanimous understanding here that
if Fort Arthur falls, the Japs will not
get the remnants of the Russian fleet
now harbored there.
Vice Admiral Prince Outktomsky
has been ordered, should the worst
come, to sally forth for a death
struggle, and there is no question
here that these latest instructions
will be carried out both in letter
and in spirit; but if for any reason a
final sortie proves to be impossible,
the admiral is to destroy his ships
and to make certain that their wreck
age shall be absolutely irreparable.

John CahilI Shot.

Kansas City, Aug. 23.-Dr. Ed
ward Chase shot John Cahill through
the chin and neck last night at Shaw
nee, Kans. After the shooting, the
doctor dressed the injured mans
wounds, sent him to the hospital, and
surrendered. He says Cahill called
him out of his house and attacked
him. Cahill can't talk. 1t is said to
have been brought about by an old
grudge.

The Railroad to Blame.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 22-The coro-
ner's jury investigating the train
wreck near Eden, on August It'll,
rendered its verdict Saturday as fol
lows:
The jury finds that the appalling
loss of life and property was due to
the negligence of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad company. Many
reasons are given to show negligence
on the part of the railroad. The
principal one is that the bridge was
not a hrst-class one and should have
been so contracted that it would have
withstood all the water the Arroyo
could accommodate.

Kansas-Colorado suit, said in an in
terview, that it was almost certain
that Jerry Simpson would be New

Mr.. GLENN HERE
In Raleigh on His Way to
to Pittsboro-- Speech
Today.

Cant. Robert b. Glenn, the next
Governor, was in Raleigh for few
hours Yesterday on his way to Pitts
bOro. where he will speak today.
The Governor" arrived on the 1880
Southern and left on the Seaboard
southbound at $3.50.
Capt. Glenn presented the same
hearty, vigorous appearance that ne
had even during the exciting and
DEMONSTRATING days Immediately pre-
ceeding the convention by Whlch ne
was nominated.
Capt. Glenn had no interview to
give out, merely speaking generally OF
the national situation as Delng one
which had in it the elements or loSl-
cal hopefulness, and of the State cam
paign as one in which militant Democ-
racy would appeal for increase OF
strength of the merits of its steward
ship and the promise of its future'
rather than by bitter assault on queS-
lions and conditions, which arising I'M
peratively for settlement in the past,
were now no longer problems In the
political equation. Fully endorsing the
attitude of the party in recent years
and fully realising former necessities,
if would be sought in this campaign to
minimize the excitement of popular
passion and prejudices, which are
more or less inseparable from any po-
litical discussion.
The Governor will be on hand at
what promises to be the greatest DEM
ocratic convention in the history of
Chatham county, and will, of course,
meet with a tremendous ovation from
the stalwarts of that good section.

WATER TANK SITUATION.
No Breakdown ut Cary on Part OF
Either Road or Mr.. Hunter.

A gentleman who was on the train
Saturday evening, which as tod IN
Sundays News and Observer was held
up at Apex by a water-tank on the
track. returned to the city yesterday,
and speaking of the affair said that
the conditions of traffic We're even
worse than they were reported to be in
this papers account of the unique hap
pening.
On either side of Apex, said he, more
than thirty trains were blocked by the
tank before the compromise was eff
fected by which Mr.. Hunter allowed
the tank to be moved sufficiently to
permit the trains to pass on side
track.
1t will be Remembered that Mr.. A.
b. Hunter, one of the Wake county
members of the last General Assembly,
objected to the tank being moved on
his land and when it was slid down the
rails by the Seaboard, he retaliated by
arrested the men who We're doing the
work for forcible trespass.
1t was learned yesterday that the
reason of Mr.. Hunters objection was
that his residence is close to the rail-
road track and the street at the cor
ner of which the road proposed to
place the tank, and that the obstruc-
ton would have been one which he
considered would materially have dam
aged the value of his property.
1t was suggested in some quarters
yesterday that Mr.. Hunter might be
indicted at the instigation of the road
Tor interfering with United States
mail, but it will be observed that it
was not he who blocked the track, but
the employees of the road, the tank
being left where it was by reason of a
magistrates warrant. SO that, if any
one clashes with Uncle Sam it is Your
Daddy Tar Heel
Apex has in the past been a pitiful
field of litigation over right of way"
a notable instance being the case of
one Sturgeon VS.. S. A. L., which is re-
ported in Vol. 125 n. G. Supreme Court
Reports.

pocket and pay gladly for the pleasure,

of the roads, a matter which Mr.. Up

Upchurch paid the fine, remarking as
he left the court that the punch was

Conditions Under Demo

A VIVID CONTRAST
Notwithstanding the Fact that Fusion

From information furnished by
Supt j. Y Joyner there has been pre-
pared for the Democratic Handbook
to be issued by the Safe Executive
Committee comprehensive review of
the educational progress under the
present administration, as compared
with the conditions existing under fus-
ion rule. The two conditions are an

gress of the educational movement I'M

advantages and drawbacks existing I'M
der the Republican regime constitutes

After reviewing the history of public
education in the State and showing
that it had it's inception under DEM
ocratic rule, the collapse of the move
ment under the distressing conditions
and acknowledgement prevailing during
the post bellum period of reconstruc-
ton, its re-vivification in 1876 when

dustrial College, the just regard OF the
State for the colored race by the es-
adjustment of the cOlored normal
schools, and the establishment and inn
provement of the lower schools of the
State, especially in the rural districts.
the comparative expenditures LOT
schoIs under Republican, Democratic
and Fusion rule are taken up in de-
tail.
In 1871 under Republican admin
istration the amount collected Tor
public schools was $115,042.51. In
1872 under the first Democratic Legis-
lature after the war, the fund was IN
creased to $211.239.22 and under a
continued Democratic administration
gradually increased until in 1898. 1t
amounted to $751.60S.
During the four years of Fusion rule
that followed, the school taxes were
collected as they had been levied by
the Democrats, the largest amount col
lected during that administration be-
ing $9SS, 409.11, while in 1899, DEM
ocratic Legislature made a special APP
preparation of 100000 for a four
months term in the public schools.
In 1900 the beginning of the pres
ent administration, the total school
fund was $1,310,327.94. In 1901
another special appropriation of $780,
900 was made by the Democrats to-
wards aiding the schools to maintain
four months term. And, without
increasing the ratio of taxation. the
public school fund, under this admin
istration, has grown over 100000. as
follows: 1901, $1,119, 746.47; 1902,
$1,323,557.72; 1903, 1888, 1OS.4S;
these amounts not including the local
taxes levied by the various special
school districts.
Increase in Length of School Term.
The increase in the length of the
school term throughout the State un-
der Fusion rule, was as follows:
