The census brings out the fact that
there is voter to every three Of popu
lation. In Vermont the average is a
voter to every four Of population, in
the United States one in five. Mr. BAN
croft implies that race suicide may be-
come disease in Montpelier.
Montpelier is now being called the
"Holy Land. through curious facts
brought out by the census talSer. Two
Spaniards were found whose names are
Jesus, an Austrian whose surname is
Christ, two persons who were born in
Nazareth and two by the name Of Lord,
one Of whom is the well known lawyer.
Of the population, 5,16S were born in
Vermont, 500 in other states Of the
union, and 1903 in foreign countries.
The gain in five years is about one
hundred more than the present popula-
ton Of ward FIVE. In ten years the
gain is equal to the population now Of
wards four and five; in fifteen years TO
the population of wards three and four;
in % years more than three, four and
five wards. The present population of
wards one and two is nearly as large
as the whole community in 1880. There
are now more men Of voting age than
the entire population in 1850, which
was 2,4o0.

ILLUSTRATIONS IN BLACK.

Former Superintendent of Wake
County Schools w. G. Clements, Gre
ated some amusement and not little
comment last year by suggesting that.
as a phase of the proper education
of the negro, the text books in use in
colored schools should be illustrated
with pictures of negro children In
stead of white faced and flaxen ring
letted children and yellow headed men
and,women.
Mr. Clements idea, that by the use
of illustrations of white people there
was apt to be a tendency to make the
negro child discontented with its
color and it's lot and by that much
plant in it's breast the dangerous
ambition of social equality was con-
sidered fanciful at the time and use
full only as a text for witty editorials.
Now, however. it seems that Super
intendent Clements idea has been
adopted by great publishing house,
and that its biographies are in use in
the CoIored Normal Schools of the
State, with true and life-like Illus
trations. in black.
Which shows that superintendent
Clements was prophet, if not in fact
the originator of a new and doubtless

No Bad Suggestion.
Posi-.

Post.
The suggestion that the peniten
tiary be converted into a hospital for
the insane and that the cOnvicts be
sent to the State farm is not bad. The
penitentiary building is commodious
and at no great expense could be al
tered so as to suit the requirements.
But again rises the question, where
is the money to maintain it coming
from? 1t is almost a certainty that
the next legislature. which does not
assemble for d year yet, will balk at
any proposition to increase taxes, so
fearful is the average legislator of
the effect an increase might have
on his political fortunes. The plan
offered last winter that the State
.ssue bonds in an amount sufficient
to provide for the pressing needs of
our institutions dependent upon the
State for maintenance seems to be
tha most feasible solution of the
problem. Whatever course may be
the State can no longer afford
to delay in masking adequate pro-
visions for the insane.

The News and Observer of December
4th said in an editorial paragraph that
1.-The farms furnish most of the men
who think great thoughts and lead in
the worlds progress" Perhaps this
declaration of our wide-awake city
would admit of a little
modification; but at any rate the farm
ers of this land hold as important
place in our civic economy as any
other class of people. Generally they
are not loud in their claims for recOg-
milton, nor do they parade their opin-
ions or self-impOrtance. All the more
are they to be regarded as a people of
importance; for those who are all the
while striving to make other people
feel their importance could easily
drop out of the procession without be-
ing missed. The good prices of farm
products will have a tendency to keep
many bright and smart young men
on the farm who otherwise would seek
a place for his energies and powers in

A RENEWED FAYETTEVILLE

With the early completion of the
Raleigh and Southport Railway as far
as Fayetteville, that growing and
new-awakened city will be brought III
to close touch with the capital of the
State and, through it. with the West
North and South by competing lin es
That means a great deal for Fayette-
vile and an added impetus to the
steady growth which she has expert
enced of late years. At present, al
though the Cape Fear with its facil-
tiles for water rates in freight does
much to better the situation. Fayette-
vile is hampered by having all of her
railroads under one system. With the
new route to Raleigh and the other
parts of the State and country, with
ultimate competing rail connection
with the coast. the outlook for Fay
etteville is particularly bright.
Time was when Fayetteville was the
practical capital of Eastern North
Carolina. She drew trade from all over
the State. was a distributing and re-
ceiving point in the best sense. The
prestige of those DAYS passed away
with the building of the North Caro-
lima Railroad. For years Fayetteville
was practically dead" Even when,
through the G. F. and Y. V. Railway
she had commenced to recover, an i.
other blow fell with the receivership
for that road during the panic of 1908.
But another period of depression was
only followed by a more determined
awakening Great mills were built
around the town. New enterprises
came in. The water powers and other
advantages of the town and its loca-
tion came into wide appreciation. For
the past few years Fayetteville, which
had a long-feit charm of ease and
lassitude, has been hustling. The city
has been improved. Modern conditions
are being fixed upon ner. 1t only
needs the assured completion of the
competing railroad for Fayetteville 10
take great step towards her ante
bellum importance as one of the first
cities of the State, in trade as we'll 'ts

In a recent issue of the Manufacture
er's Record Mr.. F. r. Rose. of the
Fayetteville Chamber Jf Commerce,
writes of Fayetteville in part as fol-
lows:
Fayetteville, n. c., is on a steady
advance in prosperity and general bu-
siness improvement. The Raleigh IL
Southport Railway is within fcw
miles of our gates on it's way to the
sea. Direct connection will be made
between this and the Icapital of North
Carolina during January or February.
1906. 1t is the intention of this cor
poration to press on to Southport at
once. Southport is about twenty miles
below Wilmington. n. c.. and is des-
tined in the near future to become one
of the most important coaling stations
