Master and Man.

Recent developments are causing
the earnest inquiry:
OF the ninety members of what
MIR. Stevenson, of Illinois. once
called, without sarcastic intent,
the most august deliberative body
in the world just how many sit
in the public INTEREST,"
Some, we know. sit for sundry
powerful railroad magnates, others
for powerful industrial kings,
others for the exploitation of land
and mining steals. others for what
ever their votes will bring in such
business" emergencies as may
arise. Again. many sit for THE
party" But who sit for the
peoples
The people of each State can
readily answer the question for
themselves. Let them look at their
two Senators and say: DO these
men owe their offices to u.s. And,
if they don't behave, DO they know
that we will depoSe theml" If the
answer to each of these questions
is a negative the people may be
sure that their Senator's are not
theirs.

For Better Freight Rates.

1.-THE Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company has been summoned
to appear before the State Corpo-
ration Commission in Richmond on
March 9, To show cause why new

lated by the commission. should
not be put into effect. The COM
mission regards As unreasonable
the rates on lumber and it has
served notice on the railroad Off
Gals and the lumber interests of
the State that it will consider an
order annulling so much of said
tariff as relates to lumber and put
ting into effect a new tariff in lieu
'of existing rates.
This will be of interest to lumber
dealers in this section. as there has
been considerable complaint re-

Multiple List Unpopular.

sAPAN HAob OhPVpuAuls
\ storm is brewing in this State
on the text book question. The
multiple list" method has proven
very unpopular with the great
body of the people, on account of
the high prices of the books, the
poor arrangements made for pur-
chasing them, and the sweeping
changes made in many of the
counties.
The county school board of
Prince Edward is on record on this
question. The following extracts
are from the minutes adopted on
February 20. 1904. one year ago,
at meeting of the board called by
direction of the State Board for the
purpose of choosing book COM
mlttee from the teachers and trus-
tees:
The patrons Of the public
schools Of this county are now
paying for Maury's Manual Of
Geography S1.15. while the child
rem of North Carolina are paying
- cents for the same book. The
Elementary Geography is sold to
our children for 80 cents in cloth.
while the children of North Caro-
lima have the cloth binding offered
them for 40 cents. The Primary
Language book used in this county
costs our children 30 cents: the
same book costs the children of
North Carolina - cents. This diff
ference in price exists between
arithmeticS. histories. spoilers, and
other books used in other States
having a single list.
We respectfully protest against
this great hardship placed upon
the patrons of the country schools.
In our judgment this Is an unnec-
esSary and therefore unjust burden
on our people; and in view of the
low prices prevailing for tobacco
1t becomes very serious matter
with the people of Southside Nir-
CHINA. The amount saved TO the
/ people of Tennessee ny adopting "a
single list of books Is stated by the
State Superintendent to be 33 per
cent under former prices. and
there has been no deterioration IN
the merit of the text books if we
accept the statements of the Off
cials. In fact, in several of the
States many of the same books are
used As in Virginia.
As thel school officers of the
people Of Prince Edward county.
we deem it not only legitimate, but
a positive duty. to petition the
I Safe Board To adopt some way toy
which the book publishers may be
made To furnish the books as
cheaply To the children of the
country schools of Virginia as they
now furnish them to the children
of Indiana. Kansas. Georgia. North
/ Carolina. South Carolina. Texas.
/ Tennessee and other States. The
privilege given the counties of
recommending text books To the
State Board cannot off set the loss
of tens of thousands of dollars t.
our people by this costly method
of adoption. 1t Is plain to every
thinking man that If the book pub
fishers must send agents to eacf
county, the salaries. travelling ex.
penseS, and board bills of these
agents must be added to the costs
of the school books and the child.
rem of the State must pay thi,
extra sum.
