~ Eight wears ago the farmers of

Politics in Schools.

If once the politicians make up
their mind to improve the public
school system of a State they can
do it as rapidly and as surely as they
can improve its water supply or it's
pavements or any other of the es-
sential necessities of modern life. It
IS great mistake to believe that be-
cause schools are in politics they
are necessarily governed by the same
PRINCIPLES and along the same lines
as some other appointive offices. All
that the people have to do is to make
up their minds that they want an in
creasingly improving school system,
and then let the conclusions be
known, and the politicians will give
them their desires just as soon and
as quickly as they can.-Richmond

MIR. Allison on Cotton.

E,r once the Charlotte cotton
..,.',I.rr Is giving dissatisfaction in
|arrord. In an article in The Times
- r,-,iav. Mr.. John p. Allison says
~C.tton sold in Charlotte yesterday
~ ,rI. Concord s. Our mills ought
=, rr.at us better than that. This
.,,,.-r will force our cotton to other
markets. But this is aside. Mr.
IIIi.ou is writing of the work that
bas been done by the Southern Cot
+.r association. He makes two
,o.iriye claims for it-that it brought
shout an increased price for cotton
and that it caused a material reduc-
r;on in the cotton ACREAGE. He says
rR,t ir is wonderful the amount the
association has accomplished, with
~, money. against the combined eff
for,, of all the bear speculators with
rhr;r wealth. influence and brains, to-
grthrr with the little Smart Alecks
-hr,ughout the country. The latter
,rr very fond of repeating that the
nrr,,ut price of cotton is due to bad
weather. What excuse do they give
for cotton going 612 cents in Febru-
arv to 81 in March, when the lat
fer month was one of the finest on
record for farm work! The recent
rain, have had a fine effect on the
market. by reducing the acreage.
Why should we wait for disaster to
force u. to do what common-sense
,.nrId tcach.' Mr.. Allison thinks
the association should have credit in
q great measure for the present price
Of cotton. He argues that it advised
th,. planters to hold their cotton
VIXEN it was selling at 612 cents,
every one knows that too many sold
at :. IL and 1$4-there were some
who had faith, and are still holding
enough to keep the market from be-
coming gIuttcd. Even last week with
il, large receipts, there were 10000
more bales sold than came from the
farmlrs-rvcn the simple-minded
know that if cotton had been rushed
tn market Il, usual the price to-day
would not bc over > or 6 cents for the
best condition. Mr.. Price (the arch
bcar). said so in flaming advertise
mrur- in Jamuary-and i'll April he
had won the fight, for he scared the
farmers and they were all selling:
and yet to-day he is paving over s
cents. he found some holding out
against him. The holding was to bet
ter the price Of the present crop.
Thi, shows they did much in this
line. The next advice of the associ-
alton. he says. was to reduce the
acreage. That has been a greater
>ucce>, than the bears want to be
Iicyc," hr says, and they are trying
ro make il appear that the rains are
doing Il all, and this is where tht
Drl2a, H.~.-acres of the country get
IN Jlcr work of discouraging the
faithful. One encouraging feature
oI the haj weather is that the people
who have reduced acreage are better
able To- take care of their crops than
those Who have not."-Charlotte

Petition on Setting off Craig's Point
from Winthrop Giver a Hearing.

State printing again had its innings
in both branches of the Legislature
Wednesday morning. Senator Staples
OF Knox objected to the amount to be
appropriated for State printing for the
next two years, which the committee
Oh financial affairs recommended in
the -irst general appropriation bill The
committee recommended So, 900. the
amount that is regularly appropriated
by the Legislature. but Senator STABLES
considered thar this item should be
tabled until after the report of the
committee on State printing. This
led to a discussion between Senators
Staples and Putnam. chairman of the
committee on appropriate and tinan-
Cial affairs. the latter saying that the
recommendation of some amount was
imperative. Upon this Senator Staples
moved that the sum of $40. 900 be sub
stituted for the $4,000. Although sup
ported by Senators Gardner of Pcnob-
scot and Pniloon of AndrOscoggin, the
motion did not prevail.
