WHAT OF OUR PURLIC SCHOOLS

The Outlook 10 Not Encouraxipx-<;ood
Teacher Canuot he secured ss Pres-
emit Prices-wh.s WIN Become OF
our Boys After 1905.
The present outlook for the public
schools Of North Carolina is any
thing but encouraging. Teachers of
experience and necessary qualities
tions in every part Of the State are
leaving the school rooms, and how
could a sane man expect anything
else when an ordinary day iaborer
who never spent dollar for an edu-
cation or a day in school can COM
mand as much pay for his services
as the man who has spent years in
securing an education at considera-
BILE cost Such teachers are now
offered the magnificent (?) sum Of
$25. 90 to S29 90 per month for four
months in the year TO teach our pub
lie schools! Before they can avail
themselves the privilege Of accept.
ing these fancy (?) prices they must
attend the county institute each
year. Out Of the above salaries they
are expected TO board themselves
and in some instances to pay for the
fuel that heats the schoOl-h0uses.
At this rate teachers will soon be
required to pay for the privilege Of
teaching. All this in the face of the
fact that the cost Of living is much
higher today than it was eight or
ten years ago. A salary Of $40 per
month today means no more than
s35 ten years ago. Then today to ask
teachers to work for less than they
did then is unjust and acting in bad
faith.
The voters of North Carolina at
the next election should rise up as
man and elect legislature that will
remedy this evil at all hazards, and
if 1t fails to do so after it gets to
Raleigh the people ought to march
| to the capitol in Coxy's army and
drive every member out as the Mas

the crumbs that fall from the tables
of other institutions. Every session
increases the appropriations, reg ular
and special, to the higher institu-
tions and to the other departments
of government, but when the poor
children of the State knock at the
door of the legislature they are
turned away with the widows mite.
This shameful and outrageous con-
duct should no longer be tolerated.
For once the masses should rise in
their might and demand of the next
legislature that the public schools be
first provided for and that all other
legislation follow, and the man or
party tnat refuses to take this course
should be hurled from power.

Its Lonesome Wanderines Since the Civil
War.
1.-THE Democratic party once de-
clared that it adored the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments it's at
titude is different now, says Tom
Watson in his Magazine. ut once
declared in favor Of greenback cur
rency; then it retired to the middle
ground of free silver then it flew
by telegraph to the single gold
standard"
"BefOre the war it stood for free
trade; after the war for tariff re-
form then for tariff for revenue
only; then for tariff for revenue
with incidental protection then for
sugar bounties then for an act
whose schedules were dictated by
the Trusts.
at once declared against the ma
tional banking system, as Jefferson
and Jackson always did; it has since
rechartered the system and given it,
at the request of Republican
money-king, new feed of bonds.
"The Democratic party once de-
clared against the modern CONNER
cialism which grinds the seed-corn
by sacrificing little children for divi-
dends; it now says nothing of child
labor; and in South Carolina, where
the reformers who get reform inside
the party prevail nightly, child
slavery is seen in all its glory.
cit once cried out against imperi-
alism, the owning a colonial empire
in the Far East where slavery and
polygamy and Sultan establishments
cuddle down under the Stars and
Stripes imperialism which stretches
and weakens our frontier, which ne
cessitates larger navies, which will
necessitate larger armies, aud which
will drag us into the same fatal
course which has been the ruin of
every other republic
"The Democratic party once de-
clared against all this, but when Mr..
Bryan grew tired of camp.life and
the Colonel's uniform, becoming
weary of war in which he was
winning no credit, he rushed to
Washington, made personal appeal
to Democratic Senators, and thus Sc
cured for the Spanish Treaty the ne
cessary votes which gave us imperi-
alism !"-Tom Watson's Magazine.

DEMOCRATIC wHIsKEY.


The Old Nick Williams Distilling
Co. has been holding the boards In
the Federal Court at Greensboro for
several days on the charge OF block
aiding whiskey.
The Raleigh Christian Advocate
commenting on the situation, says:
"Those who were in Raleigh dur
ing the last session of the Legisla-
ture will remember that certain
elegantly dressed, imposing looking
man by the name of Glenn Williams,
was the centre of interest, especi-
ally when temperance measure were
before the Legislators. Only those
gentlemen who had the honor Of be
ing legislators, and doubtless few
others whose business it was to stake
care of the party" know what pleas
for protection were made by MIR.
Williams. He protested that be was
the only reputable whiskey distiiler
in the State, that the business had
come down to him from Revolu-
tionary ancestors, that he absolutely
frowned down on all drunkenness
and immo rality, that no employee
was allowed to drink on the preml-
ses, that the community from a
moral standpoint was model, that
he was one of the party's true and
tried, and that it would be an act OF
monumental cruelty to repeal the
charter of the town Of Williams and
thus cause him to move his business
to another place. and 30 on. well,
this man is now figuring in very
interesting case in the Federal Court
at Greensboro. He is charged with
defrauding the government by SELL
ing large quantities of liquor on
which 20 tax had been paid-ln
other words, running the block"
This same N. Glenn Williams was,
if he isn't now, a member of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee. This is the firm that the
News and Observer said manutac-
tured the whiskey without head
ache. The Observer went SO far as
to say that on one occasion when a
barkeeper got religion the church
members went with the bartender to
his place of business to destroy his
stock of wbiskey, and while they
were knocking the heads cut Of The
barrels 1t was discovered that sew
eral barrels of the Whiskey was
"Old Nick WIlliams' goods, where
upon the church member decided to
save those barrels as it was such
good whiskey in case of sickness
The town of Williams was incor-
porated by a democratic legislature
30 Glenn Williams would not come
under the ban of the Watts law and
could continue to make democratic
whiskey at the same old stand.
But now it seems that this demo-
cratic good whiskey has fallen from
grace and the manufacturer is in the
Federal Court charged with block
aiding and defrauding the govern
ment out of a large sum Of money.
There are also two democratic
magistrates near Raleigh charged
with selling whiskey unlawfully.
The News and Observer has had
much to say about some republican
blockaders, but it has not had sim
gle editorial about its dear friend n.
Glenn Williams and these two demo
cratic magistrates defrauding the
government in the whiskey bust
ness.

Ak ~ again.
Elk Gov. Aycock has been up in
Mary la nd telling them how to vote
on a constitutional amendment, and
we notice from our Democratic ex.
changes that he told them that no
white man has been disfranchised
in North Carolina. Now we don't
like to say that Mr.. Aycock is a
falsifyer. but he was not telling the
truth when he said no white mau
had been DISTINGUISHED in North
Carolina.
1t was estimated that at least
twenty thousand white men were
DISTINGUISHED by the operation Of
the amendment last year. A good
many lost their votes in Davie and
all over North Carolina. Yet, Mr..
Aycock says, None. One Of the
Democratic Senators Of Maryland,
Mr.. Rayner, is against it because it
will disfranchise thousands Of white
men in Maryland. In Virginia,
some counties half of the white men
were disfranchised, and yet these
pure, upright, Christian Democratic
gentlemen told the white people not
one would lose his vote. How long
will such deception be practiced, and
how long will the poor white man
be misled and deceived How long?

The Whiskey Question More Bungling
Legislation.
Among the many special prohibit
tion statutes is one applying to Cum
berland county, which makes the
possession of more than two gallons
of liquor prima facie evidence that
the possessor of so much sowpaw is
engaged in the illegal sale thereof.
This is fairly liberal, much more SO
than the Union county law, which
restricts one to quart, for certainly
the most bibulously-inclined should
be satisfied with two gallons at
time. In Cumberland the law pro-
vides that in the case of illegal
liquor selling the informer may have
one-half the fine. One Evelyn
bought half pint Of liquor from
enc Maultsby, and then reported
Maultsby for retailing. Maultsby
was convicted and fined 500.
Evelyn demanded half the fine.
The Judge who tried the case re.
fused to allow Evelyn a penny on
the ground that under the constitu-
ton the fine belonged to the school
fund, the special statute to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Evelyn ap
pealed. It's pity there isn't some
way to get Evelyn on the chain
gang, for a man who will help an
other violate the law by buying
whiskey from him illegally and
then report him purely for a none
tary consideration is worse than the
first offender.
Later.-A Judge of the Superior
Court held that the statute giving
the informer half the fine was I'M
constitutional, and the Supreme
Court has affirmed his decision
