SAD DEATH IN ENFIELD.

Mrs. Lila McLln Bell, wife of Mr..
David Bell, died in Enfield last week.
Mr.. Bells many friends throughout
the State deeply sympathlze with him
in his sad affiction.
The Roanoke News, among other
things, said of her:
''Mrs. Bell was one of the purest wo-
men the writer has ever known. She
was superior woman in every respect,
the highest type of Christian character,
loveable and sunny in disposition and
her husband and children were objects
OF her tenderest sollcitude. She was a
woman of great mind and of true and
loyal heart, and in her death the CON-
munity has sustained loss that Is ire
parable; her husband belpmeet that
wac ever tender, loving and true; her
children the noblest and best of moth
ers and her neighbors and friends one
whose hand was ever open to aid and
help in every good work.
"She leaves besides a husband, fou,
children, three boys and ore girl, and
numerous relatives and friends in
various parts of this and other states"

to US to-day. We asked why and he
said that on the 11th page of Sunday :
edition it said: Scotland Neck in
mourning" and then quoted items
from The COMMONWEALTH last week
which told OF the death OF a horse, a
mule and COW.
Well, If that heading about mourn
ing in Scotland Neck oyer the death
of three noble animals was intended by
the News and Observer to guy this
paper about the quality of news Ii
prints, we respectfully refer it to its
own columns now and then when it
gets so hard up for news it has to tell
about William goat cart being turn

the running away Of some little one
horned steer, and crumpled horn at

get off about Chatham rabbits. And,
too, ia trying to make light" of the
mourning over the death of the three
noble animals mentioned in this paper,

has not lost three subscribers. Folks

feelings made light of nor their posses-

THE MODERN FARMER.

The farming life of today as COM
pared with that of even twenty-five
years ago is a paradise of comfort
and convenience. The lonely log
house, remote from market and devoid
of advantages that comparatively
short space of time has made possible,
would scarcely appeal to the present
day farmer.
The twentieth century soil tiller has
many of the modern comforts. His
mail is delivered daily, he has tele-
phonic connection with the markets,
and his house is of recent architecture
and well furnished
The continued growth and progress
of this great country, ever cause OF
wOnderment, has no greater exemplii-
cation than evolution on the farm.
Already the farmer is becoming the
most enVied of men-the freest, the
healthiest, the happiest.

THE FRANCHISE TAX.

There will be no more discussion
relative to the constitutionality of the
franchises tax laws of the various states.
A case that was carried to the supreme
court by a number of corporations has
been decided by that tribunal, which
holds that franchise tax is valid, and
not in contravention of the supreme law
of the land. 1t has been a mooted ques-
ton all along, many corporations
holding that tax on franchises was
without constitutional warrant.
1t now being established beyond all
doubt that the law is constitutional
the states will proceed without any
trouble to collect taxes under it. In
Georgia the franchise tax law enacted
by the legislature two years ago has
paid into the public treasury quite a
sum of money.

DAWSON, GA, JUNE IA, 1905.
BOYS. GET AN EDUCATION.

At Dublin, in this state, all the mail
carriers, appointed after cOmpetl-
tive examination under civil service
rules, are negroes. Several young
white men tried the examination and
failed to make good. In similar con-
tests several negroes in Georgia have
been given rural carriers places over
white men. Such a state of affairs
does not reflect any credit on the
white race in this state. It's existence
sounds note of warning. We must
wake up on educational lines.
As never before the negro is reach
ing out for an education. Negro chill
dren are wearing scanty clothing and
eating nothing but corn bread in
many instances, but they are going to
school. Negro colleges are receiving
a bountiful patronage. The coming
generation of that race is going to be
pretty well educated And we all
know what education gives to man.
There is hardly a white child in
Georgia who is not able to be given a
common school education, but there
are hundreds who are being allowed
to grow up in ignorance. In our own
town a large majority of the boys
never finish the high school, even; not
because they have to quit, but because
they want to quit. They want a job
that will bring them in dollars
''let the brain training go to thunder"
What is educational accomplishment
compared to money making?
Education enters primarily into the
continued supremacy of the white race.
Civil service rules land every branch
OF the government is being covered by
them more completely each year, don't
recognize color. If a negro stands
highest he gets the place. Over
white man? Yes. And whose fault is
it? The white man who has allowed
his educational qualifications to be
triumphed over by those of the negro.
Boys, don't quit school until you
have to. Fathers, don't let your boys
quit school unless you are compelled
to. Will we let the Negroes ambitions
be stronger than our own, and the ne
gro's attachments triumph over ours?
impossible? How about the instances
cited above? Unusual examples?
Bad enough at that, but won't similar
conditions produce similar results
elsewhere? 1t has already happened
more than once. What's to hinder it
happening again and again, unless the
white man can show his educational
superiority?
Boys, stay in school.

THE WATERWOKs QUESTION

The News believes, like great
MANY Others, that settlement between
the city and the waterworks company
would be welcomed generally by the
people of Dawson If it is possible
for the city and the water company to
reach an agreement in the matter OF
the proposed purchase OF the plant
and payment of back rentals, on terms
that will do justice to both the people
and the company, it is to be hoped
thew will enter into such compromise
without delay.
The recent conferences between rep
resentatives of the two interests were
productive of nothing in the way OF
settlement, and if the disagreement
continues more litigation will in all
probability be the result. The News
is mot an expert on waterworks sys-
tens, and knowing nothing of the fine
points and details that enter into the
contentious of both sides can venture
no opinion as to which, if either, is
unreasonable in its demands, but we
do know that the people of Dawson
are tired of long and expensive litiga-
ton, and do not want any more of it
if it can be avoided.
Let us hope that the waterworks
company, fully realizing the rights of
the city, and the council, with due re-
gard for justice to the company, will
reach a satisfactory understanding
and the present armistice be turned
into permanent peace.

A PROMISE OF PEACE.

Russia and Japan have both agreed
to President Roosevelt's proposition
that the warning nations appoint plen-
ipotentiaries with power to arrange
terms of peace. Details of the meet
ing have not been arranged, but the
hope in diplomatic circles is strong
and confident that it will achieve the
presidents expectations, and, in his
words, result in the peace for which
the whole civilized world prays,"
The success of the efforts of Presi
dent Roosevelt to get Russia and
Japan together for the purpose of ad-
justing their differences is the cause
OF rejoicing throughout the world.
The destruction of life and property
in the war has been appalling, and
right thinking people feel the time
has come to do whatever can be
done in behalf of peace. President
is being very generally
commended for the delicate and effect
i've manner in which he has handled
the matter.
