MANY VESSELS STRANDED.
Government. Will Have to Clear Away
 27 Wrecks This Season.

Washington, March 10-Some idea of the severity of the winter season jus drawing to a c.ose may be gath cred from the fact that the Navy De- partment Is now confronted with the necessity of seeking out and promptly destroying no less than twenty-sevan ocear derelicts, which are lying in the great ocean lanes from Santiago to Newfoundland, anc endangering ship ping entering and departing from our Atlantic ports.
 The presence of these floating wrecks has been reported to the hy- drographic office by incoming vessels. The last Congress provided that one vessel should be set apart for this special service, and 1t is probable that the Lebanon, a 3000-ton collier, will be fitted out for this work at the Portsmouth, N.

charges that the railroads are OPP
posed to the educational policy pro-
mulgated so ably by Governor Aycock
and superintendent Joyner, and in a
spirit of small spite they deprived the
superintendent of transportation priVl-
leges, compelling him to pay full fare
as he goes from place to place stirring
the people on the obligation they are
under to enlarge and extend the public
school system. The reason alleged for
this conduct on the part of the rail-
roads is that they are unwilling to pay
the school tax in towns through which
their lines run, and so use their in
f1uence to defeat the movement for
more and better schools. This is not
the first time we have heard this COM
plant and we fear it is true. We are
i'm favor of Justice for the railroads,
which are often the victims of preju-
dice and greed, but if these allegations
be true, they are worthy of the Sc
verest condemnation. We are hard
down on citizens who object to paying
the school tax, when no other agency
in the community has so much to do
with the enhancement of property
values; but how much more culpable
is a railroad corporation to stand in
the way of the general progress when
they are the first and greatest benefi-
Charles of the prosperity of the public {?
We honor Mr.. Joyner. who, i'm his zeal
for the advancement of the great
work committed to his hands, buys
his ticket and goes along with his
ticket and goes along with his work
anyhow. 1t is a short-sighted policy
for a railroad by this petty business
to attempt to throttle the mighty
movement that is sweeping over the
State. The withdrawal of a pass is
rather too small a thing to stay this
rising tlde The schools are being es-
tablished and the railroads must paw
their due proportion of the taxes
whether they like it or not. Their
anmity toward men like Messrs. Jov-
ner and Aycock, for this cause is q
decoration of honor.

The old grocerman was sitting IN

ing, looking over his accounts, as they
were written on quire of brown
wrapping paper with blunt lead
pencil. and wondering where he could
go to collect money to pay note that
was due at the bank at noon on that
day. He was looking ten years older
than he did the year before, when the
Bad Boy had played his last trick on
the old man, and gone abroad to
chaperone his sick father, in q search
for health and adventure. The old
man had missed the boy around the
grocery. and with no one to keep his
blood circulating, and his temperature
occasionally soaring above the nor

read with mixed feelings of JOY fear
and resentment that the Bad Boy
and his dad had arrived home, ana
ne knew it could not be long before
the bow would blow in, and he was
trying to decide whether to meet the
boy cheerfully and with a spirit of
resignation. or to meet him with a
club; whether to give him the glad
hand. or form himself into a column
of four to drive him out when he
came.
