Text Books as Message Of Peace.
News and Observer.

1t is gratifying to see that the Bos-
ton Journal of Education, the lead
ing educational publication of New
England. sees merit in Southern tai
ent in the production OF school
books. as is expressed in the follow
ing editorial in the October number:
in this era of good feeling, when
President Roosevelt is greeted by 100
600 men enthusiasts at Atlanta, it is a
good time for the North to greet the
first great school book publishing house
of the South, the b. r. johnson Com
pany of Richmond, that has been max
ing such acceptable books that they are
used in the North as we'll as in the South.
Americas future domestic peace de-
ponds in no small degree upon the use OF
know no prejudice. positive or negative.
The West Virginia Hills ought to be
sung from Maine to Oregon: Dixie
ought to keep pace with The Battle
Hymn of the Republic, in Boston and
Charleston. 1t was never more true
than in this connection, that if we train
the children in the patriotic way in
which they should go, they will not de-
part from it. The South and the North
must dwell together for all time. There
will never be another thought OF dis
union. 1t is equally true that if one sec
ton suffers all sections will suffer with it.
The greatest of all needs is that we
should dwell together in unity.
The fact that a large portion OF
the books commended were written
by North Carolina authors makes
the Journals expressions of peculiar
interest to the people of this State.
We recall among them Dr.C. Alphon-

The Negroes Best Friend.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The best friend of the negro is the
Southern white man. He knows the
Negroes needs, his capabilities and his
capacity, and, therefore, is the best
Judge of the best means to reach him.
That the white men of the South
are earnestly interested in the we'll
fare and uplifting of the negro was
evidenced by the action of the Pres
byterian Synod of North Carolina,
which has Just closed its sessions at
Red Springs. This body was COM
posed of preachers and laymen, rep
resenting the great Presbyterian
Church of North Carolina. which has
always been conservative, but pro-
gressive.
When the committee on cOlOred
evangelization reported it was found
that the contributions to this cause
had decreased within the last three
years 20 per cent, and Dr. d. Clay
Lilly. of Winston, who made the re-
port for the committee, stated in
closing his remarks that the Church
could not continue to be insensible
to such Il cause without losing
something that is great and funda-
mental
DIR. Fl. G. Hill, of Maxton, said:
"The personal consideration places
the Southern people under special OBJ
legations to evangelize the negroes.
They are in our homes, in our farms
Patriotism demands that this large
element of our citizenship be elevated
and purified. Not only duty and
kindly feeling, but self-interest, calls
for it. The religious obligation, 10y
atty to Christ. and the great commits
sion demands that the Gospel be
preached and taught to the negro.
After these speeches one Thousand
dollars was quickly raised. This i:
just one incident of how much the
white men of the South are thinking
and working to take care of their for
mer slaves. We have not as mucl
money perhaps as the Northern phi
lanthropistssto devote to this cause
but in our opinion, one thousand dol
lars raised and spent by the South
ern man does more good towards up
lifting the negro and making the re
lations between the two races NOR
harmonious and peaceful than al
the millions that Ogden and his as
sociates could spend in years.
The South has the problem, ant
the sooner the Northern ranters fint
that it is best to let us solve it tn
better for both races.

North Carolina are apt to believe
that we have suddenly come into the
land of milk and happiness and honey
and vet all that he says is true and
all OF us ought to have known 1T be
fore. 1t has been an unusual, II glO-
rious year 1t was a season OF peace
and plenty. 1t was prosperous era
for capitalist and the wage-earner:
for the merchant and the farmer and
for all who live within the confines OF
the Old North State. There was
nothing to bring distress, and our
hearts are glad. Our people have
been peculiarly blessed. They have
lived upon the richness OF the earth
and as they become greater and
more prosperous they thought ofthe
more serious things OF life, and think
ing, they have endeavOred to make
Others less fortunate more content.
In every line of industry there was
ample reward There has been no
strife. no friction, no disturbance OF
any kind and we have gone forward
and upward, helping always to up
lift our fellows And not the least OF
our blessings is the eelingthat North
Carolina is growing good, growing
in sobriety and temperance, i'll educa-
ton, in morality. Gov. Glenn's word
picture is succinct and honest. lie
has not attempted to add the colors
to make it more attractive, for there
is glory enough i'll the truth, there Is
glory enough in the record. AnC
with the memory of all these bless
ings fresh in our minds and hearts
we ought to do honor to the day
and in so doing we will honor our
selves.

elites having originated in his green
houses. Among the popular garden
roses which he produced are the
"Climbing Meteor" a climbing varie-

which have been sold to catalogue
houses and named by them. He has

listed by fiower-sellers next spring. He
recently exhibited in Washington the
"F. IL. Kramer" carnation-a deep
pink sort-which many well-known
florists have declared to be the equal
of either the Lawson or "Fiancee."
He states that no plants of the
Queen Beatrice" rose will be ready
for distribution before the spring of
1907 during which time a large sum
of money will be expended in the

NO TURKEY STUFFING?
Christmas Dinner Incomplete With

The latest and most obnoxious
crank in tn ~gastronomic line is that
deluded epicure who asserts that
Christmas turkey must be served
without "stuffing." He says it is an
anomaly, a thing without reason, an
insult to the completeness of the
bird. He even declares that it de-
tracts from the sweet flavor and deli.

Thus he thrusts himself into the pub
lie arena. a most unwelcome butter

fall of an historic institution. He is
not a true American. He has never
tasted "stuffing as mother made it
the real Simon-pure article, spooned
out of the deep recesses of the royal
bird in great crumbly masses that fill
the room with rich aroma and the
heart of man, woman and child with
joy unconfined.
1t is the soul of the turkey. is stuff

American sentiment is universal.
The only question is: How much does
one dare to eat? And then that en-
traneing. sagey odor, from the mys-
terious "yarbs" that enter into the max,

over new mown hay-as delicate as
the fragrance of orange blossoms on

addition, we shall catch the sublime
suggestion of an onion, waited into
our quivering nostrils. and recalling
some dear departed maternal spirit
who ministered to u boyish wants

Not while there is breath to sound a

blend the work of nature and man

Providence. That's what gave us
"stuffing;'' and until the heart of mar
grows cold,-until the race loses its
teeth and lives on pills and tablets

THE PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS.
PRESIDENTS PUBLIC LAND COMMISSION RECON-
MENDS RADICAL CHANGES IN LAWS.
Richard Hamilton Byrd.

Three men went out west to seek
their fortunes. One located in the
Middle West-not the Middle West,
perhaps, as it is generally known,
but the central section of the west
ern half of the United States-in the
desert country. He started his sue
cessful career by taking up a govern
ment claim under the desert-land act.
He was in the cattle Countrywide
COW country-and he made his strike
in cattle.
His friend went further north, still
in the desert area, close to the Cana
dian line-in the sheep country. He
took up a government homestead
claim and committed it.
The third mar went into the far
northwest-the Oregon country of
Lewis and Clarke-and he took up a
government timber calm. He located
in a land where numbering was done.
And these three men became great
cattle and sheep and timber kings,
and incidentally landlords; and their
operations while widely different
were singularly similar. They filed on
their government claims and at the
earliest possible moment each man
proved up and sold out" for cash to
larger land grabbers. And so they
learned the mode and got their start
toward land grabbing themselves.
The desert entryman was supposed
under the law to live at least three
years Oh his 800 acres and TO expend
during that period $500 in construct
ing irrigation bitches and other i'm
pro,.n,a,pf. md V,aI-o ~ III, Aa-n.
This was what was promised for the
law when it was slipped through
Congress. As a matter of fact, this
mar spent a day with a team making
a fake irrigation reservoir and then
another day running a couple of fur
rows around the land, making oath
that this constituted an irrigation
system for its reclamation. Then
within six months he proved up"
made the required payments to the
government, and secured a patent to
his land.
The homestead entryman, who, IN
der the law, must reside continuously
on his claim, erected a slab, one-room
shanty. 10X12 feet and during n per-
iod of fourteen months slept in it just
five times. This was the extent of
his home making. Then he, too, made
oath of what he had not done, offered
the required payments to the govern
ment and secured title to his land.
The timber entryman went into the
finest timber section of the United
States-the dense forests of the far
northwest-and under the timber and
stone act, selected 160 acres of land,
the timber standing upon which was
worth $75 an acre, and swearing that
he wanted it for his own personal use,
purchased it from the government at
the fixed price of $3.50 an acre and
Immediately disposed of it. So that
within fourteen months these three
men had secured from Uncle Sam an
aggregate of one square mile of gov
eminent land for their OWL benefit
and use as homes, and sold it out to

Various articles have been tried by
clever but INSCRIPTIONS people to OBJ
tain specimens of the Queen Beat
rice rose, many coming into the
Kramer establishment where a huge
bouquet of the blooms was on exhibit
ton, offering to purchase at large
prices a single flower for a bouton-
Mere. Others have gone so far as to
order elaborate funeral designs with
the proviso that nothing but this par
ticular kind of rose be used. These
were only lodges to obtain the healthy
wood for slipping and growing, for
the best time to make rose cuttings is
either just before or Immediately after
the plant comes into bloom.
One Washington florist who origi-
mated the "Iyory' rose-a handsome
white flower. and a sport of Golden
Gate"-was unwise enough to sell cut
flowers, thereby enabling the purcha-
sers to propagate the variety cheaply.

No nation has ever been 30 reckless
or has been Sc mercilessly robbed of Its
public land resources as has the United
States. Since the early history OF
the republic, land in vast tracts has
been granted to individuals n cor

attention which of late years has been
directed to the matter, the absorption
goes ON at an alarming rate. 1t
seems difficult for the man who has

that there is any good reason why he
