COMMENCEMENT SIMPLICITY
Is the Graduating Gown or the Essay
the Important Thing Among
Girl Graduates
Girl Graduates

Some OF the graduate schools for
to igittte the question of The grad
uate gown, says the Baltimore
American. Shall the gown BE re-
stored to the simplicity of The days
of the gsan6nothyls. CreAall 1t be,

And surely the graduating occasion
is the time, if there ever is il time.
when the young lady should not be
dependent upon her clothes for
making a favorable impression.
Surely the honofs which the girl
graduate gathers should be more
reflected in the blue mbboned essay
than in the splendors of her gown.
SO at least the special committee
OF The school board of Modem, Mass,
which was appointed for the very
purpose OF passing upon the question
of graduating dresses, seems to have
concluded. The Modem committee
has recognized the difficulties and
intricacies of the problem and has
approached the solution with care
and caution. There have been many
interviews with prospective grad
yates aud with their parents. The
suggestion OF the simple gown,
costing SO. so, does not stir universal
enthusiasm in Modem. In fact, it
Goes not seem to have stirled any
enthusiasm at all. Even the girls
who ate not looking forward TO a
gowning that is magniticently costly,
are yet dleaming OF something that
shall be just as costly as the family
purse can buy. Some of the orders

Even to the simple gown. as an alb

would most likely assent to, that is.

gown were presented in connection
with an abstract graduating girl.
But when the question of debate is
concerning the manner of gown
which She herself will wear on the
momentous occasion, next June, the
girl who will graduate is no longer a
nebulous theorist.

Our readers will remember that
when the mismanagen emit of the
A. & N. G. Railroad was being aired
in some of the papers of the State
that Gov. Aycock appointed a com.
mlttee to investigate the manage
ment of that road. However. q full
report Of the committees finding

legislature yesterday Representa-
tive Cowles introduced q resolution
that the committees report be pub
,ished so that all might read 1t.
The resolution was voted down by
a strict party vote, the democrats
yoting against the resolution. Gov
Ayccck claimed the committees re-
port was for his private use II So,

Governor Glenn in his inaugural
address, expressed more conserva-
tive views on the question of negro
education than he did in his cam
paign. In some of his speeches he
advocated the tax on the property of
the negroes being applied for the ed
ucation of the negroes and the tax
on the property of the whites being
applied for the education of the
whites. He now changes his views
on this question and says he is not
in favor of the tax being distributed
to the negro children pro rata, but
upon a basis suitable to his needs
and condition. In taking this view
the Governor is only following the
plan put into operation by the school
law of 1897 and is now still in force,
in a measure, throughout the State.
So the Governors recommendations
are already provided for fully by
the school law of 1897, which no
subsequent legislature has dared to
repeal, and this law has added more
than one-half million dollars to the
apportionment of the white schools
than was formally applied to that
purpose.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE
TUESDAY.

The AshevilIe distillery bill final.
ly passed its third reading in the
house Tuesday by vote OF "a to 81,
after long and spirited debate. 1t
has already passed the senate, where
it was introduced by Senator Webb.
According to the provisions of
this bill no distillery will be per-
mitted to operate after March 1st in
the city Of Asheville unless its ca.
pacity is at least SO bushels daily.
The fight against the bill in the
house was led by Repr sentative
Feinster of Catawba, whose objec.
tions were that it tended toward
the creating ola monopoly, that it
was un-DemOcratic and inconsistent
with the Watts bill, that it was
strictly matter tor local regulation
and that there Was no Temperance in
it. The discussions on the bill were
from the Democratic side of the
house.
The majority of the house con-
sidered it purely local matter, and
voted for it in courtesy to the rep
resentatives from Buncombe, Messrs.
Murphy and Glenn.
The bill to fix the weight Of a
bushel or corn meal at 48 pounds
and require the labelling of the bags
with the amount and whether bolt
ed OR nnbolted was referred to the
judiciary committee after some lit.
tie discussion as to its constitution
atty.
The senate session Tuesday was
brief, lasting less than an hour. The
only bill that gave rise to any de-
bate was measure by Senator Toms
to encourage growing ginseng, which
he claims will yield $4,000 an
acre, in western Carolina.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
DEMOCRATIC wHIsKEY IN BUN.
COMBE

Some days sgoa bill was intro
duced In the legislature by Mr..
Webb of, Buncombe county, to pro-
hibit any whiskey distillery operat-
ing In the city of Asheville with a
capacity Of less than S6 bushels
daily. The other Asheville
dist llers claim this bill was intro
duced to drive all the small distil
leries out of business and to give to
one distiller the monopoly of the
whiskey business in Asheville.
Wiley P. Black, one Of the distil-
lers who will be driven out of bust
ness, says that he is democrat and
that he furnished 600 gallons of
whiskey 10 the democratic leaders of
BuncOmbe county in the last cam
paign with the understanding that
the whiskey business Of Asheville
was not to be molested. This bill
passed the legislature Tuesday and
will become law March LIST. Mr..
Black charges his party with a
breach of faith and says he will
bring suit for payment of his whis-
key.
During the campaign the demo
Gratis charged the republicans with
using whiskey to obtain votes, but
now it seems that "prohibition"
democrats are the ones that flooded
Buncombe county with whiskey to
buy votes, and besides, if this dis.
tiller's charges are true, they are
guilty of obtaining goods under false
pretense.

Any one who does not believe
that the Democrats are office-seekers
should spend Just . little while
around the legislature and see the
number Ct idle clerks and "Iaforers"
drawing good salaries at the expense
Of the x-Ayers Of the State. There
are twenty pages and over thirty
"laborers" to assist In carrying on
the work Of this legislature. Many
Of the committees that meet only
once or twice week have clerks at
81 per day and mileage. This is
even better than being q member OF
the legislature, as the clerks did not
have the expenses during the cam
paign that the legislators had, and
are even having less work to do
now. There sre entirely too many
pages and laborers employed and
some should be dismissed. There is
no reason why the States treasury
should have to pay of party debts.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to increase the salaries of
Supreme and Superior Court Judges
$1,000. The Superior Court Judges
now receive 81 500 a year and $3.50
for travelling expenses. The last
legislature increased the number of
judges from four to six, costing the
taxpayers $500 extra (some say
the extra plumber Of iq eaaeass oH8 saS ee
count of the great increase in crime
under democratic ''good govern
ment). And this legislature, since
they they could not possibly find
room for any more judges, thinks it
is necessary to increase the salaries
of the present number $1,000 each.
This was one of the very first apprO-
priations bill introduced in this leg
islature. 1t would SEEM that it
would be the best to first provide
for the insane of the State. Many
Of these poor unfOrtunates now

Interesting legal complications may
grow out of repeated Interruptions
of the funeral arrangements for the
burial of Miss Lottie Kinyon, a
young woman who died last Friday
of consumption at Southern Pines,

int red here the following day.
TIE young woman was nineteen
years Of age. daughter Of Capt.
William K,nyon, OF New York, but
formerly Of this city, and she was
sent to Southern Pines six weeks
ago for treatment by a physician
there, it being understood the charg-
es were $40 per week, which amount
it Is claimed was paid by Capt. Kin
yOn. The mother Of the girl aud
her sister were at Southern Pines
when the death occurred Friday,
and all arrangements were made
with an undertaken there to send
the remains to Wilmington for in
terment, but Mrs. Kinyon tele-
graphed her husband, who arrived
here from New York Sunday, that
tho physician claimed over 500
more for treatment and would not
allow the body to be removed until
the amount was paid.
After q vain effort to adjust the
difference by telegraph Capt. Kin
yOn and his brother-in-law, COnsta
BILE w. B. Savage, left this morning
for Southern Pines to take legal
steps to obtain possession Of the
body, and bring it here for burial, ii
being claimed that the attending
physician had been paid in full.
