EDUCATION AT THE SOUTH

One of the features Of the education
al meeting at Pinehurst "Wednesday
was the session Of the state SUPER
ipteplents OF education at which re-
norts we're read by these off1cla'S.
showing the amount of educational
work the southern states are doing.
The showing was remarkable. 1t IS
hard to realize that our southern peo-
pie are able to do SO much in the way
of public education. The fact that
thev are able to do so much for them
selves shows that they do not need
any help If the people of the south
caA raise the money they are now eX-
pending on public schools they do not
need any assistance from Mr.. Og1en
or others from the north. The reports
Of those state superintendent show
that the southern states can take care
Of themselves in the matter of public
education: that they are far from be-
ing objects of charity. We can educate
our own children without aid from be-
yond our borders. Why, then, should
we not do So The moment We ac-
cept foreign aid We put ourselves IN
der obligations to our benefactOrS 10
allow them to have some control over
the matter of education and the class
Of instruction we adopt. We cannot
be perfectly independent in the ed dlca-
ton of our children if We send them
to school at the expense of people 'f
the north. If the latter contribute
to the expense of the schools 1t Is
natural that they should be given some
right to shape the style Of education.
We do not see how that proposition
can be denied We do not see how any
one can claim the south needs fnan-
Cial help in its public school system.
IL it does not need it why should it ac-
ceDt it?

THE SOETH'S HARD LINES.

In making reference to the fact thai
on last Wednesday twelve trans-At
lantic steamships arrived at New York
bringing over more than sixteen thOuS-
and immigrants, the Charlotte Chron-
| icle remarks that ''as none Of the I'M
migrants was destined for southern
cotton mills no trouble was raised
about it"
"Jusso"; had there been among ihOse
immigrants a few hundred who wele
booked for the cotton mills or the cot
ton fields of the south you would have
heard a howl about violation Of the for
eign labor contract law.
The south needs labor. The section
of the country in which ninety nine per
cent Of those immigrants find homes
already suffers from a congestion of
foreign laDor-but the steamship COM
panies and the big railroad lines make
money through this immigration, so
nothing is said The country suffers
from the presence there Of a large pro-
portion of the immigrants of the class
embraced in such immigration, still it
is considered to be all right; at least
it i. winked at; but as soon as men Of
this section of the country attempt TO
ing over few score Of first-class
laborers-of men and women who
would make good citizens-the whole
machinery of the executive and judicial
der artments Of the government ore put
to work to nullify the benefit TO be
derived from their presence, to punish
the men who are instrumental in
bringing them over and to have them
re urned to their former homes.
against the combination Of forces
opposed to immigration to the south
as the only means whereby present ur-
fortunate labor conditions can be bet
tered our section seems Dowerless to
contend: but our people must not be
disheartened. They have rights which
they can make those opposed to them
respect, and if they will show a bold
front and stand up for those rights
they will win. Our people must not
give up their immigration schemes.
They are the salvation of our section

to accept the results of that leS1oia-
ton than to fight it. We believe. the
railroads made a mistake in fighting
the reduction as proposed by the ad-
vocates of lower passenger rates. We
believe that had the railroads come
forward and said to the advocates If
lower passenger rates, I'VE will reduce
rates from IA to 1-2 cents a mil4'
their proposition would have been ac-
cepted and there would not have been
the fight for lesser rates that was wag-
ed in the legislature. The railroads
made the fight and they lost, and un-
they were by the last legislature they
had better not contest tie action of
that body. If they show fight against
its action they may count on more
drastic legislation two years hence.
,, Wouldn't it be wiser for them TO ac-
cept present conditions than to fight
against them with the idea of ameiiCr-
ating those conditions two years hence.
but with the almost certainty Of max
ing them worst? Doesn't a fight in
the courts against a 1-4-cent rate
now mean q 2-cent rate two years
hence?
We suppose the railroad people will
tell US that we are meddling in a mat
ter which does not concern us at all;
that they are competent to manage
their own affairs We admit that they
are and that it is none OF our bust
ness whether they submit to the leg
islative enactment on the passenger
fare or contest the same in the courts;
at the same time we think We know
something about public sentiment ard
We feel sure that if the railroads con-
test this question they will do SO to
their sorrow in the end 1t will he
suicidal policy on their part and we
would hate to see them undertake it.
We hope there is no truth in the re-
port.

SUICIDAL POLICY OF THE RAIL
ROADS.

We are sorry to see it intinlated in
the press news dispatches from Ra-
leigh that the railroads of the state
are going to contest the constitution
ality of the act of the last Legislature
which reduced the passenger rate to
9 IA cents per mile. Our regrets are
not based On any legal grounds. We
leave such points for the lawyers and
the courts We know nothing about
the legality of such law. All We
know is that there is a fight on be-
tween the railroads and the people
and that the latter won out through
their representatives in the late legis-
lature. 1t strikes us that it would be
much better policy for the railroads

C. |. Offices Yesterday

Members OF the Executive Committee
OF the Truck Growers Association
Confer With Coast Line Officials
-COnfcrcnce Was Entirely Satiefac-
tory to all Concerned.
An important conference concerning
the movement of the strawberry >iOp
during the approaching season vas
held at the general offices Of the
Atlantic Coast Line in this city yestCr-
day morning, the conference being
participated in by members of the eX-
ecutive committee of the East Carolina
Truck and Fruit Growers Association
and officials of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad company. 1t was stated alter
the meeting by one of the members Of
the committee that the conference was
harmonius in every way and the out
come entirely satisfactory, the few
matters in dispute having been settled
amicably and the railroad having Slr-
en- assurance of their best efforts TO
expedite and facilitate the movements
of the crops.
The members of the executive COM
mittee who attended the conference
were as follows: Messrs. w. E. Spring.

There had been discussion among the
truck growers recently over an order
made by the railroad company that on
the Cannon BALI train, the through
express to the northern markets, only
cars of 300 crates, as minimum
would be taken. This order was in
part the reason for the conference and
after some discussion the officials con-
sented to give the privilege Of moving
cars with $50 crates as a minimum,
TO all destinations.
On train No. 18. which is known as
the pickup" train, the shipper can
order a car loaded at three different
points, but the load must be of 250
crates minimum. This shipment, 100,
must be from one consignor to one
cOnsignee and after even a minimum
load has been put on, the car will be
closed and no other truck from any
other shipper will be taken on that
car
Several minor matters in regard to
the transportation of the berries to
the northern markets were discussed
and on every subject there was PER
