OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Il was intended, at the meeting of the
IoWn Council held Tuesday to vote a suffi.
Gent tax to carry the school nine months,
ana the failure to do this was not due to any
lack OF support on the part of the members,
out to question of legal right. It may be
depended upon, however, that the Council
Will find ways and means for the support of
the school, and the doubt of financing nine
months school has disappeared, as well as
the contemplated pay term.
One OF the best advertisements of the sub
stantial standing and progressiveness of a
community is the interest shown by its peo-
pie IN the cause of education. With this
statement undisputed, it is pleasing to note
the attitude of the Mayor and Town Council
j IN bridging over the difficulty that was SO
menaclng to the success of our school,
! The best method of supporting our schools
IS by taxation, and if possible this method
Z should be pursued. 1t is much better dis
! position of the matter than the raising of
funds by private subscription, because it
gives an immediate certainty as to the status
OF the school and faith in it's ability to carry
out its contracts, while at the same time it
'enforces an equitable distribution of the
support of the school among those who are
able and should be willing to bear the ex-
pense.
1t is true that some property holders may
have no children and that some parents who
send children to school may have no prop
erty, but the system is in accordance with
the best interest of all the people. Those
who are possessed of the means to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities of life should
not shirk the duty of assisting the less for
innate child to become useful member Of
society.
Aside from the duty that man owes to So
clety, there are reasons why good schools
should be supported that will appeal to those
who consider only the material side Of the
question. AS Superintendent Harris re-
marked in his talk on the school question at
the pavilion last Friday land is valuable in
proportion the enlightenment and education
of its inhabitants. This is a comprehensive
statement that carries its arguments on the
surface. In fostering education the proper
ty-holder is adding value to his possessions,
and the man who has no children to send to
school is building up conditions that give to
life its greatest happiness and contentment
health and opportunity for getting the
best our of life that there is in it.
In examining the courses of study in our
high schoolas, Superintendent Harris was
highly pleased, and remarked that if art
and music could be added we would be en-
titled to membership in the approved or affili-
ated high schools which would place US
among the very best in the State.

their takings up to date are only 67,-
600 bales less than last year,, and
prices ranging now about $50 a bale
higher than at the corresponding date
last year. This, to my mind, Is quite
convincing that they have only taken
this large quantity at the beginning of
the season because they actually need
ed 1t.
1t is frequently said that nigh
prices check consumption. l differ
somewhat from the majority OF the
people on this point. Prices are only
relative, and l firmly believe that the
consuming world is now In better
condition financially to buy goods
were a few years ago when goods
were made out Of Scents cotton.
If cotton was available this year,
the consumption might run con-
siderably above 13,500,000 bales as
a great deal more cotton Its being
used this year on account Of wool SELL
ing at double the price it was at this
time last year. There are certain
grades Of wool that were selling at 20
cents a pound last year, that are now
selling at over 40 cents. You can sub
stitute cotton for wool, linen and silk,
but you cannot substitute anything fcr
cotton; hence the world must have cot
ton, even If it has to pay much higher
prices than those ruling today, which
believe it will have to do based on
purely a supply and demand basis, and
my advice to spinners Is to protect
themselves as early as possible, by buy
ing their supplies to run them until
the end of the season. A word to the
cotton growers In my Judgment they
will do we'll to market slowly what they
have left, as I expect much higher
prices"

1T appears that the widely published
story to the effect that Mr.. Bryan de-
sires to make a paramount issue of
national prohibition is without sub
stantial foundation. In the last issue
Of the Commoner. we find the follow
ing: For the benefit Of Mr.. Waiter
son, to whom ill-natured conduct is
peculiarly unbecoming, and Of the otn-
er editors quoted. 1t may be said that
Mr. Bryan does not expect to see pro-
hibition a paramount issue in national
politics. If 1t ever comes, 1t is not
likely to be in Mr.. Bryan's day. Mr..
Bryan may, however, be truthfully
credited with a desire to assist in Sc
curing for the several states absolute
and exclusive control over the liquor
traffic, including control over all ship
ments of liquor as soon as they enter
the state. 1t will be interesting to see
how some Democratic editors will ex-
plain their opposition to the good old
Democratic doctrine that the state
ought to be allowed to attend to its
own business"

Sandifer in the line. White, by his
long gains around the ends, assisted
by Witherspoon's lin smashing plunS-

and Sandifer accomplished some beau

TIE crowd in control of the specu-
lative cotton market could put prices
at anything they like, if it were not for
the fact that the spinners have been
so reluctant to follow the figures. In
stead of buying freely on the basis of
future prices as heretofore, the spin
ners have been holding back as firmly
as possible. Advance in the price of
futures has had tendency to bring
spot cotton to New York and the bulls
have had to guard against this as
much as possible. They were not in
a position to take care Of all the spots
that might be offered

rate book of instruction to enumera-
tors supplements the schedule infor-
nation. The nine million copies will
consume 4,500 reams of paper, which
counting fifty-two pounds to the ream,
will make a weight Of $4,000 pounds.
The charge for printing, including
the cost of paper, will be $4,000.
The schedule is so standardized that
it will feed on the perfecting press
used at the government printing
office, which makes 5000 revolu-
tions per hour and prints four sched-
ules each revolution, or a product OF
$4,000 per hour, as against the old
flat-bed presses used on the 1900
schedule with a speed Of from 1900
to 1900 revolutions per hour. 1t
will take about three weeks to print
them with the press running sixteen
hours a day.
