For Tubercular Children.

Separate schools for tubercular
children may be established in Phila-
delphia in the near future. The new
school code specifically prescribes
that children suffering from tubercu-
losis cannot be admitted into the pub
lie schools and at the same time pro-
vides for the compulsory attendance
of all children between the ages of
six and sixteen years. 1t is the opin-
ion of the educational officials that
the only solution of the problem is
to set aside special schools for the
use of the tubercular pupils Medi-

Method OF a Snake KILLING DOG.

Edward Mccoy, of this city, who is
in charge of a gang Of men engaged
in peeling bark on the mountains adj
jacent to Granville, reports that Tow
ser, the camp dog, killed six foot
blacksnake yesterday. The dog is a
peculiar specimen, with the trait of
kindness to children, but loathing a
snake.
The dog circled round and round
his coiled up snakeship just beyond
striking distance, darting backward
and forward as opportunity appeared
to afford, until finally the snake was
caught off its guard, and grasping it
back of the neck he shook it as a
terrier would rat. On examination
it was found that the reptiles back

When she saw how sad her master

He looked at her as she stood
there, tall and strong, her firm round
arms on her hips. Her face was full
of pity, but strong like that Of a
woman who does not want to betray
her feelings. Chaguy thought she
had never looked as beautiful as now.

She left the room.
He turned little in his chair, but
almost howled with pain. He looked
through the window across the field.
1t would take many days to pillow

nothing. Who was to pillow the long
burrows across the fields and throw
out the seed for new harvest?

Suddenly he heard a voice in the
stable-it was Jeannine: Hello,
Gray, get up, now-come on, now,
Charlotte!
What did that mean? Did Jean

never work, although she had tried
often enough in fun. Gathering all
his strength, he succeeded in raising

the window he saw Jeannine making
the first furrow. He was almost

looked behind the pillow, with her

about her head, and her young, firm

A PROCLAMATION.

by the Governor Designating November
25th as Thanksgiving Day.
1t is an old and beautiful custom
established by our forefathers many
years ago to set apart each year day
OF special prayer and thanksgiving for
the many blessings received.
Therefore. 1, r. 8. Vessey, Governor
of the State of South Dakota, do here
by designate and appoint Thursday.
November 25, 1909, as day of general
Thanksgiving, and request that it
be observed as such throughout the
Commonwealth.
The year 1909, for South Dakota, has
been most wonderful year and as it
draws towards the close it is fitting
that the people Of the state should re-
joice and be thankful for the eminenoe
which our Commonwealth has attained:
for the wonderful development Of our
resources, and for the material prosper.
ity which has come to us.
Earth has been gracious IN giving
from her store, bountiful haryests
have been reaped, and our mines have
yielded generously.
Throughout the state there is
general awakening to the responsibility
Of citizenship, to higher standard Of
public morals, and to the most whole.
some regard for the dignity of the law.
Let us be thankful, also, that no
pestilence or dire calamity has befallen
our beloved state and, while We render
thanks for the many blessings vouch-
safed to us, let US not forget those less
fortunate than ourselves.
IL is becoming for us at this time to
take some thought of the manner In
which we are performing our part In
conserving, for the use of future
generations, the provisions which the
Almighty has placed in our hands, as
His custodians. The streams, the
timber, the soil and the mineral and
fuel deposits have been entrusted to
us, not to be despoiled, but to be con.
served and passed on to future genera
IlonS, AS llCtle depleted and IN as good
condition as is consistent with our
intelligent use.
Let US, on this day, offer our thanks
to the Giver of all good for our spirit

us trust Him, even as our fathers trust.

THE MOST VITAL AND FUNDA-
MENTAL PRINCIPLE OF LOCAL
sELF-GOVERNME

The Savannah Morning News, In
an editorial welcoming President
elect Taft to the South, goes on to
say that while Taft is welcomed, yet
his coming will not do much to in
crease the Republican vote in the
South, because the Southern people
are welded to the principles of the
party of Jefferson, Jackson and TIL
den"
The Charlotte Observer clips the
editorial, and in reply says:
Why the party OF Jefferson, and
Jackson and Tilden" and not of Bry-
an, its latest candidate? And those
underlying principles; which of those
principles that Jefferson and Jackson
and Tilden that the present-day con-
Germ has not departed from? It's
leader, Mr.. Bryan, himself stands for
but one of them-that the most vital,
the fundamental principle of local
seH-government-an his party in
the South Is out of harmony with
him on that.
What is the Democratic party any
how, and where is it? We grope.
If our valued Savannah contempor-
airy can point the way out of the will
derness The Observer for one will
feel obliged.
1t is well known that the Observer
Is not an ardent admirer of Mr.. Bry-
an, but it Is noticeable that the OBJ
server admits that Bryan does stand
for one great principle of free
government for which the Demo-
cratic party formerly stood, namely,
the most vital, the most fundament-
al principle of local self-govern-
ment"; but at the same time the
Observer is forced to admit that the
Democratic party in North Carolina
has itself deserted this most vital
and fundamental principle of a gov
eminent for, of and by the people.
The Republican party in North
Carolina threw away the greatest op-
portunity that any party ever had
when it failed to declare squarely for
this principle in it's platform at Char
lotte last summer. 1t is to be hoped
that the Republicans in the next leg.
islature will lose no opportunity tc
make amends for that mistake at the
Republican convention, and it is fur.
Their hoped that the next Republican
State Convention will again gel
squarely on this great doctrine with
both feet.

10000 SUBSCRIBERS.

The circulation of The Caucasian
has been increasing at very graft
flying rate, but we want 10000 sub
scribers and we must have them.
The Caucasian is the only Republi-
can weekly paper published at the
State Capital, and it is the only one
that circulates in every quarter of
the State.
The party needs a first-class State
weekly paper and The Caucasian is
determined to supply that want. We
intend to improve and enlarge the
paper. We will make the paper bet
ter each week and when we reach
5000 subscribers we will double it's
size. Help us to reach that figure
soon and then we will be able to con-
tinue to make improvements. Re-
member we want and must have TO-
900 subscribers.

A NEW YORK LIBEL SUIT.

A few days ago, John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., brought suit against W.
r. Hearst's paper, The New York
American, for damages for alleged
libel, and, at the same time, brought
an action against Mr.. Carvalho, the
president Of the publishing company
which publishes the New York Amer
lean, for criminal libel.
The newspaper report states that
Mr.. Carvalho was informed of the
swearing out of the warrant, and at
his convenience was consulted as to
when there should be a preliminary
hearing, and that a date about ten
days in the future was agreed upon.
This Is a very different proceeding
from what it would have been If Mr..
Rockefeller had sworn out a warrant
for the immediate arrest of Mr.. Car
halvo, and had instructed the officer
to arrest him and bring him before
the court instanter, and not to allow
him to give bail
A great many cruel and harsh
things have been said about the
Rockefellers and about manners and
deeency in New York, but it would
seem that Rockefeller in New York
has more decency than some people
have in North Carolina.

WILL PUSH STANDARD OIL
CASES.

Our news columns this week carry
a news item stating that the Supreme
Court of the United States had refus-
ed to uphold Judge Lands fine Of
s29,240,00O against the Standard Oil
and that this decision would end the
case. However, just before going to
press we learn that the Department
of Justice at Washington will at once
proceed with the trial of the numer-
Gus other cases pending in different
districts These are either against
the Standard Oil Company for receiy-
ing rebates or against railroads for
granting them to the Standard Oil
Company, involving the same ques-
tions which have been awaiting the
action of the Supreme Court on the
application for the writ These in
c1ude the cases In the Northern Dis
trict of Illinois and suits in the West
ern District of Tennessee, the South
ern District of California and the
Western District Of New York.
The effect of the refusal by the
Supreme Court to review the Stand
ard Oil case on eertiorari is to leave
that case resting upon the judgment
OF the circuit court Of appeals, and
the natural result will be that it will
go back to the trial court for a new
trial in accordance with the mandate
Of the circuit court of appeals.
1t is understood that the govern
ment is ready and will press for a
prompt trial, and it is supposed that
the retrial, like the original trial,
will proceed before Judge Lands as
the trial judge, although there will
be a new jury.
