Greenville, Special.-Pitt county
has a teachers association that ranks
with the best in the State It has a
membership considerably above one
hundred, holds meetings once a
month and is attended by practically
all the public school teachers in the
county. Through the efforts Of the
association, led by the county super
intendent Of schools, Prof. W. II.
Ragsdale, educational interest has
reached a high pitch over the entire
county. In addition to the splendid
programme participated in by various
teachers Of the county, a prominent
educator from different colleges in
the State is secured. to address each
meeting Of the association. The adj
dress at the meeting last Saturday
was by Prof. J. Henry Highsmith, OF

State officers, Club.

Raleigh, Specialize North Caro-
lima State officers are organizing
themselves into a social club with a.
limited number Of outside members,
the indications being that the organi-
cation will come to be quite a feature
of interest in Raleigh. The entire
Woman's Club building, west Of Cap
itol Square, has been leased, except
the assembly room, which the women
will retain for meeting purposes. It
has been a matter Of dissatisfied COM
ment for some time among the State
officers that they had no place where
they could come together in a social
way and exchange views without the
formalities> Of some official session
or conference. To Hon. B. F. Dixon
State auditor, is due the credit for
having hit upon a solution of the
difficulty in conceiving the formation
Of the club.

Cloers'. Victims Increase.

Statesville, Special. Addltlonal
charges against the Cloer brothers
Robert and Joe Cloer, the noted
check fashers who r in jail here
awaiting trial, continue to pile up ana
it is probable that the number OF
their victims will never be known.
There are probably many victims VINO
know that the Cloers are now IN jail,
but they don't care to let it be known
that they cashed bogus checks be-
cause the telling will not bring
back their money, and few Of US are
anxious to let it be known that we
have been taken in or worked by a
sharper. This is preliminary to say
ing that MI. R. F. Burton, cashier
Of a bank at Marion, was shown
photograph Of Robert Cloer-the one
who operated most extensively-the
other day and recognized him as the
man who passed a forged check on
the Marion bank. This is the first
case to turn up from the Marion sec
ton.

Raleigh, Special.-Governor Kitch-
in says he is receiving many letters
from people in various parts Of the

the operation Of the act passed by
the recent Legislature providing an
inspection system for North aero

inspectors, n for each congressional
district, the pay for each not to ex-
ceed $1,000 per year. The Governor
says, however, that he finds that the
appointments are not to be made by
him, but by the State Department Of
Agriculture. The act becomes oper-
alive July 1, and will necessitate the
testing Of all Illuminating oils offered
for sale in the State, the Inspectors
tag Of approval being necessary on
every package Of oil before it can
be offered for sale at retail.

WASHINGTON NOTES

For four hours the House Of Rem.
~resentatives Friday listened to fl.
reading of the tariff bill which v,s
the only business transacted. Il was
perhaps the dreariest Legislative sos.
sion Of any held by the body in W.
cent years.
The census bill was received by tbs
Senate from the House and referrpd
to the committee on the census. After
being in session eight minutes The
Senate adjourned until Monday
That the Payne tariff bill increases
the cost Of living; that it is crude, il.
definite, sectional and prohibitive;
and that it is an open challenge to
a trade war with every other nation
on earth, are some of the criticisms
of that measure made by Democratic
members of the ways and means com.
mittee in the minority report submit.
ted to the House by Minority Leader
Champ Clark Monday.
The report is a severe Arrangement
! Of the revision which the Payne bill
proposes. The countervailing duty
provisions for coffee and petroleum,
the maximum and minimum features
the Cuban reciprocity clause, the
wooden, glass, agricultural and sugar
schedules are bitterly attacked.
"There are many .changes-for the
most part minor changes says the
report, "of the Dingley rates, some
up and some down. Most Of the
changes in a downward direction are
reductions more apparent than real,
the Payne. rates being as prohibltls
in their results in many cases as the
Dingley rates."
Declaring that a tariff is a tax pad
by the consumer and that the only
function Of a tariff law is to RAISE
revenue to supply the needs OF the
government, the minority members
Of the committee insist that instead
Of an increase in taxes Of a new Issue
Of bonds, the correct remedy tor the
growing deficiency in the revenues Is ;
the cutting down Of the expenses Oh
the government.
The first gun in the tariff deOa's
was fired in the House OF Represents
tives by Nj. Payne, Of New I0fA,
the majority leader and chairman Oh
the committee on ways and means
MI Payne declared the colla'f!
was overwhelmingly in favor Oh .
protective tariff. ut is an AMER e1,
lean policy he. said, "and it seens'
to be ~acquiesced in by the great n''
.iority Of the American people, n.
Coming to the Dingley bill NJ.
Payne declared that it had proved J
be a boon to The people Of the onnst
States, in proof of which statens y
he cited the immense collections :" y,
revenue and expenditures under H. Il; +
given in his recent report on tne Ds
Those expenditures, he said, lnc1'd e.
$50, 900, 900 for the Panama cana', rs q
which no bonds were issued Il.
