The LEGISLATURES PROBLEMS.

ca the problems before the State as
follows.
In 1890 North Carolina was the

ne said. The splendid war record :,
OF men and women, the bravery of
the one, the devotion and beauty Of
the other, do not change the situa-
ton. Nature and environment have
done their part. What have we
done for ourselves?"
Judge Clark followed the unDleas-
ing facts with Others Our uniyer-
sity, | believe, was the second state
university that was established and
after lapse Of 100 years we find
this institution, Of which we are all
proud, with a student body Of 800
members, while there are many
others with 5000 or more.
We find our state making an an
nual appropriation of $S7 900 which
IS supplemented only by the income
| from a small endowment and its
tuition fees, while there are other
universities with incomes of more
than $4,000 900 annually."
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WORSE.
, Judge Clark showed the con1i-
tons in the public schools to be
worse. The state IS giving bare
tour months school to it's children
while others are having eight nine +
and ten months with a high r
course of study, he declared.
Why is this SO, why are we {
the modest demand that 8
the schools be increased to six
months and are met with the reply t
hat we have no money? Why r
s this SO? Our people are indust- a
'lous, they are honest, the fields are a
productive, the products OF our farm e
md factories are making other sec
Ions rich beyond the dreams OF F
aVarlce. Why are we retarded il i

SOME OF the CAUSES. +
Some Of the causes Judge Clark r
to slavery, some to the .
Killing OF the choicest of the state'e y
manhood in war, some to the waists
inder the carpetbag regime. but e
Ill these, he did not think, can c
explain the glaring disparities. The s

lustrious population. but it cannot b

here is deficit of 100000 in the C

but we can give Our children oaly L

alton. We starve our great uni ,,
ersity, which stands at the head d D:

The tourists arrived in Delmonte
last night after q strenuous day of
real sightseeing. fhe party made a
long stop at Salina just to see the
Western plainsmen enjoy their round
up. Not only did the cowboys enjoy
it. but the Hoosiers also. Everything
known on the plains was tried, from
the plain roping exercises to the rid
ing of a bull which had never been
mastered. Wild horses and those only
half wild added to the interest. and
when the men had shown their ability
as horsemen the women then gave an
exhibition of their skill
Yesterdays run covered l46 miles Of

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.

Satisfactory progress is being made
with the plans for the establishment of
a ferry boat service between Washing
ton and Anacostia or Congress Heights.
and q meeting of the promoters has
been set for August s. By that date. 1t
is expected, the application to the
War Department of the business men
who have requested that permit be
issued to them to operate the ferry will
be passed upon favorably. The meet
ing has been called by John H.
Adriaans. a Washington attorney, who
is taking an active part in the negotia-
tions that are under way to bring
about the establishment of ferry. The
meeting will be held in the hall at 3l4
PENNSYLVANIA avenue southeast.
Before the War Department will issue
a permit there must be submitted to II
plans showing the approaches at each
side of the proposed ferry. the river
soundings. and the wharfage facilities.
These have been presented. although
the question of having the ferry service
extend from South Capitol street to a
point directly opposite. in Congress
Heights, to summer avenue, near Ana
costa, has not been determined.
II is believed the former route will be
chosen. The membership Of the old
South Capitol Street Bridge Association,
in existence fifteen years ago, have

At Berlin Fall Flat

BERLIN, Aug. l.-When the tria! of
the seven men accused of selling gov
ernment reports and the bids of rivals
to the Krupp Company was resumed
today, it developed that the accused
were mixed up only in a system OF petty
graft, and that the high officials of the
ministry of war were not involved. as
was charged on the floor OF the reich-
stag by Herr Liebnecht
Brandt, the Berlin manager OF the
Krupps, was today's principal witness.
He testified that he was allowed an 2n-
nual expense account OF only $500. and
out of that sum he bought the alleged
secret reports.
