The Courier acknowledge! with thanks the receipt of a copy of "Re making of a Uommenwealth," bjr C H Foe, editor ef the Progressiva Farmer. The article waa reprinted from the Revlsw ef Rsvisws. Mr Poe ia one of the beet writers in the State, A general game law for the State will be introduced in the next legis lature making uniform close sea son for game of all sorts . f state wide application. The lack of uniformi ty at present makes it difficult to en force existing laws.

At the last term of the ceart in that county a man was sent to the penitentiary for one year for retailing . Yancy county ia the only county in the State that aiakes retailing punishable by im prisonment in penitentiary. The Mocksville Times nndr the excellent management of Mr W K Clement has made great improve ment and bids fair to be one of the State's best county weeklies. The Times is engaged in an effort to es tablish a graded school in the pro gressive town in which it is publish ed. At a recent meeting of the Greens boro bar a resolution was offered bv Judge W P Bynnm which was un aninmnsly adopted asking that the legislature provide a court tenogra pher for Guilford superior court and recommending that the supreme and superior court judges' salary be increased to a turn uet less than $4,000. We acknowledge with thanks re ceipt of a copy of the report of state insurance commissioner, Hon J R Young. The report shows de cided progress on the part of home insurance companies. It would be difficult to find another man in the State who could improve on Mr Young's efficiency as an insurance commissioner. While charity organizations cn do most to alleviate suffering yet there are many cases where modesty prevents the making of the needs known. Indiscriminate giving en courages mendicancy and those who are most noisy in asking for aid are least deserving. There are those who suffer in this cold wintcry weather and need food and raiment They deserve attention and should have it. The servant protlem can be solv ed by every woman learning how to cook so that if cook cannot be had and occasion demands roll np her sleeves and get a meal without worry or inconvenience. State Anditor Dixon said in an address to school boys last summer: "Boys, I do not advise you to marry a cook, bat if were yon I would never marry a girl wno did not know how to cook.' Henry H Rogers one of the big men of the Standard Oil trust ,'tried to have Everybody's magazine for Jan uary excluded from the mails. Fail ing in that he warned the American News Company that it would be sued for libel if the January edition of Everybody's was distributed, A hat also failed.

IMPROVEMENT IN SCHOOL' SYSTEM. While the town schoels are lead ing yet there is wonderful improve ment ia the country school. The progress made by the pnblio ohooli of Randolph county has been so rapid that it has been often men tioned by many citizens. The pub lic sehools of Asheboro, Randleman, Ramsenr, Fraaklinville and other towns in the county are well equipped and well mauaged and have become factors in the progress of theconnty. And when we go to the cos n try sohools progress is no lesa marked. Whore a few years ago stood the log school house, uow stands comfortable frame buildings with mar np-to-date equipment. Special taxes for sohools have been voted upon and levied in Ashe boro, Randleman, Franklinville and in Providence school district in Providenoe township. The special tax question has proved to be the best practicable method for the build ing of better houses and the length ening ef the school term. It is be lieved that a dozen or more districts will vote special taxes this year. NEWS ITEMS.

She connected herself with the Friend's church while in ber youth and eve; afterward livod a consistent chris tam life. She was a kind aud lov ing mother and has no doubt been' the instrument in Hod s hands in bringing her children to Christ. For several years she has been sore ly afflicted but bore her afflictions with fortitndo and often expressed a willingness t orojs the dark river at the master's call. Only a few days before the end came she was stricken down with pneumonia and all that loving hands and medi cal skill could do was done for her; but her mission wad finished and God summoned her to a better land. And while our hearts are saddened, yet we bow with humble submission to the Master's will and say not our will but thine he done. " Farewell dear mother 'tis hard to part with yon but her sufferings are now over and she has no doubt entered the pearly gates and will ever be ready to welcome her loved ones home.
