School interest shows the material growth of a community. No other agency has so much to do with euhaucing propeity valuta as schools. The first and geratcst beneficiaries of the prosperity of the public are good schools. . Ever go west, ever see a real west ern city, the biggest thing in it is the public school building. The interest which a community bus in schools is to a large extent a recording thermometer of intellect ual life in the community. Ninety odd per cent, of the money ri'Ued for public education in the New England ami Middle Atlantic States is collected by local taxation. When a town (jets full of eiithus i.isni its business increases and itgetti a move on the business and Lumber of people double money becomes moro plentiful. A town that ne-'leuta its schoul U a town of stagnation and deatn lion't let the balance of the world move on while you sloep and t'llk about "good enough." A good school iiml a good school building is inviting to the outside world. It is the best advertisement foratowu. It is better than send ing out a ppccial cur. Take trip if you please over the State and look at the number of towns having graded schools and every ono of them has a brick build ing. The advancement educationally within the lust few years in this state has been marvelous. The ground work it now being laid well and the ensuing few years will show even more wonderful strides in edu cational advancement. (Southern Pines, Sunford, Joues- boro are to hare splendid new brick school buildings; ltundleman, High Point, Thomasvjlle ami Lexington and other nearby towns have large commodious school buildings built of brick. Asheboro ' should have one too call it following suit or what you please. Asheboro has an opportunity to become richer and more populous and better in every way. If we fail to grasp the opportunity while we can then we should be ' content to have our town atand still, the ppp il lation to remain practipally as it is now, and stagnation takti the place of energy, industry and enterprise. A few years ago Greenville in Pitt county voted a local tax for graded schools. There Was a good school building in Greenville and nearly every one was opposed to the erection of a large commodious brick build ing. Ex-Governor Jar vis advocated thecrcption of a, pern)qncut building lis he called it am) tuok tip th mut ter with all the eal and energy of his iiuture and succeeded with the help of others iu convincing a ma jority to favor the building of an up-to-date brick building. Green ville is proud of its school and its school buildng and now realizes the mistake that woud hav been made in trying to add to or patch up a wooden building. The old Methodist church in Asheboro was largo enough to hold the people who isualy attended church but the splendid new church is much better and more comfort able. Who would have the old church back? It is true the new church coat bqt it is worth all it cost and more. The new church stands as a monument to the energy, industry, religion and liberality of the good people who built it. There hvin it evidence of an higher appre ciation and devotion to the interests of the great cause of Christ on earth. A plank would do to mark the grave of oar beloved dead, but thp beatiti: fat fnarblp and granite monuments indicate a keener apf reciatiou of the memories of beloved ones. Just so itis,adajge comfortable building for onr children when they are sent to school is better than the rickety, ill ventilated barn designed building of backwoods pattern. If yon are shoit on vim, tr yon brain is dim, and yon want to got in trim, drink Pepsi-Cola. So at' all sods fountains. WASHINGTON LETTER.

Inm. to .: I stated in my lost letter, one of the reasons for delay iu the Senate In - terstute Commerce Committe not coming to some determination on the railroad rate making problem, has been a considerable change in couth em sentiment, especially among in lluenlial leaders of opinion. As be fore stated, the South started in squarely behind President ltoose velt's movement for qualified Gov ernment rate-regulation. Mr liryuu early came out iu advocacy of Mr Itoosevelt s ehorts, and the southern Democrats voted solidly for the Esch-Tow nseud bill, after advocat ing something still more, radical. It accordingly looked as if the Pres ident s campaign on rate regulation would be aided by the minority party in Congress, which would make it necessary that all the opposition should come Ironi his own ranks. lint the railroad arguments have made so deep an impression upon so inunv Souheru public men that they privately acknowledge that, while they may vote for a step to ward rate regulation, because of political necessities, they hope that the situation may be so controlled by internal strategy that they will nut have tn do this, and any uiil tiiai mii be given U such strategy in the N-iMte several southern Demo crat hiuih! ready lo furnish. This feeling need not show itself in the House, because on mis question tiie oenate win "Halt- I lie Din, l lie ar gument that seems to be catching the Southern leaders is the danger to their seel l"li Iron) any approximation of rates to a mileage basis, mid particularly in the mo.c.ieit of Cotton. I'liey realize that a few years may see a bitter struggle in the ex port cotton trade, due tocoinpetition with the new sources of supply that the British colonies aio develoiiiui;, oyer which British opinion is now so optimistic. America is more de pendent upon the expert of cotton than of any other crop, uud if any thing should break its supremacy abroad, the Southland would be severely injured. One great advan tage which the south has over the possible cotton ureas of East Africa and India is in cheap transportation from the iutcrior to the coast. The American railroads, controlling their own rates, in such a struggle for supremacy would haul cotton from me uplands at rate? which Mould keep the cotton growing area intact, iu the face of serious comtetitio:i. Added to this argument, there is hardly a prominent bout hern city that has not been partly convinced that it owes its importance in some industry to a cheap lung haul, and these instances have been emphasized by the railroad agents iu such a way as to make sentiment. Moreover, railroad interests are so strong in the South that few aspir ants for political advancement would dare to disregard them. 4'hsse con siderations in pot t, account for the absence of all but three Democratic members from the committee hear ings and tlie known desire of several of the6u nnuority men, if it cuii be one quietly, to break wi'h the rail road rate regulation wing of tbp party! 1 speak advisedly when 1 say that the dominant Hepublioan loaders of the Senate Committee which has just concluded its hearings feel that their greatest accomplishment since the President's crusade began has been the sowing of the seeds of this distrust toward rate regulation in the minus ot boutuern men,. it the democratic party meant what it said in its platform last summer which declared fur greater xiwer tg the Interstate Commerce ouimusiou to the end that "ship pers may have prompt and adequate reliet from the abuses to which thev are subjected in the matter of trans portation, then they ought to have heard some of the testimony of these same shippers before the Senate Committed on Interstate Commerce, uot long ago: when it was trying to get something to hinge a bill on that will put the refrigerator car line people under the jurisdiction of the uterstatc Commerce Commission. If it is the shippers and uot t!;e commission murp hunts that the saviors of the people want to protect, and thero is no reason to doubt it, then our people ought to get at the truth before they commence Iq leg islate. Whenever thpy dq they will discovei that they are playing right into the bands of (he Commission Merchant trust und aguiustthcrithl interests of tbe farmer the grower of fruit and vegetables, when they en deavor to place the refrigerator car line people in the hands of the Inter state Commerce Commission.

For instance, a fruit grower named J A Davis, of Golds - boro, Caroline County, Md, testified that he had been growing fruit for about tifteen years and had learned'! that fruit must be put in the car in I good condition in order to get good prices; that if fruit is put in the refrigerator car in pood condition it certainly will come out in good con - dition in the market. Otherwise the ictrigerutor car would be ot no ser- vice at all. He referred to the si afe - ment made before tne committee that the commission merchant did the' paying of the charges, und remarked unit ne nau a brother in tne business in New York City and that his brother did no paving fo- him, and that when u man's own brother re- fused to pay the charges, it was not imciy mat any one else would do so. He said he hud paid out ijiiiuu.Oo hiH season for refrigerator and thai cor- tainlv he would not keep that up if it was not a benefit, and that he personally had made from $4,(10(1 to (i,000 nioreoiitof his crop of fruit by the use of refrigeration cars. He said to the comiiiittto that he was perfectly satisfied with the present. law until something better is offered. He would be willing of course, to have a little reduction on refrigerator charges for the same service, but certainly did not want the service cut down in order to get lower rates. He said that gcXMl service is worth vervthing uud that they were using refrigerator curs for their own per sonal benefit. He said thev hud no iifrest in them at all. onlv.that 1 to bring them, the grower iack the dollar: There is a whole lot more of the aine kind of testimony f rum the rowers and the shippers of fruit, rive it to my readers. It is testimony from the man out in the held with no ux to grind except the one that cue him a proper return lor his labor.

The war between Russia und Ja pan, in many respects the most nota ble in history, has practically come to an end. There is little likelihood that uny more lighting of a serious nature will take place, uud if the armies in Juuuchuriu are aware of the status of affairs us the doubtless are it is likely that they will re. tram Ironi attacking each other tin til u formal urinistice is declared. This will probably be within a fo days. At the instance of President Roosevelt, the warring nations have signified their willingness to appoint plenipotentiaries with a view to nr. ranging peace terms, the Russian government going so fur us to ex press its willingness to have the meeting occur iu Manchuria, Wash ington or 1'ans. lhe latter city, However, is iirelerred by the Czar, und will probably be the sceue of at east the iierlimiiiiiry meeting. There lias been no indication ot what Jupun will name us tlie peace terms. Itus- siu thinks she cannot afford to set the price too high, us such action would endanger the future. Japan. however, has won uu almost com- plete victory, und the victois will doubtless name terms that will con vince the Russian government that she lias beeu in a light und gotten tne worst ot it. The war, which began February S, 1901, with the attack of Togo's licet iip.m the ships ut l'ort Arthur, has been full ef surprises for the whole world, which has watched the triumphal inarch of the Japanese with astonishment. When the cou llict opened nobody save the Japan ese themselves expressed a serious doubt that Russia would in time wear out the Yankees of the Orient and crush them, und it is doubtful it the Japs themselves had any idea of such a victory us they have won. :side ironi being ono of the greatest wars in history in the matter of men and fleets employed, the success of the Japanese .n every engagement makes it notable. A glance over the history of the struggle will show not a single victory for the Russians in any contest worthy the r.ame of battle. ALDERMEN INDICTED Trading With the City a Violation of Criminal Statutes. Something of a sensation was created Saturday when it became known that tho present grand jury of Mecklenburg superior couit had returned, a presentment against leven of the thirteen aldermen of the recently retired Brown adminis tration for violation of the criuiiuul statutes, and also a city ordinance, in trading and contracting with the municipality. When it returned the bill the grand jury announced lo the court that it hud also voted to dismiss the cuse with tne recommen dation that the practice be discon tinued. The present executive, Mayor McX inch, has already issued notice that he wilt approve no bills w herein members of the beard of iildermeii have sold to the municipal ity.
