The country will know no big
things in tho way of prosperity un
til all tho trusts, combines, &c, are
torn up and destroyed forever. It
is nonsense to ex;oct proerity to

the trusts and monopolies are per
mitted to exist.
Seven of the furty-ona banks in

The big fight m the Legislature
over the North Carolina Railroad
lease, cime np Tuesday of this
week. As we go to press there is
no news as to tho result, and we
will hardly be ablo to give our read--ers
any news until next i(ue. If
the money power fails to cjntrol in
this struggle it wi.l be the first case
on record. Of course wo hope for
better things thm the lease will be
broken, but it will be a hard fight
to secure the annullment.
The papers at the time of theoc
carrencc, contained long accounts
of the blowing up with dynamite of
the residonco of Dr. John 13. Gor
rell, a prominent physician of He
bron, W. Va., and tho killing of a
visitor who was spending the night
with the dector. The doctor took
6ick and died a few days ago, and
j nst before he pati-ed away he con
leased that he murdered his old
neighbor and friend and blew up
tne House in order to conceal his
crime.
We believe Jjhn Wanamaker
was right when hu said : "To dis
continue an advertisement is like
taking down a sign." That is just
the idea, luuluve a eigu above
your door to let people know who
you are and where you are. Your
ad. appears in the paper every week
and thousands of people see it every
week. If it dropi-outyou dropout
and those who have been keeping
np with you turn their eves to the
head lines of some other merchant
ad. and very ruauy readers forget
the man who used to appear so con
spicuousiy. ract! If yon don't
know it you are not potted.

cause of good roads that a committee

and in tho county ot Mecklenburg
was adopted. Tho committee will
leave Raleigh Friday night and cx
amine the roads the next day.
The senate mot at 8 o'clock.
The bill was taken npto prohibit
the nso of troo passes by ollicera.
Senator Dntler favored the bill,
saying every two moii who rodo on
a railroad paid tho fare ot another
person, who rodo on a free pass ;
that men who use free pauses are
always men who aro amply able to
pay their fares.

passes good during his term of oiiice.

Senator Clark, chairman of tho
special committee to investigate
Swinson's statement in regard to tho
enrolling clerk's oflice, sent forward
tho report of the commit tie, tliHt
Swinson said he did not make thu
statement as they appeared in the
newt papers, hut that he did say no
neirro should work in his ottiee as
long as ho had charge of it, because
ho expected towards tlio end of the
session to have lady copyists and
that he did not propose to have him
self pointed out as a populist that
had negro assistants ; that he did say
it had cost $50 a day to run liie
oflico ; that while ho did not have
use for tho aswistants, they wore put
there by two political caucuses and
he did not feel disposed to discharge
them.
Senator Parker, of Alamance, o
the committee, riled a minority re
port, saying there had lieen useless
employment of assistants and the
useless expenditure ot money in
their employment ; that Swinson, of
his owu motion, appointed one ol
eight ast-istaiits and as to the othe
6cven,he rect ived them by direction
and nomination of the caucuees ot
two political parties, to whom he
was indebted for his own election
and in so receiving them he thought
and had reason to think lie was
obeying the commands of the two
parties w Inch had elected him ; that
Swinson is not withont blame, but
the blame consists largely in hi
yielding too readily and withont
protest to tho caucus demands and
nominations : that there was not at
any time any suggestion to him to
displace or discharge any of the
assistants lie had so received.
The bill passed by tho hnusi to
abolish the oluceof enrolling clerk
if, by law, such oflice exists, was
taken np.
Senator Moye opposed the bill
saying persons now trying to oust
Swinson said if he would appoint
the two negroes they wanted they
wonld withdraw the hill.
Senator Smathers favored the bill
Senator Butler was in favor of
not judging Swinson too hastily
that Swinson thought he was carry
ing out the wishes ot the caucus.
Senator Parker, of Alaintncu
offered a substitute that tlio enroll
ing clerk be charged with the doty
and responsibility for prompt and
proper enrollment of all bills and
resolutions certified to him by the
chief clerks of the house or senate
that there e'tall bo to assistants
selected by the enrolling clerk am
that the assistant enroiliug ckrki
6hall be under the direction and
subject to the orders of tho enroll
ing clerk ; that whin the enrolling
clerk requires clerical help he shall
secure services of sufficient number
of competent copyistsitnd they shall
be paid 10 cents a copy sheet for
all work done by them.

EoiTou N . e: In several of'oiir
oU'x papers, Luth political and r
ligioiio, we have read editorials aiid
voices in tho interest of our f r e
schools. I he ,e a few lines from me
will find space in your coliimns.
Our schools aro not what they
should bo and are not what they will
be in the near future. Tho demand
is tor longer schools and better
schools. Let tliis bo the watch-word
of every teach'.-r and every person in
tho statu interested in public educa
tion until the end be accomplished.
It has been said, "Withiu tho wails
of our public schools ihe destiny of
our country is being determined."
From ltsclasst s of to-day must coin
tho legislators, tho doctors, the min
isters, tho merchants:, the mechanics,
the mothers and the voters of to
morrow. I hardly think it would he
exaggerating lor mo to say they aro
the grandest, the noblest and surest
influences of our country. Figura
tively speaking, they are thecradlts
of high echools, colleges and uni
versities. Perhaps, S'imelsidy has
already said, our schools are long
enough unless) they were better at
tended. We ask why is this lack
of attendance! One has said, "Be
cause they aro not worthy of at
tendance." In a measure this is a
truth, taking into consideration our
hoiines and school arrangements.
The most ignorant man knows a
KoimI thing when ho sees it, there
fore let our free school system be
made a good thing and there will
not be so many criesof inatteudancc.
Wn need county sucrintcndent8 to
v is it our schools. County institutes
aro a'most a thing of the past. We
need infinite conducted by the
best educators of our state toarviis
us, as public teachers, to a sense of
(.or duty. We trust our legislator
will do their full duty in behalf of
our schools along this line and there
by get a greater intelest manifested
and the system on a higher educa
tions! plain. Jf our teacheis aro not
fi'ied for the emergency and the
requirement demanded ot them as
teachers, let them qualify them
selves and t!.-rtby magnify their
pr. fesbion. Let me again speak of
the attendance of schools. To my
mind one great cause, in many dis
tricts, of inai tendance, is personal
and lamily influence, yea, and I may
say religious a d political prejudice
in the employ n. en t of teachers. This
is uot id ways t! ciso, more especial
ly, where committeemen do their
whole sworn ''uty. Wo sometimes
think more i strictioi s should he
placed upon the duties of se;too
committeemen than there are .ui
present. It i.i the duty of commit
teetnen to en ploy teachers for the
best int:rist of the schools and for
the majority of the people in their
rei pective dis-ricts and not to satis
fy their own personal ideas and
feelings. They have a respom-ib'e
and nooie dn'y to perform. 1 cr
imps to satisfy family interest, finan
ciatly speaking, the minds of many
a in y and girl have tx-en wrecked
when a proper step in the employ
ment of a teacher would have saved
them Mid to;. ile them useful men
and women. Teachers should not
bu euiph.yed i'l districts where dure
are pupils th.-.r can Use a reader ot
the f jnrth or tilth class as mtclli
p. nttv a the teacher himself.
'i . iic In rs shouid not be employed
in disincts where there are pupil
t i attend the school almost equal to
them in advancement in the public
branches. It retards the progress
of the pupil and the lnlliiencn of the
teacher. Tho action of committee
men, upon school business, should
bo as wise and consistent as that ot
the judge upon the bench; detirm
ined to make our public schools
equal to the very hist. We have
several good schools; schools which
are well attended, attractive, and ot
winch any community may be proud,
while there are others uot what they
should be. Teachers, let us Ik
awakened to our duty. Let us more
fully realize that we are great instru
ments in our schools that shape the
minds of the boys and giris of our
country.
"lVllKbtrul to rear the U'ndiT tliouijlit;

Let us get a high conception of
what the free school is and realize
its power and h.fluerice. Let ds look
upon it as a Sucred trust; guard it
wi;h staunch patiiotism, for there
is no patriotism more pure, m-jre
elevating or more dt serving of
recognition than that of one whoc
highest ambition is to s'ore the
minds of little children with knowl
edge and guide their tootsteps in
the path of duty. Let those of us
who are hi th active work in these
schools or insi tutions, c une up to
