The Coukikk in anxious to got all the local news that is news. The pnhlic is not looking for brilliant editorials but for local news in a local newspaper. We ask our read ers to genii us news from every sec tion. It is the local news the peo ple want. There is no doubt about that. It is the newsy paper which is read. There should be more comfortable school houses. I?etter school houses will help to solve the question of bet ter attendance. Better school houses is better than compulsory attendance laws. School houses should be made not only more comfortable but more attractive. Not only the school houses anil the school grouuds should be made more attractive but the seats and desks should be made more com fortable. The surroundings we now have in the public school buildings belong to a past age. YTe should not only have better methods of teaching, better teachers and increas ed salaries but better school houses and equipments. Every citizen owes a public duty to take an interest in public affairs. Good men should elevate politics by faking an interest in public affairs. It is a plain duty that good men owe the community. They should ens tein and preserve froe institutions by tneir efforts. In a free government laws are madp fnr 11 tba labvri-n man has the same rights as the brain worker. In the campaign of 1900 the ignorant negro vote was elimina ted; politics was in a great measure purified. Men of low character can no longer be elevated to offices of public trust by the ignorant negroe's baliot. A higher standard should and will prevail in methods of secur ing nominations and at elections Let the good citizens attend the pri maries and nominate the best men for office who will run upon their merit and capacity and fituess for public position and not upon their ability to manipulate or purchase votes. It is especially desirable that the best of men be nominated for office. The best men frequently are those who w ill not make a scramble for of fice. There will be a great political battle fought this fall. The biggest fight will le made to get the legisla ture. There are few entities where there is much hope for republicans to elect county officers, for the man agemeut of county affairs have been t i i n i i , . bo oau unuer tneir control, tne peo ple have decided to have no more of them. A United States Senator is to be elected and there will be hard work on the part of the republicans to carry the legislature, but there is discouragement on every hand for them, the greatest thing in their way Wing the fact that there will not le a "corporal's guard" of the entire colored population that will l ti-mitted to register, and it was a waste of funds f oi republican leaders to spend so much money in paying their poll taxes. j. uere is rapid advancement in every branch of scientific investiga rtrt . i tion. In nothing is their greater ad vancement than in the science of medicine. In surgery there is won derful progress. Recent develop ments makes the consumptive hope ful. Living in the open air day and nlsjht ha worked wonders in effect ing marvelous cures. It is now even claimed that successful cures have have been made of Bright'a disease by means of snrgical operations. It is said that the successful treatment was accidently discovered in using the rays for locating a stono in the bladder. An expert, w riting of these experi ments, says that "while they failed to detect the presence of the "suspect ed foreign bodies, showed marked inflammation of the organ. In theso cases it was assumed that the photo graphs were at fault and operations followed. In the majority of instances no stones were found," and it was thought that the operatives had per formed needlessly. It was noticed, however, that within a few days after each operation the inflammation dis appeared and that a cure followed in nearly every case. The public wants a newspaper that gives the news. It is not a question as to what the politics of the paper is so much as it is. "does it contain the news?" It is said that some fanners in Stanly have the fallacious idea that oat seed will produce cheat. A citizen of the county referred the subject to one of our eminent agriculturists, who replied that he had long since quit trying to argue with people who are as ignorant of the laws of plant life as to supose such a thing; as a matter of course oat seed will pro duce oats, while cheat seed will pro duce cheat, He adds: "If our fann ers would stndy more and learn the wonderful plant life around them they would get rid of these old su perstitions and see how absurd they are." Stanly Enterprise. THE ROWAN LYNCHING. The horrible lynching in Salisbury last week was a slain upon tho State. The crime was an iniusd.il one, but there was no possibility of thccM-cpc of the prisoners. The inurd-.-r of tin woman was a brutal one, horrible to contemplate, and the brutes perpe trating the crime richly deserved death, but not at the hands of a mob. There are no bitter people anywhere than in Rowan county, and they do not deserve this bloody stain of law lessness. No county in the State has better juries and justice scarcely ever miscarries in her courts, nor is there anywhere a sturdier, or more upright tvpe of manhood composing her citi zenship. A regular term of court not being near at hand one would, no doubt, have been called after the excitement had subsided so that the teoused culprits could have had a fair and impaitial trial, as under the law every criminal should have. There should bo no hasty, intem perate proeeeduro in bringing crimi nals to justice. It is true in Rowan county as well as in other counties there has been some delay in carrying out the judg ment of the court in capital cases, due to appeals to the Supreme court, but there have been no pardons or reprieves or commutations lolife im prisonment, and in fact no acqiutals by the juries in capital cases recently, and in every case where there has been an appeal to the Supreme court for the past year, at least, the judg ment of the lower court has been confirmed. Of course, it is contend ed that there are two sides to this Rowan county lynching, but it is a wrong side and a right Bide. The recent outbreak of lawlessness in the Salisbury lynching is some what surprising when it is remem bered that outside of the largo crim inal class of negroes in that county, there is no where a more law-abiding; people. It is' true in sparsely settled sec tions our women often have to be left alone, but the law gives them protection against the fiends incar nate who commit rape and murder, Every lynching is a violation of law a disgrace to our civilization. Pro tection is given by law, and the rille and rope should not be resorted to, Wherever a crime is committed then is a law to punish the criminal. It is true that when we stop to think as do the friends and relatives of the poor woman on the impulse of the moment there may appear to reason for Ivnchinsr, but when remember that there is a remedy for every wrong, and that in the courts, good citizens go for justice and for the punishment of criminals. Mob law is never justifiable. To Build the Greatest Cotton Mill on Earth. Greensboro. X. C, June 17th.

All around tne pri meval forest waves to the brec.e playing amid its foliage. The Land of man has scarcely changed mil s. v's handiwork. The spring is situated rather in a miniature ravine; and at one side stands the pav ilion or dancing room airy and cool open on all sides to the summer nights' balmy breezes. We could in imagination see vast crowds tripping the liaht fantastic toe," and eyes looking love to eyes that speke again, and ail going lnesfily on far on into the June morning. It was really a comforting sight to see this token of health and good ok-cr. situated so near the fountain of !rft . Standing upon a slight eminence just above the reck and the spring is the handsome hotei, with its jvide verandas supported by large cohnial pillars representing that stvui of architecture of a century ago. i walked up ana down tne wiae ' nails, and lingered about upon the , road piazzas, enjoying the balmy fr,x:.o and inhaling the odor of heaulfui flowers, which form lovely poftffS" upon the sloping lawn. 4 At length the invigorating -er from this fountain cf youth, miiijfied with various other reasons warned us we needed refreshments cf a more solid nature, so pretty soon the din ner gong reminded us it was time to go to the dining-roon:, so thither we betook ourselves one and all into the spacious dining hall; and soon were washing down a delightful repast with Jackson Springs mineral water. While we sipped our soup as a kind of beginning to dinner our ears were regaled with the most enchanting strains of a band of music. No in digestion accompanied this repast: what could happen to a dinner pass ing through the various stages of mastication under the insjiiring strains of some of the very finest airs of this or any other country. After the hotel dinner we rambled about the grounds, drank again at the springs and gazed around at the everlasting hills encircling this boun tiful retreat.

The first day Judge Boyd went to ile- department of iustice one of the I Ivrks showed him two rooms saying 1 it he could select either. Both i looms were handsomely furnished. Easy chairs and comfortable lounges were all about the room, and over in one corner an electric fan was doing dutv in a splendid manner. Judge Boyd took a look at: the room and turning to the clerk said: 'There is an article of furniture that I do not see in this room that I always want near me." Tiie clerk assured him that no matter what he might want would be brought in at once. Just, then the -Vief clerk of the department came in and Judge Boyd repeated what lie had said to the assist ant. The chief clerk replied in the same man ner as did his assistant, and informed Judge Bovd that if he would let his wants be known, he would attend to ihem at once. Turning to the chief clerk, Judge Bovd said: "I always make it a rule to have a Bible near me, for I am a great hand at ouoting the Scrinture. Most of my friends question my scriptural quotations whenever I give them and 1 want a Bible here to settle ait ui putes. These disputes are certain to arise the first quotation 1 make. The chief clerk looked at Judge Bovd in astonishment, for said he that was the first time the Bible, to bis knowledge, was ever called for in the department of iustice. That Bible, Judge Boyd still holds to.

A Plot to Kill King Edward Loxuox, June 17. A sensational story is current in London of the discovery of a to-night plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable discussion in nswspaper and other circles,but it is lacking m anything like official confirmation. According to the current report King Edward's sudden illness at Aldershot was due to a cold but was merely an excuse . for withdrawing His Maiesy from th function, on the discovery by Scot land Yard detectives of aidotagains his life. The principals in this plot have not been arrested. At Scotland Yard to-night the utmost reticence was maintained concerning the rumor. It. was notable, however that the chief inspectors who usually go home at night, were all on duty and refused to interview newspupe reporters, and declined to deny or confirm the rumor. Mt.
