STATE EDUCATION Facts and Figures that Make Plain the Whole Matter. . Communication in Raleigh N.-O-Chronicle, 1. There are about 370,000 white children of -school age in North Carolina. Of these not more than 35,000, being less than one tenth; go to private schools, leaving 335,- 000, or nine tenths, dependent upon State schools. Nine white children out of ten in North Caro lina, if educated at all, must be educated by State aid. 2. The money that supports the common scnoois is aerivea irom the following sources : tbe poll tax; fines", forfeitures and penalties, the liquor tax and a school tax of 16 cents on every $100 of listed prop erty. The school fund is used ex clusively for the common schools, nor can it be used legally for other purposes. 3. For the annual support of common schools in North Carolina is required about $761,000. The daily cost of the schools is about $12,000. It tafces $48,000 for four days. 4. For the annual support of higher education for the whites in North Carolina is required $44,000, as follows : The University, - - - $20,000 Agricultural and Mechani cal College, - - - - 10,000 Normal and Industrial School, ----- 12,500 Cullowhee Normal School, 1,500 applies equally to the lower schools, for two -thirds of the children of school age in North Carolina do not attend the public schools. The objection is fatal to any system. 8. What Norths Carolina spends for higher education may best be seen by a comparison with the amounts spent by other states. The following figures are fnrnished by the state superintendents, and do not include appropriations for repairs, bnildings, etc. They rep resent the annual appropriations for maintenance : North Carolina, $44,000 ; South Carolina $107,000 ; Virginia, $129,000 j Georgia, $61, 000 West ; . Virginia, $200,000: Connecticut, $80,000 ; Vermont, $32,000 ; Rbode ; Island $30,000 ; Pennsylvania, $130,000; New York, $506,000 ; Ohio, $123,000; Michigan, . $351,000 ; Minnesota, $202,000 ; Illinois, $154,000 ; Colo rado, $250,000; Nebraska, $196,- 000; South Dakota, $80,000. The list is not complete as every State in the Union might be added. 9. It thus appears from facts and figures (1) that North Carolina should do more and not less for education ; (2) that the masses of the oeoDle will tret neither lower nor higher education without State aid ; (ii) tnat the burden oi sup- Dortins higher education in North Carolina rests upon very few tax payers and not heavily upon them ; (4) that those who are making tb biggest fuss about this burden are not helping to bear it.

It could not be n added to the common school fund, unless by a special act of the legis latare. Even if it wer so added, and the State institutions for higher education were destroyed, not four days would be added to the length of ihe common school term. 5. The $44,000 annually appro priated for the support of higher edncation comes from the general fund in the treasury, but does not include poll tax money, which is appropriated to other purposes by the constitution.

Debs lives in $10,000 house, at Terra Haute, which a gushing correspondent tells us is crowded to overflowing with costly bric-a-brac, fine paint ings, elegant furniture, etcetera. Debs most intimate friewis are the aristocrats of wealth and culture and Mrs. Debs, arrayed in costly raiment, goes much into high toned society. Debs poses as a labor leader in order to secure the where withal to buy his art treasures and his -wife's fashionable apparel, rather than for the love and sj'ni- pathy he cherishes for the " op pressed and the dowu-trodden." Mr Debs is an ambitions schemer actuated with a love for Debs and Debs only, and the men who have takenHhe bread out of the mouths of their suffering: families tofol- low blindly in his wakehave real ized this fact to their bitter sorrow. Dr. T. Hi Pritehardayi: I know that life at its best estate, , is heir to many ills; I know, too, that thie country is just now pass ing through a severe ordeal times are hard, business is dull, and many' are seeking employ ment in vain, and yet I : repeat, we ought to thank God and-- be happy, for wej are the . most fa vored people orrthe face of earth. Our taxes are less than those - of any civilized country in' the world; our judiciary has clean hands; it is, indeed, above suspi cion in the administration of jus tice; our State governnei&ls wise and good, ah(Tno taint of scan dal has attached to any of our of ficials since carpetbag rule passed away; we have no devastating floods, no terrible cyclones, no ruinous earthquakes, no fatalepi demics such as yellow fever, cholera and small pox, and for a nuudred years a gracious provi dence has sent the early and lat ter rain, so that there has bean seed to the sower and bread to the eater that our hearts might be full of food and gladness. And notwithstanding the hard times the farmers of the States, who constitute two-thirds of its popu lation, are in better condition than they have' been for twenty yers they have more supplies for man and beast and owe less money than at any time since the war, and, are far easier in their circumstances than the merchants, the manufacturers, the profession al men, and, indeed, all the in habitants of .the towns.

Sena tor Ransom, , of North Carolina says': The tariff bill is far tet ter than no bill stall. It might still be improved, but wa should not forget that it reduces taxation and: raises sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the govern ment. It does not carry out the idea of free raw materials, which is an important part of the Demo cratic doctrine, but much may be done .hereafter to remedy these defects' . , , RKFTEttErxo to the -attacks upon the University the South port Leuder says : " There is nothing that the people ought to be more willing- Co be taxed Tor than to advance the cause of higjher education in North Carolina. It is not a tax, in reality, but an investment, and one which shows erenter returns every year. If the people of North Carolina were taxed five times what they now are for the cause of higher education it would be money well invested; which would add more to the Old North State's future prosperity and reatriess than all other things put together." To which the Charlotte Observer odds : That is very true, but even if it were not there is a constitutional requirement that theState shall pro vide for the support of institutions where higher education may be had, and this provision should lift the question out of the realm of contro versy.

All that he pays lie have gotten their eyes so wide clmnl and in open to tuis iact inai nereauer, EIWUWU - I .... when tne wouid-De American auto crat desires to stir up a rebellion to brin tr himself to the front he goes to common support the poor. The property in the State is listed J. M. C. HILL, THE TINNER, at $260,000,000. A tax of If cents on the $100 will yield $45,000 be ins- $1,000 more than is annually appropriated to higher white edu cation in North Carolina. There fore tax payers contribute as fol lows to support higher education : A man who pays only poll tax contributes nothing. A man who is listed at $100, pays less than If cents. A man who is listed at $1,000 pays less than 17 cents. A: man who is listed at $5,000 pays less than 87 cents. Nine tenths of the tax payers in North Carolina being listed at less will have to seetc some more con genial clime for his revolutionary enterprises. Ex. What is said above in regard to Debs is equally true of certain Populist leaders in North Carolina. Butler, and his assistants have no more interest in their deluded fol lowers than they can make out of them in the way of money and position. They prefer to be lead ers of unsuspecting men, than pri vates in the ranks of honest men guages, all sorts of religious, and theories and isms and speculative philosophies which call them selves religious, but destroy faith and uproot the foundations of things; our people are a plain, old-fashioned sort of folk that have no better sense than to be lieve the Bible and fear God, and keep the the Sabbath holy and try to be honest. I believe that we live in the healthiest belt of the whole world; that our people are better fed, better clothed, have less taxes to pay and more morality and re ligion than any other people nn- der tse sun, and l do thins: it is wicked for politicians Populisms, Republicans or Democrats or any body else, indeed to go amoug the people and foment discontent and unbappiness by telling them that they are oppressed by unjust and discriminating legis lation and are taxed to death toJ enrich the more favored classes. The truth is, the Lord has done great things for us, and we ought to be glad and rejoice in the man ifold blessings we receive at his hands.
