About three weeks otthe time 01 me Legislature has passed.

No election law has; yet been passed Both branches of; the Legislature adjourned on Thursday of last week in honor of Gen. R. E. Lee. .

They are . all clean, well edited papers. '; It has been found that some of the salaries of Havana officials have - been unpaid by Spain since 1867. And yet, though they didn't' draw their full pay, many of these officials have been living high on nothing. . . : ' ; Out of 7,84c homicides in the United States in 1898 but 33 were in self-defence. Only 100 were executed for their crimes.

But for severa years previous to last year we had only one or t wo lynchings. . ;ihe Asnenue citizen . ventures to say that Idomparatively few North Cat. oliuans know that nearly 'one hundred years ago, when ; Nathaniel Macon of .North Carolina was . speaker of the House of the National Congress, North .' Carolina had 1 a members in that : body, while now she has only nine, It -would be interesting to follow up the history, and compare the representa tives of that day with thoss who repre f:nt us at the present tiir.s. CONFLICT WITH FEDERAL COS- STITUT10N. I The News and Observer says hat there has of late been . much 1 agitation in favor of amending the J State Constitution ' so that the taxes paid by the white people shall be applied exclusively to the public schools of the white race I and the taxes paid by the negroes should be applied exclusively to the schools for the negroj-ace. lne advocates of this plan pro ceed aponihe theory that to secure such division of the school fund it is only necessary to change the State Constitution. Iu this they are in error. It fvill be necessary to change the Federal Constitu tion before such, division of the schooltund would, be legal. Ex Attorney General. Osborne, who has given the matter consideration, says that a division of - the ; school money to the races in proportion to the snms paid . by : each race would be in conflict with the Fed eral Constitution. The Supreme court in the case of Puitt vb. Commissioners of Gaston county (94 N. C. Reports, page tiq .1.. n,o Vvu fcUO r "uo VWi0i au" - 4. v. r ..i.: a on property owned, by persons oi I the same color, to be applied ex- I clusiye to the education of children or tnat color, is in eonnict both Carolinaand the United States, i We might amend the Constitution I of North Carolina, if the division of the school fund were desirable, but we cannot amend the Federal Constitution. THE GROWTfl OF TRUST'S. As tne Charlotte uoserver says, one can hardly realize' what a grip the trusts and combinations of capital have I upon this country, or how rapid, has been the growth of these .institutions. they have become so strong as to threaenall business and trade. One of the leading New York newspapers has recently been making investiga tion along this line and the figures are startling. - V-:-... -; The new concerns incorporated dur ing tne twelve momns nave an aggre- gate capitalization of 'more than a quarter of a billion dollars. This, of course, is a different thing from a capl- iai oi mat amount, ana represents merely the quantity of paper certifi- cats m me. ;orm ot snares which these trusts have caused to be . printed and hone tod sDose of to the nnhl Id j. Since the opening of the new year me number ot new trusts ancorporated J or projected has multiplied, andt the reactionary effect is seen in the "dis- patches from State capitals announcing the introduction of legislation intend ed to check their growing power. A table .complied, bv a N. Y. Daoer gives ninety-two trusts formed 'during ,cc ' j - ,f , . - J .-"V" 66jvB.v ization is shown to be 11,292,749,200, of which $Qii,Qi'i.xoo is common stock and 334,791, 900 preferred. Their bonded indebtedness will in crease the total over $1,5001,000,000. few comparisons will enable one to grasp the meaning of this great cap- ital. The total value of the United States wheat crop of 1896" is placed at 310,- 52f339--ess than one- thjrd of the capital of the 1898 trusts. the value of the horses in the I United States in 1897 was estimated at 452649396. I he value of mineral products in 1896 was 1623,7 1 7,288; sheep in 1897, fie nn .no- miirh ', in rJ3-y,yt-, " .fifn m nn. ' -0"-OyyyO' . The value of sugar consumed in this country is now abuu$ 2 2o,ooo,booT , a year. 1 he total-of wages paid in the sugar refining industry is about $2, 000,000 less than one. six-hundredth of the new trust capital of 1898.

KE7. MR. AVTRETTS ADDRESS. Io answer to the unanimous invita tion by the members of the Legislature Rev. 1. B. Avirett Rector of St. Paul's . - i Episcopal church, of Louisburg, . deliv-1 erd an address on Gen. R. E: Lee, before the General Assembly . on Thursday-;-: night of last - week, Commenting upon' the lecture I the Raleigh Post says: A large and appreciative audience greeted Rev. Mr. Avirett, the orator, ! who delivered a lecture on - General Lee last evening in the hall ; of : tlfc House of Representatives, A number f of ladies were present. r - Mr. Avirett is one of the most - schol- I arly men of the ' State. I He graduated at the University lust before the war and is a - representative of the Old South the proJuct of the high culture i that obtained among "the wealthy and leisured class of our planters. In. him one finds the charming manner, the elegance and refined sentiments com bined with the manly tharactenstics of the anti-bellum Southerner, that distin guished tur people from fhT-more ac tive, pushing people of the North.

We shall not attempt any quotation-but the incident of Lee's marriacp at orann nin rtninprnn- was delightfully Dortrayedr and as Mr. Avirett had associated Washrogtoh and Lee together as being the product of lne same locally and community, so . - . . . dienCe a stilt closer association be- tween these two greatest men in the world's history.
