THE FKANKLIN TIMES . A. THOMAS, Editor and Proprietor. Fbidat. Mabch 24. -' - - 1899. ONE YEAE, - - - $1.00 SIX MONTHS. - 65 THEEE MONTHS. - - 35 MCKINLEY TO BLAME FOR IT ALL. We agree with the Wilmington Mes senger that oae of the sharpest, sever est criticisms we have seen on McKin ley appeared in an editorial in the New York Evening Post of the 13th inst. It placed the responsibility of abuses and failures on the right shoulders on those of the president who placed poor excuses for men in office and re tained them after it was patent to all how dead failures tbey were. It says he is to blame, and no one else, for the war in the Fhilipines that he allowed i the defeat of the Spanish fleet in Phil ; ippine waters to be made an excuse for ! annexing the islands, without knowing ! anything about them, or about :.' their , nisiory ana wisnes. cut tnis is not an ; by a very great deal. He has . admin N,,istered badly at every step. The Even .ing Post asks: "Who is it that has put . iuc luauagciucui ui luese wars lino ine 1 hands of a politician known to be cor j rupt, who had himself left the army in i disgrace? Who is it who, after his cor- j fully discovered and widely denounced I keeps him there in spite of all remon- ; strances? But his whole career furnishes one of the most triumphant I demonstrations of incapacity we can recall, as having been made by a high f officer in any Anglo-Saxon commu nity." y j Mark this. The Post did all it ! could to elect him. It is the - accusa tion a fri&riA a nrl cnnnnyloi I j THAT LIBEL LAW. And it-appears that the libel law which the Nonh Carolina editors asked the Legislature to pass was smothered by a sub-committee composed of F. D. Winston, of Bertie, W. R. Allen, of Wayne, and Frank Ray, of Macon. Winston, we are told, made a speech for the bill at the hearing before the committee; Allen was opposed to it be cause: he thought it gave the editors too much liberty'and Ray's position is not stated but the fact remains that the Dill was smothered by the three gentlemen named. - The editors have made no demands; they aeked for no favors; they asked o.nly for what they regarded as simple justice in the prem ises and it is little short of an outrage that their respectful ' request has " re ceived so little consideration. .'We are not advocating taking vengeance on anybody, but if the editors of the State desire to command respect; if they de sire to let the politicians ' know that they cannot mistreat them with iinpur nity, it would be just as well for them to keep an eye on Messrs. Winston, Al len and Ray eye, and let them know that you are keeping an eye on them Statesville Landmark. That's the stuff, and the editors will very likely to do as the Landmark suggests. - The Charlotte Observer says: see in the Boston Herald that We the banks of that city have abolished days of grace. They have ruled that thirty days are a month, without regard to the calendar, and thus a note dated March 1st, at three months matures in exactly 90 days. This is a gain of two days because March has 31 days and so has May. The advantage to the bank is that the interest is compounded two days earlier, and while the separate items are small the aggregate makes quite a little gain. Some banks get a still further advantage by discounting the interest, in advance for three months and then maturing the note under the new rule at 90 days. All this shows the tightening tendency ana now the people are under the whiplash of the national banks. A , remedy for this would be the repeal of .the 10 per cent, tax on State bank notes, and to let these banks issue notes on other security than government bonds all this, of course, under na tional supervision, to obviate the . danger of wildcat banking. VARIOUS7; SUGGESTIONS ABOUT MONKEYS. "Tattler," in AsheYille Citiren. " : There is a good deal of discussion ; just now over the story that iq Missis ' siooi monkevs are user! no ers. It is asserted that there is talk of luuuuuiug lucm as lactoiy bands at . Statesville, but this is regarded as un safe, for fear the monkeys might be al ; ways getting their tails mixed up in the machinery. The Lynchburg Ad vance in turn says some one opposes the monkey as a cotton field hand be cause of the fear that at the time the 6imians become expert the Yankees will set them free and give them the franchise. An Asheville man is inves tigating the plan of equipping 4a farm for raising tailless monkeys.Jand saking 6ome future Legislature to declare they shall never vote unless their poll tax is "paid and each one is able to read 500 words of Greek a minute. The Suffrage Amendment will be found on our fourth page. The vote in Reidsville a few days ago on issuing bonds for waterworks was almost unanimous. Many papers of the State published that the legislature passed a law abol ishing the three days of grace allowed on drafts. This is a mistake, as that clause of the law was stricken out by r J?-t. KOSTfl CAROLINA PEOtfRESS. Saying: Nothing- But Always Pushme . Steadily Forward. Danville Jtegister. No State in the South is advanci ig along all lines more rapidly than the State of North Carolina, as educational, industrial and financial statistics wili show. While the people of some of the other States are cracking j ikes and poking fun at the "Tar-heels," as the) are facetiously termed, theNjrth Caro linians are saying nothing, but art steadily pushing forward into thefron raiks of progress. Thriving prosperou towns are going up all over the State, factories, and mills are building and operating, water power, forest wealth and mineral treasures are being every where developed, and besides furnish tng the lumber for her own- structures the old State is supplying : other com monwealths with lumber and other building material. The tobacco and cotton growing interests are prolific sources of revenue, their manufacture is advancing with stupendous . stride and with them the general prosperity is growing steadily. Its educational in stitutions are growing in number, in reputation and in patronage, and thereby the intellectual . standard ot her people is gradually - rising higher and higher.; - Now that the State has- been rescued and will soon be guaran teed , immunity from the rule of the ignorant element still greater and more rapid advancement along all lines may reasonably be expected. Among the legislation recently en acted by the white Democratic Legis lature probably the most notable and important and perhaps the wisest of all is the bill just passed : with practical unanimity appropriating $100,000 to public school education, which is in addition to the usual appropriation for this purpose. This is but an additional appropriation of 165 cents per capita to the 600,000 school children of the State. That number of pupils, large and creditable as it is to the State, will be consideaably increased as consequence of the large - sum devoted to public education. The schools of the State can now be raised to a standard of efficiency, nat heretofore attainable, and superior to, that of many other Mates, which very fact will naturally increase the patronage and the use fulness of the system. The effect will be to make the benefit of education every year more nearly umivtrsal, thus in a few years banishing illiteracy from the btate. The passage of this appropriation to the cause of public education is a wise and fitting sequel to. the passage of the new suffrage amendment, and will disarm opposition to the adoption of the educational qualification. That the white Democrats of the State with such unanimity have' voted this sum to schools, knowing the large colored population and the small portion ot the fund which the negroes contribute thereto, will do much to silence the charge or the suspicion that the State has not the interests of the inferior race at heart. It cannot be said that the State is disfranchising the ignorant' n;gro and giving him no chance to secure an education, as at least "one maligant northern newspaper has al ready asserted. Universal education, as experience demonstrates,islesirable, and the white men of the S ate of North Carolina have not only by their act expressed their faith in that statement in a very substantial way, but have also expressed their willingness to bear the burden, which presses most heavily up on, thera, as they well know. The Legislature has done well and wisely. " . GENERAL NEWS. The battleship Oregon reached Ma nila Saturday. . The 'First N. C. Regiment will be mustered out April 10th.

The United States transport Msade, having on board the I3.000.000 which is to be paid toxhe Cuban sol diers, arrived at Havana Friday. . Large number of manufacturing es tablishments throughout the country are voluntarily increasing the wages of their employes. This is a'sure sign of business prosperity. . .The burning ot the Windsor Hotel in New York last Friday resulted in the loss of the entire property, the death of 1 6 persons, and the injury of a large number. It was a terrible affair. X The Tloberls, who were run out of South Carolina as the result of an elec tion riot last fall, have returned to their homes in Greenwood and Abbeville counties. There are apprehensions for their safety. As the result of the riot at Hot Springs, Ark., last week, in which five men were killed, Sheriff Williams and three deputies have been jailed, the coroner's jury holding them responsi ble for the killing. - The history of the past week is full of brutal crimes and horrible disaster?: There was the shooting to death by a mob of a number of helpless negroes at Palmetto, Ga.; the killing of a number of men in a street fight at Hot Springs, Ark., and other crimes or l.ke character throughout the coun try. . Then the terrible catastrophe, the burning of the Windsor Hotel in New York city with its attendant hor rors, and a cyclone which swept over some of the Southern States Saturday leaving desolation and in some in' stances death m its path. These things unm cycles, they say. Lu us ho that this wave of crime and calamity wil not soon be followed by another like kir.d. How to Look Good. H?

Bat the bill failed in the Senate after passing the LToispj ind was killed as far as the Legis lature was concerned. Now the Raleigh correspondent of the Newberne-Journal writes that the scheme is not dead yet, anl that it is probable that the money to erect , the building and purchase , the machinery '.will be contributed by the mill men of the State; that it will be operated in connection with the A & M. College at Raleigh, and that the College Board has appointed a committee to look after the matter. We hope this is bo, and that the school may . become' a reality, for the benefit from it . will far exceed ny possible cost involved. If the mill men furnish' the money this would naturally give them the right to be consulted in its management, and they, with their practical - experience. and their opportunities for learning just what is wanted, would doubt less render very valuable assist ance in the training of students As one on the thousands who take an interest in and desire the prog ress of our cotton" manufacturing industry we rejoice at the prospect ot the estabnsftment of the textile school TO THE COCSTY SUPERVISORS State Superintendent Mebane has issued the following circular letter to County Supervisors: The manuscript of the Public School Law and notes thereon were placed in the hands of the printer on March 15 th, but owing to law suits, injunc tions, etc., I have no assurance of 1 definite time as to haying the School Law published hence this letter. The Supervisor will hold his office and discharge his official duties until the end ot the school year, or - until his successor, the Count v Sunerintenrl ent ot Schools, is elected and qualified The County Superintendent of Schools will be elected by the County Board 01 Directors on the second Mon day in July. The County Supervisor can not do any visiting ot schools since the 7th of Marcn, Decause there has not existed a County Board of Education since that date under whose supervision this work must nave been done in order to be in accordance with law. . The new County Board of Directors win auow the County Supervisor pay nr nis services actually rendered public school work since 7 th of March, such as examination of teachers, sign ing vouchers, etc; such compensation as was allowed by law by the County Boards of Education. It would be well for the County Su pervisor to meet with the County Bjards of Education and County Boards of Directors on the second Mon day in April and assist In every way possible to make clear and plain mat ters of record as to the public schools and giye all the informetion possible, so that the school interest and work will not be injured by change of officers. The Township Committees will sign orders of teachers salaries to finish up contracts made with teachers for the schools now in ooeration. The nr. ders to be endorsed by the County Su pervisor as Heretofore. This, I think, is sufficient infoima tion for you until your successors are elected and qualified. Yours truly, C H. Mebane, Supt. Pub. Instruction. STATE JIEWS. " The old board of directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road have refused to surrender to the Democratic board. Result: Law suit. W. E. Breese, the Asheville bauk wrecker, who was convicted last week and sentenced to ten years in the pen itentiary, has given bond for' $30,000 and been released from jail pending the appeal of his case. ; Mr. J. Y.- Hamrick, the fusion com missioner of labor statistics, who at first declined to surrender tohis Dem ocratic successor, Mr. B. R. Lacy, subsequently reconsidered and turned over the offise Friday evening. ' The intercollegiate debate between the University of North Carolina and the University of Georgia,, took place at Atlanta Ga. on the 1 7th, before a large crowd.' The North Carolinians were victorious. The subject was, "Re solved, That United States Senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people," the North Carolina boys having the negative. .
