WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1899.
It is said that the present, legis
lature has made a saving of $7,000
over the session of 1897 as to cleri
cal help alone. This is only a
email proportion of the amount
saved to the people in other ways,
besides upholding the dignity and
honor of the commonwealth. .
The army reorganization bill
prohibits the sale of intoxicants on
premises used for military purposes
by the United States, thus effectu
ally doing away with the post ex
change or canteen. This is a con
cession to the temperance sentiment
of the country and was secured in
part through the reform bureau at
Washington, which" is very' active
in securing legislation of a reform
character.
Western tanners are now trying
to effect, a combination with: the
large tanneries in-the East to orga
nize a Leather Trust, with a capi
tal of $6(000,000. The new orga
nization will be called the American
Hide and Leather Company, with

ning both the investor and the con

The subscription price of the
North Carolina Journal of Educa
tion, published in this ' city by
Prof. P. P. Claxton, has been in
creased to $1.00 per year. - This
publication was, established a little
over a year ago as a sixteen-page
journal, but was soon increased to
forty pages, which has been adopt
ed as its permanent size. While
the Journal is designed to be of
special interest to the teaching pro
fession, the variety ,of matter it
contains makes it of value to. stu
dents and the friends of education
in general. Prof. Claxton is an
experienced educator and is pecu
liarly fitted for the duties of pub
lishing an educational journal.
The continued illness of United
States' Circuit JuQge Simonton, of
the fourth judicial circuit, com
prising the states of Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North and
South Carolina, has led to the be
lief that he will resign. It that
event there will be various candi
dates 'for the position, Senator
Pritchard being one of the men
mentioned. Another report has it
that Hon. James E. Boyd, of this
tjcity, assistant attorney. general of
the United States, will receive the
appointment and that (Governor
Russell will succeed him at Wash
ington. This would doubtless be
very pleasing to Russell, as he is
known to have a desire to leave
North Carolina.
