Thomas Settle on the constitutional amendment. In an interview last week he'expressed his intention of Advocating and Toting for the amendment, saying he believed it to be the correct Bolution of :a difficult problem. He added: - "There can be no question as to vrhere I stand on national politics. I am a Republican, pure and simple But I have not been, and cannot be, in sympathy with the political log rolling of a great many of the Rev publicans of this state. In this matter I am biased solely by honest conviction. "I may add, merely as a matter of fact, that recently I have re ceived a great many letters from Republican friends, urging that I make a stand for the nomination of governor or s a congressman. This I cannot dp. So long as the Republican party in North Caro lina bases its platform on opposi tion to the constitutional amend ment I cannot conscientiously run on the ticket." - One by one the brainiest and best Republicans are coming over to the side of white supremacy, and by next August we expect to see a majority of the best element of that party voting with the Demo crats on this question. Mr. Settle has already received letters from a number of prominent Republicans congratulating him on the. position he has taken. Together with the brilliant young ex-congressman, they refuse to 'recognize the dicta torship of Senator Pritchard and will vote for the amendment as a matter of principle, risking the censure of those party leaders whose only ambition is to secure and hold office. It cannot be claimed that Mr. Settle jeopardizes his standing in his party by this act; The administration is crowing loudly because the August financial statement shows a sulplus of a little more than four million dollars, but it is not calling anybody's attention to the fact that more than three millions of that surplus came from the sale of the old cuBtom-house eite in New York city, nor to the comparative smallness of some of the regular government payments for that month. There is nothing in the present state of government finances to do any crowing over. There is bound to be another big deficit at the close of this fiscal year, just as there was at the close of the last. A small surplus in teveral months of-the year will not affect the general result, and no body" knows that any better than Secretary Gage. r . When tb Democrats of Ohio nominated John R. McLean for governor they undoubtedly put for ward their strongest man. As edi tor ol the Cincinnati Enquirer he has long occupied a prominent and influential position in the councils of the party, though ha; has never held office. The campaign in Ohio this year will be fought to a finish, for should the -administration receive a rebuke in the Presi dent's own state it would be taken as an indication of the result of the next national election. For this reason the administration will give the Republican ticket all its influence, as well as an unlimited amount of cash, in order that the State may not be redeemed by the Democrats. Sxnatob Prxtchakd wti in Washington city last week and was interviewed by a reporter for the Washington Post on North Caro lina affairspolitical and otherwise. In the course of the interview he said : "The illiteracy of the state, which is by'no means confined to the blacks, is largely the fault of the various Democratic adminis trations, which have not given the people proper educational facili ties." No-one knows better than Senator Pritchard himself that the above statement is untrue. While the educational facilities of North Carolina are not equal to those of some other states (larger and wealthier commonwealths,) it can not be denied by any honest and fair-minded man that what ad vancement has been made along educational lines is due to the fostering care of the Democratic party. The Republican party ha done absolutely nothing for the educational interests of the state Senator Pritchard is a compara tively young man, but he is old enough to remember when the money appropriated to public schools was squandered, stolen, by the reckless and extravagant mem bers of a Republican legislature, and how there were no public schools in North Carolina until the state was rescued by the Democ racy. - The end of the Dreyfus case seems to be in sight, though some important witnesses are yet to be heard. The evidence given during the past few days has been in the prisoner's favor and the chances of an acquittal are seemingly bright er. A melancholy result of the trial so far has been its exposure of the rottenness of the corps of officers at Paris by whom the army of France is directed. If Dreyfus is acquitted it will probably be in suoh a way as to cause his dismis sal from the army, which, in France is greater than the government or the courts of Justice. " j How many of our farmers read the monthly bulletin issued by the North Carolina State Board of Agriculture? It is a most useful and interesting publication and will prove of inestimable value to any farmer who reads and studies it. It is the desire of the publish ers to put the bulletin in the hands of every live and up-to-date farmer in the state, and to this end it will be sent, free of all cost, to every person who wishes it. Send your name and address to the State Board of Agriculture, Raleigh. The price of beef in this country has been raised from 25 to 40 per cent, in an effort to drive Austra lian beef from the English markets; and while we are paying more for that commodity the Englishman is buying the same quality at a lower price than formerly. It is unnec essary to say that the beef-packing industry in this country is con-j trolled by a trust. It would be im possible for such a .condition to prevail where there was free com petition. - We hays received a copy of the twentieth century state edition of the News and Observer. It com prises 228 pages and is the most stupendous edition ever undertaken by any newspaper, so far as we know. Pictures and short sketches of the members of the last legisla ture, as well as of many prominent business and professional men, are presented. Much space is also de voted to the industrial growth and development of the state. With Senator Pritchard misrep resenting the illiteracy of the state and Judge Clark trying to keep out capital, North Carolina de serves the pity of her friends. Under the treaty with the Sul tan of Sulu he is not to collect any revenue. This privilege will prob ably be given to some Ohio man by the administration. Otis is agein in trouble. This time he has discontinued silver as the monetary standard in the Phil. ippines. -The bottom has fallen out of Judge Van Wyck's presidential boom. - THE OPESKG Of the State - Normal and Industrial CollegeOne Month From To-Day In order to answer numerous inquir ies, the following statements are made in regard to the opening of the State Normal and Industrial College and the terms on which, students are admitted : 1.

Our students Will not be permitted to board in homes which take other boarders and only in such homes as will adopt the regulation and discipline of the college dormitories so far as it may be practicable.

P. Strause, of North Carolina, a tobacco expert and head buyer for tbe trust, is now here negotiating for a site on which to erect a mammoth depot for sorting and storing its purchases. This move, it is expected, will drive many small dealers out of the field. Recently the trust bought a million dollar bunch of Wisconsin leaf from jobbers which transaction impressed it with the advantage of having agents buy direct from the farmer, thereby making a big saving, j . 1 The wife of a Wellington, (Mo.) farmer dropped an earring while feeding her chickens last week, and the jewel was quickly gobbled up by one of-the fowls.- Unable te pick 1 out the particular chicken, the killed them all, one by one-twenty-seven in number but failed t recover the earring.
