It has oftenbeen remaiked that newspaper men are scarce in North Carolina and . the North Carolina Press Association has more than once discussed the dif ficulty experienced by the various newspapers of the State in getting capable men for their reportorial staffs , It cannot be denied, how ever, that the fault lies not with the young men themselves ; the main responsibility must be placed on our public Bchools since a great percentage of the scholars turned out from them are half drilled in the rudiments of grammar and English composition. These reach tbe universities at an age when it is too late to repair the damage done. Ashaville Citizen. DOING ABOUT CHINA 6R0YE. Chicken Thieves Shot at. An Old Soldier asses Away.

In his aeromobile ever Rheims Henry Farman tiew whizzing a distance that would have canied him from Charlotte to Reidsville Davidson county roads hindering not at all. He only allighted be cause the gasoline tank was emp- tp. Iu his big ligidframe dirigi ble some time ago Count Zeopelin flew a distance that would have carried him from Charlotte into Canada and half way back again. Both aeroplane and dirigible have shown their ability to withstand strong winds, the latter, indeed , being safe against almost auy blast so long as it remains aloft and does not tight its way ahead too obstinately. The monoplane aeromobile, in Blenots fight across the English Channel and later at Rheims, has shown itself scarcely less airworthy than the biplane. Monoplane, biplaue and all other heavier-than-air flyers operate, as every reader doudtless knows, up on the very simple principal of a motor-driven kite, the motor re presenting the string. They are now manufactured on a comomer cial scale in Germany and France The airship has only begun to de velop yet, but its day has unmis takably arrived. Charlootte Observer.

"The average taxpayer," says the State Democrat, "is the for gotten man' all the way from Al drich's robber tariff clear down to the special township levy," The truth of this statement will not be questioned by any unbias ed observer. The Landmark has again and again called attention to the discrimination in tax as sessments against the small property-holder; and the tax on books will show that as a rule the cheap est class of property is taxed to the limit, while the more valuable usually owned of course by the wealthy, is assessed at one-third to one-half. Thu9 the man who has little pays the limit on all he has; while he whohas much is re lieved of much that is justly due. It is the 9ame way all through, as the otate Democat says. In the tariff bill the articles of common agaa Winn nun mtojjgarfgijKj r &sz :aassv mpoire Store mmipsiimv0 South Main St. MERCHANDISE. .... 3c Apron' A 1 go at vSC 5c Island P" yC use among the masses, the things the poor have to buy, are most highly taxed. All the discrimi nations and -the concessions are in favor of those who naed-them least . The burden iB heaviest on those least able to bear it. If the common people could ever thoroughly understand the dis criminations made against them in this respect, something would happen. This sounds like dem agogueism but it's the truth and thetruth should be told if wrong is ever to be righted. Statesville Landmark . Double Track to Glass. The reason for the recent Sur vey work on the Southern Railway between Salisbury aud Glass has Jeaked out. It means a double track between the two points. It is said a contract has been given Lane Bros, to do this work. If this be tiue it is likely the quarry near the toll bridge will resume its old-time activity. Salisbury, C. Nw lot of Calicos.
