Introducing Prof. E. A. Alderman.
President Toms said this was the
most important question now before
the people of the State.
Prof. Alderman made a stirring
speech, speaking of the great need of
the districts outside the cities, and
pointing to this as the only feasible
method for securing public schools of
such a grade as the times demand.
lie led in the discussion, in which

trial School; I’htf. Alderman, of the
State University; and Prof. Hill, of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege. as a central executive committee
to take such steps as it may deem Itest
for the successful conduct of the cam
paign for increased local taxation for
public schools.”
Dll. WINSTON'S ADDRESS.
President Winston's speech was the
event of the day.
The subject of Dr. Winston’s ad
dress was “Popular Education in Rela
tion to Wealth.” He sail! that these
things are requisite to the‘production
of wealth: land or other natural ob
jects, labor and capital. The abund
ance of these requisites and their effi
ciency determine for any country the
amount of wealth it is capable of pro
ducing. There is no way to increase
wealth except by enlarging the quan
tity, or improving the quality of land,
labor or capital.
“In North Carolina the most abund
ant requisite of production is land;
but its efficiency is small. 1 lie next
most abundant leqtiisite is labor, but
it too is lacking in efficiency. The least
abundant requisite, but bv far the
most efficient, is capital. What our
Stale needs, therefore, is more capital
and mote efficient labor; for the effi
ciency of our land depends upon the
labor and the capita] applied to its
improvement and cultivation.
a a a
“Hut why do we lack capital? And
liow shall we get it? Capital is the
result ol saving. H is wealth saved
from consumption and r» served lor
future production. Wealth may come
from a thousand sources, but capital
comes only from saving. We have
little capital, because we save little.
“We are the most wasteful people on
earth. The greater portion ol our ta
iloring population scarcely know what
saving means. A small percentage
have the saving instinct; but lack of
banks, or safe places of deposit for
small earnings, prevents the habit of
saving. Vv hat inducement- is there tor
a vv ag« -earner in the country, or a
house-servant in our average village
to save five or ten dollars during tin*
year? Where would he keep it? He
knows not where to keep it, nor how
to invest it. and therefore he does not
save it. Rut even ten dollars a year
saved ! v every laborer in the State
woiiid non create a capital fund suffi
cient to start every industry necessary
to develop) our resources. The estab
lishment of Postal Savings banks by
tire National government in connec
tion vv nil each money order postoffice
would, in my opinion, more than
double the capital of the State by the
mere stimulus giving to saving in less
than a generation. This beneficent
and far-sighted measure, formerly
recommended by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, has been recentlv
brought forward in the Fnited States
Senate by Hon. M. S. Quay, of Penn
sylvania. Should it become a law. the
National government, would thereby
add more to the capital of the South in
five years than it destroyed during the
whole eovil war.”
Then he spoke at length of the
curse of ignorance and declared that it
was the most formidable obstacle to
the accumulation of wealth in our
State.
“Universal education,” he said, “is
absolutely essential to our progress,
yea. to our independence. It means;
1. A realization of our condition; 2.
a comprehension of something better
and a desire for improvement: 3.
greater capacity for improvement;
4. greater efficiency of labor, resulting
not only from the stimulus of new
wants, but from greater power of con
centration. increased dexterity, supe
rior trustworthiness, greater facility
in learning to use machinery and
greater quickness in inventing and ap
plying new industrial processes.
“Above all, universal education will
improve the condition of the lower
class by lifting them upon a higher
stage of social, moral and intellectual
comfort. This is the basis of any per
manent improvement. No scheme of
philanthropy, no action of the Govern
ment, can be really efficient or per
manent in its effects, unless it im
proves the condition of the working
classes by lifting them upon it higher
plane of social, moral and intellectual
existence. Having ever gotten upon j
this plane, they will not resign it.
“Nothing can accomplish this great
change but universal education, not j
only because it is cheapest, most prac
ticable. and most easily enforced, but j
because it alone permanently affects j
life by moulding character.”
(C ntinueff on Fifth Page )
\ DECLARATION OF W \R.
In view of the talk about war tliNre
is very great interest to know how
declarations of war are made.
They are all alike in matter and sub
stance,with the change of mime neces
sary to let the people know whom
they are to fight. The. United States
have made but two declarations of
war. In 177 b vve were deelared reliefs.
In 18(51 war was declared on the South.
There is no declaration of war in de
claring - ;t state of insurrection. Hut
in 1812 and 184t> we declared war. the
first declaration lining against Eng
land and the second against Mexico.
As England is uppermost in the pres
ent war-like minds of the people, the
declaration of LSI2 is of more interest.
This declaration was drawn by W il
liam Pinkney. of Maryland, then At
torney-General of the United States.
As adopted by Congress it read:
An Act declaring war between the
United Kingdom of Great Britain j
and Ireland, and the dependencies
thereof, and the United States of!
\meriea mid their Territories.
He it enacted In the Senate and!
House of Representatives of the Cni-j
ted States of America in Congress as- |
sembled.
That war be and the same is hereby j
declared to exist between the United!
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land. and the dependencies thereof. I
and the United States of America and
their Territories; and that the Presi- 1
dent of the United States is hereby)
authorized to use the whole land and j
naval force of the United States to
carry the same into effect, and to issue j
to private armed vessels of the United j
States commissions, or letters of mar
que and general reprisal, in such form
as In* shall think proper, and nndei
the seal of the United States, against
tin 1 vessels, goods and effects of the
government of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and tin
subjects thereof.

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican Hustang Uni
rnent extensively advertised here induces me to tell you
how useful It is to persons in the livery business. I have
used It for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every
thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints
I do not think It has an equal, and for such things as
harness galls and rubs it Is wonderful.
I once had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car
riage In a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul
ders and breast that I did not think he would ever be abie
to get on a carnage again. I remembered, however, what
Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses in case of
bruises and had him use it constantly, and in about two
weeks he was as goixl a driver as ever, and not an ache or
pain remained.
I know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but
X thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful
nee-, of M ustang Liniment Yours truly,
w H. LANCASTER.
