THE BODY
OF MB. BOND
FOUND.
SUICIDE.
The biay or Frank L. B.id was found
Friday -morning by the Meander Meyers, tn
miles ml a half above Washington.
His fate is a mystery no lpnrer.
There can now remain lit doubt that
the sn'ash in the r ver fro:r tne rail'o id
bridge, heard by Robert Banks and be
watchman at the Tar River lills, was the
leap of Mr. Bond into eternity. '1 be
floating of the body forty miles down the
streams shows that he must have jumped
into tlte middle of the trem.
Upon the receipt of the intelligence
here pieparatiobB were at ) ence niade to
meet the remains at Sparta. J. E. Sim
mons, with a casket, S. Sj Nash, C. B.
Mehagau and J. P. Malletth went for tht
purpose.
The suicide tneory is not perfectly clear.
It is known that points about town of
familiar ansociation with Mr. Bond were
visited by hi n the night of his disapper-
arce,

from
very intima'e. S. much s) that when be
was found mi&UDg Mr; Dancy's was the
arst place towmcn mm iiieaa- wea ,
i or jook.
When found he had only a shirt on.
The body . was not much swollen, but
was very much so before arriving at
Sparta.
The rerrnCins of Mr. Bond arr;ved here
late in the afternoon. Upon the arrival,
the cenner. Dr. Williams, ) with a jury of
six, at onoe held an inquest, and without
difficulty cane to the conclusion tni ne

The body was swolen 16 immense pro

uverage attendance was, whites 762;
colored 1,016. The average length of the
school term was, whites 23 2-5 wtk8;
color. d 201-5. The average sain-ice,
white, male, $29.30, female $28 JO;
colored, male, $25.30, female $17.00.
The number or children in tbe county
of school age are 9,395; whites 2,S'3,
colored 6,682. Tkis census was tiken be
fore the exodus. The school property in
valued at $17,945; white $9,020, colored
8,725.
Last year two county institutes, one for
whites and one for colored teacher, were
held with an attendance of 37 and 38
respectively.
The total amount expended for school-
$12,872.
The report concludes wih the e sug
gestions :
"Require a higher standard o'f schi-lar-ship
in teacher?; drop 3rd grade; limit the
subjects to be taught to spelling, reading,
writing, primary geography, with a
mar by text bioks. For grammar, as n w
uueBt DV text books in the public schools
of tbe Sute worse than a fHrce
A little knowledge of technical grammar
makes a youth either fo lisWly bold r
timid in bis tfforts to express his thoughts.
Much time in the public pchools is was'ed
in this subject.
Uniformitv of books has not succeeded
because purobs will not buy the new
mo .
books when changes have been made
do not believe it will ever succceed unless
out charge to the pupil, and even then the
bxks would have to be amended every
two or three years, or the more intelligent
patro s would not send to the public
schools.
The entire success of our public scmols
deoends more upon tbe education and
culture of their teachers than any other

on a per capita basis as the business
interests of the country expands, ad
that all money issued by tbe pov. ru
ment shall be legal tender in pay
ment of a'.l deb e,f both public and

That we favor t'uat Congress aball
puts such laws as shall lTi3c;tually
proven the dealing in fiii-jied of all
agncuiiural and mcchanic.il produc
tions, pres rving a stringent system
of procedure ia i rials as shall secure
tbe prompt conviction, and imposing
such penalties as shall secure the
most perfect compliance with the
law.
That - we favor the free and un
limited coinage of silver.
That we favor the passage of law
prohibiting the alien ownership of
land, and tb;t Congress take early
steps to devise nome pLn to ob aio
all lands now owned by alien and
foreign syndicates, and that all lands
now held by railroads and other cor
porations, in exceps of such as is
actually ured and needed by them,
be reclaimed by the government and
held for actutl settlers now.
Believing in the doctrine of ','cqual
rights to all, and special privileges
to none," we demand that t -nation,
Ntionl and State shall not be u.wd
to build up one interest or class at
tbe expense of another. We believe
that the tconey of the country should
be kept ai much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we
demand that all revenue, National,
State or county, shall be limited to
the necessary expenses of the gov-,
ernment economically and honestly
administered.
That Congress issue a suffic-ent
amount of fractional currency to
facilitate exchange, through the
medium of the United States mail.
After the reading of the platform,
Capt. C. M. Coke offered an amend
which should have taken the place of
his resolution with reference to the
endorsement of Senator Vance. The
amendment provided that the plat,
form should express crmmendation
of Senator Vance and favor his re
election to the Senate by the next.
General Assembly. The amendment
was adopted amid ringing applause,
and then the platform was nnani
mously adopted.
GREAT THIJiGS GOING OX.
New York Sun.
The dominent commercial ten
dency, as well as the great and im
poitant social phenomenon of our
lime, is Coalitions, Consolidations,
amalgamations, expansions with the
paradoxical title of "limited" these
aDd other forms of getting together,
just now concern tbe whole civilized
world.
Perhaps the most interesting mani
festation of the tendency is afforded
by our own railroads. Their natural
drift toward consolidation he s ber-n
so hastened by the enactment of
meddlesome and oppressive laws,
both national and State, that the re
sults are raOre marked and startling.
AH recent statistics point in the
direction of immense consolidations.
Where formeily one i ailroad ab
sorbed another, now whole systems,
embracing dozens of originally sep
arate end independent corporations,
come together andpass under one
management. And the greater the
coneolidation,the greater the mileage
involved, and the broader its geo
graphic sccpe, the easier the coalition
teems to be effected.
When the railroad'.; of our State
wer- all separ-tte and highly inde
pendent corporalions, such an idea
of union as that now embodied "by
the New York Central system was
it-cobceivab e. Yet there is nothing
more probable thtn tha; iu the very
fu'ur- tbe New Yoik Centra , with
all its magnitude, will be only a link
iu a chain, bearing the same propor
tion to the vhole that any one of its
own little links did to the present
great line from Buffalo to New York.
The consolidation of i he New York
Central ai.d the Lake Shore ctnnot
be much longer deferre'l. It is in-
evitable; and it will be followed, if it
is not proceeded, by a coalition with
the Chicago and Northw4bt-rn a..d
Union Pacific, with the resnit u? a
single and continuous pn perty from
New York to Pi get. Sound.
No student of contemporary rad
road history and development will

tbe Pennsylvania railroad will not
anticipate it by a like rearrangement
and adjustment of properties now
separate, independent, and antago
mstic. There will be, perhaps, four
great transcontinental systems with
transverse dependencies dependent
rpon the competition with natural
waterways and the necessity of drain
ing the commerce of the centre of
the continent and the Southwest to
tbe Gulf. The shortest railroad to
the longest haul by water will pre .
vail against all other competion.
With tbe acquisition by the L"ouis
ville aa.t Nashville of the Richmond
and Danville eystt-m, the group com-
prised within the jurisdiction of the
Richmond terminal, the consolida
tion of the whole southern system
would be practically accomplished.
Some such line of acquisition is un
avoidable; and a determination of the
issue is even now imminent, so rapid
ly and noiselessly do t' ese great oc
casions mature and pass unnoticed
into oblibion.
It is the greatest transformation

Overcrowded.
The Southerner wishes again (o
cali attention of the authorities to
the necessity t-f having a pnblic
cemetery for the burial of our dead.
The burying ground in the' old
church-yard in overcrowded and the
reparer learned that when the re
mains of Mr. McCullen were interred
the skeleton of a person was dug out
of the grave in which he was laid to
rest.
Steps should ba taken immeaiately
to procure grounds for the burial of
the dead, and no longer permit the
burial of any one in the old church
yard for several years.
Mr. Bond's Will.
The last will and testament of the
ate Frank D. Bond is remarkable
only for the gift of a lot on Main
street for a ma onio lodge.
To his wife he gives in ne the
residence and other lot on the
square, all his personal proper' y. and
the us, profits and the rents of the
remainder of his realty. A lot on
water street is given to his brother.
the late John M. Bnd. Tbe other,
with tbe exception of the Coker lot.
is given to his nephew, Charles B.
Mehegan, and bis neice, Mrs. C vi.
Bradly, Mrs. J. P. Mallctt and Mrs
F. Diwuou, after the demue of
his wife.
Tbe Coker lot is given to Con
cord Lodge, F. A. and A. M. if with
in fifteen years it will erect a ma
sonic temple and insert a tablet on
which is cut tbe name of his father,
Lewis Bjnd, and the number of
years he was a me nber of tbe lodge.
This is a handsome gift and should
be accepted by the masons on this
account as well as to perpetuate tbe
name of Bond.
Beatlnc; tne Jute Trust.
The Southern Farmers' Alliance
has accomplished one good thing.
It resolved m convention to ucca
cheap cotton fabric for baling cotton
instead of jute. Tbe consequence
has been that the grasping jute trust.
which, thinking it bad the planters
at their mercy, and not believing
thaa any substitute for bagging could
be found, rapidly advanced the price
o fifteen cents, has been beaten.
The resistance Of the cotton planters
to this extortionate price brought
he matter before the alliance which
biing largely composed of plant err,
pledged its members to use no mord
ute ragging. Tbe result has peen
that the price of jute has fallen to
five and three-quarter cents, and
coaon bagging," we are told, "has
argely taken tap place of lute, and
yromises to drive it out of use alto
ge-. s .. . . . .
lhe jute trust evidently imagined
tbat by reducing the price of jute
below that of cotton bagging they
could cajole tbe planters into dis
carding the cotton fabric and resume
tbe use of lute. It was a threwd
more, but the planter did not fall
into the snare. They have t-ucceed-ed
in getting at cotton b iHng mate
rial that thw underwriters have agreed
to accept in lieu of jut , and they
are not now disposed to abandon a
manufacture which tbe controve-sy
with the jute tiuV forced them t
