STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
AS Usual, the Institution Cannot
y Acconnnoiiate all who Apply
Its Past Kecorlr
The eight ", -years of the State
NormaiandlndustriiilCollege-the
pridu of North Carolina will
begin on Toursday, 0tob3r 5th.
Id speaking ot the outlook Pres
ident Charles D Mclver ia a
recent interview, says;
"There will be a number of
pos t-gi ad uate.s students this year.
Some of theru graduates of the
Stale Normal andlndustrai Col
lege and -some graduates of other
colleges. V
'The number of matriculates
for the past seven years has been
about 1.700 represeuting every
ounty in the StateexceptYancey.
The nun-. her of graduates has
been about 170, ali of whom ex
cept six have taught school since
graduated or 'will begin teaching
this winter. The large majority
of people entering any college do
not graduate and many of the
most useful students are -obliged
to ieave college' before receiving
a diploma. Tlie State Normal
and Industrial College Will have
probably about 1,000 reprcsenta1
fives teaching in the schools of
the State this year. They are
in nearly every corn m unity. They
are teaching in every orphanage
except, ono. They have taught
in our high schools aud colleges
"During the ' past
sum met'
twenty fou c of it
s graduates wore
elected to positions in the
graded schools of the State as
f ol lo v s : O n e a t Way n e s v i i I e, a n d
three at Ashe vide, one each at
Charlotte, Salisbury, M t. Airy
and Wilson, four at Albemarle,
three at High Point, four at Win
ston', three at Washington and
-
two at Kins ton.
"I feof very much gratified at
the continued patronage aud
favor shown to the State Normal
and Industrial College by the
people--of the State. It is the
people's college for lh-i training
of their daughters who in turn
.vjii educate in uoaies ana schools
the rising generation of men and
women. This is North Carolina's
best 'educational-investment, be
cause the education of mothers
and teachers is the strategic
point in the education of a State
or race.
"Tiro change that has come,
about in this State during the
p.'ist decade i:j r Nation to womnu's
education is noimug shor? of a far
reaching revolution. In addition
to the 'many prosperous women's
college in the S'ate over ten years
o!d-th following have oeah es
tablished 'recentlv: Ine is tat

i'jgiate, Institute,. The Red
Springs Seminary, the Baptist
Female University' and others.
la addition ih-j doors of the
UuiversUy, Trinity. College and
tn A. and M College have been
opened Lo 'women.
'The general trend of this
pioveme.!it''has bci.n lo make edu
cation more practical, more thor
i .
ough, cheaper in cost and there
fore-in reach 'of more people.
"As usual Ihe college cannot
accommodate ail who apply to en
tor. Since its doors were opened
iu 189- it has each year been
obhw.d to turn a way students
C3 . V
for rack-of room - in its dormito
ries. The dormitory ' capacity
w.'is thon ifj(). it is now 350. A
few of those failing do secure ad
mission to the dormitories board
in private families near the col
!cire. The next 'legislature ought
to provide more dormitory room"
President Mclver continued,
j
'I'hn moiiuieut now. three
weeks before the college opens,
counting local patronage, is more
Uiau 400 students exclusive of
tin nractice. and bbservation
school, where the en roil men t wil'
probably be -50 pupils. The col
leire could easily have had 500 or
000 regular students this year if
there had been sufficient dormi
tory capacity.

RICH SQUARE, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, N Cn THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,
The Sentiment Growing.
(Durhi m Herald.)
The sentiment in favor of le
galized primaries is growing io
the ranks of the democratic party
in tins state, not so much among
the politicians, but nmonu thou-
sands of voters who haveno
sire for office. It has been de
monstrated time and again that
under the present system of ei ct
ing senators it is possible for a
man to purchase his election,
even though a majority of his
pa-ty opfose him. Under the
primary system this would be
rendered more difficult, and its
effect would be to purify politics,
a thing devoutly to be desired.
The candidates who look to the
people" for support will favor the
system, but it is expected that
those who hope to succeed by
turning political tricks will op
pose it. "
Feed All out of the Same

The railroad men are now tell
ing the manufactures and others
that if Judge Simonton decides
against the railroad in the tax
case, the demand will then be made
that the assessment on their prop
erty bo increased. That is ex
actly what has been done, is being
done and will be done in every
case "where property is not taxed
at its"true value in money." The
aw of North Carolina requires that
all property be assessed at its
"true value in money." If there
is any property, private or cor-
porated. not as sessedatits "true
value in money" tax assessors
are sworn to so assess it. Wher
ever there is undervaluation, the
law requires that it be cor rected.
'31 list Have Primaries.
(King's Weekly, Greenville.)
Ali this talk of election of Unit
ed States Senators by popular
votes under existing circumstan
ces is Dure rot. What can be ex
pected so long as a few ring
politicians run things.
A ring bossed convention
would play the mischief repre
senting the people. What we
want and must have, are legalized
primaries. That is the people's
only hope. By that there is a
possibility of the people having a
say in who shall represent them
in the election of U. S. Senators.
Primaries mean death to boss
isms. We must haVs them.
Who cares how hard the bosses
die?
Not Properly Appreciated.
(Wilmington Messenger.)
We are astounded to see that
teachers in the boastful, rich north
are "not always well appreciated
and rewarded. So far from this
they are badly treated, hard
worked and gently stinted. Take
Pennsylvania, with a great popu
lation and vast wealth. The
superintendent, of public instruc
tion make., a statement that
shocks the sensibilities of people
with poper appreciation of useful
laborers in their educational vine
yard. He writes:
"With , the maximum tax rata
allowed by the law the schools in
some districts could not be kept
opeu during six months. In
others the salaries of teachers
were altogether inadequate. For
instance, one superintendent
found that there were teachers
m his county teaching for four
dollars per year less that it cost
the county on an average to keep
one pauper. The county
here referred to is not a solitary
instance."
Very had for Pennsylvania!
Listen asain at the doleful story
of oppression and starving.
In a surprisingly large num
ber of counties tbereare teachers
who get only a small sum in ex-
cus of what it would have tost
the county officials to keep the
same teachers iu tLeiralmsnouse
The average cost per inmate
t brought the state is 2,66 per
week, or $133,32 per anum..:
It is self evident that teachers
who receive for the annual term
a sura below or even slightly in
excess of this amount can make
very little prepe ration fur their
woric.

The Good for Nothings,
The saddest thing to be seen is
the way many people briu- up
their children, not only the poor
and ignorant, but the otherwise
so called "respectable" and even
well-to- do parents. In the early
de-ij'oulu of their children th--y lose
nearly all control of them and
permit ihem lodo pretty muchas i
hey please at home and abroad.
They allow them to form improper
associates, and then, when they
get older, wonder why they do
m proper things and even go the
entirely. They permit their boys
and girls to grow up in idleness,
without a knowledge of any trade
or profession, or even the perfor
mance of the commonest home
and householdduties. Of course,
if not bad or vicious, they become
good-for-nothings, not able to
earn a decent living, or" care for a
amily or home, and have a sorry
ime in the wrorld, especially after
hey get beyond their home pro
ectors. Nearly all family quar
rels and troubles, and divorces
and scandals, arise from these
very facts. The husband finds
his wife unable to care for a home.
and then soon come family jars.
The wife finds herirdsband un
able to earn a decent living, and
hen her trouble begins Some
imes both husband and wife are
incompetents, and poverty and
frequently crime follows. It is
sad to contemplate these things,
and yetotherwise even well-inten
tioned parents permit their chil
dren to grow up into good-for-
nothings, and therelore be mis
erableand unhappy all their days.
But if these facts were mentioned
to their faces Fuch parents would
be terribly indignant. Advance.

true. They adopted the rule of
assessing the timber at 80 per

Troubles That Do Not Come.
1
Most people have troubles.
So m e o f t he se m a y be g rea t ;othe r s
may be slight. Ifis almost uni
versa'dy true, however, that the
heaviest burdens that are borne
are those of anxiety, solicitude,
and apprehension. There is 'the
fear of possible evil that is about
to -Derail-and '.-that ottentimes
doesnot; of loss that is about to
be suffered, but that does not
often occur. Jf we were willing
to lea re' the future in God's hands
as we are to leave the past, and if
we arc ready to live simply in the
persent, accepting His grace and
help for each passing moment,
our lives would be more happy,
as they would certainly be more
efficient. It lias been said that
most people suffer their troubles
three times in apprehension, in
actuality, and iu memory. The
worst -ror--it-' is that a very great
part of this is positively
unnecdssary, owing to'-; the fact
that many of the troubles that
are dreaded nevrr come.' --Very .
few possibilitie-sare-' probabilities,,
and exceedingly few of the prob
abilities become certain ties. Tha
one who bunas utr-casueswno
dreams ir. stead of working, and
who counts chickens before.' thoy
hatched is, at the best, engaged
in protiiiess occupations, and is
sure to have disppoictment in
the- end. But even this disap
pointment, ' after the fair and
pleasing dreams, is no' so severe
on one 's vitality as is the habit of
worrying over possible ills that
threaten. The Lord Jesus Christ
warns and commands ns against
this idle habit of worrying about
the future". We are not to be
anxious as to the morrow, To
morrow will take care of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof. God will see his children
through each day as it comes,
but he does not promise grace to
help before the trouble comes.

Probably 40,000 Negroes
Can Vote,
Chairman Simmons thinks
that between 25,000 and 30,000
colored men in the State can
vote under the proposed amend
ment. We would s u ppose at leas t
that number can vote if the
amendment should pass, as it
will. After 30-odd years of pub
lie schooling, at the expense of
the whites, there ought to be
nearer 40,000 who can vote, be
ing able to read and write. The
whites have expended not less
than s,s. 000,000- probably 10,000.
000 ot their own moDcy to qual
ify neirroes to read and write.
We give this f rom the wide-awake
Democratic chairman:
Tt is estimated that between
25.000 and 30,000 negroes in the
State can now comply with the
tes There are probably in the
State two or three thousand ne
gro votes who are liued descend
ants of what were known before
the war as "free negroes," who
were entitled to vote in-this State
under the constitution as it exist
ed prior to ISSo. these will be
entitled to vote under the 5th
section. There are probably a
few hundred negroesin tr;e State
who were residents prior tolSG",
of States in which negroes were
allowed to vote, and they also can
vote under the 5th section. The
balance of the negroes will not be
aole to vote until they have qual
tied themselves under the 4th
section by learning, to read and
