Although this combine is in existence in plain violation of the law, the iaft administration re fused to prosecute it. , The Taft administration, however, co-operated with the steel trust by giving sec rets of cur battleships to foreign na tions with the understanding, that in' exchange for these secrets the countries thus favored would give a substantial contract to the steel trust.

The Executive Committee of the county Sunday School Aesj iation is preparing a most interesting and helpful program for tbe county Convention, which will be b-ld in Asheboro, on the 17th and 18th of August. The committee is iu com. mu mention with some of tbe best Sunday School workers in the state, and it is hoped that at least three speakers will be secured. Prbf. J. M. Wy former President of the work in this county has promised to attend. Mr. way is well known in the county, and having been en gaged in this work exclusively f jr tbe past four yeais, he is an author ity on Sunday School matters.' The Sunday School workers of the coun ty will be glad to have him present in tbe convention. As the increased and still increas ing interest in Sunday School work in Randolph make the attendance at the county Convention larger and larger each year, it becomes necess ary to limit the delegation, there be ing no towns in the county large enough to accommodate the crowds tuat are interested enough to attend. The following plan of limitation has been adopted. All county of. Seers, all tbe presidents and secre taries of tbe township association, and all superintendents of schools are omcial delegates, but since all these will probably not attend it is necessary for Uose who expect to attend to send their names to Miss Berta Ellison, Franklinville, N. C, and she will place the names in the hai ds of the loc .1 entertainment com mittee. In addition to the above, every school is entitled to one dele gate, and it is earnestly requested that all tae schools will elect their delegates at once and send their names to Miss Ellison. Every delegate, upon being assign ed a bom", will pay a registration fee of twenty five cents, -which will go toward defraying the expenses connected with such a meeting. All delegates will receive free en tertainment by the people of Ashr bo0. Any , Sunday School organized cla.s may send as many vititurs aa they desire. All will be welcome to the sessions of the Conveniion, and the local committee will aBS'st them in securing boarding places. Delegates must toe appointed be forehand, and their mines sent to the County Secretary, Miss B.-rta Edison, if they wish homes provid ed for them. She will mail to etfch one whose name ia sent a card wbich is to be presented to the Entertain ment Committee upon assiguuieut of a home. Send them as soon as pos sible, but have them in the .Secre tary's hands at least a week tefore tbe Convention meets. This is a small favor to ask, but it means a great help to those who are trying to perfect arrangements, so that everything may be ready. All Township Officers who have net held their Conventions are re. quested to do so at once. They suould be he.d in time for reports to be in the bands of the Secretary at least two weeks before the Conven tion meets, and the amounts Bent by check, money prder, or registered mail as soon as possible after receiv ing them. Ihe program will be announced as scon as all the speakers have been secured.

Every thing will be done to help make the stay as pleasant as possible. .

Five new houses have been built within the year at a cost of $3000.000. There are 100 white districts and 20 Col making two less than last year aue iu consolidation. Only two districts in the County have no house, One white and one Col. There were 117 schools taught in the County last year not counting City schools. 98 white and 19 colored. 76 of these white districts have only one teacher, and 18 of the colored, 23 schools of the county hsve two r more teachers. There are six public schools in which high school sub jects were taught- The average term of school in the County was nearly four and one half months. There are now 38 rural libra ries with over 4000 volumes. Six original and six supplementary libraries were added last year which is our full quota, but two others have been subscribed for. There are now 35 rural special tax districts with a special tax amounting to over $7000.00. Six local tax districts voted for spec ial school tax during the past year. 7 The rural census is 7500 white and 1395 colored, while the en rollment was 6056 white and 1008 colored. The average attendence was about 70 per cent of the enroll ment for whites and little less than 60 per cent for the colored, 94 white teachers held first crrade certificates and 8 colored 36 whites held second grade and 12 colored.

Joseph E. Pogue, Secretary of the North Carolina Stale Fair announces that at the Fair this year he proposes more than ever before to try to keep out unworthy shows, aud the executive! committee has offi cially gone on record as desiring only auiuceuients of a high clasp. Col. Pogue, in a recent issue of the Bill Board Bays: "The Fair midway bas come to stay, but net as formerly wi n its rag fronts and its iffeLSive, vulgar platform exhibitions. Iu former. years, Fair managirj were alwa)S ready aud apparently happ) to book tbeir midway aggregations 'catuh as can,4akiug promiscuous cuauces good bad and indifferent all in a jumble. But tiuns have undergone great changes, aud the public taste iu these matceis has followed suit. A shrewd, wide-awake manager will be quick to interpret the de mands ot tbe people, as the hour has struck for high-class display of cletn and up-to-date exhibitions, both free aud paid. They must be made to harmonize with advancing eivilizition. Ettry where and in. every phase of public aud private life iu this great Chtistiau land of ouis, the signs of . tie, tims point with unerring ceriaitW to a wide spread revolution iu the public mind as to the character and quality of public amusement or whatever kind and wherever given. It is now the exception and not the rule, that all offensive, immoral or questionable shows or exhibitions, as well as gambling of every species. are not absolutely prohibited by the most stringent regulation of the local management in obedience to the universally enlightened fltate of the. public mind. The old-time medley of 'bum shows with rag fronts and dirty female ballyhoo platform spielers and barkers are being relegated to oblivion, to be rapidly succeeded by that which is clean, meritorious and instructive."
