C., May 7, 1902. f THE WILSON LETTER. i Perhaps the most interesting 1 topic discussed by the press 1 within the last week has been ( the reply of Mr. Batchelor to 1 Maj. Wilson's letter. { The letter containing charges ! so specific, giving both time ; and place, naturally excited • much comment and is beyond a ' doubt the most powerful attack yet made upon Judgy.Clark. • While from a strictly legal standpoint, the bare making of charges by Maj. Wilson with- ' out giving the proof in con 1 nection therewith, convicts no 1 one, yet from the popular point of view, it is incumbent upon Judge Clark to make a specific 1 denial at least. When Maj. 1 Wilson, according to his own 1 proposition, must furnish the ; proof or shut up. Mr, Batchelor fails to make > this denial in his defense of 1 Judge Clark, save in one par- j ticular. He does deny that the 1 Judge incited cases that he knew, in the course of events, must come before the Supreme 1 Court to be reviewed, that in ' the reviewal of said cases he wrote the opinion, etc . and supports the denial with con clusive evidence. That is well : enough as far as it goes, but the people, judging from the com ments of the press from all parts of the State are demanding 1 more. The public waut to see 1 that letter, and, as has been suggested by one of the leading papers of the State, Judge Clark should either deny its author ship or authorize its publica tion. We understand that ex- Gov. Russell manifests his willingness to publish the let ter if authorized by Judge Clark The people want to hear from Judge Clark, himself. To County Superintendents. I enclose a printed list of books adopted for use in the public schools by the State Text-Book Commission and of prices and exchange prices of •.these books. I desire to call attention to the fact that the use of these books in the pub lic schools will be compulsory, under the law, after July I, 1902, and that, if old books now in use are not exchanged be fore that time, the exchange prices, according to the con tract entered into with the pub lishers by the State-Book Com mission, can not be taken ad vantake of by patrons of the public schools. I wish to urge you, therefore, to send written official notice to all the teachers in your county urging them to notify all children and patrons of their schools, and to give notice to all the people of your county through your county pa per urging them to take ad vantage of these exchange prices before July 1, 1902- If the patrons of the public schools fail to avail themselves of these low exchange prices befo.-e the beginning of the next school year, they will find themselves under the hard necessity of be ing compelled to buy new books at the full pric£, and their old books will be left as useless property on their hands. This would mean, of course, a great loss to the people of the State and a decided gain to the pub lishers, Any book that has been used or could have been used by any child in the pub lic schools of North Carolina before July 1, 1902, may be ex-1 changed for a new book of like grade upon the same subject at the price quoted. 1 send you under separate cover 300 copies of this letter. Send a copy to every teacher and school committeeman. ' Very truly yours, J. Y. JOYNER, Supt. of Public Instruction. DRESSMAKING. I am now ready to do any kind of sewing you may need upon short notice. You will find me on the corner next to the Disciple church. Mrs. Jno. L. Phillips. CdUWACKEH R We take the following from the New York Sun. It was ■ written several weeks ago by ] I Mr. R. L. Godwin of our town, ' but At the present, a student at the Uuiversity. It reads : "To the Editor of The Sun. 1 Sir: For more than a, j quarter of a century there has , been no question of such vital j i importance to the South as the | Crumpacker resolution now ] peuding in Congress. This resolution was introduced in the House directing the Speak- ] er to appoint a committee oi thirteen to investigate the va lidity of State election laws and thereby find out to what extent the voting population has been reduced. . 1 Mr. Crumpacker says it is i not the purpose to make the in- ! quiry sectional. It matters not what the purpose of this reso lution is, it is obvious that it i will directly alfect those South- : ern States which have limited the franchise of the negro. We admit that a number of the ne groes have been intimidated and ballots illegally counted in the South. But is it a fact that these have never been frauds and corruption in Northern States?* Yet the Crumpacker faw. if adopted, will not in terfere with this at all. It can only reach those States which have amended their Constitu tions in order to prevent the evils of negro domination. The Southern States which have amended their Constitu tions are more familiar with their needs and absolute neces sities than any one else. This is well understood in the South and the Southern people will never accept this bill. It may not be partisan, but it will be so construed by the Southern people, whom it directly alfects. It will increase race antagonism and revive the most bitter sec tional strife. The Southern people are doing all in their power to educate the negro and they will give him the ballot as soon as he is fitted io use it. What the South needs to-day is peace and not so much politics. Why does not Mr. Crumpack er urge forward the Isthmian canal question or something that will be a permanent good to the South? (Jive the South time and peace and she will solve her problems. To-day peace means prosperity. All such investigations tend to engender fierce opposition to everything the North favors, whether it be good or bad. In this way the progress of the South is materially checked and the solid South strengthened. There is no doubt but what our constitutional amendments have accomplished a great good in many ways. This is seen in the equalization of the negroes among the several States. Where there are educational qualifications education has been wonderfully stimulated The negro is needed in the South to carry forward its various industries. To-day the North and South are nearer strongly united and dependent upon one another than ever before. At present the South is mak ing long and rapid strides in industrial an d commercial progress and its most important need is peace and freedom from aU such useless measures as the Crumpacker resolution, R. L. GODWIN, Chapel Hill, N . C. After i t Years SuftVri«s. "I have been atilicted with sciatic rheumatism for fourteen years," says Josh Edgar, of Germantown, Cal. '"I was able to be around but constant ly suffered. I tried everything I could hear of and at last was 1 told to try Chamberlain's Pain Palm, which I did and was 1 immediately relieved and in a short time cured, and I am hap ' py to say it has not since re- turned."

The Cotton 801 l Worm. 1 I ( Now is the time to cope with , the boll worm, which did .so ( much damage to cotton in the , Southern tier of counties of North Carolina last year. This | worm is exactly the same species as the one which attacks green corn in the ear, and it is by using corn that we fight the ■ worm. i Plant occasional rows of very early sweet corn through the cotton field, so that it shall be in tender ear at the lime the bolls are forming on the cotton. ( The parent moths of the boll- ( worm will by this means be in duced to deposit the eggs on the corn and much of the cotton , will be spared. When the cotton bolls are well formed, and the ears of corn have become badly infest- ( ed with the worms, the corn should be cut and the worms arc thus destroyed. FRANKLIN SHKRMAN, JR..

The end seems a'long way from the beginning, but there is a vital connection between the two. Some people always seem to think they can go back and fix up their record. What would you think of the builder who left big gaps in his foundation wall, with the intention of fill ing them in by and by*, when | the structure was near com pletion? If you had a house to build, would you give such ain'an your patronage? And yet per haps some of you who read this ire looking indulgently on cer tain faults and failings, telling yourselves that there will be time to correct them by and by. Life is all of a piece. To-day's failure will influence us ten years from now. Do not think that you can start with care lessness or indifference and reach a satisfactory ending Selected. 2\'o li«SM of Time f I have, sold Chamberlain's ' Colic, Cholera and Diarrlitea ( Remedy for years, and would . rather be out of coffee and sugar than it.

A plucky woman scored an • I unusual victory in a contest \ I with the Southern Railway 1 Friday night. She got on a j Pullman car attached to the Southern's train at Birming ham Friday afternoon, and showed a ticket and a Full man ear coupon for Washington. When the train arrived at At lanta Friday at 11 :U0 it was found that the woman was the only passenger on the ear tick eted for the North. When she was asked to transfer to anoth er car attached to the north bound train sin. produced her, Fuiltnan coupon from her card case and said : "This entitles me to a sec tion in this car to Washington.'" "That is all right, madam," replied the conductor. "Other arrangement* have been made and this" car will not go through." "I think it will," said the lady. "My coupon says 1 am to ride in this car to Washing to, and I don't propose to leave the car." Eil'orts of the oliieials to i make the woman leave the Pullman were in vain. She was perfectly cool and deter mined ; and finally the railway oliieials admitted defeat bv at taching the Pullman, with its single passenger, to the north bound train and carrying it through to Washington. The car was without a conductor or : porter, and passengers along the way thought it a dead head car; but Mr. J. M. Culp, traific manager of the Southern, and I J. L Cox, of Atlanta, a solici ■ ting freight agent for the road, who were on the train, told the story of th,? occurrence at At lanta and admitted defeat for their company. The name, of the woman was not given by the Southern oliieials. She I was well dressed and distin guished looking.—Greensboro . Record. Actiyity a Blessing. We may overcome depression by duty. It is a blessed thing . to have something to do. Some : disaster overtakes us or a great ; sorrow swoops down on our . spirit, and it seems that life • can have nothing in store that r i- desirable. But life still has its wants, it still has its humble duties, and we take them up, - almost mechanically at first, but before long we iind that they are medicinal Thank God for something to do ! The de pression of an active spirit fre quently arises from enforced idleness. It was after John the Baptist was shut up in prison that he sent his disciples to say to Jesus: "Art thou he that } should come, or do we look for 3 another?" Jesus did not re proach the prophet for asking „ such a question. His forerun- J j ner had not lost faith, but his active spirit was depressed by J confinement within the black I walls of the mountain fortress I of Machaerus.—Advance. —OF— CHEAP CLOTHING.

In public matters co-op erate." The success of all pri vate ventures and the prosper ity of all communities based up on the intelligent application of the foregoing principle. Competition is the life of trade when competition is legitimate open and above board. It brings out the energies and di rects the ambitions of our mer chants, farmers and manufac turers ; it leads to the more care ful selection and buying of mer chandise ; it prompts the farm- j er to improve his stock and en large the varieties of his pro duce ; it compels the manufac turer to seek new outlets for his wares am) improve the methods, of creating. All advancement j in private business is the result; of legitimate competition, which i means the spirit to advance one's interests and not the in-j clination to push a competitor; down hill Paradoxical as it may seem, competition is the surpassing of your neighbor in the marts of trade by conscientious means and no forcing your friends to the rear by questionable meth ods, misrepresentations and dishonest scheming. The advancement of matters of a public nature, such a e ! building schools, maintaining chin-lies or the organizing of a manufacturing enterprise, calls for the co-operation of the men who are competitors in their private business. The men who compete honestly and conscien tiously with their neighbors are the men the community can de pend upon to co-operate when the united efforts of all are re quired to promote the welfare of the comniuniiy, and at the same time will make any one hustle to keep up with them in the competition for business of an individual character. It is the small bore*man, sel fish. unscrupulous and grasp ing, who disparages his neigh bors, .mistakes opposition for competition and who will never co-operate to advance the wel fare of the community which he burdens.—Wayne Covntv Advertiser. Make the Most of Pleasures. There is a story told of an old gentleman who never ale cherries without putting on his spectacles, so that each cherry should look as large and tempt ing as possible. If we are going to wear magnifying glass es at all, it is certainly sensible to use them on our pleasures, and make all we can of each one. j Some young folks act on just, the opposite principle from this old philosopher. They save their magnifying glasses till there are difficulties in the way Every mole-hill is made to ap pear a mountain. Every bur den looks as large as if only a giant could lift it. Troubles are big enough without any magnifying. Make as little ;i possible of them and the most possible of j our pleasures.—Si - lected. ~~0 ASTO ET.IA. * Bears the _y?
