Newspapers as Educators.
- Now that the entire country
is waking up to the g'eat im
portance of knowing things and
an intellectual era is c.«»sfi at
hand, there is ore factor that
should n >t be left unhonored.
Into almost every home some
newspaper finds its way and
the boys and girls who have be
gun to spell out their words,
eagerly grasp the copy when it
guts within the portals.
They take the home paper
and relish every sentence tneir
)Ouug minds can comprehend.
A news paper is not like a stale
history, an unreasonable reader
or a foolish primer, but it is full
of live interesting matter. Tells
of events that have just trans
pired and are happening now
and the children become en
thuzed over the knowledge they
gain from the weekly, semi
weekly or daily visits of the
product of the new press.
People that they know are
talked of and it is but natural
that, the young mind will soon
iearn to go further into the cur
rent history as recorded by
these regular issues and before
long they find themselves capa
ble of discussing questions in
an intelligent manner, ques
tions that etfect the welfare of
their society, politics and home.
Then if newspapers are per
forming this function in the ou
ward march of the liteary world,
they should receive the hearty
support of every citizen in the
community, in which they are
published.
We a~k you, in all sincerity,
is there a means of educating
; your boys and girls, that is in
; closer reach than a county news
paper? You can stud them all
'to this school fifty two weeks in
a year for the insignificient sum
;of SI.OO. Will you allow them
to grow up in total ignorance of
what the outside world is doing,
because you tire unwilling to
.give them SI.OO for twelve
months schooling.

it.—Wadesboro Courier.

His Last Hope Realized
[From the S« iitim-1, Gebo, Mout,|
In the first opening of Okla
homa to sti tiers in 1889, the
editor of this paper was among
the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his
traveling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim, he
encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe
beat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and
along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last
hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about
on the ground in great agony,
and in a few miuutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon notic
ed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight
That one little bottle worked a
complete cure* and he cannot
help but feel greatful. The
season for bowel disorders be
ing at hand suggests this item.

Judge Moore's Nomination for
Associate Justice.
Editor of The Citizen : The
Supreme court of the State is
composed of a chief justice and
four associate justices, and one
of the five should certainly be
from the Trans-Montane sectiou
It is only just, fair aud right
that this court, which has so
much to do with the formation
and development of our Jaw,
should be composed of men
from the various sections of the
State. This is so from a nat
ural as well as a political stauel
point. The welfare of the Dem
ocratic party demands that this
great and rapidly developing
territory, with its large white
population, should be accorded
representation by the Demo
cratic State convention in its
selection of men to fill the offi
ces, for which purpose it has
been calleel to make nomina
tions next month.
Since the organization of this
court, more than 100 years ago,
(see address of Mr. Battle, 103
N. C. Reports, 510, et seq.) no
man has ever . been -selected
from this section of our State
for the office of associate justice
and I believe that all right, fair
minded men will agree that the
demand now made is not pre
mature, or that it has not a
substantial foundation.
Every other section of the
State has been honored by the
selection of one or more of its
representative men for this of
fice.
Believing that we are entitled
as of right to name ono of the
candidates for the office of asso
ciate justice of the Supreme
court this section will present,
by virtually a solid delegation,
to the Democratic State conven
tion, when it meets in Greens
boro next month, the name of
Honorable Charles A. Moore of
Asheville, for this office, and
will earnestly and persistently
urge his selection and nomina
tion by the convention.
Judge Moore is in aUrespects
worthy and qualified for the
high place. His character is
above reproach. His loyalty
aud fidelity to his party is, and
alwavs has been, beyond ques
tion. Strong in mind and body
upright and energetic, he is a
type of the finest mountain
manhood. By a life of tireless
industry and perseverance he
has worked himself to the very
front rank in his profession,
and is known by the bench and
bar of the State to be weli fitted
and qualified to fill with honor
and credit to himself and his
State a seat upon the highest
tribunal in the State.
We ask the men of our party
throughout the State to give us
their aid in securing Judge
Moore's nomination and in ob
taining just recognition of our
claim.
Respectfullv,
W. T. CRAWFORD.

Be Kind to Sensitive Children.
There are children born into
the world in these days of ner
vous and industrial strain and
strife so highly strung, so in
tensely sensitive -that they
shrink from a sharp word as
some natures would not recoil
from the sting of a whip. A
curt reprimand will bring the
tear? welling the eyes of such a
child and a sob to its. throat. A
sensitive plant will die under
rough treatment that may be
given a hardier plant with per
fect impunity. Children are
very like flowers. Some of
thein require more light, more
warmth, more care, more con
sideration, more direct manifes
tation of affection than others
do. Denied these they never
attain their fullest possible de
velopment, but are often hope

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 1,
190*2, 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 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 before the
beginning of the next school
year, they will find themselves
uuder the hard necessity of be
ing compelled to buy new books
at the full price, 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
changed for a now book of like
grade upon the same subject at
the price quoted.
