Cssvar Cone, who is one of the five signers of tbe "Hill" manifesto, is so iofloeotie) with tbe Republicans tbat their convention in Guilford eouuty committed tbe grave impropriety of passing a resolution denouncing tbe indictment of bis mill dam by tbe grand jury, which case is now pending in court. The Ioter-Siate Commerce Commis eion report tbat in 1803 when automatic eai-eouplers began to be used 11X00 railroad employes were annually killsd or wounded in coupling ears. Mow by reason of the ute of automatic couplers they report tbat the comber of killed and wounded annually from that eeou is un der 3 000 a year, a saving of 8 000 killed and wounded annually, tbongb there are one-fonrth more railroad employes than in 1S93. Tbe Commission hopes there will be a total cessation of such losses when tbe law is enforced. Tbej report tbat tbe first decisions to enforce it were made by North Carolina Sap preme Court in tbe Greenlee and Troxler eases and tbat other courts are follow iog those decisions. Judge Clark wrote those decisions wbieb have aided to save tbe lives and limbs of so many thousands of railroad employes and it is precisely because be did write them that tbe railroad papers and all tbe editors they can rent, have been abus ing him. The statement in tbe Bill eirculat tbat T. N. Hill was a brave "Confeder ate soldier" is no more true tbaa bis being a good democrat (wbieb party he lias bolted ever since tbe magistrates of Halifax abolished his Interior eonrt). T. N. Hill was in no battle during tbe whole war. For a very short time be was in a cavalry company, bot before bis regiment was ordered to Virginia be obtained a place as Clerk and Mas tor in Equity an office withont duties in war times and lived in safety in tbe secluded purlieus ot Halifsx town, while his democratic opponent for Cbiet Justice, tboogh nnder military age, was facing battle and hardship at tbe call of his country. Tbe railroad people and their rep ubliean allies havs abused Judge Clark (or bis decisions, but are specially care f ol to nams no eases. Why f Because tbe courts can make no decision nnless three judges agree, and in most eases all five agree. So to eondem the one Democratic judge they would have to eondem two, three, or foor timet as any judges of thsir own eourt T. N. Hill and W.H. Day wereta two attorneys wbo represented tbe W. & W. railroad when they claimed perpetual ciemptloa of all their lines, built or to be built, from taxaliqn. Judge Clark wrote the deeision tiling tbeir vast Sroperty, Alsbrooks v. R. B , 110 N. C .eports. Now Hill (wbo it a near eon Section, by marriage, of tbe president ot tbat road) it appropriately enough candidate for Cbiet Justies against Judge Clark and Day, is Hill's diaeov rer and chief bottle bolder. comm. la 16G3 lbs Republican party had complete control in every department at the State government Incompe tency and corruption were the crown ing characteristics of tbe party's histo ry, and bo man in this day will attempt to defend the administration from 68 to TO The Democratic party hat adminit tared the 8tate's ifftirs for a quarter of century, during whloh time hundreds of miles ot railroads hare been bnilt, public institutloot have been enlarged ftnd new ones established, and in all tbit long period not a tingle instance vf corruption can be cited. J. M. udgtrathibblcsviile. i . v.. iDWanoi ii TBI tonn iot mttv cutis oi triDiiiToon, Writtoa for lbs Observer by Dr. Klngibur. If the reader could tee half of the editorials, communications, letters, ad dresses, Ac, on education In lbe8onth, and tbe negro problem as an annex, tbat I formerly saw bot rarely read five lines ot them, and I saw only a moiety of tbe whole productiveness, he would better understand the endless gabble and tbe constant rolling of lbs streamt in fhod of aolomoaio wisdom and unwisdom. It is sometimes almost-impossible to avoid reference to some views tbat one must see. When tbe everlasting negro question is not np, the trtmsndout illiteracy in tbe South it brought for the tboosaotu time to the front, and you read the ab surd views or the imperfect informa tion effered. Just now thert it a furore over what is popularly called technical or practi cal education. A vast amount is writ tsn on this. Tbe South is generally flODSidfla ta bi faf behind (he North in wealth and education, and it it almost invariably admitted or asserted that it is tbe Booth's blonder and crime thst this is so. But when tbe tacts involved are considered, and it is remembered under what most unfavorable eircnm stances, and under what a huge cloud ot darkness ths Booth began bueinets after tbe long, barbaric war, where vandalism left it prostrate and bank rupt, the marvel is seen to be, not tbat the Sooth had been recreant to a great doty not thai tbe South had shut its eyes to the saddaet environments and greatest provocations not that tbe South bad not seiied the opportunity and sought by self sacrifice and heroic endeavor, and a generosity unexam pled, to meet all the pressing, eonsum tog necessities. Not tbat, (or it acted grandly and nobly beyond all prece dent or historic record. It strove mightily to elevate and improve the liberated negroes their property wrested from them by an army ot five to one and to divide with them any fund for education that in their great poverty and desolation tbey might be able to raise. You will find editorials in southern papers that will at once admit the many short eomiogs and the wide prevaleoee of illiteracy in the South, aod particularly in North Carolina, and never explain cause, and show onder what extensive disadvantages and d.ffbulties our people have striven to accomplish more for education than bss been done before noder equal em barrassmeots. I North Carolina today suffers from a larger illiterate population than aoy of the forty-seven States. Bot tit thirty-five years it baa put forth brave efforts to prevent tbe wide, wild move ot illiteracy from inundating and de stroying. In tbat time it hat expended perhaps $75 000.000, ia its poverty, to educate tbe liberated negroes. It had the best common schools io all South land before tba eivil war, and it is steadily reducing the high illiterate maik. Tbe above was written some months ago. Recently I read with mueh pleasure a defence of oer people by Col. D. Wortbiogioo, of Winston, an able lawyer and the author of "The Broken 8word,"a book tbat merits a wider reading, for it will do good. It appeared about eight months cr more before Dixoa's widely read "The Lwpard's Spots." He wrote to Hon. Joseph Story, of New Hampshire, in reply to a question propounded relative to a lying statement of a certain peri pa talis slanderer, one Rev. Seott, of Boston. Tbe reply is excellent, but here I have to reproduce .the closing paragraph that is as trutb'ol as ger mane and timely. Cot Worthington writes of tbe rights aad privileges of ths negroes : "Their rights ot person and property are not only saferaarded in oer courts, but we expend SO per cent, of the mney upon their edoeatirn. Since 1875 we have contributed $5 600 000 to iheir education, and ia ali tbese millions lbs negro hss paid less than 10 per eent. We have 2 120 school houses for them and 220.189 negro children are now enrolled in our public schools. It you could see our condition as it was between 1E65 and 1875-oor State aid waste, bankrupted in credit. 40. 000 ot onr best eiiixans disfranchise,, a proud people onder tbe dominion of former slaver, our government in the bands ot tbe lawless, vicious and de piaved, and a government tbat elosed the doors ot every rebooi bouse and every church -you could then bsvs a taint conception of the heroic efforts ws are now making to preserve our eivilixttion aod to educate our people, wnite and Dlael." There ia mueh to say for education and its necessity and bleemags, bet thers are highly favored communities in wbieb education is ths role and wealth a concomitant while immorality and drunkenness and crimes aboond. Thia shows that there is something lacking in the system, and that there it something mueh higher and grander ana more precious tbaa ability to read, write and eipner. 1 protest against a sweeping demonstration by Sooth era teachers and Northern writers ot tbe criminal neglect ot education, and the eoosf quent failure on tbe part of tbe South to be rich like tbe North in countless billions, and to show eommer cial advaoees made by the neat domi natmg section. 1 opine that there is something better tbaa ttosey, more glorious than Commercial ism. It it found in a high moral character, and a spiritual life, ennobled and purified and aanatified by the Divine Spirit Too may endow yonr schools by the ten thousands, build your colleges by the hundreds, crowd tbem with millions of children, and give tbem all possible mental ant moral training, and their moral being neglected, tbev art reallv far below any proper standard of a genuine and glorious civilisation. If tbe Bible is lodeed,. as it is, tbe iosr rant and per test Word of Jehovah, tbeo tbat education it extremely defective tbat leaves out Ged and His Divine Love. Victor Hugo, ia '"The Bench back of Notre Dame," says that in Paris about A. D. 1450 there were forty col leges, and yet tbat was a most visions. deplorable great city ia its putridity and abandonment to dissipation, Itut ana crime It baa innumerable churches, immense schools, mutb splen aor, out it left tns unrist out of the count, and waa filled with all manner of sin, corruption, vice and putrifytng tores. It waa really another Sodom. nortbern men have tbeir eves noon the South and are talking ot spending much money in tbe Sooth for eduea tion. If well spent it will be accepta ble. Tbe Booth is poor indeed, but it no beggar. It bat not been soliciting tbe rich North, plethoric i h its im CASTOR I A For Infants tad Children." Ito Kind You Ha.t Always Bought Bear the Sigzmtsnoi mense gains by grinding tariffs, to hslp to relieve it t illiteracy aod its bur dens. Ths North began after tbe war to pour out ot its immense cornucopia ill money for education in tbit gieat section. But the negroes were ths sols recipients with ths exoeptioo of per haps two schools, one in our own fa vored city. So much baa been done tor the negro by the North, tbat a negro teaouer lately spoke in the North and told the people tbat bit race bad double the advantagea for education that the whites had in the South. Tbit it probably not true, or only in part. While the impoverished, struggling whites have essayed to educate their own offspring, they have been marvel ously generous to the negroec around them dividing the school fund bs tween tbe races. Thua burdened tbey were overlooked as to benefactions, and ridiculed tor prevailing illiteracy, Ths negroes have been largely helped by the gifts of tbe North. How mueh good his been done It at least prob lematical. la the rash for money waking -now the cry ia heard, educate tbat more money may be made. I believe tbat a wiser view ia to educate tbat honor and virtue, intelligence and character, morality aud piety may be enlarged and more widely prevail. Many a Sbyloek reading that will be ready to dismias the writer ot it as an enornsted old fogy and a hopelesa failure in mou ey getting. - Tbey will be perhaps cor rect all through.

C, Oct. 0, 1002 The widely advertised coufereuce be tween the President, the railway presi dents and the representativec of tb stnklag coal miners hat passed into his tory aod without apparent beneficial results. President Roosevelt made a vigoroMS and tlcquenr appeal to both parties to sink their diSsreoeet for ths common good ot humanity which must inevitably softer serious hardship a a result ot prolongation ot the "trike.l President Mttobell, ot tbe Mine Work era' Union, promptly replied with a proposition to submit all diffarcoea to a tribonal to be appointed by the Prcsi dent, hit men to go to work immedi ately and to abide by the deeision of tbat tribunal for a peiiod ot fiom one to five years at the tribunal might direct. At wat to have been expeoted from the aotooratio atatemente of ths operators in the paat, they refused to reoogum Mr Mitchell or to consider hit proposition. Their one end it to crush the onion and nothing thorl of that will content them. They pictured, in lurid terms, the violence which bat accompanied the ttrikt and blamed tbe anion for it, although it It well koown tbat in tvery instance the nuioo and ita president have deplored the violence and, in to far at possible, have restrain ed the members. Neediest to tay the President wat sorely disappointed at the failure ot bit efforts. It is now predicted tbat tbe President wil take more drastic measures to end the ftnka and will possibly call Con great in special session. Jutt what Congress will be asked to do, it to called, is not made clear. The opera tors, although constituting a combine in violation ot the law, are the absolute ownera of tbe coal mineeand it it qo.ee tionable if, onder tbe law, Congress can enact legislation which will effect tbe case. Tbe one weak point in the Prcs ident's argument wat tbe fact that Governor Stone had failed to preserve Order in tbe coal distriett, for that en abled the opcratprt to intimate tbat tbe government wat In tbe tame petition at tht strikers. President Bacr practi cally told the. President tbat he had Interfered in a matter that wat none of bis business and President Olypbant sent a representative instead ot coming himself to the conference, while Presi deut Citeett, ot tbe Pennsylvania Bail road, ignored Mr. Roosevelt's invitation to be present. Tbe recent order of Postmaster Gen oral Payne, by which tbotc postmas ters appointed by the President are left free to participate io polities and are relieved from tbe restrictions which apply to the employee eomiog nnder civil service provisions, will be a tooroe ot gratification to a largs number of postmasters throoghout the country. The msjority ot these men owe tbeir appointment to political influence and, if they were incapacitated from partie ipating in the politics of tbeir respective localities, would soon lose tbeir infill eoec aud their positions. Under the new ruliog they may run primaries, attend conventions or collect money tor campaign purposes with impunity. Another accent ruling of the Poet master Bcneral is to the effect tbat no one but the properly authorized inepec tors of rural mail route can condemn mail boxes erected on such rentes. It bas been tbe custom heretofore for carriers and losal postmasters to exer cise their own jadgment in condemning mail boxes, frtqueutly causing serious inconvenience to the residents. From oow on residents will be protected from this annoyance Protests continue to arrive at the Treasury Department against the dras tic measures which tbe Seerctary ot the Treasury bas adopted to relieve tbe money stringency among tbe Wall Street spccnlatori. The protectants claim, with reason, tbat ibe substitu tion of state bonda and miscellaneous securities for United States bonds is a menace to tbe financial integrity of tbe government and establishes a most dan gerons precedent. They say that with such securities listed according to the ptivate judgment ot the Secretary aod bit advisora, Treasory ttatementt will come to mean nothing and subsequent seoretariet are liable to find themselves loaded op with worthiest collateral at a heritage from their predecessors. It is more than probable, however, that those wbo thus protest fail to appro oiata tbe magnitude of tbe pressure which was brought to bear on Mr. Shaw by tbe Wall Street interests, wbieb even went so far as to spread a report to the effect that be intended to resign aa a practical threat to compel hia acquiescence with tbeir wishes. Tbe report which comes from Cbicsgo of tbe speech of Senator Doliver before the National Lsagoa of Republican Clubs will prove another heartbreak to the republican leaders wbo are eo stren uously opposed to tariff revision. Oa tbe other band, there it no groond for tbe Seoator'aassnmptiou that tbe trust will fall ot tbeir own weight That certain trnstt bave failed it undoubtedly trne but tbat the majority will do so is contrary to reason so long as tbey have tbe unnatural stimulus of a protective tariff wbieb protects them from ontaide competition, they having already de stroyed all internal competition In their respective lines. Tbe democrats who are returning to wasbiogton Irom ths Mew York con ventioq are enthusiastic in regard to ths prospsctt ia that state and several predict tbat Color will defeat Odell. It rt certain tbat tbe platform will attract vast number of people who are tnf feriog from tbe effects of the coal strike and it is sate to sav that the fall alee tions will witness democratic gains all along ths line. The news comet from Massachusetts of a tuddsn attempt to amend the state republican platform in favor of tariff revision, which wat only prevented by 'he shrewd tcatiet of Senator Lodge. While the plaokt io tbe Massachusetts platform may ordinarily be of minor importance, in tbit Instance the move mtnt it lignifleant as demonstrating tbe widespreed demsnd for a revision ot tbe tariff, a demand which promise to eventually unseat tbe republican party in favor ot that party which bat alwayt stood tor low tariff. It it squally significant that one of tbe most ap placded utterances at the New Tork democratic convention wat the old slo gsn, "Tariff for Revenue only." The indications are that history if about to repeat itself, tb. X S hester Deal. E. K. Proctor, Jr., Eiq., died at hit residence in Lambert on on Friday af ternoon at t o'clock.
