Following is the Post editorial referred to above: it Is nonsense, and worse, knowing that a vicious and d in gerpus enemy Is lurking near, to take no step even of ordinary precaution to avoid his ravages upon us ' There Is a disease in several places in this State which whatever if may be, is enough like smallpox, possessing so many of the disagreeable if not danger our cbarasteristics pf that loath some disease as to cause coaster nation wherever it appears, and to keep people away from it lo cality. Some call it chickenpox, but those physicians whose duty it ia. '.' by law, to investigate all diseases which may appear pro nounce ii smaiipox, ana issue ine necessary warning. Therefore ip law, if not in-actual fact, and in effect so far as the anxiety creat ed, among the, people and it- spreading qualities are concern ed, H is smallpox.-" -',' Now, whatsbaU wedo about it? ts bad effect can be destroyed by careful attention and nursing, but its appearance can be avoid jid altogether by proper precau Won, '.which is still belter..? What sbaU we.do? What should every com mvrhity do, at once?

It Is a cause' of great rejoicing that the type of the present out break is of so mild a character. But this does not justify a person in taking any risks. Wherever it has appeared very prompt and heroic measures, iocludiug shot guns have been resorted to, but uot until Its appearance and after much harm has beea done to bus iness and social interests. If there are any lu Raleigh who have not been vaccinated within a year, he or sne,grown or young should be vacciuated at once. In view of the travel from place to place and the certain existence of the disease at many points not remote from this city, every rea ton snggesta the fullest precau tiou be taken to prevent its ap pearance here again. There can not be many'iu-the city who weie uot Vaccinated a few months ago, but the trouble is that few are an invitation to the disease and its attacks on them cau destroy the business and other interests of the whole community lor a sea son. ' . . The 'people cannot shut their eyes to truto and suffer. It is a fact that a disease which a com petent : authority' pronounces smaiipox has appeared io a nam- oer of towns of this State. It behooves the authorities, therefore, in every sec i ion, to be stir themselves at once and exer cise - tbe powers which tne law gives them by enforcing the strictest regulations necessary to prevent the appearance or spread of the disease.

' - The., two ready estimate of a targe majority In favor tbeof con stitutiocalalmCmdment, io be vol ed upon next August are already crowding the columns of enthu slastioStfUe papors. . Fifty thousand majority, say some ot , tbe editors, as though that, figure was a conservative estimate. What ' real: basis is there for any :, such ' estimate? Certainly nt'oa at tne present time, nor likely to be.' In the 1898 election with the entire State aroused in the cause of while supremacy'. therb was rolled up a majority of somer seventeen thousand. Today there is an organized ef fort - to defeat 'he amend meut. and by a crowd that has energy and means. , - Ever since tbe successful elec tion of 1898, the Democrats -have deluded' themselves with the thought of how easy it was, and that the August election of 1900 would be a walk over, ith a ma - jority of immense proportion. This "easy victory" for 1900 has stimulated the office seeker, until on every aide, in nearly every issue of the State papers can be found tbe announcement o some candidate for public of fice. Thus it is that the 50, 0Q0 ma jority estimate works dangerous ly for the success of the amend ment. It breeds office Seekers, not workers for' votes to carry the amendment to a success .. The over confidence which an easy victory, with a big majority creates, is the most dangerous factor which the people -favoring currying of the amendment have to faou,,and. overcome, and one which if carried to its end, means defeat .tot tne amendment next X&gust.' . '"' In&iead'-df ' estimating' fifty thousand '. better striye that tbe majority teach five thousand, for the conditions are not so favora ble that a five thousand majority bet JJetnoorats and believers in white supremacy favoring carry ing the amendment throw away the idea of having a sure thing next August, then there will be work and a successful election for them. But let them beware of over confidence. Therein lurks the danger of net only partial sue cess, but a possible overthrow. The Reason Why, Tbe Postmaster General sheds several barrels of briny '.ears bo rn se there is a deficit in the pos tal department of six millions for he past yer, which he says is chargable to the admission of books as second class matter. He knows better. Me knows tnat every one of his predecessors have shown that the deficit is caused by the payment to tbe railroads of an exhorbitant rate for pulling the mails. Thay have so stated. If the mails will ad mit merchandise at 6 cents peri pouud instead of 16 now charged, it will increase the revenue. to cover expenses eveu with' the extortionate rate but it would hurt the expresscom panic's divi Jendsand help the people and it will not be done ' It will be impossible to get a fait mail service in this country until the publio operate the 'transporta tion of the country, Bu t w hat else could be expected when both housesacd the" cabinet are made up of people who own stocks and bonds in the transportation and telegraph monopolies? Ex. An Indefatigable Assistant. The maxim that "all things come to him who waits" is not a safe maxim for the merchant' If he do not advertise he cannot consistently expect (nor will he experience) as much success as was enjoyed by Mr. Mtcawber when that gentleman was patient ly waiting for something to turn up Success iu business must be worked for, not waited for; and no merchant can have a more indefatigable assistant than a well displayed advertisement Phil adelphia Record. 1 The On Day Oold Cure.

" Fruits ot Imperialism. Ealeigh News and Observer. Out of a population of one mill iou iu Porto Rico, there are 22,000 beggars and Congress is asked to make Jan appropriation ' to keep themfr om starving. Dr." J. J. Henna.a native of Porto Rico, who is now in Washington is quoted by the Washington Post as saying: "'The times limit granted debtors will expire on the 19th of this month and unless furtherextension is made mortgages will be foreclosed to tbe financial ruin .of thousands. The foreign commerce of Porto Rico has shrunK to almost nothing, and will not revive as long as freedom of trads .between the island and the United States is denied. We are worse off now than when under Spanish rule, as rascally and op pressive as that waft, and unless something is speedily done to re lieve our suffering, the island will sink to a state of wretchedness and nauDerism beyond tbe power of words to describe." These are the first fruits of imperialism. We are. going to have plenty more of like kind before we are done with our pol ic of '-benevolent assimilation."

World's Comic. ' , " THURSDAY," JANUARY 25. Poverty and Prosperity. There Is nothing in tbe condi tion of tbe rich to excite sympa thy, whether the rich be individ uals or corporations.'. The people who labor and w bo are poor are the ones to be considered. " , There Is a shout of prosperity from many, but it oomes because the monied interests are waxing fat and the bond holders and tockholde rs are clippingcoupons. not because the masses are find ing an improved - condition of things. These earn their bread by daily toil, when they can get it, are of times overworked and ill paid, with poor surroundings and wttn ' children growing up with little chance of education and with scanty hope. : Over North Carolina wa find higher institution of learning re porting Increased attendance But what about the children of the poor. Are they crowding the freesuboolsf Hardly so we think. It looks as if education and pros perity were alike, in that they go to the rich while the poor are fro zen out One reason is that the children of the poor must labor in order to help feed tbe family: without their ajd absolute penury would come- The necessary money for clothes and books and shoes is lacking. The parent and child alike dread the gibes of the pub lic, t and untaught and idle the young girl or boy stay at borne rather than face companions who are better dressed and groomed than they. . The average wages of labor is about a dollar a day iu the city and fifty cents in the country How far this goes towards caring for wife and children.is a problem. Yet this is what the present heralded prosperity is doing, but it is a case of prosper ity for the prosperous and pover ty for the poor. Until such things are remedied we cannot claim that the golden jubilee of national prosperity is being cele "bfated in the United States - Wilson Times. - - o Extend Telephone-Line,.' (Murfreesboro Index.) . Mr. W. N. McAcge, of Suffolk, who is largely interested it tele- honelines,washereTuesday. He is thinking of connecting Murf rees boro with Norfolk by telephone. He may also connect the various towns of this county, and his purpose is to extend the line South, perhaps as far as Wilming ton and Charleston. Hertford School Fund. As per requirement of Sec 17 of tbe School Law of 1899, the Board of School Directors of Hertford county" met in Win ton on Janury 8th and 15th 1900. and pportioned the school fund to the several Townshps of the county as follows: Maney's Meek Township 715 04 Murfreesboro " 1130.88 Saint John's " 1890.06 Winton " 1742,91 Harrellsville " 1108.53 Total sum apportioned $6586,87 Tbe Board of School Directors deferred the apportionment of the 1840.52 (tbe apportionment to Hertford county from the $100,000 appropriated by .the Legislature of 1899) because the time for the payment of the warrant on the State Treasurer is doubtful, and the Board of School Directors wish to save confusion, conolud ing thai it the Board should ap portion that fund represented by the l war rant and the teachers should teach out the full amount apportioned to the Dig tricts aod the warrant should uot be paid by that time, then the teachers would be troubled to get a part of. their paj.
