The Twelfth Annnal Report, Burea of Labor Statistics of North Caro lina, is now being issued. We have a copy before ns and want to say it is well printed and arranged and contains much real and timely in formation. James Y. Hamrick, Commissioner and Inspector, and bis chief Clerk, Warren V. Hall, to gether with Quy V. Barnes, the Printer, are to be congratulated in its make up. The efflcency of these gentleman will not and cannot be questioned. They have performed their several duties faithfully and well. Representative Smith, the colored gentleman of Craven, who recently joined the Democrats, is out in a cir cular letter asking the Democrats not to disfranchise the negro. He said the Democrats promised in the campaign that they would not do so, and if they did, it wonld be going back on their promises. We know they said they would settle the negro question, but at the same time as sured the negroes that it did not mean to disfranchise them. This promise lead many negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. It Smith does not mind the Democrat's will fool him again. But so far, he has managed his newly adopted brethren as no one else could. As they said, Smith has many and does not mind shelling it out for legal advice in collecting debts, Ac." It is tbe money that makes the man go. A negroe'a money is as good as any body's.

How do you like itl What do yon say f A rRAftKCOMXSSIOW. So far as we have seen Thk Cau casian was the first and only Ral eigh paper that censured the lawmak ers in their attempt to deceive the people. And it has made its impres sion, and the people will not endorse such an attempt to deceive them. The Landmark sees the point and gives some notes of warning. "When the legislature met the Democratic members adopted a res olution that only white men should only be given positions under it, that no sons of members should be given positions as pages, and that no member should be elevated office within the gift - -) ture. This act . proper and wur." are still In evi ed. .The eampipitol. color line and it is not right to give! ven a small minor position to eol- rd men when there are plenty of white men willing and anxious to ke the place. Neither is i right or proper to allow a man who has succeeded ia retting himself into of fice to quarter his own children or other relatives on the public treas ury when he has plates at bis dispo sal, we have already had too much Dfttinmin tbe Democratic party in North Carolina. But we have asked if these resolu tions have not been violated by the appointment of a son of Representa tive Brown, of Btanly, a page, and received no answer. It is charged al so that a son of Representative Ran som, of Mecklenburg, has a position as page, and it is f arther charged uai negroes are employed as labor- -rs. Are inese Tru i naven t any of the Raleigh papers nerve enough o pniit all o tacts ia th- eas T IT they are not true tbe public should know it. Let as nt wait until toe next campaign for oar political ene mies to develop these things to oar embarrasment. There was no sense in adopting the resolutions if they are not to be lived np to; there is no ense in attempting to deceive tbe people. It is not only wrong to de ceive them but it pays ufiuitely bt- er, as a matter of policy, to deal innetlv nd candidly with them at all times." HaaU Cotton and Tabaeaa. The Liberty Il-giater says that in 1898 rhr were shipped from that place 94 000 chickens, 656 crates of eggs, 24 000 cartes of onions, 20,000 bushels of potatoes, and 11,000 lbs. if butter. The Ashboro Courier ays that for every crate shipped from Liberty one dealer, Mr. W. B Teague, shipped five from Stanley. These are significant figures and show the rapid growth of this busi jess. The egg and the chieken are bigger wealth producers than cotton or tobacco. News and Observer.

There is an average depth of eighteen in ches, but in many places in drifts are three and four feet in deoth. The younger population never saw anything to compare wLh it.

We have been presented with a copy of the Biennial Report on Pub lic education, by Supernitendent Mebane. It is a well bound book of 216 pages. It is well and ably edited In addition to many nsef ul statistical tables, well and conveniently ar ranged, it contains many timely re' commendations on the subject of Public education, showing that Mr. Mebane baa given much thought on the subject. The Report shows that he has spared no time and pains in giving to the publio and especially the friends of education, in a plain and classified manner, the very in formation they need and which they can not get elsewhere. And it will not only interest them, but will be of great benefit to them to read and study and keep it in their libraries for future reference, as it will be the highest authority on such subjects. No friend of enucation can afford to be without this work. Every teach er in this State shorld have one. All who have seen it admit that it is the best and most complete work of the kind ever issued in the State. We have not had time to examine and study his many recommenda tions, .but from what we know of the gentleman personally and from what we have heard of his work in tne State since he entered npon the du ties of his office, as well as the State and pains taken in the compilation, we do not hesitate to say that the more his recommendations are studied, the more favorably yon will be impressed with them. And the printing and binding of the book is np to date in every respect and show that the Council of State, in letting the printing to Mr. Guy V. Barnes, Manager, of The Capital Printing Co., made no mistake. Mr. Mebane as well as the Printer and the 8tate, is to be congratulated in the print and make-up of this report. The work seems to be in demand with those interested in education in other States, as several copies have been solicited and sought after. Dr. M. A.

So quit saying Day is not a Democrat. But Day is right and the other fellows are wrong. The latest "fake" is to the effect that by establishing dispensaries, yon take liquor out of politics.

This amend ment would not only have the ap pearance of a "force bill,'' but tha' of the Republican protective tariff. Trusts are dangerous whenever and by whomsoever ran. If high tariff lis right in the State and in the towns of the State, it is right in the aation. For years, there has only een about five cents difference be tween the Democratic and Republi ;an tariffs, and soon there will be jione, especially if they borry whole sale merchants ideas, as the Obser , rer did on this bill.

This organization and demand by tbe merchants does not show they are scoundrels, but men of wisdom, and men who look after their interests, not in business only, but in politics. The merchants are here now. We clip from yesterday's News and Ob server the following: "We are not here to ask any favor or for fun," said Mr. W. A. Slater, of Durham, who is L.e to meet large delegations or merchants from all sec- lions or tbe state to ngrit ror tne re peal of tbe Merchants' Purchase Tax. "We want no special privileges.

"The merchants who are interes ted in the repeal will meet in tbe par lor of tbe Park hotel at lp o'clock to day to organize for action. REDUCING FEES FOR COUNTY OFFI CERA. The members of the House have been bragging how they were going to reduce fees allowed county om eers, said they were pledged to it. The first fight on this came np in tbe House recently. The bill was to reduce the fees for registering and probating crop liens from $1 50 to 40 cents, a saving of $1 00. Judge Con ner, the Speaker made a speech. He said these little "fees were little mat tors." Saving a dollar to a tenant. in tbe estimation of a lawyer is small matter, bnt 50 000 such in the State would mean $50 000 to poor tenant, lt was voted down. The office holder, pie-eaters, and not the poor man must be protected. They ought not to have promised it. Score this as one broken promise. This was the matter about which they were going to beat the Insionists. COUNTT CONVICT FARMS A FC8ION IDEA. Since we find that Mr. Winston's bill to make convicts in the counties work on publio roads, also provi ies for "county convict farms' we ques tion it. According to Democrats the the few farms we have operated, have been a source of producing and encouraging rascality. Farmers do not want to have tofcompete with convict labor. Had too much of that already. It might ben fit tbe pie getters, the bosses, but not the tax payers. Why not pass a law that all the convicts, especially yonog men be put at hard work studying law, medicine and newspaperdom f Jus, as well pnt them to eompeting with these as the farmers. Besides, there is no saving in this bill, as tbe Democrats promised. If earrit d out this bill provides at least the possi bility of over three hundred jabs. And the straet farmer who talks farming, wonld get the jobs. In Mr. Winston's county, Bertie, the "Fa- 8ionUt8 Who "DID NOT PASS A SINGLE good law," according to Winston's eampaigh speeches enacted a law allowing Bertie county to work her public roads and operate a farm by the convicts. In referring to this, in the House Thursday, the Observer says: "Mr. Winston gave an interesting ae oount of tbe working of convicts in Bertie county. That 000 nty has a farm npon which the House for tbe Aged and Infirm is located. Tbe work has been the raising of food supplies for tbe poor and prisoners and results in saving at least a thousand dollars annually. Mr. Winston said that tbis use of convicts had effected a saving of over $1,000 a 1 ear for the past three years in Bertie." It seems to ns that they should be worked on pnblie roads. Even it it cost more, the farmers who pay the great bulk of the taxes, eouM better afford it; because it wonld give them better roads and some demand for their products. However, it is a "Fusion" idea and we must wait and see how the Democratic farmers like it. Mr. Winston and his erowd not only adopted the Populist platform in the State, bnt have adopted "Fu sionist' ideas. WORKING FOR PIS. When the Lord saved the 8tate from "nigger and misrule," and Bar.

Y., Dispateh Feb. 9. A ghastly discovery was made at tbe village cemetery, two miles north of Pendleton, tbis morning, when the body of James Rigley was ex humed at the instance of insurance men for an autopsy to discover the cause of his death. The glass cov ering of the casket was broken and the distorted features of the corpse. tbe position of bis hands and feet, together with a number of blood spots on his face, showed that the deceased was buried before death. Mr. Rigley was undoubtedly in terred while in a trance, it is claim ed by several physicians who viewed this afternoon. On Wtdnesday of last week, after a abort ewgeofla grippe, he apparently succumbed, and Dr. Mentery, the family physi cian, declared him dead. On Saturday the funeral was held from the residence, and it was at tended by all ef the farmers in the vieinity. A few years ago the deceased took out several insurance polieieg on his life, Mr. Rigley was a prominent man, and was thought to have ben wealthy. He is survived by a widow and four sons. Relatives already contemplate an action for heavy damages against the phjsieiau. Wro When Oan na Daa. When Senator Butler comes to the defense of the Confederate soldier and defend the action cf the South, Wadde-ll calls it "demogogery. But when Joe Daniels, who has nothing to bind him to the South and to the ex-Confederate soldier slobber and gloats over tbe dear old soldier, they call that sincerity and oatriotiam.
