Complaints are made in various communities in this country that the proportion of illiterates to the whole population is increasing. This is in excusable in a country so rich as ours, where so much is done to pro vide free education. It was at first assumed that the increase in the number of illiterates was due to an influx of ignorant immigrants from Europe, but this does not seem to be the fact, the educational systems of most European countries being more strict, if not better, than our own. Iu some of our larger cities the increase in the number of illiter ates may fairly be ascribed to the overreaching ambition of pedagog ues, the vanity and pride of school directors, and the resulting customs established among the pupils. In some communities the lower schools are more or less neglected that high er education may be provided for the few and that the town or city may gain distinction by the charac ter of the buildings provided for high or normal schools. There is a similar tendency to build costly school-houses for all grades, in which the poor girl or boy feels out of place. In our cities, at least, in spite of free public schools and in spite, in some cases, of cumpulsory education laws, we are getting back to some thing resembling the monopoly of education by the rich which fjrevail ed in olden times, only that our aris tocracy of wealth embraces a very much more numerous class and in cludes what in Europe would be call ed the middle class. 13ut the poor are being shut out of our schools, not merely by their poverty, which com pels them to go to work at an early age, but by disregard of their wants and by vicious social customs re specting dress and appearance. It would not do in this country to re vive the "ragged schools" of England in order to provide for poor pupils. That would be a mark of distinction between classes not to be tolerated in Democratic communities. But some relief might be obtained by repressing the disposition to osten tatious display in the construction and fitting up of school buildings and by discouraging exhibitions of vanity in the matter of dress on the part of pupils. This vanity may be exhibited in the lower schools as well as in the higher, and sometimes becomes so conspicuous at commencements that school authorities are compelled to prohibit extravagant dressing. The boys do not suffer as much from this as the girls, but do not altogether escape. The girls in normal schools, where the bad custom prevails of special dressing for commencements, suffer many heartburnings by rea son of their envy of others, and the poorer among them are obliged to make great sacrifices that they may not become conspicuous through the meanness of their attire. That this condition should not be permitted to exist is obvious, for no mental educa tion can compensate for the lack of moral training which such a custom proclaims. There are, of course, many causes contributing to an in crease in the number of illiterates, but extravagance in the conduct of schools, and especially public schools, is one of them, and it is a contribut ing cause that may be removed, and ought to be removed because of its pernicious effect upon the character of pupils. Beware of a Cough. A cough is not a disease but a symp tom. Consumption and bronchits, which are the most dangerous anil fatal dis eases, have for their tirst indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy has proved wonderfully successful, and gained its wide reputation and extensive sale by its success in curing the diseases which cause coughing. If it is not ben eficial it w ill not cost you a cent. For sale by M. E. Robinson & Hro., J. F. Miller's Drug Store, Ooldsboro; J. R. Smith, Mt. Olive. ARP 0 THE PAST. Declares That all Liars are Not Yet Dead . and Lies are Repeated. As the poet Browning said: "I thought the lie was dead and damn ed," but it seems not. Anderson- ville has broken out again. We thought that our general Senator Hill had killed that whole Ander sonville business in his masterly re ply to Blaine some twenty-five years ago. lie proved from the federal records that the suffering of their soldier boys in that prison was the sin, the crime, the shame of Stanton, who refused to exchange with us and refused to send medicine and supplies for their sick. We did the very best we could and some honest northern soldiers have so written and publish ed in northern papers. But ever and anon the same old lie breaks loose again, and now they have started a new one about a spring the "Provi dence spring," which they say gush ed forth from the ground just in time to save their soldiers from perishing for lack of water. And they are spending money in inclosing and beautifying the grounds around the spring. The contemptible liars. Scores of good old men still live who knew of that spring away back in the 40's, when Andersonville was a wil derness and the spring was known as a deer stand. Yes, it was a Providence spring, for providence created it, and all the other springs when He made the con tinent and the rivers and mountains. Andersonville never lacked water and was selected for a prison because of the abundance of water, and that little spring was of no consequence, for it ran only about thirty gallons an hour, which would be less than half a gill a day to the prisoners. The spring was covered up by the hands when ditching for the stock ade and its water found some other channel and broke out again after a big rain and that's all there is about it. No Providence spring! Those everlasting liars are just hunting up some more devilment. This spring business is another Barbara Frietchie delusion gotten up to keep the north ern heart in tune and fire up Gold- win Smith to write some more his toric lies about the south. But "whom the Lord loveth he chasten- eth," and our faith is that He loves our people very much or He would not chasten us so much and so long with these vile slanders. "And I said in mine haste all men are liars," said David. If he had lived up north in our day he might have said it at his leisure. We are getting so accustomed and so hardened to their exaggeration and prevarication that we don't be lieve them when they tell the truth. History says that Israel Putnam crawled into a cave and killed a wolf. I used to believe, but I doubt it now since Goldwin Smith has set up Ben edict Arnold as a hero. Providence spring! what a lie! But our veterans are clearing up this history business and our teachers had better be very careful what they teach. I never did understand until recently why Mau ry's geography was ruled out of so many schools and Frye's was put in. There is some bribery in this school book business. Money is paid to school commissioners, or teachers, or some outside lawyers for their in fluence. Last year a teacher high in office at Knoxville was expelled for accept ing a bribe and I have heard it charged that a lawyer in Atlanta got big money for booming a book into the public schools. 5 Money rules the roost in every calling, and there is a money job behind this Andersonville business. Providence spring! Oh, my couutry, what does providence have to do with those fellows except to let them run their course. "I have seen the wicked prosper like a green bay tree," says David. An old darky heard me say, "I wonder what makes the Lord smile on old Jim Wilkins so. Jim is as mean as a dog, but every trade he makes and everything he touches turns into money. He is getting richer and richer ever' year." The old darky said: "Why, boss, de Lord hain't got anything to do wid Jim Wilkins. Lord haint noticin him. Lord dun give him up long time ago. Dat's why he gittio rich old debil ar runnin him." Providence spring! But it is mighty strange to me that the north ern people will let Goldwin Smith scandalize the founders of our gov ernment. I thought that everybody north and south idolized Washington and Jefferson and Madison and Mon roe. I thought that everybody out side of Massachusetts was proud of Patrick Henry and Randolph and Henry Clay. I dident know that Benedict Arnold had an admirer or an apolgizer north or south or in England or anywhere. I dident know that Goldwin Smith was such a con spicuous historian until this last his tory appeared. It appears that he is a great favorite in England and Can ada and is a contributor to the lead ing magazines and co editor of an English cyclopedia. But we are making progress. Pro vidence spring! Those yankees say that just in the nick of time when hope was nearly gone and despair had set in for want of water, Provi dence up heaved the ground and the water gushed forth like it did when Moses struck the rock with his rod. Mr. Pillsbury, of Americus, an hon orable veteran, was there on guard and says the whole thing is a made up lie, and it can be proved so by many old citizens of Sumter county. We will have to nail that Ander sonville lie to a board and put it up at the forks of the road. We will brand it when we meet at Memphis. I want to meet Colonel John Cus sons there and thank him for his lit tle book. I want every veteran to have one. The price is only 25 cents and it it is worth ten times that much to have it in the house and re fer to it sometimes when we get cus sin mad. Providence spring! I'm going to see if I can't beat my nabors. Cary and Yarbrough and Corley and Mrs. Fields, raising tomatoes. Mr. Cor ley has put out only six plants and says they will give him twenty bush els of fruit. Mr. Yarbrough, the preacher, has six plants. He dug sir wells about two feet deep and filled them up with all sorts of fertile and says he will have a wagon load. Last year he had eight on one stem all touching each other, and the eight weighed twelve pounds! I've seen the photograph. I've got out 100 plants and am not done yet, and they laugh at me, but I want a load or two to give away. My garden must keep me busy. It won't do to sit down and brood over trouble and slander and lies. I pick strawberries every day, but I'm not fond of the business. Have to stoop too much and it gives me the back ache. I'm the only boy left and my folks keep me very busy. Bilt. Ari Dumb to Her Father. A curious story comes from North Carolina, which is, however, vouched for by a reliable citizen and is here given for a fact on that responsibil ity, says the Danville (Ya.) Register. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Belk, residing in North Carolina, some 150 miles from here, are the parents of sixteen children, all of whom are normal and like any other children, save one. This one, Miss Dosia Belk, is now 24 years of age, and in all of these years has never spoken to her father. With other members of the family she is pleasant, kind and talks as freely as do they, but if asked a question or spoken to by her father she is dumb, and always has been since birth. What the reason may be for this she is as unable to tell as are her broth ers and sisters. She simply cannot speak to him, and though she hears and obeys him, she has to use others as a medium of conversation with him. This has been a source of great grief and worry to Mr. Belk, but is inexplicable by him and by all who have investigated the matter, among the latter being learned physicians. The theory of intense natural aver sion, such as renders some men or women paralyzed at the sight of a snake, or spider, or mouse, or toad. or any other one particular object, may account for it, but the reason is as far off as ever, if such hypothesis be accepted. A Suicide's Strange Request. F. J. La Penotiere, a well-known lawyer of Tampa, Fla.. committed suicide last week. In a note discov ered after his death he leaves all his property to his house-keeper and di rects her to dispose of his remains according to his request. He says: 'I would prefer to have my body placed in the center of a cord of wood and burned, or that it be wrapped in blanket and thrown into the sea. If thought best, however, let my re mains be buried; but I want none of those human vultures undertakers to have anything to do with it, nor any mummeries of religion." The wishes of the deceased were disre garded, however, and his remains were turned over to an undertaker. Dying Requests Granted. Greene Whitehurst, one of the best- known colored men in Macon, Ga., died last week. Just previous to his death he called several of his friends and relatives to his bedside and told them three things he wanted them to do when he died. First, to put his body in a black covered casket, to carry his remains to their last rest ing place in a hearse pulled by a pair of gray horses covered with black drapery, and notify his friends of his death through the columns of the Macon Telegraph. His requests were complied with. 'It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- hea Remedy," says Druggist A. W . Sawtelle., of Hartford, Conn. "A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case,, said to me : I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,1 ami she became so enthusiastic over its merits that 1 at once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Re cently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to the door. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose, and in tifteen min utes lie left my store smilingly inform ing nie that he felt as well as ever." Sold by M. E. Robinson & Bro., J. F. Miller's Drug Store, (loldsboro; J. R.

New York, May 23, 1001. There has been during the past week no appreciable slackening of activity in any branch of business. Labor disturbances have caused con cern in some industries, but no se rious interruption of work in pro gress has resulted from them. The industries, other than the textile, are actively employed, and the trade reports of the week indicate some improvement in the distribution of cotton and wool fabrics, which should shortly quicken the business of man ufacturers. Foreign trade returns continue favorable, and point to a further increase in American credit abroad when the May totals shall have been officially computed. The crop season is backward in some sec tions, but conditions are steadily im proving, and for wheat, corn and cotton the outlook is better than it was a week ago. The present prom ise for the largest wheat production on record. Business failures during the past week, according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 180 io the United States and 22 in Canada, against 175 in this country and 20 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices are 1-10 of a cent per pound higher for the week, but speculation has been only moderately active owing to talk of manipulation of the July contracts. Receipts con tinue surprisingly large in view of early estimates of yield, and trade conditions at home and abroad are still very unsatisfactory. The out look for the growing crop is steadily improving. Buyers of cotton goods continue very conservative even when opportunities are offered (as they have been) to place orders for future delivery subject to price re ductions if any should be made. The volume of domestic business has gained a little through an increase in the number of small purchases; but there has been no large buying, and prices in some lines continue in buyers' favor. Export demand has been fair, and on fabrics suited to foreign trade needs prices have been comparatively firm. The wool trade has been dull. Women Were Drinking. Atlanta, Ga., May 27. Rev. John E. White, pastor of the Second Bap tist church, in a sermon addressed to the students of a Southern Female College created somewhat of a sensa tion Sunday morning by a reference to alleged drinking propensities of women at clubs. Dr. White said he was out driving with a gentleman several days ago who told him that prominent ladies had been drinking at the functions of a club and that several of them had "taken on a little too much." The pastor then went j on to show how, in these latter days, the fair sex were beginning to have) habits of men. i Hiccoughed Six Months and Died. . Elizabeth, X.

Com plaining of the loss of his wife's love and the destruction of their happy home, Walter L. Keller brought suit against Walter Shute, in the Com mon Pleas Court, yesterday, to se cure $50,000 damages. In his affida vit, upon which a capias, with bail fixed at $500, was issued for the ar rest of the defendant, Keller sets forth that he was married to Lucy M. Butler on February 2, 1SS7, and for many years retained her confi dence and affection. By hard work they established a comfortable home. and in September, 1811. consented to take Shute as a boarder. The latter's advent in the house hold, Keller avers, was the beginning of his trouble. Mrs. Keller was a prepossessing woman, and with en vious eyes, it is alleged, the boarder looked upon the young matron, and began to use his influence to wean her love and respect from her hus band. In time, it is charged, Mrs. Keller showed a decided preference for the boarder and "made the life of the plaintiff most miserable." She transferred her affections, neglected the home, and finally refused to live with plaintiff any longer, and Keller says he is justly entitled to substan tial damages for the humiliation he has suffered and the loss he has sus tained.
