D. Mclver there were in attendance 2,20) teaciiers and 15,000 citizens Professor Mclver made addresses to 8,000 other persons. Profe?Eor E. A. Alderman's in stitutes were attended by 2,272, Eighty-six per cent, of the teach? ers attended; the sme as in the two vears ending in 1893. These care ful observers, in making their reports declare their belief that the public schools can not be very materially, im proved until the Legislature makes it easier for a community to call an elec tion for increasing its school fund by a local tax. Many men would vote for an increase of taxes for the school fund whi? would not petition the county com missiosrs to order an election for it. The saese report of the State Super intendent gives the fleures as to the expenditures for the public Echcols in 1892: For whites thee were tuition $380,325; houses and sitee. .158,711; county Institutes, 81,584; while fo? ne groes there were as follows: Tuition $193,495; houses and sites, $21,092; in stitutes, 1525.

To-day the citizens' committee here bad a meeting to make preliminary arrangements for the inauguration o! Ellas Carr as Governor that is for the reception and ball. The committee will of course co-operate with the Leg- isiative joint committee, as was done four vears ago. Some of the neeroes here appear to be inclined to cause trouble regarding their exclusion from the ladies' waltz ing room at the passeDger station. Some were ejected from it the.otner day. Now tbey talk of a law suit. There is a growing demand lor sepa rate cars for the races. Perhaps the Legislature will take up that matter. Hon. A. H. A.

Owing to the im proved outlook for cotton eoadg on a couct "Df tbe stiffer market, and the great distress among the cotton operatives attendant upon the lock out, negotiations have been re sumed between the masters and the operatives looking to a settle ment of the struggle. It has betn suggested as a basjs of agreement thai tne operatives should accept a reduc tion of wages along with concurrent general short time until the condition of trade will justify full Jtime and full wages. It is probable that a onference will be held at an early day between represen tatives of the masters and the opera tives on the basis stated. The suffering of the non,-uniontst3 has increased greatly within a week.

SO. R. G. J)un'& Co.'s weekly review of trade 8aB: The most prosperous- year ever kcown in business closes to-day with ' etrongly favorable ltdications for the Iuture. From nearly all points comes the report that the holiday trade has been the largest ever known, and - while the wholesale trade la not unusually active at this ssason of stock taking, it ia now remarkably large. Settlements though ciearh.g houses outside of New York in December were apparently the largest ever made in any-' month, exceeding last year by more than 10 per cent For the year the volume ia also about 10 per cent, larger than last year, and the largest ever known. - ; liiilroad earnings in December show an increase of about 3 per cent, over last year and for the year, an increase of about 5.5 per cent. .. Foreign trade has been smaller than last year in volume of exports at. New York 87,800.000 in value for the past four weeks and at. the cotton ports about $10,000,000 less, but Imports at New York have been $3,000,000 larger and the month still 6hows great exoess of exports. For the year the excess of merehandi&e exports has been not far from 87G,000,0CO with the largest im port and largest total of exports and imports ever known in any 5 ear. In iron the trade is weaker, the de mand for finished, products being at present light, but steel rails have been reduced to $29 per - toil and sales of 78 000 tons have followed. This great industry has been much af fected by the market for securities, whi , a ha3 "been depressed for some months by foreign selling and mone tary uncertainty, so that the compan ies baye been restricted' in purchases cf rails and supplies.
