Ttia Matter ol New School Books.
A dral i1'11 aiJ almt
the itpwd ert-at expense that a
trons iif the piiblu" svliu'l are to be
put U as a rtult f -linj?s
mail in the public s hl U-M l'k
by tlie Suite commission that met
during the ast sumnnT. Then is
alU'RotluT needles alarm over the
matter, both on account of the fa t
that there are really few chan-s and
btvanse the time and mean allowed
for e lchauo1 are so reasonable. Evi
dently the people have Urn misled
by Ute talk of somebody who as not
up on the facts.
Then- are ten subjects to le taught
from text book in the public schools,
namelv: si-elling. reailin;. writing.
arithmetic, agriculture, language and
grammar, history, physiology, aiul
drawing.
The spelling book was changed
Children who have ohl sMling U'ks
can gf't new ones by bringing m the
old one and ing eight cents boot.
Those w ho have none can buy a new
one for twenty cents.
The reading books were changed.
The old Holmes readers are known
hv heart to about all the children
that have been to the public scli.iols
A much more interesting and al li
able book was nut in tlieir place.
The cost of the new books when the
old ones are exchanged are ten, thir
teen, fifteen, and sixteen and a half
cents for the first, second, third, and
fourth resjieelively. Of course, chil
dren who have not before had books
would have to buy new ones anyway.
In writing, the copy looks cost live
cents each and must le bought new
each year, so they need not be con
sidered. In arithmetic there were no
changes. Hut many teachers hav
ing complained that there was too
great a jump from the first to the
second books, an intermediate one
was added. This book taking the
place of no other, adds no new ex
pense. In agriculture there was no change.
In geographies then' was no
change, except that the newer books
by the same author were adopted,
but no exchange is necessary.
In the language and grammar
there was no change, but the intio
diietion of a new book between the
two, as in the case of the arithmetic,
entailing no new expense.
In history there was one change
White's primary Imok w;is put in the
place of Chambers'. The exchange
price is twenty cents. The price of
the new lmok is the same as the old
In physiology there was a change,
but schools of one teacher are not re
quired to use a text Imok on this
subject, but to gie the instruction
in lectures, so this need not 1m
counted.
In diawing, as in writing, new
books have to lie gotten each year,
and so this puts on no additional
cost. Hesules, very few children had
the old books.
Teachers have a whole year to com
plete their exchanges, and so b
using such uf the old lmoks as they
cannot get exchanged this year, and
having the children who arc buying
for the first time to get the new ones,
there will be very little if any hard
ship, on even the poorest people.
Children should not be furnished
books until they have gone to school
and got word from the teacher which
books to get. So it w ill le. seen that
no one need fear the expense 01
trouble, there being very little of
either. The supplementary books
were not changed, except that one
book, instead of two, is required for
each grade, which lessens the cost.
While an unusual service was
being celebrated in the famous Cath
edral of St. Peters in Home on Sun
day, a bomb that had been placed
under a scaffolding by a would-be
assassin exploded and caused the
greatest alarm. As by a miracle no
body in the great throng was hurt
The Pope immediately offered a pray
er for the misguided erpetrator of
the crime. No motive is assigned
for the deed other than tlie general
beartlessness of bomb throwers.
We have seen no explanation of
why the negro Lindsey, who wanton
ly killed five pooplc in Ashevillo, was
prompted to his deed. No one was
troubling him, he had not been hunt
ed by the law, and so far as apears
bad no grievance. The devil must
have been crazy. It sceiua that he
bad been in the United States army
and there learned the use of the high
grade rifle which he used. It is
another illustration of the folly of
the government in enlisting negro
troops.
The letter of Miss Kestler publish
ed this week is exceedingly interest
ing. It is a wonderful power that
compels refined women of this coun
try to undergo such hardships as are
portrayed here for the sake of carry
ing the gospel to the ha then who
prefer to be let alone.
In giving, some issues ago, reasons
why pulitical speakings in this coun
ty are so lightly attended. The Jour
nal mentioned the fact that meetings
of other character attracted the peo
ple. On this point liev. C. A. C.
Thomas, in an article in the North
Carolina Baptist, says:
"When we see this conditio f
things, the church people need not
become discouraged about the at
tendance at church services. Ue
ceutly I counted 76 at my praver
meeting. On rainy nights I have
counted 40 several times, and geuer-
allv when there are not otlier attrac
tions, between 00 and 70 persons. I
attended two stereoptieon lecture on
missions in Korea and Japan recent-
lv, and the Presbyterian church was
packed, and at similar lectures in
the Methodist church by a foreign
missionary, with his curios from Ko
rea, there were over 2H0 people out
on week nighu, and at my own
prayer meeting on one of these nights
there were over 50 people out 1 am
not guessing at numbers; I couuted
heads. The attendance of our peo
ple on their religious services during
the week are not as large as they
ought to be, but if we are to judge
their interest bv attendant, they are
showing more interest in religion
than (mlities."
President Koosevelt has been over
the canal zone in Panama and has
expressed the heartiest approval of
the progress that has been made.
This trip of the President seems to
us to be the most sensible thing that
he has undertaken. His information
is now as mar first liand as it can be
and he is in position to carry on tlie
work.
"I do this for fear that I might
some time take the others with me,"
wrote Mr. W. It. Ogden of Cliarlotte
in notes he prepared before taking
gas to end his life. A mor, haunted
fellow, losing his eyesight and over-:
whelmed with the thought that he
might some time kill not only him
self, but his loved ones also. Not
half the tragedies are in fiction.
The I'uited Suites, through Attor
ney Cioneral Moody, has liegun a suit
against the Standard Oil Company,
in which it is declared that the con
cern is an unlawful organization un
der the Sherman anti-trust law. If
Mr. Roosevelt's administration can
curb the bell wether of trusts, it
will lie justly entitled to the name of
trust buster.
A great memorial meeting in hon-
irof the late president, Charles I)
Mclver, of the State Normal and In
dustrial College, is lieing held at the
college Unlay. The meeting is wide
ly attended by well known Jieople
both in and out of the SLate. No
honor can be too great to the mem
ory of the dead man.
A StDtland Neck correspondent re
lates that Mr. M. White, a citizen of
Halifax county, tR) years old, told his
folks last Sunday that he would die
next day if it was a pretty day. The
,av was fair and he died in the fore
noon. .NoiKMiy can sav mat me oiu

The Ureat Power of a Steel Capped
Bullet.
Referring to the statement that the
bullet fired by the Asheville negro
went through a telephone post before
striking one of its victims, the Char
lotte Observer says:
"Those who are unacquainted with
the steel capped or steel jacketed bul
let are disposed to laugh at the fore
going statement Those who know
the sieel jacketed bullet do not doubt
the veracity of the statement This
death-dealing bullet is made of lead,
covered or tipped with a steel jacket,
and has a round nose. 1 he shell
that carries it is loaded with smoke
less, high explosive powder. In the
government test with a Krag rifle
die penetrating ability of this bullet
is 30 7-10 inches in seasoned, grained
oak. In the government rillet this
bullet ia sighted at 2,000 yards; it
would pass through four or five ordi
nary telephone poles. In appearance
the bullet ia long and slender.".

Asheville Letter Tells of Negro
Desperado
Ksi. W. A Austin, who is in Ashe
ville, writes The .loiiniiJ as follows:
"1 thought a few facts relating to
the terrible tragedy whi'h has just
occurred in Asheville, would be of
some interest to you and your read
ers other than the nevspamT ac
counts which you get.
"I have been in Ashe'ille for some
time previous to the xvurrence of
the above mentioned tngedy. There
had been a big theafical show in
Asheville on the night of the 1.1th,
which show closed alout 11 o'clock.
The ball oiiencd almt 12 o'clock.
and in a very short time the ruftian
had killed two white men indicemcn
and two negroes, broke the arm of
the chief of police and mortally
wounded a negro. Many others were
also wounded and had narrow es
eaes. The balls of the heligerant
did many wonderful freaks, and mon
uments, poU, buildings, doors and
windows beur evidence of battle.
There were a number of people on
the street at that hour, owing to the
show. The main scene of tlie battle
was from Packs square to South
Main street. The negro shot at even-
one he could, without discrimination
in race, sect or condition. At one
place he shot to pieces an electric
lght, possibly to avoid the shots
fired at him. He escaped for the time
unharmed so far as is known.
"He was hunted constattlv by a
large xme until 11 o'clock yester
day, the l.rth, when he was trailed
by tracks in the snow hi a barn near
Fletcher by possibly 1.T0 men bent
on his apprehension and death. He
was shot to death by tlie nisse,
though he fought to the last, falling
face foremost on his gun la splendid
Savage rifle) with his brains shot out.
"The posse brought the body in a
wagon to Asheville about .1 p. m.,
and it was with great difficulty taken
to an undertaker's, as many eople
pressed hard around the posse to see
the dead desperado. He was later
exhibited from the second story win
dow of the undertaker's to possibly
1,000 people, which somewhat ap
peased the crowd, as they partially
dispersed. It was announced that a
few at a time would be admitted up
to view the dead negro. The press
was so great at the entrance of the
building that the sheriff, the police
and the militia had great jilliculty
in keeping the throng back, and had
to promise that the body would be
kept until all could view it
"1 be excitement is now ever.
The latest reports are that the ne
gro is certainly not identified. The

MERCHANTS.
Lots of fellows think if they have a fine run
of trade on Saturday they are doing a big busi
ness. We don't look at it that way. We want
the people to keep the road hot to our place of
business every day in the week. Drop around
any time in the week and see how they are do
In it. Every day is Saturday with us. And
why is this soP It is because we make it to the
interest of people who buy to come to our place
and do their trading. We live for our custom
ers as well as for ourselves and we want to
give them a share in whatever comes our way.
HeE& we put goods as low as they can be sold
and then rack them off. We still have room
for some more customers to make glad. Oet
yourself in line of promotion.
P. S. Have just bought the Newman stock
and will give you bargains at Mr. Newman's
old stand.
