SCHOOL BOOKS The Tibical Recorder strikes the rig it note this week when it advocates cheaper school books, or, rather, school books at a smaller price, and uniform State adoption instead of the present system of each county select ing for itself the books to be used in public schools. It is a fact that the same books used in our public schools are sold by the same companies in o trier btates at a uttie more c, than halt what they charge us in Xoth Carolina, while under the s stem of county adoption a family moving from one county to another may cany a full set of books with them and find when they get there that an entirely uirierem set is re quired. This is one of the perplexing problems that the Legislature will have to deal with. The late Mr. H. 0. Wall, our rep resentative m the last Legis- ', latuie, f introduced a bill then providing for uniform State adoption, but that body deemed it wise to leave this perplexing quesiion alone till the all absorbing measure which en gaged their attention was finally "itified. But there can be no oxcuso for longer delay in the matter. The present bungling arrangement is a severe tax up on the poor people who ar sending their children to school. The Legislature ehould create a Board removed as far as pos sible from the iutluenco of paid philanthropists, with instructions to advertise for ' bids from the boolc companies on books to be adopted for the whole State foi along term of years and theu select a set of books, with due regard to the quality and to the price. The settlement of the cotton mill strike in Alamance county by the strikers ret urning quietly to theu work after being out oi work for some time and suffer iiig a good many hardships, poiuts, the lesson that the time for the labor union in cotton mills has not yet arrived in .North Carolina. In the north, where mill labor. is treated whb less regard than the machinery which they operate, the - labor union is a necessity, but he situation in many sections of JNorlU Carolina, are vastly different. Here the friendly feeling of the employers to the employes is anovvu in many ways in schools for their chil dren, ir assistance in distress and in a geueral bond of sym pathy between them in all things. Whenever these con ditions obtain, we believe the interest of all concerned would be best served by giving a wide berth to the professional labor agitator, who is sent here by the northern mill owners - fcn rai6e t-ouble for their compet itors. We hope the day is far distant in North Carolina when it will become neccesary for the m ell operatives to regards their employers as their ene mies and when itwH be nec- ceisary for them organize for hostilities b.f j they can get a heariop ?i i redress for any grievance taeymay have An interesting and important nr.atter which will come before the Legislature next January will be the redisricting of "the State of North Carolina. The new; census gives North Carolina ten congress. This district, tbe Shoestrirg," will probably be changed and put in better shape. Congressman Bellamy says it has the largest pop. ulation of any district in the Stater men instead of nine. In this con nection it might be recalled that Viiginift will lose one Congressman as this State moves up to ten and Virginia drops back to nine. V Cattls-KHzo. This famous trial now going on at Oxford, N. C, is a civil suit be tween two Methodist ministers, one of them being president of Trinity College, in which one hundread thousand dollars damage is asked by Gattis for alleged slan der by Kilgo. This trial is the outcome of that other famous trial before the Trustees oi Trinity Col lege, in which it was charged b Justice Walter Clark, one of the directors, that Mr. Kigo's reputa tion in South Carolina was a wire puller and a trickster. The de- cision before that Board was a verdict in favor of Dr. Kilgo. The p'antiff in this suit was a princi pal witness in the former trial Dr. Kilgo threw himself into the first trial with all the energy and zeal for which he is noted, and in making his defense i before the Board he passed over the main prosecutor, Judge Clark, ,yery courteously, according to our re collection, and threw the burden of the whole matter on Mr. Gattis, whom he condemned in the severest terms. The speech was printed and circulated by the Trustee, and this speech is the basis of Mr. Gattis charge of lander. He testifies in his own behalf that in addition to the damage to his character, his busi ness that "of colporteur for the Con; ference with a book store in Greensboro, has been ruined and he was forced' into bankruptcy, Counsel for the plaintiff appear very well pleased with the case they have made out. No evidence was introduced by the defendant, and the case is now being argued to thejury. The best legal tarent in the State is " employed on both sides. North Carolina is getting bet ter. There were 2,000 less criminal indictments in the State for two years ending last June than for the two years previous Out of 16,627 indictments there were 10,842 convictions. A de crease in crime with an increase in population is gratifying. The legislature which meet- in January will be composed follows : Senate, 39 democrats, 8 republicans and 3 populists ; boitse 101 democrats, 17 republicans and 2 populists.

SURPASSING GRANDEUR OF THE GREAT PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION. Kslslte Crt Sttlnsrs mm Grde Arrmas-emeat Eleetri sad Foo talm Eeet Sewlptwr d Criw DeraUoa-Te Exhibit Dlvlilom. Every day brings nearer to comple tion the creat Pan-American Exposi tion to be held at Buffalo next year. Every one of the score of colossal buildings Is under way, and a number of tliem are under roof. Thousands of men are at work, and the hammers are play In z a merry tattoo that thrills with enthusiasm the thoughtful listener who steps within the gates. Already one may hare a foretaste of the imago of exquisite beauty which will spread its wings when spring again stirs to life the sleeping earth next year. In horticulture and floral beauty this Exposition will stand peer less and alone. Ia several other points J it will surpass anything the world has ever seen. Let me first speak of the court set tings. By this is meant a symmetrical placing of th principal large buildings with reference to one another so as to lorni a system of connecting courts, each with Its special features yet each a part of one great, beautiful picture. The principal courts are the Court of Fountains and Plaza, which form a north and south perpendicular and con nect with a transverse court called the Esplanade. Two minor courts open Into the Esplanade, known as the Court of Cypresses and Court of Lilies. These courts, about 33 acres In area, with the magnificent decorations which will complete their beauty, will give to the eye a vista of exceptional grandeur from whatever point ,they may be seen. In sculptural and plastic decorations this Exposition' will set a-new pattern for nations to contemplate and adore. The exterior of every building will pre sent a richness of design and delicacy of detail unparalleled In the history of expositions. Majestic statues and costly modeled groups, lacking only life to complete the ideality of their purposej will guard entrances and bridges or send down their blessings upon the enterprise from lofty domes and towers. Again, from all the buildings will be diffused a radiance of color that will vie with the brilliant gardens In Its agreeable effect upon the eye. Such elaborate color decoration upon the ex teriors of a great group of buildings is a distinct departure from the custom observed at former expositions. To the prismatic brilliance of the gardens and the rich tints of the buildings will be added water effects extraordinary In conception and of supreme beauty. In all the courts will be large pools rip pling and sparkling under the fantastic activity of numberless fountains. Many of these fountains are tp be elaborate sculptured works, with jets of water playing from hundreds of openings. With all Its wonderful beauty by day the Exposition will be, like the cereus of tropical America, a flower of the night. Then will It blossom In exquisite perfection. With all the fountains playing amid floating lights upon every golden, rippling pool; with the great cascade shooting in veillike form from its high niche in the tall electric tower; with more than 200,000 electric lights fringing every building and giving to every jet and ripple of water a fantas tic Iridescence; with" music lending the charm of sweet sounds to the harmony of color and sculpture, flowers, foliage and fountains, the evening scenes at this Exposition will be such as no lover of the beautiful will permit to pass without at least one determined effort to witness them. Surrounding the main group of build ings and bordered with a double row of trees and grassy banks Is a broad and stately canal more than a mile In length. At certain points this canal forms a part of the court rlstas, but has more to do with the rich embel lishment of that portion of the grounds outside the main buildings. Lagoons that lose themselves amid lawns and gardens tap the main waterway at various Intervals, and at the southern side of the Esplanade it broadens into lakes where there have been planted a wonderful variety of water plants to be ready for next year's blossoming. In that part of the great Exposition plot known as Delaware Park is a lake half a mite long, surrounded by wodd ed banks that will contribute much to the beauty of the Exposition. So much for the uncommon beauty of this great enterprise. Now of the more practical side. The exhibits to be contained In the buildings will in clude nearly everything of commercial value or Industrial utility. The divi sions, each of them a considerable ex hibition In itself, are as follows: Elec tricity and electrical appliances; fine arts painting, sculpture, decoration; graphic arts typography, lithography, steel and copperplate printing, photo mechanical processes, drawing, engrav ing and bookbinding; liberal arts ed ucation, engineering, public works, con structive architecture, hygiene and san itation, music and the drama; ethnol ogy, archaeology, progress of labor and Invention, isolated and collective ex hibits; agriculture, food and Its acces sories, agricultural machinery and ap pliances; horticulture, viticulture, flo riculture; live stock horses, cattle, sheep, swine, pet stock; forestry and forest products, fish, fisheries, fish products and apparatus for fishing; mines and metallurgy, machinery, man ufactures, transportation exhibits, rail ways, vessels, vehicles, ordnance; ex hibits from the Hawaiian Islands, Por to Rico. Tutuila, Guam, and the Phil ippine Islands: large exhibits by; the National Government from all depart ments, and special exhibits from Cuba. Mexico, Brazil, Canada and from vari ous states and countries of Central and South America. To describe orooerly a single one of streets and boulevards are paved with , asphalt and are as smooth as a floor. Buffalo la truly the cleanest and finest I city la the United States, or at least.' ue nnest 1 have ever visited. The Public Library of Buffalo Is very fine. It contains 120,000 books, besides the Reference Library, which contains 50, 000 books. Buffalo has 187 churches, as follows: Kotnan Catholic, 30; Meth odist, 27; Baptist. 17 and 0 Missions: Presbyterians, 1G; Lutheran, 11: Evan-1 gellcal.

( Forest Lawn; Cem etery contains at least C40 acres and has some imposing monuments. The residence portion of the city Is neat and clean, with many beautiful and artistic homes. - The work oa the buildings at the ran-Amerieangrounds la progressing very fast and beyond qr-jstlon will be completed in ample time hr the Expo sition. The great Niagara Falls are within 21 miles of the cJty-nly a few minutes ride from the businesa eente and the Exposition grounds, and one can hare a choice of either steam or electric cars for conveya5te "to the great cataracts. These attractions will naturally Tring to Buffalo during the Exposition vast, throngs of people, and we will he very fortunate Indeed to have an opportunity to display our products and resources here during that time. . We cannot afford to , let this opportunity slip by. It Is said that the North Carolina exhibit Is the second best exhibit of any state at the Paris Exposition but we can improve on that even. I appeal to every good citizen and lover of North Carolina to kindly give us his aid and Influence In this Impor tant matter. W. F. Pobtxr.

A, WsaderM Growth Aloag Mmr r" Lines In Twenty Years. , The manufacturing industries of North Carolina until 1880 were limited, but since that time the spindles and looms for the manufacture of cotton and woolen fabrics have been largely Increased, tobacco factories have been established and enlarged and the cul ture of sHkworms has occasioned the establishment of a sllkmaklng in dustry. In 1896 the number of cotton mills In the state was 167, looms 25,000 and spindles approximately 1.000.000. Over 15,000 persons were employed In these mills, and the capital Invested was over $15,000,000. There was a note worthy advance during 1809 in cot ton manufacturing. New plants pot Into operation numbered 23 and new spindles 230.1GS, with an estimated capitalization of $8,000,000. The tobacco Industry has greatly prospered iu recent years. During the fiscal year ending June 30. 1899, there were 20 manufacturers of tobacco, 38 of cigars, and the combined output in the calendar year 1898 was 8,482,148 cigars, 20,940,890 pounds of plug to bacco, 12.044 pounds of fine cut, 9,239, 870 pounds of smoking and 48,552 pounds of snuff. The tobacco factories in 1898 gave employment to 16.900 men, 9,700 women and 5,000 children. The Increase in the lumber product of 1899 over that of 1898 was estimat ed at 30 per cent. Eighteen new lum ber companies were organized last year, with a total capital of $562,000; Nine furniture factories, with a total capital of $100,000, were also added. In 1897-the output of 323 lumber mills aggregated $4,558,280 for the year. The fisheries of North Carolina are an important industry. In 1895 -the number of men regularly employed In this industry approximated 6,000 and the boats and vessels about 2.500. The value of the products Is nearly equally divided between sea and river prod ucts. The shad and herring, fisheries are the most Important of any state, and the greater portion of the catch is made In and about the Albemarle sound. Oysters are abundant, the area of the public grounds exceeding 20,000 acres and the natural beds ' nearly 5,000 acres. Legislative protection has been thrown around the oyster and fishery interests, and the laws are rig idly enforced. The Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo next year will offer to the peo ple of this state an opportunity for showing their resources that will prove of greater value than any exposition has ever before presented. The state is now better than, ever prepared to make, a great showing, and the won derful resources' of the state can be presented to millions of people, who are near to us and more likely to be come one of us if properly Impressed with the advantages we offer, who could not have been reached through any other exposition.
