WHO ABE
IN FAVOB
TAXATION t
or LOCAL
The editors are. They are work
log and writing. Some few of
theni are opposed, but the large
majority are lined up in solid
phalanx.
The teachers are. They know
the needs of the people. Many of
them are at work. Their Assembly
at Morehead took a. brave stand.
The preachers are. They, too,
know the mental needs of the peo
ple, as well as the spiritual.
But "you want to know if the
business, men and political men
are in favor of the plan? They
are men of sense, and they know
the feeling of the people. We are
glad to give you the following list
of the most prominent political
leaders of all parties and business
men in North Carolina. Read
what they say :
Mr. T. A. Brown, ex-State Sena--
tor from Columbus, writes: "I
think we will have no trouble in
carrying this (Chadburn) town
ship 'for schools' at the August
ioth election."
Dr. J. J. Mott, of Iredell: "I am
very much opposed to- increasing
the taxes in the present condition
of business affairs, but I would
support this tax because it gives
the townships away from the town
centre an equal chance tor educa
tion. The back country townships
must be kept equally intelligent
with those around the towns, if
generally existing independent
manhood is the best thing for the
country, and I believe it is." .
Hon. W. D. Pruden.of Edenton:
"I have since I was a man voted
for every special tax for schools
and expect to vote for this. The
little good, which the efforts seem
to do those who get the lion's
share of the appropriation for
schools in the East, sometimes
greatly shakes my faith, and tem
pers my zeal. Nevertheless, I be
lieve the people should be edu
cated and , this seems the only
practical way."
Dr. B. f. Dixon,-of Cleveland:
"The education of the common
people must be the special enthu
siasm of this day."
Hon. C. B. Aycock, of Wayne:
"I am fully impressed with the im
portance of a more general educa
tion of the people of North Caro
lina, and shall be glad in any way
to co operate with your committee
in securing this most desirable re
sult by the only practical method,
to-wit : that of local taxation.'
Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Char-
lotte: "I will be glad to co-operate
with you in attempting to carry
out your purposes."
State Senator George E Butler:
"You have my sympathy as you
know and will have my fullest
support." if
Hon. Jeter C. Pritcbard: "My
time is very much occupied, but I
will gladly render any assistance
in my power. "i
State Senator M. H. Justice, of
Rutherford: "I am in sympathy
with the public school, movement
and especially the local taxation
idea. I am ready to render all the
aid I can.'; j
Prof. D. Matt. Thompson, of
Statesville: "Lstand ready to do
anything I can to push along the
cause." 1
Hon. Z. V. Walser, of Davidson:
"In my judgment it is the greatest
piece of legislation put upon , the
statute books in
the present een-
tury, believing
as 1 veruy do that
the hope of our
beloved State lies
in its success.

'The proposed scheme, in-

volved in tne August election, is
not only a step in the tight direc
tion, but may lead up to the idea

school funds by a local; tax),
will be pleased to co-operate
any way I can.' - r---;v
- Senator White; ot Alamance:
I
in
feel sure the law will be accepted
v in many of the townships of the
State. I would not be surprised
if the majority of the townships of
the State should .vote for taxation.
" You may be sure of my hearty co-
' operation."
J. B. Whitaker, Jr., editor Win
Ston Sentinel: "it win anord me
pleasure to give my influence and
efforts towards promoting the
cause." I ' '
R. R. Clark, editor. Statesville

building up the public schools by
Jocal ; taxation, as seen by the
many excellent graded schools In
-mm
the cities ano towns, snouid serve
as an object lesson to the people
in the country townships, and
j nake the tax payers consent to
bear a moderate Duraen of taxa
tion in the interest of the chil
dren."
Mr. J. Van Lindley, of Guilford
county: "I think it a wise step that
vou are making' and one that. I
liave always been interested in and
will do all that I

Hon. Francis D. Winston, of
Bertie: "The character'of the men
who will administer the school af
fairs of this county does not invite
a very hearty co-operation of the
citizens in the matter of increas
ing taxes for school put poses.
However, the duty imposed on me
bythe committee is so much in
harmony with my personal opin
ions and feeling, I shall permit the
use of my name. I beg to' assure
you of my sympathy."

sends them to apublic school like
we now have, the school will last
only twelve weeks. He cannot ed
ucate his children this way. They
will never learn much studying!
twelve weeks and not studying
forty weeks. So this man decides
to send his boy and girl to a
private scnooi. how much must
he pay ? He must pay at least five
dollars for the boy and five for the
girl. This is a tax of ten dollars
on him. But if he will vote for
local taxation he will get good six
months' schools for his boy and
girl and for all the boys and girls
he has at a cost of. $1.30, if his

Senate Satarday Afternoon The Final
Vote The President Send a Measaae
Reeommeudlns a Currency Commission
and the House Acted on the Message
Bat the Senate Did Not Extra Session
Adjonrns. . ; - x- .
Washington Dispatch, 24th. '
The tariff bill passed its last leer-
islative stage 'at 3 d. m. to dav
when the Senate, by a vote of 40
to 30, agreed to the conference re
port on the bill. The announce
ment of the result wan greeted
with enthusiastic applause by the
crowded chamber. This closed
the great labor for which the Fifty-
nnu uongress assembled in extra
ordinary session, and, after stnb-
oorn lesisrance, at times tnreaten
ing a deadlock, the Senate con
curred with the House in a resolu
tion for final -adjournment of the
session atj) o'clock to night.
ine President's message for a
currency- commission was received
by. the Senate, bat the Honse bill
creating the commission was not
acted upon. Thus the closing day
was prolific of a series of moment
ous events, each of which, alone.
would have been of extraordinary
interest. f ; j
An analysis of the final vote in
the Senate shows that the affirma
tive vote was cast by thirty-seven
republicans, one democrat (Mo
Enery), one silver republican
(Jones, of Nevada), aud one popu
list (Stewart). The negative vote
was cast by twenty -eight demo
crats and two popaliata (Harris
and Turner). iMr. Teller (silver
republican) and two populists
(Allen and Butler) were present.
and did not vote. One ponulist
(Kyle) and one 'silver republican
(Pettigrew) were absent without
pairs, which was equivalent to
withholding their votes. '
After the passage of the bill
there was considerable - sparring
over agreeing to the resolution for
final adjournment. Mr. Bacon.
democrat, of Georgia, moved that
tbe President's t message, recom
mending a non partisan currency
commission, be; laid before the
Senate. On a viva voce vote the
motion prevailed, democrats votiner
solidly for it and many republicans
joining
in tne aturmattve. Tbe
message was then read. Senators
giving close attention. At 7 p. m.
the Senate took a recess till 8:45,
when it re assembled for a brief
concluding session. Only sixteen
Senators were preseut and the at
tendance in the galleries was slim.
The President's message recom
mending a currency commission.
on motion of Mr. Cullom: was re-
tf a -
ierrea to tne finance committee.
This closed the work. There
was a momentary lull and then
tbe Vice President announced :
without day." i
Scenes In the Honse That IUw W.wl
the Monetary Commlssloa Bill.
Washington Dispatch, 24th.
The last session of the Honse
was marked by many interesting:
events... In addition to the final
act of the Speaker in affixing his
signature to the Dinglev tariff
bill, a bill providing for the" crea
tion of a currency commission was
crowded through m the closing
hours and the ! spectators who
thronged the galleries were treated
to a contiuoons, if uot very bril
liant, fusilade of oratorv for sev
eral honrs. The ! Honsa rprofinori
until after the Senate had adopted
the conference renort. and nnn
minute and thirtv-one seconds
after, the House reconvened the
engrossed bill was signed and on
its way to the . President. Tbe
demonstrations which , marked
these events were enthnsiaatie.
The galleries played a significant
part in them. When the Presi
dent's message came in recom
mending the creation of a curreucy
commission, it was answered bv
the republican leaders with great
promptitude. By means ot a spe-
cial order the Stone bill, intro
duced some davs ago with the an-
r At. -a
pruvai 01 tue amendment, was
brought to a vote after an honr'a
debate. Considerable feeliner wan
manifested on both sides. There
were some sharp exchanges and
some bitterness was displayed.
There was, of coarse, tbe usual at
tempt to make political capital ont
of the situation, but all realized
that tbe bill would not pass tbe
Senate, and to that extent the de
bate lacked seriousness. Still, the
republican leaders felt they were
doing their duty. When the vote
was taken the republicans nrm.
sented an unbroken front, with
two exceptions Mr. Linney, of
North Carolina, aud Mr. Mahoney,
of New York who voted, with tbe
opposition against the bill, which
was passed by a vote of 124 to 99.
As the final act of the session, the
Speaker announced the. appoint
ment of the committees.

The Dingleyj tariff bill is now
the law of the land. The last step
necessary was taken at the White
Uoase when the. President affixed
his signature at 4:04 o'clock to day.
It bad been arranged that the
f resident should eo to tbe carjitol
to perform that fuoction, but owing
to nncertaintyj as to the time that
the bill would be ready, that plan
was abandoned. The members of
the cabinet who were in Washing
ton came to the White House about
3:30 o'clock and assembled with
the President in the cabinet room.
A few moments before 4 -o'clock
Eepresentative Dingley appeared,
accompanied by Representative

committee on enrolled bills.
