The telegram was sent to Richard Gil bert, secretary of Diatrlct No. 2, Clear field. Pa. It was as follows: "Issue circular letter instructing all mine workers In central Pennsylvania that they are not to load coal for shipment Into markets formerly supplieu by' anthracite operators. We are Informed that the Philadelphia and Reading, Delaware and Hudson and the Jersey Central railroad are now attempting to defeat anthracite strike by sending their cars Into central Pennsylvania to load them with bituminous coal. Please comply with this request at once." President Mitchell said that he had been watching the bituminous coal field closely for just, such a move as be alleges has been made by the rail roads mentioned in his telegram, and be does not fear that they will make' much of a success In getting the soft coal Into the anthracite market The miners In th central Pennsyl vania region, he continues, are In thor ough sympathy with their fellow work men In the eastern part of the tate and President Mitchell feels sure that as soon as they find that the coal they may be loading or asked to load Is to take the place of hard coal they will refuse to hsndle It, Labor leader do nok anticipate any suspension of work In the soft coal field unless the operators insist upon sending their coal to the anthracite market.

President Mitchell, the head of the strlklnr miners organisation, ex pressed the belief thst the operators had decided to offer th miners an in crease of wages, but he, too. declined to admit whether he possessed any further Information on the subject.

The spirit of all oar laws seems to be against combining Church and State in any way. leWri mm. . nnea . puouc scnooi is com bined with - a Denominational School the beet interest of the public echoo can rarely If ever be served. The pub- Ik: school will not have the support of all the people when united with the church school. The public schools are for all the people, aupported by all the people, and must serve all te people by giving Instruction without any re gard to denominations or churches. "The law provides for combining public schools with private, but I do not think this, in any sense, means denominational or church schools. Therefore, my instruction to you as county-superintendent, is that you do not combine public schools with de nominational schools. I tm aware that these church schools have well prepared, teachers, but, notwithstanding this, the primary bject for which they are employed ia to benefit the church, and in every community we find some parents who will not send . their children because the school is under church influence other than their own. "We must not have any hindrance or objections to our public school that may be easily avoided. We must have the united support of the people In the public school work If .the work Is ever to be and to accomplish what It should." CARR A FAVORITE. His Chlms oa the v Urred.

Julian S. Carr?" Did oth ers fight when the Ub3rtie3 of their country were in peril? We com m 2nd to you the untarnished record of Julian S. Carr. Did others sound the clarion blast for the redemption of North Car olina in the days of 1898 and 1900? Yea, verily, and Carr was not the man in that trying period of whom it might be aald: "He dallies is a dastard. He who doubts is damned." Have others contributed money to the campaign fund? The donations of Ju lian S. Carr hare been princely, anl when W. J. Bryan waged "the flrtt bat tle," at whose expense and in whose private car did he make his triumphant tour through the State so grand in past achievement and so rich in future promise? Gen. Carr's, of course. Throughout this campaign the c:u e of educat'on has been the shibboleth cry.- Fusionists hurled the. charge at the Democracy of North Carolina that the echoola of North Carolina were retrograding and the shameful badge of Illiteracy was growing broader in ita proportions. The Democracy said wa are going to Increase the length and efficiency of the public schools, and th' was the slogan cry that led ther cohorts to victory.

Every other aspirant for the Senate hss held some office of honor and trust The election to Congress is not a small compliment to be paid a citizen of this State or any other, and ihe demity collector of revenue is a pl9ce of honor and emolument. At said at the outset, all tbej gen tlemen are deserving and ehould be re warded, but this is the time for every ex-Confederate soldier, every son of such soldier of voting age, every friend of education, religion and every . man who believes In rewarding patriotism, integrity, loyalty to the banner of God and the cau? e of ; eiu ation to - vote for J. S. Carr. . The only charge I have hear J against General Carr is that he "hain't much of a speaker." He is a good enojga speaker to tell what he knows, and hi is rs much alive to the interest of this State and nation as eny man in North Carolina. ' We have too much speaking and too little work in the Senate and every where else. We need a man who knows what to do and doe3 it, and I have, in convention parlance, "named my mas." the liar.

Especially lavish has bit hand poured Into the treasuries of in dustry, agriculture, private and nubile school a, collegia, universities, churches and into ihe cottages of the poor.
