The editor is not responsible for the views of correspondents, but will al low nothing enter the columns of the Citizen that he knows to be false or slanderous. We want intelligent correspondents in every township' in the county. The democratic press of the state is having much to say of the changes made in some state institutions. They characterize it a3 "looting'' the pub lic institutions and as '-develish" partisan work etc. These abusive epithetsjupon the administration have been called forth largely by some changes made at the A. & M. college. We are not prepared to defend these changes. They may have selected men as good or better than those turned out and they may not. Wc want, however, to call the attcution of these same papers who have all along fa vored state aid to 'higher education, that this is a natural outcome of a change in administration which be longs to" state aided and state con- troled institutions. "When demo crats were in power they put demo crats in the faculty and turned out populists and republicans when they found one among them. Popu lists and republicans have put in a few of their men and have left quite a number of democrats in. It is natural that populists and republi cans in power, when they think they have men in their parties as efficient as tne democrats Should rive the places to men of their own political faith. The democrats adhered to this much more closely than others have done. It has been nou-partisan (from a democratic view point) for a demo cratic administration to pnt demo crats in every place in connection with these institutions; it would have been non-partisan, perhaps, to have left all these democrats at the public teat, though no credit seem3 to be giv en for not changing-nearly all the faculty of such institutions. A dem ocrat thinks that for a democratic administration to put democrats al together in charge is heaven-born, but for populists and republicans to make a few changes in minor officers and leave the heads of the depart ments -under democrats is '-devilish." This shows, or ought to Ehow what democrats are. Thev praise a state institution for all if is worth while it is managed by democrats and demo crats get the benefit, but when a few of them lose their job they rant and foam; they throw up their hands in holy horror; they charge incompeten cy or anything else to bring the in stitution into disrepute. They show the magnitude of their patriotism. They love and praise state institutions when democrats control them; they would curse them into oblivion if democrats are not allowed to control; this patriotism is for the pie that is in it for democrats. Yon say populists and republicans love pie. Suppose they were as eager for it as democrats; suppose they put the whole administration of their party in; suppose they bad raved and howled and torn their hair worse than a madman, and had entered a law suit every time a democrat got a place for the last twenty years. Suppose, too, when they could not set the places, they had gone to law yers and tried to get up litigation to prevent tne state saving any money. How much, patriotism and state pride should be accredited, to the man who tries to save the state , for his party, but failing, trie3 to bring into disrepute his own state and institu tions? The State Board of Agriculture was in session, in Raleigh, four days last -week. Somevery important mat ters were considered at this meeting besides much regular work. A committee was appointed to INDEPENDENCE, TRUTH, JUSTICE. PITTSBORO, CHATHAM COUNTY, N. C, JUNE 24. confer with the Governor's council and ask that the Board of Agricul ture, through its commissioner,-be allowed to manage it3 own printing. There seem to be some good reasons why this should be done. The Board found that excessive charges had been made and collected by the state printer. Heretofore, under the state "print ing arrangements, the commissioner and secretary have not been able to correct extravagant charges. The last legislature' left th?Ptate printing to ! the Governor o council and as the Board of Agriculture pays for its printing from funds derived entirely throiigh its work and not from the state treasury, it ought, no doubt, to be put entirely under the control of this Board. . The analvsis of fertilizer was the most important question considered by the Board. The Board has been paying, annually, $10,000 to the ex periment station to analyze the fer tilizer. This experiment station ex ists by reason of an appropriation of $15,000 by the national government, and the same act making the appro priation requires the experiment sta tion to be a part of the Agricultural & Mechanical college. The last legis lature separated the A. & M. college from the Agricultural department. Some of the Board thought that the legislature intended that they should have separate arrangements fur the analysis of fertilizer and that $10, 000 Mas too much to pay for this an alysis. Others. thought that the A. & M. college and the Board of -Agriculture are by their very natures so intimately connected that they should work together as much as possible, for mutual benefit,- and, whether $10,000 is too much or not, it could hardly be. used more judi ciously. It was argued, too, that this will probably enable the college to run without calling for the $10,000 appropriated to it by the legislature. The manner in which the Board of Agriculture gets its money was also considered." It is what is known as a tonnage tax of twenty-five, cents per ton on all fertilizer sold in the state and amounted this year to ovcr$lS, 000, A decision of the courts, how ever, forbids the use of this money except for policing the inspection of fertilizer. So, as there is plenty of money to carry on the analysis of fer tilizer, and, as it can not be used for other purposes, there exists no pressing need for rigid economy, in this especially, when its use aids so worthy an institution as the A, it M. College. The Board, therefore re newed the contract for two years at $10,000 "a year with the understand ing that it.be allowed to name three chemists. Another important matter attend ed to was the improvement provided for the museum.' To any one who has auy state pride; who has ever visited our excellent museum and seen the bvautiul display there of North Carolina's resources;' who has heard from men that know whereof thev speak such men as Prof. Holmes, our state geologist that there is not a museum comparable to ours south of Washington, D. C and who learns that there are annually over thirty thousand people visit this museum, i acreasing the facilities for exhibiting these resources must be a matter of great interest. Last year a large new building was put np and is now ready to be furnished. The Board, ordered a lot of furniture for this purpose. Fortunately for the Board, they can secure this furniture from a North Carolina firm ("White, Ricklc 6c Co., ofMebane,) in every respect as good as that already there and at half the cost The fifty cases in there cost $7,000. White, Rickle & Co. agree to f urnish"seventy-two cases, equally as good for $2,750. An additional janitor was employ ed for this building. The Board se lected S. E. Williams, colored, at a salary of $25 a month. i The circulation of the bulletin for information of the farmers was order-' ed increased' from 20!000 to 50.000. ' (and Jas. M. Allen was elected a clerk ' for this service at $1,000 a year. . j -'- ' 1 TEACHERS AND SCHOOL COMMITTEES! ' For the benefit of i teachers and school committees we wish to quote a few sections from the school law. . Section 2580 of the Code, as a mended by laws of 18S9 aud 1897, reads as following: "The school committees shall liave authority to employ and dismiss fmMiora in lioir rt srrr'ti vfk ill strict ; but no contract shall be made during ) 1"te frm 1 ie Ja ;IS this. "1 he any year to extend beyond the term J county board of education of er.ch of office of the committee-, nor for! county shall on the first Monday in more money than is placed to the!uty and biennially thereafter, elect credit of tile district for the fiscal ! ?n of Eald sc1ko1 districts five year during which the contract is ; intelligent men of good business made.

E,ha11 5r.ve for tvc. from.t,,? (supervisor), dated within the time prescribed by law. The time prescribed by law is one year. "Teachers of second grade shall re ceive not more than $2o per month of the public fund, and teachers of Tli3 school committee of five to first grade may receive such compeu-1 the township will at once be in' ration as shall be agreed upon; but'eharge of all the schools . in their no teacher shall receive any compen- j respec tive townships, satioufora shorter term than one . No money will bo apportioned by muutii ujucss juuwucuiiauv uiuuei- eu. j-weuiv fccnoui uaa buuu ue u mouth.'' Jn chapter 190, laws of 1889, sec- tiou one, we find: "That the fiscal school year shall begin on the first T T 1 . . 1 I ll.il . il day of July andclofieon the thirtieth day of June next succeeding. Section twenty-four of same chap ter reads: "That as far as practicable the county board shall require all schools to be in session at 'the same time, and no school shall be in ses sion at the close of the fiscal year." The term of office of all school committees now in office expires June 30 th. SCHOOL ELECTION. - In accordance with an act passed by the last legislature, the county commissioners have called an election to be held in each township, on Tues day, August the 10th, on the ques tion of increasing thff school tax. Registrars will take notice that the law requires them to meet and organize on the sixth Saturday next preceding the election.. They will, therefore meet Saturday, July 3rd, at the various voting places and or ganize by electing one of their num ber chairman aud one secretary. Then if the registrars see fit they can leave the books in the hands of the chairman who can register names as well as if all were present. As the pay is not very great, if spine one living near the voting place is se lected, he could do the work at much less inconvenience. Before entering upon their duties, registrars must take the following oath before some magistrate and it must be written, signeel and forward ed to the clerk of court. . The oath prescribed is as follows: "ii , do solemnly 6wear (or affirm) .that I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of North Carolina not inconsistent therewith,' that I will truly and faithfully per- fofmall the duties of the office o - on which I am about to en ter, according to my. best skill and ability so help me God. . Sworn to and subscribed before me this- day of , 1897. ' Lj.p. For information of those inquir ing, we will say the State officers say that the state will surely pay its part to suchlownships as vote the tax upon themselves. This being the case, we have an opportunity to double our school tax. The school tax now is 18 cents upon the hund red dollars valuation. If we vote 10 cents upon ourselves and the state adds its 10 cents more, which it willftliclo5 2cectstc--np do, our tax for schools will be more than doubleeL The ballots to be voted will be "for schools'and '-against schools." These ballots can be either written or printed and are to be furnished by the county commissioners. : The .county Board of education I rrnntlv plprtrnl will h.ir a bnaxr ' J . . . . . .. J and an extremely important meeting the first Monday in July.- They will have to elect a county supervisor who shall have the duties of the county superintendent and the additional . . . .... v i duty of visiting the schools. . The supervisor, the law says, must be a man, who shall' K a practical ytvri'fr'. i.ii'-UlmJ L'J inrm i """" 1 PRICE, 1897. school teacher at the time of his elec tion, or has at least one year's experi ence in teaching school, and. who, shall be of-good moral character and liberal education." They will also divide the county into as many districts as there are townships in the county. Then they will have the additional duty of se- I lectin ! i or school committees. We date of theirappointments, as school committee in said district, and until their successors are elected and qual ified, provided, however, that not more than three members of the said school committee shall belong to the same political party diem until the second Monday in January, and, therefore, there will be no necessity of changing school districts till l.ito in thp f:ill nr ww- j ter. The stat sunori utend cut, re- commends that the new committees have the schools taught this summer in districts as usual where money has been been left over. The utm-xnatic administration has been, for S'.;vcrl years paying the. Ex periment Station SH'.ooo a year to an aljze the fertilizer. The business now is larger requiring more work, and yet when the Agricultural lo.ird nnewed the same contract the News aud Obser ver says it is Extravagant and unlawful and hunts up a lawyer to get out an in junction to break up the arrangement. All this, seemingly, because they fear that an anti-democratic administration will save a little money. , Senator Mallory, of Florida, when in New Orleans recently, spoke of hii start in lifo In that city, md told of the strug gle ht had to make both ends mei.-t.

The commissioners of Meaufort coun ty have absolutely declined t call an election in August for local taxation for schools as provided by the new school lav. - The Wilmington Messenger says fatal results from lightning in this state alone, if it could be ascertained, would reach twenty-five in a year.
