The Raleigh Daily Times has se cured for its readers, and especially that portion of them who love and re member the men and stories of the Civil War, the new book, "Recollee tions of Alexander H. Stephens", and this, will be. published as a serial in The Times. The Diary, as kept by this noted southern man while in a northern prison, is given in full in this book, and our readers will for the first time have the opportunity of reading the incidents of the prison life of this man, whose memory is dear to all. This serial will begin Monday, June 5, and you should not miss a copy. BOXING AND RACING. The Indianapolis authorities de clined to allow two prize-fighters to have a bout on Memorial Day, but encouraged the automobile races on the speedway. Prize-fighting Is bru tal and civilized people frown it down. Racing Is not brutal and is encouraged. "A bruiser is likely to be temporar ily disabled in an encounter with an . antagonist and most states bave en acted laws prohibiting the sport. Nprth . Carolina Is one of the states. Indiana is another. . Yet Indiana in vites the losing of numbers of lives on the race course, because, per chance, 40 or more "daring" drivers do not mind, risking their cars, lives, and lives of spectators for the sake of notoriety and gain. ; The last Hoozler holiday was very fruitful one man was killed and several were Injured. If promoters of prize-fights would arrange to make tbe sport more dangerous they could doubtless Influence the legisla tures of tbe several states to raise tie ban,vv".w- ; FARM LIFE SCHOOL. Nothing more Important was passed by the last general assembly of North Carolina than that which provided for the establishment of farm life schools. In various counties In the state. Much time is expend ed during every session of the gen eral assembly on local bills and bills that little interest the public. The farm life school law while apparently Intended for the benefit of the farm ers only,., will result in much good for all people of every class, whether living in the country, small town, or city..- ..7. The last census of the United States shows the considerable in crease in its population, it likewise showed that this increase was in large measure limited to cities, and that the rural district in some states actually lost population , This fact Was In part due to the unprofitable methods of farming practiced in most sections of our country. Be- ' ' cause of this unprofitable method many energetic young men have left the farms and gone to the city, whose industrial life they thought gave greater opportunity for the expendi ture of their time and energy. In no section of the country has there been greater improvements iu agricultural methods than in North Carolina. It is hot at all unusual for good farmers now to make a bale of cotton to the acre, and. 10 or. 15 barrels .of corn to the acre. Wake county is the home of two record breaking farmers: Mr. W. A. Simp- kins in cotton and Mr. J. V. Batts in corn. These great improvements have been brought about by increased study of the nature of soil and plants. The Agricultural and Me chanical College at Raleigh has been a great service in blazing the way for such improvements, . In addition to the study of agri culture our people need to study what kind of cattle and horses to raise how many of each, and the profit to be made from raisins cattle and horses. They need to study dairying, and how best to manufacture' and market milk in order to get the best results. Much money can be made on raising poultry, if the business be properly understood and executed. Another subject of vital import ance is the subject of home-making. Many of the homes of our people are not supplied with the modern con veniences and therefore the life of the mother and wife becomes one of drudgery. Work can never be dis pensed with, yet it Is the duty of ail intelligent people to lighten burdens wherever possible, Again the record shows that many of our people die each year of preventable diseases. Of the 2,000,000 children born in the United States every year 400,000 die before they are 12 months of age. Many of these diseases should be pre vented, and could if the mothers had had the proper training in the care of them. The health of our people is one of the most important subjects. which should claim their attention. and yet practically no attention is devoted to this Biibject in the ordi nary schools. It is the object of the farm life school to apply itself to this partic ular task, and to teach each pupil to be able to perform the practical du ties of every day life. It should, therefore, commend itself to all par ticular people. While the last general assembly provided for the establishment of farm life schools it provided for only 10 for the entire state. The great question for the consideration of the people of the metropolitan county of North Carolina is, should Wake coun ty secure one of these schools. The great mass-meeting of the cit izens . of ; Wake has been called to meet at the court house at 11:30 m., June 3, to determine wheth er the good people of. Wake county will be given the opportunity to vote on this question. Another mass meeting was held on May 13, in tbe interest of this movement, and the meeting voted unanimously in favor of it. The county farmers' union, which met in Raleigh May 20, placed Itself on the record as favoring one of these schools for Wake. It was at the earnest solicitation of farmers and farmers union men that the gen IDS to eral assembly of North . Carolina passed the bill providing for these schools. Three counties have already pro vided for these schools, leaving only seven to be established; hence the measure has been well weighed and considered and been approved. The cost of these schools Is incon siderable. It is true that a building and equipment, and a farm, costing $25,000 must be provided, but infor mation has already been , received that several townships in the county are sufficiently interested in securing the location of the school to provide a large part, if not all, of the money necessary for farm-building and equipment. Hence all the county should have to do would be to pro vide for the annual appropriation of $2,500, for the running of the school. The state gives an equal amount for the same purpose. It has been calcu lated and found that a tax of less than one cent on the $100 valuation of property less than 10 cents on the $1,000 valuation of property- would provide this annual appropria tion. In other words- a plug of to bacco would pay the tax of a man whose property was assessed at $1,000. . ;'..- The great mass-meeting to be held on June 'a will settle the question as to whether the good people of Wake county shall have the opportunity to vote for one of these schools. Every good citizen in the county, whether he lives In the country or the city of Raleigh, should make it his business to be present. Senator .1. T. Cobb, who framed the farm life school bill, Governor Kitchin, and other prominent speak ers, are expected to be present and to speak. ' . " Press Comment The Pluck of Coney Island. The Spartan who permitted a fox to cat at his Innards, .without ..outward sien of nain. the old Romans who killed their sons rather than strain their own sense of justice, and all the other gaunt heroes of history who are synonyms for courage and fortitude must all step back from the line to make way for the heroes of Coney Island. .. . Had Col. Ferrari, who runs a men agerie at Coney, ever had a fox gnaw ing at his Innards he surely would have trained the animal to inako money for him. Unlike the heroes of other days, who accepted their dis asters with fortitude, the Coney Island men went a step further and turned their misfortunes Into gold. There was Col. Ferrari. While the fire was at Its height the . policemen had to kill his trained lion, Did the rise of the sun on Sunday morning find the colonel weaplng over the car cass? Not a bit of It. The sun found im standing In front of a tent, vigor ously barking: "Ladies and gentlemen, step right Insido and see the most wonderful lion that ever lived, now dead. See the dead lion, ladies and gentlemen. Anybody can See a live lion any day, but ft Is only on extra ordinary occasions that you can see a dead one I mean a dead lion. There re lots of dead ones. Don't be a dead one ladies and gentlemen, nut step right inside and see the dead lion." And they stepped inside, at 10 cents pel scores of them. The restaurant man whose entire plant was burned to the ground had rigged up tables and was serving sandwltches and bottles of beer in the midst of the ruins. He said It was the most profitable day he had ver known. Everybody wanted to sit in the ruins and drink a bottle of beer and eat a sandwich. Nor was the man who owned the elephant daunted by the disaster. Little Hip was dead, but who would not pay 5 cents for a picture of the elephant? "Take one home as a souvenir see, they are all scorched In the die!" And a boy sat In the tent, with a lighted candle at his side, and as fast as he could humie edges the owner sold them to the crowd out- Ide. There's pluck. Its the quality that makes for success wherever It is found. There Is no trouble In the world unless one thinks trouble. Get some of the Coney Island spirit and be appy! Washington Post. Lumber and Lorinier. There are two ways of killing mo3t of the trusts. One, direct and sure, Is to take away the monopolistic priv ileges conferred upon them by the tariff. The other, laborious and less certain, Is to proceed against them In the courts. The first named remedy might properly be applied by a people in earnest. The last named some times looks like a mere diversion by people listless, uncertain or Indif ferent. The Canadian reciprocity agreement is exceedingly distasteful to the . lum ber trust. It makes a break in the tariff wall under shelter of which most of the trusts Were formed. It remits lumber taxes that amounted last year to 11,323,830. It makes rough lumber and wood free. To this extent reci procity Is tariff revision "one schedule at a time," which everybody claims to have desired, and lumber chances to be No. 1 on' the list.. , , ' A concldence worthy of note Is the fact that at the very time the lum ber trust Is rallying all tbe.other trusts rescue it from the peril of reciprocity one of Its principal agents In the sen ate, William Lorlmer of Illinois, Is confronted by the charge that he was elected by bribery, and, singularly, it is shown that the lumber trust collect. ed the money that was used in his behalf. While this might be supposed to embarrass . the embattled trusts which are . trying to save lumber, in fact It does nothing of the kind. So lumber and Lorlmer stand to gether, both exposed, both under chjxrges, both - practically convicted, but both supremely representative of the tariff system. Lorlmer Is in the senate because lumber bought him his seat. How is lumber to contribute Its quota of members to the old guard if It Is to lose Its protection against Canadian lumber and If the other trusts do not stand by lumber now in its peril, what Iwlll lumber do then by and by when the opportunity comes? The hold-up of Canadian reciprocity by lumber and Lorlmer is so scandal ous that it almost scefs as though the people of the United States should take some notice of it, They often denounce -'the'' courts for their trusts decisions. They work themselves into a fury over ' the immunity which the trusts to often receive. But here is a case where one of the .-meanest of the trusts Is In a coiner tight- ting ifor life and plunder, with its sturdy henchman Lorinier at Its side, and there Is more popular Interest in a ball score or a blxinir match! New York World. . George' Consideration;. England's king has come into closer contact with the public during the preliminaries which mark the approach . of his coronation, and it is said that his consideration and tactfulicss have been such as to raise him Immeasur ably in the regard of the people. The lessening of the distance between Eng. j land and the United States lias in- ; creased American Influence In the British Isles, without haying any ap preciable effect upon us here at home. As a consequence the money madness with Which Americans have long been afflicted appears to be affecting the British, and there have not been lacking-signs that during the coronation festivities the British -tradesmen had all their plans laid to trim 'thiMr visl- h.rK in n mntio! tvuL, ai-llt!., f It is evidence Of George's wisdom that he took npte of these prepara tions for extortion, and that ho called in a newspaper man to voice his sen timents of disapproval of them. Lord Northciiffe, the owner of a string of newspapers, of weeklies and maga zines, was given the tip from royalty and he did the' rest. Royal favor or disfavor Is so powerful in England that a hint is all that is necessary, ind if is said that as a result of its xhibition prices will be made more reasonable than they otherwise would have been. In other respects the King s looking personally after the inter ests of visitors and the comfort of his bwn people particularly of the children and the poor apparently thinking of himself , last. The advent of a ruler such as George seems likely to be Is postponing the aboliton of the monarchy In Great Britain. Rochester Herald, In Defense of "Daiifn." A writer In the London Times pro tests that the (line has come when the 'effectation of printing the word damn as 'd n' or 'd ' is abolished." While he further protests that "If here Is the least rtioral objection to spelling the word in full, that ob jection is not : removed by conveying the Ideas by means of a ' ,' with or without an 'n' at the tail. . D-.' sug gests that Its user is 'willing to wound, but yet afraid to strike.'" We agree with the correspondent of the times wholly. Damn Is., a strong word. There is nothing vulgar about it. or hidden or doubtful. It is pure affectation to decline to use It In print wnen it Is necessary, and It is only made vulgar and common, when It Is employed in abbreviated form, with the result that it Is thus emphasized. and all its hidcousness, as it Is re garded by some persons, brought out.
