The State Chronicle in discussing the important subject of education says: ''There is no future for a peo ple who do not educate their child ren in the best manner they can. Lack of interest in public education by a people augurs indifi'eince to the best interests not only of the children of a community but to every other interest except selfish interests. Indifference is stagtial ion. Interest in private schools alone is , to narrow the channel of blessings. ; If education is a good thing- for the ; son of Mr .Julian S. Carr or Maj. j It S.

A: Y. COLLARS and X 1 Mr. J. J. liruner, the veteran edi toi of the Salisbury Watchman has passed away. He had been engfaged in editorial work ol years and was the oldsst editor in the State in con tinuous service. He founded the "Watchman ol years ag-o and was al ways true to whatever he conceived to right and was true to his people. Northern Republican politicians seem to consider pensions a panacea for every ill to which the people are heir. In response to the appeal of Kansas farmers for legislation which would afford them some relief, a Kansas Congressman sug-gests an in crease of pensions as a remedy for the depressed condition of that State. That will not satisfy the farmers of any other State. citizen to hasten the coming of that daj- in every way in his power. Seven-eights of the white child ren, not to speak of our duty to the negroes, in North Carolina are absolutely dependent upon the pub lic sell oo Is for what education they receive. It has long been our earn est conviction that, while our private schools have done and are doing much, practical and higher educa tion depend upon the present suc cess and growth of the public school idea as illustrated in the graded schools of Raleigh, (Joldsboro, Win ston, Wilmington, Durham, Greens boro, Salisbury, Reidsville, Fayette ville and perhaps other towns in the State. All the Latest Shapes in Stiff and Stra Hats. Handkerchiefs in endless variety. Major George Chrisman, Jacob Wissler and Mr. Prince, repiesent ing the Farmers' Alliance of the Cnited States, have concluded to es tablish the Alliance Agricultural works at Iron Gate, Alleghany coun ty. Va . The works will employ from three hundred to live hundred hands and their products will go to every sub-alliance in the country representing- four million members. Representative Wilson, the able member from West Virginia, says that in ten years just past the ''Federal Government has received into its own Treasury $11, 000,000, 000, in taxes fiom the people, while its actual expenditures have been less than $';00.000,000. The Govern ment's share of the surplus exaction was thus more than 1 ,000, (100, 000, while the' share allotted to those whom the Government had taken into partnership with it in taxing the peo ple was even larger." lirowei now wants to be the Re publican candidate for Governor of North Carolina at the next election. Tie is cheeky indeed. AVe suppose lie has come to the conclusion that the Democrats will carry the district, next fall and is looking around for something else. He is right. With such a man as Capt. A. H. A. Wil liams, the favorite with all classes and who has the interest of our far mers nearest his heart, as our standard-bearer, we would leave Brower at home by a handsome majorit'. A SEW DDK VI IO AI, HI 1. 1.. Mr. Morrell introduced in the Sen ate an educational bill which is in substance the bill which passed the Senate eight years ago with only six negative votes. The bill provides that all the money received from the public lands and three-fourths of the money received from the land grant railroads shall be set aside for an educational fund. One half of this income is to be distributed among the agricultural colleges until the sum paid to each shall equal $25,000 annually, when the balance shall be turned in with the other half of the income to be used forgeneral educational purpose. This money is to be divided among the States and the Territories and the District of Columbia for the purpose of maintaining a system of free schools, and the division for the first four years shall be on the basis of the proportion of illiterate per sons between 10 and 21 years of ao-e to the whole population of each State. After the first four years the division shall be equal. It is provided that the Legislature of each State or territory shall accept the terms of the bill, and that each State shall maintain a free common school system for at least three months in the year until Jan. 1S02, and for at least four months each year thereafter. There is to be no discrimination between black and white in any one school, but differ ent schools may be established, one for the black and the other for the white race.
