N(w that the school tax election is over the question niay be dis cussed dispassionately. . There has been much 'said tor and against it through the press and otherwise. The friends of the cause, with the exception ol a few, have not fought very vigorously for its suc cess, feeling apparently that it would he a lo.st etlort. , This, in deed, was 4tUe true situation, the measure heing . very unpopular from its first announc-eim-nt to the. public. There have, however, been a sufficient number of town ships carried for the increased tax in the State to demonstrate eiiler the good or bad results of tlie law. Upon such results will hinre the future of the ,new system to a large extent. If it is found to meet the demands of . the times for better and longer school terms, the next 1 ' ' l j s legislature, no matter' what its complexion, will let it remain on the statutes: If to the contrary, it will be annulled. The new. law, as far as increas ing the school funds, thereby of fering inducement for a better class of teacher and srivinsr longer schools in the country districts,- appeared good. The statement that the schools in the txmntry are longer now.than the children will attend is not log ical, at least is not good argument. This scribe acknowledges that the children do not attend, generally. more man two-thirds of the time. If, however, tlie. terms were lengthened there Would be a cor responding' lengthening of attend ance. For instancd, during a four months school the children attend on an average, in the neighborhood of three , months. Now, if the schools "were six months, they would attend at least four nTonths and many of the. smaller ones would attend the' greater part of the time. It is apparent then that a longer school term would be beneficial. , Again, it is evident that without local taxation the schools will never be longer than now, the State '.as sessment, nlro'nltr I - ""-'y uii iu me limit; - I 'Hie question, to - fri. neeos to beragitateU &rt i u I Pie educated tc favor til G P0" an. THE ALASKAN FIELDS. The report by Joseph Edward Spurr, the geological survey ex pert, who, headed a party that made a thorough investigation of the Alaskan fieldstast summer, has been made public. ' The report is interesting, coming as it does when the country is in a stato of excite ment over the marvelous gold finds in that region. From it we glean that Forty Mile gold dis trict, or Franklin Gulch, was struck in 1887, which produced about $1,000 the first year and has since been a constant .payer. Davis Creek was discovered in 1K88. when there was' a stampede from Franklin Gulch. In 181)1 gold mining from the interior, as well as on the coast, at Silver How Basin and at. Trad well, re ceived a great impetus. In 1892 Miller Creek was discovered. In 1895 many new claims were staked and it is estimated that '"SO men took out $100,000. Since, then M iller Creek has been the heaviest producer of the Forty Mile (lis trict, and until recently of the whole Yukon. The entire length of the district lies in ' the British possessions. With the announcement of goh m the Klondike district in 1896-97 there was a general stampede to the new regioti. Accoi?ding to latest information 400 claims have been located up to January 1st 1897, on Bonow-a Creek, and about half as many more on Hunker Creek. There jis, says the report plenty of room for ' many - more prospectors anl miners. The dis trict where good prospects are shown spreads over an area of 7oo ;sjuare miles. 1 lie estimated Alaskan gold production in 189(1 by the report is $1-00,000. The difficulties in the wiiy of speedy development of the country is the climate, with a short summer sea son and a long cold winter. Pros Acting, however, is done more in whiter than in summer. V Alaska is not now self support ing, agriculturally. ; . The two objections makes it ex ceedingly perilous to parties go ing to. this region in search of gold. - . " THE COMMISSION NOT SAT ISFACTORY. It appears that the Railway Commission is not satisfactory to the .Populist brethren. The coin mission was a pet -lobby of the Populists several years ago and -was believed would settle many of the supposed grievances put upon the people by the railroads. But u seems now mat me men "ap pointed on the commission have fallen - in with the railroads and are winking at the very things they Once fought. The RaTeiorh rcorresjM)ndent of the Charlotte Observer, referring to the sub ject, says in his letter this" morn ing: '.'Some of the' Populists are dissatisfied w ith the railroad com mission and say it does not put the coulter in deep 'enough. . Thev ll 1 . .1 . i ' X" luimei, alio sav.inai unless there is a great change in the next legislature it will abolish'the com mission.'' This is just as might be expect ed.; But there is at least one Populist who-is apparently satis fied with the commission. Were fer to S. Otho. Wilson. He is en astic over it and will chain pion its cause with great vigor. V. Otho is essentially, deeply inter ested in the commission and is no doubt feathering his nest well upon it. But the. people he is supposed to represent are getting little. Many -of the people, however,-are easily ..duped, and after a little grumbling and an . explanation trom. the commission, will quiet down and have nothing further to say of it. PEEK A' POO. '. It is interesting to note how North Carolina's Senatorial dighi taries," Hons. Pritchard" and .But ler, play peek a' boo at eacliother! Mr. Pritchard says-the Republican party never failed to carry out a pledge; Mr. Butler says they failed in, lSittl. Thesestate ments grate upon each otheP, and the reading public is left in a quan dary as to which ' is rio-ht. It is evident, however, that the veracity of one or the other is at " fault. While ' their : lan guage, does not harmouize, they are," so far as the people know, on speaking terms with each other. and friendly, to a degree Both gentleman are apparently cunning, and have a line marked out which will be followed with a dogged tie- termination.. Hide and seek is n precious nice" game for boys in season, anKt is evidently enioyed by the Senators. But with this kind of tactics in North" Carolina's only representatives in the Senate what is likely to become of her interest ? is the question of the peo ple.,. It is slid. that the weather lias been so hot in Kansas that corn was roasted on the stalk. . ANARCIHSM. The gospel of anarchy has once more called attention to it self by the assassination of the Spanish premier, murdered, ac cording.to the latest cable dis patches, because of his activity in the prosecution of the criminals who a little more ithan a year ago threw a bomb into a religious pro cession at Barcelona", killing twelve persons and injuring fifty others. For assisting in bringing to justice the cold-blooded and merciless wretches who committed this hor rible crime the Spanish statesman was condemned to death by a se cret anarchist tribunal and delibe rately shot- down almost in the presence of his wife. The object in view was twofold- to avenge the death of their comrades and to strike terror into the repre sentatives of law and thus ' heln forward the cause of anarchism Whatever satisfaction' they may derive from the death of the Span ish premier, the leaders of this propaganda, of slaughter and po litical chaos ought to realize as in-1 telligent men, which .many of them are said to be, that the latter ob ject cannot be accomplished by the means which they have chosen, and that they and not society must be annihilated in the warfare they have inaugurated. To kill a Czar, to murder the President of the French republic, to attempt the life of an Italian king, to strike down '-a Spanish statesman, effect nothing except to tighten thereins of government and to check the progress of (liberal ideas. Society is not frightened by these demon strations. It knows to well its own power and - resources and the weakness and small numbers ol those who are attracting it. The murderous programme of the an archist and nihilist simply bends it together and arouses it to crush out mercilessly the elements that conspire against its peace. The anarchist may continue his cam paign of bloodshed with more or less in individual cases, but he will never prove dangerous to so ciety'or to government as long as he proceeds on the line of assassi- nation. A Half Gallon. Taken at Once. Mr. M. Crouse went" to pick up a rock Saturday .to place under his crib when a deadly copper-head, that was concealed there, bit him on the finger. His hand began to swell and he suffered excruciating agony until he was relieved. A dog that killed the snake was also bitten and his head swelled up as large as two dogs for a while. I'p in this country where "mountain dew" is plentiful one need not suffer much from a snake bite. A half gallon taken at once will gen erally bring relief in a few min utes.--Elkin Times.

Would ' give tlie name but for the fact that I had to pay-for the wheel. Will only say, therefore, in ac cordance with- the ethics of our profession, that it is NOT the wheel anybody .says it is. I hold him by the withers right in the 'middle of the road, and mounted without assistance. I dismounted . in the saminde pondont manner. Got on agaiii and y proceeded to break him to saddle. Did I ride the tirst time? Well, say! People had told me liars of all ages and both sexes that .1 couldn't fall, if when I felt that I was falling, I would stick out my foot. 1 stuck out both feet and both hands and fell on my head I fell on one side of that diabol ical wheel and then on the other: I fell on. both sides at "once: I fell on top of it and underneath ft, and made "dog-falls" with' it. I fell behind the4iind wheel and in front of the front one at . the same time and don't know yet how I did it. I fell and thrust both my legs through the spokes of one wheel.
