REPUBLICAN PLATFORM ?"Platforms, a* *we all kijow, mtan nothing: as expressed by the different parties, but we want to commend the Republicans for that part of ibeir platform adopted at Durham - tart week, touching the sehrol ques-. ticm. Leaving out the preamble, it fyg. ? "The constitution of the state prt- > vides for . a state system of public ! schools. We favor such a system ! of taxation. There is no defensi- I tie reason why a hundred dollars . Wfirth yf prnpprty in imp county should pay in taxi? 94c f -r run- ' j lie schools, while a hundred dol- ) lars worth of property fn an ad- i joining county pays 29c. Equal | taxation means equal opportunitv. Under the present system . an j eight-month $scho?l term would bankrupt the poorer .counties. ! With a uniform >tate system ? ? jf . taxation, an eieht-months term | could he maintained in every ! ?school district in the state with- I flut Hunt* n '? n'-.i'.'j ?? ? f ? , ?counties, and we pledge our., .best ; efforts to the adaption of a Uni form system that will give to .ill ! the children of *he state' an /equal. H opportunity to secure an equal ; education. Under;, the present ! system, extravagance prevails, ih i the rich c' unties. vith Ions? -te r..s of -sehooir while the weaker coun ties ore struggling with & burden: ' to-.) great to bear in their .efforts .. to maintain . theft*" short-term ! schools. Taxes' from all the pco-V I pie in' the .-tale should .be y.-ed.'tO ; educate all the children Cm t rie state. 'We* demand a spht^1 sys tem not as weak as the poorest , county, but as strong* as the rich- ? est county in the state." But, it will be a long tirntf iiefore have an fight months school term under this plan, no matter how equitable and fair it is. for the simple reason that the "powers that bt" in the Democratic party are op posed to it. \Vd majority J they* .viii > rot do it. Public schools are a ! rttate wide nrop^?it iort. the b y who j is educated toi^ m .the expense of Person county may, when he is ai ?man, bwomc a citizen of some other ! eottoty, and help to promote that ; county's welfare; and likewise the j ~bcy todr.y who is. denied *sn edu?a- j -feion because the -mail county, is not j abjje \o give him t he; advantage ? : : an adiK-ati n. may tomorrow be- \ eome the charge ' f -r me -th*:- cavi ty. and' thu?- it ,t?oes. Ti.ily this ' nchool. question o.e where the | ? strong should help the weak. We do not think we will ever. see the time when we will be willing j to vote the Republican ticket," but we unhesitatingly >av if we were j 1*0 unfortunate as to V? a member of ! the legiflatti; ? f.nd s .n o vile lie-] publican offered ?j.*h a bill a? his . platform call's for, we vo-jhi surely I vrte for it and - pcnK ior it ^ ith I all of our might. \ HEJi HOUSES V,S.

In the place q? new hen htuses you will see on almost every farm you pass a new tjbacco bam going up. It seems that our farmers "can not see any thing in farming sav^- raising to bacco. Their father* raised tobac co, and. Jthey raise it the samtf-way he did, forgetting thai the land ia not in the . same condition, or that 'competition has made it more of a gamble. ^ Yqo mky continue to make tobac co your sole dependence, and con tinue to bjiy flour, meal, meat, .and ' feed stuff tor your work stock,' but you will also continue to become' poorer and poorer with each crop raised. Better go into partnership with that good wife and build her a "ne^ hen' house, so# permanent pas tures and help her with the cows, and spend more time in that garden, and see how soon you will get in a position where you will^ndt have to ask 'any man- to loan you money to make your next crop We are r.fither a prophet nor a seventh son of a prcphet. but we are willing -to *take our Reputation thp.t thf farmer w^i raises a big crop of common tobac co this year is going to owe some body money when he has finished selling. Don't try for a bumper crop f tobacco but try for the BSET to bacco you ever, raised. Every in dication is that common tobacco will Selllow, but you never saw the time 'when good t-ioacco' ''Hi i.uL. -ijl ? a pr St' over cost of production.
