vEeading is a vital force, and good
books often decide tne destiny of an
individual. Has not the fate of
nation sometimes been determined
by its literature?.
Injbooks authors speak to a very
larze part of mankind, and the daily
press virtually influences the niinds
. of its thousands of readers. From
' these sourcee too we learn much of
the.eapacitia and sufferings, the
follies and goods of men.

-thinking and higher resolves and
- greater self-respect it is a mighty in
flnence for the betterment of the

Of -all the evils on earth which
ought to call forth public condemna
tion there is none more destructive
than impure literature. It affects
: life's common duties, its enjoyments
- of the best sort. The baleful effects
. of pernicious books cannot be easily
.'estimated in words. A veritable
- marvel is the fact that wide awake

To read elevating and inspiring

COL. CARE FAVORS FREE SILVER.
Anil tines Ketsoug for the F.iitli Tlial
is in Hint-It Was the lNllr or Our
UsUdUs and Its Demonetization Was
the Iliad of All Oar Woes.
Col. Julian S. Carr ! A name
magical and magnetic to conjure
with in North f':irt!in:i. A jer-Mn-ality,
which, like t lint of the hunen
ted Vance, possesses an abiding in
terest for the people of the good old
North State. A mau whose prime
ly philanthropy knows no bounds
and no distinctions. A man whose
heart is a home for the humanities.
A man the characteristic charms of
whose courage, eloquent with enthu
siasm, enlisted in any enterprise, se
cures and signalizes success to that
standard from the start.
A representative of the Review
met Col. Carr on the train a few
days ago, and desirous of eliciting
his views upon the great overshadow
ing issue before the people, found
him. while not anxious to rush into
print to vaunt ami exploit his views,
ready to give clear cut opinions
when asked for.
Without an instant's hesitation
and without waiting to choose words
which would be susceptible of more
than one meaning, Col. Carr, with
that candor and audacity which has
always been with him a native ele
ment, plunged boldly into the sub
ject and said:
"I am a silver man. I faor the
resumption of the full and free use
of the 'Dollar of our Daddies' the
money of the Constitution the
money of the people. I want to re
turn to the palmy days of the silver
regime. I am old enough to know
that since that great crime of the
century the demonetization act of
183 waa committed we have wit
nessed an epoch of contraction and
depression unparalleled in our his
tory. The assassination of silver
sonnded the Iliad of all our woes,
in my opinion.
With doe deference to the views
of these gentlemen, whose ominous
speculations cannot, of course, be
answered in advance, I assert my
unalterable faith "in the revivifying
power of silver and am willing to go
on record now as favoring the fight
for its restoration to its former place
as money. I have no desire to be
misunderstood on this great ques
tion." Col. Carr's views on the silver
question were further elaboratsd as
follows:
1. I favor the immediate repeal
of the law demonetizing silver and
the immediate restoration of silver
to the position held by it before the
passage of that law. This will make
silver, as well as gold, money of
fmal iMvment. Money will than be;
eaaior and trade will revive, debts
and taxea will be eaaier to pav.
2. "I favor the continued coinage
of silver at the present ratio as long
as the country needs - more money
and as long as we can keep a silver
dollar equal to a gold dollar. We
are now floating nearly $00O,000,(KH
of silver, and we can float fully twice
as much, if the Government will
make it legal tender in all sums for
all debts, both public aud private.
3. "If other nations will io:n us,
all right, but we are a big enough
country fo Bnpply ourselves with all
the gold and silver we need.
4. "Crold tends to rise in value, if
used exclusively, while silver tends
to fall. If both are used together
they will balance each other, and the
resultant will be more stable than
either component.
"I realize that many good men,
whose opinions are entitled to re
spect and consideration, differ with
me touching this important ques
tion, still after a careful study of all
the conditions, I shall abide as a
friend of the White Metal the peo
ple's money." Reidsville Review.
FUTURE OF RAILROlDlNU.
A speed or two and a Hair sues per
Xiante Expected to be attained.
Here is somethfng colossal now
and passing the limits of sane ima
gination in future possibilities: The
greatest locomotive works in the
world, the Baldwin, representing
10,000,000 in capital and controll
ing the chief patents in locomotive
enginery, and the V estinghouse
iilectnc Company, representing
10,000,000 in capital, itself one of
the two greatest, and more likely
the greatest electric motor company
in the world, have combined.
Steam gives way to electricity.
One company will furnish the trucks,
wheels and the like, the other will
furnish the motors, the power
makers. One says it has motors to
carry trains 150 miles in sixty min
utes, the other, says it will furnish
wheels and axles and cars strong
enough to stand such a strain; both
say trains will be moving at this rate
withm a few years, having in mind,
of course, the great trunk lines,
whose road-beds are sound and sta
tions few and far between.
The Westinghouse Company has
recently come into a patent for
street railway motive that is expect
ed to save us from the trolley and its
horrors and supercede the cable ears.
It is an electric device, not com
plicated, and apparently practicable.
The combined companies will give
attention to work of this kind and
to elevated railway construction in
the oities before taking to the conn-,

Seventeen of the Winston rioters
have been convicted and sentenced
to work on the roads. Three went

months and three for three mouths.
One waa fined $oo.0, three were
discharged upon payment of costs
and two were discharged on account
of old age and infirmity.
Jndge Brown in sentencing the
rioters, told them they were given
ample time to disperse and if they
had done so when commanded there
would have been no prosecution but
having defied the law they could not
come into court and say they did not
mean to do it. Their action was

Mr. Adee has been in the service of

they could "till the bill," as well as
Mr. Wilson ov Mr Adee. The papers
are having a great deal to say about
the delay in issuing General Han

he went to Gray Gables and was
given the cold shoulder. This tan
not be true, for when General Ran

that he was to leave for Mexico in

will be promptly re-appointed unless

THE DUTY OF THE STATE.
State's Care of the Poor And Neglrct for
Preventing it Existence.
Even during the hard financial
strain of the past two years the
great majority of those who have
suffered have been those who have
never been taught to do anything,
or at least never been taught with a
thoroughness that makes instruction
convertible into terms of dollars and
cents, bread and butter.
The generic problem of the race is
to keep soul and body together, and
the school problem is first of all to
put the rising generation in the way
of making the junction of the two
possible. So long as the State as
surors the care of paupers it is the
duty of the State to use its best
means to prevent the existence of
paupers, and one of the' most direct
means to that end is to see to it that
all the children in the State are
thoroughly instructed in reading,
writing and arithmetic, and are
substantially trained in the practice
of some form of remunerative hand
iwork, writes the Rev. Charles II.
Parkhnrst, 1. !., in a vigorous
article on ''Compulsion in Child
Training," in the September Indies'
Home Journal.
There is work enough to be done
in tnis nig worm bv people who are
willing to work and who know how.
The idea of immense wealth secured
by some process of rinancial legerde
main has so ervaded the general
atmosphere that a suflieienev has
ceased to satisfy, and a young man
resolves either to speculate his way
to fortune, or to steal some one's
else fortune, or if both these expedi
ents fail, to turn professional idler
and subsist on charity. The incen
tive to subetantial equipment for the
struggle of life is thus withdrawn.
If 1 were the State 1 would com
pel every child to acquire the means
of an honest 1 i velihood . even at the
risk of the whip, and then if, hav
ing acquired that means, he failed
to avail of it to his own mainten
ance, 1 would commit him to the
workhouse and keep him at hard
labor there till he experienced a
change of heart.
There is no respectable consistency
between State's care of the poor and
State's neglect of stringent means
for preventing the existenco of the
poor. If a government ought to be
"paternal" to the extent of feeding
paupers it ought to be "paternal"
to the extent of obliging possible or
intending paupers to be aide to feed
themselves.
The root difficulty in all this mat
ter is the indisposition of parents
and other constituted authorities to
make serious business of laying
substantial foundations in the early
years oi our young people, boys and
girls.
One of the chief sources of misery
among the working classes is the
wife's ignorance of the duties that
belong to her. She is ignorant of
them because she has never been
compelled to learn them.
If we could split half of our pianos
into kindling wood and pluck the
strings out of three-quarters of out-
harps and banjos, and set our young
girls to the practical task of becom
ing proficient in a self-sustaining
way upon some line or other of re
munerative industry, it would be a
great benison to society in general.
In whatever direction we look and
whatever improvement we seek to
effect, we come back to it again and

ALLIGATORS (JALORE
Three l)t,t i Ki It d ut Swutliport by Oue
Fanner Whose Hogs They Mere De
stroying:. The Joi KNAi, has from time to
time given items of alligators being
killed or captured in the rivers and
( lakes near the city, but the South-
port Ix'ader gives one which in num
ber beats any we know of around
here. We copy it:
Adrian Moore, the well-known
watermelon farmer, who lives above
Southport, on the Cape Fear river,
, was greatly troubled all last year, by
aligators. which showed a special
fondness for Farmer Moore's hogs
and pigs, his losses being twenty
four head. This year the aligators
! threatened to again put away all his
i fresh pork, but Moore purchasing a
; Winchester rifle, made it his busi
; ness to watch by the river bank and
: shot each aligator that appeared in
j this way, killing thirty-two, which
he thought was the entire crop.
I But again the hog" began disap
i pearing, so Moore laid in wait, and
killed four more of these pork con
sumers, which secmes t to have end
; ed the business, as no more hogs
, have gone. The alligators secured
, the hogs by striking them with their
i tails, when the hogs would go down
I into the marsh, bnt they even went
up on the bank, when a hog came
! near enough, he received a thump,
land was soon gone. The alligators
! killed, were live to nine feet in
length.

joint councilmanic committee which
will accompany the Liberty bell to
the Atlanta exposition, in the event
of the court refusing to grant an in
junction restraining the transfer of
the relic, met this afternoon. The
sub-committee on the transportation
presented a new itinerary to corres
pond with the change in the time of
the departure from September ICth
to October oth, as agreed upon at
the last meeting. The schedule as
arranged shows the time of arrival
and departure of the train from all
the stations along the route. Copies
will be sent to all the points in or
der that the residents will be enabled
to obtain a view of the bell while en
route.
A communication was received
from Senator Butler, of North Car
olina, calling attention to the fact
that the first and the last battle of
the revolution were fought in North
Carolina and suggesting that the
route of the bell be charged so that
one stop be made at Greensboro and
another at Charlotte. The letter was
referred to the 6iib-oommittee on
itenerary, with the understanding
that these points would be taken in
on the return trip from Atlanta.

BEUIN SCHOOL PROMPTLY.
Aud Attend Punctually from the First
Day to tne Last The Harm to the
Scholar and Difficulties Imposed oo
the Teacher by Lax Attendance,
One of our educators takes a clip
ping from the Religious Herald with
the request that we transfer it to the
columns of the Journal. We do
no with pleasure for the article is ex
cellent, and while it is addressed to
the Virginia pupils of 1895-96, it
contains words of truth as applica
ble to New Berne as to those for
whom the words of advice and argu
ment were penned. The venerable
iwithor, now ninety years of age, was
the "first President of Richmond Col
lege and having spent the most of
his life in the instruction of the
youth, is widely known as an educi
tor. Surely such words of wisdom
deserve to be heeded not only
1 Virginia but over the border:
"An old teacher begs leave to call
the-attention of all the irginiakpu
pils of both sexes who propose to at
tend any school, from the kinder
gartcn to the university, during tiie
coming session, to the importance of
punctuality.
"1. In the early history of the
State, the custom was to give a va
cation of two mouths,and thus make
the session of ten months duration
The prevailing habit of the present
ace, by common consent, is to ex
tend the vacation to three months
and to contract the session to nii:
mouths. The former is given
good measure say fourteen weeks
in
and the latter in scant measure say
thirtv-eiffht weeks. These numbers
will be found on examination to be
true of a large maionty of our
schools.
Now take off Saturday from the
thirty-eight weeks for which we
have'no authority but usage -and
the Lord's day for which we have
divine authority and we have 190
school days and 175 rest days in the
year. Ut wnat otner caning in me
can this be said ? What an excellent
opportunity is thus given to pupils
to forsret what tuey learn, wnat a
heln to that dissipation of mind
which disqualifies for new and difli
cult studies: "lilue J)londay is a
tanding proof that bovs, returning
to their books alter an absence oi
even two days, often feel a stronger
distaste for their work. Shall not
parents, teachers and pupils, in view
of these subtractions, combine to
I P'"e
prevent the loss of a single day at
Ithe opening of the next session of all
pur schools?
"2. The first days of that period
are by far the most important of all
its days. From the nature of the
case, all the pupils must then be
classified. A new studv is now in
troduced. Its cardinal principles
arc, by frequent repetition, im
pressed on all the minds of the class
The full understanding of these is
necessary to the comprehension of
all that "follows. The desuetude of
the pupils to study is rubbed off and
they begin to progress hopefully and
rapidly. The preceptor ieels nice i
teamster who has just gotten a load
ed wagon up a long and steep hill.
But now a new member is asigned
to the class, just two weeks behind
the time. He brings from home the
request that he shall prosecute the
very subiect in hand. What is to be
.ione? The teacher is clearly not
morally bound to go over all the
ground from the beginning with
him, and if from pure kindness he
attempts it, he feels a dispiriting
fear that at will be futile. It re
quires an unusually apt, diligent
youth to keep up with an ambitious
class and yet learn all that they
have acquired in his fortnight's ab
sence. It is generally found, too,
that the laggard is neither bright
nor studious; otherwise he would
have started at the beginning. The
result is almost inevitable that he
will lose his time and money, and
will be discouraged through his
whole future course.
Many a failure in schools is due to
the want of punctuality. I have
often been obliged, mainly from late
arrivals, to divide an algebra class
into two and set the dullards back
to the definitions of plus and minus,
yet indulgent parents will con-

not confined to the humble institu

! his children to tarry tit home a day
after the session began or to come

Senator Quay gave out the following
statement this evening:
"I have been hearing instances of
attempted bribery of delegates friend
Iv to me all day. As the facts come
to light they fully justify my warn
ings to my friends, telling them
that everything is over except expla
nations. The combine is making a
last desperate charge all along the
line. They are offering sumes rang
ing from $700 to 1.3,000 for delegate
votes. 11ns is not true of any parti
cular locality, but applies to all parts
of Pennsylvania. A careful watch is
being maintained in every county
by my friends and I am promptly
advised of whatever occurs of this
nature. No bribery can be success
fully consummated without my full
knowledge immediately, and I shall
make a full investigation into each
case and lay the facts before the
public. Delegates have been met
with offers of money in some in
stances and positions in others.
These are not idle rumors, but are
fully substantiated facts and I desire
to tall the attention of my friends
to these proceedings, feeling that I
can rely upon their co-operation in
preventing them.
(JOOD ROADS MEETING.
Addresses by General Ray Stone and
Others.
Roakoke, Va. Aug. 24. A good
roads meeting was held at the Young
Men's Christian Association Hall to
day, and was well attended, consid
ering the brief notice that had been
given. II. A. Gillis, vice-president
of the Virginia Good-Roads' Asso
ciation, presided. Adresses on the
importance of road improvement
and the work of the Virginia Asso
ciation were made by General Ray
Stone, Chief of the Roads Division
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, and II W. Anderson,
secretary of the rginia Associa
tion.
W. P. Moomwa.-a supervisor of
tanoke county, told what had been
lone in the county in the way of
oad improvement in the last four
years, and said thnt more money was
needed to carry oij the work.
Mr. Anderson, in his remarks, ad
vocated county supervision of road
with incidental State aid as the best
method for building goods roads.
General Stone and Mr. Anderson
went to Buchanan this afternoon,
where they addressed a similar meet

TIIE CHINESE BUTCHERIES.
Prospects of Their Lending lo War
With England I'osslh j Alio Wbh
the United States,
China may yet be involved in very
much more serious war than the one
it lately had with Japan. Kngland
will not be trilled with, and the
Tory Government is quite apt to
have a war on not the greatest
provocation. The news from Lon
don leads to the conviction that if
China continues its assaults upon
British people, (missionaries inclu
ded) and does not give all possible
satisfaction for the missionaries
butchered as well as satisfactory
guarantees for the future safety of
Her Majesty's subjects, there will be
a very big fight facing the Chinese
such as they nave not had before.
Then the United States are inter
ested, for they have citizens there
who may be threatend by the raven
ous pig-tailed yellow race at any
day. Our interests are not so great
as those of the British people, bnt
they are enough to compel the
United States Government to look
well after them and to prevent
Americans from being massacred by
an angry, brutal race. A dispatch
from Washington of two or three
days ago stated that "the situation
now appears that the Chinese Gov
ernment is taking a great risk in
hampering the commissioners.
Feeling in England on the subject
is intense, and if every opportunity
is not given the British commission,
the British Government, according
to the State Department's view, will
probably take active measures to
enforce its demand for redress, and
compel China to redeem the promise
that the massacre of British mis
sionaries would bo punishod by
death."
Two English missionaries were
murdered and one Ameaican. Miss
Hartford, was injured. Wilming

THE 6UGAR BOUNTY CASE?.
Ths Comptroller Likely to Decide
Against Payment of the Bounty.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 24
Comptroller of the Treasury Bowler
today received the last of tne briefs
in the sugar bounty cases, and has
begun work on his decision, which
will probably be rendered in the
course of a week.
Ho will first, however, have to
render a decision on ex-Senator
Manderson's motion to remand the
whole matter to Secretary Carlisle
on the ground that the peculiar
language of the act takes the dis
bnrsement out of the hands of the
regular accounting officers of the
Treasury. There is a strong belief
at the Treasury Department that
Mr. Bowler will overrule Mr. Man
derson's motion, and will decide
against the payment of the bounty
