The ansoal convention of the Bute Sapertiteeleat ofPubllo Instruction and the, Coon ty Superintendent began here this monlug lathe House of Representatives. Tae stent of the morning session wa-itoe address of State Superintendent Joj nor, to this the second annual meeting of the Association. He stated that since last November 88 new local tax districts have been established, most of these In raral districts, making the total number 174, these being In 63 counties, from pare to Cherokee, Daie with 18, Guilford with 17 and Alamance with Bleeding the State, the Increase being 180 In two years. The decrease of school districts by consolidation Is 557. The aglti.thn for local taxation and consolidation Is actively In progrets. During the year 847 new school houses were built, the expenditure being $140,493. The total value of school property Is $l,629,803,an Increase of $208,148, during the present year and an Increase of $478,493 In the past two years. The loan fund has greatly stimulated the building and improvement of s hool houses, $68,811 having been lent to 60 counties for 177 districts. There Is yet 41,698 of this 'fund available. All the rural libraries made possible by the act of 1901 have been established and under a new sot 115 libraries have already been established. There are atlU about 8HH) white school districts with less Uutn 69 children of school age. The percet tage of Illiteracy Is still appaling and sug rests specially in view of the ppsslble disfran chisement of thousands of white voturs a atependous work to be done in remov ing this Illiteracy before 1908. There Is an Increase of 10,100 children In the aver age dally attendance on the white rural achools, an increaso of at least 6 pe rccnt during the present year. This Increase has never before been approximated In North Carolina. It is the most practical and substantial evidence of an awakened and abiding Interest in education on that has yet been presented In sty re port of the publio schools of the Hute. There are yet 161,797 white calldranoi school age not enrolled In the ' p utile schools.

We hear conflicting stories concerning the sad death of W W Weeks of Bogus, mentioned last week In the Journal Our new Doctors, Whltty and Watson have Just completed almost a miracle In the way of curing .ailments in horses. Mr D O Ward had one of bis horses crippled so badly that Mr Ward wanted some one to kill him, offered to take 25c for the horse, a horse worth before the accident at least $160, bat these medics came along Just in time to save the horse's life also Mr Waid's 35c They just looked the horse over, gave him their "Maglo Wand" and breathed into his nostrils the breath of new life and In 24 hoars after, Mr Ward refused $100 for him, fortunately no bones were broken, but suppose that would make no difference with these Inspired horse doctors. If you have a horse slok, call on Drs. Watson and Whltty, charges moderate.'

"Not to Dome" la a newly painted sign, which greets any one who enters ye bouse document room from Stat uary ball at the capltol. It bangs upon the recently constructed spiral stair case, which looks aa if it might lead to the great dome almost directly overhead, but It does not. and there fore has fooled very many vial tors to the greet building. 1 When the document room was open ed to the sightseers a short time since after undergoing thorough renova tion and repair at cost of f 17,000 the staircase attracted the attention of many people. They proceeded upward and after weary toll through darkness, j dust and books reached a small dense room stuffed with "pub. docs." Though they did not know it, they had discov ered one of the nooks in which Joel Grayson, the national character in the bouse document room, stores govern ment publications. One day recently one of the clerks intercepted a middle aged man who was going the wrong way to the dome. "Oh, you can't fool me," he replied. "I guess I know. I worked around the capltol ten years ago, and I'm on to these things." lie soon discovered, however, that be was In a building as bewildering as the maee of the Cretan labyrinth. ' Conductor on Presidential Train. A new conductor for the special train to carry the president when he desires to travel will have to be provided. Wil liam M. Johnson, the man who has been In charge of all the trains carry ing the president since the burial of President McElnley, has been promot ed and sent to Chicago by the Pullman company. Johnson has been regarded as the only man competent to take charge of the presidential train. His first as signment In that line of Work was when the body of President McElnley was brought to Washington from Buf falo. His first assignment after the one that took him to Canton was to carry President Roosevelt to the Charleston exposition. He then took the president to Pittsburg, July 4, and did it well. The long tripe made by Conductor Johnson were the ones to the Pacific coast Portraits of Former Postmasters. The portraits of former postmaster generals which hang on the walls of the post office department have been so arranged that the likenesses of those who are still living are grouped to Mr. Payne's room, while the portraits of those who have died are hung In the larger waiting room. The painting of Mr. Wilson & Btssell after the cus tomary thirty days of official mourning Will soon be removed to the waiting room. This will leave seven former postmaster generals to look down upon Mr. Payne. One of these is James M. Truer, who is under indictment and at an advanced age Is evidently nearing the end of life. He was postmaster general for the lest year of Grant's ad ministration, which ended more than twenty-six years ago. Contract Labor Law Violated. A systematic and extensive violation of the contract labor law has been dis covered by the bureau of Immigration, and steps are being taken to deport a number of immigrants who have arriv ed at New York. The immigrants are Welsh coal miners, persuaded to come to the United States by advertisements for 8,000 miners, who are promised from 16 to 25 shillings a day. The bu reau of immigration has collected evi dence which shows that the advertise ment was inserted by agents of the Ellsworth Coal company, Ellsworth, Pa., the miners being brought over in violation of the contract law. Twenty-eight Welsh miners, includ ing one woman, are now detained at Philadelphia. Officers of the United Mine Workers are responsible for the detention of the imported minci Cncle Sam's Grocery. In administering the pure food law the secretary of agriculture causes samples to be taken from all Importa tions of food-products. These samples are paid for by the government and are used in the analysis to determine purity. Undo Sam has decided to es tablish a grocery store In Washington to dispose of the pure samples that re main after the experiments. Authority has been granted by the treasury de partment to the agricultural depart ment to engage in the retail trade, and without license the government will sell choice imported food products at cost price. - : Foremen Mnat Fnrnlsat Bonds. Another step la the reorganisation of the methods of the government print lag office is effected by an order an nounced requiring a 110,000 bond to be furnished by the needs of departments. This action la designed to have the property ot the government in the hands of v responsible parties and is in Una with the maintenance of a more Vigilant management of the office. Land Withdrawn. William A. Richards, United States land- commissioner, has withdrawn from entry about 200,000 acres of land in Montana, north of Great Falls. This land was being, entered under the des ert land act which permits the taking ot 820 acres by one person. It was found on investigation that the land was not desert land, but was producing good crops without irrigation.. President Cemmates Sentenoee. The president has commuted to ex pire immediately the sentences of Mar lon Marshall, Cyrus Balnea and Bur ton Harper, coal miners, who were con victed in West Virginia of restating a United States deputy marshal. ; They were sentenced on June 11 last Mar shall and Harper to eight months and Raines to five months In Jail. : .
