It ls. no secret that ' heretofore these schools have been Jar below , the mark, the" reason of this being chief ; ly of the very poor quality of a num ber of the teachers; in other words the lack, of teaching ability.

It seems! ' to 'be. the desire ot many persons, of -hoth political parties, and without pro nounced party lines, as well,, to have , a strict "investigation made and see "whether the oft repeated stories that ' the railroads have invested money Jn - this or tha campaign or campaigners are true or untrue and the people who hold this view say that the railways ought to be entirely willing to let such investigations be made. The hearing of the Southern passenger rate case will be resumed Tuesday ' before the Special Master Montgom ery. .Some evidence will be-Introduced, of course, but the State will not then put on Its expert.

"The Ral eigh Evening Times which appeared In one edition late this afternoon con- tallied two sensational statements, the , first was signed by State : Senator John C. Drewry, Grand Secretary of " the Grand Lodge of Masons, and presl ' dent of the newspaper company break i ing his silence of five days regarding ; the vouchers for six thousand dollars ; paid hirf In ten months of last year by First Vice president XTB. Andrews, of. the .Southern Railway. Drewry says 'that two years': ago then own- - . ' j ., . . . - wouldf groatly like "it, as. the News and .pbserver had never treated him or . the .Souther'n.aIrly," bearing' per sonal ' animosity against, both and he insisted on an impartial paper. An drews aald he could not take any stock, but would give advertising to the value of a few .thousand dollars 1 upon the paper publishing the sched , v , , . ? . ules, special notices and suchtcllp' . . - . . pings from other papers as he might designate, the editorial department to be left entirely to the editor. Drewry says the paper Was then enlarged, all this before he had' any Idea of being State senator; that It was April of last year Andrews paid him Southern Railway voucher for f 2,000 which was turned over to the bus! ness manager, George B. Crater and deposited to the credit ot the Evening Times. . That In August last year An drews again sent another voucher for $2,000 which was similarly handled. As the books show- that late in Janua ry last after Drewry was in the sen ate, Andrews, again gave him another like voucher for the same sum, which was deposited ln the bank. ' Drewry says that a few hours later realizing that as senator he might be criticised for accepting such a voucher even though as president of the newspaper and so returned It and that tt was credited February 4, as paid back by the newspaper. Drew 17 denies tlt 1 Andrews or the Southern , Railway onntrlhiiffirt a nirkftl in hla rnmnnlim .fund d,recHy 0f ,nd,recUy ap1 6ays . that neither controlled him In the sen 1 ate or ever tried to do so and th.it In nearly all cases he united against the railways, and voted for the 2 1-2 cent rate. He says this Is a full and frank statement and that he delayed mak ing until he could verify each state ment.' .- . :', . ; : .The second sensation was the fol lowing, which appeared at the head of the editorial column, "A, word per sonal." "This afternoon J tendered my resignation as editor of the Ral elgh Evening Times, to take effect tit once. ' ' (Signed) "3. L. ROTTER.'" It is rumored that other resigns tiona will follow. , 1 It Is noeecret that the State will use with special effort In its fight for the new passenger rate the revela- tlons made as to these ' Southern vouchers and that Drewry's state ment will cut a' large figure In this matter.

Mr. Woodartf .of counsel said that the .state preferred not to begin the investigation at Raleigh unul it had had a complete look at the books. It seems to be the very general be lief that an. examination of the books will show a great many very Interest- tag things. It Is certainly desired to go back to the legislature of 1905 and It has been Bald that If the investiga tion reached as far back as 1897 it would show a great many Interesting things. As a matter of fact it ought to ka back several rears In order to get a full Idea of. the varloua exnen-! ditiira' hv h Turinna hMhti Tho I'nlted States Supreme Court haa said that It was entirely proper to look back three years in such cases in or der to get at matters of moment For example a corporation might spend $100,000 Illegally In 1904, and nothing would show of it In 1905. There are persons who say that the railways ought to court such Inquiries and that their record ought to be as public and above board as those of a state or a county, since, to a large degree the railways- are quasi-public corpora tions.. The next hearing Is to be at Ral eigh and there will be much of Inter est In It The vouchers which have been already referred to as found at Washington have been introduced. The vBtate's experts, who come from the west will 'be put on. It seems that a lot of evidence haa net yet been referred to in the papers. Ot course the state will have plenty ot witnesses, and1 It is expected that a good dal will be- brought out The state regards that at every step it will extend its case. . v Mention has been made a? the fact that a very handsome gateway is to be put up at the entrance to the Con federate cemetery here, very near which the street " railway .will pass. The Ping Granite Company and State Geologist Pratt have"inade a gift to the Ladies' Memorial Association of cut stone worth $450 for one side of the entrance, and the .other half will be ' ordered from this company the association having now secured $CG0 In money. This cemetery at Raleigh was the first eBtablhihed la North Car olina and the monument which stands In it and which was ereeff 1 by a leg islative appropriation was the first one placed in any Confederate ceme tery In North Carolina.

A friend oft State Senator John C. Drewry said 'today that Drewry had talked to him ttys morning and that he said he expected next Monday or Tuesday to make a statement in re gard to the money received by him from the Southern Railway as presi dent ot the Raleigh. Times Publishing Company and Mr. Drewry added that the statement would satisfy his friends fully. Such a statement has been ex pected by the public ever since the publication by the News and Obser ver on Tuesday last of the finding by Clerk Henry Clay Brown of the Cor poration Commission of the vouchers for the paymente above referred to, $6,000. Before the Corpora onCommission today Alfred A. Thompson, R. M. Mil ler, Jr., and T. C. Guthrie' appeared, these representing the North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers Association, Mr, Guthrie being its attorney. : They had a long conference with the commis sion. The Council of State decided to al low the South Atlantlo Trans-Con tl nental Railway to have not less than fifty convicts as soon as the latter are available. The company to give bond of $500 each month, this to be approved by the Council of State. S. A. Jones and T. S. McNeeley appeared for the railway. The session was a prolonged one. As a matter ot tact no convicts are now available forcontract work. Calls for them are very numerous and some have been on file some time. Wade and Moore have now 150 convicts on contract work, 64 are on the Mutta mutikeet Railway, 77 on the Elkln and Alleghany Railway, this total of 2G1 being ail ou this class of work and In fact comprises virtually all the con victs aide to do contract work. Wade and Moore say that they would like to have 1,080 convicts and could find employment at once for them all.

At a well attended mass meeting .of citi zens . last night, it was decided to celebrate the centennial of Greens boro's lncorporatltm as a town, in the autumn of 1908. The general com mittee having the matter in charge recommended July, but this date was 1 changed by the mass meeting a to sometime between September 25 and I October 15th, 1908." It was decided to raise a fund of f 10,000 to aid in the celebration. Res olutions requesting the city counsel to appropriate $1,000 and the county commissioners a like sum were unan imously adopted. The following ' named gentlemen 1 were selected as the board of govern ors or as an executive committee to have entire management of the cele bration: G. S. Bradshaw, R. : D. Douglass, L. J.

He has heard from the last one of the distinguished men solicited to reply to toasts, as well as from Mr. Bryan, 1 and all have not only accepted, andi notified their purpose to be present, but express approval of the Idea of having an old fashioned Southern supper, where true Democracy can be . preached without fear of giving offense to. any. This banquet, and these speeches to be given on Wed nesday night ot the Fair here, Octo ber . 16, will be of National import ance, since not only Mr. Bryan, .but others who will speak will probably sound National as well as state key notes on which will be pitched the issues of the next campaign. The program ot toasts and speeches Is as follows: . "' . , v ,' Toastmaster,, Hon. Alfred Moore Scales. "The Things Upon Which We are Agreed," Hon. Robert N. rage. Con gressman from the Seventh District 'State's Rights," Ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock. - . ' After these . toasts and responses, Mr. Bryan will bel ntroduced by Hon. E. 3.

Mr. Bryan, will be given ample time In which to fully express hla views-on all Important Issues pending- or probable in . the coming national political campaign. The supper given In honor of Mr. Bryan by Democrats of Greensboro and Guilford county, will not be a modern '"banquet," at all , but an old fashioned Southern feast ot reason and flow of soul. ' It will be had In the Immense hall known as Neese Hall at the corner of East Washing ton and South Davie streets. , There Will be seats, plates and food for 400 puests, among whom will be number cd many of the best Democrats and moat prominent men from all parts Ofthe state.

The Committee on Ordinances of the city Board of Aldfcrmen met in the J. J. Wolfenden rooms on South Front Btreet last night .to consider a new ordinance providing for shitting Messrs. R. E. L. Bunch and M. W. Magulre, of the Norfolk and Southern railroad met with them and . Mr. Bunch submitted an ordinance which was discussed at length. The princl- pje part 0f the ordinance provides that the switching of cars shall take place between 7 a. m. and 9- p. m. only and that there shall be four per iods of switching of thirty minutes each, and that violation of this ordin ance Bhould be punishable with tM of $50 for each offensef , Attorney W. W. Clark appeared for the citizens who protested v rfgalnst this measure and said - in. the first place that this ordinance was merely an entering wedge. That at some time in 'he future the company would request for an extension of the time iof Bwitch from 30 to 60 minutes or from 4 to 6 or eight times per day and thereby make the practice as great a' nuisance as it was. formerly. He maintaining that the holding - of cars in the company's yard and de livering, freight In car load lots only ranife Trent;war4 house was. the only I way that the citizens Interested would be satisfied. Attorney R. A. Nunn appearing tor the shippers and merchants held that the provisions of the ordinance as proposed would bring no- hard ship on the people on Hancock street and would be a great help to the shippers. Mr. Bunch explained the practicability of the ordinance and' assured Mr. Clark that the ordinance was not so in any sense and while It served the purpose ot accommodation to the shipper and the railroad it would not at present nor in the future disturb the residents of that street He show ed at how great a disadvantage the company was by the present arrange ment and said that the relief sought tor in this way was the best and most practical way to solve the diffi culty. Mr, Thomas Daniels, chairman pf the committee presided and there"was a good representation of business men and of those who protested against the ordinance. It was decided that a meeting of the ordinance committee and a committee of citizens be held Monday night for the further discussion of the subject was dark and the darky ran, the policeman blazed away with a pistol Andrews recognized the man and aboat an hour later with other of ficers surprised Berry In his home, I capturing him, his Wife and his newly acquired plunder.
