FROM THE CAPITOL OF OUR STATE The Farmers Complainig About the Way Negro Schools are Conducted April 55, 1904. The A. & X. C Railroad inves tigation committee will finish up its work doling the present week, and tlie formal report will be in the bands of the Governor in a few days; and (jwesumably) will be given to the public, through the newspapers, by 11 is Excellency, withontkout delay. Until that is done the people must be contcnl to bide their time, by the exercise of whatever degree of patience they can command. No cue has any authority or right to say in advance what that the findings and recom mendations of the committee will be. But it is rafe to predict that an eager public will not be entirely dis aopointcd, and that, when printed, certain portions of the report will be found to contain some "highly entertaining" literature. However, I have received a tip to the effect that the document as a whole will not be filled quite as full of ' 'sen sations" as some evidently have anticipated. * » * A well informed gentleman who his recently returned (rom an ex tended trip through the rural sec tions cf Central and Eastern North Carolina mikes a very intestine j state-rent.

That unless the tide of emigration from the country to the cities is stemmed wry sooon the owners of farm lands vill be ruined —and the jails, work houses and penitentiaries, and lid! itself, will be overrun with former country negroes." "Again, they say ;hey are very tired of being taxed for the pri vilege of stripping tlitir own farms and labor—being required to fur nish the weapon, actually, with which their business is being ruined They demand a change , for the better (for the negroes themselves are uaturally ruined al so) and say this year they intend to send men from their respective com.ties to the h-gWature pleJgcd to to something along that line.

The farmers say this is ac counted for by the determination of that class not to ever again per form "hard work" if they possibly can live without doing so. Not so with the whilecountry boys- Hund reds and thousands of these who accepted work in cotton mills and some other minufactnring indus tries when cotton was so low that no money was to be nude in grav ing it, have returned to the farms this spring and are now hard at work. Simply because they can make more money on the fann, as long as cotton will fetch even 10 cents or more, althouth they hope to get 12 yi cents or more for tl: s [ year's crop But the farmers who conie to Raleigh tell mc that they have not seen or heard of any of the former negro farmers, or "croppers" or field hands n turning to the farms. And thare are plenty of them, too, that ought to do so. There arc at least over a thousand able-bodied country bred negroes in Raleigh to-day who could very materially better their condition by a return to life on th- farm.

It is a ralhcr striking fact that the greatest deception of the last eentnrv brought about one of the most (iaring forgeries. While the Tichborne caso was dragging its weary length the court was stagger ed one morning by the receipt of a letter purporting to be written by Sir Algernon West at the direction of Mr. Gladstone, his chief, to Lord Chief Justice Bovill. The letter set forth that the slow progress of the "Trial was a public scandal and that we could not fail to become a by word to all civilized nations. Mr. Gladstone, the letter ran on, added, "He is awaro thnt you are not in any sense responsible for a state of things which ia n blot upon our civil jurisprudence, but he thinks an early expression of your and per haps bis opinion, from flic high po sition you occupy, would tend to remedy a state of things which threatens to result in a virtual de nial of justice." Hallantinc used to iny of Bovil!, "With a little more experience l»o-' vili would be the worst iudce of the • bench." He believed the letter to be genuine and summoned his broth er judges to advise him how to act in such an unprecedented interfer ence with the ndminir.t ration of jus tice. Luckily one of his junior con temporaries had the wisdom to sug gest that the best course wr.v to fee if tho letter were really genuine be fore considering the grave constitu tional question involved. There upon they sent down to Sir Alger non. lie flew to Westminster. Of course, the thing was a monstrous forgerv, and he was in time to pre vent tlio precipitating of the thun derbolt that would inevitably have left the bench bad Bovill not been wifely counseled.
