Teachers, Welcome!
The summer school is now in
session and there is a large atten
dance of Martin County teachers.
To these noble and faithful workers
in the cause of education
a most lieartv welcome.
There should l>e nothing too good
for the man or woman who devotes
time and talents to this great work,
the sacrifices are all made by the
teachers, they are poorly paid and
in most cases not appreciated.
Their's is a hard lot —misunder-
stood, belittled and Criticised.
f — mike the three week's stay
of these sacrificing people the most
pleasant of their lives. Make them
feel that they are appreciated.
Teachers, we welcome you to this
little city, and hope that you may
be able to speak in the highest
praise of it and Its citizens when
the summer school is over and you
return to your respective homes.
It probably will lie a wholesome
for a number of northern
philanthropists engaged 111 eleva
ting the colored race at long range
to read the speech of Bishop Tur
ner of the African Methodist Epis
copal Church, made in New York
last week. Among a number of
other things he said was the rematk
he had no use for America, despis
ed tbe American flag, and wished
all the negroes would emigrate
from a country wherethey are so ill
treated as in the United States, li
seems that such a remark ctynes
very near branding as an undesira
ble citizen a man who never ought
to have been made a citizen in the
first place. The last section of lib
remark, * howevei; is one with
which most people in the Uniteu
States can agree. If Bishop Tur
uer can only find some countr>
that will accept him and bis fellows
of like sentiments as residents, the
rest of the country will watch with
out a single regret the spectacle ol
the Bishop as an ebon Moses lead
ing his following into the new'
Canari. The only real regret is
that while lie will continue to rant
aud orate, he will never carry out
his threat to emigrate. Such viewy
as he has voiced are the worst pos
sible training for the other mem
bers ot his race to hear. And
they do not offer much encourage
ment to the white population tc
continue staggeiing along with the
White Mau's burden.
«It is not very encouraging newt
that iji handed out to the public b>
the Geological Survey this week
announces that tin
anthractie coal supply of the coun
try is only good for-75 more years.
Of course this will not effect thi
most of us very much as at the end
of time we will be either where we
wont need coal or where we will
have more than we want. But
the prospect Is not cheering for fu
ture generations. The calcula
tion has beoji made on the basis ol
the known coal supply of the coun
try tbe present annual consttmp
tiou and the normal growth of thi
population. It is further slated
that there is no prospect of an
thracite ever being auv cheapei
than it is at present a piece ot
gratuitous information on which
the Coal Trust had the Geological
Survey several years ago. But
hope is held out in the fact that
there is enough soft coal to last fo>
several generations more, and Uns
ought to be good news for tht
south as much of it is iu the south

Roosevelt Dangerous.
In a speech before the Maryland
State Bar Association last week,
Mr. John S. Wise, an eminent
Republican lawyer now living in
New York, denounced Roosevelt's
doctrines as dangerous and huitful.
Quoted by a reporter, Mr. Wise
said:
"I consider President Roosevelt
a dangei ous element in American
politics because I belive he is both
sincere and respectable, and bis
doctrine is utterly subversive of the
idea of State sovereignty and limit
ed- Fedt ral power. He does not
realize that Federal power ia no
more than that which was delegat
ed. He is constantly striving
against the limitations cf Federal
power, without which at least two

oiina atuTHfroode Island —would
never luve come into it. Tht
Supreme Court has rebuked tne
Roosevelt idea within the last
month in the Kansas-Colorado case
It is ou that point that I take issue
with RooseveltT"™
North Carolina refused the bait
of Federal offices and its natural
desire to help organize the Republic
until it had what it regarded as
permanent limitations upon the
Federal power. If it had believed
that an hundred years later a Fed
eral Judge would suspend for 0
month or a day or for yCiirs a stat
Ute of the General Assembly it
would hive demanded a specific
guarautee against that species of
usurpation before it would have
joined the Union of State. Mr.
Wise is right. The Roosevelt de
sire to m ike the State mere col
onies is dangerous and subversive
of the spirit of our Republic.—

The board of equalization of

hearing complaints of property
owners on account of alleged over
assessment by the tax assessors ap
pointed to assess property for a

ed value of Buncombe real estate
this year has been considerably in
creased and there are many com
plaints before the eqttlization board
Among the complainants who will
appear will -be George W. Vauder

During the past four years the
assessed value of Vanderbilt'a hold
ing in Buncombe has been placed
at above one and one-half million
dollars. The this year
raised the assessment to over two
million dollars. At thfc time the
assessment was made formal notice
of protest was given the assessors.
Vanderbilt last year paid to Bun
combe's tax collector in State aud
county taxes between fifteen and
sixteen thousand dollars. If the
new assessment stands he will pay
this year over twenty thousand
dollars.

Will not Call Extra Scoion
There haa never been any idea
on the part of Governor Glenn to
at present call an extra session of
the Legislature to have anything
to do with making any change in
the rates for passenger fares and
freights made by the General As
sembly of 1907, and the story that
he thought of doing so, sent out
from AsheviHe, amounts to noth
ing.
Governor Glenn was in bis office
yesterday after being in Western
North Carolina some time on a "va
cation" for rest and recreation aud
being asked about the matter spoke
emphatically .saying:
"If the railroads had given the
rate made by the General Assem
bly a fair trial, and tbenconlJ have
made it appear to me or to the
North Carolina Corporation Com
mission they could not operate un
der it without a confiscation of
their property; knowing the Jus
tice of the people of North Caroli
na, I would not have hesitated to
have called - the Legislaturetdgetb
cr to provide a remedy.
after the legislature had
liixed a rate based upon the sworn
returns of the railroads, which rate
seemed reasonable and just, and
the railroads saw fit to go into the
courts to enjoin the State before
giving the new law a fair trial I
feel that thinly thing left to do
is to fight the case to the finish to
determine the great legal question
whether or not a railroad by the in
junction of the Federal court can
set at naught the will oi the peo
ple of n sovereign State as express
ed through its Legislature.
"I have therefore authorized the
Corporation Commission, regard
less of cost, to fight the case to the
finish, l>elieving as I do that the
State will ultimately win."—News

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown—where the
best tobacco grows—in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynold's brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing *
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along—one chewer makes other
chewers —until the fact is now es
tablished that there are many more

chewers and pounds of
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not"
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
pries; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's the real snappy, stim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to
bacco lovers. All imitations con
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS. _ .J
