The old three "R" system became so stale ami dull that some thing had to be added to catch the schools up with the times.

While there is a general"" acknowl edgment on the part of everybody, the banker, the merchant, the manu facturer; in fact, by practically every other business or profession; that the farmer has been imposed on in the vusiness affairs of the country for | several years to such an extent that unless something is done to restore ' the farming business to a more even basis with the other affairs of the j country, no man of ambition will be j The Biennial Weeping of the Wealthy The wealthy ure now hanging a round the legislature celebrating their great "Biennial weep."

No game should ever go far enough J to tight to win; nor should those who foster and support a game rejoice at any unfair thing, because sport ceases u> be sport when it breaks the rules t> win. Vet we find most of our faults in our enthusiasm, which makes us regard our opponents as our enemies. willing to enter that busineas. No one .seems to know just what > effect the legislation will have on prices of farm products. But if it will give some reasonable assurance of operations with a small profit, it will greatly bless that large division of our population engaged in agricul ture. The only thing that will give the farmer permanent relief is to edu cate him as well as the banker, the merchant, the manufacturer. Then he will not stand for being imposed or by others, but will take care of himself and his business. water, the Carolina Power, and the J Southern Power companies have all! grown very rich under our State laws: they still come down to the general assembly with the same old song, "We Can't Stand So Much Taxes." It is refreshing to look over the, lint of dividends paid by most of the* rich concerns of North Carolina, and also to notice the high prices which the stock is bringing on the market. If we could get down to the truth of our hearts, the rich are about like the poor; they don't want to pay taxes, and so they go to Raleigh- and do their "cussing" directly to the legislature? while the laborer arid the farmer does his at home. Perhaps fjfp rich, who have many able pleaders before the lawmakers, think "cussing" is more profitable while the tax laws are being written than while they are being executed. Then, our rich people are always threatening to pull up and leave the State; but if they do not decide to take the soil and climate with them | the Old North State will get along, j It really sounds childish to hear i wealth that has been gathered from the people crying because it is called upon to support and help the people. We doubt the sincerity of some of the things that are being said. It certainly seems that our taxes have not hurt our manufacturers so far, when We can look over the furni ture business of the United States am' fird that North Carolina manufact and more than four times as much an tax-freiiNeW Jersey, and' more than seventy-five times as much as tax-free Florida last year; and that we manufactured more furniture than all the southern States combined, from Ohio to' the Rio Grande River, except Virginia; and wc lead Virginia more than 4 to 1. -It looks as if our tax rate suits the furniture folks fine.
