J ' - We challenge the Enterprise, t m (he official organ of the Court-. $ House Jttngnwttheelaim tpeeu. - fator o A county, to point out Aflw mads a mig-etaUment of j facte, or have mie-quoted the m recordeothe county. ,: MATTERS EDUCATIONAL Conspicuous among the most notable features of this new cen tury which is yet only a yearling, may be mentioned the) educational uplift that it is bringing. . For years 'he leaders in though ts and statecraft (Jnthis commonwealth have recognised illiteracy as one of the chief obs'acles to the highest progress tad attainment of the best results to, citizenship. Tbe trend of legislation for a decade has been along this line and with the spirit of our ancestors who founded the first University in the south and one amongst tbe first in the coun try, the steady aim of the law. making power bus been to open more schools, keep them open looser and provide them with bet ter teachers and equipments. One fifth of a million dollars mote was appropriated bf the last General Assembly for tbe purpose of public schools than ever before. The pres ent administration of the slate is committed to the idea of enlarged educational advantages for all I'he late constitutional amendment has accentuated the necessity of the pnblio school and it if believed has bad the effect to. increase at tendance, - The idea that after 1908 no citixen then coming of age can vote unless he can read, will spur parents to send, and children to go to school, but it must be under stood that the provisions of this law are such as that no white man uow of age, or attaining his major ity prior to that date, will be dis franchised by reason of his inabil. ity to red. , The great steps forward that Madison county is' making in the matter of public schools are note worthy and gratifying . .There is an earnest, determined, intelligent spirit manifested by tbe eitisens of the county, indicating a resolution to measure up to the responsibili ties thrust upon them by these new modem dsys, and tail seems to be tbe ease regardless ot political creeds. The fact of enlarged at tendance at the public schools, as shown by the records of the Coun ty Superintendent James,is a mat- her of oongrtuUtioa and is fioe prophecy f-r the future. The pro portion of attendance has been for the year now . c!oiiig, 8 per ct higher tbn iu Biuioumbe county, which in mauy respects leads the public schools of the elate. Another thing well worthy of mention 's that the average length of schools daring this scholastic year has been four - and a half months a longer term than aver before known in the history of the oounty. Some schools will have continued for 8 months and none less than 8, and uuder tbe law now in force none can be lor less than four months. Tbe proficiency and fitness of the teachers are features that mark the excellence of the management of this county's public schools. ' They have gone to work not only with riper scholarship and equipped with modern progressive ideas, but havs entered upon their duties with score elevated ideals and tbe most modern methods that are. known to the echool room.- The county is not adraccif g more rapidly in any otiser reject than in the qual- i y a 2 3 amount ct wc:j c.rec'.JJ Ltcrs on tbe rtrt cf tne leader cf ir fJ-'.-3 acheo'i. IADISDH COUin WUESTIONS'VHANSWERED, Will the Enterprise, the official argan of the Court House Ring and the claim speculators of the coun tyV (commonly: know n as Little Ananias) please answer the follow inctquestions, all of which have been' asked several times before but'bavenever been answered? Fr-Why do not the GIANT commissioners require' the county officers to make their iteraisd and' verified annual reports as ' required by sections 728 of the ,Code and section 93 of chapter 7 of the public lafws of 1901? &conwWhydonot the GIANT Commissioners" require the Sheriff to file $ yerified state ment of tbe laaney on hand on the first Monday in every month as required by Chapter 7, Section 98 of tbe Acts of 1901? "V Sad Kaflserrlce : Bnckner, N. C, January 13, 1902 Hello 1 Record: Have you gone into winter quarters? There has not been a copy of the Record re eeived at Buckner P. O. since - the 20th day of December, and we are getting very anxious to hear from you and to know what the Court House Ring is doing. If you have on hand, a copy of issues of January 8rd and 10th, please rend me a copy of esch number. W. L. Hinbliy. We have mailed the papers each week except Deo. 27tb. and there was no paper printed"1 that week. There is something wrong with the mails; we are receiving other com- plaiats. We request the post mas ters throughout the county to be sure that each and every subscriber get their papers promptly and avoid the necessity of a complaint to the department 8ckaei ass Icbiwtn. The newspspers over the state have had good deal to say about tbe famous Cherry Tree swindle at Henrietta, N. C. But there has been little said about the hundred and one other just such schemes, with slight changes, to try to evade the law. and one would have to screw up their conscience very tight to tnr to call any such thing a legitimate business. In the Cherry Tree Co., you got a small sprout of some kind for a dollar; the Stereoscopic Co., gave you a 20 cent stereoscope for a dol lar another gives you a 20 cent coffee pot for a dollar; and another a 10 cent bottle of medicine for a dollar and numerous other such schemes. Let them alone one and alL On January 1st. Mr. W. P. Jer- visof the Enterprise, succeeded R. F. ox, as deputy revenue col lector, Mr. Fox being put on the re tired list without pay. This puts both the editors and "proprietors of the Enterprise, M easts. R. B. Sams and W. P. Jerris, in the revenue business. According to Joe. Dan iels' definition, the Enterpnee will now be a "doodle organ in con nection with . being, a Court Honas Ring and claim speculator advo- cat.' ' .. :?':: His current rumor about the town that the Board of Education contracted to sell tbe publio echool property of Marshall district at their meeting the first of thia week. We haye been unable to flod any record made by the Board regard ing the transaction and Prof. James informs us that the Board took no action in opea session regarding such sale and that he as refused to sign the deed as made by the members of the. Board for the reason that the school committee ef the district and the patrons of tbe school had protested sgainst the sale. We are arable to under stand what' interest the Board, of Creation had in - attempting to make sale ot the pioperty when the ratroae of the district. Prof. James who? home is here, and the school com Dsittee. cf ths district were all Cffoeei making any disposition of tbt property until they had an op portunity to. pr&nre other proper ty as desirable as the property to bo disposed of.

Cyrus B Watson, of Forsyth oounty. A number of sterling Democrats and excellent gentlemen have per mitted their names to bo mention ed as candidate for thia exalted position. We have no quarrel with them. We declare unequivocally for Mr. Fateon because we believe he is the most guileless able man in North Carolina, aud that no- man living could so nearly satisfy the constituency of the immortal Vaiee. He has eminently thoee- virtues which are so rarer in the publio men of the day. A- self made man, familiar with the wants and needs of the masses, a friend to the poor and jnst to the- rich. Mr. Watson has in him the ele ments that constitute the . great commoner, the true, conservative statesman.' Our industrial and commercial rights so prone to be mvsded at this day aud time by combination of capital would not auffer if such watchdogs guard ed the walls. No man would stand firmer against the blandishment of the corporations, or the sedud- tinns of the "community of inter est." We do nt believe the gold of the oppressive and uneonsoion- -able trusts would ever bribe hit honest convictions, nor enlist his talent against hia own teorle.
