A petition is in circulation at

The Statesville Mascot of a
recent -date says "Mr.- J. A.
Wood, of Elkin, who recently
lost his mind was brought here
Monday night by officer J. J.
Wallace on his way to the Mor
ganton Hospital. Mr, Wallace
said that this man made the
pinth person who had gone to
the hospital from Elkin in the
last twelve months". We do not
believe Mr. Wallace ever said
the word attributed to him.
He might have said that nine
persons had been taken to the
asylum from the county but from
Elkin every one knows it is a
mistake. John Wood is the first
man that has ever been carried
to the asylum from this town in
pur knowledge. People from a
distance will be afraid to come
to Elkin for fear they would go
f razy, if the circumstances was
Jike it is reported! We hope the
Mascot wUl correct and all other
papers that copied it, Mr. Wal
lace is Dot evon a citizen of Elkin
but what he says is reliable and
that's why we don't believe what
js attribqtvd tq him.

Education, School Tax, Etc.
Little did wo think last fall
when the oluction was over and
the political dagger sheathed,
that ere the present year had ex
pired tho money hunters would
mount the "stump" and yell at
the tax payers to increase their
taxes, yet such is the case. And
now, since the quest ion of the ed
ucation' of tho children of our
State confronts us lets s:e who
will derive the greatest benefit
frpm th.e expenditure of the in
creased school fund wrenched
from the hard earnings of the
tax ravers of North Carolina.
Will it bo the school child, or
will it be tho school teacher V I
insist that it will be the latter,
Already we are paying about six
thousand dollars annually in tho
interest of free schools here in
Yadkin county, while the aver
age attendance of the school chil
drcn is less than ono-tnird.
Again, the free school system
has boon established in xsortn
Carolina more than half a centu
ry, yet more than fifty per cent,
of our people can't even read and
write. And yet said a young
professor tho other day, the
"leaders" are in favor of the tax
payers increasing their taxes,
claiming that it will promote the
cause of education in our State.
But we needn't be so astonished
at this when we find that a large
number of these so-called "lead
ers" ai-e teachers and officials
who expect to feast upon the
school fund, no difference if the
tax paver has to sacrifice his
home to pay his taxes and be
committed to jail (as the law is
now) because he couldn't pay
them at a certain time. And now,
since we are to decide this ques
tion of increased taxes in a very
short time, I would like for the
voter, who has an humble home
of his own to consider this ques
tion: "how would you like for
that home to bo sold to pay your
fiue and yourself thrust in prison
because you couldn't pay your
taxes (at a certain stipulated
time) on which to fatten these
"leaders," teachers and officials
while your children are not in
school, but at home, perhaps
crying for bread."'
in a recent interview with a
prominent citizen and teacher of
our county, he said : "that the
act, as passed by our last Legis
lature, in regard to increasing
the taxes for school purposes,
as nothing nor less than "class
legislation." (which is aboslutely
true) in that it gave the rich a
decided adantago ovei' the poor
in the distribution of the school
fund. He could then see other
objectionable features also; but
now he is such a strong advocate
of increasing the taxes that some
think he will stump a portion of
the county in favor of the samo.
Guess the old bitter pill has been
sugar coated."
If 1 were to express my views
in regard to a number of these
pretended patriotic leaders (ad
vocates of the special tax) I
should be compelled to say that
I fear greatly that they are much
more interested iu what they
hope to receive, personally, as a
result of the special tax (should
the people be blind enough to
ratify such a law) than they are
in the education of the poor chil
dren our country. Because ob
servation has shown to every one
that a large majority of the chil
dren of our State are deriving
little or no benefit from the mon
ey that is already being expend
ed in the interest of the free
schools; and yet. right in the
face of this sad state of affairs,
and in view of the fact that hun
dreds of homes are already being
sold for taxes, to demand of the
tax payers an increase of their
taxes would be unpatriotic and a
burden altogether intolerable,
especially under the present free
school sys'em. But you talk to
one of these "leaders" of a sys
tem something like this : "that
we have good comfortable school
buildings within a reasonable dis
tance of every child whether in
thickly or Sparsely settled dU
tricts, and then compel every
parent to send his children,
either to a free, or subscription
school a certain - number of
months in each year, and he will
"buck" worse than a "broncho"
when he is first '.'lassoed."
Just why these fellows kick"
so, at the idea of a compulsory
"sehool law I km not able to see
unless it is this; They know
very we'l that if the people are
compelled to send their children
to school that the children will
bo mere tho first day as well us
tho la.-t; they know Loo that it
would follow, as a natural conse
quence, tliat tho parents would
take more interest in looking
after the school and seeing that
tho teacher doesn't sit and nod
a good portion of his time with
not enough scholars to keek him
awake as is frequently the case
under tho present system. And
now in conclusion I would say
that we can't afford to neglect
the induction of our children,
and bowing in humble submis
sion to the command of selfish
men who would rednca us toser
vitude and slaxery by taxation in
order to accomplish their own
friendish designs are too separ
ate and distinch things. But if
the tax payers think their taxes
are too light, that they are not
paying enough lor the "pie" hun
ters of this country to feast as
they should why then just vote
on more. Perhaps when our
property has gone into the hands
of capitalists we will seo where
we are at.
