Intsresting Notes
From State Capital.
Kaleigh. N. C, Aug. 19, '03.
A successful manufacturer, who i in
terested in a large '.-number- of cotun
mills in the State, was in the office of
the Sute Superintendent ofTPublic It
struction a few days ago and requested
Superintendent. Joyner to recommend a
su'tiai le person toserititend thegiad
ed school recently establtsbed in, his
town. He said nif i factory interest
would psy about eiy ht per cent of the
taxes for the support of the school, but
experience had taught him that it is
cheaper 'to educate the children iDto
u-fuloe.-s than to pay their tines in the
pi.:ce courts. .He said, "as. a bu-mess
p jDO.-ition it costi-es to n(iviie
s(-m))'; t!,fir. !v euip'oy extra police and
pa.v i t-.f ' nnes.
In i i Jt ;-iot --in Huidolph, county
where un : - Mori for schools was pend
ing, the opo-.:i n ss.j proached out-
lionest oiti imiet m; worked nibt
and day to kt . r. botty and soul toyet.her,
ana asic him it he intended to vote for
the tax, asking him at the same time
Low could be afford to pay an extra tax
when he could barely suport his fami
ly. His reply was that be certainly in
tended to vote for school: "for," said
be, "if such an opportunity, had been
iven me when I was a boy, I would not
now be doinw the. word of a negro, and
my family would be better."
A campaign for better education has
just been completed in Lincoln county.
Superintendent Heafner has shown
mucb wisdom in arranging bis rallies
by townships and especially In organiz
ing the school officers and in preparing
the way for the speakers. Immense
crowds leathered at all the appointments
except at one place where there was a
misunderstanding as to the date; and in
meeting clofeed, the people came to
gether and signed a petition asking for
an electron. When the matter was
presented to them tbey were readily
convinced ihaxitisthe.il uty. ofiJie,com-1
munity to provide for the education of
all the children in the community.
Prof. J no.' E. Hay, who has just re
turned to Raleigh after a two weeks
educational campaign, says he has
never seen the people so easily aroused
oh any' other .question as that of the
duty of the community to provide for
the education of all the children of the
unity.
TbiseOijiiSiasm is not confaned to

ing counti have carried elections lor

The Watausra Democrat jof this week

"vvausiaw" piinu tiger ner uiowiuc
Rock, on Tuesday lat. Although a full
account of the public operation of this
mountain saloon was published iu the
News and Observer two weeks ago, no
effort whatever, it seema, was made by th
ocal authorities to surpress it. The Dem
ocrat of this week published tbe News and
Observer article in full, arid seemed to
think that the United States revenue officers J
were the otu at.XauU for.AflMi
arre9t, ' apparently oblivious of the, fac
lhat under the; VVatts Law, it became the
duty of the State and county authoiilies
t enforce the law. Uufortnnately for the
blind tiger, it seems that the publication
was made just prior to ths holding of Wa
tauga Superior court by that scourge f
iw breakers. Judge Shaw. As poon as
le retched Boone he inquired if the fact
related iu the papers could possible be
true. He found them to be not only true,
but that the names of the men ruani ng the
tiger were well knowu. i
He immediately issued a bench warrant
or the arrtst of Joe Crump and Miles
Towusend. Three deputy sheriffs aud a
UBited States niarsball proceeded to the
placed desired dropped a quarter in the
drawer of the fortress, pulled out a pint
bottle of liquor and then proceeeed to pul
the proprietor. j
These were Joe Crump of Caldwell and
Miles Townsend of Skull's Mills.' A gov
ernment license in tbe name of Rube ! Li v-
ingstoue was tacked to one of ithe walls
inside the fortress. Soon aftr the arrest
of these men & team entered Boone: halted
at the jail. Livingstone alighted "and
asked to see the prisoners, i The repuest
was granted and more than ' a hundred
dollars in cash was paid into ibis hand by
them, which was, of course, taken at the
tiger." Livingstone left town under
whip, but a warreot was soon issued, and
be was overtaken near Dr. Little's, on New
River. Here he, sprang from nis wagon
and rau for all .that was iu him. He was
soon overtaken however, and is now in

Raleigh, Aug. PJ. A.mong the callers

frien as' "our next Governor," and
smiled at the compliment. He is, of
course, in the race for the governor
ship, though, modest gentlemen that he
is, he Is a trifle skittish about admitting
the fact. There may bo more thau a
dozeq aspirants' for the office. If there
is not a live. v time at the next State

signs will fall badly. ,
To-day the State Auditor received
from the corporation commission the
certified assessments of the properties
of tbe railways and other common car
ries, aggregating some $74,000,000!
The Auditor at once posted these as
sessments along to the State Treasurer,
who will proceed to collect the taxes
the taxes thereon. There are no signs
of iiuits or injunctions to restrain the
collection of the taxes on the new assess
ments, nor is it believed by the officials
thatjthere will be any trouble along
that'line.
State Superintendent Joyner is advis
ed that the town of Jonesville, Yankin
county, has voted in favor of a local
tax for its public schools.
That was a pretty story about Dew
ey's stealings from .the bank at New
bern, to the effect that the directors
bad secured $25,000 to "strengthen the
bank,'' and that Dewey had coolly
"swiped" this also. It is a pity to have
to deny this story, it laeuch a good one,
but a bauk man here - tells me that the
$20,000 which the direction procured
was safe when Dewey left. He says he
has positive information as to this.

Recently 'Mr. H. E. Raveuel, chair

Chamber of Commerce, wrote to Presi
dent Spencer, of the Southern railway
n reference to the Melrose grade, and
the many accidents and injuries, losses
of life and destruction of property that
are traceable over the system t that
point. The letter embraced some
sensible, practical suggestions as to a
remedy, and urged the immediate ac-
t y
tion of the company in regard to elimi
nating from their system such a ; dan
gerous menace to life and property.
Mr! Ravenel has received the follow
