over a bone. I am unable to say what
tho effect of the speech will be on
North Carolina, but by many of the
thoughtful peoplo of tho south Mr.
Taft's suggestions were heartily ap
proved. I do not think It will have
any lasting Influence, however. Talk
Is cheap and It will requlro more than
a speech to change tho political lines
of the south."
At this point Senator McLaurln
drifted from politics to cotton.
"The south," ho said, "has just had
six years of tho geartest prosperity anil
I manufacturing development that it Ins
ever experienced. Wo have received
such largo prices for our cotton In
the last four years that it has put
the entire south in excellent shape.
Our greatest trouble now Is tho scar
city of labor. Tho situation has really
become acute, especially on tho farms.
There has been so much railroad
building, saw mill construction and
other enterprises of this sort that the
larger wages paid by them have strip
ped the plantation of hands. Wo did
not feel this shortago of labor so much
last year as tho seasons wero favor
able to tho cultivation of crops.. But
this year wo have had excessive rains
and tho crops nro very grassy. In
some sections it has been found impos
sible to cultivate tho acreage put in
to cotton. I havo just been through
North and South Carolina and I do
not remember in eighteen or twenty
years to havo seen tho crops In such
bad condition, as they aro now. It is
chlofly duo to tho lack of labor. It
looks very much to mo as If wo had
i reached that point where In order
to continue .to develop wo must have
m some other sourco of labor. If wo
could get Italian labor it would bo
tho best, but in order to get it wo
would certainly havo to receive a
larger price than wo aro now getting
for our cotton. Wo would havo to pay
Italian labor $1.50 a day and tho price
of cotton would not permit this."

THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE
TIPSTER.
Tho Tribune and Herald always go
out of their way to tako a slap at the
public schools and in doing so utterly
ignore facts. There Is to bo a school
A electlor in December next. Fiyo mom-
r bers r tire, Mr. Cummings of tho First
precinct: Mr. Chcesman of tho Second
Mr Nowman of tho Third, Mr. Ellcr-
heck of tho Fourth and Mr. Henderson
of tho Fifth, which partly accounts
' for tho recent newspaper attack on tho
Board of Education. True it is a llt-
i tlo early to begin manufacturing son-
j
tlmcnt but there's nothing like being
in time.
Tho charges of extravaganco or
rather contemplated extravaganco
which tho Tribune and Herald made
ngalnst the board are absurd In the
extreme, based on misstatements and
exparto statements of tho board's est!
mato of tho amount of money which
will bo required to run tho schools
tho coming year. The articles in those
papers show either willful misrepre
sentation or dense Ignorance. The
fact Is that tho schools aro managed
with rigid economy, great skill and
without even a suspicion of graft.
Sometimes newspapers aro deceived,
other times they willfully allow them
selves to bo deceived (?). In tho pres
ent Instance the latter Is tho case.
Tho former clerk of tho board of edu
cation who has never gotten over be
ing removed for causo, several causes
in fact, which have never yet been
published, is ever on tho alert in a
sneaking way to bring discredit on
tho board of education and tho schools.
It is well known from where tho news
papers get their "tips" regarding tho
board of education. Some of them
want thoso kind of "tips" although
they know their falsity and tho malice
behind them. Ordinary common sense
dictates that it would bo wise for a
tipster so vulnerablo to maintain a
discreet silence lest forbearanco cease
to bo a virtue.
TRUTHS.
Chief Justice Bartch tendered his
resignation to Governor Cutler to take
effect on October 1st, and the governor
accepted it with great haste. Ac
cording to the Tribune there is weep
ing and wailing among tho members
of the bar, nobody outsldo the Tribune,
however, has heard the lamentations.
Just why Justice Bartch should place
his resignation earlier than December
31 Is a mystery which may be cleared
up later. It may also bo that some
urgent necessity may arise for tho
judge to remain on tho bench for three
months after October 1. It may also
bo that tho judge didn't expect that
tho governor would have accepted his
resignation so promptly. That Mr.
Bartch would voluntarily relinquish
$420 a month against a prospective in
come of nothing requires an explana
tion. If Justice Bartch really does step
down and out on October 1, it will fall
to Governor Cutler to appoint some
ono to fill out Mr. Bartch's unexpired
term of three months. Tho Republi
can stato convention will doubtless be
held before October 1 and It Is not un
likely that tho governor's appointee
would be the nominee of tho convention.
It's a good thing for tho peoplo of
this city that Dr. Stowart, the health
commissioner, has an assistant. If
ho hadn't his presence in tho capacity
ho nominally occupies would bo a
menaco to all tho people. Why ho was
appointed and what his pull is some
peoplo know. His utter inefficiency
and absolute indifferenco to duty a
great many peoplo know
Russell Sago is dead. Where ho has
gone and how ho fares nobody knows
and nobody cares.

It Is understood that Julian Itlloy
has been appointed sacond deputy
United States marshal by Marshal
Spry In lieu of Deputy Page. Mr. R'
loy will tako office probably about Aug
1. Julian Is a lifelong and consistent
Republican and thoroughly rollablo In
overy respect.
Tho majority members of tho
finance committee of tho city council
havo agreed to increase tho tax levy
for next year from 11 to 12 mills, and
no doubt tho council on Monday ovon
lng will approve that decision. Tho
contingent fund levy is raised from
iy to 5 mills, the limit allowed by tho
law. Tho water fund levy is raised
from three-quarters of a mill to 1A
mills, and tho sower fund levy Is ro
duced one-quarter of a mill, tho library
fund and tho street lund levies re
main tho samo as last year, one-quarter
mill and 5 mills, respectively. Thlj
makes a net advance of ono mill. Tho
causo for tho Increase is tho extrava
gance of tho present administration.
Tho advanco in tho levy will produce
about $40,000 moro revenue, but that
will not bo nearly sufficient to moot
expenses at tho present rate of ex
penditures. Tho contingent fund is
now about $100,000 overdrawn, and in
a year lrom now tho city will bo much
more largely In debt.
