Mr. P. Frank Alebane made the
State a proposition for a textile
schoole at Spray. lie would make a
lonation of $20,000 in lands and

cial message.
State News Notes.
Ashevillo is to have a dispensary
election April 0th, and the campaign
is already on. It will be warm
enough.
At McAdenvillo, X. C, near Char
lotte. Sunday morning, the sate of
the AIcAden Cotton Mills was robbed
of $1,S00 to $2,000.
The Legislature has renewed the
rural free library law, so as to allow
six new and six supplementary li
braries, the supplementary one to be
based upon those provided for and
establish two years ago, live hundred
of each being allowed. There are
now S0 libraries which the State has
aided and lit) sunnlementary ones,
the latter being basil upon the acts
of U01. Over 100 libraries were pri
vately established so that the number
is over 1.000 in all.
In 1003 $140,405.47, and in 1004
$170,08 1.150 were spent for building
and repairing school-houses, making
a total of '$310,570.80 for the .two
years for these purposes. The total
spent for these purposes during the
preceding two years was $145,751.S3,
showing an increase of $103,825.03.
In other words, the expenditures for
new school-houses and for improving
and enlarging old ones during the
past two years are more than double
those for the same purposes during
the preceding two years.
Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer:
The sales of commercial fertilizers
continues to fall off as compared
with last season at this time, showing
the very sharp reduction in the pro
posed acreage of cotton, though it
must be taken into account that the
weather, up to within a very few
days, has been so bad that farmers
could handle very little fertilizers.
The farmers are almost unanimous
in declaring that they will reduce
acreage. Those of them who are sell
ing cotton now are not the ones who
have signed the agreement or pledge
to hold. Poth the cotton dealers and
the farmers say these pledges arc be
in very well kept indeed.
