seven townships out of the 1,300
voted for loeal aid to public schools,
the people really cast a favorable

he thought interest in educational
matters was increasing in the State.
He replied that he feels sure of it;
that there are more educational
meetings and more teachers' asso-oiations

RAI.KIOII, Sept '12.—Manager
Stanuard of the North Carolina
Frtigh Association today appeared
before the railway commission and
asked a reduction of rates on cotton
in North Carolina. He received a
considerable one. The commission
issued the following order:
"Having fully examined the rates
wc find them lower than in any
state save Georgia, and as low as
in that, but that the rates are not
uniform on the diirercnt systems
and hence it is ordered that the
rates be on 100 pounds i» cents for
Id miles, II for 25, 19 for 50, 23
for 7.",, 25 for 100, 30 for 150, 35
for 200. These rates apply to main
lines and branches alike and go in-to
eliccl October 10th.
New rates on cotton as made by
the railway commission are lower
on all the Southern's divisions save
the North Carolina Railway, on all
of the Coast Line system and the
Cape Fear >V- Yadkin Valley and all
of the Seaboard Air Line, save the
Raleigh and Guston division, where
there is little increase.

THE NEW VARIETY OF COTTON.
The Plant Has No Limbs and the
Seed Bell for $200 Per Bushel.
The famous Jackson limbless
cotton has assumed a national im-portance.
Yesterday the United
States Secretary of Agriculture
telegraphed to Weather and Crop
Official Marbury, at this place, to
go out to the Jackson farm and
make a thorough and exhaustive
examination of the plant, and then
report to the government offlci .1 at
Washington.
Mr. Marbury at once went, out to
the farm near the barracks, where'
the wonderful cotton is growing,
and through the kindness of Mr.
Jackson was enabled to go thtough
the six acres of magnificent cotton.
He spent quite a while at the place
and looked over all the field. Af-ter
making his examination he was
allowed to bring some of the cot-ton
to town with him to include
with his report.
Mr. Marbury was en
over the limbless cotton. He said
that it was the finest crop of cot-ton
he had ever seen. He said
that some of the cotton was so tall
that it could hardly be reached
with an umbrella. The plant is
thickly studded all the way up with
large bolls, and the lowest estimate
is that the six acres will yield four
bales to the acre.
The weather official will make a
very full report on the condition
and the prospects of the cotton,
and will enter into its probable
commercial value. He will give
as full and complete a report on
the subject as could be desired,
and when the report is filed the
government will then be in a posi-tion
to act as it may consider
proper.
That the government officials lire
evincing considerable interest in
the remarkable cotton is not u sur-prise.
It is an entirely new va-riety
of cotton, and is the best
species that has been grown in this
country. The government will
probably buy up large quantities
of the seed and distribute them
among the agricultural classes, so
us to insure a wide distribution
and a spread of the new variety.
The seed retail at $200 per bushel,
and the present owners of the six
acros at Jackson's farm have been
offered $25,000 for the product ol
the field. The cotton does not
have a limb on the stalk, and has
many advantages not possessed by
other varieties.
Mr. Marbury will file his report
in a few days and the government
will probably take early action in
order to secure the seed that is
now being grown—Atlanta Con
stitution.

Ayoook Re-Appointed United States
District Attorney.
The appointment of United
States district attorney for the
eastern district of North Carolina
has gone over indefinitely.
The Washington correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch savs in
Wednesday's paper: "The Presi-dent
today re-appointed Mr. Ay-cock,
the Democratic incumbent.
Stubborn and apparently success-ful
opposition will be made against
Mr. Cook's appointment, notwith-standing
Senator l'ritchard's en-dorsement.
Assistant Attorney
General Boyd, it is understood, is
opposing Mr. Cook's appointment,
and the postponement of action
and the ad interim xppointment of
District Attorney Avcoek is in
deference to his wishes.
"A voluminous record has been
tiled against Cook, and the proba-bilities
are that no change will be
made in the office until after Con
gress meets, in December.
"A prominent Republican olll
cial says that Cook's appointment,
under the circumstances, is almost
an impossibility. The Attorney
General, it is said, sustains Colonel
Boyd in bis opposition to Cook.
Mr. Ayeoek has made a fine record
as district attorney."
Coining Silver Dollars
I'nder orders from the Treasury
Department the coinage of standard
silver dollars have been resumed at
all the mints. This coinage wa=
suspended during the summer in
order to enable the government to
increase its stock of subsidiary and
minor coins. The demand for such
coins was large and promised to in-crease
for the fall trade, and the
mint authorities directed all their
energies to securing a supply sulli-cient
to mget the demand. This
has been accomplished and the
coinage of silver dollars has been
resumed. The eo;nage of subsidi-ary
coins will be continued on a
reduced scale.
Director Preston said that there
was no further significance in the
action of the department. It is
estimated that the coinage of silver
dollars this month will amount to a
million dollars.

RALEIGH, N. C, September 23.—
I.ate this afternoon Governor Russell
sent the following letter to Chairman
.las. W. Wilson, of the Railway Com-mission
:
"Take notice 'bat alter due investi-gation
and consideration I am con-vinced
you have violated the Railway
t'ommission law in some of the parti-culars

do hereby suspend you from the office
of liatlway Commissioner and chair-man
of said commissioners, such sus-
|iension lo continue umil the question

tocether witfi reasons there-for

reported to the next Legislature.

"You will further lake notice that

and dimes imposed upon ihe Chief
Executive. I hue appointed I.. C.
Caldwell.ol Iredell.to till tho vacancy

-is you are understood to deny the

have requested Mr. Caldwell to make
demand on you ior possession of ihe

MR. WILSON sr.l'KSPFP. Too.
A letter similar lo this was sent
Commissioner Otho Wilson, inform.ng
him of his suspension and ol the HI
pointm. nt of John H. Pearson,ol Mor-gan
ton.
The latter is a Pemocrat and a mem-ber
of the Legislature. At its lasi ses-sion

ter now goes into the courts, the pres-en'
commissioners, J W. Wilson,Otho
Wilson, and Dr. D. II. Abbott, mean-while
continuing m office.
Banking Reform and the South
Tin need of a reform of th" na
tional banking system in the di-rection
of greater elasticity of issue
is suggested by the heavy with-drawal
of funds from New York to
move the cotton crop. If the banks
in the eight cotton states could
issue additional currency "> the
extent of one-fourth of their capi-tal
stock of (38 000,000, they could
themselves supply $9,500,000 of
the sum they lire in the habit of
borrowing from New York annual-ly
lo move the cotton crop. Fig-ures
put forth by Mr. Coffin, dep
uty controller of the currency,
show that annually in September
or October the banks of the cotton
states borrow tie much as $11,000,-
000. In February, IN.Hi, for ex-ample,
they borrowed $4 000.000,
but in October, 1896, they bad bor-rowed
$11,098,000. The contrast
between the off and the busy sea-son
is usually ever greater than
this. The South, as much as any
section, is interested in devising
bank reforms which permit expan-sion
of note issues when occasion
requires.
Two Lepers in North Dakota.
Colored Postmasters.
In commenting on the recent
shooting of a colored postmaster in
Georgia the New York Press says
that all colored officials in the South
should arm themselves to the teeth.
" i'hey should.'' the Press add', "be
provided vnith a personal means of
safety precisely as if their dutie"
took them among red or y< How r
brown, instead of white savages;!
just as if they were mail carriers
on the plains or signal men in the
Afghan passes." The New York;
Kvening Post suggests i better way
of preventing such outrages. "A
postmaster," says Ihe Post, "is
really a man appointed to serve the
COi vi nienee of the community, and I
he ought to be a man liked by thai
community, precisely as a clergy-1
man ought to be liked by the church
over which he presides. It is a
roiesque idea that the government
should entrust one of its poetoffioee
at liie North to some worthless-white
man because lie votes with
the Democratic party when that
party is in power, and another at
the south to a negro, who is dis-liked
by the patrons of the office,
because be supported the election
of a Republican President. It was
a barbarous thing to shoot the
negro postmaster in Georgia, but it
is an uncivilized system under
which postmasters are appointed at
Washington whom people feel in-clined
to shoot."
The whole trouble comes ftom the
practice of bartering away public
office in patment of the political
debts of individuals. If it is d« i ID
ed essential to appoint colored nun
to postnllices there is a way il can
be done without making trouble or
giving o lie nee. 'I'here is nol a Slat-in
the North which has not well-educated
negroes, far better quali-fied
'o holi! office than those of the
South, who, perhaps, have not en
j lyed tin- same educational advanl
ages. Let the President appoint
these men to posti [flees in the
Northern States, where such ap
pointments would not excite race
prejudices—which, we prerume, do
not exist in the North—Baltimore
