The modern newspaper is a
totally different institution. It
must not only furnish everything
that the planter desires, but it
must furnish specific information
about the progress of all sorts of
business and manufacturing

and others, not only want
to know it, they want to
know to whom to apply to sell
their wares and make contracts.
Therefore the good newspaper
become an important adjunct of
the business of the lumber man,
the brick man. the carpenter and
others. For the merchant it
must tell where new goods are
made, where a good supply of
and other fruits can be ob-

Men have most of the principal-

best of the women, but simply
because the salaries are higher,

better paid positions. In high

many men still. Some schools
pay the men more than they
pay equally capable women for
the same work, and thereby
maintain a fair balance for men
and women. If the standard is
high enough to attract men, the
women arc gradually displaced.
If it is lower, the men are dis-
placed. For in
any sort of work which women
can do, can be had at wages
which equally capable men will

to be served by th school and
also in the center of all the eight
towns competing for the school.

The delegation from Pitt which

Thursday night and a reporter
asked Governor Jarvis to give us
his impression of the day's work
before the board and the
outcome of it. In response
to this inquiry Governor Jarvis
Eight splendid towns
by splendid delegations
appeared before the State Board
of It was a
contest between these towns
conducted on a high plain
Among the delegation there
were preachers, teachers, law-
doctors, bankers, judges,
business men, farmers, and la-
borers. It is rare that a more
splendid set of men ever met in
Raleigh in the interest of any
cause. There were more men
there capable and in every way
fit for any position, however high
and important While the
delegations were earnest
in the presentation of the claims
of their communities, still the
best of feelings prevailed and
there was manifest among them
all a determination to
make the school wherever lo-
a greet institution.

test as this is a great victory and
one which every citizen of the
county should be proud of. It is
true the State Board of

OVER THE HILLS.
By Mrs. W. G. Williams.
Over the hills the daisies white
Where the birds sing low and sweet,
Where falls the shadows of the night
And blue skies with the waters
meet.
Over the hills the stars are shining.
To light the earth below
And far away in the distance
The fairy-winds blow.
Over the hills in dreamland roam
And all the world is mine,
Where in the silent gleaming
I worship at Nature's shrine.
North Carolina and the Railroads
The North Carolina business
men do not simply want to know
North Carolina is
against in freight rates,
but they want a stop put to it. It
is results and not talk they are
after. When goods are hauled
through the State to a point be-
for less than the rate would
have been to stop them in the
State, there is good ground for a
kick North Carolina wants her
rights. She needs every cent of
money, f r education, for
ion and for industrial advance-
and it is but right that our
people should seek to get justice
for the old North State in the
matter of freight rates.
