COMMUNICATION.
Wilson N. C. Aug. 13th 1902.
MR. EDITOR—John L. Bailey Esq.
of Elm City would make a most ad-mirable
County Commissioner. A
man of the highest character, pos-sessing
business qualifications of the
hi-rhest "order; a 'financier with no
superior in the county, evidenced by
(he great success that has at-tended
his every enterprise,
that of merchant banker, and
farmer, the management of the
finances of Wilson county conld not
be placed in safer, better hands.
Besides this, he is a demoerat of the
truest faith, bold and fearless in ad-vocacy
of his party and faithful to
its ever demand. Elm City should
have one of the five to be chosen at
the primaries on the 23rd and I nom-inate
Mr. Bailey as that one.
J. W. CROWBLL.
In another column of this paper
will be fonnd a card to the Demo-cratic
voters of Wilson County pre
senting the name of Mr. J. L. Bailey
as one of the fiveCounty commission-ers
to be selected at the eoming.pri-mary
election. We do not believe
that any better man conld be found
to fill the place, as he is, in every
way, well qnallifled. He is a Demo-erat;
true and faithful to all the
principles of the Demamatic party.
But words of oars are unnecessary
to tell who and what he is. It is suffi
cieat to say that Toisnot Township
is jaetly 'entitled to representation
on the Board of Commissioners and
we hope he will be selected.
Bemember the primary election to
to be held Ang. 23rd. Let every
Democratic voter go to his voting
place and by his ballot help to se-lect
the menbest men suited to fill the
different offices. Good men make
good officers and good officers make
good government.
The School Law of the State
makes it imperative on all public
school teachers to attend Teacher's
Institutes. Failure to do so forfeits
the right to teacher for one year.
One teacher in Wake county failed
to attend the Institute held in Ral
eigh but week and appealed to Supt
Joyner and others of the educational
Department to help him out, bat he
was told that is was a law and he
would have to eomply with it.
Look Pleasant, Please
Photographer C. C. Harlan, of
Eaton. O., can do so now, though
for yean he couldn't, because he
suffered untold agony from the
worst form of indigestion. All phy-sicians
and medicines failed to help
him till he tried Electric Bitters,
which worked such wonders for him
that he deelaies they are a godsend
to sufferers of dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. Unrivaled for diseases of

Edgecombe Leads in School
Terms.
Thus far reports for the past year
have been received by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-tion
from all except twenty of the
county superintendents of public
schools; and ofthe reports received
the best showing of length of rural
schools and salaries to teachers is
made by Edgeoombe county, where
the terms of schools, omitting the
graded schools of Tarboro and
Rocky Mount, which had longer
terms, were 29 3-10 weeks for whites
and 26 3-10 weeks for colored schools.
The average salaries paid to male
teachers was $40; females $31.00;
colored males, .$28.91; colored fe-males,
$25.67.
Daring the past year no new school
districts!were made but nine of the old
districts were consolidated in to five
There are 29 school distritcs in the

First New Bole of Cotton
Reaches Norfolk.
We see from the Virginian-Pilot of
the- 12th that the first bale of new
cotton of the season of 1902-3 reach-ed
Norfolk on Monday. It was eon-signed
to that well known firm of
W. D. Bountree and Co, and was
shipped from Clio S. C. by Mr. A.
L. Calhoun Jr.
It graded middling, good condition
and sold for 10c per pound. The ar-rival
of this bale was 24 days earlier
than last year, and exactly the same
date as in 1900.
Mr. Calhoun made no mistake in
consigning this bale-to that thor-oughly
reliable firm,'Mess. W. D.
Bountree ft Co., and our readers
will do we II to correspond with them
if they intend shipping cotton to
Norfolk,.
Our impression is, that they have
been in the cotton business about
30 yesrs,aud know the business thor
oughly. Mr. Bountree is a native of
Wilson County and has a host of
friends here.
No truer better man has ever loft
this state than Wiley D. Bountree.
Historic Tree Distroycd
The storm Saturday destroyed the
"David Poplar" at the University,
one of the most historic trMB In the
state, The tree was not entirely de-stroyed
butthe top was twisted oat
and tke trunk shattered a portion of
the way. /
The "David Poplar" is well known
to every student of the University
during the last eeatery and the fast
that it was greatly damaged will be
heard with regret by all.
It was under the famous old tree
that the first meeting of the directors
of the Uaaiversity was held more
than a hundred years ago. Whom
the state decided to eotablish a Uni-versity
a committee was sent out to
select a ait*. After going to many
places the committee finally want to

sity and the location was selected.
The fact that the aid traaha* been
damaged Will be heard with regret
by all. The site should be marked
with a monument of some kind and
this will probably ho dona.—Morn-ing
Post.
According to a recent census bul-letin
North Carolina farmers in-creased
their investment in livestock
during the last ten years 174 per
cent,; in use of commercial fertili-sers
55.4 par cent; improved
farm implemanta 26.3 per
eent while the value of farm pro-duets
increased 58.1 per eent- Tke
increase in the value of farm pro-duets
is attributable in good measure
to a larger and more jndioions use of
commercial fertilisers, and improved
farm impelments and machinery,
thus supplying a loss otherwise re-sulting
from irregular of unreliable
labor.—Baleigfa Post
GreatProblem Confronting us.
On Mountain Laka Park, Md., last
Saturday and in presence of more
than four thousand people, Mr. W.
Bryan discussed the momentuous
uestjons of the day and the prob-lems
that confront our government.
He denied that he would again bo a
candidate for president and hoped
that he had a higher ambition than
that. He preferred too honor of be-ing
a private eftisen. He said that
tue Bepublieans were continually
striking at him and he wanted one
at them, thot they had dragged the
trusts the discussing the tariff, free
silver, trusts and imperialism into
the mire of dollars and cents, and
regarded the cultivation of good mo-rality
as a paramount issue and de-clared
that history supported his con-tention
and that a nation decayed
whenever It failed to cultivate mor-ality.
He said the present administration
had amended God's command,"Thou
shalt not steal.'' "Thou shalt not
kill," Thou shalt not covet," by
addinsr^sTa whan done on a very
large scale." He denounced imperi-alism
at great length, complimented
American soldiery and claimed him-self
as davoat apostle of free silver
as ever. He said that every article
manufactured by the trusts should
be put on the free list.- Ex.

An Appeal
A Mississippi editor makes this
appeal to delinquent subscribers!
Fish down in your pocket and dig

the paper) about to bust. We've
trusted you for many years, and did
it with a smile, so just return the
compliment and trust us for awhile,
Our wife she needs stockings, and
the baby needs a dress. Jimmy
needs some breeches ,and so do Kate
and Bess. Bud is on the hog train
Peggy is sick with grief; say isn't
it possible' to give a man relief!
Shell out those nickels and turn
loose the dimes, turn 'em loose and
whistle and we'll have bettor times;
there will be fewer patches on the
bosom of our pants, and well make
the paper better if we had half a
chance. Don't give us that old sto-ry
long gone .'to seed, 'bout taking
more family papers than the family
want to road; but help to food the
printer, and he'll help our town to
grow, and thus escape the sulphur
