Decadence of the "Short" A Reldavllle Rpeclal to the ruielgli Poet conveya the startling Intelligence that owing to the ojralloii of the Watta bill "ahorla" have been withdrawn from sal In that neck of the wood a. Noting the reduction In the number of aaloona from 22 to 6, the dtapatch telle ua: They have rained the price on their foods ejtd th consumers are paying; th additional coat. Heretofore five-cent drtnka have been sold nt the saloons but now nothing less than a ten-cent drink la diapenaed from the counter. And thu the Morally Ftunted Beta It right In th neck! have alwaya had our suspicion that th Watta bill was not the unmixed blessing that many Imagined, and th above fives proof of the fact.

Also being the bail of oclal drinking umotiK certain classed, the wllhdrawul of the "ahort" from the market la likely to largely lessen th cnnaumptlon of In-toxlratln drink.

Protection For the Birds This being the season of the yetir when blrda are nest Inc. and there being a tendency on the part of hoy tn many communities to hunt and destroy th neat and tn of the wild birds thereabouts, we would call tittotitlon ta th fuct that the lusl legislature passed a stringent law, known ns the "Audubon bill," HR'iiriKl surh practice. That act make It mlnJcnicHimr. punishable by a flite or linprlHonnietit "to take or dextroy the neat or eggs" of blrda or "to kill or catch any wild bird, other than game bird, except aa permitted thl act." Thla law will bo strictly enforced not only by the regular officer, but by special game wardens and nil blnl-lov-era generally, and It would he well thoae who have teen ncimstnmed to wantonly kill bird or destroy --their ncsta to bear the fact In mind. The verdict In the Ttley case hn been confirmed and 1'tley, nh 1 riM fo belong to "a rich and influential family," haa been taken to the n(-tentlary to begin serving bis fivc-yeim sentence.

The Memphis says the state auppiernents i- the county school funds very --materially and Its appropriation this year ha l.een doubled by the present General Asremblv. "Th addition only amounts, however.to about St) for every hundred children, and thl will not prolong the school term more than a mouth even in the poorest of these" rural schools. It will do very little good therefore unless the counties shall make a corresponding in. re ise.

Mow to iiec ure brcal taxation has always been the knotty problem in the aubjed of public education. If Tennessee can find some way of inducing rural com munlties to supplement the general public school fund It will have about solve 1 the problem, for when that is done the schools will he open for nine months In the year, public seniment if not me law win comiiel attendance, ever- child will set an education and the Ktate will mak such progress and enjov such prosperity as she has never dreamed of before. An Intelligent rill nenshlp Is at the very foundation of all great development. In another column of today's paper we print an interesting article regarding North Carolina's iinqmsed exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair.

It is worthy of careful readlnu-. There have have been so many expositions of late that many Have grown Indifferent to them and their Importance as advertising niedlui.is. the St. Loula ex-poaition Is going to be a genuinely stupendous show. Its magnitude represents the culmination of two great fuc-lois of American life advertising anil government appropriations.

Kithei alone accomplishes wonders. Togethei they present an Irreslntible combination, and tine that upsets all our piisl calculations. North Carolina must by nil means be renresented there. The communication signed "Consistency," published In another column ol today's paper, was written by an aged and pious man who takes much interest in church and temperance work, but who is ever bold In speaking out when he thinks things are going wrong. His letter is worthy of careful reading and consideration.

Orntlficatlnn nver the decision of the Anti-Saloon League to "co it alone" is Htlekirir out visibly over the whole anatomy of the Republican campaign managers.

While we know thnt the board of education has got for the teachers every cent it could. It cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be said these salaries are adequate. Kven the highest salary received by grade teachers H450 a yeiri Is not an overwhelming reward for faithful rervice, when we reniemlier that it calls for some years of preparation.

It Is true tht the te.i hrs earn thl by nine month of work, but that does not imply that they are able to enjoy an Income from some otherl work during the three months of Vaca tion. On the contrary the problem of earning enough In the nine months to live '-during those months and have a surplus for Is a very seri ous one with many teachers. We have no doubt that most of them woul" rather take three months more of work on salary than the three months of vacation without pay. Hesldes. many tearhers do really work at least anoth er month for nothing, for that la what attendance at summer achools comes to.

Forr time since the New York Kven- ing Journal. dlsi UMslpn; the pay of teachers, pointed out that the average coachman was paid ITift a month, with hla board, and the average teacher in the country per month, without board the coachman being responsible for the cure of two or three horses, and the teacher resimnslble for the future welfare of forty or more children. The Journal's editorial was reprinted In the Tribune of I'nlontown, with thl comment: "When you consider thnt the average teschers' salary in thla county Is much less, and when you consider that the coat of living In Kayelte county ia at the very maximum, it Is no wonder we poke nut as boldly a we did. There ha recently been Treated a new officer at the court house, whose duty it will be to aee that the janitors clean nut the cuapldora, and we aee he la to be paid 70 per month, and twelve months In th year. What a slKht! Worth 1140 per year to see that a few cuspidor are cleaned, and worth $240 tier year to educate vour children! God spare the spectacle!" Whil It is hardly fair to compare the pay of a rejular profession with th sslary attached to a political job created to reward some "worker." still th fact that women teacher are paid ararcely aa well aa good cooka or ftrat-clna house maids, shown tho indifference of the general public to th supremely Important work of teaching children, for teachers lot only tetu-h children, but Influence them foc llfe.X Of course this iirnment Is always met with the objection that teaching with most women Is merely a makeshift and that thev are gbid to gel It a present ailarlrs.

While this is true, the truth of it Is largely due to the fuel that there are no rewards In teaching to make It a ltf work, it those engug-e1 In It are fitted fnewther wntk. It Is only because tenettlng la a inakenhift that It' is poaalhlo to tiecuie enough teachera at present, snltrles.
