C., Nov. 22.-The su perinteniient of education has finished his annual report, and it shows a de cided increase in the enrollment of the schools of the state. The total enroll ment is 258,183; of this number 119.02 are white, and 130,156 negroes. Spar tanburg county heads the list with a grand total of 15,079, while Chesterfield has the smallest enrollment, it being only 3,768.

In this reservation is a tribe of Catawba Indians. about 500 in number. The object of Governor El lerbe's visit will be to make a thorough investigation into these red men, their conditions and social situations A knowledge of these facts will enable him to make, as he desires to do, a rec ommendation to the legislature con cerning measures to be passed for the bettering of their condition and the ad vancement of their education. Will Not Fix Telephone Rates. RALEIGH, Nov. 24 -The railway com mission has rescinded alt orders fixing rates for rental of telephones or ex change service. There was argument by John W. Daniel and others against the fixing of rates. Attorney General Walser gave the board his opinion that it had no jurisdiction with respect to telephone rates more than to make or cause to be made just and reasonable rates of charges for transmission of messages by any telephone lines doing business in North Carolina, and that the commission has no authority to pre scribe charges for the rental of tele phone wires, instruments and ex changes or use thereof. Northeastern Stockholders Meet. CHARLESTON, h.ov. 22.-The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Northeastern Railway company was held here. The board of directors, con sisting of B. F. Newcomer.

The annual report was most satisfactory. The gross receipts of the year were $532,525.39, and the operating expenses $343765.08. After paying dividends and all other expenses, the balance at credit to profit and loss June 30 was $197, 723.33. ________ THE EDELWEISS MYTH. It Is Not a Eare Phant, Nor Does It Grow at Very Great IlIeights. It is commonly re'pornd c and is no less commonly believed by the inexperi enced tourist that edclweiss is a plan"t which only grows in the most dangerous Iand inaccessible situations. Of course with it, as wvith any other Alpine plant, this may now and then happen. But as a rule it is found on rough and rather stony slopes of grass, the ordinary pas ture of sheep and goats, at heights rang ing from about 0,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea level. It is not of ten met with below the former limit and seldom above the latter. Once it could be plucked-probably it has now been ex terminated-by the side of a path a few hundred feet above Zermatt and within half an hour of the hotels. It was abun dant, and no doubt still is, all about the little inn at the Tosa falls, and it may be picked in handfuls within a couple of hours' easy w alk fromu the~ baths of San Bernardino. That it is a great rarity is also an article of faith, but this is another myth, 1t is dotubt less a plaitt local rather than universal in the Alps, but there are few districts where it does not occur, often a bundant ly. What has caused it to be so prized is difficult to understand. it is an ever lasting, but that is almost equivalent to saying that it has no great beauty. The plant attains a height of about four inches, having ono or two ulOWers on a stem. These are star shaped, a few pointed rays down c-o'.ered, as if they Iwere cut cat of pale gray velvet, sur rounding twvo or three yellowish tufts. The dry stemn and narrow leaves are similarly coveredl. Its scientific name is Gnapalimu leontopodium,. and the ge nus to which it belongs has three or four representatives in the Alps, one of them, G. dioicum, being also abundant on dry moors in Britain. It is, in short, a flower quaiint rather than beautiful. The edelweiss is an extremely easy plant to raise from seed and should be treated as an annual. The seed can be obtained readily for a fewv pcnce from any respectable nurseryman. It is, how Iever, a very difficult plant to transplant with any success. Sometimes the edel weiss, when torn from its native moun tain and set out in a garden, will have suicient life in it to flower and then pine away and die. This is the almost invariable result of these attempted transplantatioens. It may be added that edelweiss, when grown on anything like the sea level, or, in fact, anywhere away from home, entirely loses its distinctive character and becomes worthless as a garden plant. Perhaps these renmarks will save some tourists' sponge bags from being filled, wvhich, if they do not become heated and die on the journey, will barey linger long enough to enable the proud owner to point to them as evi dence that he has actually been to Switzerlaud.--London Standard.
