REMARKS OF MR.. CUNNINGHAM,
OF PERSON,

Delivered an the Senate, the 10Th Novenaber, to
appoint a Superintendent Of Common Schools
Mr.. CUNNINGHAM said have made up nv mind
Sir, to vote for the bill that is before the Senate
and wish my reasons for doing to be distinctly
understood. The largest monetary interest in North
Carolina is the Common School fund. 1t consists of
about two millions of dollars besides an immense
amount of swamp lands and while the interest on
these two millions is annually appropriated among
the Counties according to federal population. an
amount nearly equally large is raised for the same
purpose every year by taxation.
That We may know what becomes of this fund, the
County officers required 10 report to the Governor
and Literary Board. Now do they do it? Every
Governor has informed US they do not. Every Gov
ernor has called on US to appoint experimenting
officer to look into this matter. Not half of the
ties have reported regularly, and it is said immense
sums have been lost sight Of No calls on the
County officers to report They left to act
ding to their sense of right and wrong. Sir, if
man owns large plantation and has many ha nds
on 1t, he wants overseer to look after things. If
he has extensive store he wants good clerk.
Whosoever lays out large sums of money in specu-
aon, acts very fooshIy, if he does not look after it
himself employ trusy agent to do it for him, and
If he does not do SO, he is any thing else than an
economist. For the sake of economy, want SUI
perintendant of Common Schools. This school mon
ey is the peoples money, and they expect to see
II properly applied Suppose, Sir, when we 60 home,
they ask US about these things. Suppose they ask
us all about the Schools, and what has been done
with the million ofdollars spent in the last ten years.
What would we say? What could we say2 Sir if
we told the truth, would say, cannot tell you
any thing about it, do not know how much has been
wasted, how much has been we'll applied, or how
much has been forever lost" Then suppose, Sir,
they ask why cannot give information on these
subjects. We would have TO reply,gitzT ould have
cost us 1900 dollars, andswe did wish to spend
your money. That is, preferred the risk of
losing 900 dollars of the peoples money every
year, rather than spend 1900 dollars to see il applied
70 the purposes established by law Is this economy
Is 1t folly or wisdom Suppose, Sir, we were TO
ABOLISH the Office OF Treasurer and sc home and tell
