Cheraw and Coalfieids Railroad.

We received letter stew days ago. but too
late for our last paper. from Harris Tysor, Esq..
of Moore County, requesting US to give notice Of
q Railroad meeting to be held on the goth inst,
at Fair Haven. Moore County, N. C. We regret
that the delays of the mail between that place
and this prevented US from getting the letter in
time.
The object Of the meeting was TO press the
claims Of the route from Carthage by that place,
thence on the North aide Of Deep River to Egypt
for the Railroad.
Most per.ons seem not to understand that the
lines run are merely experimental, and that when
determining the true location. cross sectional lne'
will be made to secure the best location. such
however, lie the fact, and when this is done we
hope no friend OF the Road will have cauIe tc
complain.

The Public, schoo,s in oharlsstaR.

A recent report informs W that tAsse are at
tending the Public Schools in the city Of Char
lesion, upwards OF 1900 scholars. These, schools
are under the control ofa Board OF commissioners
FROM the July report Of the Boara Dwe learn, thot
the actual cost per SCHOLAR per annum for tuition,
amounts to but little over $ll. Thus vers the
parents of these students 70 pay the tuition, it
would still be within the means Of all 70 educate
their children. And for this small pitlAnce, the
stu tents have oil the advantages Of the very best
and most euccessful instructors that can be OBJ
tanned with an opportunity Of studying oil the
branches taught in our best Academies
We note these facts for the purpose Of asking
il it is not possible to secure the same educational
advantages to our children by adoptiugthe Char
lesion plan. II public schools Of like character
were opened tere, and the tuition fixep even at
$l5, is it not more than probable that Aey would
sustain themselvesi We have at least $50 chill
dren that ought to be at school, and wpuld be at
school had their parents the means to put them
there. That number at $l5 would produce a
fund for the payment Of teachers Of twenty two
hundred and fifty dollars; at least onsthird more
than can be raised by our present system Butin
addition to this our beat ought to be entitled to
some $500 Of the school fund. Secure this, and
the number of children could easily Be increased
10 2 O-equal 10 $4,000. Which wouldpay a prin
cipal 5000, and three assistants. $500 each.
If 1t is polite to increase The means Of education
l,,l,, ilu fbo
practicable plan within our reach otherwise,
then let US rase the present IN many cases, pro
hibitory rates Of tuition.
A short year pHst, the teachers in the public
schools throughout the State. invited to visit
the public schools r Charleston - That they
might see the workings Of The system, Many went
acd were fascinated with the success there, but
yet we have heard of 10 effort on the part Of
these teachers to introduce the Charleston system
into the country. Why is thisi The answer in
many cases we know is, the sparseness Of the
country population, but tha: will not apply to our
towns and many neighborhoods where good
schools already exist at high rates Of tuition.
We desire TO call the attention Of parents, and
more particularly the attention Of the school com
missioners and trustees of Academies to this sub
iect. We might have in Chesterfield some hall
dozen public schools. where all the branches of q
plain English education, together with the orna>
mental for girls, and the preparatory branches for
College for the boys were taught at or near the
Charleston rate for tuition. With that number
o. such schools in the District few years would
find our District in quite different position from
that she now occupies. We insist that it is prac
ticable 10 avail ourselves Of the benefits of the
Charleston system, and that there is no valid
reason why we should not do it. Indeed, it only
wants the perseverance, determination and inin
ence Of Memminger to carry out the system.

The committee will offer handsome premiums
for trotting and running horses, their speed to
be tested against time and the trotting
track will be put in the best order, this feature
of the exhibition will prove highly interesting.
l. is TO be regretted that the State and Central
Societies have been unable TO agree upon some
plan for holding joint Fair. Richmond is
certainly the most desirable point III Virginia
for such an exhibition, the country people pre-
fer visiting the metropolis to any other place,

Central Fair, and to contend tor the liberal
premiums soon to be made known to them.
