Fub. Education.

Practically, reading. writing and
arithmetic are taught in the average
school and that is about all the
State owes to itself to provide for.
The public schools are no place for
..frllls and furbelows Of education.
The State is morally bound and self
protection requires 1t to qualify those
who are to vote for the ordinary On
les of citizens life. When it has
taught these to read, write and cipher.
the State has done its duty. Hav-
ing learned thus much, the childrel'
who are tit to learn more will never
have difficulty In finding the opportu-
nity and those unfit for more would
better be at the work for which they
are fitted. We hope to see the day
when not only the States dlty thus
to instruct is universally recognized.
but the parents duty in the premises
are as well defined and enforced

could be done with the aid of his

them to shoot him fperceived. When

The State canning factories for the
purpose of canning peaches, berries

There is no reason why such enter
prises should not pay handsome re
turnes to the owners. At present our
merchants pay from $l.2O to sl.5o

prices peaches sell for in this State.
it will cost the Gamers only forty to
sixty cents per dozen to put them up
and if they sell OF seventy cents to
one dollar per dozen large profit
made. We would like to see some
efforts on the part of our people to
assist Mr.. Patrick in inducing cans

merry so as to give our farmers and
fruit raisers market for fruit and
vegetables that go waste year after
year. Besides the advantages to the
farmers such concern wonld bring
to onr place several thousand dollars

The Asylum.

We have carefully perused DR..
Grissom's report Of the Insane Asy-
lum. The Legislature at its recent
meeting cut down the appropriation
to tile Asylum so much that DIR. Girls.
som says that it really amounts to
cutting down the food of each patient
70 less than ten cents per day. That
LEGISLATURE was All eccentric one.
People knew not exactly what to ex-
pect from it. But, to be sure, it did
not mean to limit the value of each
patients food to ten cents per day
: to a fraction over three cents meal.
If the legislature meant that, then it
deserves notoriety. Perhaps the Leg
islature in diminishing the approprl>
alton intended that other expenses
should be curtailed. We do not know
but surely the Legislature thought
that by being as as economic as pos
sible in other things that the suffi>
cient and wholesome food could
then be secured without fear of want.
AS it has been, DR.. Grissom states
that had it not been for the products
of the Asylum farm and garden, that
it would have been a very hard task
to get the food necessary for the AS
ylum inmates, with the limited ap-
preparation. The food allowed to the
State cOnvicts amounts to more thai.
that allowed to the afflicted by be-
tween two and three cents per day.
The insane require diet peculiarly
suitable for themselves. They can
not be expected to recover without
the proper nourishment. They need
certain kinds OF food which will nour-
ish the brain. II the State pretends
to have an Asylum for these unfortu.
mates who are trying to regain their
Ieason, then the State should not
withhold the means necessary to
their healthy sustenance. DIR. Gris>
som claims that as to the matter of
food. while he does not complain at
the amount allowed to the convict,
the State is more liberal to the crim>
inal, whose hands are stained with
the blood Of his fellow, than to the
unfortunate victim of a deserted rea>
son.

immigration, and new people have
possession, then indeed will there he

have possession. Taey are progress
sive, they are enterprislng. they are
full of courage and hope. but they
have not forgotten home life in the
ancestral halls. They have not ceased
to cherish the memories and tradl-
tons of their fathers /; they have not
yet lost that thrill of delight and Of
pride at the mention of the glories
and sufferlngs and distinctive fea-
lures of the past. They still retain
part at least of that civilization that
made them quite distinct from the
North in those blithesome, cheerful,
prosperous times when the men of
the South supplied the whole coun-
try with its craftsmanship and kept
the Government speedingon its grand
highway of progress but under strict
Constitutional guidance.
No, no. there is no "New South
as yet. It is the same noble, forgiv-
ing, impulsive, plucky South that
stood up so grandly for principle and
whose virtues proved equal to every
calamity. 1t is the same South, re>
juvenated, freshencd, more puissant
and more hopeful. It is the same
Old South with new aspirations, new
impulses, new ardOr, new resolves
Long, long ray it be before the Old
South shall be dead and the new
South shall be In It's stead. We trust
that not in our time shall the asterisk
(*) of death be written against that
name that has been SO dear to US all

That man Pearsall who killed
Thomas Crow in Wilson in last Nos

on the plea Of insanity
Read this from the Wilson Mirror !:
A SHAMEFUL. FAKCE.-The trial Of
W. w. Pearsall for the murder OF
Tom Crow in this city in November,
last is over. The evidence in brief
was that, on the 4th Of November
election day Pearsall and Grow
had some words, and Crow struck
Pearsall, in consequence of which
Pearsall threatened that be would
kill Crow if it took ten years to do it.
A few days afterwards Pealsall
while drinky, loaded his shotgun.
went down to Crows shop in Little
ashlngton, called him to the door
and shot him dead in his tracks. Il
was in evidence that Pearsall threat
enen on several occasions, between
the day of the difficulty and the muir
der, that he was going to shoot Grow.
and that on one of these occasions he
bad been told if he shot Crow he
would be hanged, and his remark
was "Who ever heard Of white man
being hanged in Wayne county,"
The defence offered evidence that
there is streak Of insanity in Pear
sails family, that the defendant had
acted strangely on several occasions,
that when drunk he was deranged
The jury took the case Friday even

no one in this city, where he was

sometimes a wrong verdict has been
returned. When it becomes preva,
lent that men can be cleared in court

The Goldsboro Messenger deemed

the honor upon itself OF starting that
statement which has gone the rounds

and under the same roof, IN the same
room, at the same time and take their

would be able exert onr influeuce in

before we made any attempt at de,
fence, learn all the fucts in the case.
The Messenger, says 1--WE understand
that separate eating rooms have been

likely that that sentence was written
some time after the first editorial con.
corning this subject, in the DEMo>
GRAFT. For since then, and since then
only. has the manager of the said
Coast Line Hotel stopped the blacks
from eating in the same room, at the
same, with the whites. As proof of
all of our assertions we would refer
any one to the citizeLs of the town of
Weldon. For it was fact which
created no little comment in that
town. Had the Messenger perused a
local in the Roanoke NvsSs, it would
have been constrained to acknowl-
edge the truth, for the Neays. from
Weldon, surely was certain of what
1t uttered. Since the DEMOCRAT ats
