Numerous correspondents of the Jewish
papers writing from Jerusalem bear testi-
mony to the exceptionally harsh treat
ment Of the Jews at the hands of the
Turkish authorities. palestine, the holy
mother" as one Of the writers says, sis
casting out her children who come to
visit her from afar, and Jerusalem closes
her gates against them" The govern
ment has issued orders forbidding foreign
Jews who are new arrivals in the holy
land from staying there longer than
thirty days. "Palestine,'' say these
tyrannical rulers, sis a country of holy
places and ancient tombs, and not Of
commerce., and to visit these places
thirty days are considered more than
enough. As a result it is said trade falls
off and financial affairs suffer; but still
the Jewish immigration is discouraged,
while the Christians, particularly those
of the Greek church, and the Moham-
medans are treated very differently. Yet
in Palestine, as elsewhere, the Jewish
settlers appear to be good subjects and
sober, orderly, industrious people. Chi

English grammar, the very terror of
pupils and the puzzle of masters, is, after
all, nothing but the English language;
but unfortunately neither master nor
pupil knows it Or thinks of it. The first
and the best elementary lesson that a
child learns, whether he will or not, is
from the language of the educated people
around him. AS he grows older he must
learn to make his own grammar-that
is, to understand his own language; but
he must be helped to do it. This help
can be given with one of his very earliest
reading lessons without frightening him
by telling him that he is learning Eng
lish grammar, a phrase that terriiies him
more than the name of any other study
in the curriculum.-Th School.

Prof. S. G. Atkins.

One of the best men in the State of
North Carolina is Prof. S. G. Atkins
of Livingstone College, Salisbury.
Prof. Atkins is born teacher and
has been thoroughly prepared for his
work. The school room is his home
and his greatest pleasure is in training
the minds of the youth. A nations
greatest blessing lies in such men as
Prof. Atkins. The moral and intel
lectual standing of any community
must grow under the leadership of
such a man.
He is a powerful Sunday School
worker and the fruits of his labors are
seen around Salisbury. He has been
an active worker. yea the principal
worker in the colored State teachers
association. He devotes much of his
time to the general educational work
of the race, some Of which may be
seen by. reading the Educational
Column in the Star Of Zion, which
column he edits.
He is principal Of the Normal de-
partment of Livingstone, but his

work would be much more widely felt
if he was at the head of some institu-
ton of learning. He is model that
should be a pattern for all the boys
of community. What shining
light for one of our State normals or
large city graded schools. Prof.
Atkins is Christian gentleman, and
as a teacher is second to none in
North Carolina.

DIR. j. c. Price and Liberia,

On every side we hear the question:
"Will Mr.. Price go to Liberia 2"
Some say he should not ego back on"
Zion. Some seem to think that he
has no right to go if he wants to. All
seem to indulge the hope that he will
decline the nomination.
We have not heard from DR.. Price,
but our opinion is, he will not accept
the nomination. The honor of the
office, the privileges of travel, etc., the
salary of about six thousand a year, is
somewhat of a temptation to any poor
man. 1t would be impossible to fill
Dr. Prices place here with an equal,
though the college and the race
would survive should he 60. Zion
has many other able, progressive
men, ready to fill any responsible
position.
We hope DR.. Price will not accept
the place under Mr. Cleveland, in fact
we do not believe he will but all
should accord him the right to use
his own judgment in the matter. If
he wants to go it is because he be-
lievcs he can there better serve his
people, his country and his God.

The true Anti-Poverty society is the
society of "Toil, Thrift and Tenn

stitution demands that the principles OF
intelligent economy shall be learned by
patient study and followed in daily life.

the charity that we call Christian is being

The Republican Executive Com
mittec of Mecklenburg county met in
this city. J. W. Gordon, chairman,

a candidate for any office except he be
straightout Republican, or elect any

If the Republican District conven-
ton is to be held SO persons attending
it can 60 ON to the State convention,
it should be in Rockingham or Ham
let on the 22d of MAY, or in Raleigh
the same day as the State convention.
Either could be easily done and save
much expense; but if it is to be held
at different time regardless of the
State convention, then it should be
held in Lumberton or Wadesboro
about the first Of May. A good re-
presentation would help the party if
held in Wadesboro or Lumberton.
