A COURT OTLOCAL APPEAL.

TIE CAUCASIAN, in its last two
Issues, has claimed that DR..
Grissom's admissions on trial,
(even barn ing all the evidence)
makes him entirely unfit for the
position he holds, and that 1t
did not make any difference
how the Board of Directors de-
cided that there was a higher
tribuEal-public opinion-that
would determine his guilt or in
nocence. Both of these posi-
tions are endowed by three
fOurths Of the papers Of North
Carolina. We cite two of them.
The Statesville Landmark says:
He may not be guilty OF every
thing charged against him buthe has
mitted enough to bring him under
suspicion--and,m more; he has convict
ed himself of conduct improper and
unbecOming, TO say The very least.
TIL n has he public confidence to the
same extent a before" If not, then
the usefuless of the institution over
which he presides Is by so much
impaired, Does it stand as well as it
did before this investigation was
begun? Put it t, yourself thus:
Suppose your daughter becomes
insane; would you feel her safe if
committed to the Raleigh asylum?
Suppose your daughter, sane, Wig.
orOus and in search of employment,
should be offered position as atten-
dant, matrOn or hOusekeeper in that
institution; would you be Willing
for her to accept? This is the
tOuchstone to apply in this case.
The State Chronicle says:
1t is painful to us to dissent from
their verdict, to ask an appeal
unto Cesar-the great court of the
people. The great jury OF all the
people is the highest appellate cour!
in the land. This court of the people
is the Caesar Of modern times. II
The people endorse the finding of
the Board we willacquiesce for they
rarely err when all the facts are
presented to them. If they agree with
US that the majority of the Board
has not rendered @ verdict in accOr'
dance with the evidence, there must
be a reversal of judgment and DR.,
GrissOm must be asked TO retire
from the Superintendency of the in.
stitution.
A few papers that are partial
to Grissem try to plaster over
the matter and claim that Girls
som is not guilty, but there is
not single one that dares to
claim that Grissom should moi
resign.

A. F. JOHNSON
is a native of Clinton, and pro-
bably in his 45th year. He was
educated in Clinton, under Dr.
Wilson in Orange and at Chapel
Hill. He left. the University
and entered the Confederate ar
my as a volunteer at the OPEN
ing of the war. After the war
he entered his fathers store,
upon the des th ot whom he took
charge of the business, and also
succeeded his father a. the 2nd
cashier Of the Clinton Loan AS
ISOLATION. He was married to
Miss Emma B Pearsall in 1866.
He was one Of the leading and
most important factors iii the
building of the Clinton & War
saw railroad ana has ever Deen
one of the most enterprising,
progressive and public spirited
citizens OF the town. In fact
there is none TO whom the pres
ent progress and prosperity OF
the town is more due than to
Mr.. A. +. Johnson, The. next
most importalft step for Clinton
and SAMPSON 1cosmty, to- the
railroad, is the Carolina Veneer
Works, of which he il the orig
inator and sole proprietor. We
hope that otherswi II ilnita 6e his
| noble and unselfsh. course il

the beginning of series of IN
dustrial and manufacturing EN-
terprises, which is the only hop,

tom AttelSied /. local schools
here, till sixteen years of age.
Commenced clerking for his
father, Warren Johpson, Esq.
Became partner of the firm of
Warren Johnson & Son, January,
1875. Married Miss Anuie G.
Peden, daughter of Maj. W. y.
peden, of Wilmington, \. e.,
July 1875. Su ,ceeded the hnsi-
ness Of W. Johnson Il Son, Jan.
nary, 1854. Since that time has
conducted the business on his
own account at the corner Of
Maiu and Wall streets. Mr..
Johnson is one Of our most en-
terprising and wide-awahe mer-
chants and probably gives a
stricter personal attention to his
business than any man in the
place. Therefore his business
is a decided success and one
that would do credit to any town
in the State. His liberality to-
all worthy and charitable pur-
poses is well known to all. He
will probably originate an ad-
ditional enterprise for our town
at an early day.
Sketch OF Business
Store occupied is two and a.
half story building, 27 feet front,
1ls feet deep, besides room
used exclusively for millinery
and fancy goods: that is II feet
wide and So feet deep. Has a
warehouse on Fayetteville street
now filed with cook stoves, hol-
low-ware, &c, Also ware room
on Jail street, for storing salt,
flour, &c. Keeps a large as
sorted STOCK of general merch han
disc. On first floor you find dry
goods of all kinds, from the
cheapest cotton to the most ex-
pensive silks, satins and file
wool fs brics, white goods, hosi-
cry, notions, boots and shoes III
immense variety. Mems hats
and furnishing goods; books and
stationery. Up stairs You will
find carpets and mattings, up-
holstery goods, crockery and
tinware. The third floor is used
for storage purposes. The capa-
cious gare-room in the rear OF
store is used as a grocery depart
ment and is always filed with
everything in that line.
The large warehouses above
referred to Oh Fayetteville and
Jail streets are indispensable, as
the large purchases made by Mr.
johnson direct from mills and
factories would more than fill
his store proper, His business
has increased yearly until prob
ably now no house n Clinton
does a larger business. His
stock is estimated at from $25,
900 to $4,000, and does a vol
ume OF business, more thai
double this amount. Few towns
in the State can boast of a store

few weeks ago, the correspondent

to the good influence which manufac-

situated. According 10 my understand
ing, educated by much experience, It is
o key note Of good tone and II properly
exercised would result in much good.
A short residence in most manufactur-

the direct acts or influence of the EN-

true, the conclusion IS irresistible that
particularly on his part in regard to the
character Of the help he employs and the
rules he enforces, would materially aid
in improving or Graduating an element
that not only poisons its own craft, but
all who mingle with it, and often battles
or renders extremely difficult every 9TH

SIR - Since writing last, have

Teaching in this Gland of steady habits
is much like it is in Dixie, only the
school houses are better than most OF
those in the country there, The system
Of the common schools here is so differ

toned to, that will note some OF the
peculiarities. There Is no Superintend-
ent OF Education, but the controlling
power in the town system Of schools is
In the hands OF Board, consisting Of
nine persons known as School Visitors,
part OF the members Of whom are elected
annually, Certain ones Of them are re-
uuired to visit the schools in their re-
spsctlve districts, and have general
supervision of school matters. Together
they form the Examining Board and
issue certificates to the teachers. In
stead OF being examined for a certain
grade OF certificate, as is generally the
custom where have resided, notice
here.the examination lie for particular
school, and the next Questions after ask

mittee The Board Of Examiners seem
to be . very democratic body. Their ap
pointment is to meet at one O'Clock, but
at the time went in the session opened
about A-o'clock. The Examiners ask
just such questions as come to their
minds. After an hour and half or 80
Of general blackboard and clase exer-
cises, the candidates for certificates are
requested to pass into another room
while the Board passe' its judgment on
their work. The local school officers are
about the same as in Bennington, when
