The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1890-01-09

Prof. Winston of the Univer-
stty has written letter to the
State Chronicle from which we
make the following extra cts:
The public schools and espe-
cially the graded schools have
recently engaged the public
mind somewhat to to the eXclu-
sion of private schools. While
it is we'll to develop our public
school system to the highest
point of efficiency, yet we can
never dispense with private
schools. Just now they are the
most efficient factors in educa-
ting our youth; and for the past
century and half they have
given to North Carolina nearly
| all its intellectual culture and
| refinement. The in-
adequacy of our public schools
to furnish education is recOg-
nized even by the negro and the
friends of negro education. *
We need all the public scbo OILS
and especially all the graded
schools we can get; but we are
not likely to get all we need.
The race question is great
barrier to education; and it is
very unfortunate that this gen
Grafton is trammelled in it's ed
ucational progress by race pref
udice no less than by poverty.
| In the mind Of the average man
the education of the negro is a
burden, a menace and sore.
Meanwhile the negro is taking
all the education he can get
from the public schools, and his
wealthy friends are helping him
along with private schools. II
is no longer exageration to say
that the negro, who represents
our lowest social grade and
poorest class in property, has
better opportunities for educa
ton in North Carolina than the
average poor white child. DE-
not desire to appeal to race
prejudice, but simply call atten
ton to facts. There is room fol
charity here. ami our men O
means may look long and far tt
/ find better object of charity
5 We must foster our pri
vate schools. They are doin!
: good work. Under pres
, ent circumstances our publi
: school system does not fu1nis'
: adequate educational facjlitie
: for our people. 1t seems yer.
:; difficult at present to greatl
3 increase their efficiency. A
5 soon as possible they should b
e made as highly efficient as pos
} sible. Meanwhile we must fos
| ter and improve our privat
a schools, for upon them we ar
8 dependent for a large share {
! the work of educating ou
children.

WHY IS IT.?

The editor of the Catlettsburg
Democrat, Captain Thomas D.
Marcum, late of the Union
Amy, has asked the question,
"Why is it?" and comments as
follows:
why is it that most of the
ex-Confederates are stout and
we'll preserved men for their
age, while myst of the ex-Union
soldiers are broken down from
their service and on the pension
rolls or trying to get there
1t is a fact that none will
dispute that the Confederate
army was not as well fed nor
clothed as Union soldiers were;
that they ssere physically more
exposed than were the Union
troops, yet most all Of the ex
Union soldiers claim to he
suffering from injuries anf
disease from their service
while the Confeds are robus
and look as though they woul'
be able foc seve lal years goot
service in the field were j
required Of them. However
| there are those who believe tina
the ex-Union solni erd would b
stouter and more robust an
prosperous in the various avo
cations of life if there were n
pension attachment to allege
disabi lity incurred while in til
service It seems TO be NOR
trying on a mans censtitutio
to be loyal to tie Goyernmer
than it was TO he a Rebel. Son

Sweet Potatoes for Market.

Sweet potatoes sell in the
northern markets for about
twice as much as they do here.
There is no land better suited
to potato raising than ours, and
there is money in raising them
at the price they sell for here.
Then why not let the sweet po-
tato be a part, at least, of the
truck farming OF this section
But the yankee taste is not as
fine as ours. We prefer the yam
because it is the best potato
known to the world, but the
yankee will not have them.

4 Mistake which. Though Small, May
Result Very UnhappUy.
Do not get in the habit of being
familiar in manner or speech with
young men True, you may say moth
ing that is harmful; you may only say
what yuu think, and that may be per-
tectly innocent. And always 70 say Just
what one thinks is wisdom, but TO Jest
with Tom or Harry, innocent though
the subject may be, is not wise Shall
there, then, be no gayety in life? says
dear girl. Plenty of it But make it
pure, sweet fun, entirely clear and free
from the bitter waters of Marah.
Don't yOu think that the one man
the one 70 whom you give your heart
viii care more for one when he knows
that an idle Jest, 4 careless word,
familiar manner have not been given
by you 10 every man friend you may
have? IL doesn't seem much; but, my
dear girl, because you are my dear girl,
just remember that while many a girl
amuses the general young man, il is the
special man who is worth consideration.
You do not think IL quite nice TO look
20 marriage as your future? Why not?
DO you not find the com panionship of \
man you love more interesting than
that Of even your dearest woman friend?
Then YOU think l do not approve of
woman's friendship? Indeed l do
when they are true ones. But the best
friend FOR a woman is the man who in
tercsts her-the man she loves, and who
is her sweetheart-soon TO be her hus-
band. And she makes a mistake in not
trying 10 please him.

THE OLD MAN SINGS.

There's wobbIe in the jingle and 4 stumble in
the meter,
And the acc nj might be clearer and the volume
BE- Complcter,
And there mi~hc De much improvement in the
stress aud iutouation,
And polish might be added 10 the crude pro
uuuclation;
But there's music like the harper played before
the ancient kings,
When the old man takes the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings;
There is laughter chollcJ with tear-drops when
the old man sings
And we form a ring about him, and we place him
In the middle,
And hc hugs up 90 Els WlthcrrG check the poor,
old broken LI.Ic,
And a smile comes on his features as he hears
the strings vibration,
And he sings the songs Of long ago with falter-
ing iut0uation;
And phautoms from the distant past his broken
music brings,
And troopiug from their dusty graves come
loug-forEotteu things
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the old
man sings.
We let the broken man play on upon the broken
fiddle,
And we press around TO hear him. as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound Of many wedding bells IN all the
music surses-
Then We hear their cIamor smothered by the
sound OF funeral dirEes.
'I1s the story Of his life e-time that IN the music
rings
And every Iife's blind mans tune that's
played on broken strings
And so we sit in silence while the old man sings.

LINCOLN AND GRANT.
Couple of Fresh Stories About the
Great War Heroes.

GrcRt War Heroes.
Ex-Governor Ashley, Of Montana,
lately told a New York Tribune re-
porter some interesting stories of Presi-
dent Lincoln's kind-heartedness. ~
consider President Lincoln" he said,
zone Of the most remarkable men who
ever lived, as his kindness of heart was
shown to fall men at all times.
I remember once when Carl Schurz,
who was with the army, had
sent letter to the President without
consulting his commanding officer. OF
coul Sc. this was q breach Of discipline
not TO be countenanced, and he subse-
quentIy wrote a letter of apology TO Mr..
Lincoln. The President replied by
letter: Never mind; come and see me-
Of course, when Schurz went, he began
TO apologize profusely, but the Presi-
dent, seeing how i'll at ease he was,
smiled and said in 4 kindly tone: Never
mind, Schurz, 1 guess before we get
through talking you won't think am
so bad a man as some people say l am
That kindness broke Schurz all up.
Another time l saw him give par
don for a soldier sentenced to be shot,
on the suppIication Of the poor fellows
wife and daughters. OF course there
was q most pathetic scene, and many of
the bystanders cried. After signing
the pardon the President said: Well, I
have made one family happy, but
don't know about the discipline of the
army"
Mr.Ashley also told some good stories
about General Grant, of whom he was q
loyal and ardent admirer. Among some
he related was one OF circumstance on
the evening of the first days battle of
Shiloh, which had been a defeat.
AT that time" he said, when any
man might have felt disturbed, the
quartermaster came to General Grant
and told him that if he was again de-
feated on the next day he could not
transport the troops (about G5.0O0 in
number). if it was necessary to cross the
river.
''Grant asked him: How many can
you handler
"'Ten thousand replied the Quarter
master.
Well said Genera Grant, quietly,
If we are defeated, you viii be able to
carry all that are left
80 you see, - said Mr.. Ashley, what
determination Grant had He simply
determined to win or be annihilated." ="

One Of the most important duties Of
parent in bringing up child IS to pre-
vent tho child from doing itself harm.
The child does not know. for instance,
that unlimited sweets and sOurs in 5ure

mother does know Il, and IL IS hor duty
