where he knows the children play away
their time, or are solely taught by monitors,
while the master engages himself in his pri-
vate duties.
Can any Teacher be silent to such imputa-
tons invidiously hurled at them by one igno-
ran Of the regimen Of our schools?
The fact that Teachers are remunerated
by the results of their schools at annual
private examinations, thus a~ffording sufi-
cient motive for zeal in them, ~confutes his
allegations. -t#
Then the Inspector pays frequent visits
to the schools. Could it therefore be that he
fails to see such defects? Justus's remarks
would imply so, or the Inspector ~connives
at them, either Of which reasons proves his
ineficiency.
After such reproaches he compromises the
Inspector with his c~ommendation. Reader,
does he not manifest his perfdy and condemn
himself?
In conclusion let me request "Injustus,"
for such he is, to visit our schools, and he will
find them equal to any Of their like in the
other w. Indies and the Teachers work
not 80 easy as he supposss. Finally let him

In your issue of the 9TH inst,
.tJustus," under the mask of interest in the
cause of education, while remarking on "An
Observers" account Of the examination of
Anally School, malioiously defames our
Inspector and Teachers in the discharge of
their duties.
His letter is throughout tinotured with in-
Justice and calumny.
One unacquainted with the present status
of our Public Schools in reading his article,
is justified in believing them to be at a low
ebb. the Teachers incapable or unfaithful,
and the Inspector in keeping such men, unfit
for his post.
He complains of the Glow STANDARD" of the
schools. What does he mean? 1t cannot be
that he is ignorant Of their condition some
few years ago, when, at a public examination
only 80 or 1000 could pass ordinarily lin one
or two of the three "Rs," and the others do
little or absolutely nothing.
Again he says her fails to see any admissi-
BILE reason why some children are less
qualified than others. Let me here request
him to gobsefve his own family (presuming
he knows nothing of school keeping) and
there he will even find q great diversity Of
ability among his children.
Every teacher and careful observer Of
mankind recognises the law of individuality,
that every mind is marked by som distin-
guished popularity, and that one excels
where another doesenot. Il is therefore vain
for one 60 look or try for the same result in
every case.

In some Of the schools there has been a marked

good place in town ! can live
with much greater ease" said
an old farmer. He made the
change and in two years time
he had SO disposed of every
thing in his possession, and
lived in a rented" house in
town. Expenses that he had
never dreamed of came upon
him. While in the country
wood was no expense except to
cutand haul, garden vegetables
were plentiful the year around
and he had many off days, or he
was at liberty to take a day off
whenever he felt likeit, and did
not seem to feel its effects upon
his table, or at his wood pile,
but when he came to town he
soon found that to make ends
meet he must rise early and
work late. When his rents were
due he found that he had barely
enough to meet them, and then
there are but few pieces of wood
about the lot. and lire is a neces-
sity, especially in cold weather.
M hen these two necessities,
rents and wood, have been
provided there is but little left
to apply to the necessities of
the family.
We would like to say to our
country friends, in all candor,
if you have a home in the coun-
try remain at that home, for it
is a leap in the dark to cast your
lot in town just to be in town.
Some people have an idea, an
erroneous one, too, that the
merchant has nothing to do.
He works day and night, and
his entire effects are continually
exposed to danger, and it is only
by close economy that he comes
out safe at the end of the year.
This subject might be carried
out at great length, but suffice
it to say, there is much less an
noyance and more good things
to eat in a well regulated coun-
try home than in a city Of
church spires and paved streets.

Murder in North DanviiIe.

the night of the 18th of Nov.
because Of an article appearing
in his paper "Anti-Liquor,"
died at l:50 o'clock Sunday
morning. j. l.. Clark, the
murderer is in Jail.
Ii seems that Mr.. Moffett
wanted to arrange some tickets
on election day to suit his own,
and the convenience of others,
which he had a right to do as
there is no law forbidding such
procedure. Mr.. Clark, accused
him Of preparing fraudulent
tickets, wereupon a little fist
cuff took place. Mr.. Moffett
went to his Office and wrote a
scathing article in defense of
his course aud app Piled some
epithets to Mr. Clark that were
not very palatable to the latter.
Mr.. Moifett was on the streets
Friday night on his way to
church when Le came in con-
tact with Clark. Some words
were passed between them when
Clark drew a pistol and began
TO fire. Mr.. Moffett had moth
ing with which to defend him.

He was tenderly cared for by

WINSTON, Nov. 14.--[Special. +
Last night about II o'clock the fire
alarm was sounded. The fire COM
panies were promptly out.
The fire broke out in the drug store
Of Brown & Brown and is supposed
to have been caused from defective
fue.
Brown 81 Browns store is on Lib
erty street between Sd and 4th streets.
The flames rapidly spread and in a
little while the whole block was
ablaze.
Some time after midnight a second
fire broke out on 3D. street, between
Church and Chestnut.
Greensboro was telegraphed for
help, and in one hour and fifteen
minutes the Greensboro boys were
In Winston and rendered prompt and
Invaluable assistance, and in little
while the fire was under complete
control.
The following is a list Of those
burned out as near as your reporter
could ascertain: III ..~
Gaylord Racket Store.
s. Z. Allen, hardware.
First National Bank, Of Winston.
Brown & Brown, druggists.
Kadden & Co., clothing.
Rosenbacker & Bro, clothing.
Caldwell & Ruff, clothing.

On 4th street: Vaughan & Co.,
wholesale grocers; R. r. Crawford,
hardware; four new stores on the old
Grogan factory lot, which were near
~ ready for occupancy.
The square near the passenger
depot between Sd and 4th streets and
Church and Chestnut was entirely
destroyed. The losers were:
Abbott B. Jones, tobacco sales
warehouse; A. NJ. Sammonis, livery
stables and bar, 40 horses said to be
burned up B. J. Shepherds leaf to-
bacco prize house, and 6 tenant
houses.
The loss is estimated at from $780,.
900 to $4,000.
1t is the opinion Of some Of the best
citizens Of Winston that the second
fire was the work Of an incendiary
fiend. In this, however, l think
they may be mistaken.
There is more than ordinary ex-
element over the FIRE among tbs
gnod people of Winston.
