THE PEABODY FUND.
The Winston Colored School to Get
Some Money.

State Supt. Mebane has sent to DR..
J. l.. NJ. Curry his recommendations
and petition for aid from the Peabody
fund.
The State Normal and Industrial
College at Greensboro, Mr.. Mebane
says, he regards as standing at the
head of our Institutions so far as Civ
ing the State teachers for our public
aud private schools, and he asks that
it be this year given s., 900. Last year
it received 81. 800. The increased
amount Is asked for en- the ground
that the college has no assurance from
the State Treasurer that it will re-
ceive the extra appropriation made
by the last General Assembly.
1t is further recommended that the
High Point graded schools, which are
just being started, be given not less
than $500 to $500. The same amount
is asked for the Washington graded
schools.
DR.. Curry has informed Mr.. Mebane
that the seven negro graded schools
are not all in reality graded schools
and that ne cannot help more than
two or thu ee OF the best ones the COM
ing year. He therefore asked the
superintendent to name for him the
three best OF these schools in the
State. The superintendent names
them in the following order: u) Win
stou, ~ Elizabeth City, (3) Fayette
Vile.
Last year the Durham school re-
ceived $500. All the culored normal
schools in the State last year received
81. 900 In addition to the nine Nash
vile scholarships, North Carolina last
year received from the Peabody fund

TOO MUCH SANCTlFICATlON.
This New Doctrine Causes a Split In

This New Doctrine Causes Split In
Two Churches in Forsyth.
Intelligence reaches THE SENTINEL
that a general church row and split
in the membership has taken place at
Antioch Methodist E. Church, located
in Rural Hall township, this county.
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. McLaurin.
professed santiffcation some time dur
ing the early part of this year, and
feeling moved by the spirit that it
would be a good thing for all his flock,
he invited the Rev Mr.. Royal, of
Sampson county, 1.-THE original home
the Rev" Marion Butler) TO come
over and help him in q meeting, in
which it was designed to disciple his
various fiOckS in the mysteries or this
occult theological science.
The plan of the sanctif1cationists is
to sanctify none except professed
Christians, and when they have once
reached this happy state they lose all
carnai desires and worldly loves.
The meeting progressed fairly well
until Sunday, when it I suddenly
became apparent that majority Of
Antioch membership resolved that
the old time religion was good enough
for them and they could not grasp the
inner meaning of the sanctif1ed, and
the contention between the two fac
tions became so heated that it wound
up by the old-time religionists with
drawing from the church in body,
leaving the pastor and his aid still in
charge of the meeting.
Pleasant Hill Protestant Methodist
church. this county, is also split up
over the same doctrine, we learn.

Public school Text Books.

The State Superintendent OF Public
Instruction notifies county supervi-
sors that the text books for the pub
lie schools were adopted by the COM
missioners of each county on the first
Monday in June for three successive
years and requested that they have
the list and prices published so that
parents and children may know what
are required and the prices to be paid.
In some counties he has heard Of
books being sold higher than the con-
tract price recorded at the registers OF
deeds offices. 1t is the duty Of super
visors to see that the children are not
imposed upon. He suggests that
list and prices be printed on heavy
nasteboard and placed in every school
b ,use.
