He examined white and colored teachers

In 1885 or 1886, B. F. Grady, Superin-

county, held a Normal Institute for the
teachers OF the county in the court house
at Kenansville. Both white and colored
teachers attended, and were taught in the
same room and the same class by this
Grady, who was and is Democrat. The
teachers of both races were so near to-
gether that white lady teacher found it
convenient to call on Amos McCu11ough,
a colored man and teacher, to sharpen
her pencil, he being nearer to her than
anyone else. At the same Normal In
stitute white lady and negro woman
sat at the same table writing together.

and his action have been endorsed by

bread: Come with me along the high
way of success; humanity is not what
it was when you and l were despised
because we were poor; If you prove
true to me we shall work and win.
This is the key TO the problem; work
if out. EMERY STONE.
