NORTH CAROLINA IN OUR
SCHOOL HISTORIES.

10 the Editor: | am glad to sec the
interest manifested in the subject Of
North Carolina in our School Histo-
rics.' The discussion produces the pleas
ing impression that some of our friends
realize that enough is not said in our
school histories about the people of our
own State. | have long been of that
opinion. Having from my youth up
been an investigator in North Carolina
history. and having some years ago some
intcrmission in an otherwise busy life.
| applied myself to preparing a short
history of our people for school purposes
hoping thereby to confer some benefit on
the rising generation Of North Carolina.
But | soon discovered that but few
persons. felt any real interest in the
subject, and never found amy man in
the State who would concern himself
with the publication of my manuscript,
while the book companies refused to
handle it as il would interfere with their
general school publications. The labor.
the research. the study of years. have
thus been OF no public benefit; although
to be sure they afforded NE pleasure.
which has been n sufficient recommends.

the thousands whose only hope for the

no presidents here to plead their cause
] tell YOU the educational condition
among the masses of the people in North
Carolina is appalling.
Build up the common school system
from the bottom. Lay the foundation

then YOU may talk about providing for

Another thing, gentlemen: Before
the recent election the managers of the
Democratic party were anxious TO Get
the State aid issue out of the campaign.
and they officially pledged to gentle
man whom they approached on this mat
ter that they would oppose and prevent
any increase of appropriations TO higher
education. beg of YOU that Won do not
enter upon policy OF appropriaiing
such as is proposed.
Put all the money at your command
where it is needed.
Il do not desire to appear in any I'M

tons. 1t is not in my heart 10 do So
Il appear here with plea for the
can he no extravaganza. You have Il
bill before You to appropriate 100000
directly to their Improvement.
II tell YOU how it is: how it was in
the last Legislature: They went ahead
and passed laws giving increased appro-
priations to the State schools of higher
education. and when the bill TO help
the public schools came up, 10! and be-
hold, somebody spread on the desks of
members a statement from the Treasurer
showing that no money was left 10 be
given to the public schools.
"This is all l have to say. have

Hampton, y. c.. Feb. Is. 1S9.

Hampton, y. c.. Feb Is, 1899
| 10 the Editor: | see from the News
| and Observer of the 18th inst that a
| bill has passed its third reading in the
! House on the 18th inst. TO amend the
/ Code and the law OF 1880 so as to re-
auire all applicants for license to prac-
tice medicine after January first 1900.
TO show Il diploma from a reputable col
4 lege having three years course.
| am surprised ut our Democratic
Legislature passing such a law. This
law will be known throughout the State
as the Doctors Trust Law" II is
direct slap in the face of the poor as
piring young men of our State who
would fit themselves for the practice
of medicine by study at home or else
whore, with but little cost.
| for one contend that knowledge is
knowledge. whether it be learned in the
humble log cabin or stately, reputa-
bic college.
This is II law asked for by the ply
siciaus of North Carolina, many of
whom never stood an examination before
State board. and are practicing with
out diploma from anywhere, and is
an effort of the Medical Association and
u
lima to keep young men from becoming
physicians and thus drive competition
from the field of medicine. and the hon
est physician who would ask for this
law, were it to pass. would stop tho prac-
ticc of medicine himself until he be
measured by the same rule that he re-
quires of the young men, i, c.. attend a
reputable college three years and show
his sheepskin.
With this law fixed upon our statute
books the doors are hereafter forever
closed to the poor rising young men of
our State who would by hard study and
self-application at home, work them
selves into the practice of medicine, and
in many instances in the future as in the
past. would he an honor to the profess
sion. But few fathers can prepare their
sons for the practice Of medicine if this
bill becomes n law. in fact none but the
rich can.
In my opinion the Legislature could
with more wisdom, better protect the
Democratic party by abolishing the State
board. and thus leave the doctors with
out any protection rather than pass This
unjnst law in their behalf

KERRIGAN SUIT.
Suburban Pays Damages
to Victims Family.

One of the surprises in legal circles
yesterday was the first settlement out
OF court of one of the big suits against
the Worcester & Suburban Street Rail
way Company, arising from the horror
of Dec. II, when two lost their lives,
and others were MANNED for the re-
maipder Of their days,
The suit in question was that brought
by the John Kerrigan estate to recover
for his death. Kerrigan lived but "a few
seconds after the cars collided, and the
suit was entered for $4,000, to recover
both for his death and for the conscious
suffering which he endured before he
died.
The court entry appears as judgment
for the plaintiff in the sum of 81, the
real sum which the kerrigan estate re-
ceived from the road being unstated.
This is the first settlement to be eff
fected in the long array of suits which
were brought against the Worcester &
Suburban railroad to recover for per-
sonal injuries received in the "Leices-
ter accident" so-called. William c.
