PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Interest in public education has
quickened throughout the State.
Several towns recently voted in favor
of taxation for school purposes-to
establish graded schools, increase
the facilities and efficiency of those
already existing, to extend the term
Of the common schools, etc. All OF
which is gratifying to the friends OF
public education. Briefly writing of
this hopeful and encouraging spirit
of the times. the North Carolina
Baptist says:
Washington voted 20 cents on
property and so cents on poll. This
with other income will make nine
months school for both races.
KinstOn voted to re-establish the
schools, which went down soon after
the Dortch bill was declared uncon-
stitutional.
Mt. Airy voted tax to continue
| the schools established under the
| local taxation of two years ago.
Albemarle voted an appropriation
of =, 900 for public school purposes.
Wayncsville voted to maintain a
graded school.
New Berne voted by Il large ma
| ioritv for schools for both races.
| Hendersonville voted for schools.
Asheville increased its tax from 20
cents on property to 80 cents and
from 60 on the poll to 80.
Durham voted $1,000 for another
graded school building, equipments,
&c.
These towns took forward action.
Graded schools, the creatures of a
score of years in North Corolina, are
getting such a foothold that the chill
dren educated in them will make
| them permanent and better.
The name of Henderson is con-
| spicuous for its absence from the
above list When will we awake to
our own interest in the matter OF
public education? Try to get around
it as we may, and neglect it if we
will. but the proper education of our
boys and girls is the paramount issue
before us-of more Importance than
the building of factories, of great
er value than the accumulation OF
riches. Give them knowledge, that
which cannot be taken from them,
and by which they may achieve
everything else.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BAY LINE FA-
CILITIES.

The GOLD LEAF has heretofore
alluded to the extensive improve
ments being made by the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company Uhe "Old
Bay Line'') in its wharfage facilities
at Baltimore building of new
warehouses, offices, etc. In recent de-
scription of the work in question the
Baltimore Sun says:
The office building will be three
stories high, of brick, with stone and
copper trimmings. 1t will be lighted
with electricity and contain an eleva-
tor. The first floor will be used for
Offices and for public convenience,
while the second floor will be fitted
up as offices for treasurer and general
ticket agent, which are now in the
Equitable Building. The third floor
will contain a directors's room in
addition to offices. The bridge across
Light street for passengers will be
an ornamental structure elevated six
teen feet above the roadway. Its
exterior will be faced with sheet cop
per. BY its use passengers can reach
the boats without the necessity of
descending any steps. The elevator
takes them to the second story of the
building, and by means of the bridge
they can pass directly through the
wharf warehouse to the deck of the
steamer. The arrangement also
avoids the danger of crossing Light
steet, which is usually thronged
with teams during the day. The
Office building will be 80 feet high
and will have frontage of about %
feet on Light street.
The plans which were prepared by
Msssrs. Baldwin Il Pennington, indi-
cate, that it will be one the hand
soonest structures of its kind in the
! city, and with the wharf and ware
house it will form decided improve
| ment to the harbor front Over
5000 worth of copper alone will be
used in the construction on the
bridge and warehouse. 1t is cal
culated that the entire improvement
will cost nearly $4,000 when COM
pleted.

The Philadelphia Record has just
celebrated the 22nd anniversary OF
its appearance as penny paper
The event was made memorable by
the issue Of ali extra size edition IN

is conducted upon high and

Under the new rules the onl y req

the applicant is supporter OF the
party and has a ''pull'' with the

Rccord puts the matter:
The evils to be anticipated from
this breaking down of the civil
service bars are the encouragement OF
nepotism and political favoritism as
tn" Necessary stepping stones to EN-
plovment i'll non-political offices.
This is especially unfortunate in sc
far as it affects positions in the col

service and the postal service. The
