mand a better school than the ma
jority of school committees.
One of the drawbacks upon the
public schools of this State is incom-
petent committees. Wherever a
school can be maintained for even
months in the year by those who T
alive on the subject of education and
are willing to put their money in it,
such schools will soon become object
lessons to others and Will enthuse
new life among the people concern
ing education. Without ~the-object
lesson the majority will continue in
the old ruts and ignorance will pre-

the State. What is that Uneducated
man who cannot read, when he APP
prOaches the ballot-bOxes, to do with
his ballot, when no one is allowed to
show him which of the six boxes he
is to distribute his ballots in? If
placed in the wrong box his vote is
lost. Has he a chance to vote his
sentiments? Not at all.
Well, when he comes to register,
in order that he may vote his senti-
ments, if he is an old citizen or anew
conner, how is he to prove his age or
place of birth by two electors? He
can't do it.
If a renter, how can he prove or
swear who owns the lands on which
he lives? Any mistake is fatal to his
freedom. How is he to know what
questions a partisan registrar may
ask and require him to prove, when
it is provided by law that this sub
functiOnary may ask any question he
chooses without limit?
Is this submitting the measure to
the people,? By no means. 1t is a
great wrong morally, and a greater
wrong politically. Let it be under
stood by the voters of North Caro-
lima that no political minority should
be invested with the entire control
of the destiny of the people for all
time to come, with no possibility Of
their ever being able to free them
selves from the yoke of oppressive
taxation. Let the people pass this
amendment which so binds and fet-
tiers their liberties as to render all
future resistance out of the question,
then what may they expect? The
amendment provides for giving these
professionals still further power to
curtail the peoples rights. ''Write
the vision plainly so that he that

Alliance meeting at Hebron Thurs
day April -:
Resolved, That the Columbus

brother j. c. Balm for his faithful
anvas and labor among us during
such unfavorable weather, and we
recommend him to other counties,
and invite his return to US.
2. That our Alliance Business

FOE BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The education of the children of
our dear old State, which has Jagged
too far in the rear in the past, is an
interest which should be near the
heart of every true citizen, without
regard to party.
That there are difficulties which
are almost unsurmOuntable, n one
will deny. The last legislature APP
propriated 800, 900 to the public
schools. Taken as a whole, at first
sight it makes a very nice showing,
but when divided among the schools
of the State it adds but a few days to
the school term. And has not the
appropriation about reached the Con
stitutional limit? The present APP
preparation scarcely provides four
months public school in IA year, I'M
less at the cost of employing inferior
teachers.
-Four months schools Il year Will
never give North Carolina an edu-
Gated citizenship, and every private
school in the State bears testimony
to that fact. The private school runs
from six to nine months, because
those who support them are not will
ing to waste their money in four
months schools. The towns are fast
adopting the graded school system.
The destitutiOn is largely in the
country. A large proportion of the
country children have to help with
the farm work especially is this true
in the cotton section of the State.
They cannot attend school as long a
term us the children of the town.
Now what is the remedy?
Encourage private schools.
Section 81 of the public school law
provides that in any district where a
private school is regularly conducted
for at least nine months in the year,
the school committee may contract
with the teacher in such private
schOOltO give instruction to allpupils
between the ages of six and twenty
n years, in the branches taught in
the public school, and pay the same
out of the public school fund. This
is simply holding up before the peo-
plO an impossibility they cannot
support a five months school, neither
can the children attend school nine
months in the year.
Let the legislature when it meets
in June amend said section so as to
provide that any number of patrons
Of a public school in a district who
will add to the public school term,
three months private school shall
have the use of their pro rata Of the
public school for that district, said
school to be subject to the public
school law during the time the pub
lie funds are being used.
In almost every district there are
some who are awake to the import
ance of education while others are
perfectly Indifferent, and it is not
right that those who are awake
should be estopped by those who are
indifferent. The patrons who, with
their private funds support three
months of the school term will de

FIRST RAILROAD IN CHINA.
Went Around the Towns Instead of
 Through Them.

Mr Wu, the present Chinese minis ter at Washington, has many amusing stories to tell of the first railroad ever built in the celestial kingdom, which was constructed under his supervision in the province of Tong Chong, where Ii Hung Chang reigned as viceroy, says the Saturday Evening Pos.. Curi- ously enough, this road was built with out the consent of the emperor, with out his knowledge even, the pr 5eetorS realizing that they must educate their eeantrymen, from the highest to the lowest by an object lesson. The road once in operation, they argued, the people, understanding 1t was wonder ful servant of commerce, and not great devil; that it carried freight bet ter and quicker than the old-fashioned way, and would bind the uttermost parts of their kingdom together, would 10 longer oppose it. It's establishment, however was missionary work of different character, even to so saga cious a diplomat as Mr. Wu, and, though he succeeded in overcoming the prejudice to certain extent, ne failed utterly to gain consent that the road should run through the towns and villages that marked it's route. eNo, no,' said the leading men of those places; ..build your road if you must, but keep it away from us-the farther the better.' Well, we'll" said Wu, have it as you will. We will run our l road at distance from your limits, | but you will regret it for all time; and when you realize what serious harm you have done to your own in- terests don't come and insist upon our moving the road nearer your borders . The railroad was hardly in operation before the men who had opposed it be- sought him to change it's route that 1t might come by their towns and cities; but the management was obdurate, and Tong Chung received most whole some lesson.
