SOME DATES.

1t IS singular how feH people can in a
ehort time answer a question relating
to the time Of the change in the Con
stitution. This was particularly appar-
ent In 1s9S-1900 when the lawyers were
framing the constitutional amendment.
and it was the uppermost topic for dis
cussion. The Secretary OF State, Col. J.
Bryan Grimes, has compiled the most
important dates, which are published
below:

1875.

airy, 1896.

AN INSULT TO TIE B,R

1here are a few shyster lawyers in
North Carolina who deserve to he de-
nounced, for example those who assist
law agents Of the Southern railway in
their attempt to bribe jurors-the sort
OF lawyers In railroad fellowship with the
Morning Post, Of Raleigh. But there are
le" SUCH lawyers in North Carolina.
Most or the members of the profession are
men Of integrity. not only an honor to
the bar but to the whole State as we'll,
foremost in every good word @and work,
calling for patriotism and public spirit.
This thought was suggested by this para
sraph in a private letter from one of the
first lawyers n the State, as honest a
nan as lives:
did you see the insult 10 the bar Of
the State contained in an editorial sQuib
in the Post of yesterday, list? Go not
know when I have seen a thing that
made me more indignant"
The squib that made this honest law
yer indignant was as follows:
Here are two, of q kind and both very
timely.
W clip from the Durham Herald:
IF every lawyer in this State who had
tipped a witness or worked a Juror should
be sent to the penitentiary an enlarge
IL ent of that institution would be neces-
sary."
For a long time it has seemed to US
that a railroad stood a poor show be-
fore the average jury. and knowing this
the railroads cannot be too particular in
the management Of their cases. as Incl
dents that might appear trivial to the
pnbi2 sed mind are taken Up eagerly by
the enemy and L ado much OF to their
lIldoirg."
Since the lawyers of the State did all
they could to defeat tho Morning Posts
attempt to make Daniel L. Russell Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, that rarer

THE NEGRO AND AFRICA.

There is a sentiment among many peo-
pie Of both races that the hand Of Provi-
Gence brought the negro to America "a
a superstitious slave that he might be
educated and Christianized to the end
that he could return to and be the leader
of the millions OF negroes who sit In
ignorance and darkness in Africa. Very
few educated negroes have believed this
to be the mission of the negro OF today.
and fewer still have put it into practice
But there are many who believe that the
destiny Of the negro race is to return to
Africa and Iift up the benighted dwellers
on the Dark Continent. They will
be strengthened in their belief that such
ought to be the mission of the educated
negro by the accounts Of the speech Of
Rev. DR.. Geo. H. Rose, a native Of Sierra
Leone, made in Philadelphia a few days
ago. He is reported as saying:
"a public scho system in Africa, for
Africans, to be taught by Africans is
the only way to educate and ChristianiZe
the Dark Continent
Il fear there is a mistaken idea exist
ing that there is only a dark and heather
side of Africa. The advocates OF the re-
demptiOn Of Africa never have thought it
worth while to present the civilized side
OF Africa. But there is one, and it as pro-
nOunced as that of any country In the
world. Bishop II. NJ. Turner, of Georgia,
III advocating his plan to deport the ne
groes Ia this country to Africa, is not far
wrong, and is the only mar that has WISH
ted my country, returned to America and
reported what he saw IN a favorable
light. He declares that all Africa needs
is capable teachers, fit to lead. Africa
has three hundred million natives who
have not seen a missionary or heard OF
Jesus. This condition, 1t has been proven.
can be rcmedied only through the natives
themselves. 1 believe Soc intends that
the principles of civilization are to be
taught by the black man to the black
nan.
"The negro in America should have, and
must take. q personal interest and re-
sponsibility In the redemption Of Africa
for sooner or later he may want to- live
there himself, for he lis apart from the
destiny of the American people"
Before TIE war there were not a few
;~iavc-oWners who sent their slaves to
Liberia, after setting them free. The
did not believe in slavery but they did
not rellhve the negro could live here free

people. Tho Societies having the e.xpor-

sUPr BROOKS ON TIE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

There appeared en- December 1st. in
the Sunday edition Of the News and Oh
server, the first Of a series Of articles on
the public school question by Superin-
tendent 6. c. Brooks, OF the Monroe
graded schools, and he takes as a type
the schools OF clarendon county TO
show what evils under the present sys-
tenn he thinks stands in the way OF bet
ter schools. According to Prof. Brooks
the first is the poorly equipped school
house, where the child finds nothing to
elevate his ideas, nc matter how low his
surroundings The next is the teacher,
who as q general rule, he thinks, is in
competent, being employed in most cases
because she Is a needy girl, having no
training and no valid recommendation.
But behind all these, according to the
view Of Mr.. Brooks, Is the one person
who is most responsible for these poor
conditions, and he is the County Super!n-
tendent Of Public Instructions, who for
years has been content to do a little
WIN, 49,
half Of his schools once, and leaving the
whole system to degenrate gradually into
a worthless machine OF routine from
which it will take a complete reorgani-
alton from the ground floor up to give a
new life into the public schools. In fact
tie schools must be created anew almost.
The above synopsis Of Mr.. Brooks first
article is given here for the information
of those who missed that paper, and who
will wish TO follow Mr.. Brooks in his
earnest treatment OF an important ques-
ton.
The reorganization Of the system is
discussed in the second paper en- the
public school question, published today,
anG Mr.. Brooks takes the ground that if
those ISOLATED districts are consolidated
INTO township graded schools, the same
money now expended in keeping up the
old four months school will run the
surplus will re left sufficiently large to
transport the children from remote dis
tricts. The third and last article Of the
articles by Prof. Brooks will appear next
Sunday He is me Of the most capable.
successful and cultivated educators in
the State and his articles are written
with ability and show that he has given
the subject much thought.
