tees by the board, and afterwards adopted
in detail.
- On account of continued delay in the
construction of the building, the board
decided to begin the first session of the
graded school in rented quarters. The
superintendent examined between October
22nd to 2Sth one hundred and sixty pupils,
and gave them entrance cards, and copies
of regulations, etc After dividing these
pupils INTO various sections and assign
ing them to the proper teachers, the
school was formally opened October 2Sth,
1899.
Though this first session of the Able
marie Graded School was conducted un-
der the most unfavorable circumstances,
yet it was a success.
The school was organized with nine
grades and divided into three sections as
follows Primary Department, grades 1
and 2; intermediate Department, grades
3, A, ) and g. High School, grades. Z, s and
9. superintendent Lane was reelected
for the second session of the school, but
being called to another field accepted, and
resigned the SUPPLEMENTARY of the school
during the summer of 1900.
The second session of the graded school
was begun in September, 1900 Mr. Jeffer-
son Davis being elected in the meanwhile
to take Prof. Lanes place as superin-
tendent of the school. About two hun
bred and fifty pupils entered the new
school building under the most favorable
auspices for a successful session. But
sickness and disease made so many alb
sentees during the spring months that
the progress of the school was slightly
retarded.
Mr.. Davis being called to take charge
OF the schools at Mt. Airy, he accepted,

through the tenth grade
The sewing begins in the fifth grades
The cooking begins in the seventh
grades. Both those branches continue
through the tenth grade.
The colored schools have the same adj
vantages as the white schools. The high
school course is made more practical here
than is the course for the whites.
The school strives on the whole to
give a course which viii bring to its
pupils richness and vigor Of mental life

thoroughly those studies, thorough I'm

WESLEY CHAPEL GRADED

The only graded school in North Car
DINA that is located in a distinctly coun-

last two sciences, experiments such as
we nave provided for are made in the lab
ratory, and the pupils observe these ant
draw conclusions. Trying to give text
book ideas of these sciences is not the
plan. The aim is to train the power of
close and accurate observation and exact
thinking. 1t is training rather than ac-
quirement of facts. In other words this
work is a continuation of the nature
| work in the lower grades but for the
| fact that it is organized science work.
In the workshop the boys are laugh
to use tools with precision and skill.

GOVERNOR WORTH ON PUBLIC EDU-

The Quakcrs from the beginning were

Carolina The late Governor Worth,
whose ancestors belonged to the Society
of Friends and who was educated at
Guilford College, was always an earnest
advocate of education. IN his message
to the Legislature in the gloomy days
following the war, in 1885, he wrote:
Whatever may be our pecuniary dis

THE TARIFF ISSUE.

The split in the republican party
IN the tariff becomes more pro
uounced every day. Protection Is
doomed The democrats will be able
to change the complexion of the
house next fall on this issue.
Men who strongly defended protec.
ton two years ago are now insisting
on a reduction of duties. The abuses
of the trusts are too much for them
They see that these monopolies are
fostered by protection They can
find no better weapon against the
trusts than reduction
Reciprocity, Tne handmade Of Pro
lection" has set the republicans by
the ears even more than her mistress
has done. The old cry that the party
is in danger is likely to avail less this
year than ever before. The indepen
dent voters are growing greater in
number each year, especially in the
North. There are rcie republicans
who are not afraid to vote a demo
cratic ticket when the views fol
which the ticket stands are their own
The tariff IS bound to be the over
shadowing issue at the next genera
elections. On it the democrats are
sure to win.

The general regret when comes

best evidence of the fact that Judge

not only regarded as among the ablest

There Is no doubling the fact that

whole are against it.

There was another advance IN hog prices

hogs, and they are willing TO pay a good
price for them. but the advance does not
seem to increase the receipts. There was

yesterday were only fair mixed packers.

good fat hogs. and they viii bring such
prices as viii not leave z margin for profit

should be borne in mind thar the hogs
sell on their merits. and these common
hogs wiz not bring near the price Of good
