Less Fancy and More Solid Work.

To the Editor: From three impor-
tant institutions of learning have come
in the last few weeks severe COM
plants about the illiteracy of the stu
dents, their inability to think clearly,
to make correct sentences, to spell,
punctuate. This does not mean that
college boys are a picked class of illit-
crates; they probably think as we'll
as their contemporaries who are not
in college, and they probably write
and speak the language better. The
charge of the older teachers seems to
be that the present generation of
youth is not, as a whole, up to rea
sonable standard. The charge points
to the lower schools. Perhaps there
is too much mature study and phys
zeal culture too much painting and
pasting of bits of colored paper. Ger
tainly there is not enough reading
aloud spelling aloud, and committing
to memory thoughts worth thinking.
The boy who learns by heart Web
Ster's Bunker Hill Grafton. speaks it
aloud with proper emphasis, and can
spell every word in it, is getting the
right kind of education. And when he
goes to college, his instructors will not
find in him cause to blame the lower
chools-Youth's Companion.

Fayetteville people are looking for

the Robson bar that he knew of.
But very little gubernatorial talk is
going on around here. All the can

the support of the county.

From present indications the La

Stedman for Governor.

To the EditOr:-There be many
things in this world that are strange
and past finding out, and one of these
is the reason why any Confederate vet
eran is not in favor of Charles Sted-
man for Governor. He is the equal of
any of the other aspirants in intellect
in social standing and in every other
quality that go to make up a Cover
nor for q great State like North Caro-
lima. He belongs to a class of men
that is fast passing aWay-a class that
followed their flag to the bitter end
and then buried it's folds in the eter-
nal memory of just cause. He is q
representatives of the Last of the Mo-
hicans" Elect him Governor this time
and when his time expires, the old
veterans vii ask for no more favors
from the State, for which, for four
long years they gave all that man
hood possessed. All the other claim
ants can wait, but Major Stedman cam
not wait. He will have to have the
honor now or ''neVer more" | have
heard it asked by men: "What has
Stedman done for the Democratic par
typ" At the time that these men were
wearing knee pants and hunting birds
nests. Major Stedman was fighting for
the very existence of civil liberty and
the white mans civilization. These
were times that indeed tried mems
souls; when it looked that the only
solution to our woes would be to leave
our country rather than submit to ne
gro domination. Then it was that such
men as Stedman came forward and
gave to their dispairing countrymen
glimpses of that hope that has since
eliminated in the fruition of the polit
zeal blessing which we now enjoy.
