Maxton N. c., Sept. 26.-Mr. r. Nc
Nein postmaster at Buie, was tried
before Attorney Mclean Saturday the
charge being embezzling money in the
form of a check passing through his
hands. The plaintiff, George F. Spald-
ing, Croatan, failed to show any
evidence of Mr.. McNeill's intention to
embezzle He was bound over to Fed
eral court at Wilmington under $500
bond for holding the letter addressed
to Spalding after the rural carrier had
gone out on the route on which Spald-
ing lived, Notwithstanding that this let
ter had no rural free delivery address.
1t seemed that Spalding had tried to
work a pretty little scheme for the
purpose of making it appear that Mr..
Mcneil was tampering with the mails.
and then, before bringing it before the
courts, try to get MCNEIL to compro-
mise the case by surrendering to him
certain mortgages and a debt which
the latter held against the plaintiff.

THE PROPER HISTORIES.
Daughters Of the COnfederacy are
Working to Put These In
Southern States.

To the Editor:-In response to the
able and timely article from Captain
S. A. Ashe in your paper Saturday
morning l would say that the Daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy have for some
years been working for the elimina-
ton from our schools of such histories
and other literature as. is written
from a Northern view point, and give
false and garbled accounts of our late
struggle for States Rights.
In North Carolina our leaders have
made it a constant subject of animad-
version that in the schools. both pub
lie and private, such statements in re-
gard to the questions at issue between
the North and the South have been
placed before our children by the
northern text books that our "rising
~enerati ton" is ignorant of the true his
tory of the contest for Constitutional
rights waged between the two sec-
tons ever snca the earlier days OF
the Republic when the Sovereign
State of Massachusetts, threatened to
secede because her rights were not
respected in the Federal Congress.
The late President of the North Caro-
lima division u. d. c., the lamented
Mrs. Olds appointed an Historical
successor in office, Mrs. Henry A.
London, to extend the work has in
creased the number of this committee
to include one or more members in
each Chapter in the State, whose du-
ty shall be to urge upon the SchoUl
authorities everywhere in North Cac-
DINA the necessity of presenting the
truth to the pupils throughout the
State instead of the partial and par:i-
san narratives that are offered them
through Northern textbooks.
The committee has earnestly en-
deavored to perform this duty by en-
gaging the cooperation of the State
Superintendent of Public instruction
and the County superintendent IN eX-
changing these incorrect histories, or
at least adding to the list of books in
use such others as are fair TO the
South such for instance as DR.. j. H..
M. Curry's Civil History of the South
ern States. Percy Greg's History or
the United States, and others.
Hon. B. F. Grady's work. "The
Case of the South Against the North.
is a full, and at the same time sue
cinct statement of the facts on this
subject But the most important
point of all to accomplish the desir-
ed object is that teachers of history
should be so equipped for their work
as to be able to correct mistakes. ana
to excite in their pupils the desire to
compare evidences and to seek FOR
truth instead of simply accepting
Whatever F'iske or any other writer
may say. 1t is hoped and expected
that the members of the Historical
and Text book committee in each
Chapter will have reports for the
State Convention, which convenes In
Morganton October 14th, of satisfac-
tory work in this line.

meeting on the subject Of Tick Tx
termination which was listened &c
with a Great deal of interest and APP
probation Or. Butler said that re-
markable thing is the fact that the
people in the vicinity In which the
ticks most abound are doing the least
TO exterminate the evil. He showed
what a loss the tick was to the stock
men of the South, as well as those
bordering on the Infected areas. III.

them to another pen for twenty days.

AS stated above, l might not, under

il necessary to make this reply. but
being Southern born and bred, spend

war devasted portion of Virginia, and
having devoted over thirty years of
my life to the teaching Of Southern
boys in this State, with the conscious
ness of having been always true to
our traditions, | cannot and will not

veyed by Capt. Ashe, and still more

be freer from Objectionable references
to slavery, secession and the civil war
period than others used in secondary
work, although there were many
omissions which we shall endeavor to

In this connection, as the question
may be asked what differentiates a

ry, ] may say that in my opinion the
former is not necessarily briefer, but
is simpler in matter and more de-
scriptiVe i'm syle, while the latter en-
ters far more deeply into the causes
leading to historical events.
In conclusion, l wish to say that,
having endeavored to answer the
questions propounded by Capt. Ashe,
this ends all communications | shall
make on the, subject. If the book
proves or is shown to be unsuited to
our purposes or unworthy of use
out it goes at my expense-and
shall request Capt. Ashe, Prof. Hill

line, Ct greatly regret that it did not
occur to me to consult them before

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for the
week ending Monday, September 25.
The weather has been generally dry
and warm during the greater portion
Of the. week and favorable for farm
work. except i'm a few counties in the
eastern district where heavy rains in
terfered with cotton picking and hay
ing. Rain was quite general on the
goth and 21st, and was very beneficial
to growing crops. Rain is needed IN
the Piedmont plateau, in the extreme
western counties, and in a few locali-
tie9 in the eastern portion of the
State. The temperature in the wes-
tern district has been about normal
and in the central and eastern districts
about degrees above the normal.
There has been a slight improve
ment in the cotton crop during the
week; it has continued to open rapid
ly, and in some counties the bulk Of
the crop is open, but reports of pre-
mature opening are confined to Bla-
den, Duplin, Halifax, and Northamp-
ton counties, where the rainfall was
deficient and warm, dry weather pre-
vailed; in the extreme northeastern
portion and in Sampson and Arson
counties the heavy rains have done
some damage to open cotton and re-
ported that the bollS are small and
the lint short and that there will be
no top crop, owing to shedding. No
further reports of damage by army
worms have been received. The crop
will be everywhere below the aver
ag, and in some places very light.
Tobacco is about all cut, and curins
continues; it is generally reported as
only a fair crop, and of inferior quai-
ity; much of it is burnt and speckod,
and the remainder lacks weight, but
has good color ard texture.
Peas. turnips, sweet potatoes, ana
late corn were benefited by the rain
but in many places are needing moro
rain. Corn will be a light crop in the
eastern district, and an average crop
IN the central and western districts
Much fodder was cut and saved dur
ing the week. and a little was ruined
by rain in the eastern portion of the
State. Much of the peaYine hay crop
has been cut and good yields are be-
ing secured. White potatoes. are in
good condition. and there are fewer
reports of rotting; Sweet potatoes are
doing well. In the Piedmont region
and Of the extreme western counties
ii has been too dry for blowing fuT
small grain, but where the SOL is in
condition some oats. rye, and wheat
have been sown. Glover is in good
condition.; the cabbage crop is Il fail
