but shallow well. The hill
should be slightly elevated, and

time with us to plant the In
Virginia we make a of two-
foot rows, and upon that ridge we
run a newly invented planter which
levels the same plants the

twelve Inches apart or as may be

good way to put the seed in would
be to make the ridge the distance
apart and size as before intimated,
and take tho mold-board off a
single turn-plow, run it down the
center of the ridge, thus bursting

The of this

a flower market in
Square. There were two other
flower markets in operation
bot they were situated in out
of the way places and their
were anything but at-
tractive. The idea of the new mar-
which is to be after
those of London and Paris, is to
give the consumers an opportunity
to purchase flowers direct from the
growers. With tho market
established Union Square, ladies
can combine business with pleasure
by there in person and
select their flowers from an almost
endless variety. The market will
no doubt become a great resort for
lovers of flowers, as it is said New
York can make a better display of
flowers than can any city in
Europe. Early morning visits will
be fashionable and the scene will be
beautiful The mar-
was opened for the first time on
last Saturday. For the present it
will close at o'clock morning.

to fit them for good and efficient
citizens. His argument on this
point we think unanswerable.
While our State is not doing what
it ought in the matter of public
education, it has clone well in the
last ten years. Still it is behind
every other Southern State except
South Carolina. The matter of
public education is receiving more
and more attention and it is to
hoped that not many years will
pass before our public schools will
be made equal to the demand. To
any thinking mind it is evident
that if the great masses of our
people are ever educated it must
be done through the public
schools. Every body knows that
our public schools are not what
they ought to be, and we may not
expect them to be until there is
enough money for that purpose.
One dollar per child for one year
will never run a good school, yet
that is about what is given here.
In some it is less. Oar first step
then in this direction should be

ever our present law is carried out
have a right system of public
schools, but the trouble is they are
not put into effect. The law re-
quires the school term to be four
months, and when the
is not sufficient for that, a
tax to be levied sufficient for that
purpose. Now who is to blame
for this Evidently those who
have the matter in charge, and
not the Legislature. Then why

did all their duty, but they a
step in the right direction, which
if earned out by local authorities
would lead to a greater develop-
of the public schools.
We believe it is the duty of the
State to put within the reach of
every child what we may call a

ed. But this would be the best
investment that could be made.
Judge Armfield said once in a pub-
address that the present school
system had in some places almost
entirely destroyed private schools
and caused the people to depend
on the public schools, and that he
believed it was the duty of
State to put the means of an
nary English education within
the reach of all, or abolish public
schools altogether. But neither
he nor any other prominent public
man is in favor of abolishing pub-
schools. When we take into
consideration that out of
white children in the State only
attend private schools, and
are dependent on public
schools it is evident that they
must be educated by the public if
educated at all. Now they must
be educated, or else the State will
suffer, and never be able to keep
pace with her sister States. We
hope our people will continue the
agitation of this question till our
schools shall be equal to those of
any State in the Union.

pork and corn, and of such other
things as can be raised on the
farm. Any farmer will tell you
that it is cheaper to raise his corn
than to buy it. If our farmers
would raise sufficient supplies
of beef, butter, milk and
chickens and other things, and
cotton for a purely money crop,
and not depend on that to buy the
yearly supplies, they would soon
be in a better condition. We
think it is the aim of the Alliance
to encourage this kind of farming,
and the sooner it is adopted the
better it will for the farmer and
the country at large. There can
more money made on one bale
of cotton at fifteen cents per pound
than on two at eight cents per
pound. Where then is the
and economy of doing double
work in raising and gathering two
bales instead of one If instead
of eight millions bales last year,
only four millions had raised,
and one half of the time and ex-
had been used in
something else which the South is
compelled to have we would have
gotten nearly as much clear money,
besides having a supply of the
necessaries of which we are
compelled to buy now. are
glad to know that the farmers of
Pitt and adjoining counties last
year did this to some extent, and
while they, for the most part
ed their supplies, they raised more
cotton, also a great deal of which
they have on hand yet. But this
is not the condition of the cotton
whole.
Most anywhere the South a
supply of pork and corn can be
raised.

ways as to make it plain that his

in Church
There was some excitement at the
Baptist Church Friday night, so
much in fact that it about broke up
the service for time being. While
Rev. Mr. Hunter was preaching,
some of the burners to the large re-
flashed and sent a flame
out the top of the shades, This
frightened the and
there was a rush the doors.
There was no danger whatever from
the reflector, as the oil tank could
not possibly explode, and all needed
was simply to lower the burners.
But the stampede for the doors was
exceedingly dangerous and several
persons came near getting hurt.
In any public gathering if danger
should arise it is always safest
people to keep their heads and with-
draw quietly. More people are hurt
in a rush to get out than by
quietly.
After quiet had been restored on
this occasion and many of the con-
resumed their scats, the

when tho police take charge, have
the floors torn up and put boys to
killing the rats. They had such a

A Good Colored Citizen Dead
James U. M. Jackson, a very old
and respected colored citizen of this
town, died Sunday night. He was a
member of the Episcopal Church,
and Monday the funeral
service was conducted by Rev. Dr.
N. C. Hughes. Many white people
who thought well of the old man at-
tended the funeral. He was a
federate soldier, serving as in
Battery, and received an
honorable discharge from that army.
He was quite an intelligent man and
in life held several positions of
trust. At one time be was Assistant
Postmaster here having entire man-
office, and no one who
has ever held office fried,
more obliging to patrons than he.
He was born in Liverpool, England,

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
In tho last issue the
we gave report of the first, day's pro-
of the Institute for the
teachers of this county.
Tuesday tho Institute was called
to order at a. m., and opened
with devotional exercises, conducted
Rev. A. D. Hunter.
Prof. first lecture for the
day was on the opening exercises of
schools. He said all schools should
have a quotation each morning from
some good author. In his remarks
he used a number good quotations.
His next lecture was the best
method teaching small children.
He had a class of children who could
not read and used them as
The next subject was arithmetic
upon which he gave some valuable
instruction.
After a brief intermission he made
a talk on tho length of the school
Constitution provides for
a four mouths school term, while the
average term in Pitt county is only
two and a half months. He said the
Commissioners in this, as well as in
many other counties, are liable lo be
indicted for not levying sufficient
tax t-j have the school term the
length prescribed by law.
Tuesday after another
lesson with the children, Prof.
lectured on spelling and pro-
Ho followed this with a
talk on physiology, in which he said
object of physiology was not lo
people the number or names of
the and muscles of the body,
but to teach them how to preserve
their health, and how to build and
ventilate their houses properly. He
advocated cleanliness and said it
would be as good a thing as could be
done for North Carolina for every
man. woman and child in it to get
clean and stay o for a month.
His topic for the remainder of the
afternoon session was general history.
At night there were recitations by
Misses Una Sheppard, Lula White,
Flossie Humber, Leta
Sheppard, Aylmer
Sugg and Master Elmer Barrett.
There was also a

Miss Myra Skinner read a

Murphy delivered a very able address
with the teachers and
were well entertained.
DAY.
The Institute met at and en
gaged in led by
Rev. H. H.
begun his work for
the day with a talk upon the money
invested in public schools. He said
that every child ought Us be taught
that this money is not given to them
a charity but is just that much
the State invests in them, expecting
to make return later years in
good and intelligent citizenship, In
reference h private schools and
colleges no student paid for what
education he got in them. The
money paid for at Wake
Forrest, at Trinity and at Davidson
would not begin to for th ex-
faculties at these institutions,
and it is only through the endow-
that they can give the ad-
vantages they do to students. The
student ought to be impressed with,
this and is done for
thorn by the Stale, Hie church, and
philanthropists.
He then gave a lecture on
with blackboard examples
showing easy methods of learning a
pupil addition and multiplication.
This was followed by a short talk
on spelling, and after a he
showed to children lo
and write correctly without
rules.
In the afternoon Prof. got
this information from teachers
Only six teachers present
of about tench in public
and private schools together over i
months in the year, and only four
teachers months; eight said their
school rooms had
of blackboard; five reported that
their schools had been visited by ail
three of the of the
District, six had not been visited at
all, Prof, was very plain as
to tho duty of Committeemen, as well
as parents, toward the schools.
He discussed geography for a
while, then lectured on when
and where to punish On
this he gave some good advice that
parents, as well as teachers, should
have heard.
DAY.
The principal work of Thursday
morning was examinations.
In tho afternoon Prof. made
a short talk about the
Assembly at then gave a
lecture on composition. His next
topic was the history of the United
States as taught by the lives of the
Presidents.
Thursday night a class of little
girls had a

letters was read by Miss

introduced and made a good
address. He always delights and
instructs those before whom he
pears.
DAY.
This was the last and principal
day of the Institute, and the attend-
of people from various sections
of county was larger than any
previous day.
Prof. began by reciting the
poem, why should the spirit of
mortal be the rendition of
which was superb.
He said that all the white school
Committeemen of the county had
been invited to be present to-day, he
wanted all who were present to raise
a hand. Nineteen hands went up,
about one-thirteenth of tho number
in the county. He referred to the
information obtained from teach-
as to the number of schools visit-
ed by Committeemen and gave some
instruction as to their duties. The
question was then asked, how many
parents present had been, into the
school-room and heard their children
recite Seven bands were all that
went up. Prof. said our
schools will never be what they
ought Committeemen and
parents take more interest in them.
He then proceeded with lecture
which was upon, U. duties the
people public schools, and
made argument that fully met the
objections raised to public schools.
He divided the objections into four
classes and answered each one of
them explicitly, convincing all who
heard of the correctness of his
His plea for higher taxes and
better schools was good, and he as-
that these were bound to come.
North Carolina has the shortest
school term of any State in the
Union, and only one State, South
Carolina, pays a smaller school tax.
If the tax payer would consider
what a small amount he pays for
schools he would be ashamed to
further over it. In Pitt
county there are not to exceed thirty
men who pay as much as
property tax for schools.
At the close of Prof. re
marks, Maj. Harding, County Super-
made some statements in
reference to the difficulties surround-
the preparation for the Institute,
but how well these were overcome
was plain to all who bad attended.
The results were before them, and let
us say hero in passing that the
brought much credit
upon himself by the good results that
were attained.
In the afternoon Prof. con
the two political parties
through the Presidents from Wash-
down to Harrison, touching
upon some of the principal points
that divided the parties, which was
interesting.
At the close of the address Mayor
F. G. James, in behalf the ladies
attending the Institute, presented
Prof. with a beautiful
made a very timely speech
of presentation to which Prof.
responded, and the exorcises of

With the touch of his wife's face for
the first time against his breast Royal's
emotions developed like a plant when
tight falls on it. Pity smiled and
aside her wings and discovered a
new born love cradled in his heart.
And at sight of it the man, in spirit,
bowed himself, even as the wise men of
long ago had bowed themselves at the
birth of love more perfect.
Her request had touched and stirred
him, and he alternated between longing
to let her have her own way and dread
f what might be the consequences. He
had gone over the situation so often that
his perspective had become confused,
and sometimes failed to grasp
the true relation of values. In that mat-
of recognition, for instance, it did

John Royal's face must necessarily have

as the nature of things made it
possible it should been, during

so vividly present in his own memory

The knowledge that they were not
was brought home to him, not by tho
rational exercise of the powers with
which he had been gifted, but by a to-
tally outside happening.
The all important day dawned, waxed
and waned as other days. The oculist,
a tiny man with a reputation which it
took two continents to hold, came and
did bis work and went his way, leaving
behind him success, joy and the
humanly speaking, of permanent
cure. For months to the utmost
care, quiet and caution were enjoined,
and then, if all things should go well,
the night of years would give place to
the blessedness of sunshine.
During the operation tho patient had
