What a Virginia Man Says about it- It is nearly rime to select laud seed tor the coining crop.

About May is the proper 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 of the peanuts about ten or twelve Inches apart or as may be red. Not having a planter a 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 it open sufficiently leveling it, and leaving a furrow sufficient depth which the seed may be planted and covered with the foot. And as to the sufficient amount of lime to grow a crop I would say that a half too of good shell or invited me to partake of a the inhabitants were of seeing at; excepting it dined with them accordingly.

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.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Prof. idea of public schools is a good one. It is a duty of every State to look out for its own future welfare, and this it can do in no more efficient way than by putting it within reach of all to get the necessary 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 the appropriation of more money. section taken as a But laws for public education not put into effect are useless. 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 blame and vilify the Legislature when the local authorities do not carry out the law The has done its duty to that ex- tent, but the County have not done their duty in our the law. When the Legislature provided for four months school do not say they 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 common English Of to do this taxes would have to be greatly 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. There is litigation about to be started property m the city of New York valued at Something over a century ago three brothers, Edwards by name, migrated to this country from Wales. One one of them settled near New York and bought thirty- nine acres of land on the suburbs of the city. Later be leased the land ninety-nine years. The lease expires this year and those thirty- nine acres of land are now part of Broadway and The heirs of Edwards, of whom there are quite a number, are plans to take steps to recover the property. Many of the heirs live in the Western States. There are some of them live right here in Greenville have a correct his- their from the Edwards owned the New York property. Mr. V. D. Boon tree. Mr. I. A. Sugg and Mrs. E. A. are among the heir. There are also several heirs in Greene county. A meeting of representatives will be in Kinston at early day to forte elate plans. 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. The country owes Senator Faulkner of West Virginia a debt of gratitude for the great speech ho made against the Force Bill when it was up for consideration in that memorable all night By his holding the floor over twelve hours he prevented it from coming to a vote and passing. i And now the country will surely sympathize with him in the loss of his wife, and it ought to hold her name in fond remembrance for the noble part she While he was thus holding down the opposition his child was taken severely ill, and it seemed for many hours that it must die. But she knowing what ho was doing in the Senate Chamber, would not send for him, but let him stay to serve his country. Fortunately, however, the child did not die, but her course shows how thoroughly she was identified with the interest of her country. It may be that by her not recalling her husband in this critical moment she saved the country from that miserable meas- They are, and always have, been the best patriots in the try, and by her death tho country loses one of its best patriots.

If there are incompetent foremen and master mechanics employed why not discharge them and, it it is the desire of the Secretary, have their places nil by competitive but what sense is there re- quiring men who have proven by years of successful work their com- to take part in competitive examinations in order to demon their fitness for doing the work upon which they have en- gaged, in some cases, for half a life The workingmen are after Tracy with a sharp stick, be- cause of what they claim to be a violation of the contract labor law by Commodore Folger, of the Wash- Navy Yard, in employing upon of an English official, two foreigners as machinists, within a week alter their arrival in this country. Foster will be to this matter as soon as he comes back from New York, wither he has gone to brace up Harri- son forces. The remains of the big hearted democratic veteran, Representative who died here Tuesday morning, were taken to New York interment Wednesday accompanied by a Congressional committee and a delegation of New Yorkers. He will be missed the House. The true inwardness of the nation of Senator has leaked out. It is chagrin. There was a time when his word was law with bis republican colleagues in the Senate, but at the last session his suggestions were only ed, bat he was actually snubbed on several occasions by a majority of the republican Senators, and in such ways as to make it plain that his power over them was gone never to return. That was more than the old legislative tyrant could stand, so be resolved to go himself to es- cape further mortification.

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 days of the by seven little Miss Myra Skinner read a selection from Irving. Mr. J. D. 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 and a class of little boys on we will A well written essay the character of Pliny by his letters was read by Miss Mr. also had an essay Text Books. Col. Harry Skinner 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 the closed.

So Phyllis discovered in him no lack, being by her great hope and not rendered exacting by any self- of passion.

Besides, we've the margin of those six years, into which considerable change may be In which last statement Royal fastened on a truth, for with Phyllis all the time, as Mrs. Hart re- marked, had been too short for were put down to the inevitable growth, modification and readjustments effected of time. Phyllis was a sensible girl, wise with the wisdom of thought and nature, and she was con- scions of so ranch in herself that because of tho struggle in his soul, nor could he let her go unanswered. He lifted her face between his hands and touched with his lips silken bandage which covered those sealed eyes. and to tut her in i It has been said that know a an a man must love The phrase should be amended to this, know himself a man should love a and so it would contain more verity.

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 not to him that recollection of John Royal's face must necessarily have faded with the passage of years, as the nature of things made it possible it should been, during the latter portion at least of his absence, quickened by the inspection of photo- graphs. The dead man's features were so vividly present in his own memory that he failed to that they could not be equally stamped on 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.
