S In all convent ions provided for by this system, a vote is rapidly possible. It has not been thought wise or proper for this poor generation to attempt to a permanent school fund. During the years 1871 and 1872 there was a tax of cents on the of property ; after 1872 and moil 1881 the tax on property was cents or of property, and after it was cents, at which it now stands. In addition to this general prop- tax the Constitution applies least of all poll lax, both State and county to school purposes, which amounts to an average of about one dollar and fifty cents the limit of is reached exact amount is on each poll that is collected. The statutes apply now, and have for the fines, forfeit- and penalties imposed by Superior Courts Justices of the Peace, most of the receipts from liquor licenses except from the wholesale re- from auctioneers, article of incorporation Superior Court Clerks, and tax on dogs.

The is ex- citing much interest To day we begin the of a series of articles on the Public Schools of the State by Maj. S. M. Finger, Superintend- of Public Instruction. The articles will be found to contain much valuable information con- schools and should be read by every person interested in education, as of course all are. The introductory article will be found on first page. Col John R. Winston, of county, died at his home near the 7th inst. He was a gallant and brave officer in the late war. and served his try faithfully. Up to a few years ago Col. Winston was a strong Democrat, but he joined the Liberal ranks in 1881, since which time bis politics were stable. In intellectual ability Col. Winston was far ahead of the average man. Republican Senators are still fighting message of dent Cleveland, which so strong- advocates tariff reform, and a reduction of the import duties of this country. But no harm is being done by our enemies by these wild harangues. The mes- sage is unanswerable, the people are with him and tariff reform is bound to come sooner or later. The masses are beginning to think on this matter for them- selves, and it only needs a calm review of the situation for them to rise up in their might and see to it that the iniquitous war tar- shall be modified and a t many thousands of dollars will be saved to the poor people who are paying such large amounts into the laps of the manufacturers. Greenville is standing in her own light. To-day the business men of Washington will hold a meet- the purpose of inviting Mr. Bridgers and Mr. Walters of R. R. Co to visit that town and look into the ad- it offers for the carry- the road from Scotland Neck to that place. The people of Greenville are doing nothing to secure the road and if they continue to manifest no interest in it nothing can be expected but that the road will be carried elsewhere. Further argument as to the necessities of a railroad here and the advantage one would prove to the town is use- less. We have pointed these out time and time again. Now the business men, the people must move in this matter or Greenville will get no railroad. News and renouncing the Republicans and again declaring himself to be a Democrat. Mr. says that since he has been in Washington he is that the Democrats are do- all in their powers to relieve the people of the burdens bear- down upon them and that John Sherman and his followers are opposed to them. All men who will stop to think over the matter are bound to see that the Democratic party is the friend of the masses, and it is only through and by them that the country will ever be relieved. There is plenty of room in our ranks for all who, like Mr. Brad- field, awake to the error of their way, and we say to them come on home, you will receive a dial welcome. Sensible Man. The Raleigh Signal man says he always adopts a rule that he will not engage in a controversy with any one. Right, you are, Logan. Stick to. that, and you may possibly save your hide. If your exhibit of State finances is a fair sample of the manner of speech you would em- ploy in a public controversy, we don't blame you for keeping lent. Just picture right here, fellow-countrymen a controversy between Logan Harris and Jose- Daniels Unless Daniels showed mercy would have but little fur left after one round, and in the second he wouldn't be able to get himself together again. He that his tongue under such circumstances is a wise man, he be a fool. What Great Love The recent bloody-shirt, South hating speech of the President of the II. S. Senate, is quite indicative of the feeling of fraternity existing between the North and the South. The South has some few sincere friends and well-wishers among the Northern folk, but the rads up there don't like her politics, or her people either, as for that matter. Not much love lost on either side. Now it is in order for those of the South that have made their have been proclaiming to our people that the North and South had met and kissed each other, Oh, so fondly in one long and embrace, to come to the front with a stronger avowal of the great love of the great heart of the great North for our fair and prosperous Southland. We speech as a text for discourse. Let us have some more taffy. New Fish Game and Oyster Fair. The historic old city of New covered herself in glory with the success of her Game and Oyster Fair last week. In company with Col. Harry Skin- the editor of the Reflector left on the forenoon of the 12th mat to be present at the opening of Fair on the 13th. It was our intention to drive the country to New but the weather being very cold and our departure being rather late to guarantee the expediency of such a drive, our course was changed to Verily it was cold, but a close vehicle and traveling with the wind no great inconvenience was suffered.

At the procession formed and after pass- through several of the pal streets proceeded to the green where the Fair was held. At o'clock Gov. Scales was introduced to the assembly by John S.
