North Carolina U perplexed. TUo supremo
court has recently mode b decUioa tbit do
ssnget their school system. I am sorry for It,
but maybe it is right—maybe it is. The graded
schools in this state are the moat prosperous
that I have aeon anywhere. I have visited
them and studied their arrangement, and
heard thepnplla recite and I felt ashamed that I
was so far behind them. The modern system
of teaching is certainly Ar ahead Of the old
field schools of oar fathers. Add np

tho teacher to a little ten-yoar-old. Ho atood

row from bottom to top, increasing with ovary

tho cashier of a bank could do it I strained
my own mind to keep np with him, but
could not. Next a little girl, and then I
other and another, with now columns every
time, and they ware all expert -and ready.
They learn this skill from cards
that have every combination of i
ben, and get so familiar with
them that they are read, for any numbers
that are written at random on the blackboard.
Tboso little chaps could all write well, much
better than I can write. Wo went from room
to room and there eras excellence in ever;
grade, and I thought to myself what a bleasoi
ago these children live in when education is
so cheap and so thorough—cheap to tho rich
and free to the poor. Professor Cobb, who is
at the bead of tho achoola in Wilson, is s
young man with a bright, intelligent fsco,
and seems perfectly happy in showing
visitors whit his pupils can do.
But as I said, North Carolina is
perplexed. Heretofore the whites hare taxed
themselves-to sustain the schools for tho whlto
children, and the negroes have had to do tho
same for their children. Thesehooi fund is
not common to both ness. And so as tho ne
groes have but little property to bo taxed and
never will have, their schools are few and
feeble except where they are aidod by col
buttons from abroad, lint tho court has
elded that the negroes are entitled
pro nta part of the Bind,
pro nta according to the number of
their children without any reference to prop-
orty. And so there is some rebellion In tho
camp. A man with no children submitted
reluctantly to bo taxed to educate other peo
ple’, children. This was hard enough whsn
those children wore of bis own moo and some
of them perhsps akin to him, but whoa his
money bus to he expanded upon tho negro,
too, ho will not stand it and hence tho graded
pnblic schools are in dinger. The patrons
will draw ont one by one, and lesvo the
achoola without money for the tax involun
tary tax assented to by each community and
they can vote it down if thoy choose.
Well, now the question is what is right.

If thoy could not got aomo education without

thoir education waa essential to the publlo

satisfied that education beyond reading and
writing and arithmetic is of any advantage to
tho colored race. Tha whole aystom has an
odor of ccmmuniim about it. I was conversing
with a gentleman whoaenda his children to a
private school and pays tho teacher, for ho
says ho has this right left him—the right to
choose his tcicher and hold him responsible—
bnt he pays his tax for tho graded achoola
and makea no complaint. But now, when
that tax baa to be doubled to tako in tho
negro children, ho will fool tho oppression and
will resist, for ho ia no advocate of doatroylng
the contented labor of tho country by educa
ting it. As I traveled to Now
saw the solicitor general of tl .
dal district. Ho waa a -hard looking
mulatto and attracted general attention
from hia profuso profanity and hlahragadocia.
Tho negroes in that district are about five to
one of the whites, and they elected this loud
mouthed hybrid. I am tala that the bar, who
are of the old type of southern gentlemen,
have no difficulty in keeping this man within
tha bounds of proper behaviour in tha court
bouse, but it is certainly mortifylog to think
that tho autecratio people or New Berne,
the home of tho gifted Gaston and of Stanloy
and Vanly, should have to submit
to the like of this. Education taught this
man tha arts of the demagogue and the pro
fane swagger of the vagabond mad not muoh
else. I waa told that there is a new color
line in Now Bcme, and that it ia extending
into the interior—the color line between tho
blacks and the mniattoes. The tatter includes
all shades between white and black and thay
