On Saturday, December 31st, the School s Committee of franklinton township met at Franklinton and elected K. R. Levister to take charge of the white public school in Franklin ton district, no. 4. The evident, un fitness of the man for such a position raised a storm of indignation . which culminated last night in an immense gathering of the best element of the School district for the purpose of pro testing against the inconsiderate action of the School Board in placing such a man in charge of our children con trary to the wishes of all the people Mayor R. B. White called the meet int tn order and UDon motion was 0 T .... . made permanent chairman. E. W Morris was elected secretary. Chair-: man White explained the object of the meeting and after many ringing sneeches that" clearlv illustrated ' the determination of the people to submit 1 . to no such iniurv and insult at . 'the hands of the school Board7, a 'comipit tee was appointed to draw up resolu tinns exnressine the sentiment -i of vthe , t meeting. , - ) The chairman appointed, the follow- i6g committee: B. VV. tfallard, K.. . Gulfev. W. W. Green. E. W. Morris and W. D. Spruill. - On motion the chairman, R. B. White, was added to the committee. The committee re tired to the office of R.-B. White to draw up the resolutions while the con vention was left to enjoy speeches from various gentlemen. After a short ab seuce the committee returned and pre sented their resolutions as follows: To the School Committee of Franklin ton Township. . The white citizens of -Fianklinton District assembled this January 2nd 1899,' present the following resolutions : Whereas, you ha vejelected Kenneth Levister to teach the white - school of this district and whereas it is. well know that he is not qualified to teach such school; that he is not morally fit to instruct children, and 1V known to be addicted to the excessive use of intoxicants, Whereas, this selection is contrary to every true interest of our public schools and? the people are not willing to send their 'children to mm, now therefore it is " - - I Resolved, That the citizens here assembled demand that you revoke his appointment and that it any one ' be selected that he be fit and qualified, that the wishes and the interests of the people be considered and consulted and further . that the members ol this convention are determined to pre vent, thecpnsumation of .this : outrage and thevt exnress their firm resnlve not to submit' to such an imposition on evtry sense ot right and propriety.

On mo tion the convention adjourned to meet again on Friday night the 6th, unless sooner called by the chairman. E. W. Morris, Sec'y. i - - OTHER NOTES, . . Our correspondent from Franklinton sends us the following additional notes about the matter: " ' Tuesday morning , January 3rd E. WrMorris, one of the citizens commit teeeaUed upon G. N. Langley one of the schoST committee of this Franklin ton School District who, said in sub stance that he was not responsible - for the appointment of Kenneth Levister, That he did vote for him, but it was upon the recommendation of sheriff James I. Moore, who said to the -committee that he had known ' Kenneth K 1.!. -1 IJL JS'l. I' m ' j-ivisicr siutc uis cnuunooa, mair ne was well qualified and was a first class young man; that nothing could be brought against him; that he had h s certificate in his pocket, and that" it was a first grade certificate! (Signed,) G. N. Langley. ! Mr. Langley further says that he is charged-with saying that he would not vote for a Democratic teacher. (He gives this the lie.) He further says he is not satisfied with' the false reports circulated on him in the entire matter. We guess the other reports referred to is that Sheriff Moore said that Lang ley and Pruett did it; that he was chairman of the board and had no voice in the matter. They say that Kenneth Levister bar gained with SidIitchell at Pope's church that Levister in consideratfon of voting the fusion ticket tehould have a school. " - - - :. They say that Sid Mitchell did give Kenneth Levister a first grade certifi cate without anyexamination. ; i They do say that W. P. Alley, is taking a hand in the appointment of public school teachers and that he en dorsed Levister's appointment. They say and 'tis true, that Sid Mitchell county examiner did . say on last Thursday that he did not know who would-get the public school at this ilace, but that it should noto to fr j Acrdsmv. . ' ' .' V ' A' MATTER OF DIGNITY AS WELL . , ' ' AS OF TASTE. It is to be feared that this "era of good feeling," whi:b has already wit nessed a good deal pf folly, will wind op with a good deal of ill feeling: The fraternal words of the President, on the occasion of his recent "visit to the South, suggested to a fellow who bad more enthusiasm tnan bah ncs to pin a Confederate bedee on his coat a thing which he could not decline to al ow done without offering a reoun which would have amounted to an in suit, and yet a thing which must have caused him very considerable emoar rassment and have suggested to other doiikeys or.knaves the offering of re sortitions in Congress to open Federal soldiers' homes to ex-Cob federate sold iers'and to " pension ex-Confederates And now comes from the camp at Augusta Ga., news of a quite disagree able incident: of Christmas day. A Marfaand company ha i elaborate de corations in us -etreet and entwined the Federal and Confederate- flags in its decorations. Mai r .Jhipps ordered the Confederate fhe down ; and this made the men of the company so in dignant that they tore down the whole decoration.. Every true. Southerner loves and reverences the - Confederate flag and the Northern man who does not respect this sentiment toward it deserves pq consideration in the South; at the sarne time the raisirig ot it in a Federal camp is a manifest impro priety, which ought never to have been perpetrated, and which has caused friction in the camp and . elsewhere, without any resulting benefit. . The South can take care of its living soldiers and of the graves of its dead It will also treasure its traditions, and history and continue to honor the flag which for fouryears floated over it as its verv own i but there is no need to obtrude it upon unfriendly eyes and certainly no occasion to unfurl it with in any camp of the Federal army. This is a matter of dignity as well as of taste. Charlotte Observer. Well said Bro. Caldwell. The pride of the Confederate soldier is just as high to day as it was in "61, and the man who tries to lower it will get" no friendlv words from the old Confeds The Law for the Protection of Chll dren. . ' Chatham i&cord. , - In view of the fact 4hat so many children are left alone by their parents we deem it proper to publish . the law ratified February 2, 1893, which for bids parents to expose their children to this danger: . "The General Assembly of North Carolini do enact;,. Section 1. That it shall be unlaw ful for any person or persons in this State to leave any 'child "or children, .ot the age of seven years or less, locked or otherwise confined in any dwelling building or enclosure, and go away from said dwelling, building or eclos ure, without leaving in charge of the same some person or persons of the aga of discretion, so as to expose r4aid child or children to danger by fire,: and any person or perstios - so offending shall be guilty, of a misdemeanor, .and shall be punished at the discretion of the court."
