Winston, President of the North Carolina Col lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Raleigh, rO&. at the Village Hall, Sat urday evening, delighted a good sized audience and provided an evening of rare entertainment and instruction. The sub ject, "Industrial Education for White and Black in the South," is one which has come to Dr. Winston from the school of wide experience, and he treats it with a master hand; not only as an educator and close student of human nature, but with all the charm and humor of the typi cal southern gentleman. Dr. Winston is a native of the State, and of a most distinguished family, his father being one of the State's leading lawyers of his time and the owner of many slaves, which as Dr. Winston faceti- and omens, sees "hants" in the woods, and explains ordinary happenings by the intervention of "speerits.' One who knows the negro thoroughly, can under stand and appreciate the works of Homer and Virgil, in which the gods intervene constantly in the affairs of men. These are stories of the same nature as those in which the negro so earnestly believes. The salvation of the negroes is in in dustrial training and education, for they are not so thoroughly trained industrially now, as they were in the slavery days. Then every large plantation, in addition to the field hands, had its well-trained artisans. There were two or more car penters, who were able to do the best kind of work at that trade ; one or more blacksmiths, who could not only shoe the horses, but could and did make the ploughs, harrows, hoes, rakes and all other farming utensils, and much ma tt C BURCH, Proprietor.

Dr. Winston not only grew up in daily contact with slavery, but passed through the perilous times of reconstruction as well, and through all his life has made the negro the subject of painstaking and loving study. Receiving his education in a northern university and marrying a northern woman, he has been especially fortunate in being able to consider the subject from the southern, and from the northern view point, as well, and as a result his work and views have attained national prominence. He has been a fre quent contributor to magazines, and as a lecturer his services are in constant de mand. I'inehurst considers itself fortu nate in having heard him, and an interest has been awakened which will make anticipation of further visits a pleasure. F DR. WINSTON'S LECTURE. The negro, said Dr. Winston in open ing, is a child. All of his ideas of nature and its method of work, are those of the childhood of a race. He believes in signs chinery that was used about the place ; there were shoemakers who made and repaired the family boots and shoes; there were masons and bricklayers ; per fectly trained household servants, cooks, laundresses, and seamstresses in fact, a very large portion of the slave popula tion were the equals in training of the best that have been produced since their emancipation. Moreover, there were many who were well educated in the essentials of "book learning." There were house-keepers who could run the manifold interests of the "great house," superintend the buying, keep the ac counts, attend to the spinning, weaving and dyeing of woolen and cotton cloth, design, cut and make the garments not only for the slaves, but also for the family of the master. They were trained, too, to be trust worthy. They had the greatest pride in the honor of the family. A deep aver sion and a constant hostility existed be tween the negro slave and the non-slave-holding whites, and in this connection I recall a song which the negroes used to sing with great gusto, accompanied by jig A
