In 1875 the doors of the State University opened for the reception of students; public schools opened up with very poor equipment and of short duration. In the fall of 1876, after qne of the most intense campaigns eter waged in North Caro- I lina, Zebulop B. Vance was elected governor. Confidence was fully restor ed; lawlessness was less prevalent: our 'courts were respected and recognized. j The wheels of progress began to turn. . Manufacturing plants began to spring up in different parts of the State. 'During the V)nee administration there was marked improvement in the schools from the log house in back-) ; hovels to the highest institutions weie j wistely improved.

The I main object of these men seemed to be for greed or stjrring up strife between I the races. Our best citizens were de ! prived of their franchises and ignor j ant negroes arid base white men were allowed to vofe as a result of which j our legislative halls were filled with j ignorant negijoes. Our constitution was destroyed and our treasury strip l ped of its means. Our courts were de I fied and lawlessness prevailed in many ; sections. Tha counties, and govern- mem were domineered hy ignorant negroes and wite men with very little I knowledge of j governmental affairs. The public schpols were closed during the period of reconstruction white children fouri jno school door open to them. The Fiie'lmen's Bureau which took charge oi the four million was supported bv tjie sale of lands seized by the Government, by private gifts from the north, by taxes, rents and money appropriated by Congress. The Bureau in life! of seven years spent something like 'forty million dollars i n the negroes jin schooling hospitals and to support ihem in idleness. The doors of the unversity of the states higest institutions were closed. Some of our church schools in spite of limit ed means and sniall attendance nobly continued their session. Wake Forest a Baptist, Davidion, a Presbyterian, Trinity a Methodist institution. Our mails were irregular and badly manag ed. But notwithstanding the devast ated condition that .existed and the in-) surmountable difficulties that con fronted them our people did not de spair. The men whofollowed Lee and Jackson, Johnson and) others stepped from the trenches with the same zeal and courage they had exhibited during the bloody struggle, Jaid down the the whole of industrial life; the ol.lj the old spinning wheel,, the aches of the dye-pot etc., have been re placed by modern machinery; the old method of farrming has been supplant ed with a more up-to-date equipment so as to make farming both a pleas ant and profitable business. For the last half century, the progress of N. C. has been wonderful. All the com modities that are used in the home or on the farm can be manufactured in the State. Our climate and temperat ure are such that most everything that is required to sustain the physical life can be raised even from a huckle berry to a woman. J. A Francis. (Copj .-libt by H R.
