Letter from Judge Pritcharri1 nit Educa
tion. Senator Princhaiil recently wrote
a letter to an ullicer of the liundnlph
Teachers' Association as follows:
1 have your esteemed favor of re
cent dale, in w hich you ivoiiesr un
to give you an expression as to the
"value and desirability of education,"
and in icply I have to say that in
my opinion the itiestion of educa
tion is the most important problem
which we as a people have been call
ed upon to consider since the late
civil war. I am glad to Know that
our people are taking an interest in
the subject, and there is a gen. ml
determination to sueurc a iihhv Hli-
cictit public school system in l la
State. The people of'North Caroli
mi can make no better investment
than that of educating their chil
dreu. We have reached that period
when it is absolutely essential that
every child in Xortli Carolinusliould
receive at least a common school ed
ucation. When we come to consider
the fact that under our Constitution
as recently ainended. after no
one will be liermitted to vote who
cannot read and write the Constitu
tion in the English language, it is
highly important that we should
make a desperate effort to reduce the
percentage of illiteracy in our State.
As the matter now stands, 23 per
cent of the white people of Xortli
Carolina are classed as illiterates,
and would not lie entitled to vote
under the amendment to our Consti
tution. In conclusion, permit n.e to con
gratulate you upon the good work
that you have aiidcrtakcn. With
bet wishd and high regards I am
Sincerely yours,

The people of the State and the

nouncing the recovery, by Seawell,
the Uepublican-Populist spellbinder,
from a railroad company, of several
thousand dollars because some bad
boys of Shelby "rotten egged" him
while on the platform or premises of
the railroad company. It was the
Seaboard that was mulcted this time

rendered by the Supreme Court last j
week, is "the limit," or that "the
law is an ass" if this is law.

came suddenly to the lioor, smashing

cause of the excitement which he

by certain prominent citizens if not
he would be assassinated.
He encouraged his visitor to leturii
in the afternoon and stationed two
w itnesses ill a closet, who overheard
a repetition ot the proposition and
the threat, which was accompanied
by the tender of five $1,000 notes.
