Making a SilkV Pcbse out of a
Sow'd Eas. , v : ..'
Among the most -despised sub
stance that littered the ' ground for
many a thouean J square utiles was
the pine straw or needles which fell
from the pine trees in the'eastern
part of this State', and in fact," the
whole coast region of. the Southern
States. from Virginia to Louisiana."
There was an annual fall ' of v these
leaves which laid upon the gror.ftvl
to th e depth of several inched, and
which:" would have increased in
depth indefinitely but for-rthe an

the piney woods sheep and cattle.
No use was found for it except to
litter stalls and pens, .'and aid" in
giving body to sowmewhat unrelia
ble compost heaps. Without lire, the
pine straw was as indestructible as
the nut grass, the great pest of the?ni 258 of the school law, you will see
sandhill gardenders: and until with
in a few years, that substance had
an little prospect of utility as the
thistle down which the autumn
winds scatter to the air.
Now there is a change; and the
despised pine straw has proved to
be a valuable textile fabric, conver
tible into a beautibnl article of house
hold use; unlike all other articles
for similar purpose, healthful in its
manufacture, and a creator of health
in its application . ;"
borne ye.trs ago attention ras
drawn to the possibility of conver
ting pine straw to some useful pur-
Eose; at first by crushing it and
ringing into shape for filling mat
tresses, stunmg horse collars, &c
A fair degree of success attended the
effort, and a stimulus was given to
farther efforts of ingenuity, and : at
length machinery was invented
which converted the L inflexible
needles into pliant vfibre, submis
siveto the mandates of the loom,
susceptible; of ; the ; adornments of
dj e stuffs, and convertible with ar
tides both useful and ornamental.

Mr. Jno. W.SUrrnet,.Co.SpLr .r
AshevOUtN. C
Dear Sir . Yours of 28th nit has been
received. By examining sections 2578
that school committees are bodies cor
porate for the purpose of receiving, hold
ing sou amirotvmg Bites buu kuuui
houses "in the interests of public schools
and the cause of education. This control
extends to the care and custoii o( b'v.k.-,
apparatus and all other property that
belongs to their respective districts.
Church and State are separate in this
country, and of course it is not contem-
Elatod that public school-houses should
e made regular places of worship. If this
were allowed, the tendency would be to
foment denomenational strife, and
damage t he school interests. While this
is so, it is customary in many neighbor
hoods for the committees to allow the
temporary use of school-houses for public
worship. This I think they may do
without violating the law, bat in doing
so they must not lose sight of the fact
that they are responsible for the safe
keeping of not only the houses but also
of all books, charts, maps and other
school property. It is difficult to lay
down any rule by which committees
should be guided in this matter, but I
venture to suggest that they ought to con
sider the objections of even a minority
of the citizens of the district. The com
mittees, as committees, are to have no
other purpose than to farther the public
Bchool interests; they mast therefore
avoid any line of conduct that will breed
dissensions among the patrons of the
school. ' Especially daring the school
terms, they must forbid anything that
would interfere with the orderly and
regular exercises of the school, within
limits above laid down, I think commit
tees may grant the temporary use of
school bouses for public worship. '
