Preddy (11) and Silvers (10) College (Continued from Page 1) died a year later of a disease called "bilious fever". But, before his death, the head master had accumulated some degree of wealth and popularity. He had also, affected the lives of the students who had passed through his classrooms. One such student wrote him in a letter received a short time before his death, "...twas you, sir, who not only informed me how essential a good education is but taught me by..-.perserverence and pecular (sic) applica tion to my study I might after no lengthy space of time reap the Golden Harvest, and who gave me so many valuable precepts whereby I might attain the Goal of Decency and Decorum...". As testament to his growing wealth, is the following written in a friend's diary in 1808: "Mr. Dickinson has acquired a very decent little estate since he first came here four years ago. He thinks himself between six and seven thousand dollars. The first year he had about seven hundred dollars-the next, the avails of his school 1000 dlls-the next they amounted to 1500 and the last year 1200. Besides this too he pays an Usher (Mayhew from Williams College) 300 dlls. But he has improved opportunities to speculate by lending some 600 dlls cash to a young sportsman and taking a bond for 1000 dlls. Till lately he owned a house and farm of more than 300 acres, six slaves, and a quantity of stock, as horses, sheep and cattle. Lately he sold his land for 4000 dlls. which was 1000 more than it cost him. He now keeps a Gig, two horses and a servant or two and designs in the spring to visit Conn. in this style". The foregoing plainly shows that Matthew Dickinson was not only an outstanding teacher, but a shrewd bus inessman as well. At one time he was invited to dine with Governor Turner and other prominent people including the British Consul. He was also known to possess one of the most ela borate libraries in this section, frequently ordering a large number of .books from William Boykin of Raleigh. He was referred to as a teacher of great ability and many talents and also as one who gaVe full attention to his students. The Raleigh Register of September 21, 1809 said, "Mr. Dickinson was a very highly and very deservedly respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance". Undoubtedly the first courses of study at Franklin Academy were set up by Dickinson. They included the three "R's" and Ethics and Metaphysics, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, French, surveying, Astronomy and navigation. Qtaf and public examinations were given and parents and Trustees were present. Dickinson > buried near Corinth Church, between Louisburg and Warrenton. The inscription on his tomb atone reads, "Sacred to the memory of Matthew Dickin son a native of Somers, Conn, a graduate of Yale Col lege and first Preceptor of Franklin Academy, a man of talent, learning, and virtue.

Ayden Next: 29 Down, 2 To Go By Clint Fuller Times Managing Editor As in. the alphabet, Y follows A. This has been the way of things throughout the basketball season. "A" as in Ayden has held the number one spot in the rankings in the East; "Y" as in Youngsville has stayed in second place. Admittedly partisan to Youngsville, we still couldn't see the difference in the two games played at Durham last night. Ayden had its hands full' in downing a defense less Cranberry (Avery County), 67-62. Although the Tornadoes looked impressive to us, Youngsville looked better . The Dream Game comes Friday night at 7:15. Number one Ayden will get a chance to prove it. Youngsville will get the chance to change the alphabet. Four of the Tornadoes scored in double figures ih their game Wed nesday night. Paul Miller had 23 points; Tony Dai I had 12 and Hubert worthington and Louis Tripp each had 11. It appears the Tornadoes have a well-balanced team, much like Youngsville. Ayden will have to set up some defense against Larry Paschall after his 41 point effort, which Ayden watched with admiring eyes. Doing this, the Tornadoes will leave another Phantom open and, knowing how the Phantoms work, there will be anothei one there to take up the slack. Youngsville has generally enjoyed at least four starters hitting in double figures dur ing the season and seemingly they have taken turns on who would be high scorer. Obviously, Wednesday night was Larry Paschall night. Whose night will Friday be? I ftlaAiiti Wjelt Qampcuuf WELL BORING - DEEP WELL DRILLING WARRENTON. N. C. "A Well A Day- Tie Marti. W?," N. C.
