To this letter Silpt. Tomlinson of (ireensboro, N. C.; answers : 1. No extra tax. City Council appropriates what is needed which however would le equivalent to tax of about 'JO cent on is 100 of proner- : ty.

Mr. Whitakcr, chairmam of Board says ho can not find a man who is not proud of the schoolsThe school building has increased prop erty 50 per cent. Wo have no oj position whatsoever now. 0. They have caused a great in crease in population. Some twenty men aro looking for houses for fall. Our tuition fees from pupils from Va. tc. amount to CO per month, and wo discourage everybody outside of town from sending. t t Tho following answers were re ceived from Supt; Joyner of Goldcs boro : ' 1. Thirty cents on 100 pf projer ty and 90 cents on poll." ! 2. The fund is not divided. Wo try to give each races equal facilities and the schools for each race are taught nine months.' It does not cost more than one half as much to run colored, as white schools. The negroes have a nice new building, a nine months school and seem perfectly satisfied. ' ' 3. Number of-whites 540, colored 400. ' 4. Twelve in white, G in colored. 5. The schools were voted on about four years ago under our new bill, and-not fifty votes were cast against them. I think they have given general satisfaction. This ia the 0th year. I think' they have helped ma terially to increase the value of real estate. The wealthiest man in Gold- esboro, the largest rcalestate owner land" therefore the largest tax payer I i" the warmest friend the school has. hen the school was about to bp 'suspended after the decision of the Supreme Court declaring the Dortch IJill unconstitutional, private citi zens came to the rescue and sup ported the school by subscription for one year until we could get a new .bill passed by the Legislature. The man ot wnoiu i spoke just now gave i500. , He owns 100 houses in Gold esboro and says the school has raised his rents and improved the class of ,tenants. He is the shrewdest busi ness man in the city and bis evidence backed by his acts is worth some thing. ; 6. Without doubt they have j in creased our population. I have a lersonal knowledge of this fact and could- name families. i ; 1- i Further answers were received from Wilmington, Asheville, Raleigh and other towns. I have not space to quote them but they are all of the Bame tenor, schools growing in popularity and material prosperity keeping even pace with tho schools. Comments on these letters and con clusions drawn from them will be presented in our next A letter from Supt. Finger to the writer dated April 1G says,-il trust the town of Shelby will vote a special tax for public schools. If they will do so and put these schools on permanent .ba sis, I ' can help them to l'eabody Fund for two or three years." ! W.T.ILIUix. fence your far .? j lion a coou uiv put it in duringSi4 a drill tHat does it as ir saw it done in America. ft tfp by the roots in May carry it to the thresmnjr noors, c off the heads, spread them over he threshing floor (a hard smooth place on the ground) and then donLeys blind-folded are made to trot ovor it till it is threshed; then they winnow it in the old fashioned way of throw ing it into the air. Another of the principal crops is gauliang, something almost exactly like our sorghum cane. The seed of this are threshed off and used for food. They either Wil it as we do rice, making a kind, of soup or grind it and make bread of it. A very yellow Indian corn it also raised. It makes a very nice sweet bread. They raise also a very fine millet. In the summer it stands in the field nearlyras high as my shoulders. The heads' of it are cut off and threshed as the wheat. It is used much as the gauliang seed, except it is a more genteel food. We have it very often for porridge and it is excellent. Sweet potatoes are also common, and especially a little farther west. They know how to keep them too. They are as good and sweet now as they were in Nov. or Dec. They plow their ground well and then break up all clods, and their fields when well prepared for a crop are as smooth almost as a floor. But their fiehfs are not large, for a whole village would live orf as rriuch as an ordinary farm in Cleveland county. , The people do not live scattered about on their farms as in America, but they live in villages and towns and then 1 farm the land all around the villagei They live more in large families than with us, you will often find several sons with their families all living! with their Ather. You think that is pretty bad for the daughters-in-law ? "Oh ! it doesn't make any difference with them ; they are only . servants to the mother-in-law and their husband." ; The Chinese are also very fine gardeners. Their gardens are really beautiful.! They raise most excellent cabbage, and keep them so nicely during' all the .winter. I see every few days large quantitiee in the market. They are not so round as our cabbage heads, -buj nearly as white as cotton and are more palata ble, than ours. They have also a good variety of fruit. We have very nice jKjars on the table, every day. They keep them till July or August. We had nice grapes the first day of the year. We get also a nice orange grown in southern China. So you see we are not beyond the. reach of something nice to eat. And nbw, while we have all these things, (though the Chinese have them not. in-plenty) they aro sadly in need of sometnimg much more important the gospel of Jesus Christ, May each, 'reader bear that fact in mind all the time. You have the high privileges of the gospel and you ought to esteem it an honor and a privilege to1 help give it those who'are without it. My father writes mo that1 many of Su want a letter from us in" every ission Journal. Their space is too limited for that.

W. Shooting into a Jail Cell. Parties who arrived in the city today, bring news of a tragedy in Wedgefield, S. C, last night. A white man, who had committed an assault on a little white girl, was shot to death in a cell in a jail by a mob. There were two prisoners in the cell. The mob finding it difficult to open the door; drew their guns, and opened fire through the gratip on the object of their vengeance! One hundred shots were fired into the cell. The man charged with the outrage was literally riddled, and his cell mate was dangerously shot.

Armstrong" at tho battle of Fayai,lind rebuked and resisted with - gnrai slaughter the English . men-of-war. Gen Jackson slid that the delay occasioned by this battle enabled him to defend New Orleans. Senator Sherman op posed tho resolution for the reason that the victory was gained by a privateer whose motives, ne imagined couldn,t have been sufficiently patriotic to deserve the honpr pro posed. Senator Evarts advocated the resolution. . declaring that "but for Captain Reid the battle would not have been fought, but for him the victory would have been won." Senators Plumb and Pratt objected on the ground that it would set a precedent that would be followed by a multitude of cases. A standing vote resulted in 12 yeas, 2G nays. No quorum voting it was laid over retaining its place on the calendar. The committee of the House on the judiciary in reporting the tanti-trust bill says that no system of laws can b !tOjed by Congress which could effectually protect the people against the evils and oppressions of trusts and monopolies.

It is not expected to become a law, but it has occasoined no little uneasiness among the retired officers.
