' He explained the duties of the committee men, cleared up the doubts of many, and by sironjj arguments, and appeals to their patriotic. n, removed the prejudices of other?. Mr. Jones seems to have studied the subject attentively, more so perhaps, than any other gentleman in the County. lie appears to have discovered all the difficulties to be encountered, and zealously laboring to overcome them, is determined iflhe system of public instruction does, not go into effect, advantageously in Rowan it shall not be his fault."!
