AOLE ADDRESSES B Y. PKOF. :RA W
FORD AKD Rtr. J. 31. Ii.lIODLS.
On Tue'j lay the' IQ Ji day of July,
1804, there w qi t! a large
Icrowd assemble 1 at, Zion church. Me
Jiierrin circuit, in the interest of ed-
ucation. Rev. A. J. Parker, the live
and popular pastor, is to he e ugrat
ulated in making tfce appointment
and in getting together so many of
his people to hear of the work and
need of education, which is second
only to one work, the salvation of !
th? soul. The singing was good and
inspiring. It always helps to put
good music into ererytbiag that we
have to do. After singing a fe;w
pieces and prayer, Prof. L. V. Craw
ford, cf Trinity College, N. C, wis
introduced by the preacher in charge
and for one hour and a half, held the
close attention of the aadieisce.
The address was instructive, im
pressive and beau iful. I shall not
attempt to give the speech in full,
only in substance.
Prof. Craw furd said : The great
;qcsn is what arc we to contrib-
te to the future ana wit at are we
to do for the coming generation !
Our children ipuet lie educated.
The children of the Ktate, they must
have a liberal education. This is not
the case in all communities. Some i
people have a low conception or eau
i cation, ot it 8 need and it s worm.
The folly of maoy is to put the moo
ey into material things and not into
fL minds of the children. This is a i
great wrong and an injustice. One
reason why this is true, iafthat igno
rance is a source o weakness. Men
are powerless, and dooaied lx hard
work anl ior pay for the lack of
education. Iguorcce is the mother
of vice. Superstition and strong no
thins have a powerful sway. JSamp
son in his blindness, feeling his way
in. the dark is an illustration of ig
norance, lie who educates has no
cnception' of wljnt he has done for
the future. He puts a light in his
home, in the state and in the church.
A.nother reason why we should ed
ucate iie good of the state de-
mauds it; we should have state
pride. A man may be right at heart
and wrong in mind ; we have to pay
for the mistakes that are made
through :gnoraafe. The Bible says,
"Look ye out an ahle man." that is,
one who knows what to do. North
Carolina is one of the greatest states
in the union, great in resources and
possibilities, but is at the bottom in
illiteracy, this is the reason or secret
why we are not developed. The In
dians had control of this country for

numbered its philosophers by the

and its population by the million.
Babylon has long ago perished and
we' are studying its-ruins. Why!

Una learn a lesson from these twoj

I plod on and on. Our tate demands
education : man is to himself the
(measure of the universe, he only
takes in what he sees. The unedu
j cated man is like one down in a pit,
he can see only one star and so the
t universe is very 6m all to him, and

creatures of earth but creauires of j
Leaven. It is to reproduce tlie life
of, Christ in humanity. Ordinary
education lets a man he satisfied
with the things of (he earth, and
Christian education lift him to things
above the earth.

dience reassembled and Rev. J. M.
Rhode 9, president of Littleton Fe
male College was i o trod ace d, and
made an excellent speech that will
do good for years to come. Bro.
Rhodes said : That it was the duty
of the church to educate; it must
educate ur lose by it. There is a
difference letwecn secular and re
ligious education. Education with
out religion is like enriching the soil
without cultivation." It bears the
weeds and grass. But to produce a
crop that will be useful requires cul
tivation. The cburdfi ought to edu
cate and cannot afford 'to. neglect or
even slight ths great .work. To
eliminate education from strong re
ligions influences is a dangerous pol
icy. The Slate should educate.
More mor.ey should go into State
education. Our puhijc shoo! system
and our public schools should both
be improved. We do not see how
this can be done without more mon-
ey. we snouia nave nve montits oi
good and efficient '...public school
work in every district each year and
this cannot be done without more
money. Some plans should theretore
be made by which more money
should go into our public schools.
Our educational woik should be and
can be done by lHh state and church
and without friction. There are too
mny Uys and girls in North Caro
lina and he work of educating them
is too great to allow &:iy waste of
force by competition or friction of
any kind.
Thus closed a very pleasant and
profitable day's work for the commu
nity aud surrounding country.

On Roanoke Island. No. 1.
rFor th- Patmn and GVaaer 1
Thinking that the readers of the
Patbok axd Gleaneu might be in
terested in this section of the old
North Slate.' and th, a description
of a montlvs sJourn opon historic
Roanoke Island might prove some
thing newi I will try to give jou a
I short Journal of my summer trip.
Having heard much and read more
of Roanoke Island and Dare county.
Nags Head and the Sounds, I found
mjeelf equipped with gun and fifeh-
ing tackles fairly upon th way, as
soon as the business of nominating
o(tr count y officers was o(f. I find
that the first point of interest about
this section was. ita inaccessibility
from all parts of North Carolina. So
to Norfolk and from Norfolk to Eliz
abeth City I wended my way ; noth
ing of interest presenting itself ex
cept the beautiful crops which made
me think sadly of Northampton's
stunted cornfields. As to Elirabeth
City itself it is well worth a visit.
As all your readers no doubt know
it is the county seat of Pasquotank
and one of the leading towns in
Eastern North Carolina. Situated
upon the Pasquotank river some fif
teen miles above the sound, it con
tains about five thousand inhabitants.
It is a fishing town and a shipping
point for numberless small towns
further East. It contains numbers
.of 'lumber 'mills which get their logs
floated out by tug boats and so arc
run cheaply. The streets are wide
and regular and lined with large
, emg . the buildings vary much in
style from the old moss grown bank
building now abandoned, to the new
court house which is a model one
from the old stone mansion with its
Doric columns" and square roof to
the residence of the wealthy lumber
merchant with no end of cupo!as.
gables and loud ornamentation
there is every gradation. This ends
my railway journey and I take occa
sion to stroll about the town and
note the above mentioned character
istics. After returning to the hotel
and partaking of supper I was en
gaged in conversation with the land
lord who after sundry delicately put
questions concerning my parentage,
education, huainess and destination,
brought the talk around to politics
and asked, "How many third party
ites have you in your county?
'None," said I. "they are all gone
to the Republicans." "Well" he said,
"how are your people on the Sena
torial question ; are they for Ransom
or against him!" I told him I did
n't know-but that I rather suspected
that they were . At tbJs point our
conversation was interrupted by an
alarm ot fire and I went orT to see
the volunteer company put it out,
which they presently did, leaving
me to retire.
Next afternoon I boarded the
steamer "Neuse" and after a run of
fifty miles down the Pasquotank and
Albemarle Sound reached Roanoke
dock at ten p. m. Here I found a
trap with a Sery little Banker pony
awaiting ray coming and after a three
mile drive across the Island arrived
in Manteo, the county seat of Dare,
where I retired to rest. It is a neat
little town of some three hundred
lUllAWl Li l;o H "Ituiu "J
fishing. It is situated on a hay
which comes in from the Sound, aud
command a view of Nags Head
which lies1 three miles off across the
sound. Backed op by the high hills
of shifting sand which separate the
ojean from Albemarle the little clus-
tcr of houses looks very i osignificant. f
j I ehall make an expedition in tuat
direction soon and will try to give
you a description of Nags Head ia
