In no well conducted country school can children be found actirg in a manner to disturb those who wish to study. Years ago children were allowed to whisp er, exchange seats, mark the school property, climb over desks, and do a thousand and one things that would disturb the school. But ..the country school of to-day quite a different thing. Occasion- ally a person who does hot know i i -i mi i. i f how to govern it will cret chanre of a school, but not often. . " A few teachers of private schools can yet be found who speak dispar agingly of the work done by the public schools; but it is generally those who have been unable to se cure work in the public schools for lack of efficiency, ability to govern or tact for teaching who try to ....... , umw memseives up uy pulling uown tno scnoois in wnicn nineteen Carolina receive all tne sefiooling tliey ever get. It is nauseating, and excites our deepest sympathy tor tho boys and girls under his . . .l cnarge, to near a young man whose 1. . . j , "i"JLil xv liiimi i and to teach his pupils patriotism, who has rubbed his head against some eoiiecre wan lust lon. enough to cause it to swell ..... ! out of all proportions, a disease commonly called "Bighead," be rating the public school teachers and their work, especially when a majority of the public school teachers are doing much better! work than their would bo critics. What to plant this year is a ' perplexing question with most of our Southern farmers. Certainly they cannot raiije cotton at four and a half cents per pound, the present price, because tlmt is not the cost of production. Our soil v i i , . is well adapted to corn, but we have but little market for that, and peanuts will not sell for hardly enough to pay transportation charges. We can grow almost every crop on the agricultural list, but all products of the farm are so low that there is no profit in farm ing. The farmer who is in debt will have a hard time meeting bis obligations. Many argue that cot ton is our only money crop, and that we are compelled to stick to it, regardless of the price, but when the prico of it falls below what is cost to produce and market it, its cultivation should be discontinued, or the area planted greatly re duced. That tne present depressed condition of the farmer is due largely to legislation there seems to be do doubt; but there are no prospects for relief from that source ins the near future and the farmer v. ill have to make the best of the situation he can and trust to the future for relief! To Teachers. The superintendent of public instruction is now visiting the schools and may drop in to see you at any time when you least ex pect him. He expects to find you maintaining good order without . A.' any special eltort while he is present, and the floor of your school room- reasonably clean; the books, slates and wearing apparel at their proper places; the schoo 'property to show signs of being well preserved; or else to have you explain the reason why with out askinsr: to find the school grounds presenting a neat ap- IKjamuco and the ornamental trees well xreserved or to know the rea son why. If he finds books and slates scattered all over the desks and room, the children moving to r and fro without being directed a constant interruption of the teach er while conducting a recitation, the children climbing over bench es and desks while going to the class bench, a constant buzz of conversation among the children, the school grounds showing.signs of a recent hurricane, a general inclination among the children to make your work burdensome by doing those things you wish them not to do, he will feel that you have, in a measure, missed your calling and may be reluctant to be instru mental in inflicting your services upon another community next school year. The superintendent is reasonable, and can make due allowances for crowded school rooms, lack of suitable desks, and, being an observer of human nature, can make due allowances ior the home training and envir- will expect" to find you trying umiuiiy to aiscliage your duty to tne children underyourcharge, i c .x .

The Seasonable View. e nnd tlie following in the Raleigh Press, and it has the right ring about it, having espec ial force by reason of its coming from an alumnus of Wake Forest We see from the Charlotte Ob server that the Baptist State Convention has apix)inted a com mittee to memoralize the next Legislature m regard to pompeti- tion of Baptist institutions (Wake Forest) With the Universitv W are an . aTiim of VnCo and we are interested in ovorv movement that is to the interest oi tne college, but what good this i i I commiaee on memoraiization can with a half a spoSnful o gray matter in their heads is bound to know that the University is not m competition with Walte Forest But if it were, it would be so much the better for it. Competition, the life of trade, should not be the death of edueatiWd enterprises, provided they could show cause for hvinur. If Chanel Hill should kill Wake Forest the last named owes it to the youn men of the State to crawl in it hole and die. All this memorial pusmess is a intiful whine, and it is going to be kept up 'until the fossils at the C . 't . . . j 1 1 , . . . I neau of the movement are out of the wav. We are a friend to every educa- uonai enterprise and particularlv to our Aim a mater and our Smte scnoois, -finy man wlio does not love the University, the Agricul tural ana Mechanic al CoIIoire. and the Stale Normii! School, is un worthy of citizenship among us. Charlotte Observer. AUCTION SALE. Having decided to iaove to Suf folk, Va., I will offer for sale at tlie residence of E. P.
