The annual meeting of the Board of

The first business before the body was
the question of funding the L illy

commissioners. Messrs. Goo. M.
Rose and R. T. Gray represented the
Lilly estate after considerable dis
cuss ion both pro and con a motion
was made to table the resolution as
recommended by the commiasioners
but was lost by a vote of 15 for and
1 6 Pgainst. And tben on motion to
Concur in the action of the Commis.
sioners tlie vote stood 16 agaiast and
15 for. Consequently nothing was
done and the Lilly debt stands just
where it did before.
Next business was the election of
County Board of Education after
considerable voting &c. Messrs J. A.

the matter of assessing lands
throughout the county it was decided
to raise the present valuation 25 per
cent. On Averasboro township the
average will be $4.50 per acre. We
would like to give each township but
cannot get it in time for this Issue.

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
To the Teachers of Harnett !o.
Mr. Er rroit : B - your permlss'on,
I would like to oJfe r through your
columns a few suggestions to the
teachers and friends -of education in
our cou nty.
It is well known that our public
schools are not doing the effectual
wor k tl.cy should and would do with
he proper interest on the part of
parents and teachers. The little
good accomplished in our District
schools is the cause of the, cry, "Down
with the Public schools," This is
not all due to the teachers. How
often are they ridiculed au d pounded
with hard names because of their
inefficiency, when those very people
who ridicule would not pay them
more than twent y or twenty-five
doll arsper month?
What teachers can prepare them
selves for effectual work at such
remunerations?
I believe the majority of our dis
trict teachers are doing the best they
can. They are honest toilers and do
not want your money for nothing.
If you would pay them more for
their labors, and then suppliment the
Public money with a liberal subscrip
tion ; it would enable these sacrific
ing teachers to prepare themselves
for, better work. But I did not in
tend to discuss the relation of patrons
to teachers.
Now a few words to yjou. my com
rades, in the battle against vice and
ignorance. The battle is upon us.
And like brave soldiers we must fight
it. Does it not then behoove us to
equip ourselves for the fight
It strikes me that our interest
might be greatly supplimented by or
ganization and united effort, " In
union there is strength."
Teachers, why not spend a week or
two this summer in organization and
discussion of plans and methods for
the work of next year ?
The last of July will be a leisare
time for all classes. Why not meet
then? Why not?
With the profoundest conviction
ilia, good will accrue to us from such
a meeting, I hereby move that the
County Supt. appoint a committee of
three or five to select the time and
place of meeting, prepare a pro
gramme, and appoint or secure the
speakers.
What say Prof. Parker and Rev. J.
A. Caupbell and others to this pro
position? Let us hear from you
friends.
With best wishes for all wno a-c
interested,
I am respectfully,
E. B. Jounson,

Proclamation by the Governor.
Executive Departmt.
j . Raleigh. N, C.
Whereas, the Southern Inter-State
Immigration Bureau has decided to
hold4 in the City of Raleigh. N. C.
during the mouths of October and
November A. D. 1891, an Exposition
of Southern products; and
Whereas, the-General Assembly of
North Carolina has made an appro
priation lor the purpose of displaying
the State at the Columbian Exposi.
tion in Chicago in 1893. .
And in accordance with the request
of the progressive North Carolinians
in Convention assembled ia the City
of Raleigh, N. C. May 13 and 14th
1891,
I, Tnomas M. Holt, Governor of
North Carolina, proclaim to the
people of this State tlie necessity of
fully co-operating with the Southern
Inter-State Immigration Bureau, and
the Commissioners in charge of the
Columbian exhibit for North Carlina
And I request progressive citizens
in each county to meet the Justices
of the peace and County Commission
ers at thejr respective County Seats
and urge the appropriation of such a
sum of money as may be deemed
neccessary to have the resources of
eachConnty fully shown to capitalists
manufacturers and home-seekers that
will visit the Southern Exposition in
this city during October and Nov
ember and at Chicago in 1893. The
State appropriation is not suf
ficient to make such an exhibit as
this State is capable of showing.
Therefore, I most earnestly urge
those County officers having the inter
est of the people in charge, and all
wishing to see this grand Stats of
ours properly exhibited to the World
to give this important matter their
most earnest attention.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of
North Carolina, and at the City of
Raleigh, this 22nd day of May, in
the year of our Lord, ona thousand
eight hundred and ninety-one, and in
our one hundred and fifteenth year of

Mil Editor: it is generally decided
in these progressive days by the
Spirit of the age, if a man cannot See
in the signs of the times, the approach
in the near future, great moral and
political reform, and social and reli
gious improvement that there is some
ihing wrong with his liver; Now with
your permission I will inform your
(as.nevs) that lam suffering with
something of the kind, and have
taken liver regulator, blue mass and
iuus pui.', wuuout rener, ana as
you have a number of good phisicians
in your town, which I hope will in
terest themselves in my case, I will
give two or three among n any of the
causes of the disease to aid them in
reaching a correct diagnosis.
The new'sl flies from New York the
metropolis of America that our na
tion pays annually $900,000,000 for
strong drink, $600,000,000 for snuff
and tobacco, 400,000,000 foe music
$200,000,000 for kid gloves, $20,000,
000 lb? ladies dead dress and only
$5,500,000 for missions.
The news also come from the Cap
ital of our nation that Senator Ingalls
publicly declares, that the Decalogue
and golden rule has -no place in
American politics. The news emi
nates from the capital of our State
that our recent legislature, .made of
men pledged to guard the interest of
the poor laboring class of people,
passed an act unanimously making it
posible for one publishing house to
suck $420,000 from the poor people
of the State.

man that believes in a special provi-
