Illiteracy. Complaints are made in various communities in this country that the i proportion of illiterates to the whole j population is increasing. This is in-! excusable in a country so rich as j ours, where so much is clone to pro yule free education. It was at first ! assumed that the increase in the number of illiterates was due to an ! inllax of ignorant immigrants from j Europe, but this does not seem to j be the fact, the educational systems I of most European countries being! more s-trict, if not better, than our j own. In some of our larger cities1 the increase in the number of iiliter-' ates may fairly be ascribed to the overreaching a nbition of pedagog-; ues, the vanity and pride of school , directors, and the resulting customs : estabii.died among the pupils. In some communities the lower schools are more or less neglected that high er education may be provided for the few and that the town or city may gain distinction by the cliarae-: ter of the buildings provided for ; high or normal schools. There is a similar tendency to build costly ; school-houses for all grades, in winch i the poor girl or be.3 feels out of I place. 1 n our cities, at least, in spite of free public schools and in spite, in some cases, of compulsory education laws, we are getting back to some thing resembling the monopoly of education by the rich which pre'vaii el in olden times, only that our aris tocracy of wealth embraces a very much more numerous class and in-: eludes what in Europe would be call ed the middle class. But the poor are being shut out of our schools, not merely by their poverty, width compels them, to go to work at an early age, but by disregard of their wants and by vicious social customs respecting ure-s and appearance. It would not do in this country to re vive tne "r gged schools" of En gland in order to provide for poor pupils. That would be a mark of dl.-tinctioti between classes not to be tolerated in Democratic communi ties. Hut some relief might be ob tained by repressing the disposition to ostentatious display in the con struction and fitting up of school buildings and by discouraging exhi bitions of vanity in the matter of dress on the part of pupils. This vanity may be exhibited in the lower schools as well as in the mgne:, u.m - - ! conspicuous at commencements that ! school authorities are compelled to pro Libit extravagant dressing. The j boys do not sutler as much from this ! as the girls, but do not altogether poorer among mem are nungeu iu make great sacrifices that they may not become conspicuous through the meanness of their attire. That this condition should not be permit ted to exist is obvious, for n ment al education can compensate for the lack of moral training which such a custom proclaims. There are, of course, many causes contributing to an increase in the number of illiter ates, but extravagance in the con duct of schools, and especially pub lic schools, is one of them, and it is a contributing cause that may be re moved, and ought to be removed be cause of its pernicious effect upon the character of pupil's.

IN COLONY TO LIBERIA. Hough L'xjKTioiice of Negroes Who Went From Savanna'!. ''Green are the hills far away,"' but they are no more tempting to the browsing cattle than the allur ing inducements offered by a coloni zation society of Dirmingham, Ala., to colored people of the South, who were tempted to venture their fort unes and their lives in efforts to col onize Liberia, the negro republic' in Africa. Within two years this soci ety has sent to Liberia two colonies, the history of which would tell of hopes and despair, of plenty and want, of health and disease. It wotdd recite in graphic language the visions of gold and silver mines so plentiful that the metal was almost valueless, and of diamond fields where the precious gems were scat tered about like pebbles at the sea shore. Pictures would be drawn of cornfields and cotton plantations yielding unheard of crops, of horses and cattle grazing by hundreds in verdant jneadows, of beautiful and delicious sparkling springs and run ning brooks, of homes of luxury and a life of ease. The same history wouid also relate days of privation, starvation, lingering and deadly I i fevers, want of medical treatment ! and nourishment, of death amid the my little girl on the foot, and she most horrible sufferings, and would lost one toe in consequence.

He paid for the passage of his wife and four children, mother and father and two brothers and their wives. The pas sage for the adults cost $41 each, and for the children $21, and they, with others, joined the colonization party, the greater portion of which came from Arkansas and Mississippi, at Savannah, Ga. The 313 souls who comprised this expedition, about 200 of whom were men and the remainder women and children, were placed on board the steamer Lauretta, which had been c.hartered at Philadelphia by the Mi gration Companv", and on March 1st, the vessel got up steam and left port. The conditions of the con tract made by the Migration Corn-pan- with the colonists was to guar antee them a safe passage to Mon roe, Liberia; to supply them with food of a good quality during the voyage of twenty-three days, and upon the arrival at Monroe to give to each adult who had paid for his or her passage one barrel of flour, two barrels of meal, twenty-five pounds of mess pork, twenty-five pounds of sugar, twenty-five pounds of lard, fifteen pounds of salt, eight bars of soap, two ounces of yeast powder, and two boxes of black popper. In speaking of the expedition, Presley' Cromer said Tuesday to a reporter of the Washington Post: "During the voyage none of us had more than half enough to eat. We received no tea or coffee, and were given hot water instead. Our privations were very great, and my father, Benja min Cromer, died at sea. lie was buried in the ocean an hour after his death. There were two children that died also, and there were two births during the voyage, which made the total number to arrive at Monroe, March 23rd, just 314, or one less than the number that started. We were not permitted to land at Monroe for two days, for the author ities said that they didn't want 'American niggers' there. During these two days the government of Liberia supplied us with food, and at the end of that time decided to permit us to land. "After that Mr. Flumer, of Bir mingham, Ala., the Secretary of the society, issued rations to the colon ists. I was appointed to attend to this duty by Mr. Flumer. When it came time for the society to supply GOLDSBOHO, X. C, THU11SDAY, OCTOBEll us with the articles it contracted to furnish only 200 of the number jot any. Children were to be allowed one-half the quantity of the adults. The supply was ,uven to the first 200 names called, irrespective of ae, and then the supply stopped. Mr. Flumer took one-third of the provis ions sent over on the ship and sold them at auction. I don't know what he did with the money, but do know that he did not jive it to the colon ists. The Liberian rovernment did nui aut u, ai uutue, a..u u-u us 10 go irom iweniy 10 iim iy-uve miles in the interior. We did not go in a body, but in families, and went to different places.

"We scoured the country for food, but the only farming done where we were was raising coffee, and the cof fee farmers employ only natives at one shilling a day. We could not become coffee farmers, because it requires 1,000 m money ana ten years' waiting before the first crop can be gathered. There was no work for us to do, no gold mines to give us the wealth we expected to find, no silver mines that we could dig in, and no diamond fields for us to roam over and fill our pockets with the valuable stones. There was absolutel' nothing but starva tion, famine, sickness, and death, and all that those of us well enough to be about could do was to attend to the sick and dead. When a man or woman died we had no tools to dig a grave with, not a shovel or spade, and we were forced to use knives and an old cutlass for this purpose. We had no way of carry ing the corpse to the grave except as the natives do, which is to tie a stout vine around the breast and the legs and run a pole beneath the vine. Two men would shoulder this pole and bear the corpse to the grave, where it would be interred without a cofiin or box of an' kind. The grave would be filled up by hands instead of spades, and the earth packed in by feet.

Aside from the continued activity in the export trade, business during the past week has ruled quiet. Tra ders generally have shown a disposi tion to defer operations as much as possible until after the elections. Gold imports have continued, and the enormous outward movement of products and increasing balance of merchandise indebtedness against Europe favor a further inflow of the yellow metal, notwithstanding the action of the Bank of England in raising its discount rate from ? to 4 per.cent., which was expected. Mon etary conditions, owing to the lin gering distrust of the political situa tion, have continued unfavorable for the encouragement of business ac tivity; but this state of affairs is reasonably certain to end as soon as confidence shall have been restored by election results now near at hand. There have .been some sensational developments in the grain markets, largely due to the pressure for funds in the West and Northwest. Busi ness failures in the United States and Canada during last week, ac cording to R. G. Dun &Co., num bered .13-1, against 2t!D for the cor responding week last year. The cotton movement to the ports has continued large, and there has been a good business for export. Prices show a net advance of 1-1U of a cent per pound, owing to anticipa tions of an early decrease in receipts and good buying by English spin ners. There has been a comparative gain of 427,000 bales in exports from the United States so- far this crop year. Speculation has been com- I paratively quiet, the approach of the elections and money stringency hav ing combined to restrain active op erations in contracts. Domestic spinners have been buying a little more freely; but trade in cotton goods has been generally very quiet. Distributers have been indisposed to add much to stocks until after the elections; but sellers, anticipating a revival of demand when political un- certainties shall have been removed, ! versity of Yirginia. have refrained from urging business, j In Cleveland county, Thursday, a and prices have been well main- ten-year-old son of William Howard, tained. , col0rt;d, was fooling with an "empty'' Wheat prices have advanced 7J j pistoi aU( silot eight-year-old sis cents, declined ! cents and recover- j tor in lhe hoad wilh result. ed 21; to 3 cent per bushel withm the last week, At the highest point prices showed an advance of 22 to 23 cents for the -croo vear. all of ,. , .:f ,-, 'h(xl- ...:.,: sjx weeks The aotivitv of lh lhe activity 01 the ex port trade upon which the advance wheat for the United Kingdom and the Continent of Europe, and addi tional shipments have been made from California to India and Austra lia. But the strength of the wheat situation attracted speculation, the immense volume of which strained the effect of legitimate conditions until the advance was at least tem porarily overdone. Profit taking by speculators turned the market downward, and the pressure for funds in the West and Northwest enforced realizations which caused at times a condition of affairs bor dering on panic. Money stringency and liquidation in domestic markets, therefore, and not any real change in the foreign situation, were re sponsible for the break in prices. Corn has continued in good for eign demand; and while prices have fluctuated considerably in response to the erratic movement of wheat values, the net change for the week has been comparatively small. The effect of money stringency is appar ent in a drop of 11 cents in cash prices in Chicago, while the Decem ber option has receded only i of a cent. The interior movement of all grains under stimulus of the big ex port demand has been larger, and railroad facilities have been taxed to the utmost to carry the grain to commercial centres. Ocean freight I rates have further advanced, and available tonnage is engaged for months ahead at all Atlantic and Gulf ports. The situation indicates a continued active export movement that is likely to absorb all the wheat and flour which the United States will have to spare during the crop year, and which will probably carry the record of exports of corn and oats above that of any previous year. Export trade in provisions has con tinued active; but speculative inter est has been less pronounced in hog products than in grain. Changes in prices of the former have been small.
