The schools of Burke county of which 1 write were previous to the enactment by the Legislature of a'law appropriating the annual income of the Literary fund among the several counties of the State, on the ratio of the federal popu lation. for the establishment and support oPcommon schools about 1830, which did not become effect ive for many years alter tne pass age of the act. The teachers of the schools previous to this were invariably employees by the par ents or guardians of the pupils at a salary agreed upon, or so much per capita. After the building of the old brick academy by subscrip tion of the citizens in 1823 or 4 on the site now owned by Major J. V. Wilson, and where his residence is erected, trustees were appointed and the tutors for a time selected by them. The first school that I have any information of was taught by the1 ,Rev. John L. Davis about 1815 My brother John A. Walton was a pupil of his. I have in my pos session an old manuscript in the form of a pamphlet. The figure: in the integers, sums, &c, are his ; the rules, examples and headings, such as addition, multiplication,! reduction, &c, in the handwriting of Mr. Davis. The dates given are from the 1st ot March, 1017,1 to the 2nd of February, 1818. A number ot the sums worKed. as well as examples, is the reduction of English sterling pounds, shil lings and pence to dollars and cents. This occurred in an age when a very strict discipline was observed and maintained, and the rules adopted by the master were imperative, and woe be to the cul prit who disregarded any one o them.

A hogshead of wine comptising part of the load was staved, by which they sus tained a loss of 100 dollars: How- (ever, the rest of the goods arrived, and which they immediately sold for 10,000 dollars.

Mr. Davis I remember in 1823 'He was very deeply pockmarked his face corrugated with wrinkles like a washing boardand his san dy-colored hair stood erect like "Old Hickory's." Six feet in height, gaunt and ungainly in .form, take him all in all as he stood, he was the ugliest man I ever saw with one exception (of him hereafter.) Mr. Davis, how ever, was much esteemed by his neighbors, he was entry taker of the coufity in 1820. He was also a preacher in what was then calied a melting house, free for all denominations, now the hand somely improved and enlarged Presbyterian church. I have heard Methodist's, Quakers, Socinians and Episcopalians, all preach and hold religious services in the old church. It was the oniy building in Morganton for public worshi ior many years. Mr. Davis was either a Socinian or Unitarian in religious belief. Arithmetical books seem to have been scarce in Mr. Davis time, as evinced by his mode of instructing. Judging from the manuscript in my pos 1 session, he invented or con- coctea an the rules, ex amples, &c, in the' manuscript and wrote them with his own hand for the instruction of his pupils. As a further proof of the want of such books, about this time a man by the name of Con way, an Irishman by birth, who had been well educated, and wh was a talanted mathematician proposed to the merchants and other good citizens of the county interested in the education ofthei children, to write, have printed -and bound an arithmetic by sub scription, a certain number of copies at so much a copy. The copyright to be retained ex clusively by him. The manu script being submitted to the sub scribers, was approved, the book was printed and used in the schools. I have in may possession one of the orieinal copies, in a good state of preservation, (ex cept the loss of the title page and a few leaves) which i .prize as a relic used by members of my own family three fourths of a century since. The book itself, as I think, proves its author to have been one of no little mathematical talent. One or two extracts -from the book will probably be interesting! to the descendants of those who aided in its publication. The old merchants after the Revolution,! in the different States, kept their accounts in pounds, shillings and pence, not English sterling, but what was termed 'currency, differ ing in value in some of the States of the Union.

This was the nly Presbyterian camD-cround ever knew in Burke. Although Mr. Silliman lived six miles from Morganton, he continued his min istration at that point. .This good man was Jiuch beloved by all who knew him. In some respects he was like St. Paul, he was noted for his long sermons, and although J never knew any to be like Euty chus so overcome, by their slum bers as to fall from their seats, and yet, not untrequently, 1 saw some of the shining lights making with shut eyes, low bows to the preacher at intervals. Near Cap tain Charles McDowell s home Quaker Meadows, about 1834, school was taught by Thomas Hill that had a good reputation, being well sustained and patronized by the McDowells, Averys, Erwins and others. Some of their sons were well prepared by Mr. Hill for entering the University of the State, ror a time succeeding Mr Hill, Wm. Lavender, a relative of the Averys and the wife of Joseph Perkins, a man eccentric, witty something of a poet. He lam pooned the young gallants of the time (myself among the. number) m dogerell rhymes and meter after ,John Gilpin style" on thei unsuccessful ettorts to win an en couraging smile from the lair? iones, by whom they were enam cured. These and other ludicrous rhymes were distributed by th author in the neighborhood fo the amusement of young and old ' FALLING METEORS.

The Times says : "We have at times expressed burl conviction that the revival of wild-cat banks and bank notes, which the Republican organs have predicted as the inevitable conse quence of the repeal of the state; oank note tax, was not a serious peril because, in the conditions of trade and finance in the present day, such banks could not keep their circulation out for any ength of time. But it is, j of course, far better that such experi ments, though bound to be short ived, should not , be permitted All risk in this connection can ( be! avoided by the repeal of the tax which conditions adequate to the security of the notes, and for this purpose the bill of Mr. John DeI vyiu Warner, of this city (house? trill No. 5,595, February 5, 1894), lo provide for a safe and elastic bank note currency has gread merit.

Dr. Mays is also quoted as expressing the opinion that t much importance has been at Stached to the value of pure, fresh air as a preventive of consump tion. In support of this view he cites the fact that "Icelanders and Laplanders live in dwellings in which the atmosphere is of the most vitiated nature, and phthisis pulmonalis is almost unknown jamongthem. Presenting a marked contrast to these people are the inhabitants of tropical countries. who uninterruptedly breathe fresh air by day and nieht. amone whom, however, the prevalence of consumption is widespread." That humidity of tbe atmosphere does not cause consumption, he con tinues, "is proved by the fact that Bogota, in the United States ol Columbia, is entirely exempt from the disease, although the .climate is very damp." Dr. Mays's con clusion from these facts is that "the secret of woman's compara tive immunity from consumption" is that women exercise the pex of the lung in respiration consider ably more than do men," the dis beginning at that point in a largt number or cases and it beine a well-known law that exercise strengthens an organ. Dr. Crutchfield believes that while there is a great deal ot truth n Dr. Mays s thereory, it presents but half the truth. He holds that 'whether occurring in man or wo man, consumption is large'y due to faulty methods of respiration. While abdominal respiration is the proper method and nearly all men have it, they, do not have it to tbe ull extent designed by nature Deep breathing employed to its full extent brings into exercise not only the lower part of the ungs, but also the apices." 'In leases of consumption in the male Isex, "the breathing, while deep, is not sufficiently so to bring into exercise the whole - lung. The apex is allowed to remain inactive and undeveloped. In the other sex the apex is unduly taxed.- It therefore, becomes exhausted and readily succumbs to disease. The therapeutic measure to be em ployed in eacn case is the same Practice the natural methods ol respiration. Remove every ob stacle that interferes with the free action of the midriff and the ab dominal muscles. Let 'mothers and nurses be more careful about children s clothing ; let them see that it is always loose.- Let teach ers discourage the habit of lean ing forward against the desk in such a manner as to impede tbe respiratory movements. Let all garments for both sexes be sup ported from the shoulders and not from the waist. Let the corset and tight belts be discarded Dr. Crutchfield calls attention to the fact that a similar theory has secured the support of Dr. G W. Hambleton, president of the Polytechnic Physical Development jjpamphlet entitled "The Suppres ! Baltimore, April 12.

BUSINESS INTERESTS BETTER. The steady improvement in the business interest of the South is hown in the total bank clearings A the first three months of 1894. as compared with same period ot 1893. The decrease for seventy- m - lone cities ot tne country was nearly 33 per cenL, but sixteen southern cities, including Balti more, show a decrease ot only 15 oer cent.
