UORE AND BETTER SCHOOLS.
Karti CarcIIna's Stasllag ui Needs Point
. "I; -. 7 ei cat. ,
The Central CampAvJZn'
mittee (or the promotiougvpob-
lio education in North Carolina
was organized in Raleigh Friday,
and Governor Aycock, State Su
perintendent of Public Instruc
tion,' T. F. Toon, and Dr. Charles
D. Mclver, president of the State
Normal and Industrial College,
were named as an executive, com
mittee. -
The organization was the result
of an educational conference,
there having been three sessions
11:80 a. m., and 2:80 p. m in
Governor Aycock's ofSc4 and at 8
o'clock in the Senate chamber of
the State capital.
Forty odd of tha most promi
nent educators in the State partic
ipated in the conference. They
are iu charge of 80,000 school
children, 5,000 in high schools,
and25,000in public schools.
An address to, the people, as
copied in part below, wus issued:
"No free government has ever
found any adequate means of uni
versal education, except free pub
lic schooU, open to all supported
by the taxes of all its citizens,
where every child, regardless of
condition in life or circumstan
ces of fortune, may receive that
I "We believe the future will hold
us responsible for the1 perpetua
tion of these unfavorable condi
tions, and therefore we conceive
it to Be the patriotic, moral and
religious duty of this generation
of North Carolinians to set about
in earnest to find the means by
which all our children can receive
that education which - will give
them equal opportunities with the
children of other sections of ourJ
common country.
7 Remembering that" in the last
year nearly 80 commnnitie? in
North Carolina, some of them dis
tinctly rural, have .' adopted the
principle' of local taxation for
schools, - we think this time most
auspicious to urge a general move
ment of all our educational forces
in that direction, and, therefore;
we appeal to all patriotic North
Carolinians, men and women who
love their State, and especially
that part of their State which is
worth more than all its timber
lands, mines and manufacturing
plants, to band themselves togeth
er under the leadership of our ed
ucational Governar and the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, aided by the Southern Edu
cation Board, to ; carry, forward
the work of local taxation and
better schools, to tha end that ev
ery child within our borders - may

There comes to our table . this
morning from a New York bouselj

a request that we forward $5 and

The pamphlet stages'that 10,000

many of these -; ten thousand are

Jefferson Davis appeared before
the Legislature of- liissisiippi to
day and her presence- caused " a
very affecting issue. ' She w&j es
corted to the capitol shortly 'be
fore noon and introduced to 'the
joint session by Senator Cayce,
who eulogized Jefferson Davis and
spoke of his distinguished services
to his country and of the! undying
toy of the people of Mississippi
for the only president of the Con
federate States.
Mrs. Davis burst into tears when
she attempted to reply. 'Gentle
men," said she, -shall' always
tenderly love the people of Miss

a 'defeated man. I can tav no
