naturally grows thin and pale because of the lack of the red corpuscles that give

evidence some constitutional or blood trouble, which salves, lotions, powders nor
any external treatment can cure. Diseases that originate in the blood, whether
they manifest themselves as ulcers, tumors, itching eruptions, muscular or bone

I have ln-eii asked several times late
ly at whnt dnte tho common English
sparrows wore Imported Into the Unit
ed Brutes and by whom.
It seems that the first Attempt was
made In 1HTX by a private citizen of
Portland, Sle. lu tho fall of that yenr
he liberated rIx aparrows, and they Im
mediately made themselves at home
In his garden and outbuildings. For
few yenrs these birds and their de-
seendant were seen In and nlniut the
town In Hiuull Baiiads. These birds
multiplied until In tho winter of 1871
ft flock of them appeared In ey nenr
by town, tbiiH showing their tendency
to spread over adjoining territory.
About lKiO 12 blrda were Imported
and liberated nenr Madison aquaTe,
New York city, and this was repeated
or several seasons.
In 1804 tho commissioners of New
York liberated 14 birds In Central park.
Abont this time numerous persons re
turning from abroad brought a few
birds home and set them at liberty In
and about Jersey City.
The craze for Importing these bird
spread, and In 1808 tho city govern
ment of Boston Imported a great num
ber. Hut the birds bad not beo care
fully handled, and they did not thrive,
and other were brought over. Tb
bird which survived from these v
clous Importation were 'carefully fed
and looker after by the city govern
nierjt.
Id lHOD a thousand were Imported
and lllx-rated In the city of rbjladel
plila, and soon the bird spread over
II adjntoent territory.
About this time Ihe Smithsonian Id

Chapter XLII, 17H4, section 111, m !!ci
that, by the before recited act the saiil
land was granted to the trustees of the
public school In New Horn, anil section j
II of the same act derlsrcs the name of!
the school shsll le the New Hern Acad- j
eruy. Now since the old brick school !
house, known as the New Hem Acad-
amy containing Tour large rooms Is still j
standioi? and Is being used in connection j
with the new building to carry on the
Public Graded School, and Ihls same old
building is the place where severs! gen
erations of New liernians anil others,
have received education, the bare state
ment of the facts is a sufficient criticism
of the professor's historical knowledge
of North Carolina school buildings.
The attention of the writer was called
to this matter while on a recent visit to
the old city, which in former times was
named "The Athens of the State," on ac
count of its many learned men whose
training in literature was due to the In
struction received in the old Academy.
That the old building with its spacious
grounds was designed and located for
the education of the youth of the town,
solely and not for the purpose of en
hancing the value of tho property of the
trustees is shown by its situation. It is
located now aB It was one hundred years
ago lo the lesidence part of the town.
surrounded by the homes of the citizens,
it is still central to the great majority of
the children, although there has been a
large addition to the population since Its
construction. These observations di
rect attention to the proposed loca
tion of the new school buildings In Kin
ston. Tlic people hero voted to issue bonds
for school purposes, hut it seems that
the convenience of the great majority of
the children, entitled to public school
facilities, Is about to he igno ed. It Is
understood, that the new building is to
be located in North Kinslon, which w ill
cause a majority of pupils, if they at
tend, to trudge a distanco requiring fif
teen to twenty minutes of brisk walkins;
to cover it.
The locution of the building In North
Kinston Is difficult to explain without a
suggestion of improper consideration on
the part of Ihotc In chargo, It Is Raid that
the trustees have large holdings of unim
proved land and prospective town lots
in or abont the selected site, and the
school building located as proposed
would Induce the settlement of that sec
tion and consequently greatly enhance
the valuo of properly there.
That the value of such property would
be increased in such event, Is plain, but
It is also evident that tho same cause
would diminish values In those sections
where the majority of the people are
now interested, and reside.
This writer is not prepared to (indorse
the accusation of self agrandisemenl,
at the public expense, which tho above
statement Rttggsats, Yet these things
are in the thoughts of the people and
discussion hears this tone.
There 1 no want of a good Bite, avail

pils.
A largo lot can bo purchased in a most
desirable locality for $2500, expensive I
expensive! Is thecxclsmatory argument
against it. Rut 1 it f Would It net he
far more expensive to spend tho pcoplos
money on a donated site, If the majority
are to le deprived of Ihe use of the
school or can avail themselves of such
school, only at tho prico of groat Incon
venience, or worse? Notatok.

"If that sign was not the Irony nf
