We commend the address to the - vo ters of New Berne, in regard to the Gra? ded School, published in this issue, to the careful consideration of all our rea ders in . thecity'. It was gotton up by a number of our best citizens, who do not bother themselves with politics but are always alive to the best interest of the whole city. . The defeat of the school bill will, as they say, materially cripple tne scnooi, because private contribU' tions are too uncertain in a matter of such vast' importance. Read the- ad dress .painfully and make up your minds to voteor schools. . The Pealiody Fund. , Mr. John C. Scarborough, Superin tendent of Publio Instruction, informs us that a few weeks since he received $2,100 from the Peabody fund,- $2,000 to be applied in aid of graded schools in the State, and the $100 in aid of the Educational ; Journal . at Chapel Hill. Yesterday he received the second in stalment"'due' the graded schools from the fund, amounting, to $3,500, making a total of $4,500. All this has been dis tributed among the various schools. In a few weeks, he tells us, he will receive $1,400 from the, Peabody, jEuad for noi mal school work; and this Bum will be divided among , : the . various normal schools of the State.

''Cousin Jedediah" . was Very funny. Masters John Neat, Harry Brock and Ed. Clark showed fine oratorical pow ers, Clark proving to be the grate, man of the three, and the Dumb, Bell exer cises and marches beat the new military company. Intermission. ; The exhibition was a complete success and gave evidence of fine training. There was a perfect jam of spectators. Taxes. " Editor Journal: Taxes and death are sure to come, and must be met There are no taxes I so freely pay as those that go for education, and at death the satisfaction of having done something to benefit the rising genera tion. W. L. Palmer. Address. : ; i To the Voters of New Berne, in regard to the Graded School: - In asking the votes of the qualified voters, in favor of collecting by taxa tion the sum of about $3,000, to aid in the support of the Graded School of New Berne, we beg to call your careful attention to the following facts; I I1 1st. ine School Has enrolled, duang this, its first year, over five hundred pupils, who are receiving, free of cost, a good educationt and the number is constantly increasing. 2d. Giving a good education to every child, wui uplift tne entire community, and increase, the capacity and value of its citizens. Universal education, de mands universal support, which can best be done by taxation. . .. 8d. Men of wealth can secure the best schools for their own children, but the great body of the community cannot get a good education without publio schools.. A well organized Graded School, supported by all tax payers, se cures equal facilities for all, and gives the poorer children equal advantages with the children 01 the wealthy. J -4th. Superior schools and, higher edu cation bring material prosperity; good order and comfort to the entire oommu nity. Schools increase city population, cause new buildings to be erected, give employment to laborers,' and im prove the condition of every citizen. 5th. The proposed tax is very small, and will Only amount to. about three dollars on one thousand dollars worth of property ; and it will be abundantly returned in increased ' prosperity of every citizen, and in superior educa tional facilities for your children. 1 eth. The defeat of this bill will be a serious blow to the prosperity of the place, and materially cripple the school and damage the cause of education in New Heme. 7th. This is the only opportunity that the colored people will have for two years to effect, an organization, and if this bill is defeated they will have .to wait 'until another school bill can be ed. We would say to the colored voters that this tax does not interfere with the present county school fund but is intended to render that fund mnrA pfTfifit.ivn. . , - V . - i V- 8th. There is no political issue in this question. It is simply, Will you have a school, or will you notf if you wish a good school tree to your children, come forward and vote for the Graded School bill. Do not let it be said that New Berne closed one of the largest and best Graded Schools in the State: giving free education to over five hundred children; by a vote of her citizens. j ' Pamlico Items. : .. . : Enterprise., : -1 , a yv - Bryant G.
