"My heart, says he, f"is with and if. ever anything can be done by, me to . forward , the school it shall be done. I love the chil dren of New : Berne and, Bhall follow thorn through life with puj prayers and best wishes." ; m . We have given this much of his let- tor, that the children may know that he has not forgotten them, ami we can assure the Professor in return that he holds a place in the hearts of the people of New Berne that will not be made void soon. We lake pleasure in enter ing his name on, 'our' book, ' arid hope soon to give him the gratifying news : that ground has been broken for a now buildii.g for tho Graded school. . ' : The Graded Schools, The graded schools closed their first week with over 1,000 pupils on the roll; and applications- are still coming , in eveev day. Many narties from-the country have moved into the city so as give their children the benefit on these schools, ' and we bear of many mnra ifHa ivtmfiminlalj) Armr an ThA pupils fall readily, into the systent; and is already seen even by the most skeptical that the establishment of these has been taken by our people since the suiiuon in uua ox me wisest, nieya tuat war."

We iearn from a friend at Shoe Heel that certain tax payers in that section tion have applied to his Honor Judge McKoy for an injunction asking that the sheriff of Robeson county be re- strainea in tne collection oi ine graaea school assessments ' provided for the towns of Lumberton and bhoe Heel, see chapter 283 and 2U3; acss ot 188d. The Judge, evidently appreciating the momentous importance of the question I involved did not grant the injunction asked for, but agreed to hear the mat ter argued at Lumberton ou the 15th and 16th inst. This is a serious matter, involving as it does the educational interests, and in deed' the entire publio school system of the State, if not directly, at least indi rectly. The great work accomplished in so brief a time by the graded schools in different parts of the State, and the impetus these have given to the cause of public education throughout North Carolina are a matter of State pride, and callous indeed is the soul of the man who. would have it otherwise. We can scarcely believe that there is any ground for the injunction. The State has made provisions for the com mon schools for white and black alike. A tax of 13 cent on the $100 valuation of, real and personal property and a por tion of the poll tax is set aside for school purposes. This is divided equally be- tween the two races according to the number of children. About three-fourths of the' school money for the blacks js paid by the whites. " There 13 no dis tinction made in its distribution on ac count of color. It is but fair then that' each race should be permitted to' assess itself for any additional amoupt desired, and the features of the. several graded school bills, as also of,the Dortch educa tional bill, have this object in view. It is not our purpose to discuss the constitutionality of the question in volved. 1 We, are fully satisfied to leave this to the courts." Many of the best lawyers in the' State think the" assess ment feature within the scope of the constitution. Indeed the Supreme Court ha? so declared. We refer to the case of Cain vs. the Cotnmissioners, of Davie county, February, 1883, reported in 86th North Carolina Reports,' which opinion, it would seem, fully covers the principles involved in 'the assessment acts for school purposes.' Mesenger: , " ; , , Sayage Murder at Reidsville. From parties who arrived in the city yesterday on the north train, we learned the particulars of a savage murder com mitted in that town Tuesday evening about 'dark,. The partieB to the; affair were two colored men and they had been, gambling in a house on , the out skirts of town. In the course of their game they,, became involved in a quar rel, when one of them drew a pistol and shot at the other, missing his mark, however. - -This broke up the game, and the negro that was shot at, went off a$d borrowed a. shot gun paying ntty cents for the loan of it. He loaded it heavily with squirrel shot and then . hunted up his'' partner' in the game and .was;not long in ! finding him. On finding the man for whom he was searching, the negro rawed his gun and fired, lodging the entire ctohtenfe bf ihe gun in his op ponent's body; killing him almost in stantly.; the slayer,' was arrested and lodged in jail.

Women Do Use Coats' Milk. uIs it true" asked a reporter of a well-known physician in Thirty-eight street, "that girls are now drinking goats' milk to improve their complex- inns'" "Undoubtedly," said the physician promptly "and it is also true that they are indulging in lettuce juice, asses' milk, cream, glycerine, camphor, poul- tices, arsenic, patent nostrums of every variety, and chemical masks." "You don't say?" "Yes, I do. - They try everything on earth except the fundamental requisite. I have had an extensive experience in treating cases of skin trouble with wo men, and we are still surprised at the ease : with which they are fooled by all sorts of quack medicines and devices, Last spring I had a girl under treatment whose stomach was almost ruined. She had been taking an infernal compound gold by a firm in Fourteenth street which was expected ito make he arms piump she was not an idiot, either. Another patient of mine excited my ire a 8UOrt time ago;: She was the most spook-like and ghastly-looking specimen t ever saw. Her skin was a dead white, and her eyelids were crusted and violently red. She was quite sat isfied with her color or lack of it but wanted me to take away the color' from her eyelids. I frightened her into con fessing that she had been consuming quantities of a compound said to have been stolen from one of the beauties of the Sultan's harem, and then began to clear her blood. "But do you think goats' milk im proves the complexion?" My dear sir, don't you understand that none of these things improves the complexion directly f It may be pos- Bible to improve general health so much by the use of goats' milk that the com plexion is benefited, but that will only follow where goats' milk is suited to tho system. Very many people don't drink milk at all. Rubbing the milk on the face is tho wildest sort of folly I wjU tell you how overy woman who I reads the Sun may got a good color by systematic exercise, regular meals, and seven hours' sleeD everv nieht.

Signs of an Open Winter us Revealed i .' by an Aged Indianian. What kind of a winter are we going to havo undo?" asked an Express re porter of an old squirrel hunter and mink trapper, who makes his home in the hills across the river. "I kinder calculate that we will have a rather mild winter; all the indica tions point to such.?' 7 ' "What signs do you go by, uncle?" "I have a good many signs, and I never knew one of them to fail yet. When I say we are going to have a mild winter, you can depend on it. Haven't I lived in this county for forty years and haven't I watchod the winters right along, and oughtn't I be able to tell ?" "Are the corn husks thin this year ?" "You better recon they are. .There are only two or three layers of them and tlioy are as thin as calico. Why, the corn is all dry enough now to go through a snow without injury. The one or two frosts we have had have sucked all the sap out of it." "Are there any other indications be sides the corn husksr" "You hotter believe there are. Nw when the sun crossed the line the wind blew from the southeast.

He was an intimate friend of the late President, they were born and raised only a few miles apart. , He haB written an au thoritative Life of President Garfield and as a work of merit and vigor it has no equal. We are glad to note that he had an enthusiastio hearing at all the places visited. Washington Gazette. A Day in the Country Good Crops. There may be greater pleasures, but to one who is confined to an office six days in the week, it is charming to get out of town one day. The writer en joyed that pleasure on last Sunday at the hospitable home of Mr. Samuel L. Grist, near town. It is useless to say time never flagged when it is stated thatMaj. W. A. Blount, among others, was, present. Mr. Grist is getting to be one of our model farmers. He has twenty-six acres in cotton, which will average about or very nearly one bale to the acre.
