Dr. Slover'a School.
We are pleased to announce elsewhere
that Dr. Geo. Slover will open his school
this fall as a day school. For the last
one or "two sessions he has conducted it
as a night school in which many of our
young men who are employed during
the day have had an opportunity to pursue-
their etudies. New Berne really
needs a permanent high school and
Doctor Slover is the man to give it to
us. By properly advertising the advan
tages of New Berne, as a healthy city
and cheap boarding place, he will draw
from the surrounding country and build
up one of the finest institutions in East
ern Carolina, lie proposes to add a
military department after awhile.
The Public School..
We publish elsewhere a reply of John
S. Long, county superintendent of pub
lie instruction, to the inquiry of Mr,
Jas. F. Heath. We like to see our coun
try people taking an interest in the
question, though they may bo wrong in
their notions about when the schools
should be taught. The time set apart
by the county board of education for the
opening of the schools is, in our judg
ment, the best that can be done. Mr
Long is endeavoring to carry out the
law so as to make the small pittance of
money appropriated for that purpose ao.
compliflh as mueh good as possible. The
law requires teachers to appear
before " the examiner on certain
days to , be examined, and if
they appear at any other time
they are required to pay the examiner
for his time. But few teachers appear
on the days required by law, yet Mr.
Long gives his time, free of charge, to
the examination of these applicants.
No man would devote so much time to a
cause if he did not earnestly desire to
accomplish good for his fellow men and
for the children of the land.

A oertain politician, who Bwears by

The Captain pushed the virtues of the

- The special term of the Superior Court
of Lenoir began here last Monday,
Judae Avery presiding. - This court
tries only civil issues and there being

A quarter of a century ago, the pea
nut was to a great extent a luxury over
the greater cart of the Union. Now,
like oysters inland, this fruit takes its
place among the commonest edibles a
result due almost to the civil war and
one of the new developments in South
ern agriculture. Eastern North Caro'
lina formerly produced all the peanuts
grown in the United States and called
them 'goobers." There is a stohrof a
North Carolina regiment in tnetjon
federate army which early in the war
was sent into Northern Virginia. March
ing along one day, as hungry as usual,
these men came upon a field of clover
something none of them had ever seen
beforehand mistaking it tor peanuts,
broke ranks, leaped the fence and be-
piin tearing ud the roots of tne plant.
Their disappointment was bitter and
ever afterward the regiment went by
the name of "goober grubbers." This
vear a crop of two and a quarter mil
lions of bushels is expected. Of this,
it is suid Tennessee will produce 600,000
bushels. Virginia about 750,(mO bushels
while the Carolinas give about 150,000
bushels.- ' ... . '--Vy;

Editor Journal: Although -I have
not the time nor disposition to write
newspaper articles on "American
Liberty," or any other similar subject,
yet it la my pleasure as well as my duty
to furnish information and assistance to
the people of Craven, whenever I can,
in relerenoe to the pubno schools.
When elected superintendent, the pub
lic Bchools of this county were at a low
ebb. We had only three or four school
houses, and they were in a wretched
condition; we had scarcely a dosen
competent teachers, white and colored;
tne schools were operated without sys
tem or purpose, and wide-spread disor
ganization and discontent existed.
Now we have over thirty comfortable
new school bouses belonging to the
county, more good teachers than. we can
employ, and our public schools are hon
ored throughout the country. What is
the explanation of all this ? Simply
that we have tried carefully to super
vise the schools, have run them accord
ing to law, and have introduced system
in their management everywhere. Mr.
James F. Heath is an intelligent, well-
meaning citizen, but be la mistaken in
his positions and arguments in this mat
ter. He is mistaken even if he consid
ered only his own neighborhood, but if
he considers the interest of the whole
county he is wrong all the way. The
school law says that the schools shall
begin on the same day as far as practi
cable. What does the word practicable
mean r Has it any reference to the con
venience or preference of any particular
neighborhood r If "it does, the law
makers have employed the wrong word.
in considering tne practicability or a
thing, we are simply determining
whether it is possible. Is it possible to
run all the schools of Craven together?
Why not r in one month from the nrst
Monday in December,' namely the first
Monday in January, the Bchool money
is all in and apportioned, the teachers
have all passed their examination, the
superintendent's report on the last year
has gone forward to Raleigh, and we
are all fully at work, Mr. Heath
speaks of the bad weather of the winter
months. Does he not know that the
universal schools of civilization are run
in those months, in cities, towns, vil
lages and country places, while the
summer months are everywhere, on
account of the heat, considered unfit for
study and are set apart for recreation r
Mr. lieath speaks of American liberty
being overthrown and tho public school
money being wasted by teaching school
in the winter. If that is the case, there
is not much American liberty, whatever
that may be, left in this country now,
for the whole nation will be filled with
winter schools. And as for the money,
from the first of December to the last of
March are the only four successive
school months, we can find when the
money will not be wasted. To run
short schools between the laying by of
the crop and the picking out of cotton is
an absolutely certain way oi wasting it.
The children learn nothing, the teachers
get little pay, and the whole school sys'
tern is disordered. Mr. Heath thinks
that the superintendent should be ready
to visit the schools at any tune. That
is another mistake into which he has
fallen. The superintendent of Craven
examined last year about oo teachers,
and this year he is likely to have to
examine 100. Besides he has other im
portant duties which require his atten
tion. Now if each school neighborhood
in Craven will consider itself only
fractional part of the whole oounty, and
will consider that other neighborhoods
have claims as well as itself, everything
will be well. Above all, u any school
district, as several are already doing,
will run private schools, where the
children can be induced to attend, for
the two or three months before the pub
lic schools begin, we shall have in
creased educational prosperity through'
out the country.
To sum up in a few words. If Mr
Heath is allowed to start his school
whenever he pleases, every neighbor
hood will do the same thing, and we
shall soon have only confusion in the
county. If Mr. Heath can stop his
school at the end of two months, and
then after the lapse of six months start
it and run it two months more, every
body else can do the same thing, and the
money will be useless for education, as
no child can leam by such a process,
There must be system, and some one to
enforce system, whether tne board oi
education or the superintendent, and,
the publio schools of Crayon will be
useless without it,
Respectfully,
John S. Loko.
Col. .Benjamin Askew..
A publio meeting of the citizens of

proceedings of this meeting be sent to

Simon E. Kconcr, Chm'u.
Jas. B, Stanly, Seety..
The secretary desires to state that he
has been intimately acquainted with
the deceased for nearly half a century
and has often heard him speak of his
early life. Col. Askew was born in
Trenton in the same house in which he
died, April 18th, 1813. His father's
name was Zadock Askew and was a
hatter by trade, who died when Col.
Askew was quite a small boy, leaving a
wife and two or three children with
vety limited means to procure a living
and. consequently he had but very little
advantage of obtaining an education.
At his 20th birthday his mother ap
prenticed him to learn the chair or gig
making trade, as it was called in that
day. He served faithfully his allotted
time and at night would prepare his
lightwbod and study his books.
When he was 22 years old be started
workshop of his own in Trenton and
carried it on for several years in a very
successful manner.
During the year 1848 he was appointed
Postmaster at Trenton which position
be beld until loos when he resigned tne
office of Postmaster, having been chosen
by his friends to the office of Clerk of
the County Court which position he
held until after the war. He was also
elected one of the commissioners of onr
oounty and served one term as chair
man. , in. tact uoi. Askew has Deen
serving the oounty of Jones with his
pen and counsel for the last 44 years. I
had forgotten to state in its proper place
that he represented the 9th Senatorial
district in the Legislature or lS i O- Tf.
Col. Askew was a kind husband and
indulgent father, a good friend as many
who nave been in distress can certify
and many who have been oast into
prisons during the reconstruction times
and were released by his aid in fact it
may be said of him be was a friend to
every one, every one was his friend.
