REV. J.G. PULLIAM'S WORK We bad.' an interesting- talk with -RevvJ, G. Pulliam while he was borne this week, in regard to his work in Philadelphia. ; He istneeting with very good success, raising f nnds --Jor the Lenoir Academy, and judging from letters be showed U9 be is making j many friends for his cause in the city of brotherly iove. c Mr. Pulliam has this month made a payment of $500 on the property, and thinks if he .has no misfortune he will , raise the entire debt is a reasonably short time. jHe is engaged in a noble workakd if heVcan continue to succeed in his efforts, the fine property of the Lenoir Academy will some day(be an ornament to our town, an$ one of the fore most institutions of learning in this part of the State. We nfeake this little statement .withouittbe knowledge of Mr; Pulliadn, and wish him God speed In his undertaking. Mr. yf. Li, Beach bas another article on : our public ' schools in this issue. He makes some i re flectionson the board of educa tion andYounty superintendent that theyuwill doubtless try to clear up, or at least side of the question. give their A few days ago a friend asked us what he ' could engage in to make some money.

No business can. succeed in this age of . aggressiveness unless it is directed by capable. men who devote their time and talents to its best interests. V " :; v For more than half a century we nave beenplaying at the edp--j cation of the children of the Stale, when it should ? have : been our most serious .business. Unless the children are educated there is no foundation at all on which to build our hopes for the - future of onr State ' " .. " . ' Then it is time to quit trifling and to put busines principles and talent into the : ' school :j work. We do not mean, that the State has not bad men whose highest. ambition was to give us a perfect system of public instruction, but a few men cannot do it alone. There are some counties in the State ' which have -made an en viable record in their school sys tem, btit all have not, and ours is in the latter class This being true it is only -natural to inquire where tbe fault lies and how it may be remedied. As the board of i e d u c a t i o n and superin tendent-are at the head of the school work in the county,; it is essential that they be men of jtbe highest intelligence; that they be patrons of the schools, vitally in terested in their success, and that thy have tbe time: and the inclination to use themselves and their talentsf or the advancement of the county schools as they dp for the success of their private business If these requirements are fully met one' great obstacle would be remr"d Then it is neSgsifery that they make themselves Acquainted with all the r schools, the condi tions in the different districts, and their varying needs. That our present officers, have failed to do this is plainly shown in tbe character of many of their com mitteemen, and. in their mode of distributing the school funds, for, it cannot be called appor tionment, v ; Men who can neither read nor write; men who have no children to awake their . interest; men "of questionable character are not calculated to add to tbe effective- ness of a school, -but tney are sure to bring confusion; among tbe patrons and hinder the work of the teacher. " " ; As to the distribution of f und s a few examples will suffice to show their manner of proceed u re. ; In Kjngs Creek township, one district with ninety-seven, schol ars was given $90 or 92 cents pejr capita, one with 114 scholars $109 or 95 cents per capita, and one wih 70 scholars $90 or $1.23 cents fer capital .Why' ths discrimi nation? : tt i ' : We are told-it was to make the school of eoual lengtb. But the law requires the grade of scholar ship to be .-.considered, and this was not done, for" the r least per capita to the district has the most advanced pupils The real rea son for this; unjust discrimina tion, is that one member of the board is personally interested in tbe last named of- the favored districts,' and the CSnpt. in ? tbe other. When objection i was raised on the part of ; the' first school these gentlemen ; -would not hear to reducing this amount in order to do justice , to all, .but to. right a .wrong, committed greater, by , talcing $10; from colored district in which tbe money had already . been taught out- v $ Does the law provide that mem bers of the boardkshail have such length of sctool - as they wish at their own dctr, or that super intendents S.I "-1 Lave es tor titan prices-for te: did?

These things can exist only through gross negligence of the county officers There are some other 1 things' the people can't understand. :- Why . can deposi tories refuse to exchange a part of the books? How can some men keep books? . How can some njen keep books for sale and re fuse to exchange any?r: Will the proper authority answer?

Mr. Nixon had been to Mooresville and had soldi some cotton and was on his way home wnen a strange negro came out of the woods ; and accosted him, de manding his money and showing a revolver to eniorce tne ae- mand. Mr. Nixon told the ne gro he had no money that he paid out what he got for his cot ton. 'While this talk was going on a third party came in sight and the negro fled.

Winston-Salem", Jan. 27. Rex Gass, assistant floor manager at the Farmers Tobacco Ware house, was shot in the abdomen and'perhaps fatally wounded this morning by George W Pruett, a picture agent from Wilmington, who was accompanied by his partner Charles Luton, of Eliza- beth Uity. lhe shootinsr oc curred on the warehouse floor The wounded man was removed to the hospital at once. The operation performed, showed that the-ball went through the bowels and lodged at or near tfie backbone There is little hope for his recovery. Pruett and Luton were caught by severa men in the warehouse and there was talk of lynching the first named, but the advice of cooler heads was heeded. The im pression is general here that the shooting was premeditated f ruett and . Luon were com mitted to jail without bail.

On Wednesday night of last week Mr. Jerry Harrison of Deerfield, lost his dwelling, barn, wood shed and granary, togeth er with nearly their entire con tents by fire, which entailed z cash loss to bim of fully $2,000 or more. The fire, we are told, wis of incendiary origin, as all the buildings were burning at the same time, the barn being at least one hundred yards from the other buildings. Three head of splendid horse stock, farming utensils, wagon, buggy, harness, and a ltfrge amount of provender were destroyed; 200 bushels of grain together with a large lot of flour,. baeon, and oth family supplies were reduced to ashes, and almost the entire con tents of his pretty home was lost.
