Editor. F.crtoss are lie i up held towns of this State for the purpose of issuin' ltonds, or levying a sHeial tax, for the public or cradl'd schools. Some of these in elections have already leen held. mid, so far as we now recall, every one has lwcii favor of the nehiMils. Elections in several other towns will Is) held next month, aud we veuture tho predic-tion that every one will result in favor of the schools.

Never before in tho history of our State lias so niiicli interest been manifested and in a most practical aud substanlial manner in the great cause of education. The Legislature, at its rccout session, appropriated more money for education than any previous Legislature had ever done. And iu addition to these increased appropriations from the public treasury, the late Legislature passed many bills authorizing different towns to levy a special school tax. All this increased interest in education is oue of the lienoficial results of the adoptiou of the suffrage amendment to onr State constitution, just as was predicted and promised by its advocates. es, the advocates of the mi drape amendment predicted last year that its adoption would greatly the cause of education.

Aud they also promised that more money should be appropriated for the public schools, and that the school terms should be lengthened. This prediction 1ms already been verified, and this promise is already being fulfilled. Thebe was au invasion of our State last week by a baud of Yankees, but it was a very different invasion from that made by the Yankees in April, 1803. Aud by a singular co-iucideuce ireensboro was an objective point for both invasions. The persons who made this last invasion were some of the most distinguished divines aud educators in the United States, and heir object iu coming here was to aid iu the great campaign for education which is uow being so vigorously waged iu North C.uo-lina.

Among them were such notables as Dr. Lyman Abbott, Bishop Doaue, Dr. Charles H. 1'arkhurst, Dr. Alliert Shaw and others of equal note.

They came by special train toj (Ireensboro, where they visited the State Normal and Industrial College aud other institutions of learning. Then they went to Winston-Salem, where was held an educational conference for tl discussion of the educational interests of the South. This conference will be au inspiration and stimulant of incalculable value to the cause of education iu this State. The First Cotton Gia. Th lUIttfcti Mid Observer.

Asked the blunt question, whether lie had any intention of entering tin national political arena, Mr. Har risou replied: I am not fooling witli national politics. It i enough for me now to attend to my duties iu Chicago." When asked what the Illinois legislature was likely to do, Mr.

Harrison said: The Republicans iu that bodv have done almost nothing outside of a discussion of apportionment bills.
