Historical Sketch of School District
No. 1, of Jefferson Township,
Guilford Connty.
As this district has recently en-tered
up the second epoch in its
history by the erection of a new
and commodious school building,
possibly it may be of some interest to
the readers of the PATRIOT to re
count a few incidents pertaining to
its origin and past history. It
comprises the central portion of
the territory that is now known as
Jefferson township in the eastern
part of Guilford county. The site

Awful Record Made So Far by the
Mississippi River Floods.
BlEJirui-i, Tenn , March 31.—A
heavy rainfall, accompanied by a
strong gale from the west, is add-ing
to the gravity of the Hood situ-tion
in the Mississippi Delta.
There are four breaks in the
levee and each is letting in a stream
as large as the Ohio river at Gin
einnati or the Hudson at Albany.
This tremendous outflow has caus
ed a fall of only one-tenth of a
foot at Vicksburg, just below the
last break. The rain and wind
will probably cause more breaks.
The river is now like an inland
sea, and this afternoon a telegram
from a place below Rosedale, Miss.,
announced that the waves were
pounding against the levee. This
being true, there will be, in all
probability, more crevasses before
morning.
All the forces of nature are
against the people. The rainfall
and wind intensify the danger. If
the wind were from the east it
H'ould mean little, but the gale is
Mowing from the west.
LIVES LOST IN THE WATERS.
The loss of life so far has amount
ed to 68 persons. Six have been
drowned in the Delta Hood and a
dozen on the Arkansas side, south
of Helena. The upper lloodf,
which have prevailed in the St
Francis basin for two weeks, claim
nl fifty victims, all colored.
1,000 BQOAM MILKS DOOMED.
Already the loss of cattle has
been great. Corn that was planted
ami growing is under water and
pieparalions for cotton planting
were well underway. The plough-ed
earth will be swept into the Ya
zoo ami thence into the Mississippi.
It is dilllcult to estimate the to-tal
properly loss. A thickly set-tled
country containing an area of
about 4,000 square miles, dotted
with farmhouses anil small villages
will be lloodeil.
Labor will become demoralized
and colored bands cannot be se
cured in sufficient numbers to cul-tivate
the crops when the water
subside*. The Yazoo and Missis
eippi Yulley Railroad will have 150
miles of track under water before
the Hood is over.
THIN BTRBAktS BECOMES A TOBBBKT
III the Arkansas side the levee
from Helena to Arkansas City U
as full of holes as the outer wall of
a fortification after a siege. There
is a break at Westover, which oc-curred
at an early hour in the
morning. A thousand men were
at work on the levees when the
crash came. First a thin stream
of water began to trickle from the
inner wall of the embankment.
Experienced levee men saw the
danger and cried out a warning
The laborers rushed back, but in
live minutes a gap of fifty feet wide
and six feet deep was torn in the
wall of earth. The break grew un-til
it is now several hundred feet
wide. It is ten miles below Helena,
and the water rushing through it
will destroy a dozen line plants
tions and may back up to Helena.
Other breaks will prnbahlv occur
in the Arkansas side.
WATBB 111 SUES OVElt 10,000 ACHES.
The I.aconia Circle country, a
few miles below Westover, is under
water. This circle is surrounded
by a levee The levee in the rear
went to pieces Monday, and the
water rushed in and spread itself
over .10,000 acres of the most fertile
land in Arkansas, which was divid-ed
into plantations, giving support
to no less than 5,000 people.
TOWNS sDBMBBOBD.
Gunnison, Rosedale and a dozen
other small towns are under water.
The Hood is spreading over the ter
ritory from Perthshire. Miss., to a
place ten miles north of Vicksburg
and back from the river thirty or
forty miles.

vicinity of this city the levees are

The
not a gain to cut the feed, it would
not be the common practice of the
employers of hundreds of horses in
single stables to use the cut feed.
In my own case, the horses and
oxer, not only used a third less
food, but they were conspicuously
in better condition than previous to
the cutting of the fodder and the
grinding of the grain. I find it the
same now in feeding cows. When
fed meal dry, and alone, the fowls
tear the manure to shreds, and if
the whole grain is fed, the evidence
of indigestion is more apparent;
but when the fodder or the hay is
cut and the meal is mixed with it
after wetting it, the fowls spend
very little time scratching in the
cow yard.
' Now does not this preparation of
the food cause the fodder and the
grain both to be better digested? I
can get considerably more milk
from less hay and grain than 1 can
by the use of long hay and dry
meal. Doubtless the grinding of
grain is a saving by the better di
gestion of it, and my experience
for more than thirty years in feed
ing all kinds of farm animals has
been that by cutting and wetting
the fodder and mixing with the
ground grain, made as line as pos-sible,
the food is more completely
digested ; that the animals are kept
in better condition m the smaller
quantity of food; and that the
yield of milk is better; and these
results I feel sure must be by the
more complete digestion of the food
thus prepared."
Mr. Walter H. Page Coming to the
Normal.
There will be held at Southern
Pines, N. C, on April 28, a con-ference
on "Southern Interstate
Insurance," the delegates being
persons appointed by the Govern
ors of Southern States, presidents
of boards of trade and chambers
of commerce, mayors of cities and
towns and editors of leading news
papers. The object of the confer-ence
is to specially call the atten-tion
of the Southern people to the
large amount of money that is an-nually
going out of the South for
upon which the school building life and accident insurance. It is

The coming of Mr. Walter II.
Page to North Carolina to deliver
the annual address at the com-mencement
of the Normal and In-dustrial
College at Greensboro will
be hailed with pleasure by the peo-ple
of the state.
Mr. Page is one of the strongest
and airiest of the younger genera-tion
who have grown to manhood
since the war. He has a head full
of ideas, and original, progressive
and striking ideas they are. He
loves the state with a truly filial af-fection,
though his lines of late
vearB have fallen in other sections.
Though absent from the state, he
is present in the spirit, ambitious
for the growth and development of
the state's every interest.
The success of the Normal and
Industrial College is particularly
pleasing to Mr. Page because he
has much faith in the usefulness
of such instruction, and was among
the first to eet the ball in motion in
North Carolina for a departure
from purely classical curriculum to
practical and industrial instruc-tion.
It will do bis heart good to
This district was among the first
in the county to adopt and put in-to
practical operation the public
school system inaugurated by the
legislature of 1840. R. S. Gilmer,
who was then a prominent citizen
and surveyor of eastern Guilford,
was appointed to layout the school
districts in his section of the coun-ty.
During the summer of 1840
Mr. Gilmer maile a survey of this
district No. I, the center of which
fell out upon a piece of low meadow
land a few rods east of Hugh
Wiley's mill, now known as Stew
art's mill. This land then belong,
ed to Kline Pritchett, but being a
very unfavorable location for a
school house and not satisfactory
to all parties, the present site,
which is about 75 rods to the west
of the center, was selected, then
the property of Hugh Wiley. Ran-kin
Donnell, John McLean and
Joseph Rankin constituted the first
board of trustees. A formal deed
for one and one-fourth acres
of land was made out and con-veyed
to this board of trus
tees and their successors by the
said Hugh Wiley for the sum of
$5 00. Immediate steps were taken
toward the erection of a house.
The community decided that this
house should be comfortablo and
durable; they therefore determin-ed
to build it of brick and from
their own private resources. Hen-ry
Rider was employed to make the
brick. The kiln in which these
brick were burned was on the north
side of Alamance creek, near the
present residence of J. II. Gilmer.
Mr. Rider also built the walls of
the house, the dimensions of which
were 30 feet and 20 feet wide.
Rankin Donnell and Samuel Han-ner
did the wood work. Naturally
this house took the name of llrick
School House.
Mr. Klisha Gray taught the first
school in this public edifice during
the winter of 1840-41. Mr. Gray
was followed by Richardson Jobe
and others, whose reputati in and
success as teachers was determin-ed
by the number of large boys
Hogged during the term. Later on
Dr. James Dick, Thomas Rankin,
James Gannon and William Hun-ter
were among the male teachers
that imparted to the Young Amer-ica
of this communily the rudi-ments
of education.
The writer became associated
with the district as teacher of this
school a few years after the late
war, and has served here in this
capacity at dill'erent times during
the last twenty-live years. We have
had many pleasant experiences with
both patron and pupil as a public
servant, and also many hospitable
entertainings in their homes. Since
our first acquaintance with this
district there have been many
changes, but a steady, aggressive,
upward tendency. On the north,
in full view of the schoolroom,
stands the saw mill and cotton gin
formerly owned by (J. L Boon.
This property was purchased a few
see the Bpectacle of four or live years since by J. H Gilmer and
hundred young women preparing to John M. Phippe, and to this ma-become
useful and active workers chinery has been added two new
in North Carolina's industrial and
educational vineyard. And he will
give them something to stimulate
to highest endeavor. There are
few men anywhere who have a more
striking method of presenting ideas,
whether with Ins tongue or his pen.
Mr. Page made the Forum. He
took it when it was a losing venture,
and established it upon the highest
plane. He is now connected with
Ihe Atlantic Monthly, the leading
literary magazine paper in America.
None but a man of scholarly tastis
and superior genius could secure
such recognition as he has received
in his special field of labor.
North Carolina is proud of him
and will give him a warm welcome.

Pearson Gets a Duty on Mica
Representative Pearson, of North
Carolina, after much importuning
of the individual members of the
ays and means committee, has
succeeded in getting specific duties
placed on mica, a work which will
give him the unalloyed thanks of
at least 100,000 people in the mica-producing
districts of North Caro-lina.
Mica is a peculiar article of
commerce, in that its value in-creases
in size. For example, mica
in sheets about t
enterprise*. The first known under
the name of "The Globe Plow Fac-tory."
Here the cultivator so pop-ularly*
k'iown to many farmers of
North Carolina is manufactured,
under the auspices of Troxler di
Gilmer. The second is entitled
"The Gilmer Plow handle Factory."
On the south stands the old grist
mill, now owned by John R. Stewart,
and running on full time. The
enirgetic. zealous spirit of these
gentlemen, the steady rumbling of
the wheels and the humming of
their saws and lathes have given a
fresh and stimulating impetus to
the surrounding country. New
settlements have been made. Many
of the old residences have been re
modeled or replaoed by new ones.
The old Brick School House hav-ing
been pronounced unsafe for
some time and its ancient archi-tecture
not according with the
other features of its patronage,
made it necessary to advance in
education also. Therefore at the
close of the term last spring a
meeting of the patrons was called
and a unanimous decision rendered
to tear down the old house and
build a new one. As a result, on
the 23rd of last November the wri-ter
stepped into a neat cosy new
school building with many of

Mr. Pearson succeeded in obtain-ing

this will bring prosperity to the
North Carolina mica-producers.

A special dispatch from Buenos
Ayres says the Argentine govern-away
two dollars for every dollar
they get back. It is accordinglj
desired that Southern people should
insure only in Southern companies,
so that, whatever be gotten back,
the whole amount paid in premiums
shall remain in the South. North
Carolina, it is said, gets back an
nually but one million of the two
millions paid to outside insurance
companies. This, perhaps, is, af-ter
all, not doing so badly. Many-insured
houses never burn down,
so that in some cases the insurers
get nothing back. In other cases
citizens let their life insurance
lapse or live excessively long, so
that they get little or nothing in
return for long-continued pay-ments.
In view of such happen
ings it may not be extraordinary
if the insured get back but 50 per
cent., so long as they are sure i f
getting the full amount of their
contracts.
It is certainly desirable that the
South should develop its insurance
interests. Safe, steady, conserva-tive
insurance companies, with
large capital, safeguarded by intel-ligent
and just state legislation,
are desirable in every section of
the Union. Large insurance com-panies
have large aggregates of
capital for investment and they
naturally look first for opportuni-ties
of investment in the communi-ty
where the home ollice is situat-ed.
The fact that the headquar-ters
of so many companies are in
New FCngland and New York has.
no doubt, operated to benefit New
York by supplying them with great
quantities of money seeking invest-ment
at low rates. An appreciable
part of the population of some
Northern cities consists of the
clerks employed by the home ollices,
and their salaries go to stimulate
local business.
If the money paid by the South
for insurance were paid to South
ern companies—companies equally
well managed and equally safe from
interference by predatory Populist
legislatures—a large ' stimulus
would no doubt be given to South-ern
prosperity. It may be said
that there are not the same large
aggregations of capital in the
South, the same skill in handling
it, nor the same opportunities for
the safe investment of large
amounts, but these disadvantages,
if real, will disappear as fast as
companies that command confi
dence can be built up. The sus-picion
with which capitalists and
corporations of all kinds are re-garded
by the Populist is, of course,
a discouragement. The agitation
for a tlebased silver dollar puzzles
and dismays the best friends of the
communities in which such agita-tion
exists. Neither Southerners
nor Northerners are disposed to at-tempt,
to build up large enterprises
where people are hostile to the cur-rency
system necessary to all busi-ness
not of a purely speculative
character.
Insurance is a business in which
certainty of results is specially de-sirable.
One advantage a Euro-pean
or a Northern company can
offer is that in any event its policy
will be paid in money as good as
received. The Populist is not
everywhere ridiug a tilt against the
conditions that permit steady busi-ness
and prosperity. There is no
reason why the South should not
patronize its own insurance com-panies
il its people feel sure of
their future. There is, in fact,
every reason why they should pat-ronize
them. Southern companies
need, of course, to build up for
themselves a reputation of solidity
and conservatism. That they will
do in time—provided always that
wild cat Populist ideas are not al-lowed
to dominate the legislatures.

BORN BLPi'D,
And the Young Man 1 as Wild With
Joy at His First ew of the
World.
The physicians in the eye and
ear department of the Maryland
General Hospital have just con-cluded
a case that will go on record
as one of more than usual interest.
About three weeks ago Thomas
Blue, a young man 22 years old,
from lloirman, Richmond county.
North Carolina, who was born blind,
was brought to Baltimore and oper-ated
on at the Maryland General
Hospital.
Last week ihe young man had so
far progressed that be was able to
actually count fingers at a distance
of more that twenty feet and notice
-in i. objects near him. When the
bandage was removed from his eyes
he was a most surprised looking in-dividual,
and the doctors enjoyed
his amazement. It was the first
time he had ever Been the light of
day.
To describe his joy when he real-ized
his good fortune would be im-possible.
Again and again he went
around thanking everybody. He
said he felt as though he was en-tering
in an entirely new world.
Saturday afternoon the doctors took
him out to the park, and then he
was shown about the city. Sunday
he returned home, and he will at
once go to school.
