JOHNSTON.
Mr. Wingate Underbill writes me of the Selma Academy, which
began work about 1870, in Selma, and was a great force for good.
Hon. John C. Scarborough, Rev. B. W. Hatcher, Prof. Henry Lewis
Smith, Prof. C. Alphonso Smith, Mr. W. B. Darden, and Mr. H. A.
Foushee were from time to time Principals. At present Mr. R. R.
Eason, of the State University, is Principal.
Of course I knew of this excellent school, but did not mention it
because I supposed it had continuous existence to the present day.
For the same reason I did not mention Professor Turlington's Acad-emy
at Smithfield, of wide reputation.
LENOIR.
Joe Elliott, mentioned under Duplin, as of Connecticut, had a
flourishing school, at Spring Hill, in this county. It was greatly
prosperous as late as 1812. Many of his boys, among them, Wm.
D. Mosely, a Tutor in the University, a Congressman and Governor
of Florida Territory, attained eminence.
Judge George V. Strong and his brother, Wm. A. Strong, were
over Kinston Academy prior to the civil war.
Kinston College began operations in 1882 under Richard H. Lewis,
M.D., as President. He presided over it until 1889, when it ceased
to be a corporation, and passed into private hands, who kept it
until about four years ago.
Dr. Lewis was Principal of Kinston Collegiate Institute from 1887
until his transfer to Kinston College.
Kinston Female Seminary was under charge of the Misses Pat-rick.
MARTIN.
Mr. James H. Horner, the eminent founder of Horner School, was
Principal of a flourishing school at Hamilton, 1848-'50. He was suc-ceeded
by Mr. Swain, of Washington County, and he by J. W. De-
Ford, of Pennsylvania.
NASH.
Samuel Westray, the wealthy planter, who established a school of
some celebrity on his farm at Westrayville, was in his young days
a teacher, probably in Northampton County.
Stony Hill Academy was about two miles from the Portis Gold
