to spend a few days by the sea

to hear feast

winter's accumulation dust by a
plunge in the mighty Atlantic.
At a glance the reader can see that
the pleasures of the seaside are
numerous.

The crowd at Morehead was
simply largest ever
known the mammoth
Atlantic Hotel was crowded to its
utmost capacity, so that to
the vast throng hundreds
of extra cots had to placed
around in the rooms and parlors.
Lot us add here in passing that
this hotel could not better
managed than by the Foster Bros.
It was a wonder to how they
could stow away train after train
load of people as they would arrive.
But they did it, way they
fed such a multitude was no less a
wonder. Considering tho
crowd and tho low price of
per day to those hold-
membership
one had ground for
making complaint. Of course
when the house is not so crowded,
as will be the case when the As-
is closed, and the rates
raised to tho regular price of
per day the fare can be more or
less improved.
Wednesday the As-
convened, the opening ad-
dress being delivered by Dr. G.
W. Auditor.
This was before our arrival.
Thursday morning we listened to
the address of the President, Prof.
C- D. Ho spoke on the
organization of the Assembly and
its work ; bow it came to organ-
what it had accomplished
and something it could do in
It was an excellent address.
He bestowed much praise upon
Maj- E. G. Harrell, whom he said
had done more for the success of
the Assembly than any ether per-
son connected with it.
Maj- S. M. Finger, State Super-
intendant of Public Instruction,
exhibited a chart by him
self and gave a lecture on the
of Study for a Four
Mouths He said the law
required that tho public school
term be at least four months and,
supposing that in few instances
are they kept open for a longer
time, he had mapped out a course
of study for four mouths of each
year, beginning at the age of
and closing at and said any
boy or girl, if in the hands of a
competent ought to go
through each course within tho
four months allotted to it.
of this course of study were
discussed by several members of
the Assembly, Prof. being
among those who spoke.
Thursday night the world fa
Rev. T. DeWitt arrived
and delivered a lecture. Ho be
at o'clock and spoke for an
hour and twenty minutes. His
theme was many
of which he pointed out. While
his lecture was good and contain-
ed many good things, it failed to
come up to our expectation. He
is a great man, has a great
possesses a strong,
voice, talks very plainly and
simply, but has poor delivery and
lacks many of the attributes that
go to make an orator. In fact, he
be justly classed an orator.
When we learned that he received
for this lecture, we could but
think there are. numbers of men who
can make a better lecture much
loss money. Still we were glad of
the opportunity of hearing the dis-
divine, for can
ways tho better enjoy reading after
a man when they have both seen
and heard bun.
Friday night lion. W. T.
U. S. Commissioner of Education,
made an address before the Teach-
Assembly, it will be seen that
Secretary Harrell had exerted him-
self to get several distinguished
men to appear before the Assembly.

A writer from Edgecombe county
to the recent published
statistics in that paper of the tobacco
crop in the several tobacco growing
of the State. The writer
has probably fallen into the error of
taking the figures to be a census
the crop of 1890 and sot out to
that the tobacco crop of Edgecombe
the year was three times as
large the figures it Oar
was that tho census
which was taken last year, was for
the crop of and not for
year which the census was taken.
This being the case it hardly needs
proof that tobacco crop of that
county for 1890 was three times as
large as the previous year.
it was so in Pitt, and though
the figures as returned in that
are not by us at this writing we
believe the tobacco crop of Pitt
county was five fold great-
than it was in And the
acreage for 1891 is perhaps double
what it was in 1890. These eastern

Last Friday North Carolina was
again called upon to give up
more of her noble sons, Ex-Gov.
David S. Reid at his home in
Reidsville. He was eighty-eight
years old. His career was on
one and one of much
good to his native State. At the
ago of he was admitted to the
bar. He was State Senator six
years, member of Congress four
years, from 1843 to 1847. In 1848
he was nominated by the Demo-
for Governor, but was de-
by a small majority. In
1850 he was again nominated
against his will and was elected
Democratic Governor of
North Carolina. He led his
party to victory in this State. He
lived to see that party almost
overthrown in the days of
and he lived to see it
again triumphant and the champ-
ion of free suffrage and the rights
of the people, doctrines to which
he was unconditionally committed.
Since the war Reid has not
been much in public life. He died
as he had lived, beloved by his
countrymen.
Tho Republicans of Ohio met
in convention last week and
out their high tariff man, j
As the tariff is his pet hobby j
and as he was the author of the j
infamous measure which is known
throughout tho whole country as
the Bill, it is very prob-
able that tho tariff will made
the issue the campaign. The
Democrats will probably nominate
Gov. Campbell. The election is
four months off and it is
to tell what tho result will
The have nothing to
fear from a long campaign, for the
tho tariff is discussed and
the bettor tho people understand
it tho better are tho chances of the
Democrats. Gov. Campbell has
made a good Governor and ought
to rally the full strength of the
Democratic party, but there may
some who will not
support him. Mr. was
beaten in his own district last fall
for Congress, and going into the
campaign just having been beaten
on- the issue which he will make,
ought to throw the odds decidedly
against him. If the Democrats
will rally their full strength they
can carry the State and legislature
and send a Democrat to the Unit-
ed States Senate in the place of

seems to have lost control of his
party in Ohio, and is now-
seeking his scalp and place in the
national council. The indications
are that Mr. Sherman will not be
returned to the Senate if the Re-
publicans carry the State. If the
Democrats will make a decided
and strong fight they ought
carry the State. The result of tho
election will doubtless much
to do with the Presidential
nations next year on both sides.
Tho long dispute about the
Retiring Sea seal fisheries has at
last been settled. If they had
waited much longer would
probably have boon no use of set-
it, for the seals would have
been a thing of the past. The
states as Iowa, Michigan and Wis
cousin is no longer regarded as a
political as be

publicans from those states have by
score recently admitted that
they considered them doubtful.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

DAVIS MONUMENT MEETING.
Tho visiting committee appoint-
ed by the Governor to visit the
State University and its
condition and work, made a very
satisfactory report. They state
that the University is in a good
condition, and probably doing the
best work in its history. It is very
gratifying to know that all our in-
of learning are doing
so well.
A few weeks ago a Mr.
a well known man and Re-
publican politician of Ohio was
appointed by the President to
visit Europe in regard to for-
and investigate
the matter of so many outcasts of
other countries coming here. He
was very much in favor of restrict-
ed immigration if we may judge
by what he said in regard to the
State of Wisconsin. His sayings
were reported in the Washington
papers, and they greatly
the voters of that State. Ho
saw at once that the Republicans
would lose ground in Wisconsin,
so he out and flatly denied
what he had said. But he was
not to have it all his way here.
The papers showed him up, and
the administration called for his
resignation, but promised him
something better. The affair,
however, shows what kind of a
man he is. It shows that he will
swallow his own words even when
they are true rather than for his
party to lose a few votes. But in
this he only voices the sentiments
of the whole Republican party,
it was this fear of losing votes
that caused the administration to
call for his resignation, and it
is this same fear that causes the
leaders of the party to say that we
need no new immigration laws but
only the enforcement of the
present laws. But this Re-
publicans will do, for the
new comers are mostly
cans.

The reports of correspondents of
tho Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin
issued by tho North Carolina Ex-
Station and State
Service for the week ending Fri-
day, June 19th, 1891, show that tho
weather during entire week has
been the most favorable experienced
for a long time. Tho temperature
has been considerably in excess,
sunshine
latter part of tho week occasional
have prevailed generally-
In consequence crops have made
marked improvement. Grass is
getting under control somewhat,
though still very abundant. The
wheat harvest now progressing has
prevented farmers from devoting
much time to the cultivation of
crops. Farm labor is reported
to obtain. Of crops generally,
cotton shows the least improve-
; it is not all chopped yet, and
stand continues poor. Tobacco has
made a start. The wheat
vest will probably completed
next week; yield be a good
average of excellent quality.
Another week will enable
farmers to bring their work nearly
up to date, will give a better
outlook to the crop prospects. The
condition of crops averages about
the same now in all districts.
