WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION. In the course of a column in State the following passage In a talk the other day with Mr. R- H. the tor of the Manufacturer's Record, of Baltimore, the leading organ of Southern development, he told us something which is ate to this case. Two or . three years ago, said, ho spent some time in Polk county, North Caro- near Try on, border of this State; and during his stay hundreds of people from the North came the neighbor hood to prospect for homes. He observed that although a many bought laud settled in Polk county none located the South Carolina side of although the natural attractions were folly as great. When he in- quired the reason for this dis- he was told b- of them that they did not settle in South Carolina because in this State the laws were not enforced. The frequency of in South Carolina and their infrequency in North Caro- had impressed they said that they would not locate in this State if could get land gratis, for they feared that would not be protected by the government. We far from glad that situation in South Carolina is as it is here represented, but it is an infinite satisfaction to know that North Carolina's reputation as a State is so good. All those who love it it well should do all their r to see that this character is served. In the first above everything to keep our in- hands free of the stain of crime, and next we should de sire, for every reason, that the State should stand fairly in eyes of the sisterhood. This can not be if lawlessness prevails and especially not if lynch law be- comes prevalent. We delight to have an outsider speak of the infrequency in North Carolina of this great crime.

Of the houses built at this time, or, at any time previous, during the early days of New Amsterdam, the oldest now standing is a quaint, three- story brick structure at William street. The house, which has changed in appearance but little since it was first built, is owned by Thomas B. Guilford. of Toms River, N. J., by whose ancestor, Samuel Guilford, it was purchased from its builders in 1773. Prior to that year nothing of the owner of the place is known, for the records of transfer have long since crumbled to dust, and nothing now remains of the original builders but queer-looking house, the , . bricks of which have outlived the of joy awoke my sons and of the men He sighed when he realized whose hands laid them.
