They write and whine and groan
for the safety of the State ticket
this year. They appear to think
that the Democratic party in
North Carolina is in
danger of being beaten and
crushed in the coming campaign.
What kind of orbs they look
through we are not able to
divine. The pupils of their eyes
must have become badly con-
of late. They must be
both cross-eyed and color-blind.
They seem rather to look on
the dark side of side
which does not really exist in
this which is evident-
the production of a gloomy
nature and a distempered
nation. Cheer up, brethren of
the quill. There is no need of
such useless repining and
gloomy forebodings. The Dem-
party is in no danger.
She is as solid and immovable
as the rocks of Her
principles are the principles of
the masses of the people. Her sue
is their success, and they
may be relied upon to look after
their interests. The evils which
you see surrounding her on every
hand are imaginary. The
respectable white
of North
want any more of radical
in theirs. They tried that
awhile, they got a dose
to satisfy them ages to
come. They want any
more the North's greasy car-
pet-baggers to preside over the
destinies of their beloved State.
They don't want to seethe rights
of white freeman ignored, and to
behold stragglers and
acting in the capacity of rulers
and judges among the people.
They have no earthly desire to
witness a repetition of the scenes
and acts of 1868. They will
never be re-enacted within our
borders, No, never The man-
hood and lie courage of the
would never permit such
and fiendish outrages to
blacken the fame and good name
of their State again. This would
be the result of radical success,
and the people know it. A re
turn of the Republican party to
power means a reign of outrage
and plunder and utter disregard
of law. Let them again get the
reins of government in their
hands, and an era of hideous
abominations would be ushered
in. The meanest and lowest and
vilest scoundrels which tread up-
on Northern soil would swarm
into the State like bees, and be
promoted to positions of
and power. We have no
way of judging the future but
by the past; and every one
knows the past record of the rad-
party in North Carolina.
The people would rather
the recollection of that record,
vile as it is, than to see it again
bud and blossom into a fearful
appalling reality. The
are well content to entrust
their interests to Democratic
hands, and they will tell yon so
when they vote on November
Don't let a little close race

The rads will be bur-
out of sight in the coming
election. They will have a more
difficult task of collecting the
remains of the party together
and preparing them for a decent
burial, than they have ever had
in amassing their forces for bet-
tie. The weakest Democrat that

Several exchanges that are re-
at this office began new
volumes last week. That able
paper, the Wilson one
ever watchful to the best interest
of its section, has just began an-
other year. The Graham Gleaner

celebrating a new year in their
existence. May they all live
long and prosper abundantly.
The Tarboro Southerner has a
somewhat contemptible way of
making flings at Pitt county.
Its latest county is
not to be congratulated upon the
number of citizens seeking
money. It is mean enough
to do this but it is far worse to
when duped by a more
expert We notice this
only to remind the Southerner that
Pitt county does not claim the
nativity of either of the two men
who have lately been caught in
a swindle. Both
of them came over from within
the borders of neighboring conn-
ties. The people of Pitt county

it would
still need to be ratified by three
fourths of the State Legislatures
before it could become a law.
In the House there is another
bill which provides that the Con-

day in January and the time of
final adjournment shall be at
on the 31st of December. This
would practically make a
session for the two years
term, with only such recesses as
the two Houses might agree to.
So it is impossible to know just

much business. It is claimed by
the citizens that this is the
town of its in South.
Some of claims made for it
sound very extravagant, but I am
told that are all true. It
draws trade from all the adjacent
counties in Georgia, and the
done with Florida is immense.

And this is a large shipping

to this, much short cotton

Those of people here whom
I have met are first rate folks, and
treat visitors very cleverly. My
association with them has been
very pleasant indeed.
I have in the country near
town two or three time.-, and my
observation of the laud is it
is naturally far below lands of
Pitt county in fertility. In fact I
have yet to find the land in
that think worth as much,
acre for acre, as the land in
tern North Carolina. There is
plenty of fine laud in Georgia, but
it requires more manuring and is
more expensive to cultivate than
are the lands The
farmers here are quite busy now
preparing for planting their crops.
The seasons are at least a mouth
in advance of North Carolina,
it not be long now ere the
farmer commences to sow.
I saw on yesterday afternoon quite
a large field being prepared for
water melons, the ground is
ready plowed laid in rows,
the next thing order being the
manuring of the land and planting
the seeds. The principal crop
here, as elsewhere is cotton, and
like all other farmers those
here are behind with their affairs.
It is only the farmer who
fies and plants a little of every-
thing, who is going to be successful
This not applies to Georgia,
but it applies also to North
every other State. In one
thing I notice that our farmers are
ahead of the Georgians and that is
this. Here the farmers, as a class,
depend almost entirely upon com-
fertilizers to help make
their crops, while the Carolina
farmer is devoting some attention
to fertilizers made at home.

Commercial fertilizers are good
in their place, but I think
other manures picked up around

This is a fine country, filled
with fine people and there is
of room for others to come, but
my advice to all North Carolinians
is to stay at home. The same
amount of energy it will take to
be successful here will give an
equivalent, if not a greater return
in North Carolina and there in
my no grander or more
country than the Old North
State. There is plenty room
in her for all her sons, and those
deserving success will certainly be
rewarded there as I
they will be by

where. I again say to all sons of
North Carolina stay at home, my
friends, for you can no better
county or people than you will
meet with right where you are.
Let well enough alone, and don't
go to running about and looking
for new quarters. I expect,
preventing, to see the borders
of the dear old State before many
mouths have passed away, and
once more at home I shall not be
in a hurry to leave again soon. I
suppose this is long enough, unless
it was more interesting, so I will

A case of
depravity was developed in
room of the Second district
school, on Sycamore street, last
Friday. For several days prior
to that the hat of one of the pupils,
a little girl, aged years, kept
mysteriously disappearing. The
teacher made every effort to fer-
out the mystery. It was
dent to her that some one of the
pupils was hiding the hat, and fail-

resolved to punish the entire room
by keeping them in after hour of
dismissal. There are pupils in
room and those pupils were
kept in almost an hour, or until
the hat would be found by some
one, every evening for nearly a
week. The hat was never found
twice in the same place, and was
always found in the very oddest
places. The little girl whose hat
was missing seemed so unconcern
ed about her predicament as to be
almost listless. Several times she
was asked if she had any idea who
hid her bat. and she replied in the
most guiltless way that she bad
not. Staying an hour late every
evening soon became a burden to
the life of the children that

the girl, kept a close watch on
her action. Friday one of them
saw her slip something behind the
coal box. That evening the hat
was missing again. The teacher,
however, dismissed the school
making some inquiries as to

girl went home After

had noted the girl's actions told
