First and most important isthe improvement of our educa-tional faciliti-s. Thic mus: bedone. The Stat«Ts stain: f illiter-acy must be wiped out. The(question then rarrows down tothe perfecting of the publicgcbools and iuducing a regular~attendance upon them. We donot advocate compu'sory educa-~tion. ~That is too undemocratic.But something must be done.9. Diversified industries, fromfarming to manufacturing. The~day has passed when we mayexpect to grow rich or even pros:perous alone ou our crops of~eotton and tobacco. Our climateis suitable for the cultivation of~nearly any product of the United~States. Attention must be direct:ed more to what is looked uponas small things, dairying. poaltryraising, various foods for bethman and beast, fruit frowing,trucking, «tc. The numerousthrough lines of railroads pierc-ing the State open up abundantmarkets for us, and thonsands ofdollars will pour into the S*atewhere now not onecones. Nota-ble examples of this are the won-derful development of the truck-ing and fruit-growing industry ofthe Eastern portion of the Statein the past few years, where onlya little stuff was made for the fewhome markets that have beenpened up to the Nort Carolinafarmers and fruit growers. Itowould be interesting to knowhow many thousancs vf dollarswere brought into the State thisoyear by the -trawberry cropalone. Webave often heard thecry of odiversify,� odiversify ;bat it is astern necessity. In man-ufacturing the chief cperationsdre in cotton mills, of which thereare a large number in the State,wany of them having paid hand-~-some profits until the hard timesset in, since whea few have donemuch more than keep going.Profits will doubtless revivewith the revival of business.Other manuiactures will be builtws the population grows moregustaining and opportunities ofsuccossful invenstments arise.3. Road Making. This mustbe an important question in theSlate for at least the next quarter@acentury. We take it thatthenecessity and desirability of goodroads are sslf evident. No ag-ricultural country can long re-: n the highest state of prosless the farmers haveover� which they canickly andT cheaply carryis to market. Theptiment in Northent, but it seems_ May it not de-; How a oDuel� Was Managed.A recent newspaper article~| mentioned the name of the lateKit Warren, who won fame as. 4humorist in , Georgia. Severalinteresting stories were told ofhim, but the following appearsia print for the first time:When he was editing 4 countrynewspaper a subscriber whom hehad effended with criticism senthim a challenge for a fight withshotguns. :He told the bearer to bes-ated,when he asked him the prica ofbuckshot. :oThirty cents a pound,� was thereply-oNow said Kit, owhat is powerselling at?�oSixty cents.�Then he turned his pocketsinside out"fished up a bunch ofkevs and several due bills, lookedthem over thoughttully, thenwrote this reply to his challenger:oDear Jim: Yours received.{[ wouid be glad to accommodateyou, but your friend tells me thatshot is thirty cents a pound andpowcer sixty. | And I canTt investthat much money in ~em thesehard times. If, however, youwill lend me ninety cents I willeecure you by a mortgage on thepaper, ard accommodate youwith a few loads in any regionyou may suggest.

The collections for Aug.ust from this source were $46,892.If that were the average for theyear, instead of nearly doublewhat the average will probablybe, the total would still be onlyabout $560,000.Aud the siza of the total deficitfor the month indicates that thisis a fair example of the workin5of the vaunted oDiugley scientificschedules.� Conld the mosttranscendental cf cloudlacd tarifftheorists have done worse ?T"~New"»| Lork World,HOW IT Is.How much are you worth ?Measured by the tape line of thisworldTs valuations, you are rich orpoor, worth much or little, accordingto the dollar you own. Mea3ured bythe rule of heaveu, you are worth justwhat you can take with you into thethe nex: life.A man who possesses in this life amiliion dollars is not worth a cent onem-:ment after he is dead. Bank booksare out of place in a dead manTs coffin.Shroucs have no pockets. All thewealth of the universe could not pur-chase a single moment of time, or helpa man to retain his hold, upon hisearthly riches for one hour. You areworth whatever of good deeds youbave to your credit on the other side ofdesth. If you bave been honest, up-right, faithful, full of kindness, andhaye builded your character alongthese lines, you are rizh. If you havebeen narrow-minded, covetous, grasp-ing, hard--hearted and selfsseking, youare poor indeed, even though thewealth of a gold mine ig yours,"Dur-": ¥-, "Money Stolen.Yesterday afternoon, when thetrain came in on the SeaboardAir Line, Mrs. AnnieT Bond, wid-ow of the late Mr. Fred I.
