na~ One of the Editors of this paper visited

B5g~ One of the Editors of this paper visited
Clinton last week. during the session of Sampson
County Court, on business connected with this Of
fee. Our Acknowledgements arc due to the citizens
of that County for the prompt manner in which
they forward to settle their various accounts,
as well as for the liberal and unwavering support
which they have extended to the paper since its
first establishment in 1914. Efforts which have re-
suited in securing for us such noble hearted and
steadfast supporters, certainly have not been in
vain and it is pleasure to know that such are not
confined to County nor to one District, but are
to be found everywhere throughout the State to
which our circulation has extended.
1t is pleasing to remark the signs OF improvement
visible upon all hands. both in the East and in the
West, bat more particularly in that section with
which we are brought in more imm ediate connec-
tion, namely the Second and Third Congressional
Districts In no respect has that improvement been
greater or more cheering in its promises of future
good, than in the impulse which has been given to
the cause of education. The interest awakened
upon this subject offers tangible proof of its exist
ence in the many excellent Summaries of learning
both male and female which have arisen in almost
every County. While speaking of Sampson, we
cannot conclude without some reference to the Gin
ton Female Seminary, which certainly reflects
honor upon those connected with it. Its prosperity
is purely public good, since sort of profit il
sought for hy its Trustees, save that derived from
placing the facilities of good education within the
reach of the young ladies of Sampson and The
neghborn5 Counties, without the necessity of send
ing them to distance from their friends and pa
rents. Such institutions are worthy of all encour
agement, and we are much pleased to learn of thu
high prosperity which the Clinton Female Seminary

The State ConvcntIon-The Time of Holding 1T.
We notice that several papers of the Democratic
party in North Carolina, are recommending the hol-
ding of the State Convention for the nomination of
Governor, and for other purposes connected with
the organization of the party with reference to the
ensuing campaign, at very early day,-some as
early as January February. We agree with them
such season as would be most convenient for the
delegates from the country, and would interfere least
with farming operations for it is highly desira-
bic that it should be composed of sod bona de rep
resentatves of the real and permanent interests Of
the State-the bone and snew of the party, and not
of mere politicians by profession. Taking this fact
into consideration, therefore, think that
ier time of meeting than that of the last Convention
should be agreed upon say the first week in April,
or the last in March Sooner, would look upon
as impractcable For instance, in our own county it
has been usual to hold meeting for the appointment
of delegates to the State Convention, and for purpo-
ses of county organization, on Tuesday of March
County Court--Court commencing the second
Monday in the month. This is about as soon as
the 9th er counties in the district move or are pre-
pared to move it would, therefore, be impossible
we think, to have full and fair representation OF
all the counties before the time We have indicated
The longer it is rostponed after that time the

indeed from the town, too
