AIMING those most instrumental in setting the Dali
IN motion, which has since rolled out the Winning
ton. Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad Company
were the people of Charlotte Gentlemen from That
Mace urged upon the people Of Wilmington to take
initiative and Wilmington did take it. A grand
convention was held at Charlotte, and much enthu'
s;asm was displayed, IN which the people of Char
lotte participated Wilmington in it's corporate ca
Dacitv has come forward to secure the charter-the
counties and communities west of Charlotte have
acted What has Charlotte done! We have not
heard that she has as yet moved. Why is this
We know the people of Charlotte and OF Meck'en'
burg generally. They are rich-they are Puoho
spirited Is their present position worthy OF them
Is it fulfilling The reasonable expectations OF their
co.workers or those with whom they should be CO.
workers, along the line ? We cannot think that II
is-we feel certain that it is not. 1t is not worthy
Of one of the weathiest and most Intelligent commu-
mites in the State.
We cannot but think that the good people OF
Mecklenburg, and Of her prosperous and growing
county seat, will yet come forward nobIy 10 the WORK
Thew have the means and the inducements. Come
up, gentlemen, like men-hke yourSeEUeS.
1rz- The Herald of Friday rather exceeds ltselt
tn use its own words, it out-Herods Herod. In
commenting upon its illusions, drawn out by the
Democratic meeting, held Tuesday evening OF last
County Court, we quoted its own language In which
it referrel 10 the persons composing that meeting 'S
coming from the classic retreats Of Holly Shelter
and Upper Black River, and inslnuated that IN Vo-
ting for the resolutions passed, they lid not kho"
what they were voting for II thinks that the quo
talion of its own language was mean, and SO 1o5'h
Now, we freely admit that the quotations were all
that the Herald says, and SO far we agree with H.
But these quotations were its o1ca language 1or
which we are not responsible. We are not inclined
TO quarrel about the value ii places upon its own eX
pressions We gave it credit for candor at least IN
its language and tone, but it seems that we were
wrong. 1t repudiaes this view OF the case alto
gether. If it chooses to take this position we have
nothing to say farther than that 1t makes charge
against itself, which we have not done. We have al
no time drawn any but the plain and unavoidable IN
ferenCes from it's language.
It comes rather strangely from the Herald TO talk
about personal friendship when il is the fact that IN
stead of commenting upon the resolutions of the
meeting as such, it mainly attacked one of the com
rni,tee reporting hem and the main stock in trade
that paper, has been for months reference less tt
BIRTH place of one of the Editors OF this paper
Does il not recolect threatening us with the eerna
recollection OF this thing and that thing which th'
members OF the order would never forget, etc.9
For SALE The proprie,ors of the Goldsboro, N
C, New Era, for reasons altogether private in thei
nature, are DESTROYS of disposng OF their entire in
terest in the paper. The subscription list is goo
and the prospects of the paper fair. The material
are nearly new. Address T. K. Kennedy Co, 0
the Editor of the New Era" Goldsboro'.
This is, we think excellent opportunity for
gentleman practically qualified to publish goo
Agricultural Paper adapted TO the demands of N. c
especially the Eastern portion. Few Editors of pa
pers have sufficient practical experience in iarnin
matters TO make paper reliable and valuable fc
farmers everyday use. AS forrecpes and instruction
of various kinds going the rounds of the papers the
are really of little or no account, and are hardly
noticing unless in cases where the Editor has som
acquaintance with the matter and either endorse
them or gives good authority.
GOldsboro is the place for good farmers pape
and the New Era offers the field TO go on. We hay
not noticed it particularly for sometime, but it has
ways been very capital paper.
GYNAsIUM.-We are pleased 10 notice that M
VIM. H. Bauer is fitting up a gymnasium in this plac
which, for the health of our citizens, especially II
more sedentary portions, will, we trust, be liberal
supported. If a certain portion of the day were
be exclusively devoted to ladies and they would av'
themselves of it the advantages would be incalcul
Bile. The development of the physical system esp
cially in youth is matter which cannot be t.
highly estimated
We shall reCur to this matter more fully. Tod
we are pressed for time and room.
