MAJ. lImL's ADDREsS.-We call attention to the
Address Of Maj. ID. Ii. Hill of this place. delivered
last week before the Committee on Education of the
n. Z. Legislature. 1t is worthy of mature refec-
ton, containing, it does, unanswerable argu-
ments in favor of State aid to the Military Institute at
Charlotte 1t will prove to be wise policy for the
State to foster a military institution within her
borders. The young men educated at such an in
sttution are not only well qualified for professions
where little muscle is necessary, but they fitted
for the sterner duties Of life where bone and muscle
are amportant. The boy should be developed
physically well as intellectually MILITARY schools
do both. Read the Address on our first page to-
day.
Speaking Of Maj Hill, reminds us of what we
intended to mention last week, that his services
have been solicited oy the authorities of South Car
DINA. We learn that the Gov of S. C. has twice
invited Maj Hill to take charge of the Ordnance de-
partment at Charleston. He has seen war as it is,
and his experience and skill are appreciated by
those who know him. North Carolina ought to
secure and retain the services of such men, She
may need them Charlotte Democrat.
