proachng commencement.
Suspended, and greatly crippled during
the war, Erskinc is alive again and dong
what she can i'll the great work Of cducat q
ing the youth Of The state and country.
The number of students tho pas. year
has been small, compared with former
years, but the exercises have been regularly
kept up and number Of excellent young
men have been receiving the benefits of the

We arc gratiGcd to learn that our
fcllow-citizen, JAMES M. RUTLAND,
Esq has received the appointment as
Register in Bankruptcy for tho third

This appointment we heartily cn-

Claims for Cotton Seized or Destroyed

If there arc any crumbs of comfort
to be found in the itcm of intelligence
below, taken from The Charleston
Courier, we hopo our readers whom it
concerns may surely gather thcm.
If either the cotton seized here
since tho war, or its equivalent in
greenbacks, could be recovered, times
would not be SO hard. Says tho
Courier:
Mr.. ThGs. Wilson, of Washington
City, quo1dam partner of the late
Tom Corwin, of Ohio, and now prac-
ticing in the Courts of the District of
Columbia, has arrived in this city for
tho purposo of collecting testimony in
reference % many claims Of our citi-
zcns for cotton seized or destroyed by
tho Fodersl authorities, which he is
now prosecuting in their behalf. Ho
is domicili ID at the Mills House.
1T my be however that only
"loyal" cotton is meant.

The English papers fear that this yea,

The English pnpcrs fear that this yea,
will witness tho dire shadow Of last years
commercial eclipse. There Is in England
q perfect denrh of credit, which is already
painfully and pinohingly felt, and much OF
it is ascribcd to Insolvency Of tho railroads
upon which many families have depended
for small incomes in tho shape of dividends
Money that was borrowed when money was
easy to obtain, has now to DO repaid, when
it is all but impossible to borrow, and many
families Of moderate means arc casting
their hundred year into an abyss from
which not n particle Of ii can over return
and there is no help for it,; while pride, tho
dread Of losing caste, and tho droad Of los.
ing situations prevents many struggling
man from taking n step which would put an
end to life long burden.

JACOB JOHNSON,
An honest man, beloved and
Respected by all who knew him.
Born ---,
Died January, 1912,
From disease caused by an over
effort i'll saving the life of
his friends"

The President aud party, accompa-
niod by Governor Worth, General
Sickles, and others, having reached
the ccmetary in carriages, were con-
Quoted to platform near the monu-
ment. n very large number of spec
tators were present, all apparently
deeply interested in the ceremonies.
After the preliminary religious ex-
crcises, Hon. David Swain, j. j.. d.,
President of the State University, de-
livcrcd an address, in which he traced
the history of Raleigh, and in this
connection alluded to Jacob johnson,
who, by decd of noble daring, saved
from drowning, Mcssrs. Henderson
and Callum, at the ultimate cost of
his own life, passing away eventually a
martyr to humanity. The following
obituary uutioo writtom Wy ouiu".i
Henderson, the editor of the Raleigh
Star, is copied from that paper Of the
18th January, 1912:
sDicd in this city, on Saturday last,
Jacob johnson, who had for many
years occupied an humble but useful
station. I[o was city constable, sex
ton, and porter to the State Bank.
In his last illness he was visited by
the principal inhabitants of tho city ;
by all of whom he was esteemed for
his honesty, sobricty, industry and hu-
nanc and friendly disposition. Among
all by whom he was known and cs-
tcemcd, none lamcntcd him more, cx-
ccpt, perhaps, his own relations, than
the publisher of this paper, for he
owes his life, on particular occasion
to the boldness and humanity of John.

Difficulty between tho Railroad Compa
MES,

A very remarkable contest is going
on between the S. G. Railroad and
the Augusta and hamburg RAILROAD
companies. Now that the latter road
is nearly completed, after working
upon it for about three years, tho Off
GERS of the former will not allow the
track Of tho now line to cross that of
the S. G. r. r., near Columbia. They
prevent it by keeping an engine eth.
or standing upon or running frequent.
ly by the spot over which the new
road should pass.

At Ednburg, Scotland, few weeks
since, man named Pollock, living in a
tenement house, was reading by his fire
side, when the hearthstone suddenly
gave way under him, and he fell into a
deep cavern full of water. His wife
reached down and held him by the hair
until assistance arrived. 1t turned out
that the house had been built over the
ruins Of on ancient malt kiln, of which
none of the occupants suspected the OK
tence.

ARMY BEsERTIoN ON TIE PLAINS. Tho
cost and incniciency Of our Indian wars is
notorious. Ono reason is, that they are
always speculalions, In which tho worst
sort Of men aro engaged. Another is, that
the soldiers turn adyenturors in tho new
country which they enter, and desert. OF
he expedition Of Gen. Custar into tho In
dian country, il appears that 800. with their
horses and outfits, havo deserted, and this
wholesale disappearance has oil taken place
within month, tho cntro forco being only
from 600 to 2000 strong. 1t requires only
a simple calculation to show just how Gene

enemy. Descrtion has always been epidem-

quato remedy has yet been proposed for 1t.

THE NEGRO VoTE.--We nre indebted TO
the Now York Times, q leading Republican
organ, for the following sound opinion. It
says:
at is impossible that tho whites and
blacks of the South should bo mustered into

sequent hostility in all The relations of life.
Their only hope lies in harmony Of scnti-
mont, based on conviction of harmony of
interest. And tho systematic crusade which
is now going on, and which tends directly 10
n disturbance Of these relations, may we'll
cause disQuict and resentment to tho whites

Any section can be replaced by dup

1t plows at any depth, from three to
twelve inches, works perfectly i'm either stubble or
