Agricultural Association, have appointed

Menninger, r. W. Best, W. Fl. JONES' A.
L. Mall and I. Dunn.
All of these are gentlemen Of enterprise
and energy, and we hope that large success

our people do not respond to calls made
upon them to assist il futhering this i'm

full apathy to the best interest of the State.

Won't REsIeN.-A prominent citizen OF
Chapel Hill suggested to President Pool
the propriety of the whole Faculty of the
University resigning. President Pool said
he would not do so for 500 dollars. LII
the institution was not patronized he could
have it closed for four or five years, and
he wonld do so. He intended to remain
the President. We don't think Solomon
and his associates, Brewer and Company,
could close it more effectually than they
have done. RAJ. Sentinel.
HPR1NcE LAFL1N.-This ex-State Proxy oi
the N. G. Railroad is yet on hand. We
hear he has not been among his constltu'
ents but once since his election. Well,
who can blame him. Men are said to be
social animals, and Latin partakes OF the
characteristic of his kind. If he should
90 to Pitt there are but few white mon who
would associate with him. It is pity
Holden should call in his free passes, or
the railroads of the State by failing to make
him State proxy.
The Governors proxy has had some
