the South. But / take it, Mr.. Editor, that
our rulers will not wiring the heavy taxes off
the people to build fancy air lines for poll
ticians and fast men to go to Washington or
New York. Very few of our people up here
are in that line of business just now. We
want railroad that will connect US first
with our own State Capital, our cities and
towns, with the nearest and best seaport,
whether in or out of the State, and then we
are willing to go in for all and every road
and scheme that promises to improve our
condition, and we earnestly invoke the dis
tillers of bad whiskey in Yadkin county
not to do the people of Wilkes AND Caldwell,
of Ashe and Watauga, of Mitchell, and even
large portion of your own citizens, so
great wrong as the opposing of the North
Western North Carolina road through your
own borders would be. Charlotte is not
the only city in which whlskey is allowed
to run the gauntlet, or where it is drank
freely.
Mr.. Editor, allow me to apologize for the
unexpected length of my letter hardly
thought OF saying word on the subject of
Railroads when began to write-my ex-
cuse is its great importance to this COM
munity. Only one other item, then promise
to close. Judge Anderson Mitchell has just
closed the Spring Term on his Circuit, (the
10th.) l think it has been regarded as q
carnival feast for the Lawyers Of the Circuit.
By the ruling of His Honor judgments were
taken on very large scale; the Stay Law of
the Legislature was ignored, and as it
worked grievous wrong to the small
creditor class, the Magistrates, in most cases,
gave judgment within their jurisdiction.
The result is much property has been and
must still be sold to pay costs and debt.
Many men who were rich before the war are
now poor,-their property gone and debts
unpaid. 1t is little unusual for the ju-
dietary to differ SO widely as to the justice
and legislation as ours in North Carolina.
It is saying that war justifes the means.
If so 1t looks like its effects ought to be
treated in the same degree. No one doubts
Judge Mltchell's integrity, but he is living
in the past age. Men who live solitary and
alone as Judge Mitchell, rich in goods, al
most without "kith or kim" with fixed
salary ample for all life-wants, can hardly
be expected to sympathize with the troubles
and misfortunes of the less fortunate in these
respects. Pure and unspotted as Judge NJ.
is admitted to be by the writer, he is liable
to err

mental members of society. There is one
thought which, no doubt, will greatly con-
sole them-there were too many lawyers,
there being about ten of them to one client,
and those who are now silenced will have
the happy consciousness of having suffered
that others might be benefited. The young
lawyers who would have waited for years in
seedy anxiety now stand faint chance of
getting client, and one client, if judicious-
ly bled, will enable them to support life for
long time. In the meantime we watch

BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
The North Carolina Baptist Sunday School
Association held a Convention in Raleigh,
commencing Friday last and ending Sunday,
June 18th. Delegates were present from all
parts of the State, and also from Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia. Rev. S. D. Phillips,
for fourteen years a missionary to Africa,
was present and gave interesting lectures on
missionary work in that part of the country.
The sittings of the Convention were spent in
essays and discussions on the subject of
Sunday Schools and the best methods of
teaching On the Sabbath sermons were
preached by the Divines in the city from a
distance at the Baptist, Methodist and Pres.
byterian Churches. In the afternoon meet
ing of the Sunday Schools in the city was
held in the Baptist Church, which was at
tended by over four hundred children and
the house was crowded. Interesting and
instructive addresses were made for the
children, and they showed deep interest in
the subjects presented. The singing was
done by the schools, and the beauty and
power of the music produced by those 400
voices, attuned to notes of sacred praise,
would be unsurpassed by anything chris
tian mother ever listened to. The very best
of feeling prevailed during the sitting of the
Convention, and no doubt much good will
result from the prayerful deliberations of
these good men, who interest themselves in
giving spiritual instruction to these young
people who will so soon give tone and char
acter to society.
