you that l could bring u dozen men

would say they would not believe you

calmly the witness made reply ;r'1

Newspapers, says tho Philadelphia
Times, are being extensively used in
many of the public schools of the West
in place of books for reading lessons.
Tho wisdom of this course is apparent.
Much more is to be learned from one
good newspaper than from half II dozen
ordinary school readers, and a we'll
edited paper is quite as trustworthy
in matter of good English; it is full Of
contemporancous history, of intelligent
discussion, and affords a picture Of the
world, II study Of which is nearly as
beautiful rs experience of it. A great
deal about everything can be found in
an cnterprisins journal, and the student
who carefully reads one day by day
will find himself better capable ofundcr-
standing the cxactions of the world
into which he is about to be thrown
and of fighting his battles than if nc
followed too exclusively tho pages OF
ancient history. Tho newspaper is the
educator of our day, but for all that
there must be II care about newspa-
pers they arc not all alike, and IL great
many of them would not be desirable
in a school room.

4 t. u
Tho discovery Of a mound in Narth
Carolina, with n number of we'll he
served corpscs of unknown natpteal'ts
has revived a hope OF Sir >Nat.
Raleigh that some trace might yetfl
found of the famous Roanoke coloDl8
The remains and contents of the .el1' Oft
are undergoing careful exaInf1.,t5u,
and if it is possible to decide that they,
arc the Roanoke cofony-iost antt'
found-nO doubt it will he done. 1t
was in 1887 that the famous lost col
ony, the subject OF SO much search,
speculation and romance, landed at
Roanoke, and formed a friendship with
Manteo, who was made u Christian, a
feutlal baron, as the Lord of Roanoke,
the first gentleman in America. 1t
was that colony which gave birth to
Virginia Dare, the firstciild born here
of English parents. It was three years,
on account of war, Spanish armada and
home troubles, before a ship with sup
plies and tho Governor of the colony,
Virginia Dare's grandfather, returned
to Roanoke. All that remained Of tho
colony, or Manteo and the friendly In
dams to toll of its fate, was the incrip-
tion, "Croatan,' on the bark of q tree.

The present State administration is
entitled to commentator for its eff
forts to secure to the State from the
general government Il large quantity
of additional lands to which the State
was justly entitled. These efforts
have been crowned with success and
patents for over $4,000 acres of land
were last week forwarded to Gov.
Smith from the General Land Office
of the United States. Another claim
by Gov. Smith is still pending which
it is confidently expected will be al

will prove equal to any emergency, and
cordially endorse his nomination.
The convention did its work wisely
and WELL The ticket which we have
thus briefly sketched is composed of
energetic, worthy, competent and rep
resentative men, and is presented to
the people of Pierce county for their
suffrage at the polls in November in
the confident hope and expectation
that it will be heartily endorsed. 1t is
a ticket which merits and should re-
ceive the approval of every Republi-
can voter in the county, and there are
many not now CHASING themselves as
Republicans who can much more con-
sistently support it than they can the
ticket nominated by that combination
which our friend of the Plaindealer
