given by a correspondent OF the
Raleigh Odserrer, and says F.:
.sShadeS of John Randolph
Making a compound English word
on a false foundation, ont of an
ancestral aboriginal name he always
swore by. But, see Colonel Byrd's
original exploration of the Roam
oke, and it was not remarkable for
its oaks, but for its reed covered
banks and its crystal waters, SC
clear that the explorer predicted
that in after wears they would be
used in the coronation of the flu
ture Emperors of America, after
the custom of the Egyptian Kings.
Those crystal waters, alas. no"

That portion II Swift Greek
township lying on Tar river has
partial Y a virtual no-tence law.
Lets see how it operates. Tar
river is a legal fence and the far
mers owning contiguous farms or
miles by agreement join their
outside fences. This saves nine
tv miles of fence. The cost Of
this, allowing 1913 rails to the
mile making $500 rails at one
cent a rail, is S6,336.0O. The
system has been IN operation
about ten years. Now counting
ten per cent. d year for ten years
for repairs, You have So $500,
add this 10 first cost and YOU
have the snug sum OF Sll6120O
saved to a few individuals. 1t
Will be observed we nave only
calculated for ore side Of the
river-the North side. Under
this fence an average Of LOO
bales of cotton are Produced.
And the coiored laborerS would
leave the township before they
would see the fences replaced
| We interviewed old Ben Gray
an ancient man Of color, who la.
accumulated property in thi:
township. and he says he would
leave the county before he woulo
work under another system
Will the legislature set this ?

has agreed on recommending to the board, to
be acted upon at its next meeting, some changes
in its organic law, which win have the effect to
increase the interest of the local bodies in its

propriate committee OF Congress the action Of the
