Prof. Kerr has in charge for the
Department Of Agriculture some very
fine specimens of wheat, oats, grasses,
and wool from Merino and Cotsw0ld
sheep. They were taken from the Ala
nance stock farm, owned by Robt. w.
Scott, a nephew Of the late ID. w.
Kerr. Mr.. Scott will shortly establish
a first class stock farm. Success to
him. We need more of them. The
agricultural as well as the manufactur-
ing interest is increasing in Alamace.
"A subscriber wishes to know if it
be true that opposition will be made to
the trial of the Best as. Buford Rail
road case on the ground that the Judges
hold tree passes from Messrs. Butord &
Co. We reply by asking-Is it possible
that our judges do accept these favors
from a powerful corporation upon whose
interests they must SO often sit in judg-
ment?
We predict that the coming cleo
ton will be noted for years, as the most
astonishing series of surprises" that
ever occurred in the political history
of the State. Many things not expec
ted will happen, and many counties
will distinguish themselves by going
''squarely back" ON their present
promise" Lucky will be the politi-
clan whose obscurity has enabled him
to hide in the woodpile and not so much
as show his nose in the contest.
Human nature is essentially dra-
matte. Nine hearts out of ten will
thrill with emotion on witnessing the
solemn parade of a military funeral with
flag wrapped coffin borne upon an artil-
lery caIsOn. Whereas, an hour later,
another funeral dragging after a latter
ed and dusty hearse would scarcely stay
the Outburst Of laughter that CHANGED
to be at the lips. The difference is en-
tirely theatrical. The plain man, in a
plain coffin, with meagre cortege, NAV
be to our full knowledge a thousand
times superior to the other one. But
the pomp and parade and waving
plumes have a suggestiveness Of Hero
ism and Glory" and our hearts are
moved by it.
The catalogue of Bingham School
Is before us. During the l72nd and
l73rd sessions, the year 1880, 247 pu-
pills were in attendance, 1O7 of whom
were from outside of the limits of Nolth
Carolina. Twelve Southern and four
Northern States and three foreign
countries are representative largest
area of patronage which any school in
the United States can show as far as we
can learn. From eye witnesses we hea1
most favorable accounts of the discip
line and instruction. As North Caro-
hnlans we are glad that this North
Carolina school has gotten ahead of any
similar enterprise in the South.
We must urge our friends in send
ing money to register their letters, OF
buy a postal order. The latter is better.
1t will cost you nothing, for we allow
the 10 cents to be deducted from your
subscription price.
Also, please drop US a postal, if the
money is not receipted for in the next
paper after the time it ought to have
come to hand.
We make this note because there is 6
good deal of stealing going on. We
have lost two letters within a week. A
letter from Baltimore to Raleigh could
hardly GO amiss, because it never leave.
