Our best thanks to the Editors of

Dollar Weekly, and Oxferd Free Lance,
tor printing our prospectus. If there be
any others who have done SO, we shall
be glad to receive marked copy, so that
the name may be properly Registered
We did not much expect any paper to
print 1t, owing to It's length, Though we
have printed dozen columns Of prospec-
fuses, special notices, etc., for the Press
during the past ten years., but this only
adds to our appreciation in the cases
where room for it was found.
Many thanks, also, to those papers
which made local mention of the Prospec.
tus. etc. 1t will please us to reciprocate
as occasion offers. The printing of r
A. Shotwell' 5 name, however, was mis-.
apprehension. The writer has never
personally asked anyJody to subscribe, OF
| aHv ha IL L.,
there was a possibility that the person
might comply out Of kindness and sym.
pathy without really caring to do so.
Hence we offer the paper on its merits
regardless of the editor.
Gen. Thomas L. Clingman has ISSUED
an address, or letter. setting forth hi
views on North Carolina politics 1t il
interesting, amusing, and valuable, to tht
student of political history; for it un
earths nany long~forgottep points o
party tenets. Drifting down through Al
years of public life, the General reache
and endorses the Liberal movement o
to-day. lie thinks it will unhorse tn,

lican, and the Democratic parties, ant
rebound pro bono puJhco. 1t is said b.
predicts $4,000 majority for the nev
movement. Dismissing his presen
views, we can but remark that we hav
never joined In the somewhat common
dlsparagement of Gen. Clingman of lat
years. History will pronounce him on
of the most remarkable men that Nortl
Carolina has produced. He served fo
years in the Legislature, was for Il year
member of Congress, land among tn
most promlnent), was six years Sena
tor, and during the war commanded on
of the most noted brigades in tie South
ern Army. His speeches and writing
compose very large volume. and vii
compare with any ever delivered in Nortl
Carolina, in subject matter, literary ant
scientific attainments, and exalted sentl
nenst. Such career does honor to hi
State, as we'll as himself
Gen. Clingman's course since the wa
has not been fortunate. He has manage,
to get thoroughly ''out" with both parties
although not claimed by either. This
to be regretted for he has ability to serv
the State, aud the State needs the al
of all her sons.
