President Battle and the s0a'o
Of Agriculture.

A the retention of President Battle
of the University OH the Board OF Agri-
culture has been criticised. pardon me
for suggesting some reasons why the
General Assembly acted wisely

bat has led an active life. His financial
and railroad experience. as State Treas
urer. Bank Director, President OF the
Chatham r. Il. during the war, &c,
&c, will be of assistance 20 the Board.
4. President Battle personally visited
the Experiment Stations at the North
in 1876 and studied their workings. lie
was the first man to advocate n IN
North Carolina. He made speeches III
1876 over the State urging it, establish
ment. and addressed the General As
sembly on the subject. In recognition
of his labors the Assembly located the
Chemical Department at Chapel Hill;
and DR.. Ledoux and DR.. Dabney have
testified repeatedly that his %counsels
were of eminent service in securing the
admitted success of this branch of the
| work of the Board. | am sure that
Pres. Battle did not solicit any members
of the General Assembly to retain him
in his post, but he will do his duty con-
scienticusly.
If any future President of the Uniyer-
sity should be a mere book-worm, unac-
quainted with the practical interests OF
the State. the General Assembly can
amend the Act by leaving this officer
out, but it Will be conceded that the
present President can be of great SER
wee to the Board in many ways.

build high, so as to hold a large quantity
of hay above the cattle. Then put your
rows Of stanchions crosswise of the

and three and one half feet is about the
right thing for distance between STAN

THE Roof OF ALL EvIL.-Corruption
and ~venality In high places are unpleas-
ant features of American public life
which intelligent foreigners invariably
comment upon. Does it ever occur to
them that Protection is at the bottom
OF much of our corruption? The people,
not knowing how heavily they are a
ed, pay into the public treasury every
year millions upon millions of dollars to
be stolen or wasted under villa ever
pretext may be most convenient. or at
the instance of the most plausible ofthe
.coundrels who may for the moment
find themselves in power. This enor-
nous surplus is a constant temptation
to every schemer, lobbyist and thief in
the country to come on and try his luck.
The Tariff system, too, is a se'f-sus-
tanning iniquity. The m%onopolies that
flourish and grow rich under its opera
ton are always able and willing to spend
their millions in bribing Congressman,
rather than allow the people any
real relief from their burdens. Char
lesion Courier.
Right you are! The evil is becoming
more apparent year by year.
