"HONEsT AND CAPABLE"
7or. Of the Goldsgoro Aessens


Icannot close without saying word
about the most prominent gentleman
before the public, for Lieut.. Governor,
Mai. Chas. NJ. Stedman. Our people
are very enthusiastic for him. He
has every qualification to insure a
successful canvass. He is polished
gentleman of engaging manners-a
captivating and logical speaker. An
unblemished record, money to conduct
the canvass to successful end. and
the party could do no better than to
nominate him. He is worthy, he is
honest, and capable. The test that
should be applied to all our public
men, and were we to do so, and adhere
to that principle, We would have a
better government.
We expect to send our friends to
the State Convention, with determi
nation to secure his unanymous nomi
nation, and while it would be great
sacrifice to his business and practict
here, we feel that the State must have
some of his sterling judgment in th'
administration of her government, ant
the nation be made aware of his wortl
as ripe Statesman.

Verdicts of Juries are beginning to
indicate that some one thinks Railroad
Companies have some rights as well
as ''the people," Why there should
be so much prejudice against Rail-
roads in the minds of intelligent peo-
pie, we cannot comprehend. A little
thought and reflection will give US
tice to all concerned after awhile.
What account would the lands in this
country be without convenient Rail
road facilities? Were it not for the
Railroads running into the city, eggs
would be six cents per dozen and
chickens s cents piece-corn 80 cts,
per bushel, and no market for flour
more than a wagon load about once q

From the Bakersrillc Voice.


A "gem of art is the japanese
patch work now being arranged by
Mrs. Maj. Tappan of this town. 1t
is composed of silk scraps, some of
which are centenarians in age; others
are pieces from the dresses of famous
women. One quiet looking gray scrap
is from the dress of "the greatest wo-
man who has ever expressed her nat
ure in literary form''-George Eliot !;
another from the dress of "Parepa ;"
third from the beautiful "Juliet, :"
Adelaide Nelson; also a ribbon from
the bonnet of the Princess of Wales.
1t is, however, the center piece which
challenges attention and admiration.
Done in colored silk, representing the
Madonna and child, it is almost equal
to crayon in shading, and is OF itself
a perfect work of art. 1t was embroid
cred in Paris by the sisters of Mercy
and by them presented to Mrs. Tap
pan, through friend. When com

NEW MEN WANTED.
Another Splendid Endorsement of the
Sentiners Position.
From the Elizabeth Cty Falcon.

From the Elizabeth City Falcon.
No doubt it would be very pleas
ant sensation to be able to hope that
the next Legislature of North Caro-
lima will be a body somewhat fairly
representative of the brains, the intel
ligence and the industrial interests of
the State. It is rather more than sin
gular that men unfit, unlearned and
totally unequipped should be sent to
the Legislature year after year to
make laws for the government and
regulatian of society at large. And
vet how much of this have we seen in
North Carolina? Our average Solon
goes to Raleigh puffed and with his
own Importance, and his pockels full
of little private bills, which he fires
off right and left during the entire
session. To make Tadpole creek
Lawful! fence, to prevent the telling of
persimmon trees on Goat island, to
change the name of the Edward
Everitt debating society, to prohibit
dredging for mud turtles in Alligator
swamp,-that he considers his prime
| duty to his constituents and the rest
of the people who pay for the time he
consumes.
We want legislators of little more
bredth. We want men who are IA
miliar with society's real needs and
have brains and honesty enough to do
something that will meet them. We
want Lawmakers who are not afflicted
with the idea that their prime duty is
to tinker with every statute made by
preceding Legislatures, and encum-
ber the statute books with ponderous
measures aimed at all known abuses
and falling short of all. We have
had too much of this sort of thing in
North Carolina.
There is no dearth of interesting
problems in North Carolina which re
proper subjects of attention by her Law
making body. Suppose for instance
that body (taking for granted that i
was intelligent and honest)should Civ,
the same amount of attention to edu
cational matters as is its custom t.
give to petty private measures at ev
cry session. North Carolina could no
long remain under the disgrace of be
ing the most illiterate State Of tn
Union. For surely there are in ou
good old commonwealth heads lon
enough to grapple successfully with tn
monster of Ignorance and darkness. Ur
doubtly we have wise men and grea
, men among us, but the record of tn
! few years past shows that these me
nowadays seldom rise to the dignit
of State Legislators.

REM STRANGE.
A Mans Face Appears on IL Window Fan

From the Lauri,,6urq Exchange.

From the Ldu'tnourg Erchdn9e.
Mr.. j. F. Hamilton informs us OF
recent remarkably strange occurrence
at his fathers house in Randolph
connty. The house is at least fifty
wears old and we are informed that
the glass was put in the windows
when the house was built.
On the 10th of last February Mr..
Halilton happened to look at pane
of glass in one of the windows, when,
to his great surprise, he saw the image
of his son J. F., so clearly impressed
thereon as to Immediately and easily
be recognized.
1t remained, and though visited and
seen by many, no attention was paid
to it till after date of the great cyclone
when it still could be seen, forbod
ing of evil to his son j. F. He there
fore wrote his son Immediately, tt
which his son replied. He has writ
ten again stating that the impression
on the glass is still there but has 81
faded as to resemble himself.
This is no simple, sensational story
at al, but its truthfulness is vouch
ed for by Mr.. j. f. Hamilton, our Ill
formant, and reliable man.
