FREE SCHOLARSHIP,

The Star has no purpose to injure
Chapel Hill. 1t aims to make it an
University in something more than
name. and to cut off the free scholar
ship feature mat will be its ruin if
continued. We refer to the matter
again merely to mention what we
have recently learned Of two coun-
ties. In one county the two students
representing it fur four years at the
University as free scholars are the
sons of well>to-do farmers, either Of
whom is worth $4,000, and one Of
them more. In another county the
young man sent to Chape! Hill as
free scholar is the son of the richest
farmer in the county. His plaatation
is considered as the finest in the
county. This information comes to
us from Christian minister who is
familiar with the cousties, referred to-.
The county business will have to be
written up by some one. The STAR
cannot. do it but probably it will be
done. Star.
We hope the Stars informant is
mistaken, because such gross abuse
OF the law and its object, would be
criminal in the superlative degree.
But if true it ought to convince all
men everywhere of the gross injustice
of the law, and compel it's repeal on
the assembling of the next Legisla>
ture.
Come Mr.. Battle, tell us if the Sta.
is in error. If not, the neatest and
most genteel thing you can do, and
the biggest strike you can make for
the University, will be to come out
in an open letter and ask the next
Legislature to repeal the free school
feature. You may by so doing save
the University.
We tell you now plainly and can
dldly we do not believe tie Demo-
Gratis of the state will support either
the University or a party that will
knowingly tolerate such injustice and
outrages. You now have a golden
opportunity TO do handsome thing
for your College, and a grand thing
for the Democratic party. WIZ you
not do it?
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1885-08-13

Suppose :rick mason said -
"Base a acaU upon solid rock, base it's
permdnency upon something else. :"
What would you think he meant?-
Er.
We would think that he meant ex-
.actly what he said. Compare it to
a party, and then if you want it to be
permanent construct it Alright and
use good policy in carrying out those
principles upon which it is based.
The mason would mean this: how
ever firm and solid may be the rock
upon which the wall is built, still
if you do not have good bricks and
if they are not placed by good MAJ
son, the wall will not be permanent.
Have a solid foundation, use good
policy in finishing the wall or else it
will not be permanent. First it is
necessary for the wall TO have for it's
permanency solid foundation. just
as it is necessary for party to have
for its. permanency solid principles.
But the solid foundation alone in the
one and the solid principles alone in
the other will not insure their
permanency. But the wall must have
in addition to its Foundation rock
good masonry and good bricks
or else the first stormy rain that
comes it will pass away. And a
party mast have in addition to its
principles upon which it is founded
if it would be permanent good policy
While policy is not thei first essen
tial to its permanency. it is a great
second essential, a necessity which
cannot be ignored, -

AUSTRIA.

Mr.. Kelley has been rejected as
our ambassador by the Austrian
government, because he married a
Jewess, and wrote some, structures
on the government and its policy
wears AGO. Well if Austria can do
without us we can without Austria.
Mr.. Cleveland we hope will decline
to make any other appointment and
notify the Austrian Minister in
Washington, that his services as
Minister will no longer be recognised
by our government.
This seems to us the only course
left to our folks. If we had appoint
ed Jew to represent us in the Aus
trian Court, it would have been none
of her business, provided he had be-
haved himself and represented our
government as instructed by Mr..
Bayard. "A Jew who is citizen of
the United States is entitled to all
the immunities of any citizen and
is as much entitled to an embassa
dorship. If Foreign powers are to
dictate who are to be our Ministers
abroad OF, who shall not be, then the
sooner we sever all relations with
such powers, the better.

nobler or holier cause l.. .,
years ago North Carolina issn-
her proclamation to her sons and
daughters, telling them their homes,
property, lives and honor were seri-
ously and dangerously threatened
by a powerful, relentless, heartless
foe, calling upon her sons to fly to
arms, and her daughters to urge
them forward.
Nobly and CALAMITY did her boys
bare their bosoms to the steel, iron
and lead Of the foe, encouraged by
mother, sister and wife. Romans
never fought more grandly, Spar
tans never died more willingly.
The world has never witnessed, and
never will again, such heroism,
such patriotism, such a sacrificial
offering for principle, country and
honor.
Save and except the Waldenses,
no people ever contended so long,
so desperately, so grandly against
such odds; and when finally forced
to succumb to physical force and
superior numbers, no people ever
preserved their honor, and held it
more sacred than did North Caro-
linians.
The wounded, disabled soldier,
now tottering upon the margin Of
the grave, who left home, wife, Sis
ter, mother, all that made life happy
and sweet, twenty-five years ago at
the command of the State, is the
man Col. Beasley is devoting his
time and life to aid. Noble cause,
noble man! May heaven bless your
efforts.
Where is the man or woman in
all this broad land of ours who
will decline to throw in his or her
mite to help Oh the noble work Col.
Beasley has undertaken
1t is not case to write about.
Before this North Carolina ought to
have done something for her help
less, poverty stricken defenders.
Now, we make this proposition to
every man, woman and child in the
State outside of Halifax county.
For every dollar and fifty cents sent
us for the DEMOCRAT for one year,
we will deposit with the Treasurer
Of the State at Raleigh fifty cents
to aid in building a soldiers home.
And for every club Of thirty sent us
with forty-tive dollars we will de
post twenty-five dollars and fifty
cents, and as we are not very well
known. in the State, we will give the
Governor and Senator Vance and
Halifax county as surety that the
money will be forwarded twenty
four hours after its receipt.
