port. Wheeling.
MFR. Carnegie, though born in Scot
land and firm lover Of the 'Old
home is a thorough republican in sym
pathy and in practice, and radical of the
radicals in his advocacy Of government
of the people, by the people and for the
people. For royalty and its surroundings
he has Lothing but contempt, and his COM
parisonS of mOnarchial forms and OhServ-
ances with republican simplicity and his
scathing comments will read with interest
not only here but in England. The work
will open the eyes of the masses to the
wonderful advancement-phySical, moral,
pOlitical and intellectual-Of the United
States during the last half century. Its
author claims it is pure missionary work
on his part and that his sole desire in its
preparation has been to show his country
men-and TO prove by solid facts and fig
ures-the superiority Of republican over
mOnarchial institutions. This is the true
inwa-dnesS of his book and Of its title

But my dear reader, don't be de-
celved IN looking so constantly at the
bright side of this picture for in every
life there are some dark DAYS, and to
this the medical man is not, by any
means, an exception.
If it is your aim to enter upon the
study Of medicine simply for its ma.
terial income, and with the expecta-
ton of floating upon the tide created
by others; then stop and consider the
words already referred to" Ask"
seek " and knock" These words
are sufficient to suggest the energy
and unceasing toll necessary to sue
cess in this field of operation.
If you intend to enter upon this
branch of study, then let your aims
be higher than mere selfish ambition
and greedy gain, and yet the young
practitioner should aim high and be
satisfied with nothing less than real
success.
To the young colored man, there is
no better opening in all this broad
land and therefore he who is desirous
of doing much good for his race and
country would do we'll to start at
once. Your relation to your race and
your position in the church are no
obstacles to your entering this field.
Whether you be preacher, deacon
or teacher matters not; only one
thing is necessary; be the man for
the place Look upon the field and
behold the golden harvest p.ittl44 VIII y 4AA774tss- 4AA77t "a

WINTON INTELLIGENCE.

After a year or more of earnest toll,
the friends Of education here, assisted
by generous friends elsewhere, have
succeeded in preparing and erecting
buildings for Winton Academy. Two
good, substantial houses have been
completed and are now ready for use.
The recitation hall is a two-story
building, containing the assembly
room and three well-arranged class
rooms. 1t is now a handsome build
ing, but will be made more so when
the painter, who is now at work, will
get through with it. The building
for young ladies is undoubtedly one
Of the best in this place. 1t is nicely
furnished, and ceiled and plastered.
1t contains the study room for girls
and the dining hall. This house will
comfortably lodge thirty-six girls.
The Choa0am Pj5ot,a paper published
here in the interest Of the school, is
rapidly making friends, and from the
rapid increase of its subscription list,
We may justly prophesy for it a bril-
liant future.
School opens at Winton Academy
October 4. Many applications have
been received, and the indications are
that the school will be quite large,
considering its age.
DR.. NJ T. Pope, a recent graduate
of the Leonard Medical School, opened
Office here nearly two months ago,
and is meeting with success. He has
already established a name and rec
ord, not only of faithful, industrious
habits, but of moral purity, intellec-
tual proficiency and skilfulness in the
healing art, and has thereby won the
esteem and affections of the people.
His practice has been very large.
R. A. Reynolds, member of the
Leonard Medical School, is teaching
near Winton He is preparing to re-
enter school in November.
Misses Sea Bird Williamson, Alice
Turner and Lydia Walden are teach
ing school. Misses Turner and Will
hanson will return to Estey, but Miss
Walden is about to be persuaded to
remain at home.

AHE INDUCEMENTS OF THE MEDICAL
FIELD.

AHE INDUCEMENTS OF THE MEDICAL
FIELD.
1t is, perhaps, not saying too much
to state in general way, that the
men of education, skill, character and
perseverance, are not justly numbered
with those who so often fail to do well
IN the various professions and indus
tries; but they rather belong to that
peculiar class of men who most al
y Ays succeed in whatever they under
lake.
/ The young man Of today, who
1ters the field of medicine with sufi
IT education and for a true pur-
" g, feeling the responsibility Of his
] position and at the Same, fIr1e
k,ossessinc the necessary skill and
orgy, need expect nothing in the
knd but a successful victory over
,ery delusion of failure; for Christ
Sd "ask and it shall be given you,
SEX and ye shall find, knock and it
A2ll be opened unto you"
ANow, what is true in this passage
he spiritual blessing, may also be
tt y in certain way, of the material
r3zard.
Now then, it can easily be seen that
the importance and inducements of
the medical field, present a decided
contrast when placed over against
those of any other profession or trade.
La medicine, you are called upon to
deal almost wholly with the moral
and vital parts of man. Medicine is
a science in which man is controlled
by principle and not by policy; by
love and sympathy rather than money,
at the same time he is free from all
the political contaminations and
abuses of the present day. AS was
we'll demonstrated at the meeting of
the State Board of Medical Exami-
ners at Newberne, n. c., in May 1886
Medicine knows no man by name,
fortune, race, color or condition, but
by merit alone.
Where is there a field in which the
man of competency can operate more
freely and conscientously? In what
profession or trade does he least often
have to bow and worship before Baal
the whims Of popular opinion, with
out regard to right and wrong ?
When can he be the greatest benefac-
tor of suffering humanity?
When can he best understand the
customs and various deeds of moral
wrong and vice among the masses and
therefore teach the most etfectual les
sons of moral right, truth and charity
Where can he realize most fully the
guidance of Providence and most ef-
fectually appreciate the handiwork
of God in creation and His Wisdom
in the preservation of life in both man
and beast?
These questions are only few sug
gestions which indicate the very high
and worthy inducements in the study
of medicine.
The material income to him who
successfully practices the healing art
is we'll known to most people, anC
therefore we need only to mention it
This field insures a good living with
much to do in elevating man to tha

while in school they were made to
take such exercise as would make
them robust We find them filling
some of the highest offices within the
gift of our native people.
Prof. E. E. Smith has been re-
appointed principal Of the State Nor
NAL School at Fayetteville. 1t will
be remembered that Messrs. Harris
and ChestnuC, who preceded Prof.
Smith, were among the best educators
in the State, and yet our friend and
brother has shown himself by all
means competent to succeed them.
Rev. Jas. NJ. Young, who has
been assisting Rev. A. Sheppard in
his work at Henderson, has recently
accepted a call to a church in Vir-
ginia and we understand that he is
giving entire satisfaction.
Mr.. H. P. Cheatham is at present
Register of Deeds for Vance county,
and is so endeared to his constituents
that there can be no doubt as to bis
reelection.
Mr.. II. H. Faulkner, we learn,
was unanimously nominated by the
Warren county Convention for the
office of Probate Judge of that county.
We are gratifed to hear further that
his chances for success are good. Mr.
Faulkner is very excellent young
man, and if elected will do his work
faithfully and well.
Rev. Jno. O. Crosby has begun
the publication of " The Gold Dust" a
spicy and we'll edited weekly. We
wish him success in his enterpriseI
and hope that he will succeed in e=-i
tablishing it on a sure foundation, ;

probably one, Of the most urgent needs
of our denomination is a we'll edited
newspaper.
Prof. D. A. Lane is making a
complete success in the school room.
He has managed the school in Oberlin
o-spccessfully Chat it may we'll be
termed a Graded School.
We understand that Prof. H. @.
Crosby, who has for several years been
principal of the Garfield Graded

The many friends of Rev. Geo.
H. Buffalo, who graduated from this
institution last May, were panied to
learn that God had taken him from
the stage of action. He was a chris
tian gentleman and a promising young
man. He possessed rare qualities,
and marked talent. The best Latin
salutatory that we have ever heard
pronounced from the rostrum in the
University was made by him. He
had made himself a name as a crayon
artist Just before his death. We min
gle our sympathy with that of his be
reaved relatives and friends, and bow
submissive to the decree Of Heaven.
