Behold old North Care lima stands,
Colossal mountains pierce her sky,
Delightful valleys among them lie;
EntOmbed beneath her serface deep,
Full mines of precious metals sleep.
Grand, grand, magnifcently grand,
Her noble hills majestic stand:
In rich luxuriance covered Yer,
Just ike the tabled field sT ore,
Ken the delightful scenery round,
Landscapes more grand nowhere are
found.
Ma jestic groves of forest tree,
Nod gently to the passing breeze;
Orchards and fields i'll rich array,
Plenteous fruit and grain display;
Queiling every want and need,
Rendering man happy indeed.
So let all with heart and hand,
Try to improve our gOodly land,
Until each hill and vale shall be,
Vocal with life and industry;
We can then boast State, vow,
x (1O) times as great as she is now,
Youth, noble youth, with hearts elate,
Jealous be for the good old North State.

No guarantee is needed by those who

all the powers of the mind into vigorous
exercise and teaching the pupil to reason
and think for himself-at laying solid,
substantial for higher education, and
fitting it's students for the practical
duties of life. Only a limited number
will be admitted this term so that every
pupil may be under the immediate care
of the Principal.

THE HOW.
Wilmington Star.l

Long ago the Star said the campaign
was to be one OF Doodle and Intimida-
ton, and so it was. There was never
before so much money spent in any
campaign. Probably the Republicans
scattered ten or fifteen million dollars.
Why not? They had it, and they were
not troubled in the least with any con-
scientious scruples as to it's use Mo
nopoly went deliberately to work to
buy every purchasable voter within
it's reach. The Money Kings saw that
their gains from the great Bounty
taken from the people by robbery were
in greatest danger, and they saw at
once that they must BUY AND INTIMI-
DATE or the PEOPLE would gain the
ascendency. So Quay called and No
nopoly answered. Foster fried and
the fat hoated in perennial streams of
lubricating grease, and the Machine
worked easily and Harrison and Nor
representative men of the
Money Devil-were chosen. That is
the HOW.

A GRAND OLD PARTY.
New York Star.1

The experience IF defeat is often as
instructive, if nat as useful, as the
achievement Of ictory. The substan-
tial loss to the Democracy and to the
country through the failure TO elect
Cleveland and Thurman is not to be
ignored; but it is only one batJIe that
has been lost, not the whole war
between the two great American parties
There were some who predicted that
the election of the Republican nominees
of 1888 would mean the disorganization
of the Democracy. Those prophets of
evil were wrong. The ranks have been
closed up before the smoke of the con-
filct has cleared away, and from ali
parts of the country and all elements
Of the party there come declarations of
determination to go on with the fight
in which we have been so nearly vicjo-
rious, without even hating for min
ute to count our casualties.
The revenue reform merchants of
New York speak with the same voice
as the conservative Democratic organ
of Georgia, and, with but few rela-
lively unimportant exceptions, all the
Democrats of the land echo the ring
ing announcement of Gov. Hill that
the fight of 1888 must 60 on until
triumph is secured in 1892.
On no previous occasion of national
repulse has either the Republican or
Democratic party exhibited spirit SO
united, buoyant and loyal. No Dem
ocrat is cast down, but every one is
determined that from now until the
next presidential election there shall
be one unremitting effort to place Dem
ocratic priciples again in the ascendency
and to put in Office the men who are
their foremost exponents.

ONLY ONE SUGGESTION.
Roanoke News.l


We have only one suggestion to
make to our next Legislature, and we
make it not with the hope that it will
be acted on but for the purpose of
calling attention to what We believe
would be desirable change. 1t is
that Judges of the Superior Court
bench be made ineligible for any
other Office while they are on the
bench and for two years after their
terms Of Office expire The judiciary
cannot be too carefully guarded and
to put a man into place where it is
possible he may make friends for
future preterment is putting tempta-
ton in the way and subjecting human
nature to strain which is unhealthy.
If way can be found by which the
Judges can be made Ineligible to
other Office, we hope it will be done
Such provision would at least put
them above suspicion.

HOW IS THIS SHOWING?

The Washington celebration Of the
election of Harrison was miserable af
fair, and it is reported that respectable
Republicans were mortified. The feel
ing against the South and her leaders
was very marked. The transparences
which excited the heartiest enthusiasm
We're those bearing the inscriptions,
"No more rebels on the U. S. Supreme
Court" ''No more flags at half mast
for dead rebels" " ''No more rebel flags" !"
and others of like character, and yet
there are native white Southern Repub-
licans who condone, by their connection
with this sectional party, these insults
to the South, and the "Lost Cause"
Where is their blemish?- -Virginian.
The above quoted inscriptions show
the animus of the whining, puritanical,
amphibian element that largely COM
pose the population of icentious Wash
ington city. Their hearts have ever
been as "cage Of unclean birds"
although but yesterday, as it were,
they were want to express some appre-
citation of their masters in office. We
have no doubt but that the hand which
wrote the inscriptions is as unprincipled.
unpatriotic and as unworthy as the
sentiment is mean, vulgar and, in every
way, wicked. All! what miserable
political automatons do they become
after feeding upon government pap,
for while, in Washington. They
either become utterly without any
settled political convictions or, they
loose the little manliness necessary to
enable them to express an independant
thought. The veriest WHINING CUR
WILL WAC HIS TAIL to his master and
the rule seems invariable even at the
Nations Capital.

GRUBB1Na OUT TREEs.-Wherever
time is an object in clearing land
no stumps should be allowed. A
stump is unmanageable, and if green,
is quite as apt as not, if cut in win
ter, to send up suckers, which will
keep the roots alive and prolong the
nuisance indefinitely. But a tree
may be dug around with compare
lively little labor, and its top used
as lever to turn its roots up out of
the ground. As the tree bends, the
roots that adhere in the soil may be
cut with an old axe, that need not be
very sharp for that purpose When
it lies on the ground hitch a team to
its top branches, and twist the body
around so as to loosen more roots.
In this way tree of moderate size
may be cheaply grubbed out When
the hole made by excavating the
root is filled, the wholemay be pillow
ed and seeded.
