MIR. Lowell asked that the ordinance

practice if time was given to present it..
Mr.. Book said that theories were very
we'll, but the people wanted practice now.
They had become tired Of theories.
Messrs. Bosbyshell, Gibbs and Sinsa-
baugh agreed that the time had come to
work and not to refer to committees, but
DR.. Sinsabaugh weakened and moved to

These are all Southern States
Kentucky is left out for want of salts
isfactory statistics at command.
Of these States North Carolina ex-
pends less money for schools PER CAP.
TIA on her whole population than
any others except South Carolina and
Georgia, and only about one half as
much as Virginia or Arkansas.
The column of expenditures per
capita of total population" affords a
very fair comparative view of what
we are doing in public school matters
and in the comparison we are put in
no favorable light.
When We consider carefully the
column of "total assessed value OF
property" and calculate the rate
of taxation necessary to raise the to-
tai amounts expended in the differ
ent States we find our rate would be
less than that of any of tie States
named except South Carolina and
Georgia.
If all the expenditures were raised
from TAX ON PROPERTY the rate
would be 80 cents ON 800 in Mary
land 33 cents in North Carolina
As cents in Tennessee 43 cents in
Virginia 21 cents in Georgia Al
cents in Alabama; so cents in Missis
sippi; 66 cents in Arkansas; 65 cents
in West Virginia A cents in Flori-
da, and SO cents in Missouri.
If it be said that some of these
States have permanent State funds
the interest of which goes to the sup.
port of the schools, it will be found
upon examination that this is really 8
very small item comparatively, and
that ANNUAL TAXATION in all these
States, as well as in all the Northern
States, is mainly relied upon to sup
port the schools.
| have not selected year that
would make the worst showing for
our State. Looking ] ack for about
four years 1 find that much the same
proportions existed and that the year
have selected shows us in as favora-
BILE light as any other.
According to the assessed valuation
of our property we are far from doing
as much for public education as most
of our sister Southern States. This il
apparent not only from the proper
tionally smaller amount of money ex.
pended, but by the short annual
school terms, Virginia having lis
days, Alabama SO days, Mississippi 7s
| days, Tennessee 80 days, Arkansas
102 days, while we have only so days
These figures seem to show not on
ly that we are far behind, but also
that we are able to do better.
The total expenditure in the States
above named was SIT 1888, ,185. In al
the States of the Union the expendi
ture was $1f1 ,304, ,927.

trade with foreign countries is equal
~ indispensable to national prosper
lty. How can it be otherwise unless
the principle is false to itself? How
can it be true that tits absolutely nec-
essary to my individual welfare that
| shall sell my surplus products to my
neighbor freely and without restraint,
and after my neighbor is supplied and
wants no more, it is not necessary for
my welfare or that of the public that
l should sell the remainder to a man
across the river who does want it and
offers me a good price? Common
sense and common justice alike declare
that | should have the utmost liberty
to sell to both, subject only to such
charges on the transaction as the
government may lawfully impose, for
its necessities, and not those of any
one man or set of men upon the earth.

PRICE D CENTS.

North Dakota remains Territory.
The House will render a different
verdict when the bill gets to that
body. The Senate is legislating with
an eye single to the National election
next fall. The State of South Dakota
would go Republican, but that State
will not belong to the Sisterhood of
States in such shape as to give her
electoral vote to the G. o. p, if
Democratic House can prevent it.
The death of Mr.. Conkling greatly
increases Blaine's chances for the
Presidential nomination, so the politi-
cal quiet 'tunces say.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland ar
rived at the White House to-day.
She will make the President and Mrs.
Cleveland visit. Miss Cleveland is
not pretty. She has large, coarse
features, and her manners are decid-
edly stiff. Her first reception at the
White House was what the bad boys
heIe would call "a circus" The cal
Ter had to file in between a double
row of policemen, and some of them,
who had been accustomed to Eresi-
Dental receptions since the days of
the courtly Buchanan, could scarcely
keep their faces straight while they
were going through the ordeal. The
Presidents marriage to handsome,
graceful woman who has plenty of
the sauoir fai;re, was one fthe luckiest
strokes of his Administration. Miss
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland may be
clever enough in her way, but she
clearly was not the person to preside
at the White House.
The gossips here-and their name
is legion say that Mrs. Folsom, the
Presidents mother-in-la has gone
to Europe to select her bridal trous-
seau ! According to these same gos-
sips, Secretary Bayard is the pros
pective bridegroom ! Well, the re-
port is false, but here is piece of gos-
sip l know to be true. / have it di-
rect. Before Cleveland ever thought
of marrying pretty Frances Folsom,
he courted her mother, and was refus-
ed This is fact. Mrs. Folsom is
pretty and young looking yet. Cleve-
land is evidently judge of female
beauty. His wife is splendid speci-
men of woman. and rules the White
House with admirable tact. She is
| clever, well-read and is close stu
dent.
1t is claimed that the tariff bill on
| ly needs one more convert to the free
wool clause, to give it the required
majority. 1t is said that 162 votes
can now be confidently relied on.
The River and Harbor appropria-
tion bill will soon come up before
Congress. In the Senate, Gen. Ran
som will be sure to look after the in
terests of your noble Yadkin. Money
properly expended on this river will
be of very great benefit to the section
through which it flows. | may have
something important to say of this in
my next letter. GRANVILLE.

4 AGOOD OLD YARN.
How a Joke Saved Zeb Vance Duck
Ing While "a Student at Chapel Hill.

Ing Wh1ic Student at Cnepel Hill.
Before the war it was q custom at
the University of North Carolina for
the advanced classes to put the new
comers through course Of sprouts.
Various ways of hazing Freshmen
were devised. But the iavorite meth
cd was to tie the hands and feet with
cords and by means Of rope low
er the victim into a deep well and
up to his chin in the cold water. 1t
was an ordeal that would have made
the Sons Of Malta turn pale. About
| the end of the forties Zeb Vance, now
| the Senator, entered the University
and one night he found himself, with
| other members OF his class, waiting
his turn for a ducking. The victims
were arranged in a line, and upper
classmen were all on hand to see how
the efreshies" took the initiation. At
length Zeb's turn came. He had
seen those before him, one after the
other, pinioned and lowered. Ho
had noted the pale faces as they went
| down and chattering teeth as they
came up. He didn't like it. He
had been fastened The rope was
under his arms. A happy inspira-
ton came.
"Hold on boys" said Zeb: '.let me
tell you Buncombe joke"
Buncombe was Zeb's home coun-
ty.
$50 ahead with your story" said
the master OF the ceremonies. Zeb
told it in his best style, and everybody
laughed.
'Take the next one," said the lead
er of the hazers, "and let Zeb wait a
while" There was another ducking,
and the leader called out
"Give us another Buncombe sto-
ry."
"I'll do it, said Zeb, and he cracked
another joke.
This was repeated until Zeb Vance,
alone of the freshmen, had not been
ducked. A vote was taken and de-
clared carried that Zeb Vance should
, be credited with having afforded his
share of the evenings amusement, and
should not be ducked. But at this
the fellow-freshmen rebelled "Zeb
must go through what we have if we
have to put him down ourselves" !"
they said and made rush for the
Buncombe boy, who still stood pin
ioned. But the leader of the hazing
party, strapping big fellow, drew
pistol and shouted "The first of
you who tries to put Vance in that
we'll will be shot," At the same mo.
. ment he cut the cords and told Zeb to
"scoot,' and Zebss "scooted"

THE BRETHREN's UNITY.

In connection with the settlement
of Salem we have given some Mora
Wan history as the church had con-
troll of the land matters here for a
hundred years after the purchase of
the Wachovia tract.
The first settlers of Salem arrived
in January and February, 1766.
They were George Holder, Jacob
Steiner, Michael Zeigler, Melchoir
Rasp, of Pennsylvania, and Gottfried
Pr@zel, Niels Peterson, Jens Smith
and John Birkhead, from Europe
These were reinforced by additional
emigrants from Pennsylvania in the
coming fall, accompanied by Rev.
Richard Utley, who became the min
lister of the parish. A two story
church building was erected in 1766
which served a half dozen years as a
house of worship when a more sub
stantial church took it's place. In
1772 a bell, weighing 2,75S pounds
was brought overland from Pennsyl-
vania, and which served as a town
clock by tolling the hours. A two
stop organ was also Made that year
and took the place of the trombones
which had been brought from Europe
with the first settlement of the place.
The 1772 structure served as a
meeting house. until the present
remarkable edifice was completed IN
1900. A large pipe organ was built
in the new church in 1879, which is
still in acceptable use there. The
church structure is an imposing brick
edifice which would probably cost
SIC, 900 to duplicate at the present
time. 1t was erected by the individ-
ual labors of the brethren and q
large donation from Brother Fred
erick Marshall, the leader in the Mo-
ravian settlement, but no record was
kept of the total expense The super
structure is surmounted by a town

The real cause of our prosperity is
not far to seek. 1t is found in the
surface and soil of our vast and fer
tile country, and the free institutions
which govern it. These afford great
er scope to the genius and industry of
our people than any other land upon
earth. The heavy restric-
tions of protection have been down
dragging weight upon their energies
from the moment of their applica-
ton.

The Chinese Primrose.

If you wish for an abundance OF
winter flowers, do not fail to sow one or
two packets of Primrose seed this
spring, thereby laying foundation for
many pleasant hours during 1.-The long
and dreary winter" when you can
count your blossoms by the hundred,
instead of hunting diligently all over
your window in the forlorn hope of dis
covering an adventurous flower some
where, and finding nothing but
leaves"
Unless one purchases a packet of
each variety of seed it is well to confine
experiments to mixed seeds alone, for
they are, as rule. very satisfactory,
producing so many and such diverse
varieties, each of which has charm
pertaining only to itself, some peculiar
ity of color or marking, or, perhaps
difference of form or tint in the foliage,
enhancing its beauty and effectually
preventing monotony, which may exist
even in the floral kingdom. The seed,
if sown in March or April, the young
plants pricked ont into small pots SIS
soon as they have put forth fewleaves
and transferred again after an interval
of few weeks into jars OF larger size,
should make strong specimens in
autumn, and be ready for the winters
