DonG leave.

There seems 10 be prevailing
opinion. among the young men OF
this country that they can 60 some
where else and ID AXE more money
and live easier than they can in
North Carolina. We are sorry this
untrue opInion prevails. There is
nowhere on earth more favored
country than thi', and there is no
place on esrth where young men can
90 and do better than they can here.
We were in company with ayourg
man some time sgo who had travelled
extensively throughout the United
States, and who had spent several
months in Texas. We sskel him il
be thought young nan could build
himself up and make q better living
in Texas THAI be could In North Car.
olinaf And his answer was that in
all his travels he had found nu place
that offered bett:r advantages than
"the good Old North State There
is plenty room IN North Carolina for
our young men and they should stay
In North Carolina and help develop
her great resources. If we will rO-
tlce those who have left North Caro-
lima and gone 10 another country We
will find , in most instances, that
they are doing no better than those
of their companions who remained
here. Our people do not appreciate
the land that gave them birth as they
should. Any young man, who has
pluck and vim about him, can do
well in this country. 4 man who
is not willing to work for living
cannot make a success anywhere,
especially in new country North
Carolina offers every inducement 10
her noble sons that any country OF
our knowledge does. You may 60
anywhere and you will hear the same
cry Of hard times" All that is
needed to make a success in this
country is perseverance and econo>
my, and without these we cannot
hope to succeed. Where there are sd.
vantages in these newly settled
countries there are many disadvant
ages. There fore we think 1t the
duty of all the sons of North Caro-
lima to stay IN their mother State and
induce all other good people to move
to North Carolina. The educationa
advantages OF North Carolina car
scarcely be excelled anywhere. He'
mineral resources are abundant, hel
water power is ample, and as ar
agricultural country she cannot be
excelled. Her people are the kind
est on earth, 'and there are more
pretty women" says a traveller, "ir
North Carolina than any place
have ever been" With all these all
vantages and inducements why
should our young men want to lesvei
We see no good reason why they
should. Instead of there being toe
many people here there are no
enough for we need more people
here-men Of means who can be {
benefit to the State. Young men
consult your best interests, your hap
piness and the happiness OF you

THE PROFITS OF COTTON MANU-
PACTU RING.

-.
the following statement showing
the profits Of cotton manufacturing
in New England.
The Herald says: wv hils II esti-
mates that the South has Infinite
advantages, as the site Of cotton
Mills. which would pay a third IL
not twice as much there IN the
South as here. still our mills are
making from eiget TO twenty I've

past year the Wampanoag mills
have earned $4,000 on $50, 900

whole, is probably the most profit

in addition to surplus"
The herald caudidly admits that
the South has "intiaite advantage"
over the North. These advantages
are patent to every well Informed
man, and have been fully iIlustra
ted in the success of our mills.
The point we desire to make is that
our people should put their money
in this business We should
diversity our pursuits. Very few OF
our farmers have any thing inves-
ted except in their farm. If they
make a few thou sAnd dollars they
put il in more land. They carry
all their eggs In one basket. If
there is a bad season and failure
in crops, they have no other re-
source upon which to fall back.
The same IS largely true Of our
merchants. There are other men
who have considerable money and
invest In no business enterprise,
but lend it out on real estate. 1t
would be much better il our people
would invest part of their capital
IN some manufacturing enterprise
and there ia none better or more
profitable than cotton manufacutur-
ing. There is scarcely a commnn-
! ity, IN which there Is not enough

THURSDAY 7TH.
SENATE: Mr.. Means introduced
bill to amend the Constitution in
relation to the homestead exemption.
It provides for new section to be
sc follows:
Sec. 9. The right Of exemption
hereinbetore secured may be waived
10 writing. The waiver may be

This bill was introduced to occupy
the miudle ground between the eR>
tire abolition of the Homestead and

The terms of Office of the present Board
of Health will expire the first of May, and
upon Mayor Harrington will devolve the
duty OF appointing an entirely new board
except DR.. Willard Springer, who holds
his position as a member OF the board by
virtue OF being port physician. The
board now consists of DR.. j. A. Draper,
DIR. H. 0. Ogle, plumber E, F. KaLe, and
practical business man, Jamee NJ. Griffin,
who is druggist at Fourth and Madison
streets. The law requires that one of The
five members shall be plumber and one
q practical business man. The present
board has been an efficient one, lacking
only in compelling a better service for the
removal of garbage, which OF late they
have tried to remedy, but which this nor
any other board will ever remedy until
garbage contractors are compelled to per
form their contracts and pad what 1t II
worth. Politically, the present member
OF the board are all Democrats, which o
course did not prevent them from doinl
their duty, but as there are plenty OF Re
publicans who would make just as goot
and efficient members, Mayor Harrington
| will no doubt see to it that the board
made more non partisan by the appoint
ment of at least a minority of Republi
cans. but whatever change are made,
would be entirely in the interests OF a
efficient service to retain DIR. Draper a
president OF the board. The salary of tn
members is 500 each, but the salary c
the two executive officers to be appointe
by the board Is $500 each.

Among the: many improvements that
are being made on Market street, is the
putting in OF new front in
j. p. Almond g. Company's grocery
store at the southwest corner OF Eighth
and Market streets. The whole front
except room for stairway will be made
into glass show windows. The sta irway
makes an entrance to the front upper
rooms without, as formerly, having to 20
around half way OF the square between
Market and ship!ey to enter at the side.
The Eighth street entrance will still be
retained. A bay window has been put in
on the Eighth street side.
Another improvement showing how
fast Market street is being given up Il
stores is the changing of the first story
| front of the McCorkle building on Mar
ket street above Ninth into storeroom
which is now going on. The McCorklt
family will shortly remove TO their beauti
full new mansion at Pennsylvania ayeuu

While the Legislature ia acting on
election bills relating to this city, 1t
would be well TO Introduce some mea.
sure providing for redistficiing. The
present system is the most unfair that
could be devised, and was planned by
the Democrats TO ensure their control
in Council. There should be some ..
thing like fair apportlonment made,
and a division of snch large wards as
the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth,
so that there would be representation
according to population. OF course it
Is not to be expected that the Demo.
Gratis would favor such a measure. but
it might be well for the Republicans
TO pul them on record, the same as
they have on the Constitutional Cou :
vention and other important measures.
AT present the Northern district, con
tanning 81, 600 inhabitants, has not as
many menhers in Council as the
Southern district with $4,000 inhabi.

What Is understood a. the Donshoe
Biennial Election bill for the city Of VII
mingtop, which has already passed the
Senate and has bsen referred to commit
toe In the House, docs not inteIkre with
the election 10 be held this coming June,
and one councilman from each ward and
the two ci, y assessors and collectors will
be elected Us usual, but no city election is
TO be held In June, 1880. Afler that date
there will be only one member OF CouL ell
from each ward and the president, thir-
teen IN al. dhe coansilm,a elected this
coming June Will hold over until July,
1891, and those holding oyer this year
will cease TO be eoarc,imen by July, 1880.
BY this bill there viii be no len >th IL
ing Of the terns Of any city Official except
the City Treasurer, who will be given an
additional year 10 make his election
come on In June, 1891, when ali olher
city officers are 10 tie eiected.
The other provisi us OF the bill are
that, instead OF twelve, eeyen members
shall BE- quorum, the City uditcr and
City Solicitor shall be elected By the
people, and City Councilman is not to
receive more than $50 per month.
The summing up OF the whole thing is
exactly this: On the first Saturday In
June, 1891, an election is to be held for
all city officials made electable, including
Mayor, President OF City Council, City
Treasurer, City Auditor, City Solicitor,
two City Assessors and Tax Collectors,
ard one member of City Council from
each ward, and the same officers are to
be elected every two years thereafter.
There are objections to the bill bat only
HIS IL relates TO he election OF City Coun-
cilmen. The representation Is not equit-
able. That part OF the city above sixth
stree. has about 81, 600 Of the population
OF the city, ard is divided into only i've
wards anu Will have but five members OF
Council. That part OF the city south of
S'xih street has but about 25,O00 pUpula-
ton, is divided into seven wards and will
have seven City Counclimen. This Is not
Just. II the bill is TO become law let
the district north Of Sixth street first be
divided into nine wards, each with q
Councilman, so that representation will
be sOmeihiug like equal. The Legislature
should not pass the bill until this change
at least is mace.

Some ten days ago, Mrs. John Wier,
No. 1909 Market street received a present
from Belfast, ireland, of an Irish rooster
and ben OF very superior breed. The
rooster weieh d Ii pounds and the hen
was little lighter. They were named
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone, and 1t was Mrs.
Wler's intention to take them down to
their King street store, between Eighth
and Ninth stroets that the people might
see these beautiful specimens OF the fowl
genus. On Saturday morning last she
set about carrying ont her purpose, and
had carried Mr.. sandstone from csop at
the stable to a larger and more airy coop
at the house, in which they were taken
to the King street store. Having go, Mr..
Gladstone fixed all right In his big coop,
she went back to the stable to bring out
Mrs. Gladstone, that she might keep COM
pany with her noble partner, but alasi no
Mira. Gladstone could be seen some
heartless wretch had stolen the lady
while Mrs. Wier was putting His Lord
ebip Mr. Gladstone in his coop. To say
that MIS-. Wier is vexed is putting the
subject very light; she lie indignant also
to think that anybody could be SO mean
as TO be guilty of such an act. Mr.. Glad
stone is overcome with grief at the loss of
his noble wife, and refuses to be COM
forted. If anybody will return that
stolen hen to Mrs. Wier they would be
sure of good reward and no questions
would be asked as to how it went or how
it came.
