DIR. KATE BUSHNELL, of Chicago, spoke
at the opera house Sunday evening to
large audience on the subject Of Social
Purity. The subject is one Of vital i'm
portance to society. AS the Doctor said,
it is not pleasant task, and one which
has, consequently, been sadly neglected.
The very common custom that society has
of kicking a hayward girl into the bot
tomless pit, while the man is still adj
mitted into good society, was severely
scored by Miss Bushnell. In 80 cases out
OF every 100, the man is wholly to blame,
while the woman is made to suffer sthe
entire shame and disgrace, and be forev-
er barred from decent society. This is
entirely wrong. 1t one is expelled from
society, both should be, and each should
receive equal assistance and encourage
ment to reform Miss Bushnell is en-
gagged in noble and glorious work as a
member of the W. c. T. u, one of the
best organizations eyer formed, and which
is doing untold good for temperance and
social purity. Her remarks Sunday ev-
ening were plain and forcible, and we are
sure there was not one but that was made
to realize the vast Importance of the
question, AID made to see need of reform
IN our laws governing social purity. She
again addressed the ladies at the Con-
gregational church on Monday at 8 p. m.
Her enthusiastic handling Of the sub
ject gave an impression deeply felt by
the audience. No onecould listen to su ch
arguments without being better fitted to
meet the questions relating to her subject
Her stirring words made every thoughtful
woman ready to weigh we'll the Ideas OF
social parity and DESTROYS to do something
to promote it in Austin, Don't let thu
spirit die without an effort.

time Lieutenant Governor of the State,

could not change me. Party fealty

A WORD ABOUT THE JEWS.

We think we may say with pride
that such thing as "Iewish vote"
has never presented itself in our Gov
eminent. Outside of the synagogue
we are citizens of the United States.
The Jew has always been remarkable
for his loyalty, because he SO complete
ly adapts himself to the country in
which he lives. Where are found
heartier Englishman than the English
Jews, where more typical Frenchmen
than the French Jews, where more
patriotic Germans than the German
Jews? The votes we cast have nothing
to do with the religious creed of the
candidate that is a private matter
Hf6re1o /ownaL
To all of which we cordially assent.
The Hebrews as a class have ever
proven themselves worthy and patriotic
citizens under all Circumstances, whether
in times Of peach or war. As voters
they have the welfare of their country
at heart and act upon principle rather
than prejudice in choosing men to serve
in Office.

We must still press onward in the

greater achievements in the future. We
hope that the matter of grand Expo
sltlon for either next year or the year
after, may at once be looked into and

ment. Our people are ripe for it, and
the outlook for success could not be
better.

THE OLD NORTH STATE FOREVER.

HE OLD NOlI1n SlAI II fOhE En-.
The following is taken from State
exchange, which one we do not now
recollect, having failed to credit at the
time it was clipped:
The people of the State of North
Carolina have cause for entertaining a
feeling of pride in the capabilities of
our commonwealth. Although not
uniformly fertile, her fields are gener-
ally productive, and in every section
living is easy and no man need want
for anything that ministers to the COM
forts of life. Her forests abound in
fine woods capable of any use required
for the necessities of the farm, and
frequently of great value as an article
of commerce. Her mineral resources
are varied and widely scattered
throughout the limits of the State.
Gold, iron, copper and coal are all
mined to advantage; while the tin de
posts are equal to any yet found IN
this country, and when fully explored
will doubtless prove of value. Her
precious stones are gems indeed while
her granite, marbles, sandstones, etc,
are not surpassed. 1t renews ones
patriotism to view these evidences of
the commonwealth, to take in at a
glance the large variety of productions
and see how generously nature has
equipped North Corolina for the uses
of our people. Let us cherish pride
in our resources and never cease to
work for their full development.
