munication from some OF the "sol.
der boys" as to his feelings towards
their cause under the new admins
tration. He says it shall be his
pleasure and duty to assist them and
all others irrespective of party in

II is a Curious Fact

That the body is now more susceptible to
benefit from medicine than at any other
season. Hence the importance of taking
Hood g Sarsaparilla now, when it will do
you the most good. 1t is really wonder
full for purifying and enriching the
blood, creating an appetite, and giving a
healthy tone to the whole system. Be
sure to get Hood S Sarsaparilla. which is
peculiar to itself.

Died, at the residence of her father,
in this city, Feb. 18th, 1889, Mary
Lyons. aged 90 years, | month and l6
days.
In the person of this young girl
were embodied all the qualities that
go to make the perfect woman.-amia-
ble in disposition, modest and retir-
ing, she was beloved by all who knew
her. Left at the age of fourteen years,
by the death of her mother, to care
for large family of sisters and broth
ers, she nobly fulfilled the trust, and
has gone to her reward. Sadly we
saw her swiftly fading from us day by
day, yet were powerless to stay the
destroying hand of death. Let the
Borrowing father. sisters and brothers
look across the yawning chasm of the
grave to the bright beyond, remem-
bering in their affection, /" Whom
God loveth He chasteneth,n yet He
doeth all things we'll,
Thou art gone to the grave, we no long
er behold thee:
Nor tread the rough paths of this world
by thy side
But the wide arms of Mercy were spread
to enfeld thee.
And death hath no terrors since the
Savior hath died.

After all, can North Carolina afford to

very much behind Virginia, Tennessee and
all the SOUTHERN STATES but one or two,

education of the negroes here. But do
YOU know that, including poll-tax which
they actually pay, and fines, forfeitures,
and penalties. the negroes furnish large
proportion of the money that is applied to
their public schools
But whatever may be said about the
education of the negro, the following are
questions every man should earnestly ask
himself: Can we afford to allow the white
children to grow up in ignorance because
the negroes are here? Shall | be a party

while there are other story tellers whose
names deserve to be mentioned, my aim
has been to notice only those who are
known to the nation. Others will doubt
less win their place for themselves in the
near future, but in the meanwhile enough
names have been mentioned to show that
Southern writer's have been kindly re-
ceived by Northern readers, and that the
great magazines have become truly ma
tional by ignoring all sectionallsm in the
selection of their literary matter.
1t is needless to add that the reflex of
this magnanimity upon Southern writer's
has been wholesome and gratifying. While
their writings contain the warmth and
color and glow of Southern life, they have
shaken sectional shackleS from their limbs
and have breathed into their work the
broad spirit of nationality, which is grow
ing and strengthening every day. North
ern magazines have become national maya
zines, and Southern writer's have become
national writers.

The battle of the Regulators, where
he first blood was shed for real liberty in
America, is Unmarked and u signlf1ed to
the traveller.
The as,oye is quoted from Senator
sance's speech at the Guilford Battle
Ground Celebration on 18th inst, and we
-1rlte this to correct the error that the
senator has fallen into and into which he
likely to lead others.
The Battle Of the Regulators was fought
MAY It.1771, and resulted disastrously to
he Regulators. but it was the real begin,
ming of the struggle for American indie
peudence.
In the wear 1880 ah association was or
zauized of which J. L. SCOTT, ESQ, was
President. and REV DR. D. a. LONG, now
L'resident Of Antioch College, Ohio, was
Secretary and BY his untiring energy and
persistent efforts sufficient money was
raised to erect monument to mark the
spot where the Regulators she'd the first
blood on American soil for the cause ol
berty and freedom; and on the 29Ih day
III NAV y 8SO) the monument was unveiled
.yith appropriate ceremonies IN the pres
.ace Of Z, SOC or 4 600 people. Our pres
eat worthy Governor, the HoS- DAN'L e.
EgVLE, aud Lieut. Gov, HoE. THos. NJ
IuLT Hon JOHN MANNING and others,
4mong them descendants of some who
we're ln the battle, were present and made
spooeles. The monument stands on the
very battle field and amid the graves OF
ONE of the Regulators who perlshed
here The monument is shaft OF Ala
