AND SUCCESS.

In recent address the Hon.
Chauncy NJ Depew, of New York,
presented in felicitious manner
many most valuable suggestions rel
alive TO the cause which lead to sue
cess or failure in life.
''Of six young men," said he,
employed in one of the large es-
Establishments Of this city, five arrive
in the morning little after the
place opens, and during the last
hour or half their eyes are on the
clock to see when the time comes
when they can go. Should they be
called to do more, or other work
than that for which they were speci
ally employed, they decline, or do
so with an unpleasant degree of re-
luctance-they we're not hired to
do this or that, etc,
'They enter as walkers and be-
come tramps, in charge of a tape
counter yardstick will always
measure their attainments and pro-
gress.
''As assistant bookkeepers there
they remain. They will do nothing
tor which they are not engaged and
paid for. Their experience and
qualifications, therefore, never ex-
tend beyond their counter or special
department, and since there is little
or no increase in their degree of
usefulness, so there is little or no
promotion, no increase of salary.
When discouraged or disguised with
their lack of promotion they seek
employment elsewhere, their limited
experience prevents their obtaining
a more desirable position.
The sixth young man is at the
place when it opens, and at once
sets about doing something that
needs to be done. He does not
know that there is a clock in the es-
adjustment; he remains until his
work is done. II, from any cause,
an employee is absent, he volun-
teers to do extra duty and labor.
1t is not long before he knows
about every department of the bust
ness, and when a place more desira-
BILE than the one he occupies is va
cant hel is promoted to fill it"

Never say again that the newsna

Never say again that the newspa-
per writer is not master of diplom-
acy. One of the fraternity was to
write up the history of an old lady
of 90 up in New Hampshire. He
was told that she had never so
much learned her letters. Did he
blurt it right out in print Not a
bit of it. He merely stated in his
finely written article that "she can
read the finest print as well as she
ever could" Machiavelli may as
well resign his laurels. He has 10
longer any right to wear them.

maker has awarded the contract for
furnishing adhesive postage stamps
for the four years beginning on the

Philadelphia, having failed to comply
with his proposal. The award was
made for stamps of reduced size, the
new stamps being about one eighth
smaller than those in present use. The
designs will be changed to conform to
the reduction in the size of the stamps
and new epgravings will be made
throughout. The new contract also
calls for some changes in the colors
The one cent stamp will continue tc
be printed in blue, the two cent
stamps, now printed in green, will be
printed in bright carmine, and some
changes will be made in some of the
other denominations.

Mean Kick at the Alliance.
From the Sanford Express.


The New York Sun is stealthy
but inveterate enemy of the farmers.
It represents every interest that is op-
posed to honest living and good states
manship. 1t a most cowardly, but a
most able sheet. All this is just what
the New York Sun, edited by that
able, but purchasable, Chas. A. Dana,
is. 1t has accused the North Caro-
lima Farmers Alliance of forming a
trust. 1t says:
''It will be seen that the North Car
olina Farmers Alliance is pushing
and powerful body. 1t is an agricul-
tural trust, combination and monop.
oily, aud its result, if it is successful,
will be to raise the price Of certain
necessities of life and commerce, and
put money in the pockets of its MEM
bers."
The Farmers Alliance was organ.
lied in the South for the main purpose
of check-mating trnsts, the very indus
tries the sam is striving to promote
with all its meanness and ability. But
if the Farmers Alliance is a trust, it
little behooves the Sun to speak Of it
with ofense. That the Farmers AL
lance has raised the price on any ar
ticle of necessity we do not know, but
ifit has, the blame should be attached
where it belongs. The Sun is respon-
BILE for much Of the oppression of the
farmers, and they are no doubt pa.
tronizing this treacherous paper in the
South and North Carolina, to the
detriment of home papers that are
laboring earnestly for their best inter
ests.

Judge Logan and Gov. Vance.
From the Raleigh Signal


The recent death of Judge Logan
recalls the fact that this noted man
was the first person in the State to
nominate Col. Zeb. B. Vance for Gov
ernor. The facts are these:
There was general big muster at
Hamilton's Old Field in Rutherford
county, as was the custom in those
days; and after the military exercises
were concluded, a meeting was organ
ized, and General Logan, as he was
then, made a speech and nominated
Col. Zeb B. Vance for Governor. The
motion was carried unanimously, and
the files of the Raleigh Standard of
1862 will show that this was the first
public expression in favor of Col.
Vance for Governor. The mention
proved contagious, and meeting after
meeting was held in quick succession
all over the State, until Col. Zeb B.
Vance was made the candidate of the
"Peace Men" for Governor without
more formality than the several coun-
ty meetings. He was elected on the
first Thursday of August, 1862, by 49,
900 over Col. VIM. Johnston, of Char
lotte. From that day until parted by
death George w. Logan and Zebulon
B. Vance were firm friends. Their
political differences never disturbed
their personal attachment for each
other, and no man throughout the
State regretted Judge Logan's death
more than Senator Vance. One more
tie has been severed that binds Sena'
tor Vance to the days of yore.

batants reached the door and bounded
out under the trees. The congregation
poured out; the two men capered pict-
uresquely. Calvin got old Dawes head
under his arm; Dave bit him pain
fully in the short ribs. The effect of
the bite was 50 noticeable that all an
cient though much interested brother
remarked:
"The old mans teeth set diggin'."
The combatants danced a schottishe,
then suftened into a waltz with chances
about equal, but when the performance
was suddenly thrown in,o that species
of dance known as "doing the bunch"
old Dave, aided BY, his great expert
ence, trippef Calvin and sprawled him

The Negro Exodusters.
From the Wilson Adcance.l

About eighty negroes lett here on q
special car last Friday evening. They
were bound for Arkansaw (Arkansas),
as they called it. There were thirty
seven grown people. They came from
Pitt and Greene counties, coming up
to Wilson Tuesday evening. The ne
groes here entertained them until the
car came for them. We talked with
one of these men. He said he had
been to see the promised land, and
that pan cakes grew on trees and hon.
ey flowed in rivers. He said all the
negroes would leave this section by
the first of next January. That there
was NO use Of a negro trying to live in
North Carolina, as be was cheated out
Of all he made, and that they would
be better off anywhere else. Poor, de.
luded fools, how they will suffer! We
say let them 60 and stay! Would il
had been eighty thousand instead Of
eighty.

in the French Renaissance style Of
buff Indiana limestone, over 800 feet
long by $50 feet. The grounds are to
be laid out and ornamented by Fred

MY AUTUMN.

The following beautiful lines were writ n
by Mr.. W. E. Christian, editor of the Charlotte
Democrat, in memory of his wife, the late Ia
mented Mrs. Julia Jackson Christian, Stoae-
wall Jackson's child.l
Once there was Spring for me,
When she was here;
With morning song for melody,
And blooming eyes for flowers,
And golden smiles for sunny hours
The sky was happy-toned with love;
Twas April chant around-above,
When she was here.
The summer came with fevered hand
When she was here;
Her cheek was by hot wind famed,
And her eyes went out of bloom,
And clouded hours died in gloom.
She walked not to her baby's cry,
Dark lashes o'er-swept tired eye,-
She was not hers.
Nesting, lift your. little head,
And cali her here;
Leaves are crimsoned, falling, dead,
Heart and bough grow bleak and bare
Frosty spangles edge the air.
Call her to our autumn nest,
For our warmth lay in her breast,
When she was here.
Then, came nay winter home,
With her not here;
Nor will another Spring time come,
For JOY now quiveIing, now is dead,
My darling and my heart are wei;
Leave them-frozen into one;
Keep away-both song and sun;
For she's not here.

immense plant, the main building be-
ing, as we learn from the Charlotte

looms for weaving cloth for bags, 15,-
600 spindles and all the necessary pre-
paratory machinery. 1t will employ
500 hands and work 20 bales Of cotton
per day, and will be lighted by elec-
tricity. In addition to the main build
ing there are several others used for
various purposes, and eighty tenement
houses for the use of operatives. 1t Is
an immense plant, and speaks well for
the push and snap of Concord's pro-
gressive spirit.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Superintendent Finger Tells the People
Plain Facts.
From the Ncus and Observer.]

-
From the Neus and Obserper1
RALEIGH, N. c., Oct. 20, 1889.
notice what you say in your issue
of to day about the Blair bill, and 1
had al.o noticed what the Ashevil!e
Citizen said as to the Democratic press
being unit against it, or as nearly a
unit against it as it was in favor of edu-
cation. l do not know whether the
Citizen meant to say that the Demo
cratic press was heartily in favor of a
iheral system of public education. If
50 take it that the press is in favor
of increasing our school facilities from
our own resources. However this
may be, it may not be amiss for me to
state our condition, as follows:
1st. In the United States there is
annually spent for public education an
average of two dollars ($2) to every
man, woman and child.
I'd. In North Carolina there is an
nually spent for public education an
average of thirty nine (39) cents to
every man, woman and child in the
State; while in Virginia the corre-
spending amount is ninety three (93)
cents.
That is to say, the average educa-
tional effort in the United States is
over FIVE times as great as it is in
North Carolina and in Virginia it is
about two and one-half times as great.
Other figures show that North Carroll
ma is behind almost all the other South
ern States in public educatio onal effort
and very much behind most of them.
Sd. In North Carolina Our average
annual public school term is just about
three school enthusiastically, last
year, sixty three days-and it cannot
with the amount of money we spend
be increased much, if any.
4th Our public schools do not sat
isfy either their friends or their enc
mics. They are not good enough to
command the respect of those who be.
lieve in a liberal system Of education
to the end that our material prosperity
may be promoted and our civil anc
religious liberties perpetuated /; they
are too good to please those who art
| opposed to public education entirely
or who are opposed to it except as {
charity, and support it only Oh th'
principle that they give a piece o
bread to beggar.
9Th. As the head Of the system, b.
the favor CT the people, l think it i
impossible to supper, creditaLle sys
tenn with the small amount We nov
apply. I am not complaining this j
the peoples business, and l conside
my duty discharged when do tn
very best l can with the means the,
allow for the schools, and when 1 stat
what our condition is really and com
paratively.
9th. The significant questions are
What are we going to do about it
Will we drag along as we are? VII
we raise more money in the State
Will we try to get some Congressions
appropriation?
Let the press copy this article an
take the matter up and discuss it. w
can hardly afford to stand where W
are. Very respectfully,
S. M. FINGER.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treafured in the memo
ry and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that SO much is heard in praise Of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alteaative and Tonic. Ii you are
troubled with any disease of Kidneys. Liver
