FROM AS1IENGEON.

Our correspondent from WaSAing~
ton writes on July Syh:
Great is the force Of example.
Commissioner of Pensions Tanner
q short time since made his daughter
his private secretary at a salary of
$500 year, now the new Commas
sloncr Of Indian affairs, TbOs, J.
Morgan Of Rhode Island, has his
wife for private secretary at q salary
Of 81, 900 year. Seeing the action
of these officials DR.. Dorchester,
superintendent of Indian schools
had his wife appointed Special agent.
IA!o enables her to travel around
with the doctor, when he visits the
different Indian school and get her
expenses paid ana a salary of $500
day from kIn@ old Uncle Sam. All
this time there is a law against the
employ ment of more than one mem
Der Of the same family by the same
department.
Attorney General Miller has dis

Virginia republican who declines an
Office. Mr.. G. y. Hectmans, who
was recently appointed assistant

should have been appointed attor,

Sued by ;In n circS>.

The Raleigh CoU says Miss Wade,
an actress, has instituted suit against
Messrs. Duke. Sons Il Co., for
$4,000, for using hcr likeness as q
cigarette picture. She claims that
she is made to appear in the picture
in an lmmodest costume, ia which
she has never been seen.
Now TIE DEMOCRAT has nothing
personal to say OF Mess. Duke &
Sons, but We have more than once
had something to say about the nude
and indecent pictures which cigar
cite manufactures put in their goods
1t is disgrace AMI an insult to a de
cent public to put in cigarettes or
anything else the shocking picture;
that are sometimes seen taken from
these packages.
We have made the statement be
fore in these columns aud we repeat
it that this editor has never ever

for the picture in it as for the pleas

No longer ago than this morning
we saw what peopI,
consider a heightened gen
tleman, open package of cigarettes
and the first thing he did was tc
look at the obscene picture it con
tanned. A decent business tina
can't thrive without temptations t,
liccntlOusness Olght to die. And i
Miss Wade has been injured b,
false pictures of herself, let thos,
who treat her and other women thu
take the consequences.

Thus Far and no Further.

From the frequent deaths by
drowning on onr coast, We think that
something ought TO be devised IN the
way Of a safeguard TO those who are
reckless enough to risk their lives in
ventures in the surf.
Every year leaves its sad records
in the public PRINTS, in the deep
waters, in the cemeteries, anC IN the
hearts of loved ones in happy homes,
of the premature death of. some
thougbtless young man or some
giddy young woman.
People will go to the sea shore,
and IT is right and Proper, The sea
shore is a good place to visit 10 rest
fish, battle, study nature and enjoy
leisure days. But we believe that
the Legislature Of the State ought
to put some barrier at the proper
limit IN the .@Gc H.vcnd which ~
oar could g. i b- wished.
In all carneStncss We think suCl
preCautiOn ought to be made on al.
our coast. Drowning IS too common,
Let those at the scashore take warn
ing and wach for their safety wher
in the reach Of d8ngCr.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1889-07-11

We heard Il gentleman in Halifax
say a few days ago that 1t was the
impre ssi0n with some business men
that Scotland Neck is the best open
ing for bank in the county.
A gentleman of large experience
and Of considerable wealth, now
living in another state, after visiting
this town and seeing the business
here, gave it as his opinion that this
town offers special Inducements tc
any one who might wish to engage
in the banking business.
And now at this particular crisis
of our history when the town is
taking on new life it is especially
desirable that we should have s
bank. Let our business men think
the matter over carefully. We are
satisfied that it will pay. We know
it is needed Will not some one
who has the capital start the work:
There is money and good bushes;
in it.

TuEINSaNE ASYLUM

For several days past there Las
been considerable excitement at the
Insane Asylum at Raleigh in conse-
quence of trial Of the Superinten-
dent DR.. Gri8som before the Board
Of Directors.
He has been charged by DR.. Slon
Rogers and Mr., john Thompson,
who are come cted with the instltu
ton as physician and steward, with
some very serious ofensc9.
The charges are substantially
these:
Immoral conduct towards the at
PENDANTS Of the asylum cruel treat
meut Of the inmates; and mlsman-
agement Of the finances Of the Insti>
tuition. The examination to date
has been exhaustive showing many
things that have the appearance OF
developing into great scandal.
The last reports which We have
read were Tuesdays papers from
Mondays examination. DR., Girls
som himself was on the stand and
emphatically denied the whole thing
80 far as heard, except one point of
evidence against him. That was
relative TO improper advances made
to one Mrs. Parkinson whose hus>
RAD wa il The service ur thc insti~
tuJiUu.
DR.. Grlssom dcDie3 all the charges
looking to any immortality except
one as 10 this woman. lie admits
that on one occasion when Mrs. Per-
| kinson's husband had been discharg
cd she came in tears to HIM asking
employment for her hustand, and
through sympathy for her he took
her by the hand and kissed her.
Now in the same spirit in which
Lincoln said "with malice toward,
nonc," and IN the light Of true reason
and fair investigation, it seems thai
| there must have been a stupendouS
conspiracy against DR.. Gris3om If
the concertion Of this great arraign,
mont or that there is some truth il
! The charges.
As to his kissing Mrs. Parkinson
She was woman, we Judge, fa
beneath DR.. Grissom socially, as h,
himself testifics that he made be
husband night Waterman at the pls
pen Vas it then kiss Of sympathy
Let's see. Had DR.. Grissom prev
ously borne the good reputation o
being so heartily in sympathy will
the poor and less fortunate? Ha(
he ever been specially known sine
his first connection with the institu
ton to take to his own bosom in loy
ing sympathy such unhappy ones O
both SereS? Would DR.. Grissom hav
sympathetically taken Mrs. Perkin
son by the hand IN the lighted city
as the Great Physician of soul, dis
tressed patients did, and given th
kiss Of sympathy there?
We give it az our opinion that
Something is rotten in the State

End OF the Teachers Institute.

The very successful and pleasant Teach
crs' Institute Of 1889 closed last Friday
| afternoon.
After the regular program had been
concluded, Rev. Keller Of Grove City, was
asked to make few remarks on moral
training in the public schools. The Rev.
responded and made an excellent hall
hour speech-onc that would be worth
printing in full. He said great many
good things, one Of which was that
"Sclfshness is the sum of all human vii
lainies" During his speech tremendous
rain storm came up and many Of the
audience left the room.
II was announced that W. 7. Jamison
was secretary Of the committee on per
manent certificates, that all applicants for
such certificates should correspond with
him, and he will give notice Of the meet
ings of the committee.
The committee on the Teachers Union
was then called upon for their report and
Mr.. Wilson read the constitution of the
proposed Union, as printed below, and it
was voted upon and adopted by those
teachers present.
The committee on resolutions was then
called upon for their report, and its chair
man read the resolutions as printed below.
They thanked the superintendents and in
structors for their work, and recommended
that Prof Leslie be engaged for the next
Institute.
The finance committee reported the re-
ceipts as follows: From teachers, $4lI;
from lectures, sls7.70; balance from last
year, sl47.07, which with the State appro-
priation Of 5000 aggregates $946 81. The
expenses could not be stated, as all the
bills had not yet been paid
Mr. Russell then made statement re-
gardng Prof Leslic's bill, which he said
was a surprise 70 him; told tho teachers
that bringing him back would add 50 cents
to their fee for next year, and took another
vote on that question:; but the teachers
seemed TO think that Leslie was worth an
extra 80 cents and again voted for his re-
turn.
Miss Partridge was then given an oppor-
turity to advertise her model school, after
which tho Institute adjourned.

THE STATES FINANCES.
Receipts and Expenditures Dur
ing the Past Year.

The State Treasurer's and Auditor Gen
erals reports for the fiscal year ending
November Both, 1889, have besn completed
and placed in the hands of the public
printer for publication. 1t will be seen
from the summary appended that the pay
ments from the general fund exceeded the
receipts By SO, ,2sl 76. As the Common
wealth happened to have some money on
hand at the close of the last fiscal year,
there was no deficiency and the bills were
promptly met The general fund receipts
were sc, 52s, $50 81 and the expenditures
were &C, 595, ,23S 81, the largest expenses
for the general fund account in the history
Of the States finances. This is accounted
for by the large appropriations by the
Legislature, including two millions to the
public schools. The sinking fund receipts
for the year were 81, ,936, 442 81 and the
expenditures were q, ST., COS 81.
Ths following is a summary of the re-
ceipts and expenditures during the year:

The shades of night were falling down,

And through the mild and balmy air
With perfume ladened rich and rare,
Came stealing from the distant bill
The wild, weird notes Of whippoorwill.

The wild, weird notes Of whippoorwill!

A vision Of my lost Lorraine.
Her lips were parted with a smile,
That might the saddcst heart bcguile,
To lull il from its load Of care,
And feel its grief grow light as air.
