MRS. sPENOER's HISTORY.
Why..it is Not Popular with Certain Peo-
pie and Papers.
[Fron, the StctesuiHe La admark.1

From the StatesUHe La adn,ark.1
Why is not the "First Steps il
North Carolina History" written by
that highly gifted woman, Cornelia
Spencer, popular with the newspaper:
and the State educational authorities
Does she not score Holden and Kirk
with righteous scorn? Is not the car
pet bagger sufficiently pilloried? Has
she single good word for the murder
e-s Of Mrs. Surratt? Could Governor
Graham himself better give the ku
klux philosophic apology? We fear
her offence is the inculcating of the
now universally admitted truth that
slavery is per Sc wrong and that the
South in its defence undertook to
wreck the Union. The politicians
like to insist that slavery had nothing
to do with the war, but that we fought
over the instruction of the constitu
tion Judge CASTOR, sixty years ago,
and before him, Mr.. Jefferson, had the
same views Of slavery as is presented
in this little book. Our children are
hardly apt to err now in imbibing
their notions ON a subject which has
passed into history as completely as
the story of the deluge. In moral
point of view it is of the most vital i'm
port that they should have correct no.
tions as to the truth on that subject;
and the little book on this as on all
subjects of which it treats tells the
truth, unpleasant though it be to some
to read it.
Governor Vance, in letter to Gov.
Swain, just before taking the field
against Holden's peace policy in 1864,
declared that the heart of North Car
olina was not then, and never had been
in the war. Surely he was in posi-
tion to know public opinion in this
State. Mrs. Spencer adopts this view.
No man at all familiar with the feel
ing of our people from 1861 to 1865
will doubt that our State was looked
upon with distrust by the Richmond
authorities.
With half of the defending force of
the capitol city from North Carolina,
the State was represented in the law
department OF government without a
Supreme Court, awhile by Gov. Bragg
and awhile by Mr.. George Davis. If
history be the record of what was and
not an er post tacto summary of what
present needs would choose to have for
justifying or consoling preceflents, this
humble guide is history.
There is no family gloritic ati IN in it.,
no more is said of the University than
its past warrants and there is con-
servative. catholic spirit in'its every
page which is sure to be healthful to
our youth.
am Mrs. Spencer's debtor and 1
think the State is grateful to her for
this as we'll as many other services.

A Schoolboy Takes Poison.
From las. Fridays Green, 5oro Workman

| [F'roaa last Friday's Green boro Workmanl
News was received here last evening
that night or two ago, one of the
students of Thompson School at Siler
City attempted. and but for interfer-
ence would have taken his own life.
The name of this young man with
such self destructive propensity is
Baxter Mangum, and he halls from
South Carolina. Mr.. Mangum looks
to be about twenty two years old, and
is candidate for the ministry. He is
of the Baptist faith.
On Monday night Mr.. Mangum took
nearly an ounce of laudanum, and it is
said had it not been for DIR. Lutterloh,
who was in an adjoining room, and who
found out about the dose Immediately
after it was taken, young Baxter would
have been dead in very short time.
The dose was taken at II o'clock a.
night. Emetics were given, and Man
gum was walked around until day.
An eye witness says he never saw any
one so near gone. Mangum remained
unconscious for considerable length
of time. His pulsations were only
about 40 per minute.
The next night he had an eighth of
an ounce of morphine, and was trying
to take that, but when he saw that if
he did he would be discovered, Re at.
tempted to hide the morphine under
his pillow.
He had attended the Y. NJ. c.. A. a
few days before and there bid them all
good bye saying that he would never
see them all again He had left writ,
ten instructions in his room for the
disposal of his body, books, etc.
Mangum will be sent home to day.
One of the boys will go with him.

Lexington Aroused.

From the Lexington Ledger.
The theme Of conversation at this
time n"ng our citizens is the impor-
tance of u railroa! which must soon be
built. This line is the southern ex-
tension of the Roanoke and Southern
railroad, with a starting point at
Winston Salem, aud its terminus will
be Monroe.
The earnest desire of our people is
that the road shall come py Lexington.
A number cf our most substantial cit
izens have signified their willingness
to subscribe literally toward building
the road to this place. A private sub
scription of 5000 or $4,000 could
be easily raised here, to say nothing
of what the town, and different town
ships through which the road will run,
would be willing to give. There is no
doubt but that our wide awake and
enterprising sister towns, Winston Sa-
lem, will clasp our hand and do no.

Poetical Politics.
[ Washington Dispatch 23,.l at. !

Mr.. Allen, of Mississippi. quoted
from a speech delivered by Mr.. Can
non, declaring that the republican
party was devoted to the country and
would administer the government
with greater economy. Since the 4th
of March, 1889, it has been impossible
for Mr.. Allen to keep up with his re-
publican friends when he met them ou
the street, in their wild rush to the
department to get Offices and show
their devotion to the country.
Mr.. Allen told a story to illustrate
the republicans of the administration.
Upon meeting republican and ask
ing him what he thought of it, the
reply was:
"Wanny runs Sunday School,
Levi runs the bar;
Baby runs the White House,
And damn it, here we are"

A Negro Killed at ReidsviIle.
From Fridays Daily Reuie,o ]

An old colored man named Bob
Moore, aged about 85, while wander
ing on the railroad track this morning
about $50, was ran over by the south
bound freight train No. %, and killed
about mile and half north Of here.
He was crushed into pieces and
when found could scarcely be
recognized. 1t is thought that two
trains ran over him during the night,
as his clothes were literally torn and
stripped from his body and were found
about mile north of where the man
lay. The body was brought up to
Reidsville for burial.
Moore has been living here with
his son n-law, Anderson Lee. He
has five living children.
About a week ago he lost his mind
and has been uncomfortable ever since.
When last seen here he was sitting
on a truck at the depot when the
trains had passed last night, and from
t. ere he wandered down the track to
where he met hi horrible death.

From the Greensboro Workm1n
There was little game of shooting
in this city last Sunday night, in
which Ben Strayhorn tried his pistol
ON VIM. Allen, both colored. The
disturbance was about kitteny which
fitly represents the mental, social and
religious status of the parties. 1t be-
gan in house. Allen went out and
Strayhorn followed him; the latter
fred two shots at his adversary, and
then to avoid arrest beat his way to
Reidsville in a box car. At Reidsville
he was captured by Officer Weatherly
Of this place, who turned him over to
the jailer. The innocent cause of the
disturbance is perhaps purring some
where in the sunshine dreaming of
mice and grasshoppers.

A Tragedy in Mitchell County.
From the Charlotte Chronicle I

from Me ChdftOue ChrOntcte
A triple tragedy occurred in Mitch
ell county, about mile from Elk
Park, Saturday. The fight occurred in
a country bar room. The Elk Park
Post reports that Ham Oaks was shot
through the liver and right arm and
lived two days. Dave Oaks was shot
through the groin, and Will Bass Was
stabbed nearly through with a dirk; it
entered on the right side, about the
fourth rib, and the flesh has turned
purple Oh his back, on line with the
wound. The pistol used was a A
British bull dog, which was in the
hands Of Will Bass. No one seemed
to know who cut Bass. Ham Oaks is
dead, and but little hope is entertain
ed as to the recovery of Bass. Dave
Oaks has serious risk to run, of
course, but he may survive.
