North Carolina is good enough
State if the people would read more
and study harder WIlssington Mes
senger.
There is great wisdom in the above
quotation.from our able contemporary
North Carolina truly,is great State.
The romance of her resources, Git reads
like. tales, from fairy land), have been
reclted in almost every journal of in
fluence in this entire land. Millions
ofwealth lie buried beneath her soil, and
itss'only needs just the two things thai
the Messenger suggests to bring it up
The people need to know their re-
sources and then they need to develor
them. To know our resources means
a great deal. 1t does not simply
mean to commit to memory the num-
Der of iron mines, gold mines, copper
mines, granite beds, mari beds, species
of timber, the water powers, and hun
dreds of other things; but it means for
each and every man to commit to
memory few things which he can do
in the development OF this great State,
and then go to work and do it. We
need only this to make ours a land OF
plenty. Most assuredly we must know
something of what is around us be-
fore we can do much. But our peo-
pie theorize too much for the practice
they make of their theories.
The Messenger says that "North
Carolina is a good enough. State if the
people would read more and work
harder" But the reading and the
working are too seldom coupled to-
gcther.
And just here is one of our great
troubles. The laboring man frequently
says that he would read more if he
had the time. He says that his labors
are SO hard and his duties so impera-
tive he can not afford the time to read.
This is a great mistake. The or
dinary farmer who is too busy to read
would in may cases be able to get as
large returns :, from one acre if he
would manage it intelligently as he
does now from three
The laboring man needs to read
more.
Then there is another impeachment
mountain high with some, that pre-
vents our progress; and that is the
lack of labor with those who do read.
So many men read three hours rrabout
the proceedings in Congress, emigra-
ton, cyclones, or some other thing
that makes their hair stand on end for
fear, and then loaf three days to tell
what they have read.
In many instances before the young
man has intelligently read the history
of his own State he concludes that
educated people ought not to stay in
the sunshine; SO he works for his board
and suit of clothes extra in some
body's store.
Too many farmers want to put their
sons in business before they know how
to curry an OK or harness horse. When
boys get a little educated many of
them don't want 10 soil their hands.
They don't like the heal;hful sunshine
any longer. They want to be pale
dyspeptics. Too many men are
ashamed of their poverty, and 60 too
far out of the way to hide it. The
reading man needs to labor more.

IMMIGRATION.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
During the week just past l have re-
ceived official notice from twenty-three
counties of the election of director for
their respective counties, seventeen OF
which have held large citizens meetings
characterized by deep interest, and in
many instances my advices say by en-
thusiasm not shown in anything short of
presidential returns. All of these coun-
ties are hearty in their praise of the
timely movement and endorse the work
of the state convention and assure the
Bureau of their strong and prompt CO.
operation to assist in carrying out the
plans already suggested and to be sub
mitted by the executive board of the
Bureau, to place. Kansas in her true light
before the eastern people, which features
the Bureau believes, carries with 1t .

IMAGINATION IN DISEASE.

The Boston Herald warns its readers
against allowing the imagination and la
grippe to form a partnership, and to en-
force the admonition, revives the fable
of the Traveller and the Plague" A
Traveller met the Plague coming from
Bagdad, where there had been terrible
harvest of death. "You ought to be
ashamed of yourself" quoth the Traveller.
"What have l done?" asked the Plague.
s'Donel'' said the Traveller, ''you have
killed 10000 people in Bagdad." Not l."
rejoined the Plague, 81 slew but one.
Fear killed the rest" The story has a
direct application, not only to the pesti-
lence that walketh in the east, but to the
milder epidemic with which two CONT
nents are now afflicted. All epidemics
are alike on one point. Fear arms them
with shadowv terrors and greatly in
creases their power to destroy. At the
very time when men most need sound
nerves, clear heads and high courage,
fear lays its hand on the heart and in its
chill touch the vital force is snapped. In
fighting disease the imagination counts
for great deal, one way or the other.
Physicians say that patient who gives
UP is half dead already, while patient
who feels sure Of recovering will often
pull through, even when all the chances
look against HIM. So deadly are the ter
rors of the imagination that in the Eng
lish colony of FIJI the law has to put
its nineteenth century notions quite to
one side, and recognize witchcraft as
serious crime. 1.-The Fijians," says a
recent writer, "are SO persuaded that a
bewitched person will die, that it is only
necessary to tell person he is bewitched
to insure his death within few days
from pure fright" So when a native is
brought before an English magistrate on
an accusation of practicing withcraft
the charge, instead of being laughed out
of court, is gravely dealt with, and con-
viction entails sentence of imprison-
ment for twelve months and forty lashes.
The crime is purely visionary, but it
works such mischief that the punish
ment has to be very real. We can give
our readers no sounder advice than to
drive from their minds in the present
emergency every trace of the wItchcraft
of fear

THE FORUM.
rom the Boston Traveller. Dec. .. lssp,

From the Boston Traveller. Dec .. lsss.
In March. 1886, there was founded a
magazine unique and individual in its
scope, independent in its views. and
elastic in its suggestion and thought; a
review which is truly an institution for
the promotion of fearless and impartial
discussion. Never has review more
perfectly fulfilled its ideals. One in
stance of It's usefulness is shown in the
fact that during the past twelve months
more than 5000 editorials were sug-
gested by its articles published in the
American and British press. The Forum
Is also used in connection with their
lectures by professors at Harvard and
many other leading institutions; it is en-
titled TO claim the largest number Of
authoritative contributors OF any Amer
lean periodical, and among its su5scri-
bers is "a large number OF men conspicuous
III public life. It's name Is a most felicit-
GUS one. The new problems in govern
ment, religion, sociology, and practical
affairs are discussed in the most able and
fearless manner from its platform. Each
of the four years since Its establishment
its subscription list has nearly doubled,
and it is probably now larger than tho
subscription list of any similar period
ical in England or in our own country.
From this, one may well conclude that
there is a deep concern felt by the people
of the United States in these problems of
humanity.
The excellence of the Forum is like
that of good wine that needs no bush.
Once introduced into any intelligen.
household, it is found 20 be q sine qua
non of existence.

KANSAS THE CENTRAL FIGURE.

No state in the American union sur
passes Kansas in the wide range and
scope of its possibilities as a wealth pro-
ducing state. 1t may be truly said to be
an empire in itself, possessing as it does
the capability of producing almost every
thing needful for mans comfort and
pleasure in this life. What it does not
possess can be more easily enumerated.
perhaps than what it does, and these are
embraced in the metal ores. except
copper and lead. and a full complement
of forest timbers. Its agricultural posi-
bilities embrace practically everything
that is grown on American soiI-an the
cereals and root crops, all the fruits and
berries, the great clothing staples of
woo9silk, cotton and fax: salt enough
TO supply the world indefinitely lies lust
beneath the surface, and live stock
enough to supply the nation with its
meat food, and leather for all its needs.
These and many other articles of neces-
sity, comfort and luxury, are the actual
products of the state and the extent OF

with the material for his constant EN-
ployment in many of the most profitable

RUNNYMEDE NOTES.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The weather during the past week has
been most enjoyable and nearly every
one in the colony has taken the oppor-
tunity of enjoying the pleasure of
skating, sleigh riding and putting up
ice.
Mr.. Turner has erected large ice
house twenty feet square and sixteen
feet high, and has up to the time of
writing some 200 tons of fine ice already
put up. So that the colony during the
hot summer months will have some
thing TO cool their beverages with.
Much interest is taken in the contem-
plated railroad, and every member is
doing his utmost to hurry along the work
of construction. At present our means
# getting to Wichita are very round
about, and considering the amount OF
corn, hogs and cattle shipped from here,
the work is, to say the least, tedious; so
that road will be great boon to the
community generally, and will meet
with every available assistance. Let her
come, and we will receive her right
royalty.
A laundry has been started this week,
and is, we hear, doing thriving bust
ness.
Messrs. Wood, Faulker and Magregor
are in Wichita attending the Burns BAN
quet.
The hotel has been found inadequate
to cope with the constant flow of visitors,
and five new bedrooms have had to be
constructed. They will be ready in a
few DAYS to receive guests,
Great interest is taken in the immigra-
ton scheme and all are doing every
thing in their power to promote the
EMANCIPATION of good Christian, hard
working Englishmen to this country"
Where could happier and more pros
porous spot be found? B.
