Senator Vance says that North Caro-
lima produced more gold prior to the
discovery of the gold mines in Califor-
MIA than all the other States put
together.
1t is reported that the Cranberry
Iron Mine has been sold to an English
sydicate for six millions of dollars.
This is said to be the finest iron prop
erty in America.
The Nashville A1g0nant says if
North Carolina does not send a solid
delegation to the next Congress it will
be because of criminal Indifference.
The same paper advocates the nomi-
nation of F. NJ Simmons in this dis
triCt.
The North Carolina Teacher says
North Carolina history should be
taught in every North Carolina school,
and the Teacher is exactly right.
Every boy and girl should know the
history of the State from its first
colonization do"n to the present time.
Talking about improving the breed
of horses; it costs no more to feed and
raise a colt, that at three years old can
be sold at from $3.50 to $500, than it
does to raise a scrub, that at the same
age is hard to trade off for SIS in a
swap for pennyroyal cattle.-Lenlor

mill (the Oneida) will contain, when

North Carolina, as yet is almost
wholly undeveloped. For a few gen
erations people have lived here, cut
down a portion of the forests, planted
a few crops of grain, and have moved
father West in search of wealth. Such
has been the case all over the South.
Our possibilities are just beginning to
be realized in limited degree.-Ala-
nance Cleaner.
The Democrat is pleased to find
that the merchants of this town are
buying their yarns largely from the
Wilson cotton mills. This is right.
1t is patronizlng home patronage in a
substantial way that will after awhile
bring about the long hoped for era
when the South will manufacture
almost everything that it consumes

The great business of w. Duke,
Sons & Co., was begun by him on a
capital of fifty cents, and was recently
valued at seven and half millions of
dollars. The world is now their field
of business, their names being known
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
The history of the rise and progress Of
their business sounds like a romance
more like fiction than fact.-Raleigh

We are glad to see the movement on
foot in the University of North Caro-
lima, the effect of which is to give the
Alumni Association a more conspic-
uouS relation to the commencement
exercises than it has held heretofore
This is proposed to be effected by the
abolition Of the annual address on
Wednesday of commencement week,
and giving that day to alumni ad-
dresses or other exercises es-Asheville

If any one wishes to see Capt.
N. A. Ramsey he can be found
at Trinity College where he says he is
laying out the boundary lines of the
grounds which he is to embrace about
sixty acres we learn. So the first steps
toward work upon the college have
been taken. Durham is wide awake
and will not let much grass grow un-
der her feet, to use such metaphor. -

A representative of the Globe drop
ped in at the shuttle factory yesterday
and took a look at the busy workers.
1t is quite interesting to observe the
various branches of the process of
working up the rough timber and con-
verting it into the finished product.
The work is deity done with num-
Der of ingeniously contrived machines,
operated by skilltul hands; and the
finished articles are turned out at
rapid rate.-Durham Globe.
