CHATTER xvI.-A HAPPY PARTY.

The next morning we were up bright
and early. There is no drowsy fog here to
keep one in bed until ten o'clock. Every
thing in nature has a charm for the early
riser. We all met at the breakfast table.

Stella and her friend, Lady Irving had
always thought Stella bright and beauti-
full, but this morning, with her simple
gray gown, dainty neck trimming and soft
wavy hair, thought her more beautiful
than ever, and us the face is an index to
the mind, she must have been at peace
with herself and all the world A look Of
glad content lit up in all her expressive
features and sparkled in her eyes.
''WeIl, what is the programme for to
day." asked Mr.. Lollard, after the first
general greetings had been given. "Are

The Roanoke Nescs of the End, says
it believes that there are at least ten
thousand people in Halifax county,
honest, hardworking men and their
families-who are unable to carry on
their farming operations as they have
done heretofore and thinks the Governor
ought to have session ofthe Legislature
as asked to do, saying: They asked for
bread and they got stones, in the
shape of advice which they are unable
to follow.
We think time will prove the wisdom
Of the Governors course; the people are
in bad coalition financially, but it is not
SO bad as has been thought. To have
heard the people talk in the poor mans
reliefmeeting held here some time ago,
would have made some think that suf-
fering would have been extreme before
now, but such is not the case. We are
glad to say that preparation for another
crop are being made, and the prepara-
tons are better and more advanced than
In many years. Many laborers have
left and more will leave, but there is
little fear oftoo many doing so-7hrboro

Race War in Illinois.

ALTON, ILL, January 11.--The
Alton board of education has provided
separate school for colored children,
but the negroes want their children to
attend the schools set apart for white
pupils. Yesterday score of adult ne
groes, accompanied by halt hundred
black children, went to the high school
and demanded admission. Superinten-
dent Powell is mild hammered man,
and offered no obstruction. The black
Oh ildren walked in and took possession
ofall the desks they found unoccupied.
The white pupils protested, and began
to pack up their books and made prep
aratlon to leave. Some of the colored
boys grinned at the white girls, and as
soon as the negro men left the building
the white pupils assaulted the blacks.
There was hard fight for fifteen min
utes, during which books, inkstands,
rules, states aud hair filled the air. The
white finally drove the blacks out of the
room, chased them out of the yard, and
the fight in the streets. The
white girls urged their. companions on
with enco uraging shouts, and brought
them munitions of war when possible.

A ELL has been introduced in the
Virginia Legislature to revive the
whipping post n that State. 1t ought
to pass and become a law Public
whipping is a Just mode of punishment
which, if the " fine" system be done
away with in certain cases, reaches the
rich as we'll as the poor. The humilia-
ton of such punishment will keep
many would be criminals from giving
away to their passions or unlawful de-
sires. If the whipping post was in use
in all the States, the lash unsparingly
applied there would be less law break
ing, less petty thieving, less disgusting
drunkenness, and the moral atmos-
phere pervadIng every community
would he better and purcr. The whip
ping post may be "relc of barba-
ism,' but it is the most effective way
of dealing with this class Of offenders.

to see Mr.. Robert w. Winston, of
Oxford, appointed to fill the place
made vacan, on the Superior Court
Bench by the resignation OF Judge
Gilmer. Mr.. Winston is we'll
equipped lawyer, close student,young

for the position, the entire Bar of Hen
derson signing petition TO that effect,
along with others elsewhere, and TO
this writer and Others Of Mr.. WinstOn's
many friends and admirers here out

not have the honor of signing such
petition it would have given great
pleasure had they been permitted to
do SO. We hope Gov. Fowle will ten

Very many people who know and APP
preciate his worth and merit would
applaud such appointment and regard
it fit recognition Of his ability and
fitness for the place.

| we'll known citizen of Halifax county:

Dear Madam Most gladly do 1 give
you my name to place before the public
bearing testimony of the miraculous cure

what seemed to be little scales appearing
OH the right side of my cheek under the

would return again in a short time. Soon
an enlargement appeared under the same
eye, attended with itching and burning
sensations and sharp, darling pains from
the affected place to the eye, causing great
difficulty in closing the eye, even to sleep.
Sometimes it would feel better, but never
at any time disappear. Some physicians
pronounced it eczema, others chronic cry
sipetaS, and all advised me to let 1t alone.
This did until two years ago, when lit
tie scab began to form right under the eye,
resembling wart. which could not re-
move !: in size and appearance it soon grew
to be as large as a strawberry, and the
scabS came off and left the place entirely
raw. Having fear of a cancer began to

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR.

We have said goodby to 1889 and
greeted 1890 with hearty good morn
ing. May we walk together in peace and
happiness. The new year is stranger
to all Of our readers We know not
. what 1t has in store for us. 1t is well
not to know. If some who read these
lines could push aside the veil and see
sorrows that will darken hearts and
homes during the present year they
would be perfectly overwhelmed. Let
US trust the mercy that hides the future
from us and teaches us to walk by faith.
There is promise in an old Book
that runs somewhat like this: GAS thy
day isthy strength shall be :" We are
prone to ask the New Year how he
will treat US. The answer comes back,
"Life is what you make it,
"Happy New Year" has passed from
friend to friend. Did.you mean it? If
so, what are you going to do to bring
a happy new year to those whom you
wished it and the many who will need
it? If we would have cheerful birds
singing songs of peace, joy, happiness
and contentment in our hearts--thus
gliding and blessing the days and weeks
and months of 1890 we must leave
all Of murmuring complaint and
selfshnees in the depths and darkness
of 1889. To make the new year a hap
Ply one to ourselves and others We must
close the gates on prejudice, envy,
jealousy, malice, evil thinking and evil
speaking, with nothing but a gracious
enter the portals CT the new
year. Let us dispense our happiness.

doing good.-SnfoK Herald.

THE NORTH STATE PRESS.

Taking in consideration the larg,
per cent. of illiteracy in North Car
DINA, no State in the Union is bette
equipped in the way of newspapers ane
periodicals. Every section has its owl
paper, which is published purely in thu
interest of the people Of the locality il
which 1t is gotten out; and regardless:
of political sentiments, is always {
strong factor in the promotion of those
educationaland industrial! interests that
tend to educate, refine and materially
advace the community.
We desire to call attention to a few
of the leading papers Of the State and
their excellence of parts, in which they
might be considerd leaders, and trust
those brethren of the press who are not
included in the list will take no offence,
as we are not sufficiently acquainted
with all to comment, but feel that
every paper in North Carolina is doing
its full duty and great deal more
than can be justly demanded by its
patrons.
In our judgment the following pa
pers excel in points named: The Ashe-
vile Citizen stands at the head in edito-
rial work; they show depth of thought
and profound learning; the Whining
ton Messenger, in indomitabie energy,
pluck and determination, as we'll as
excelling in metropolitan appearance,
and would join the FIJI Islanders in
the establishment of a paper among
them if snch project was desired; the
M01ning Star in editorial witticisms,
State news and freeness from typograph-
icalerrors, together with maratime news;
the Charlotte Chronicle, in Geographic
service, lowness Of subscription price
and get up of advertiseme nts; the
Durham Globe, (now defunct) in neat
ness of appearance, good local news,
egotism and sensation; the Meas and
Observer, in correspondence, Dem
ocratic work and slovenness of appear
ance, (Which should bring shame to
the Democrats ofthe State) the State>
vile Landmark, in good common
sense and fearlessness =; the North State
in administration kicking, neatness of
and firm support of the
Press Association the State
Chronicle, for good-all around patron
age, variety of news and adherin g
closely to the buttered side of the
bread; the Wilson MI rror, sublime

convention are probably indicated by the
plan of suffrage submitted to-day by
Judge Randall of Vieksburg who was
chief justice of MIssisslppI under Repub-
lican rule. Judge Randall's plan
provides az qualification for voters q
residence of two years in the state, one
year in the county and the payment of q
poll tax. 1t also prescribes the Austral-
ian system as the method under which all
elections shall be held.
The most important business yet trans
acted by the convention was the passage
of resolution providing that the judi
oiarY committee be requested to
make special report to the
convention at as early day as
possible upon the effect of the act
of congress readmittiug Mississippi in the
Union, limiting the right of Mississippi
TO impose certain restrictions upon the
right of franchise and otherwise prohIb-
iting the state from changing the consti-
tuition of the state of Mississippi adopted
IN 1869 so far as the act shall
affect the work of the convention.
The judiciary committee is composed
of eighteen lawyers of eminent ability
with Wiley P. Harris, the recognized
head of the profession in this state, as
chairman. Their conclusion will be ac-
cepted by the convention as of the high
est authority, and is awaited with ex-
traordinary Interest.
