The Manufacturers Pero,a OF
Baltimore has established an office in
London, having recently sent over a
member of its staff for that pourpose.
This step is brought about by the con-
tinued growth of British interests in
Southern investments and the COnse-
quent expansion of the circulation and
influence of the Manufacturers Rec
ord in Great Britain. By means OF
its London connection English inves-
tors will be kept more thoroughly in
| formed as to the resources, the invest
ment opportunities, and the progress
of development, in the South, while
the South will be enabled to keep in
touch with financial London. Eng
lish investors, fnanciers on the one
hand, and the owners of Southern
properties and the projectors of South
ern undertakings on the other, will
be brought into closer contact anC
made better acquainted.

tips on lead pencils is the tip-topper
of the lot. He has realized cool

ONE very gratifying and encour-
aging sign for North Carolina is the
growing interest in behalf of higher
education. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that all the leading schools have open
ed with increased attendance this fall
This is true we believe of the female
as well as the male schools. The Uni
versity, Wake Forest, Trinity, David
son College and others enter upon an
other term under most fattcring
auspices.

The Republican leaders look with
great favor upon the Third party
movement or anything calculated TO
break the solid South. They have
no SPECIAL love for the Farmers ALI
ance but a paticular hatred for the
Democratic party, hence they hope
to see it split up and disintegrated as
party organization, knowing that Will
mean Republican success and supre-
macy. The Newton Enterprise states
the case when it says:
We had a talk with a bright young
Republican on the train a short time
ago, who told us the Republicans are
confident of carrying North Carolina
next year, on account of the split thai
seems so imminent in the Democratic
party. He said they expected to put
out ticket of young men, and dc
not expect to lose a vote on account
of the negroes who have gone into the
Alliance. If a third party be formed
they expect it to be made up entirely
of former Democrats, which will make
their election sure.

for whom We entertain higher regard
than tie scholarly and accomplished

SO we were pleased when Capt. Aahe

The celebrated humorest Bill Nye,
has been spending some time with
his family about Ashevile the past
summer. He was there once before
and in his own peculiar style wrote
about the climate and things in general,
in a way the people did not like much.
But instead of doing their town and
section harm it proved a benefit.
Everybody understood Bill Nye, and
his articles were big advertisements.
He has been writing again we see.
The Asheville Democrat says:
Bill Nye has long article in the
New York WorH on Buncombe. Be
sides the bad road from Asheville to
Skyland he has been unfortunate in
coming in contact, somewhere, with
a thrid-rate lunch house, feas and
wood ticks. He does not seem to
like either of these luxuries. Our
advice to Bill is to keep out of bad
company when he visits Ashevillc, and
he will be happier

HENRY BLoUNT, the poetic genius
Of the Wilson Mirror, has stopped
"curling' adjetives about pretty
women long enough to say this about
the base ball curve:
The pitcher had little bali, and
it was white as snow, and where the
striker thought it was the ball it
wouldn't 60. 1t had a sudden in
shoot curve, it has fearful drop, and
wien the striker wildly struck, that
ball it didn't stop. Why does the ball
fool strikers so ?" the children all did
cry. 1.-The pitcher twists the ball,
you know" the teacher did reply.

WE have always had very high
regard for Brother Thomas, of the
Louisburg Times, and if anything had
been lacking to cause such certainly
it has been supplied in the honest and
manly way he talks. There is nothing
Of tine sycophant or demagogue about
him. He says:
If the Times is required, in order
to swell its subscription list, to advo-
cate those principles which its editor
does not believe are for the best inter
ests of the people, the list will remain
as it is. We are not yet ready to run
off after false gods and teachers who

lieve is for the good of the people
