WHERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN.

The young men are the glory Of
the nation and the hope of the future.
Their character of to-day determines
largely what will be their cha racter
in the tomorrow of our history-whst
our homes are to be and what our
churches are to become. To make
them noble and strong to-day, and
the bright promise of the nations
future, we must remove the pitfalls
from before their feet and close the
doors of shame, dishonor and death
that open alluringly before them.
Where are our young men to-day
and what are they in character? In
Washington are 3o,ooo'young men, but
less than 5000 of them are members
of the churches. On single eve ming
168 young men entered ten church
prayer meetings, and the same evening
in one hour 365 entered ten of the
one thousand saloons licensed by our
government under the shadow of the
capitol. In a city of 1900, 1921
young men entered forty-nine saloons
in one hour, and in another city of
$4,000, 600 young men were found
in seven Of twenty-eight saloons on
one evening. In Leadville, Colorado,
on recent Sunday evening, $50
young men attended eight churches
and 1900 entered six of the seventy
six saloons ofthe city. In Providence,
R. l., on an evening not long since,
354 young men entered five of the
one hundred saloons of the city in
two hours. Evansville, Ind, has 81
saloons, and on a recent Saturday
afternoon 45o young men entered
four of these saloons in two hours.
In Carlisle, Pa, in three hours on a
certain evening 1858 young men
entered eleven saloons.
Our young men do march in force
towards the doors of the sanctuary,
but in fearful numbers they are march
ing towards the saloon dens of death.
There is no way to save our young
men but by closing the doors of the
saloons. Is it not better that the
saloons should die than the young
men should perish9

Journalism, in its nobler aspects,
is the most influential of all human
avocations. 1t includes the best feat
ures ofthem all if regard be had to
its weighty responsibilities. 1t speaks
on questions OF morality with the
authority of the pulpit; it deals with
questions of public wrongs and rights
with all the power of the forum; it
treats the grave question of national
and domestic politics with the wisdom
of the statesman; it engages itself In
public enlightenment, with the enthu-
siasm OF the teacher. and instructs
and arouses with the accomplishments
of the scholar. All events, it should
be able to do so; that is the mission it
is assumed to have undertaken. 1t
is noble and self-sacrificing mission.
The pecunlary rewards are niggardly;
its hOnOrs are evanescent.
The rewards come not in money,
only to very few; or in official pap,
only to another few. They come not
in acknowledged influence or wide
applause. The labors of twenty or
ten years ago, or even of last month
are really forgotten in tie eager
demands of to-day. What is written
is read and forgotten as quickly, as
our friend says. He quotes from an
English writer who shows how ephem
eral is journalism however excellent
it may be-that it "dies as soon as it
is born and yet he AYERS that in the
columns of newspapers sometimes there
is an "essay or leading article worthy
of place among the English classic. "
But fleeting, transitory, unsubstantlal
as are the journalistic productions they
do not die tongueless and without
making sign. They are potent fac
tors often in creating opinion or
indicating the current of sober action
Or instilling the tempest of passion.
Once more, quoting the words of our
essayist, near his close:
"The editor may have lost his re-
compense. But there is not thistle
down that floats away idly upon the
breeze that does not somewhere find
its Judgement and termination. There
is not type that expresses thought
or Eliminates an idea that does not
fix itself in some mind and develop
into some future act. If the conductors
of the press do not realize immediate
and direct fruit from their labors, they
may feel sure they are not thrown
away. Every type makes its imprint
upon some brain or upon some heart
maret alta mente rebostam, never to
be effaced, whether it be of good or
whether it be of evil"
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1891-04-23

1t is seen that in the three decades,
from 1900 to 1890, during a part of
which time the slave trade was in
progress, has the colored race increased
more rapidly than the white. Since
1890 the whites have steadily increased
more readily than the colored people,
This increase has not been affected by
the aid of immigration, for, with the
exception of Kansas and Missouri, these
States have received comparatively few
emigrants, either from foreign coun-
tries or from Northern States.
Similarly the proportion of colored
inhabitants to the white increased
somewhat between 1900 and 1890, but
since that time it has steadily dimin-
ished. In 1890, when the proportion
was at its maximum, there were nearly
six colored inhabitants to ten white,
but this proportion has been reduced
to trihe more than four at the present
date, or by nearly one-third of its
amount.
The DEFICIENCIES of the ninth census,
says Superintendent Porter, are so ap-
parent in this table that any extended
reference to them is wholly unnecessary.
The following table gives the present
white and colored population of the
several States under consideration:

AN IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARY.
[Pittsboro Record, April 9th.

To-day is the 26th anniversary
of one of the most important and
memorable events in American history.
Yes, twenty six years ago to-day
the Army of Northern Virginia was
surrenderd at Appomattox Court
House, and this virtually ended our
terrible civil war. Although so long
time has elapsed since then-over
quarter of a century-yet the stirring
incidents of that ever memorable event
are as fresh in our mind and as dis
tinctly remembered as if they had
occurred yesterday. The lapse of time,
however, is made most painfully ap-
parent when we think of the vast num-
Der of the participants in that event
who have since died. Indeed, nearly
all the principal ones have passed
away, and as the years roll by the
survivors become fewer and fewer. A
new generation has grown up since
then, and men then unborn are now
taking an active part in the drama of
life, and in few more years, they
will regard as rare relics the old sur
vivors of Lees surrender, and will look
upon that event somewhat as we now
look back upon the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown.
There are some facts connected
with the surrender at Appomatox that
should ever be proudly remembered
by North Carolinians, and which
cannot be too often repeated or too
deeply impressed upon the minds of
the rising generation. These facts so
grandly and forcibly illustrate not only
the valor of North Carolina's soldiers
(Which was exhibited on every battle
field of the war;, but also their patient
endurance i'll adversely and their
unwavering devotion to duty, even
when all hope of success had fed.
North Carolinians can proudly boast
that one oftheir fellow citizens-Major-
General Bryan Grimes-planned the
last charge, and,commanded all the
infantry troops, that drove back for
nearly mile the federal forces on
that fateful morning, Immediately
preceding the surrender: and that it
was North {; rolina troops (the brigade
Of Gen. w. R. Cox who there and
then fired the last volley. We know
whereof we write, having been an eye
witness and the bearer of the last order
| carried on the field of battle,

century. An inspection of the tables
makes it evident, says the bulletin, that
there has been no extended northward
movement OF this element since the
time of the civil war. Indeed, with
the exception of the District of Colum-
bia, the border states appear to have
lost rather than gained, and during
the last decade there becomes per-
ceptible southwark movement Of the
colored element from the border states
into those bordering on the gulf, par
ticularly into Mississippi and Arkansas,
where they have increased proportion
ately to the whites. Let the states under
consideration be divided into two
groups. The first comprising Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
Missouri and Kansas, and the second
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
and Arkansas. Now the increase of
whites in the first of these groups from
1880 to 1890 was at the rate of 22 per
cent. while that of the colored element
was but S, 5 per cent. In the second
of these groups the rate of increrse of
the colored was but 1871 per cent. In
the first group the number of colored
tO Ioo. 600 whites diminished between
1880 to 1890, from 26,7o1 to 23,oSS,
or 1876 diminished from SI,456 to
73,61I, or only 90 per cent. There
is, therefore, ia perceptible tendency
southwark ofthe colored people, which,
by no means powerful, has resulted in
