The Duty OF the Press.
Cor Charlotte Chronicle. J

(COr Charlotte Chronlcle.}
The press of the State has lately taken
somewhat to the work Of self examina
we'll and strong when it says that the n
G. newspapers are greatly lacking in
"proper discrimination The average
N. G. journal is usually on one extreme
or the other; if serious, there Is q strain
ed effort at the IMPRESSION and every
thing is ''great and glorious, or it is
sensationally small and frivolous. and
then all ''slang and non sense" There
in painfully absent the simple statement
of fact, the clear basis of truth and
the conciseness and force of logic.
Language seems to be used mainly Q
conceal thought.
Now to my mind this is easily explain
ed. The average North Carolinian is
social and genial and depends largely
for life and enjoyment on the feeling
and sympthy OF association. There are
no great interests Or pursuits to invite OF
force self-reliance or self effort. We
are State of easy and able imitators
The large cities North and South of US
and the party strife at Washington
furnishes the cheap pabaulum of sorry
imitation. Hence a rag of an editor once
stated that of the 800 copies Of certain
n. G. Daily 8 tenths Of each issue were
extracts or references touching ON city
life or party politics, and only on entirely
original idea.
The people are alive and the masses
are, in their way, trying to move ahead.
Bnt they sadly need business and indust-
rial leading. Let North Carolina papers
lead Of and do their duty.

THE COTTON TAX.

The CHRONICLE never did believe that
the direct land tax ought to be refunded
to the people who paid it. But if the
government is going into the business of
returning the money collected from the
people for extraordinary purposes, there
is more reason why the cotton tax should
be refunded than any other. 1t was a
tax paid wholly by cne section, and the
Supreme Court has long ago decided
that it was an unconstitutional tax.
SENATORS RANSOM and VANCE sought to
add this tax as an amendment to the act
refunding the Direct Land Tax, but the
Republicans couldn't stand to let SO
much money come into the South this
way any more than through the BLAIR
bill. The total amount of the cotton
tax collected was 500, 600, 900, and of
that amount North Carolina paid 81,

A negro named Haywood McAdams
was brought here Monday and placed in
Jail. He was charged with committing
an outrage on a little girl, between 6
and years old, child of 4r. J. T. Long,
living between Haw River and Mebane.
The case was heard before Esq. G. Sell
ers, who com nitted the wretch to Jail to
await the action of the Superior Court.
The brutal deed is alleged to have been
done last Friday. It is an awful crime
to be committed in civilized commu-
nifty, and if the allegations are support
ed, speedy justice will be meeted out to
the rapist at the May term of Alamance

STUDENTS, ,PERILOUss SITUATION
They Were Rescued When the Water
Reached Their Necks.


tFrom Richmond Dispatchl
CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 14.-Seven
students of the school at Parmersville,
Stanley county, went to the Yadkin last
Saturday to enjoy day fishing. They
got boat and landed on little rocky
island about mile above the narrows
By some accident the boat got adrift ;;nd
passed through the narrows, leaving the
boys high and dry on the rocks. Shortly
after that the river began to rise rapidly,
and several of the boys attempted to
swim ashore but had to return. They
spent the night on the rocks, and by
morning the water had risen to their
waists.
Sunday morning hundreds of people
corgregated on the banks and watched
with anxiety the periious situation of the
boys.
Finally with great difficulty boat was
found and the rescue made when the
river had reached their necks. In five
minutes more they would have been
washed from their moorings. Each was
clinging to the other for support. In
this condition the result can easily be
understood had not the boat arrived
just when it did.

THE DUTY OF THE PRESS.

Wepublish in another column from the
pen of GENERAL RUFUS BARR1NGER, if we
are not mistaken, an article on ''The
Duty Of the Press"
There is no doubt about the fact that
editors in this, as we'll as other States,
are wanting in proper discrimination,
and that all of US ought to mend our
ways in this respect, and that more at
tention ought 10 be paid to industrial
news and business progress rather than
to politics Bat the people are as much
to blame as the newspapers. They do
not properly support their newspapers,
and editors are driver to double work in
order to make both ends meet
Let us illustrate: ''Lass year prom
inent man died and North Carolina edi-
tor wrote an extended and laudatory
obituary. A friend asked: "Did you
not rather give Hon. ---- too
much commentator in your ,tcle?'
The editor replied Eyes; upon reflection,
1 think did, but I had to write under
such pressure that did not have time
for reflection. It takes time t, write
discriminating article and to weigh ones
words. I did not have the time and my
hasty article was fuller of praise than
would have made it if I could have
taken a single hour to write it. But
there We're other matters pressing upon
me and I had to send the copy to the
printers sheet by sheet without time for
r.. son.
81, Is the experience of ali, aud while
it does not justify the overdrawn obitu-
ary it certainly is to be weighed iu ex-
tenuation of the offence. In a metro
politan Office, man is detailed for such
work and while he writes hastily he is
not required to do but one thing at
time.
But, while the over-work may be plead
in exte nuation of some of the over-praise,
it is not an excuse, and for one this
editor is willing to make his public con-
fession of errinR, and is glad to recei We,
as he hopes to profit by, the wise advice
of his venerable friend. The CHRONICLE
seeks every day to become more and
more a medium through which the in
dustrial advancement Of the State may
BECOME known.
