"THE MOST PROGRESSIVE LEGISLk.
TURE."

The State Chronicle in its re-
view Of the late General Assem-
bly, says:
"The Legislature Of 1891. which
adjourned on Monday, will go
down into history as the most
progressive Legislature ttat has
assembled in North Carolina i'm
this generation. It set on foot
more influences that will bring
material wealth to the State than
any body that has met in Nor tn
Carolina since the blazing era OF
internal improvements which
took possession of our people in
the forties. Many large and
wise appropriations were made,
vet the legislators did not for
get the pressing necessity Of
economy, aud in all its enter
prise and progress. it kept the
appropriations within the limit
OF taxation Of former years, and
did not increase the taxation up
on the people a single cent"
And this was a Farmers Leg
islature Who was it that said
that such a Legislature would
be old-fogy ish, niggardly, plea
yuneish, agrarian, etc.? That
fellow now can't he found. He
has gone into his hole to stay.

Judginn from the expressions
of the press there is quite a
division Of opinion az to the
lynching of tie assassins at
New Orleans. But it seems to
to us that-if there ever was a
time when the people (tlIe max
ers OF law were justified in
taking the law into their own
hands that it was on this ocaa-
sion. 1t seemed that nothing
short Of this popular uprising
to execute Justice would bre ak
up this "Mafia", that terrible
secret society Of outlaws and
and midnight assassins. We
don't believe that Louisiana
will make auy apology to Italy
and we hope the National Gov
erHment will not.

WHAT A NEWSPAPER SHOULD BE.

The Daily State Chronicle,
upon the completion of its first
volume, in a leading editorial,
says:
"The best newspaper is that
which depends for It's success
and growth upon a sturdy devo-
ton to principle, an unyielding
advocacy Of the equality of all
men, and sincere desire 20 ad-
vance the best interests of the
commonwealth in which it is
published. 1t must to these
cardinal principles and its devo-
ton to the people, add sprightli-
ness, directness, and truth-telI-
ing in the preparation of its
news. Its statements of fact
must be accurate, and it must
give these statements the earli-
est moment after occurrence
A paper that has such a con-
ception OF the true sphere of
journalism will be sue to steer
at Lac head Of the profession.

which are fineness Of texture,

ties.
1t might be asked. Is there a
market for ali this stone? Good
brown stone is absolutely scarce.
There are really only two re-
gions in the Uuited States which
have in the past produced it
largely, viz: Portlonc, Conn !,
and HammeIstown, Pa. There
were other small quarries, and
others have been opened, but
the demand is far beyond the
supply. The region around
Carthage is the most southern
point where first-class brown
stone can be found. | sitslll in
u future report proye this. |
have space here only to report
the fact. In 1880 Connecticut
produced 9SS, 200 cubic feet of
stone, which sold at the quarry
at 70 cents per cubic foot. In
1890 The State produced so per
cent more aud sold tat over so
cents per cubic foot at the quar-
ries. In 1880 there was not a
stone house in Atlanta. Chatta
li.oga, Knoxville o. Birining-
ham. Now there are many and
many more are projected and
contracted for.
He then goes Oh to show that
on account of the nearnesS of
this stone to the surface and
the slight dip (only one foot in
six) that the cost of quarrying
per cubic foot will be much less
than at any other known quar-,
ry. While it costs IS cents per
cubic foot at such QUAR- e5, he
estimates that the store in
Moore county can be quarried
for st least II cents per cubic
foot. So North Carolina has
not only the finest broWnstone
but also the richest quarries in
that she sill be able to com
pete successfully on the market
of the world. We are every
day more and more convinced
that not half Of the treasures
and wealth of the Old North
State are yet known. Let our
people arouse themselves and
make creditable exhibits at The
Worlds Exposition, at Chicago,
and especially at the Southern
Industrial exhibit, to b. held
for three months in our State
next fall, and continue to at
tract capital and enterprise to
develop our rich resources
We also look to the Geological
Survey to be conducive Of good
and valuable results in this di.

PEAS.
H. j. Faison thinks the pea
crop a very uncertain and most
expensive one, and advises very
small acreage. His too was the
'-same tale and same woe.,'
j. T. Oliver and r. Kornegay
said they had made little money
on their peas, and that it was a
crop you could o'low with sweet
potatoes to great advantage.
Dr.. [. W. Faison also reported
some success with peas, and
thought the vines properly cur
ed q fine forage.

Maj. J. ;. Hines pronounced
them a fine vegetable and a good
crop, but not very lucrative
one by any means.
Or. j. I'll. Faison said he had
no experience n mark citing po-
tatoes, but thought the seed
should not come in contact with
the manure. That the manure
should be Incorporated in the

DR.. Porter said that to grow a
second crop of potatoes, that
you must plant about the goth
Of August. The culls of first
crop about two inches deep,
manure we'll, and you can grow
very fine potatoes; however,
that the seed should be kept in
the shade, where only the morn
ing and evening sun can reach
them, and by placing them under
the house on the ground they
will keep perfectly sound.

the improvement of Seventh avenue. 1t
is likely hat several Of the aldermen will

been growing in popularity ever since
first introduced before the Improvement
