Even the Devil Must Have Harmony in
His Kingdom.

The following pathetic story is
published by the Western Call:
An editor died and slowly wendell
his way to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil saw him and said: "For many
years thu hast borne the blame for
tie many errors the printers made in
the paper. The paper has gone,
alas, for 81 so and the S1.50 has Of
ten failed to come in. The printers
have deviled thee Saturday night for
wages when thou hadst not one cent
to thy name. Men have taken the
paper never paying for it and cursed
thee for not getting out a better.
Thou hast been called dead beat by
the passenger conductors when thou
hast shown thy annual pass 10 envi-
Gus gaze. All these thou hast borne
in silence. thou canst not come in
here" And he fired him away.
"Heaven is his home, and besides, if
we had let him come in here he
would be continually dunning his
delinquent subscribers-for hi is
full Of them, and thus create discord
in my Kingdom"

"A bean nearly three inches long,
from Rev. j. W.Turner's truck gar.
den, has been placed upon our table.

The editor of this paper has ac-
copied an invitation to lecture before
the boys 't' the "A. q M. College on
the subject of Indus rial Education.
Bank Examiner Kitchen paid
Capt. VIM, A. Johnson, cashier of
our bank, high compliment when
here last week. He said that no
cashier in the State had a nealer or
m ore orderly set Of books.
News came to us of a heavy hail
in many places on last Tuesday. At
Mr.. y. H. Williams, in Dismal town
ship, the corn was beaten to the
ground. At Warsaw much damage
was done to strawberries and other
truck. 1t did not hail here.
The butter dish department of
the Carolina Veneer Works is run
ming at full capacity to supply or
ders. The dish made by this facto-
ry will compare with those made at
any other factory in the world, The
bean boxes turned out by this factc-
ry are the neatest, lightest and
strongest we have ever seen. The
sides are made ofveneer instead of
sawed lumber. We saw one of these
hCXes thrown several feet and let
fall on the floor. 1t bounced like a
ball and was not damaged.
"A prominent citizen of Lisbon
township come up a few days since
to congratulate US upon our articles
on gossip. He said however that his
community was happily rid Of such
a blighting curse. He said that gos-
sip could not spread because his
reighbors would not hear it and if
they did that right there it stopped.
That the men and women were not
taken with an itching desire TO run
over to neighbors and tell what
they had heard, with little more
added to it. He said that some time
since there was woman who began
talking about her neighbors, but she
could not get any one to repeat the
vile stuff she peddled out so it never
spread, but each ii ne died right
where she told it. In addition to
that this gossiping woman soon learn
ed that she was not welcome visi
tor. So she had to reform or leave.
This shows that those who tolerate
gossip are nearly as much to blame
as those who gossip.

An Educational Feast.

I Ss1S" oth - p6 mt tsiS AI~AAtdtt-
"Oh, it was just splendid. / have
never seen anything equal 10 it,. ]
enjoyed every minute Of il, isn't
Prof. Alderman just charming? Who
could help being profited and de-
Iighted?''
This is fair sample of the way
those who attended speak Of the In
stitute held here last week, Every
teacher goes home with many of the
cobwebs Of error brushed from HES
brain and with new and wholesome
ideas engendered that will add to
the success of many public school
in this county during the ensuing
year. 1t was almost a crime for a
teacher not to have been here, not
so much for what the teach HEM
SELF missed, but what the hundreds
Of little ignorant childred missed,
whose only chance for proper in
structiOn is from some OF those
teachers who failed to profit them
selves as they should.
Atkins Hall was crowded TO over
flow ing on Thursday night TO hear
the beautiful address of Prof. Alder
derman on North Carolina One
Hundred Years Ago. Itwas indeed
literary treat. Friday was the
popular day of the Institute and in
a certain sense The red-letter day for
popular education. Prof. Alder.
man, ID. b. Nicholson and DR.. B. f.
Mafrable all spoke for popular edu-
cation. Their arguments were not
only charming and convincing, but
we might say simply unansWerable.
Prof. Alderman said that the Legis-
ture had now done about all we
could expect in the way of appro-
priations, and that he thought means
for larger school facilities must be
found ir local option for education.
He said that thu ere was more money
raised in the wOrlo to-day for pOpu-
lar education by this means than by
general appropriations. Mr.. Mich
olson, in closing his remarks, applied
Prof. Alderman's idea to Clinton
and said that the educational status
of the place would never be Iaised
till we down with all factions and
local differences, and raise by local
option taxation the amount to es-
tablish a SchOol-One school grad
ed to suit all of our children. Sor-
ry that we havn't roOIn to give a
full report Of their speeches. We
would give report Of the Institute
work but We're unable to attend only
at odd times each day, but taking
the verdict Of those who did attend
we judge that it was a remarkable
success.
so successfully did Prof. Alder
man present the subject Of public
education and SO thoroughly alive
and in earnest did he seem that We
have heard his name frequently
mentioned to succee ed Major Finger
for Superintendent Of Public In
struction for the State. The State
could make no wiser selection. He
is young, energetic, able and pro-
gressive. If public education could
not be popularized and made efficient
under his superintendent then in
deed it would be failure in North
Carolina. We feel justified in say
ing that Sampson county is for h i'm
now.
