THE MILITARY SCHOOL,

TIE DEMOCRAT plan for raising
money for a military school, as set
forth two weeks ego, meets with
general approval,
By calculation it will he seen that
$1,000 worth Of bonds can be issued
and redeemed within ten years with
on, raising the taxes Of the town
above the constitutional limit, Sc Z
cents on the 500 worth.
This will be amply sufficient to
redeem the bonds, and the bonds
can he readily sold. Every one with
whom we we have spoken On The
subject favors it. The Legislature
will be asked to pass an act allowing
the people Of Scotland Neck to ex'
ercise their wishes in the matter ty
vote: and we have no doubt that the
practical good sense which has all
the while characterized our people,
will prevail il this matter.
Indeed we do not anticipate any
opposition. The measure will be
discussed IN these columns from
time to time.

THE NEW YEAR,

While we have no fountains OF
tears to ehcd for the old year and its
memories, as perhaps maDy others
have: vet it is Citing to day, rs we
p4gs another mile post In the race Of
life. 10 cast glance backward at
the scenes Of the past gear and to
look ahead to what the new year
shall unfold TO Is.
In the great mass add millions OF
humanity over which kind Provj-
dence has so graciously watched
through the old year, not one of Us
has been so small as to escape his
e2ecial notice. Truly we 'are OF
more value than many sparro"s;
and it is fitting to-day that we all
acknowledge to our God the great
debt of gratitude under which HIS
watch-caro has placed Us, and ask
Ills guidance in all things for the
days Of the years TO come.
Some Of us perhaps grieve over
the old scar and its experiences and
would gladly forget them forever;
while others cling TO the memories OF
by-gone pleasures which can never
more be enjoyed.
It is we'll that it is so. There are
charms in both the old and the new
year that call forth tender cmotione,
and that measure with the heart,
thobs Of every soul. This Is beautl
fully expressed by Father Ryan in
'Thc Old year and the New
And why not so?
Tue cid, old years,
They knew and they know
All our hopes and fears;
We walked by their side, and We told
them each grief,
And they kissed of our tears while
they whispered relief;
and the stores OF hearts that may not
be revealed,
in the hearts of the dead years are
buried and sealed.
Vac bright New Year,
Ger all the earth
With song and cheer
They will hail thy birth;
TGey will trust thy words in single
hour,
They viii love thy face, they will laud
thy power;
For the New has charms which the Old
has not,
And the Strangers face makes the
Friends forgot"

THE INSANE ASYLU VI.

We have before us the biennial
report Of the North Carolina Insane
Asylum, term ending NOv.30tb, 1890.
The report extends over the whole
two years, only fifteen months of
which have been under the manage
ment of the present Superintendent,
Dr.. X. r. Wood.
We have read every line of DR..
Woods report, and it shows that ne
is abreast of the times both as
regards the present workings Of the
institution and also in recommended
ton for needed improvements.
Notwithstanding DR.. Wood took
charge Of the work under very
trying circumstances, his course
must be quite satisfactory to the
Board of Directors, the Legislature
and the people Of North Carolina
The report shows the number of
admissions during the two years
from Nov. 80, '8S to Nov. so, 80 to
be 1853. There are now in the insti-
tuition 264.
Since the opening of the Asylum
Feb. p, 1886, to Nov. 80, 1890,
there have been 2,140 patients ad-
mitted.
More room is asked for IN order
that the inmates may be better and
more comfortably provided for.
Dr.. Wood outlines a system of
cottages and plats of ground where
the able bodied insane might labor
for health and recreation. His
plans are beautiful III conception
and we do not see any reason why
they may not be cOnsummated IN
the future.
Separation Of the criminal insane
from the other inmates is wisely
recommended. Other progressive
improvements are recommended.
No Mechanical restraints have
been imposed under present man
agement, but the institution has
been conducted so as to make it
more of a home than a prison for
the poor unfortunateS that live
there.
At the end of the fiscal year
Nov, 80, 1889, there was q balance
against the institution Of more than
three Thousand dollars. This has
been paid, and the Stewards report
shows a profit of 1866 from the
garden and farm operations of this
year.
Altogether the report is quite
gratifying and does the Superinten-
dent great credit. HE DEMOCRAT

1t is much the same xay In all other

we need such technical schools in
which our boys may be trained for
