Death e. Judge Davis.

Judge Joseph j. Davis, Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme
court of North Carolina, died at
his home in Louisburg, Sunday
night at 10 o'clock. He was Ga
years of age.
This announcement will carry
sorrow to thousands OF hearts
throughout the State. He was
a pure man; and upright man; q
Just man; and one who added
lustre to the history of North
Carolina.
As a writer in the News-Ob-
server says: Of his skill as a
lawyer, his thirty years ex-
perience and position in the
front rank Of the bar leave no.
thing to be said. His learning
as a Judge is shown through
out the last fifteen volumes of
the n. G. Reports and needs no
encomiums-Itspeaks for itself.
He was a consistent member
Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church His health had been
failing for about three years,
and his death was not unexpect-
ed.
Thus passed away a man who
was loved and admired not only
by the citizens of his county but
by the State at large; a man
who had exemplified by his
daily walk and life the beauties
Of christianity, whose abilities
had attracted and whose purity
had won the loving deyotions Of
his fellow citizens.
As a gallant soldier, as a wise
lawyer, as a sage statesmen, az
an eminent jurists, as an up
right man he was a mode
whose example can be initiated
with advantage by all. Peace
to his ashes.

Horse Breeders Meeting ANA
Races.

Ali the prominent horse breed.
ers and nearly all the owners OF
fine horses in North Carolina
have agreed to meet at Raleigh
on August 18th and 18th, 1892,
for the purpose of inauguratlng
a permanent race programme
for spring, summer and autumn,
and to organize a breeders as.
sociation for the State; and to
this meeting, every citizen IN
the State interested in owning,
breeding or driving the Amerl-
can trotter is cordially invited.
The racing feature of this
meeting will be the very lar
gest. most exciting and inter
esting series of trials of speed
ever known in the State. The
programme was undertaken by
a few gentlemen at their indi-
vidual expense, and they are
greatly gratified, indeed pleas
antIy surprised, at the interest
which has developed in the un
dertaking. Forty-seven horses
have been entered to date, and
there will be as many as eight
starters in some of the races,
which will be made on the two
days named. The increase OF
interest in fine horse breeding
in North Carolina for the past
two years has been phenomenal;
and already there are within
the borders of the State, horses
of international repute. The
splendid race programme FOL
August 18th and 18th is the To-
gical result of this interest
which will receive an immense
impetus at this meeting. The
races will also be a forerunnel
of the race programme to bt
made up for the State Fair. anc
everybody interested in the pos
sibilities of horse flesh will ap
preeiate the advantage of being
able to note what may be &C
complished at the August races
and afterward note any devel
opment at the State Fair trials
The meeting for organizing
the Breeders Association viii
be held on the night of Angus
18th. The races purses are lib
eral for an Introductory meet
ing, and railroad rates for tbs
occasion are unusually low Mr.
Z. H. Lee, of Raleigh will taxi
pleasure IN giving any informa
ton desired.

The Clinton Caucasian, Presi-

call for Third Party convention
of Sampson county, say We re-
greet to see TINS, for in our opinion
it is a mistake. As We said last
week it will divide our people and
we fear, put the next Legislature
IN the hands of the enemies Of the

be gained by defeating the present

lra,a the Richmond Southern Tohact onist.
Up to our lastissue, the South
ern Tobacconist has expressed
very hopeful views of the grow
ing crop, but since the extreme
heat has had the effect of dry
ing up tobaccoin the field, when
it needed rain before, and where
there was a surplus of rain, the
last ten days of 100 TO los de-
grees of heat has been too much
for the continued thrift of to-
bacco. Many of our cores
pondents are tanning down their
remarks on the crop growing
others report a decided change
for the worse. The situation,
taking altogether, is not very
good and not very bad, and
conditions are now below the
crop status of this time last
year. Our readers must recol-
lect that our 1890 repots from
the bright belt were uniformly
good, and SO the crop turned out
to be an excellent one, while in
1891 the crop situation was well
diagnosed and predictions were
strictly verified as to good Bur
leys and Green Rivers in the
West, good darks in Virginia,
aud poor brights in North Caro-
lima and Virginia. we should
also bear in mind that the ex.
tended area of tobacco makes
many and diversified reports

1t il a serious thing to think
of and interests every man who
buys or sells on credit, that
there are five men in New York
who, ut their will, can close up
every bank and business in the
United States at any time.
What is national or bank credit
worth when this is the case!
What's the country's credit
worth with such men, who
merely refrain from running the
country because they don't
choose to do so now! Special
laws have made these men
what they are. The North has
had the special laws, the South
none, or else the South would
have been richer by far, with
even distribution. But for the
peoples unrest and uprising
with voices and votes there
might be now a railroad.madC

lieve that the day Is not far dis
tant when there will be a great
change wrought suddenly .or 81
Iently. The depression upon
the poor people has been long
and will reach a point beyonC
which there will be no endu
rance. Every business in the
United States, we say, can b.
stopped in a day by the will o.
a few men, everybody knows
1t is merely their will that thcJ

.Did it ever occur to you, said Il Wet
Point graduate and national guai..s-
man the other day. what it means to be
q popular officer in the national guard?
Something quite different, l assure you.
from being popular officer in the regn-
lar army. Why? For this reason: In
the army, if an officer takes care of his
men, sees that they get their clothing
and pay promptly. looks out for their in
terests in case they are so unfortunate
as to be locked up in the guardhouse,
no matter how strict a disciplinarian he
may be. or how he may make the men
stand around, he will be popular with
them. But here in the guard the rela-,
tionship between officer and men is en-
tirely changed The rank and file, who
are men that need no supervision of their
personal affairs, expect their officers to
be good fellows socially.
San officer need not be strict disci-
plinarian to be very popular. but it is
only fair to say that the majority of ma
tional guard officers, especially i'll some
Of our crack commands, have just as
thorough an understanding of military
requirements as regular army officers.
Everything else being equal, therefore.
the popularity Of the men may be COM
pared as that of a man among employees
or among his club equals. 81 mention
these facts to show how easily a regular
army officer could full to succeed in tho
guard. and. vice versa, how impossibleit
would be for guard officer, whose easy
going society ways are an essential part
OF his success in his rank, to make
name for himself in the army."-Brook-
