Possess a Christian Spirit
durham Sun.l

Already arrows tipped with venom
are being fired at the South because
our people paid a fitting tribute to
Jefferson Davis in the re-interment of
his remains. We trust that every paper
in the South will possess their pens
with Christian fortitude and silently
pass over the names of those who have
their quivers full of such arrows and
their bow ever ready to send them fly
ing at our people.
The New Berne Journal takes the
correct view of the matter when it ad-
vises that we shoot no poisoned arrows
back. That paper says:
With her record safe in the imperish-
able archives of history, the South en-
balms her sacred memories, preserves
her self-respect and looks bravely to the
future.
If the fraternal spirit that has returned
to our beloved country is again to take
it's flight; if discord is to take the place
of harmony if the wheels OF progress are
to be stopped; if patriotism is to be
chilled and liberty grieved, it will not
be the fault of the noble women and
brave men OF the South. Not poisoned
arrow will speed its flight across the
Potomac from this fair Southland.
Ours is an indissOluble union of indis-
tngnishable States, and if the people are
not one i'll sentiment, one in aspirations
and one in destiny, it is not because the
South has failed to bring to the altar OF
our common country the richest gifts OF
patriotism aud affection.
We pay our tributes to Lee, Jackson
and Davis, and We salute the flag OF the
InOn wherever it waves.

EDUCATION.
That is the Need and Hope Of the
Youth of the Land.

A writer in the Rocky Mount
Phoenix says this Of the value and
necessity of educating the rising gener-
alton:
Give our youth education and we
will have population of good, moral
christian citizens, that will be an honor
to their parentage, to their country
and to themselves. But on the other
hand, let them grow up in ignorance,
and we will have population of drunk
ards, thieves and murderers worse
than the untutored savage. Education
elevates. Ignorance degrades.
Look around us where we will, and
we can see the need of higher educa-
ton in every branch of trade. Look
over the doors of the banks, the stores,
the factories, the shops, the churches,
and the schools of our land, and you
can see indelibly inscribed in letters
of brilliant hue, the little word
" Wanted" Look over the door OF
the Capitol of our State and the Legis-
lative Halls, and you can see it there
in letters of gold. 1t is written in
letters of blazing fire on the Dome of
the Nations Capitol. " Wanted" What
is wanted? Men and women. Edu-
Gated men and women. That is
what is needed to fill the various posi-
tionS of life.

Charity Thinketh no Evil.
IWarrentOn Record. |

It's common fault to be quick to at
tribute improper motives for the acts
of our neighbors, without understand
in" the motive which prompted Or the
circumstances which led to the act, and
in this way we are often guilty of doing
our ncighbor very great injustice. The
secret springs of human conduct, and
the compelling. force Of surrounding
circumstances are often hid from the
world, and the safest and most Charlta-
bic course for Us to pursue, is to give a
man credit for good intentions until the
evil ones are fully manifest. Every
man has his good qualities and his
faults. None are perfect. Perfection
does not belong to this sphere of exist
ence. He that expects it will be dis
appointed. 1t is not only the part OF
charity, but our duty, to mark the
good in our neighbors, and not the bad.
Some people are always looking for
defects of character, and of course they
find them. 1t gives them more pleas
urc to criticisc and comment upon the
shortcomings of their neighbors than
it does to commend what is good in
them. Let us learn to note what is
good and overlook what we consider
bad. 1t will be better for us, and
better for the world.

Some Philosophy in This.
IWarrentOn Record

"Laugh, and the world laughs with
you. Weep and you weep alone
There is no truer saying than the
above. If the world believes you are
prosperous it will slap you on the back
and tell you what clever fellow you
are, but if misfortune overtake you the
same world will turn its back upon
you. \ man is fool to be always
bewailing his misfortunes or telling
his troubles. The world cares nothing
tor them and will shed no tears over
them. The ears of the world do not
care to be annoyed with tales of sor-
row, and no sympathy is awakened by
them. The merchant makes mistake
who complains of dull trade. The
citizens of Il town are greatly in their
own light when they speak of the
town, its business, its enterprises or It's
prospects disparagingly. Every man
should stand squarely on his feet, hold
his head up and look the world in the
face, and never whine.

ROCKY MOUNT.
A Thrifty and Progressive Towr

A correspondent writing to the
Wilmington Messenger, says:
Rocky Mount, N. c., is a most pro-
gressive and thrifty place, and is far
in the lead ofall other towns in Eastern
Carolina, out stripped them in the
short space of two years. In the
eighties Rocky Mount was only known
as mere hamlet, and l doubt if it
woul! have been ever known as that
had it not been that railway changes
had to be made here, and the lay
overs were SO monotinous, that it
generally impressed itself very vividly
upon the minds of the unfortunates.
The once sleepy old town is no longer
laggard, but one of the most promi-
nent leaders the sister towns acknowl-
edge. 1t only needs few more years
OF its present thrittiness to make it the
most popular, promising, and promi-
nent town in the State. The natural
advantages ofthe place are unsurpassed,
possessing one of the finest water
powers in the South, it's more than
natural that large manufacturing en-
terprlses should occupy it. The Rocky
Mount cotton mills which occupy the
site, are at present the largest in the
State, and when the new additions are
completed it will be the largest in the
South. The lands in this vicinity are
unsurpassed for fertility, and are we'll
adapted to Diversified crops. The
finest golden leaf tobacco in the world
comes from this immediate vicinity
there are hundreds of acres of the
farms in this section of the State being
planted in the weed, almost to the
entire exclusion of cotton, as it has
proved SO much more profitable to
the planter.
Owing to the immense amount OF
tobacco raised in this section, number
of Rocky Mounts wideawake citizens,
decided that this was the place for a
tobacco market, and to this end in
1888 the first warehouse which al
though small affair, sold about 900,
900 pounds that year, since that time
although it has been through many
trials and tribulations the maket has
developed far beyond the expectations
of the most sanguine promoter. During
the season Of 1891 ending September
1st, 1892, there had been marketed
over 100000 pounds, and if the
increase continues this market will
reach the high water mark of 10,
100000 pounds, making it one of
the leading markets of the South
There are now three mammoth lea
warehouses, and fifteen prizeries, with
several more under contract.
