Miss Miriam May Goldberg writes The
HERALD that of the loo students who
applied for admission to the Normal Col
iege of New York, 600 passed the entrance
examination. Miss Miriam was one of
the successful candidates. She is modest
as regards any credit to herself for pass
ing the difficult examinations and speaks
in the highest terms of the excellent in
struction she received while in the
Twelfth ward school. She thinks her
success is due to the efforts of her teachers
while she attended that school. She is
clever and energetic and deserves all the
honors she may win.

concerning marriage ceremony to be
performed at Logan. It seems that the
Misses Shoebridge went to Logan to visit
some friends and that Messrs. Sheets and
Wells took the same train on their way to
the canyon for few days fishing. An
way reached the conclusion that they
were going to be married and gave his
conclusion to the reporter as a fact. while
nothing was further from the thoughts
of the young people.

For long time THE DtMcC Al
has been convinced t',tt Dn; c:c.;
tons are too frequent. We bye
given our reasons for 80 IN liking
and the question has been discus,
ed somew hat by TIE press OF the
State.
Now that the Legislature is in
session, let the press of lie State
speak out on the subject ma ca
the attention OF our law ma.+TS &c
it.
Let US have the matter 4 .cu>~td
thoroughly and if our elect nns 4 t
too frequent let the Legislature
make provision for changing tie
constitution so that we may nave
then less often.
The opinions OF this pape! have
been gwen several times, and We
give here what some of our e. L.,
tempOrarles have said on tie suit
ject.
The Kinston Free Press recently
said:
"The Scotland Neck DEMOCRAT
and other papers are sg" ting in
favor of u longer presidential ter Il.
1t is great strain on the country
to go through presidential lection
every four years, and it &c IL. 30 u.
it would be better to make the term
six years and have the president in
ELIGIBLE for q second term. If the
Democratic congress VOID take
steps TO pass sucn law We believe
it would be approved by the majority
of the people"
the Roxboro Courier also said
recently editorially the followiag:
''Some Of our newspapers have
been discussing the question Of th.
frequency Of gu: elections. think
tEat they occur too often, and PEI
cialiy SO as regards Cong ess men,
members of tire Legislature snd
county officers. 1t does secm tina,
a term Of four years would o..t he
too long for either Of the above nam
ed. We think that the bue,uess in>
terest Of the country would DO better
served if our National electi.,ns did
not occur oftener than ever sixth
years. There is great diT"rence
OF opinion or this snbjeu, Bat,
taking into consideration the ex-
element, uGrest, and the gee;.t de-
preston of business always caused
b. our elections, we think l. would
be better if they occcred loss fire.,
queht. We can see no good reasoo
why one officer in q county should
be elected for four years another for
only two. We hope some st,ps will
be taken 10 the next Legislature i
