The conversation continued at some

SALEM FEMALE ACADEMY.
Opening of the Ninety-second Session To-
day-Nearly $50 Present.

The Winston Daily Sentinel says: The
ninety second annual session of that hon
ored and popular educational institution,
the Salem Female Academy, was opened
at 10 o'clock this morning.
The opening exercises were held in the
academy chapel and were presided over
by Principal Clewell. Several citizens OF
both towns were present. The chapel
was handsomely decorated with palms
and cut flowers. Short addresses were
made by the principal and Bishop Rond-
thaler. After the singing of several
hymns, Principal Clewell read a list of
the pupils who had been promoted in the
various classes.
Nearly $50 young ladies were present
at the opening. This is a fine showing.
1t gives evidence of the fact that the
academy has not been affected by the So
called hard times" The large atten-
dance means that the people believe in

Lynching In jefferson Parish.

The lynching Of the three negroes
in jefferson parish is to be deeply de-
plored and the continuation of such
deeds cannot but lead to dishonor and
disrepute in our State.
However, we Will not Judge too
harshly because we, who live where
juries can be selected who will do
their duty, cannot fully understand
the condition of things where bribery
and political pull grasps Justice by
the throat and throttles her DEGREES
OF fair play. So while Lynch law is
to be deplored, still we think that the
men who did that must have been
moved to point where endurance
seemed vice, not virtue.

KEEP UP The LICK.

The old saying keep up some ex-

a good rule to this day No one de
sires to trade with dead nor even a
sleepy house, but are always attracted
to those places where hustle and ac-
tivltY seems the order of the day. 1t
is also a safe proposition, that where
energy and activity is the custom the
busiCess is almost sure to be there too.
Now with US it is not necessary to
make any extraordinary move to at
tract trade The time has passed for
that, our goods and prices do all the
talking and hallowing that we need.
Everybody knows who keeps the best
make of engines, boilers, mills, gins:
cutlery, guns, pistols, mechanics
tools, agricultural implements and all
machinery and if you ask

Of course, very gratifying to us, but

express the energy and enterprise of
Mr.. +. Nj. Welsh, of Alexandria. a
real estate man and president of the
Fair Association Of that town.
Mr.. Welsh is certainly hustler.
He is all vim and push, and in order
that the fair, which begins there Oc-

he is around posting up the bills him
self. He has an eye to business and
is using it for all it is worth. The
idea of the president of the associa-
tion posting the bills of the fair is
novel and attractive one and of itself
arouses enthusiasm.
