Geography Party.

Misses Maggie and Julia Stoke gave q
geography party" at the home of II.
Alex. Stoke last Wednesday evening in
honor Of their cousin, Miss Ella Weav-
er, of Clarion. Forty-fve young people
attended the party, which was a COM
plete success. About the midnight
hour refreshments were served that
would please the most fastidious epicu-
rean. Each person present had some-
thing pinned on them that represented
a city, town, state, river or lake, and a
stick pin was offered as prize to the
person who guessed the highest number
of these. Chas. Feicht carried off the
prize. A fancy pitcher was the prize
for the lady that could do the best
whistling, which was awarded to Miss
Lotta Sutter, and the BOBBY prize-a
whistle-was given to Miss Ella Seeley.
A mustache cup was the prize for the
best sewing by gentleman. Jos Gels
Ter got the cup, and Isaac Swartz got
the BOBBY prize-a thimble and needle.
All who attended speak highly of the
party. Such parties not only furnish
amusement for the young people, but
they become better acquainted with
the country In which they live.

Sunday Law to be Enforced.

A petition signed by one hundred and
fifty citizens was presented to the coun-
Gil on Monday evening, urging Sunday
closing of cigar and tobacco stores and
other places where merchandise is sold
The petitioner referred to the fact that
our wives, sisters and mothers were
greatly interested in beautifying the
town, but said the permanency of all in
stitutions depends upon the faithful OBJ
servance of law, and unless Sabbath
desecration was abolished the improv-
ments of which we were justly proud
would not be permanent, and he, there
fore, urged upon Council the necessity
OF speedy and effective action.-Clear-

Experience Party.

Some time ago the trustees of the M.
T.. church adopted the experience card
pledge TO raise some money TO liquidate
debt they owe. The amounts of the
pledges were fifty cents and one dollar.
Those who took card were to try and
make the amount their card called for
out of the unusual way Of getting money,
and OF course II they could not make IL
In some unusual way they were expect
ed TO pay the amount. The trustees
tried TO get a card TO every member OF
the congregation, and those who could
not be seen personally, the cards we're
mailed to. Last Wednesday evening
was the time set for handing in the
cards and money and telling how the
money was made. Quite a crowd at
tended the meeting. The experiences
of how the money was procured were
amusing. Some husked corn, cut tops
off turnips, wheeled trunks, blackened
shoes, begged, sold bottles, pulled teeth,
built pig pen, sold badges for political
demonstration, sold ice cream, baked
cakes, sold old iron, &C., &c. A number
who have cards did not get out We'd
nesday evening, but the trustees have
their names, and the cards and money
will be received at any time the people
want to give them. The trustees ex-
pect every person who kept their card
to pay the amount IL calls for.

HARSH EPITHLTS.

Some time ago we remember read
ing a short article in Charity and
Children about political epithets. 1t
denounced the habit which some news
papers have of nicknaming and rldicul-
ing political opponents, and advocated
courtesy and politeness in the conduct
of a political campaign just the same
as in ordinary affairs of life.
We have thought that way all along,
and have been advocating from the
first just that very thing. The senti-
ment is growing among the newspaper
fraternity too. Conservative men have
ceased to relish such stuff as some peo-
pie throw out when speaking of their
political adversaries. Courtesy de-
mands that political opponents be
spoken of without the employment of
discOurteous terms.
When Zeb Vance and Judge Settle
made the memorable canvass OF North
Carolina in 1876, they made it on the
very best Of terms. Many a time they
rode to the place appointed in the
same buggy, and treated each other as
gentlemen should. No harsh names
were called, and the very best of feel
ing prevailed between these two
political giants
But now that day seems to have
departed. The good old days when
campaigns we're conducted without
spite, ribaldry, or SANDER seem to be
things of the lamented past, and now
the speaker or newspaper that can
have the greatest number of little
spiteful sayings is considered by many
as particularly bright. Marion Butler
by a euphonic change becomes Mary
Ann Butler; PETER becomes Whiskeys
by the same process of vituperation
Mrs. Lease becomes Old Gal; and
other silly and offensive epithets are
INDUCED in by thoughtless quill drivers
That is unnecessary and unjust. 1t i:
unjust to North Carolina journalism
because it is making name for Demo
cratic editors that the rank and file O
them do not deserve
In our opinion the time has come
for such abuse and ridicule to be laiC
aside. 1t has had its day, and ha
long since served its purpose, if it eve
had one. The dignity and purity Of
the press demand that such villlfyins
be discontinued.
1t is not campaign, or crusade, o
one race against another, but it is ou
brother and our neighbor that is OPP
posing us, and he is conscientious ii
his belief and deserves courtesy from
US. Let this be year of good feeling
campaign wherein every man shall
be considerate to his political foe

SIGAR-TAX DEMOCRATS.

The sugar Democrats sweet tUO,h-
icllows-votcd in a body to put tax
on sugar that rampant sugar organ
of the Democracy admits will put
s17,ooo,ooo in the pockets OF the
Trusts. We believe that the vote was
a huge mistake and will be felt in the
coming campaign. 1t will cost the
people at least S48, ooo,o 900 in taxes by
this vote of Ransom, Jarvis and Others.
They may try to explain their votes
and to show that it is sound Demo
crazy to tax the poor mans sugar he
puts in his coffee and his pies, and
they may show that the Government
will get the money (omlttlng perhaps
to state how much the Sugar Trust
will get but the fact remains, as we
doubt not, that if the Democrats in
North Carolina were allowed to vote
for tax or against tax on sugar, there
could be an overwhelming vote against
taxing. To the poorer, the laborlng
classes, who constitute three-fourths OF
the Democratic voters in this State,
sugar is a common, every day house
hold necessity. When this great class
have to pay 7 cents for what they get
for 5, or 6 cents for what they have
bought for 4, they will not thank the
men who by their votes robbed them
Of this sum and gave a large benefit to
the rascally all-devouring Sugar Trust.
We notice that on the final vote
Jarvis was paired with John Sherman,
but he would have voted for the higher
tax. Let the people approve Of this
tax and they can have no cause OF
complaint as to Ransom and Jarvis
and the other sugar tax magnates the
Democrats elected not to tax sugar a
commodity of life-but to tax the
riches and not the poverty of the land
If the people approve of this tax on
sugar, with the bounty it gives to the
Trust, then they will approve Of the
votes OF their Senator. Possibly they
may perfer Senators from North Caro-
lima who are not sugar tax men. Time
will show.-Nilmington Messenger.

Rosa Andrews, and Miss Mamie Rob-
bins. The musical portion of the pro-
gramme was enthusiastically received.
and Miss Adelyn Andrews was an
especial favorite. At the conclusion
of the musical programme, Bishop
Fitzgerald delivered the address to the
Alumnae. His speech was full of
anecdote and Renaissance. humor and
pathos, comparison Of the old times
when he was boy with the time in
which we live and move. The Bishop
was born not forty miles from Green's
boro, and the place possesses a local
interest for him. His address was full
of the natural wit that bubbles naturally
from him. On Thursday morning the
class day exercises were held. The
graduating class was composed of the
following young ladies: Misses Carrie
Olivia Allen, Bulus Bag5y, Mariotte
Blake Belts, Lula Carr, Mamie X.
Gulley, Emma Lowrey, Irene Elizabeth
Mitchell, Fannie Gloss Parker, Lillian
Small, Jennie Harrison Watson, Mary
Atkins, Mamie B. Baxter, Mary
Oliver Black, Elizabeth Davis, Sudie
Hunt, Edna McCrary, Nellie East
wood Page, Maggie Eula Poindexter,
Nellie Spence, Carrie Webster. Miss
Parker was valedictorian and Miss
Small was salutatorian. Miss McCrary
read the language essay.
Senator Jarvis delivered the Literary
Address at the conclusion of the class
exercises. His subject was "To-Day."
His speech abonnded in imagery and
was such an effort as might have been
expected from our junior Senator.
Thursday evening witnessed the
occasion of the annual concert, always
a time of interest at this school. The
programme was of a much higher grade
than is usually found. Two numbers,
vocal solos, deserve especial mention.
The solo by Miss Lola Miller McKin-
ner, Chow Could l Fain Have Slum-
bered,'' and the solo of Miss Jennie
Harrison Watson, " Ernani, Fly With
Me-" were gems. These two young
ladies have fine voices and will doubt
less be heard from hereafter. Secretary
Hoke Smith, Mrs. Smith and their
little daughter were on the stage. Mr.
Smith was called upon for speech.
He addressed the young ladies on very
much the same line he pursued in his
speech at Chapel Hill, urging them to
raise the Old North State to higher
educational and moral plane. His
speech was received with much ap.
plause.
Thus closed probably the most sue
cessful session, in the history of the
college, and certainly the best com.
mencement it ever afforded.

THE REPEAL DENIED.

AS we thought would be the result
the repeal of the State Bank unconsti-
tutional and injurious tax was easily
defeated. The South needs this repeal
of a tax which good lawyers pronounce
unconstitutional, but the National
business men and the big capitalists
carried the day. The South has few
friends among the Northern news
papers, and although the Democrats in
their law require the repeal men elected
as such turned their backs upon the
law and gave the South another blow.
1t is very plain that from Baltimore
up farther North the South will never
find many friends to give it what is
best for it to have. They will push it
to the wall with grinding tariff and
refuse enlarged and much needed
banking facilities and more currency :;
but they will not lift hand to give
the South any measure of relief it may
seek. When it knocks at the door of
the Congress and asks for bread it will
only have hurled at it in contempt
stones and brickbats, some of them
hurled by fellows following the Demo-
cratic banner, but who ought really to
be at home helping to keep the Repub-
licans in offce.-Wilmington Mes

ONE of the hopeful signs of the
times in North Carolina is the grow
ing sentiment in favor of better roads.
There is an awakening on the subject.
Quite number of the counties, at the
meetings of the magistrates and COM
missioners last Monday, took steps
looking to the working of their con-
victs on their public highways. In no
direction is education progressing
more rapidly in North Carolina than
in this. The people are seeing that
bad roads are costing them too much.
If the sentiment of this subject now
existing in the State is made effective,
the State will in ten years be trans
formed. Hon. Hoke Smith truly said
at Greensboro the other night that in
educational progress North Carolina
is leading the South. So also is she in
manufacturing enterprise and in i'm
provement in agricultural methods
What her people should strive for is
that in all the different departments of
human endeavor she shall be the first
in all the Southern sisterhood. Char

Especial Correspondence.

GREENSBORO, Y. c., June Sth.-
Greensboro has just emerged from
another commencement as brilliant as
has been held. That famous old insti-
tuition, Greensboro Female College.
has taken on new life under the
management of Rev. F. L. Reid.
This year two Bishops, the Secretary
OF the Interior and a United States
Senator were the drawing cards. The
commencement proper began on We'd
nesday morning, Bishop Hargrove
delivering the sermon to the graduating
class, taking his text from Proverbs
- Her price is far above rubies." His
sermon was magnificent effort, and
was entirely suited to the occasion. At
times he rose to heights of eloouence
that were sublime. He charmed the
large audience that gathered to hear
him.
On Wednesday evening was held the
reunion of the Alumnae. The nro-
gramme for the evening includjno
selections Of vocal and instrumental
music and was carried out BY the
Alumnae of the College. Among those
who sang were Misses Adelyn and
