COMMENCEMENT AT BY
RUNS SCHOOL HOUSE.

Saturday last, will long be re
melnDered Ly the many specta-
tors who witnessed the closing
exercises Of the public school at
Byrum's School House, taught
by our Young divine G.W.White
The people began 10 arrive at 8
pm. and continued to come until
the house was packed to over
flowing. When at 7 O'Clock the
curtains rolled back exhibiting
OIL the stage twenty beautiful
girls who sang the beautiful song
correcting Glee," after which the
audience was favored with an
able address by our much esteen-
ed citizen w. B. FELTON,. Then
for an hour and a half the STU
dents held the audience spell
bound by their Rotations, songs
and dialogues: acting their parts
grand and noble, while at con-
Ven1ent intervals It was exec ding
ly grand to hear the sweet strains
of music penetrating the atnos-
pllere, played by Mr.. Thomas
Hunter, of Chapel Hill. Then
came an address by Rev. J.Tynch
showing the easy access of OBJ
tanning an education now to
what it was in colonial times.
The curtains again rolled back
exhibiting most of the school up
Oh the stage who sang the beauti-
full song Farewell, beloved
friends Farewell. " Then to the
sadness of our hearts we had to
turn our backs upon scenes SO
much fraught with pleasure to
seek much needed repose.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.


Huuting's circus and 1nenagerie
keeps up its record and pleased
packed houses, both afternoon and
night yesterday. Mr.. Hunting S
show is much bigger and better
than ever and is growing SO every
year and his show is a favorite
here, and he can look for packed
tents whenever he comes here.
A particular pleasing feature of
Mr.. Hunting's shows is the entire
absence of all followers and gam
blers, and ladies and children IN
escorted are always accorded
courteous treatment at his show.

LAWLESSNESS AND CRIME

There is in this great land of
the free and land of humbugs a
prodigious amount of deVlllsh-
ness, neanness and lawlessness.
The weekly records of crime are
indeed startling. There is a
growth from year to year i'll the
criminal statistics. The courts
are insufficient because the laws
against crime and the proceed
ings of courts are not equal to
the crises. With a jury system
defective. A jury of twelve men is
compelled to agreement, and of
ten Jurors are ignorant, of bad
character, and utterly unfit for
the places they attempt to fill.
Said distinguished lawyer to us
once, speaking of judge: He
does not know enough law to un-
derstand legal argument" How
must it be with the ordinary juror
the fellow with scarcely any
education and no mental training
and not the slightest knowledge
of the laws of evidence or any
other laws? 1t is not surprising
there is an alarming amount Of
crime i'll this country. that it is
increasing, and that human life
is so very cheap.
The lawlessness of the land is
sometimes seen in outbreaks of
workingmen as III Pennsylvania;
in Socialistic and revolutionary
Governors like those of Illinois,
Colorado and Kansas-all origin
ally Republicans we suppose
Then there is another Governor
-Tillman-showing fanatical
and laWless spirit in a Southern
State. This is the "land of the
free" Men construe liberty to
mean license. Then there have
been some disgraceful outbreaks
about politics in New Jersey and
other localities IN the North.
These kick-ups and manifesto
tons of violence are not to be
tolerated or defended. They are
signs of a lowering of the public
sense of right. They indicate the
existance of a spirit OF lawless-
ness much akin to anarchy. It
is among such people that the
seeds of the dynamiter and burner
and assassin take root and bring
forth a dreadful harvest of vio-
1ence and death.-Wil. Messenger.

Her Sister Was BashfuI,

A young man entered the office of the
registrar and asked for license. He had
reached his majority, but when he was
asked the age of his proposed wife, who
by the way, did not call with him, he ap.
peared to be slightly fustered for mo-
ment and then replied, nineteen
His actions excited the suspicious of the
clerk, and he refused to grant the license
until he had seen the girl. The young man
promised to send her in and then left the
office. The next day a young woman bus
tied into the office and inquired, whats
all this talk about my ageP''
The clerk inquired the name and when
he had that information he explained
where the difficulty lay.
Don't I look to be over 1872" she sharp
ly inquired.
There was no denying that She had left
10 several years behind, If appearances
counted for anything, but still the clerk
seemed puzzled. Suddenly he asked:
'How old is your sister,"
''My sister," she repeated, growing red.
Eyes" replied the clerk, following up
the advantage which he saw he had OBJ
tanned. "This is not your name. It's
your sisters NAME You must be over 10,
but she is not. What do you mean by COM
ing in here and representing yourself in
her placer"
well, didn't say she was over 10. I
asked you If did not look to be over 49,"
she said as she perceived that she was
caught In trap which she had set for the
clerk, but which she had sprung for her.
self. Then she broke down and explained
the entire conspiracy There was no reason
why her sister should not have called, ex-
cept that the latter was somewhat bashful,
and as the elder sister was not troubled
in that way she volunteered to get the H.
