THE BOOK OF THE EAR.

MANY good things have been said
of the Fair, but none better than this
That it was vast work to build the
Exposition, but task of scarcely less
moment to trace its growth, picture it
in all its great magnitude, and point
out the paths along which one must
walk in order to derive the most
advantage from it. This is the work
which Hubert H. Bancroft in his Book
OF the Fair is accomplishing. The
Columbian Exposition is long step
in advance of that held in Paris, four
years ago; the Paris Exposition was
an advance on that presented to the
world during our centenary, and the
Philadelphia Exhibition was superior
to that organized in Vienna, three
years before. And so on, back to the
first worlds fair organized in London
over forty years ago, and back to the
local and the national fairs held in
Europe and the far East centuries ago
the pictures get fainter and smaller,
until we realize what great blessing
it is to live in the nineteenth century
and enjoy the advantages of its broad
civilization. The first chapter of the
Book of the Fair CThe Bancroft
Company Publishers, Auditorium
Building, Chicago, is devoted to
" Fairs of the Past - it is beautifully
illustrated, and is probably the ablest
and most complete account of fairs of
all kinds, from first to last, extant.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Winston WorlH, says: "Several years
ago a man who edited paper in a
town on the Southern border of this
State was found to have another name
than the one he used. In the Detroit
Free Press writer, who signs his
name, makes the charge that the editor
of another North Carolina newspaper
is known here by name other than
his real one" Now, the question is,
Who is the man that wrote the Free

a waiting public desires to know the
facts in the case.

The Lumberton Robesonian, genial
and Jolly Brother w. w. McDiarmid' S
excellent paper, has closed its twenty
fourth volume. We fully endorse the
following from the Wilmington Star
concerning it:
For something over twenty years it
has been under the control and editor
ship of Mr.. McDiarmid, one Of the
most level-headed and progressive
editors in the State, whose ready pen
and industrious effort has put the
R0besonian in the front rank of our
weeklies, position which it has long
and deservedly held. We wish it
many returns of its natal anniversary
and increasing prosperity with each.

WE see it announced from Wash

Henry, Esq, will urge him for the
post of Consul General at Shanghai,
China, made vacant by the death of
Hon. \. D. Jones, of Raleigh. 1t
would seem as if this appointment
should naturally come to North Caro-

Henry say he is the logical candidate.
1t is stated upon what is regarded as
good authority that President Cleve-
land will name him for some good

Anything and everything must
come from the North, or it is not the
best, is not the fin dc seicle, as the
squibling gull nnne have picked up
saying from a trashy socalled novel
of French extraction and * Northern"
production. Your books, your liter
allure, novels, newspapers, magazines,
portraits, paintings, furniture, cloth
ing, groceries (at least nearly one
half,) farming utensils, medicine,
nearly everything, must come from
the North! If not it is not good
enough for you.
What kind of people are you? Why
do you cry out against the people Of
the North? And exclaim that they
have all the money? Are you not as
smart as they? Yea! And even more
SO in all except one thing. You pat
ronize them, but they do not patronize
you. They buy for a pittance of you
and sell it back for dollars. How
can you get rich? Build up your own
homes. Make them beautiful. Buy
your goods of your own home manu-
facturers. Join your neighbors in
raising capital to start mandatory
of any kind, of anything; make
willow baskets, make anything, make
it tile best. If you have not the vim
and enterprise to do it yourself you
just quietly refrain from buying
Northern made goods of any descrip-
ton whatever and demand and buy
only those things that you know are
made in the South.
Then you will see how quick and
magically manufactures of all descrip-
tons will spring into existence around
you. They will come to your door il
you will patronize them. 1t is not all
in a cotton factory. They are needed
of course. But they are started now
and since it is clearly seen how well
and much better they pay down here,
only but for their sending the goods
North to be resold to the people of the
South, they cannot be run away and
will be augmented. Never buy ar
imported article OF any thing or any
article that is or can be manufactured
in your town, county or state or il
the South.
The North has grown rich off of tht
people of the South. You are paying
them still for the unstinted privilege
of allowing them to grow richer

A SWIMMING TANK.
The Storm Formed One in the Grand Trunk
Round House.

The heavy rain of Thursday night caused
large streams of water to run in many of
the streets of Portland In general no
trouble was caused; but in the vicinity of
the Grand Trunk station, at the foot of the
slope of the hill, the accumulation of water
was SO great that the sewers could not
carry it off, 1t ran through the high fence
on Fore street and into the yard where the
round house with it's dozen locomotives
stands. The yard was quilted out in places;
but the greatest change was made inside
the round house, where is the great turn
table with a large circular pit beneath it..
This pit is thirty or forty feet in diameter
and four or five feet deep. The water filled
it completely full, so that when Superin-
tendent Martin arrived in the morning he
found himself the possessor Of swimming
tank ahead even of the, Athletic club S
tank. The water was drained off wit hout
trouble. Little real damage was done by
the flood.
