CAROLINA REPEALED BY THE LEGlS-
LATURE AND no SUBSTITI rEIS

late Legislature, there will be nc
city government unless there is
a provision of law for the pres
ent municipal authorities to hold
over.
This will be a matter for the

SLAUGHTER OF SQUIRES.

A law was passed by the last
Legislation providing for the
election of three additional mag
istrates in each township, their
terms to commence on April 1st,
1895. Few if any OF these mag
istrates have qualified, and they
cannot now do SO. The officers
created are vacant because of the
failure of the persons elected to
qualify before the term began.
The power to appoint nagis-
trates to fill vacancies caused by
failure of those elected to qualify,
is vested in the Governor by
chapters 2SS, Laws of 1895, and
he appoints for the full term of
six years.
1t is too late now for any clerk
to qualify those appointed, and
if they attempt to qualify them
their acts will be illegal.
The failure of the newly elect
ed magistrates to qualify i'll time
rids the people of the burden of
5000 unnecessary magistrates,
and of about So 900 for the pur~
chase of books, etc, for the new
magistrates, which the legisla-
tors intended to spend if they had
known how.
The people will have to thank
the Lord, and not the Legisla
lature. for Kidding them Of this
burden which the Legislature
voted upon them.-Star.

BOLD BURGLE MAN.
HE BREAKS GLASS IN L. S. NORMAN S
STORE WINDOW AND STEALS A
COAT.

Last Sunday night during the
still hours, when the graves
yawn and the ghosts begin to
walk, coiored youth concluded
he needed a new coat, and hav~
ing seen some IN E. S Nornans
show window, promptly broke
the glass and helped himself.
He was arrested Monday morn
ing by Detective Robinson, and
carried to Jail, but, as the place
did not seem to suit his idea of a
place of abode during the sums
mer months and as the officer
loosened his hold on him a mo-
,nent, he took to his heels and
was soon in the woods east of
town.
He came out again Monday
night, but, after lively chase
by the officers, was not captured.

BARREL AND BOX FAC
TORY.

Edenton is the place, of all
others in North Carolina, for a
barrel and box factory-for sew
eral reasons:
First, The large and almost
inexhaustible supply OF timber
precisely fitted for the business.
Its cheapness and the ease with
which it could be handled, being
conveniently located within area
of four or five miles of the town
and i'll sWanps along the naviga-
BILE streams that empty in the
waters on the banks of which
Edenton is located.
Second, Because of the great
demands for kegs and barrels
right at our doors The fisher
men frequently run short of pack
ages and have been unable on
that account to save the fish
caught. In some instances they
have been compelled to allow
their nets to go unhshed rather
than the fish should be taken to
spoil on their hands, being with
out, as they were, the necessary
kegs, barrels, or other packages
in which to pack them. The
fishermen frequently send to Bos-
ton (think Of it, for barrels How
strange! Itlooks like importing
coal for New Castle, bat it IS
true, and, being true, we need not
offer a single argument to show
anyone desiring to make invest
ment in this paying business that
a manufacturing enterprise here
able to keep the demand for kits
kegs, barrels, &c, supplied, Will
pay, and that too abundantly,
The demand for truck barrels
and boxes are also great, and on&
acquainted with or skilled i'll the
business, with sufficient capital
can find no better opening for al
enterprise Of this kind anywhere
in the country.

GENTLE SPRING.

1t is at this season of the year
that poets and other lovers of
nature begin to string their Tyres
for songs of spring gladness.
Spring is new life. 1t shows the
gladness of nature to be free from
the letters of frost, and all nature
smiles. Buds and blossoms come
on the trees, and musical birds
come with them. They are ma
lures orchestra and chorus to
sound the praise of their Greater.
Green and fresh carpets are be.
ing put down on the face of the
earth, and lilies are springing
up to make everybody happier.
Every flower that opens. every
blade of grass that lifts itself
from grovelirg earth, every bird
trills in the tree tops, only moves
and sings to tell OF spring. Il am
the spring. is natures song, and
spring is the life and resurrec-
ton. New life is in the air and
in the sunshine. And yet there
are grumbling men, who grun-
BILE at the spring. They think of
the grippe, and the colds in their
heads; of the rheumatism, and
the spring medicines they must
take. They have a grudge
lagainst spring because the wo-
men want to blossom out with
Ispring gladness, and array them
Iselves with fresh ribbons and
poplins and hats that will har-
monte.
| And then they object to spring
| housekeeping. They do not
like to have all the windows open
land all the beds made for the day
before they get up; and the Win
dow washing and carpet sweep
ing and steps scrubbing and step
| ladder distractions seem to irri-
tate them, and the pickup din
ners and disarranged furniture
incidental to spring cleaning
seems to offend them. Still, not
, wlthstanding these drawbacks
spring is beautiful, and that's
why every living creature anc
thing Except the grumbling
f men) hail it with delight. Would
it were always spring.

Industriallv North Carolina is
growing faster than any State
says the Biblical Reco1aer Every
week we hear of new cotton fac
tories and enlargement of others.
The fact that this growth is not
accompanied with a sudden in
huX Of miscellaneous immigrants
is encouraging. Our factories
will probably be manned with
native labor. 1t will net be so
hard to educate the children of
workers as it would, were they
foreign, or even from other
States.
In the opinion of many. the
time is not far distant when this
State will be the theatre of great
mining enterprises. More gold
than has ever been taken from
California is III our Western hills,
Dat it cannot be mined because
it can be separated from the py-
rites only at great cost. Men are
working now to get a method of
lessenlng the cost Of this process;
and the announcement that they
have succeeded is hopefully looks
ed forward to.
When the State becomes thick
ly populated, the market for our
farm products will be nearer to
the farms, thus making prices
better. When there are enough
factories in North Carolina to
consume our cotton, enough PEG
pie to consume our meal, -four
and meat, this will be the richest
State in the South, and farms
will be worth fortunes. And it
all may come true, if half our
water~power is utilized, and only
beginning is made toward get>
ting the mineral wealth from our
hills.
1t seems that the State is cer>
tain to become thickly populated;
and more thickly than any State
in the South, since it has more
to grow on
With all these things the State
will not go far forward unless ma
tive North Carolinians take the
first steps. If the North Carolina
money that vanished in Virginia
"boom towns" had been put into
North Carolina resources, many
investors would be better off and
our State would be richer. Out
side capital will not come until
it becomes known that North
Carolinians are successfully in>
vesting in the State.
The development of North Car
DINA is the opportunity and the
duty of the young men of North
Carolina.

The Republicans and Silver.

1t must not be supposed. says southern
paper. that the Republicans have no
trouble within their party on the silver
question. The same paper goes
on to say that among the facts
which confront Va Is the pam
one that the Republicans OF Penn
sylyania and the far West are more
seriously divided on the silver question
than are the Democrats Of the East. IL
this be true, II is because the Democrats
OF the East ha~e already pledged their
States TO the cause of sound money. The
Republicans Of the silver States are out
Of line with the Republicans of the East
ern States, Just as the Democrats OF the
silver States are out of line with the
Democrats Of the Eastern States.
The Atlanta Constitution speaks on this
subject as followx We DO not concur
in all that that paper Gays, but we give
Il as expressing the opinion OF shrewd
observer:
cit pains US 10 observe that many OF
the eastern Republican organs In com
menting on what they call the 'diVis-
tons among Democrats on the money
question, have failed to notice the re-
markable dissImilarity between Repub-
licaus In the East and Republicans In the
West on this same question.
"But we need not go 10 the far West
TO see the results Of this division. We
need 90 no farther than Pennsylvania.
where there Is a serious division among
the Republican voters. a majority being
I'm favor of the free ana unlimited coin
age of silver. and ~ minority being in
favor Of the single gold standard. The
most powerful. az well as Tho most
prominent Republican in that great Re-
publican State-Don CamerOn-0 an ar
dent and outepoken advocate Of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver"
We say we do not see the situation in
the same light in which II presents itself
20 our Atlanta contemporary; yet we
quote the above as coming from Journal
whose utterances are generally regarded
as worthy of being pondered by the lead

that Whitney IL the most available man
that the Democrats have for their presi-

feranca on this subject meets with silence
on the part OF administration men, They
are waiting TO hear Mr.. ClAveiandS

BY the way. Senator Cockren, Of Mis-
souri, mo friend OF the President's). says
that ne Is confident Mr.. Cleveland wishes

but none that ne could be elected IL he got

Mr. Crisp. In addition TO saying that
Whitney ought to be our presidential
nominee. gives as his opinion that the
time has not yet come to put a southern
man on the ticket, either as President
or Vice-President. But he excerpts Mr..
Carlisle. because Carlisle could always
take the iron-clad oasA and because Car
Isle lives at Covington, which is little

tains a four-column biographical sketch
OF Mr.. Carlisle, from which IL appears
hat he is TO q great extent a selfeduca-
TED man. At q he dropped into Coving
ION from the country and submitted him
self for examination as a publlc-school
teacher. This examination he passed
with great credit. Later he studied law.
and later still became a member Of the
Kentucky House and It's Speaker When
the question arose whether Kentucky
should seccde or not Mr.. Carlisle took
the negative side. holding that the State
had no constitutional right 20 withdraw
from the Union. And so when he was
sent 10 Congress he was able 10 take,
and we believe did always take, the
,iron-clad OATH" declaring that he never
iided. abetted, or sympathized with the

Mr.. Crisp has himself been mentioned
IN connection with the vice-presidency;
