COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

In the north there has been since the
formation of the federal government
a powerful party favoring a strong
government. With the years and the
destructive results and events of the
war 1T has grown. The present United
States government is far from being
the government the thirteen states set
up n put in motion. So advanced is
h paternal idea up north, and so
widely prevailing is the centralized pow
er idea that states are invaded with
universal applause by the United
States army at the command of an
alleged democratic president and with
almost universal applause in the south
even. The present course of United
States judges with their new tangled
government by Injunction" is another
monster that las been born in the hot
bead of fanaticism, usurpatiOn and GEN.
t~ralization. So the north adopts n
measure that paternalism favors or in
vokes. Hence the compulsory educa-
ton fad is fiercely favored and the
homes are invaded and parents are
simply coerced, compelled to doing
what h government says. If it a
not been for the conservative balance
wheel introduced into the government
machinery by the wise and patriotic
and liberty loving statesmen Of the
south the old thing would ave run
down or beer broken IN the rock Of
despotism long ago. Compulsory educa-
tin is plausible and insinuating, n
losing sight of principles and rights
and liberty itself it is cunningly used
by it's advocates who are mainly
STEPPED in the political poison Of Ham,
iltOnianism that has cursed our coun-
try from the meeting of the constitu-
tional convention unit today.
We see that the new rad-pop superin-
tendent of education, Mebane, favors
compulsory education. We are not
surprised to learn this or any thing else
that may come from the officials of
the combine. If any thing really good
to the state can come from that I'M
holy alliance we have yet to see it.
With the restoration of putting men
in Jail for debt-a relic of medieval
barbarism-in North Carolina by these
stupid and swift agents Of oppression,
who eternally mouth of popular rights
and personal muniments, it is quite fit
ting to have compulsory education or
compulsory voting or any thing else
that may be suggested to the riotous
and incubating brains of the "refaw-
merS."

What meaneth that news from Ra-
leigh as to the tsar's latest move in the
exercise of imperial power? He is af-
ter the two Wilson's on the railway
commission. Ii he rids the state Of
Ohio Wilson there will be no u
ing; in the democratic camp. The gov
ernor is, we suppose, empowered to
decapitate under the act. If the Will
sons are acting unlawfully then they
ought to go. But we confess there is
one very suspicious circumstance con-
nected with the Russell movement.
Marion Butler and Russell are hold
ing a private hocus-pocus chat, and
that may be dangerous. 1t is an inn
mediate cause for suspicion whenever
Butler indorses any thing. If he does
right in politics it is by accident.

exactly the same as that which makes
lynching possible in the south"
That was in a city with a large police
force and soldiers and courts But
suppose it had been in some Of the
counties. away from such restraints il
it not altogether probable that the ras-
cal would have undergone swift exc
cution at the hands of Judge Lynch?
The Messenger q often urged tina

very much the same. With like provo
cations there would be like results. II,
as the Messenger said recently. there
were in proportion to population in the
north as many black brutes to violate
and assault the wives and daughters
and even little children of the whites
there would be just as many lynchings
there as occur in the south.

ton and will make angels weep" and
it is just the same in New York state
or Pennsylvania or Illinois or Ohio as
in North Carolina or Georgia or Texas.
There is one northern paper not par
ticularly friendly to the south in any
way, we think. But it is able and it
learns by observation. 1t has written
lately in a strain as to lynchings,
different from other years. h we
have referred to before and have
copied from it. Writing Of that very
disgraceful lynching. at Urbana, Ohio,
where there is much wealth n refine
ment and the "best folks" too a hand,
the New York Evening Post said that
this is no sectional question. Most of
the lynchings of black men for the
usual crime occur in the south, but
that is simply because most of the
black men liv in the south. If negro
brutes were as numerous in the north,
the whites in this section would feel
as strongly and act as rashly as their
brethren in the south-the UIbana in
cident showed that. We are all in the
same boat, north and south, east and
west. If we lynch negroes in Ohio
without restraint, the mex thing we
| know the life of a white man accused
Of crime in New York or New England
will not be safe. The first thing to
do is to realize the Let
us for a while stop trying to reform
the universe and set our own house in

Very sensible and timely. When the

brutes cease their crimes against hui

It's the old, old story, told ovr and over again since the dawn of crea-
ton. The story of the heart. It's q theme that never wearieS And yet
the saddest stories of the heart Are those of it's disorders. 1t has been the
most neglected organ in the body. There are thousands Of cases Of heart
disease that never receive the proper treatment. The average doctor knows
little of the heart, and treats the casesp presented to him, as some other dis
order and in this manner, patients, instead Of being cured, are made worse.
The testimony of the lady whose portrait appears above is pertinent.
Dr. Niles discoveries, relating to the heart and nerves, mark q new era in
the treatment of disorders of these most vital organs. Heart disease
formerly considered beyond the pale of medical aid, has at last yielded the
victory to DR.. Miles New Heart Cure. The reports received by DR.. Miles
Medical Co, of cases where special advice is asked, show conclusively that in
Restorative Remedies The few failures are generally due to NEGLIGENCE on
the part of the patient in not taking the remedies az directed. m
r. ga severe attack Of typhoid fever left me with heart trouble Of the
most serious nature. Nothing the doctors gave me seemed to have
effect. They gave the very strongest OF heart medicines, but to no avail. 1

my left side for more than three minutes at a time without great pain. My
heart seemed Ito miss beats, and [ had smothering spells, in which it seemed

We accidentally heard of DR.. Miles New Heart Cure and Restorative
Nervne, and as a last resort we purchased q bottle Of each. After taking
weeks could walk about and in short time l was able to do light house
work and am we'll along o n the road to health.
1 shall be ever grateful to you for your wonderful medicines and will
praise them to everyone l know. Truly they saved my life. Hoping every
