THE PROPER WAY.

The Star Neavs deprecates the abuse
and ridicule that is being -heaped upon
gubernatorial candidates by Republic
can newspapers. One may have a ia
vorite candidate for the nomination,
but that does not make it. necessary to
jump on all other candidates and make
them out blacklegs and rascals. It is
safe to presume that no man could at
tain prominence as a candidate for
governor who would not make a fairlv
good one if nominated and elected. and
it is folly for Republican newspapers
to abuse prominent men of their own
party whom they are liable to be called
upon to support at the polls. Further
more, abuse is not argument, and it
does not advance the prospects of, ones
favorite to abuse everybody who
aspires to the same position. If one
thinks some one man is better fitted
for the position of governor than all
the other candidates, just say SO and
present the advantages he possesses
over the others, but do mot abuse good
reputable men of your own party

the Spanish-American war really

America is surerto come out right side

Judge Collins would poll more votes

AN CcAsIoN o TO BE MISSED.

AN OCCASION NoT TO BE MISSED.
On Tuesday-of next week, July
10Th, the great excursion of Mr..
R. E. Pipkin starts from Will
mington in the morning and from
Goldsboro at noon, for Norfolk,
Washington and Baltimore. The
fare for the round trip from this
city is only $3.50 to either Wash
ington Or Baltimore; OF if you de-
sire to go only 50 far as Norfolk,
$3.50. It is marvellous how very
cheap this trip is, audit gives you
two whole days and one night in
Washington or Baltimore-or
you can go over from Washing
ton to Baltimore in an hour on
the cars and spend what time you
like, thus seeing both of these
great southern cit;es-one of them
the capital of the nation and the
most beautiful city in the world.
All the departments of the
Government are now of unusual
interest-especially the War and
Navy departments, and these
magnificent buildings alone give
visitors a better idea Of the great
ness, the power, the wealth and
glory of this SO great country, that
is now challenging the wonder
and admiration Of the world, than
volumes of writing and years Of
reading could convey.
The art galleries, too, and mu-
seums, the White House and
Capital, the Washington monu-
ment and grounds, the parks and
beautiful squares, the great bust
ness houses and markets, and last,
but far the most sublime structure
in the world, the new Congress-
ional library, all these are to be
seen, within easy distance of one
another, and a visit to any one of
them alone is we'll worth the price
of the entira trim
Mr. Pipkin is now correspond
ing with the Congressional libra
rian to have the magnificent
structure lighted by electricity
on the night of July 20 for the
delight and %edifcation of his ex-
~cursion patrons, and we have no
doubt he will succeed,-he always
does, and the world does not hold
a more sublime spectacle than
the new Congressional library
lighted by electricity.

The sad and unexpected death
of Miss Pattie Flowers occurred at
her home Sunday night at 10
O'Clock. We say sad, because
she was just blooming into young
womanhood, only IA years old
and enjoying perfect health until
this fatal typhoid fever grasped
and snatched her from the joys of
life to the joys of eternity, While
young and enjoying her exceptions
al good health, she was never hap
pier than when making younger
children enjoy themselves. AL
ways patient aud kind and ever
thoughtful of the pleasures of 9TH

friends try and emulate her noble
disposition. The whole community
join in expression of their deepest
sorrow for the stricken family.

had the pleasure Of inspecting
this season is that Of Mr. John
Smith. on the lands of Mr.. Gid
con Grantham, known as the
Hudson place. Mr.. Smith has
forty-fve acres in corn that is at
this writing in roastin'-ear and is
the best field of corn I have ever
had the pleasure of viewing, also
fifteen acres of cotton that is far
aboYe the average. Mr.. Smith is
one Of most progressive
farmers. His efforts are deserv-
lug of his success.
The tobacco farmers of our

is ripening prematurely.
