There are many curious things in
this life. The "~curiosities of litera-
ture" abound as old isaac Disreali long
ago showed. They are being added to
every year. Some ~curiosities in the
Georgian calendar are worth copying.
We give two that are indeed peculiar
and worth preserving. The London
Westminster Gazette gives this:
Since the calendar was reformed by
Pope Gregory no century has ever be-
gun on a Wednesday, a Friday, or a
Sunday: and the same order of DAYS
is reported every twenty years.
January and October of each year
always begin with the same day; SO
with April and July; so with Septem-
Der and December; so with February.

If a roper libel law were passed by
the legislature it would be in the inter-
est of justice. Newspapers are often
made victims when there was not the
slightest purpose Of SANDER or dc wrong
in any way. While the press should do
right and be responsible for improper
u~tterances against the innocent they
ought not to be victimized by malice
or punished unjustly, The Charlotte
Observer we'll sizes it UP in the follow
ing paragraph:
newspaper men are entitled to no
more consideration from the law than
butchers or bakers, OF candle-stick
makers, but they are entitled to as
much, n we hope the present general
assembly will give it to them by pass
ing the bill now before it to amend the
libel law"

A Rockingham county farmer killed
155 hogs hat averaged 23S pounds.
This is an excellent average and he is
a wise farmer who is able TO raise so
many hogs Is 155. and to make them
of such remarkably gaood average. 1t
is a pity that the farmers of North Caro-
lima do not raise more hogs, keeping
their corn cribs at home, and supplying
all outside State demands for bacon
and greens. They would be wise to
expend one-third for fertilizers that is
now expended. They ought to devote
more energy and intelligence to raising
home manures. 1t can be done with
economy and safety. Up in Iredell, ac-

The gathering of the legal fraternity

Many of our state contemporaries
are urging legal primaries, and, we
must think, with wisdom. The best
way to bring out into political activi-
~ that large class of intelligent voters
who viii not interest themselves in so
shaping public sentiment as TO secure
the best possible selection of candi-
dates. It will heal breaches and unite
the best class of voters in a choice Of
public servants. Often men are nomi-
mated who cannot command the sup
port of the best class of voters who are
conscientious and patriotic and who
would serve their country wisely and
well by their suffrage. Kings Week
~ says this:
Legal primaries are our only safe
guards. Had we nave had them there
would have been no third party. Boss
ism, under that system is reduced to its
minimum n unless something of the
kind is given us there will be splits
~dissensions n trouble in the party
much sooner than many people suspect
it,"
