looks like prophetic words the follow.
ing remarks: Mr.. Caldwell, the
Abolitionists are determined To
force a war on this country; when it
comes it will be such as we have never
had. The South will be shut in, the
border States will nearly all go with the
North. They will eventually overrun
us with numbers; we will be crushed;
slavery will go with it; we will be ruin
ed: however, there are three things that
will make ours the garden spot Of the
world climate. water power and tim
Der; and we will have the soil and the
people to bring the South up from her
ashes and humiliation. Sir, we viii
become manufacturing people. Those
who live will see that / am correct in
my conclusions"

An Omission Supplied.

To the Editor: In an article furnished
by me to the News and Observer, ut the
request of the editor, exhibiting briefly
the work and outlook of the Baptist de-
nominations OF North Carolina, uninten-
tionally failed to refer to the ChOWan
Female Institute and Oxford Female
Seminary as factors in the educational
development of our people. This omission
is ineXcusable in any review which pre-
tends to show and explain the progress
which North Carolina BaptiStS have
made. l therefore, at the earliest mo-
mGnt seek an opportunity to do justice
to these institutions SO eminently desery-
ing mention in that article. The ChOWan
Baptist Female Institute divides honors
with the Greensboro Female College in
having been the earliest movement for
the education of wCmanhO0d i'll North
Carolina. 1t is a we'll known fact that
the counties lying on the Virginia border
in the old Albemarle section and contigu-
Gus to the ocean along the Aibcmarle
Sound are pre-eminent in North Carolina
for the intelligence of their white popu-
lation. Behind this fact, and explaining
ii, is an educated womanbood; and be-
hind this educated womanh0od, and eX-
planning it, is the ChoWan Female Insd-
tute with its fifty-twO years of splendid
history. With its more than three hum
dred graduates scattered over this State
and other States, and beyond the seas III
fore, gn lands, carrying the Go pei t. those
who know it not, and with those in our
own churches who have helped in very
large measure to make our present great
work in missions and education possible
and with a still larger number of matrlc-
ulates of the Institute who did not grad
uate who have been and are now among
our best and most useful women in the
churches. It's founders and present pro
iectors have done and are doing a work
Of incalculable Importance. At no time
in its history has the spirit for which
the Institute stands been so necessary to
the progress of the denomination and the
world as at present. At no time in its
history has that spirit been more stOutly
maintained, or more vigorously insisted on
than under the leadership of John 4.
Scarborough Its present building is in
ferior to few in the State, its campus de-
cidedly surpasses in natural beauty and
artistic arrangement any college campus
the writer has seen in North Carolina.
Its scholastic work is thorough and eX-
tensive, and its charges are within reach
of cur people.
Nor should I fail to mention the Ok
ford Seminary under the presidency OF
f. p. Hobgood. It's deserving is adver-
tised by its popularity. 1t is great mis-
take to suppose that the Baptist denom-
ination in building and endowing it's great
school in the city Of Raleigh will allow
its educational power to be impaired by
the weakening of other schools under
baptist control. That would be short
sighted policy indeed.

Such are the great ten-year land-
marks in the growth Of the nation un-
der the present constitution.
While the absolute increase during
the last decade is. the largest recorded,
as Of course II should be, the relative
increase is the smallest, and this to an
extent is also in harmony with reason
able expectation, for as the country's
population reaches such figures as at
present, the gains from immigration
produce small relative effects compared
With what was the case years ago.
Nevertheless. the natural rate Of in-
crease Is evidently declining along with
q decline in immigration as related to
the total population. Thus altogether a
much slower pace in the filling up Of
the vast territory of the United States
has been reached.
But the decline in rate of increase
since 1880 is probably less abrupt than
the table shows. It has been pretty we'll
established that the count OF 1870 was
| defective in the southern states, and
that q larger population actually ex-
| listed in the country than was reported.
Hence the increase from 1870 to 1880
was exaggerated, while the increase
Il from g16OU 10 IolUs iWAS IuhuS " dPPCdi
less than the actual. Making these all
s!owances or corrections. We should have
the rate of increase falling pretty
steadily from the 1888 per cent Of the
decade Just before the war to the ap-
proximately q per cent now reached.
If. however. the 1870-lse0 increase is
accepted as exaggerated, then of course
the rate of increase for the 1ss0-1Sso
decade was larger than the 25.75 per
cent given, and we should have a fall
in the rate during the last ten years
more extended even than is indicated,
and the indicated fall is rather sharp.
The slackening Of the pace has been
very abrupt in this short time. The
Largest immigration of the 1SsO-lS9(
decade over the last decade will only
partly explain this sudden and SHARP
decline in the rate OF increase. There
must exist a marked tendency to de-
j cline in the natural rate Of increase
thru the excess of births over deaths.

suBuRsANlrEs INCREASING.

The Increase Of strictly suburban life
is a commonplace of statistical invests
cation. In his study Of the census Of
1890 Carroll %. Wright analyses the
figures to sho, that the over-crowdlng
of the so-called tenement house dis
stricts has probably reached q MAXI
mum. largely because Of the new set
toward the suburbs. Col Wright
quotes the conclusion OF Sydney J..
Low, an authority on the English CEN
sus who after noting similar facts
there. makes this prediction: II the.
process goes on unchecked, the En-
glishman OF the future Will be OF the
city but not in II. He will be sub
urb dweller. The majority of the peo-i
pie of these islands will live in the sub
urbs.'' A writer in Scribner's for Mo-
Nember says:
The impossbility of delimitins or
defining the suburb, a s It's extent be-
comes more and more indefinite, is due
less tothe influence of trolley COMPETE
ton than to its direct facilities. To
this competition must be largely at
Itributed. the fact, discovered by Pro-
lessor Commons in his recent investi-
cation of railway rates in Massachu-
L
ltances have fallen but little below
what they We're fifty years ago, com
MUTATION fares for short distances
lghave fallen nearly 80 per cent in ten

About Sending Us Money By Mail.

Bear in mind that While our postal system is one
best in the world, the millennium is yet
here; there some dishonestpostal employees.
It's, therefore unwise to send silver or currency
in common letter. Where possible buy a postal
order. 1t costs &c. but it is safe # you cannot
register the letter This costs Sc and the gov
ntis responsible for any loss up $1,000,
but it isvery safe, as every person handling your
letter must receipt for its condition. In sending
checks have them certified at your bank that
we do not need to wait to have check collected
before filling your order. Be sure to send money
enough to cover your order and postage
press charges. But at any rate we always refund
by mail all money you send not needed to
