ITS EDUCATIONAL VALUE.

Raising the fund in the manner pro-
posed by General Carr, gives to the statue
of Sir Walter Raleigh, to be erected in
Raleigh, an educational and popular in
terest that is worthy of the hero it will
represent. He gave his life for the
Anglo Saxon race, and in North Carolina
that race is freest from foreign admix-
ture; it is therefore befitting the the
people should erect the first statue TO his
memory on the earth, and that it should
be erected in the city named in his hon
or. There is no more worthy citizen in
our State to inaugurate the movement
than General Carr, as he has begun it
in way that will make it's benefits the
most far reaching. Every North Caro-
linian is entitled to share in the glory
of this enterprise, the success Of which
is assured from the beginning.
Leading literary and public spirited
men and women will attend the meeting
of the State Library and Historical AS
ISOLATION to help inaugurate the two
movements-the celebration at Roanoke
Island and the erection of a monument
to Sir Walter Raleigh at Raleigh, which
means much for North Carolina-the
memory of the dead hero whom she de-
lights to honor.

That was pretty bright saying Prof
W. II. Copncill, the negro educator, got
off at the Texas State Fair He said il

"brutes or supposed brutes are illegally
put to death in the most f1endish man
ner" but 'in the North honest, upright,
hard-working negroes are illegally and
in a most dastardly manner overawed
and outraged for seeking an honest lit-
ing" He therefore concluded that "the
negro is safer in the hands of the men
who followed Lee, who go hand in hand
in the hands of any other class of Amer
lean citizens

SYSTEMATIC GIVING.

There was more philosophy in requiring
tribution to the church. 1t was to teach
systematic benevolence. Most people get
good in spasms. they are generous in
spurts, and it does not do so much good
as smaller sums paid regularly. The
Fayetteville Presbytery at its session last
week passed this sensible resolution:
THE Scriptural plan of systematic Civ
ing is the best of all methods fol
raising money for the Lords work 1t is
best because Scriptural. We may make
spasmodic efforts and use. high pressure
methods to meet an emergency. but an
other will arise, and the enthusiasm may
not arise with it.

A NORTH CAROLINA PROPHET

An interesting contribution to the
come from the press, it being collec-
ton of letters written shortly after the
close of the Revolution by William
Dickson, of Duplin county. This conn
pilation is the work of James 0. Carr,
Esq, a member of the Wilmington bar
and a great grand nephew of Mr.. Dick
son.
All of the letters are of an interesting
nature, giving vivid pictures of happen
ings in North Carolina during the Brit
ish invasion, and the times subsequent
thereto But their most remarkable fea-
ture is a passage contained in one dated
December %, 1890, shortly after the
adoption of the Federal Constitution,
and addressed to cousin of the writer,
the Rev Herbert Dickson. Presbyte-
rian clergyman living in Newry, Ireland.
Years after the revolution these letters
were brought back to North Carolina
by two sons of the Rev. Mr.. Dickson.
In expressing his doubt as to the wis
dom of North Carolina in adopting the
Constitution, William Dickson says:
1T appears to me that the Southern
States will not receive equal bepefit in
the government with the Northern
States. The interest, manners and GUS
toms and trade will be more united and
by being more numerous and more pow
erful will form the laws of the general
government more to their own advant-
age and convenience. The Southern
: States will have their vote but will not
be able to carry any point against SO
powerful party in'causes where either
general or local interests are
the object Some attempts which were
made in the course of the
last session of Congress have much
alarmed the Southern people. The
most strenuous exertions were made by
some of the Northern representatives to
liberate and emancipate the slaves in
the United States, and though they did
not carry their point they seem deter
mined never to stop the matter till they
do. This, if effected, will be arbitrary,
cruel and unjust. The people in the
Southern States who have any property
hold it mostly in land and negroes, and
IL Invested of their negroes their lands
will become useless, or rather burden
some to them. They will not be able
to cultivate or pay the taxes on them
and the most opulent and considera BILE
families would in a short time be re-
duced to Indulgence and extreme pow
erty''
Had Mr.. Dickson lived at the present
day, with the record of past events be-
fore his eyes, no more exact and detailed
account could be written of what trans
pired in the history of the United States
than that which he gives. The fulfil
ment of his prophecy is little less than
a marvel.

THE COST OF LIVING.

New York Tribune.
'Dun's" index number on October /
was $96.S9, an advance of 4.6 per cent, as
compared with the cost of living year
ago, and against $9611 on September l,
1856 on January l and S72.45 in July,
1S97-the low record. The method by
which the cost of living is ascertained
by Duns Review involves, after select
ing a list of articles covering all the
necessaries Of life-including whisky,
beer and tobacco-the multiplication OF
each quotation by the quantity annual
~ consumed by each inhabitant, as
nearly as may be ascertained by Stats
teal records. While these figures can
not be considered exact, the appropria-
tion is sufficiently close to attain the de-
sired result, and the ratio being con-
slant the comparison with different
dates shows to a cent the rise or fall in
cost of living.

Armies OF Snakes.

The building of the now West Branch
railroad, between Karthaus and Clear
field, has chased from their haunts
hundreds OF rattlesnakes and copper
heads. Until the work on the new rail-
road began that section of the country
was overrun with snakes. 1t is 30 rocky
that forest fires could not disturb the
reptiles, so that the cliffs and lodges
became the home and breeding place of
countless numbers of them.
One gang of laborers in ono day kill
ed forty.two copperhead snakes and
eleven rattlers. In traversing a path
less than mile long, Bert Gressmeyer
killed seven copperheads. They all APP
peared to be going in one direction.
The laborers on the new road are al
most terrorized through fear of the
poisonous reptiles, for nearly every
blast brings snake or two rolling
down among them with the dirt.
Some of the gangs have employed
men whose sole duty is to patrol pre-
scribed area and kill the snakes found
therein. The men are afraid to go To
bed lest they find snake as a bed fell
low.
One of the men employed to kill
snakes in two days slaughtered l02 cop.
perheads and rattlers. He put them
all on pile and the heap was large
enough to fill four barrels. This man
discovered one of the dens, and inside
of two hours he had slain nearly sixty
snakes. Lock Haven Democrat.

Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, OF
Syracuse, painted his Thousand-Islands
cottage in 90 with Devoc; and painted
it again in 80, with the same, OF course.
Takes so gallons.
"What! does it last only seven
years."
Depends on what you paint for. No
one can tell how long job of paint is
going to last in any particular case.
The paint may last ten years and the
color five.
A summer cottage is painted to keep
out water, to keep it from rotting.
Seven years is a good long time for
paint to look fresh-depends on the
color though; some colors last longer
than others. Three is too long for
some of the prettiest colors. Nothing
pays better, in building house, than a
good job of paint; and nothing pays bet
ter, in keeping it up, than repainting
as soon as the paint shows signs of i'm
pairment. But this is to keep it sound.
For the looks, you may paint it when
ever the freshness is Off. It's a matter
of color: not of paint.
Yours truly,
