NORTH CAROLINA AND CHARLES
TON EXPOSITION.

Col. Olds in his correspondence to
the Charlotte Observer under date OF
May 31st, says:
Col. J. {. Hemphill, of the Charles
ton News and Courier, arrived here
today to 60 before the Board of Agri-
culture in the interest Of this States
exhibit at the Charleston Exposition.
At 1880 he and the writer went TO
the agricultural building, but found
that the Board had rlready acted and
appropriated $4,000 for the exhibit.
There will be 100000 Of material
available, and there is no cost for
railroad transport Of exhibits. AS
result North Carolina will make
brave show. Col. Hemphill was in
vited to make talk to the Board and
did so in a graceful way. He said
this State would be given all the space
it needed. He desired to know as
early as possible the space desired, so
it could be quickly assigned. He
said this State and his own were the
friendliest of rivals in the great race
of industrial progress. his State lead
ing somewhat in spindles and looms
but North Carolina having more mills
and always developing. He spoke OF
the fact that the South Carolina mills
had put their eggs in one basket; that
is, had catered almost exclusively to
the China trade and said in a recent
letter Mr.. Smythe, of the great Pelzer
Mills, stated that he was as blue as
indigo. Col. Hemphill apoke OF the
admirable work which George +.
Weston for two years past member
of the Board of Agriculture) was
doing in his position as the head of
the live stock department Of the ex-
position. and added that thanks to
Mr.. Weston's efforts nearly all the
big cattle, horsemen's and breeders
associations will be represented. The
premiums in this department alone
will aggregate s27,O
Commissioner Patterson, of the
Board Of Agriculture, said one of the
several considerations which moved
the Board to so promptly and unani-
mously vote the appropriation was
the fact that so many men who want
| ed to see the resources of the South
| In the SOutn would FlSlC the EXPOSE
ton. BY resources he said the Board
meant both the natural and the manu-
| featured.
1t may be said in concluding this
subject watch North Carolina at the
Charleston Exposition! great show
will be made. The entire Board OF
Agriculture will 60 there to see it.
There will be North Carolina day
maybe North Carolina week: i whole
week. Railway rates will be low. A
visit to Charleston will be delight
State Geologist Holmes spent yester-
day at Charleston in order to see the
exposition grounds, etc. He is de,
lighted; says the location is truly al,
mirable and that good progress is
being made on the buildings and
along other lines.

DR.. ABBOTT ON THE NEGRO PROB
LEM,

The trip which Robert c. Ogden
and a large party of Northern men
recently made through the South to
study the educational question, ha.
had one result, at least. 1t has taught
DIR. Lyman Abbott, Northern man,
to see the negro question through
Southern eyes. He told the Get
Together Club last night that the i'm
preston that the black man was a..
good As the white man had been
''mistaken. He said that the differ
ence in the skin stood for centuries of
barbarism and ignorance and that we
needed TO get away from the idea
''that all men have an equal right to
vote, to place in society, or to stand
where other people stand" He also
said tina. the South needed sympathy
and fellowship in the work it has
undertaken for the negro
This is notable, as being a recogni-
ton from leader of Northern thought
that the South has tried to do any,
thing for the negro except make a
slave and chattel of him. The South
would like to see him a good work
man. prosperous and contented, be-
cause the negro must do three-fourths
of the work which the South needs.
For that reason the South supports
the work which Booker L. Washing
ton is doing to give the men and
women Of his race industrial educa-
ton. A status of industrial thrift
and competence for the race as a
whole is loEg step in advance of
anything which the negro has known
since emancipation. When the negro
race gets lifted to that level it will
be time enough to think about some
thing in advance Of that. At present
the South does not want the negro a.
citizen because it knows by bitter
experience that he is not fitted for cit
izenship.-Brooklyn Eagle

A NEWSPAPERS ENEMIES.

A newspaper that makes no enemies
ism worth the paper on which it is print
ed Every day there is published some
thing in q real newspaper which some
one for their own personal reasons would
like to have left out A newspaper may
have warm friend, person who has
been friend for years, it may have done
him 90 favors, but let it fail to do him
the one hundredth, or let it say something
which he thinks contrary to his interest,
or tell the truth about him when he
doesn't want the truth told, and that
person becomes an enemy He is quick
to forget the past, but he is very bitter
about the present.-knoxville Sentinel.
The above is the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, and
it not0only applies to Knoxville, but
the entire country, Danville included.
Friends do not fall out when they diff
fer on the issues of the day and be-
cause newspaper sees its duty and
does it there is no occasion for people
TO abuse it. 1t has been demonstrated
time and again that no individual can
please everybody, and when it comes
to newspaper the idea of pleasing
everybody mi ght as well be abandoned
and forgotten, for it is one of the i'm
possibilities of life. An exchange
tells us that .'if a man wants to fill
his cup Of anguish until it runneth
over, just let him try to please every
body. If he goes into politics he is
called thief, and if he stays out he
is called unpatriotic. If he lays up
money against rainy day he is called
a miser, and if he casts his dough
upon the water people say he expects
it to come back in the shape of a
whole bakery. If he stands up for his
rights he is shot at, and if be don't
stand up for them he is trodden under
foot like a husband Of female suf-
frag:st.' All of which states the case
in nutshell.-Danville Bee

Fine Dinner

The February meeting of Summit
County Pomona was held at Copley,
Thursday, Feb 81.
The morning session was called to
order at II o'clock by the Master e. l..
Hale. The report of the secretary was
read and approved. An active dis
cussion followed ON the action Pomona
had taken at the January meeting,
bership fee to twenty-five cents and
the annual dues to twenty cents per
year. Authority of the highest source
was shown sustaining such action.
The dinner served by the ladies of
Copley Grange WAS worthy of the
highest praise.
The afternoon session was called
to order at one o'clock. A number of
pupils from the Copley school were
present, singing several selections.
Their efforts plainly showed what a
little drill and wise leadership can
do with Wiling learners.

necessary for abundant plant growth.
Proper cultivation helps natural con.
