something to attend to in my room that
should be looked AFTER or II am afraid
1 am OBTAINING you! I did not dream it
was so late!' Or some tactful friendly
phrase that will release him and leave
the impression that you have enjoyed his
society.
Undoubtedly, it is his place to rise and
bid you Good night instead of waiting
for you to make the move. I advise upon
the superstition that, like many other
well-meaning fellows, he does not know
just how to get himself out Of the room.
I have a gentleman friend who Is in
terested in me. and he claims to have
come from wealthy family up the State.
Now what want to know is how could
find out if the above mentioned state
ment be true? Should write to the post
master of his town and ask about his
family connection? And. if not, what is
your idea of interviewing him in the cir
curstanceS? J. D. 3.
If the young man is only an agreeable
acquaintance and intends to remain "only
that and nothing more,' you have moth
ing to do with the truth or untruth of his
statement. Should his intentions become
serious it will be his business to prove
what is his social status and what his
family relations. Don't think Of such I'M
maiden1y officiousness as writing to the
postmaster or the unadylike measure Of
Interviewing himself. He would never
forgive you were he to find out what you
had done or are doing, an when you
know more Of life and social ethics you
will find it hard to forgive yourself.

A Suggestion.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-It would seem to be OF the ut
most Importance that another Legisla-
ture should be. elected to carry into eff
feet the provisions Of the new Constitu-
ton When the present members were
elected the people did not know the i'm
portant work that the present Legisla-
ture would have to perform 1t appears
from it's recent acts that many of the
members are at heart earnestly opposed
to the new Constitution. 1t Is not to be
supposed that they will give the new
Constitution the effect that the people
desire. I do not mean to comment un-
favorably upon the present Legislature
but it does not occur to mo from perusal
of their acts that they are In sympathy
with the people. The new Constitution
will create a revolution; it is true that
it will be a beneficial revolution, but IN
order to accomplish it's purpose the people
ought to have the right to select their
own agents to carry it into effect. and 1t
seems to that 1t is the duty or the
Constitutional Convention to see that pro
vision is made for a new Legislature pc
fore they adjourn. To accomplish good
work. agents ought always to be IN
sympathy with their principals and on pc
half of the people earnestly suggest the
Importance Of new agents to the con-
vention. ,,reoN

ROADS AND SCHOOLS.

One of the most progressive States In
fine south to-day is the State of North
Carolina, and two most significant re-
ports are now coming from the old
North State. One of these is that the
people are increasing their local taxa
zion for the improvement Of their pubic
roads and the other that they are IN
creas,nE their local taxation for the I'M
provement of their public schools.
We know Of no surer sign of progress
in any State than that the schools ana
the roads arc being bettered. and 1t is
particularly good sign when the people
in the various localities voluntarily put
Ipon themselves a special tax Tor such
,,e++ernent in their own immediate neigh
borhood.
This is the s,rest and best way to get
good schools and good roads. The state
can do a great deal for the schools pS
general taxation, but as some sections
are rich and some are poor and as the
money is. as far as possible. evenly dis
tributed. it brings each and every section
a
which would have more efficient schools
must tax themselves for the extra eS-
pense.
AS for the public roads. we do not pc
,;ere that it is practicable for these to
he built at the expense of the State. This
cannot well be done without discriminat-
ing, and discrimination always causes
dissatisfaction. The way to get pettet
roads is for each and every community
TO build its own roads. That is the lar
est way, and the lairest way is the pest.
Whenever the people of any locality MAKE
,p their minds to tax themselves for road
Improvement or for school improvement
that section will be sure to get the i'm
provcments desired.
There is no grander principle OF Demo
cracy than the principle of local self
government.

The MEMORIAL ARCH.

It is stated that the Daughters of The
Confederacy have Lecided to ignore the
wish of Mrs Jefferson Davis and erect
a triunphal arch in honor of her husband
at Richmond. This raises once more the
question of how far a family should be
considered when it comes to honorinG a
member after death. But it is only ra-
tional to assume that ill-advised enthu-
siasm ought not to lead admirers OF any
man to overlook the rights of his surVlv-
ing relatives from having say in Inc
matter If these have the power to ue-
s,rcv or publish his letters and memoirs
surely they ought to have control In other
directions-New York Sun.
Will these Misrepresentation never
cease? In point Of fact the consent OF
Mrs. Davis was obtained before the de-
sign for the arch was selected, and it
was left to her to decide where the arch
should be placed. She preferred Monroe
Park, and her wishes will be respected
Fer our part we think that Monroe
Park is the proper place for the arch. and
when it is in place, we doubt not that the
ladies who have the work in charge and
the public will be pleased.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.
(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1859. the editor OF this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
Arril During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim,
he encountered much bad water which,
together with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and along
in June the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his neigh
bors brought him one small bottle OF
Cnamberlain's Collc, Cholera and Diarrhoae
Remedy as last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony. and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was TAX
ing his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full. The season for bowel disorders being
at hand suggests this item. For sale by

A Ihree-Legged Chicken.

A young chicken about a day old was
brought to the Courier office on Satur-
day by Mr.. w. a. Thomas of Darvills,
who had secured it from Mr.. Alfred Hud-
SIN. of McFarlands. This chick had
three fully defined legs and two tails,
and appeared as lively as any day-old
chicken ever seen. Mr.. Hudson has also
had some queer eggs. Recently he had
a very large one and upon breaking it
found another fully developed egg, with
perfectly hard shell inside of it. These
instances are rare, but other reports of
similar kind have been published

CRITICISM FROM NEW ENGLAND.

Tho Boston Herald, in commenting on
the fact that the Virginia Convention
win proclaim the new Constitution, says
are afraid to submit the organic law OF
the State to a vote OF the people. A
Constitutional Convention Is now In ses-
sion in the State of Connecticut, and
this Boston paper asks what would New
England think OF It II the Connecticut
convention should decide tc proclaim ITS
work without submission to the vote OF
the people. Eut our Boston conteua-
porary does not seem to realize that con-
ditions in Connecticut and conditions In
Virginia are very. different BY revo-
lutionary act, tho United States Govern
ment turned loose upon the people OF
Virginia and upon the people Of the en-
tire South q great horde Of ignorant ne
Eroes to take part in the affairs of gov
eminent and TO lord it over the whites
n they could. These negroes have, since
they were first cnfranchiscd, voted as
solid black mass against the whites.
They forced the whites to resort to all
sorts of means to protect themselves
against the Vaccinations Of carpet-bag-
gers. who led the negro forces, and the
whites submitted until submission ceased
to be a virtue. 1t was absolutely nee
essary in the interest of pure politics to
get government to take summary action.
and II the people Of Connecticut were SUI
ferine under the same affliction they
would act in the same way.
But w. should like to ask the Boston
Herald how it was that the Fifteenth
Amendment was put into effect. So far
as the South was concerned, it was TO
nll intents and purposes promulgated by
the Federal government 1t was carried
and enhanced at the point of the bayo-
net. It was revolutionary enact
ment, and the Southern people have been
compelled in their own protection to meet
# with a counter revolution.
Tha. is the whole pitiful story, and the
less the Northern Republicans say about
It the better it will be for them.
