We notice in an exchange this state
ment, made by a correspondent in ref
ernce to a school,: Mr.. - has
pictured to them so forcibly the vast
possibilities stretching out before
them that there is not a lad in school
who does not expect at some time to be
governor of North Carolina" Now
that's the trouble in many a school in
North Carolina. The boys have been
taught hat about all there is to live
for is some political job. Its hat way
from the university down to the old
field school. This political job induce
ment has been held out to the North
Carolina boys in order to make him
aspire, about long enough. We need
to teach the boys to aim high, but
there are higher things than governor
ships. To be master of a factory n
to know it's complicated machinery is
a greater thing than to hold down the
governors chair.-Monroe Enquirer.
This epithet had been occasionally
applied by the soldiers of other states
to those of North Carolina since the
fall Of 1862. The Fourth Texas passed
the Sixth North Carolina shortly after
the battle of Sharpsburg and called
out, "Tarheel." The reply was, IF
you had had a little tar on your heels
you would have brought your flag
away from Sharpsburg." The Texas
regiment. although one of the best in
Lees army, had lost it's flag in this
fight. The name became more common
and in the spring of 1864 was very gen.
eral. When Governor Vance visited
the army, March 1864, in his opening
address, he said "he had been troubled
as to how he should addressthem. Eel
low soldiers, would not do for, although
he had been a soldier, he was not now.
Fellow-citizens would not answer for
they were soldiers, and not in North
Carolina; therefore he had determined
to call them Fellow Tarheels, a name
the other soldiers gave them because
they stuck SO we'll in time of battle"

The surprising in which n
farmer of Fulton county, Kentucky.
surprised his estimable wife is thus re-
lated by the Fulton Leader:
A good story is toll of a farmer liv-
ing east of Fulton, who wore his old
suit. the one that Noah left in the ark,
till everyone was tired of 1t, n his
estimable wife was almost ashamed OF
the hustling farmer who had been in
side of it so long. But one day recently
he came to Fulton to sell his produce
n while in town he determined to buy
a new suit, and, happy thought! sur
prise Eliza. So he bundled a neat suit
in the Wagon and drove homeward. 1t
was after night as he hurried home,
and at the bridge near BoaZ chapel he
stood up in the wagon and peeled and
threw the despised old suit into the riv-
er. Then he cached for his clothes.
They were gone-had polted out of the
Wagon. The night was cold and his
teeth chartered as he hurried for home.
He surprised Eliza even more thar he
anticipated.

A NORTHERN "CHIEL'S AMANG YOU
IL NOTES."

We have seen in two Of our very val
able Presbyterian religious exchanges
notice Of a visit a Mr.. E. H. Abbott
Like northern people who sweep
through the south, he failed to discover
correctly and betrayed the usual ignor-
ance of facts and conditions. He does
not seem to have been ~purposely antag-
o~nistic, but he come loaded with what
sticks like a bur in the New England
mind when the south is to be viewed
either from a fast moving railway cat
or through the green SpectacleS OF
youth. He inevitably slips up, however,
well mean his reports and however
amiable and receptive of truth. He
found more religion dow this way tina
he anticipated. He Internationally paid
the south a high compliment where he
meant surprise and censure. We quote:
In most of the sermons and religious
addresses L heard in the south, the con-
ception of religion seemed to be that Of
a preparation for a world to come rath-
er than a mode Of earthly life. The
matter for chief concern seemed to be,
QOC l1S TSldllOH VI Tie llOlNlOudI "
God and his fellow men. but rather the
condition of his soul after DEATH"
You see with truly religious people
religion is a very serious, solemn. every
day matter and not outward show and
Sunday performance. He is pleased to
make this admission: "On the contrary
no where have I heard mora precepts
more explicitly, even Dramatically as
serted than by Christian people Of the
south"
He found church attendance good and
he found Christian greeting generally.
He seemed impressed when in Rich
mond. Va. Read this:
AT the church as 1 was standing
alone in the vestibule a gentleman Of
military bearing entered and at once
seeing that / was a stranger bade me
welcome as if 1 were a guest at his
own house and proffered me a seat.
500 afterwards / was greeted by an
other host. 1 had been welcomed to the
church, now / was welcomed to the
pew"
We do not undertake to ollow him
in his observations and comments. Up
north farmers work on Sundays 1t
seems. Mr.. Abbott had seen this in
Maine. The Charlotte Standard has
this:
He inuocently asked this South Car
DINA farmer whether the men there
worked on Sunday more than formerly
and received the answer:'No one ever
does farm work on Sunday. People
here are careless, but they are not sac
religious. 1t seems to US that Mr.. Alb
bolt has mad out the case in spite of
his theories to the contrary. that he
found more vital Christianity in the
south thai he left in Maine. although
we must deplore the lack Of college
Settlements" n personal work."
There are some rather amusing things
in Mr.. Abbott's views. He even Won
| ders at the foremost ministers heins
behind the times-that is behind the ad-
vanced ideas Of certain up-north di-
vines and t~heologians. May they al
ways remain SO and may they continue
: to walk in the old ways"
