Proof Of Darwinian Theory.

Evansville, Ind, Cor. n. Y. Worid)
A son born to the wife of d farmer

two inches long, just at the end of the
spinal column, and apparently COM
posed of cartilage. In every other re-
spect the child is perfectly normal.
The parents have consented to perm t
examinat ton of the baby in the interest
of science, ard local physicians will
try to find cause for the deformity.
The physicians say they think it is
worthy of the study of the medical

State In Safe Hands.
(Allegheny Starr

On yesterday Gov. Chas. Is. Aycock
retired as Governor of North Carolina.
He has filled that exalted place with
honor to himself and fidelity to the
people. The State has made wonder
full progress during his term of office
especially along educational lines. He
is an orator, and has worked with
tireless energy to build up every in
terest in the State in a legitimate way.
What he will do we are not advised,
but we feel assured that his ability
and varied talents will bring him sue
cess in any avenue that he may choose
to enter. The best wishes of the good
people of the State will go with the
retiring Governor. We believe that
his successor, Governor Glenn, will
carry forward the good work of his
predecessor and that the State is yet
in safe hands.

Other Southern Men Should Dcfcnt
Southern White Men.
(Rocky Mount Record.)

At recent meeting Of the Southern
society in New York, Colonel Robert
Bingham, of North Carolina, declared
there is no more danger of negro
domination in the South than there Is
of the domination of the buffatoes of
the praries of the West and yet the
politicians still use it as an issue. 1t
is not because of such men as Col.
Bingham, though, that there is no
such danger. We don't approve of
harping on the negro issue so much,
but there was a time when some sec
tons of North Carolina were under the
dominion of the negro to entirely too
great an extent and Southern white
men should be ready at all time to
defend the position the great majority
of the white mem of the State occupy
on that question when occasion calls
for such defense.

The leadir~ business men of Nash

creased from 25 to As per cent since
the whiskey traffic has been elimi-
mated. The business interests of Nash
vile are on a more solid foundation
than ever before in tne history of the

fact that the six saloons which once

1t is evident that the time has come

Goldsboro and Greensboro is put in

the lease which gives it net profit of

Spirit of the Press.
Compulsory Voting.

Governor Folk
The State is entitled to have each
citizen vote in order that the result of
the election may be the just sentiment
of the people of the State. II would
seem to be only just that those who
do not prize this privilege enough to
exercise it ought to forfeit it. The
knowledge that failure to vote would
disfranchise them and make them po~
litical eunuchs would bring home 10
them realization of its supreme
value. When a corporation obtains a
franchise, it is forfeited by non-use.
Apply this principle to the privilege Of
voting, and it will do more than any
thing else to remedy the evil of civil
indifference that is the weakness of q
republican form of government.

Cotton Costs Too Much To Burn.

Sensible farmers in the South are
holding their cotton. 1t costs too much
to burn it. [ predict that cotton Will
go back to 8 IL cents inside of 80
days, and there will be a million bales
that will not come to the market even
at that price. There is absolutely no
need for panic anywhere, and none
but Idiets will burn cotton. Tine South-
ern planters are in a better condition
financially than they have ever been
within my recollection We have had
a good price for cotton the last two
crops. Most men are out of debt and
have money in the bank.

SOUTH DAKoTA's INFAMY.

While Russell, Butler & Co.. traitors
to their State, are trying to compel
North Carolina to pay the full amount
for bonds that the State ought not 70
pay i'm equity or in law. there are peo-
ple outside of North Carolina who,
while not fully understanding all the
circumstances, see that in the South
Dakota matter an attempt is being
made to injure the State. In his lat
est letter, "Savoyard'' properly charac-
terizes South Dakota by saying that If
he "were asked what is the most dis
reputable and disgraceful thing any
State of the American sisterhood has
DONE" he would not hesitate a mo-
ment. but would name South Dakota,
which has assumed the position of one
who has received stolen goods I'm
stead of establishing and licensing a
gambling hell as a gentlemanly COM
munity that needed the money would
do, South Dakota accepts as gift GER
tain alleged obligations of an Infamous
carpet-bag government that stands on
the footing of forged banks checks. ,"
Not only this, but the State was
shameless enough to demand its col
lection by the judgment of a court of
law"
In the same article "Savoyard" goes
on to say:
"And so South. Dakota has judg-
ment against North CarOlina-On a
forged check. If l. were not a Ken
tuckian / would rather be a North
Carolinian than anybody else though
my father was a Virginian. The old
State is first in war. She never was
much given to furnishing the man OF
epaulets, but she had a great habit
of sending to the front the fellow with
a smusket in his hand, and it was al
ways a dangerous thing to be in front
of that fellow when he was in line
of battle. North Carolina never owed
an honest dollar that she was not anx-
ious to pay, but every cent of this judg-
ment is dishonest in every particular,
and it's collection will be the infamy
of South Dakota. / have no doubt
North Carolina will pay it, and l have
even less doubt that every honest man
everywhere will look on South Dakota
with scorn and contempt"

welr deserved. He is mistaken in

vacant in the community which it will
be difficult to fill. Mr.. Hubbard was a
big man in every way, and general sor-

day.
The funeral services. which were held
at the beautiful residence of the deceas-

not begin to hold those who wished to

took them away from him. He had
his coat off and under his arm. They
