A WORD QF WASHING.
The Advance belie yes it to be
the duty of a newspaper1 o do
something , more than merely
chronicle the news and labor
for the success cf the political
party whose cause it espouses.
We believe that the news should
be given and we have' no uso for
a newspaper that does not labor
unceasingly for the party to
which it belongs. While all
this is the duty of a newspaper
there are yet other duties that
newspapers owe the community
that support them. We shall
endeavor, as we have in the
past, to give the news, to labor
unflinchingly for the cause of
Democracy and, so far as it lies
in our power, to do what we can
to be of eervice to the commun
ity in every good work.
The Wilson Advance has ;
begun to fight the custon of li
censing gamblers and Swindlers
by the managers of agricultur-,
al fairs. That is very; well, but
unless there is an improvement j
in the most of the fair's that we
know anything about, on the :
score of gambling, swindling,
racing, &c, it might i be still
better to begin the fight against
the fairs j themselves States -ville
Advocate. 1
- The Advance believes that
the Agricultural- Fairs - are
means of accomplishing great
good and therefore it is that it
proposes to fight the 1 inexcus
able violation of lai that is
permitted aye, even.v licensed
to be carried on at thesa fairs.
We believe that unless the
soulless devils, who - are per
mitted' to infest audi disgrace
our agricultural fairs are driven
out and their unlawful swind-;
ling of the people stopped, that j
an enlightened public senti
ment will place the fairs under
a Dan, ana withdraw the . co
operation and support,' of the
law-abiding people. . We be
lieve that the welfare of the!
agricultural fairs demands that
these emissaries of hell shall be
tolerated no longer and we call
upon all who believe fthat the
law should be enforced that
the public shall be protected
against thieves, to join with us
in our efforts to remove from
our agricultural fairs this foul
blot. . "

If there is anything that saps
from a man all that is noble
and good that transforms a
man made in the image of God
iuto a heartless wretch more
quickly than does gambling, it
has never been our lot to know
of it. Wilson has always en
joyed the reputation of being a
moral town a town in m hich
the baser vices did not nourish
because the people would not
permit them to live. We are
proud of that reputation and it
is because of our lave for Wil
son that we propose directing
the attention of our people to
two places that threaten the
welfare of the community more
than anything else in our midst.
Nearly every man ia the com"
munity (except, of course, our
vigilant Town Authorities)
knows that there is a gamb
ling hell kept open in our
midst. Night after night, day
'after day, and be it said with a
blush of shame, even the hal
lowed Sabbath is desecrated by
tire gamblers in this hell.
The Advance asks the Town
Authorities why this is per
mitted ? There has been a time
. when men who made (?) a liveli
"hbod by keeping such places
were arrested and the outraged
law avenged. True it is that
the men guilty at that time
were not reared in our midst,
but should that affect the course
of justice.
'" CUB RALEIGH LEITE2.
Raleigh, N. C., Dec: 2, 1888;
There is great need oa new law
for securing the working of the
Public Roads. The present law
has given us miserable iroads and
it i8 an unjust law. t compels
the man who has nothing to con
tribute as much to the working of
the public roads as a man worth
one hundred thousand dollars. Any
Bystem that is so burdettaome and
av unjust to ine poorer class of our
population ought to be changed. I
nave always advocated! a mixed
system of keeping up the Dublic
roads. I think a small tax oiwrht to
be levied on all property owners
tor that purpose aud that in addi
iiou to lue tax every maai ought to
be compelled to work the loads
given number of days.; This will
maKe every man contribute his
QUOta tO tllfi tpcninir nf'wnn.l r-.v.wla
but it will not unjustly $ax the poor
as mucn as tne rich are made to
pay. The men most competent to'
devise a good system of securing j
public roads are the farmers, who!
compose seventy-five nier cent, of
our population. Theyve every-,
where di-scussing methods and en
deavoring to agree upon a wise
measure. I trust that they will
make one that will please the
people and will give us better
roads. - i T i

THE MESSAGE-
Ir. Cleveland's final message
te Congress shows that he has
not abated one particle in the
theory with which he began his
administration that "a public
office Is a public trust" which
must be discharged for the good
of the people .With the same
manliness and persistency that
has marked all his official ut
terances, he again declares that
unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation, and does it with a ful
ness and iteration that show
how deeply this principle has
become welded into his convic
tions, In other words, you are
impressed, in reading his mes
sage, that his .public policy is
not a mere pretext for partisan
ends against the course, of his
opponents, but as In reality the
product of his conscience. His
presentation of this subject in
the present message, in point of
brevity, comprehensiveness and
simplicity, does not equal the
document upon which the cam
paign was fought, but it is
nevertheless characterized by
the same firmness and states
manlike tone; Perhaps the most
ptrikmg feature of this message
is nis severe castigation or our
legislators forgiving precedence
. to bills relating to private cor
porate interests over those that
pertain to the welfare of the
whole people. Of Mr. Cleveland
It may be slid with a truthful
"Hess whlciLcould not apply to
his predecassors, and, according
to present appearances, will
probably fict apply to his im
, mediate successor, that in his
purposes he has endeavored to
grasp the whole country with
out reference to section, race, or
condition. As the last author
ized expression of principle of
the only Democratic adminis
tration in twenty-five years, it
may be registered as the crown
, ing effort of the only public
omcial who has dared to cal
nacK , tne guardians or . our
national interests to the pur?
pose for which the government
was founded.

would give us more pleasure j
than the promotion of Mr. i
Long. He is a . yoang man of t
sterling integrity-a man of !
