victorious banner to the field of Appo
tnaltOgX are the men to fly affrighted
from some harmless ghost of Caesarism,
usurping the midnight like the de
funct ku klux,' but much less ganger
ous., Aud so we have this poHtieai
anomaly, that the people of the north,
made by the daring and genius of its
greatest captain the arbiter of the na
tion's destinies, are the people who now
seem willing lo abdicate their power
for fear of entrusting too much of it to
its creator. But we must recognize
fad in this matter, and if Grant is too
great to be president, we and his friends
elsewhere must console ourselves with
the thought that he, ia not the first of
our distinguished men who have been
so disqualified, and seek lor his- most
available substitute. Lincoln is a good
second name on a presidential ticket,
and would. make a good combination
with . almost any (one who may sc;
cure the first place, but it is unde
niable that his main strength lies
in his name, and that is not
sufficient, , even when united with
his acknowledged high: character
and abilities. That every .thoughtful
politician rejects Blaine is enough, to
dispose of him, but the philosophical
historian will find food for reflection,
if not surprise, ia the thought that the
statesman admitted unniversally to be
the people's favorite stands not' the
shadow of a chance for the highest
office in their s;ift. Glorious, generous,

The amount necessary to fit an office
andoperate the paper fifteen months in
the manner contemplated," would not be
lees than 417,000. If each office holder
in .the state who gets a salary of $I,200,
shouldJlakeashare, of stock, it, would
not amount to this sum. - The facts are,
that friends,-whether office-holders or
not, ar offered stock, and so far out of
$12,400 taken, the books will show
more stock taken by parties not office
holders than by those who are.

we hare no right to count on such sup
port, as papers of jthis- character have
not heretofore received the help of tbose
who should have given it; and for this
reason this manner of interesting such
friends as stockholders is restored to,
with the purposes of Gillespie, as rela
ted above. .This hi the ease, and the
whole truth' of the Watter.
The statement of this .writer iu the
Sun, that "Republicans" are excited
because of a prospective "assessment of
$75,000," I presume to be the regular
democratic lie. It, was represented by
the strikers of this class in 18 SO. that
$75,000 was raised in the plate for the
use of the state committee The whole
amount raised in the state was about
$16,000, and not over $1,000 of it. east
of the Yadkin river. We had no help
from the national committee, aud made
the stete campaign of.lS&Q with the
$15,000.
Last year, the state coin tnil tee got
assistance from the national committee,
and as a consequence, there was not
$3,000 collected inside the stale. Btill.
the bourbons said we got $75,000.
It is a fact, that one-half of t he oflice
holders in North Coroliua have not con
tributed $IQ each to .thejUepublicHi
party within ten years. It! ia also true,
that one third of them have! never givtu
a cent, at any time, within that period.

It is a lameutable fact that we have
plenty of so-called Ktpublicans in oor
midst, some of whom have been pen
sioners on the party for years, who take
all the leading Democratic papers, and
who do uot- and never hare taken a
Republican paper, and cannot be in
daced to subscribe for one. These same
fellow8,after getting all their politicaUn
formation froni Democratic editors, who
of course, are ready to sho w up any move
that way be made by our leaders for the
best interests of the country in the
moot iiufavorable light; will enter a
campaign protesting aud insisting that
they know moro about the wants and
needs1 of the party, who ought to be
nominated, what mistakes had Deen
made, etc, than the man who has
learned the true state of affairs from

Mk. Editor: Please allow me a
small space in your valuable paper to
state to your many readers, that the
first joint Institute of Duplin and
Sampson comities convened in Warsaw,
N. C , Mouday, July 1G, 1883, and con
tinued durfug the week; the white and
colored teachers being instruced sepa
rately. Mr. 1; W. Moore, of Sampson, was
elected conductor in the absence of
Isham Royals, and jB. F. Grady, thie
present superintendent; C. H. Smith,
of Duplin, secretary. G. W. Samp
son, was elected assistant secretary, on
his arrival Tuesday.
The introduction of the bet 'meth
ods and theories of teaching was the
object of tho Institute. The'colored
were lectured by Trof. Cooper, B. F.
Grady and l-ihaiu Royals, superinten
dents. Our best thanks were tendered
the gentlemen.
I would liko to say just here, that
while in Warsaw we orgarfizedja teach
ers' educational association Mr. H.
William,, of Dti-Min, was elected chair
man, aiid G. W. Herring, of Sampson,
Hecretary. , Wc believe that the posi
tion oi a teacher will uot be such as it
ought to be until we form such asso
ciation. 4
The last appeal we would snake is to
the utatc pride of our ieople. There
is uo true glory iu being the hindmost

our tea-htrs are fostered and the means
of their suppwr.t increased by the liber-
