There are 23 graduates in medicine, 13 in phar macy and Bin dentistry. Wm. T. Smith, M. D., and Mr. Jas. R. Wil der of Columbia, S. C., are in the class of pharmacy. A large majority of these graduates are colored, we understand. Come South, young men, you are the strongest factors in solv ing the vexed problem. Making Calls, We intend to call on our friends next week ; in Fayetteville, Monday and Tuesday, Jonesboro, Thursday; Swann’s station Friday; Cameron, Saturday ; Carthage Monday, 26th. We hope all will be prepared to pay up and renew, and each will have a new subscriber for us, if for only three months. We have been out this week. Locals are scarce and will be next week also. Mean time friends will send their dues in to us ; it will be all right. Poor Mall Services. A mean and incompetent postmaster is a great burden to a community. We regret that we and many of our readers have had to suffer on account of the lazy, incompetent officials. We have often complained of delays in our paper between this office and Fayetteville. For some cause this paper, mailed in this city on Friday night at 7 o’clock is not delivered in Fayetteville till Monday or Tuesday. If the Charlotte office is not in fault, it must show up and then the postal clerk’s should explain why they keep the paper on the roads nearly a week. If the clerks do not do their duty, the postmaster of Fayetteville is guilty continually week after week holding this paper in the office there and re fusing to deliver it to subscribers when they call for it. We will not say much now, but tell our readers in Fayetteville, that this paper always leaves this office in time to reach Fayetteville on Saturday afternoon. If they fail to get it on Saturday, they may safely put the blame on the Fayetteville postmaster. We will write to the authorities at Washington and try to have the matter investigated. These things are hard to bear, but we must do the best we can with them one year longer when we will have a president to give us officers fit for the places they hold. The Difference. When a boy in school is compelled to write an essay, he often uses as many words as be can command, to express a single thought. That boy’s time is worth nothing to him—or ho does not value his time. It is not so in writing letters for newspapers. Space is valuable and every word must be paid for, and for that, if no other reason, a person ought always use as few words as possible when they write. It would bo well for some people to read over their writ ing and see how many words they could cut out and still have the sub stance of their article left. Persons have often sent us letters in which they said good things, but it would not pay us to publish all for the little good that was in it, hence they go to the waste basket. Some writers seem to think the adding of words adds strength—just the reverse. Some attempt to ornament their writ ing with Latin, French, &e. Generally that is the greatest sign of weakness. Sometimes it is necessary of course; but our readers are generally limited in education and want plain English. Give us short, plain letters, friends, to the point. When you begin to read, you want to see what a person is trying to get at and you want to understand his words as well as his meaning. THE SIXTH DISTRICT. Editor Messenger. —A majority of the Republican Executive Committee of the Cth Congressional district of North Carolina met in this town to day : Present Hon. O. S. Hayes, chairman ; Hons.

Each delegate and visitor expressed great satisfac tion at the political outlook. Yours, &c.. Yeoman. Maxton, N. C., March 14th, 1888. FROM THE MOUNTAINS. Mr. Editor —On the 29th of Decem ber I moved my family from Wades boro to this place, and was met at the depot by a goodly number of the members of the church, and was con ducted by them to the parsonage, where they had everything properly arranged for us. The ladies had our table laden with the luxuries of the season, which we enjoyed to the full est extent. On the 2d of January I was taken down with rheumatism, which for about five weeks rendered me help less as an infant. The good people of this community extended to me their profound sympathies during my illness. I was not able to perform any of my pastoral duties for about seven weeks. Notwithstanding my inabilities to serve the church, it manifested no disposition to withhold its support from its pastor and family. I wish to state that the Presbyterians and Baptists, as well as my own church, seemed to spare no pains to make it pleasant for myself and family during my illness. I feel that I owe them a lasting debt of gratitude for the kindness with which they treated me. The people of Lincolnton re minds me very much of the good peo ple of Wadesboro. On the 28th and 29th of January we were honored with the presence of our much beloved and esteemed P. E., G. 11. Haines. He held his quarter with us the above date. I not being able to get to the church he held quarterly conference at the parsonage. We had quite a pleasant and success ful session. \Ve also had quite a spiritual and financial success. We realized about forty dollars—l being unable to attend church in the month of January. On the first of February we com menced our protracted meeting, and up to the present writing we have had 78 conversions and 71 accessions to the church, and a large portion of them being young and old men. Our meeting is still progressing. Please find enclosed postoffice money order for $1 .50 or. my subscription. Also send me eight copies of the Mes senger. The people here take pleas ure in reading your interesting paper. Yours for God and humanity, A. F. Gosi.en. j Lincolnton. N <*,, March sth. REPUBLICAN PLAN OP OR GANIZATION.
