Through all the deplorable
political history that will mark
the period between the stirring
up, by those of the Marion But
ler stripy, of all the basest ele
ments in human nature and the
time when the State will have
settled down into the easy, safe,
economic, yet progressive
groove in which it had run so
long, State Superintendent C H
Mebane, it seems will be con-
advises the most conciliatory
course possible which is that
whero fusionists stepped down
and out they give no trouble and
hindrance to the cause by de
manding the offices.
Wo ; are unable to see
how ho "could ! be less
partisan or more persevering
under conditions of a very try
ing nature. . .;
We long too to see the day when
the great school work will be lit
tle affected by political revolu
tions, but it seems a vain hope
while the rules of civil service
reform are but a mockery and
'To the victors belong the spoils"
is a sentiment yet too ceeply
rooted to be successfully coni
batted. The even tenor of the State
superintendent seems about the
best rebuke he could administer
to these political maladies.
SOMEWHAT MISTAKEN.
"MK C COrr, Superintendent
of the graded school in Concord,
was here yesterday on his return
to Concord, after spending the
holidavs at homfi. Mr. Orr i.q
spicuous for bis unflagging zeal meeting with great success in his
and his ability to give the least
possible partisan tinge to his
great office. He accepted grace
fully the changes made by the
last legislature and advised tte
county fusion boards to accept
it. The spirit manifested was
good an4 the boards of 90 out of
96 counties did so.
Since a late decision of the Su-
work. " Charlotte Observer of
the 28th. .
We are glad to testify that
Prof. Orr is meeting with grati
fying success as principal of our
graded school for the white chil
dren, but our neighbor is quite
in error in calling him superin
tendent. Prof. C S Goler is the
preme court by which it seems worthy and successful superin-

The Citizen tells us that all the
prisoners in AsheviUe jail were
brought before the judgment bar
on Christmas .morning .where
they received a wholesome lec
ture from Judge Brown and were
forgiven their iniquities and
bidden "to , go : and : ; sin j np, m ore.
Forthwith; they ere tapped on
the shoulder, and compelled to
cdme in to a good -hot I breakfast
of turkeys cranberry ' : sauce; -etc.
It is needless-to say that turkey
went into hiding with those jail
birds oh'the outside.
Moral When you -want to get
oh a Christmas "jag" go to Ashe
viUe; It's a veritable health re
sort for "the likes o ye." "
Justice delayed isy justice de
nied. Delaying to " pay a. debt
without the consent of the cred
itor is refusal to pay, and causing
the creditor to be a heavy loser
thereby is next to criminality.
This is liable in most business.
Negligent payers should think
of it and not claim the virtues of
truthfulness, fairmindedness,
dignity and honesty.
