No one more than he enjoys mingling with and talking for, to and with the people, but in order that he may continue in the future as in the past to be able to render them .service in vital matters, he finds it necessary now to en joy a brief quiet season. THE REMOVAL OF MAJOR IIEARTT. We have often heard that political par ties were soulless, and since the removal of Major Ileartt from the office of Chief ot Police of the city of Raleigh by the 'Democratic machine, we are inclined to believe the charge. Major Heartt had for seventeen years filled, not only effi ciently but acceptably to the people gen erally, almost regardless of politics, the place from which he was removed. He has given the best years of his life to the faithful performance of the duties of the office through all these years and under all circumstances, and now that he has broken down his health in zealously do ing his duty in guarding the property of the people and preserving the peace. We say it boldly and defiantly that it was not only uncalled for but unexpected that the Board should remove him at this time. It is not enough to say that he was superannuated, or any other silly charge charge of the kind, for every one knows that while his health may not be as good as in days of yore, nor he as strong as heretofore, yet he was suffi ciently able to fill every duty required of him to the satisfaction of the people, if not to that of the political bosses who have been given a little brief authority in this city. If he was incapacitated for work, why did the Board elect him to stay on duty as Assistant Chief of Police with the duties of a turn-key from 6 o'clock in the afternoon until 6 o'clock next morning? A superannuated man better prepared to work all night than all day ! Perish the thought ! Withdraw the silly charge and undo your work. No, it was the wrath of an indignant people that caused these would-be bosses of the city to attempt to pravide in a paltry way for Maj. Heartt, after they had taken from him, against the will of the people, the cherished hope of his lifel This action of these Democratic Aldermen was but adding insult to injury. No wonder the Democratic Aldermen kept secret the doings of their caucus for two days and nights, for it would be better for them now in the minds of all fair-minded peo ple, regardless of party, if their action of turning down Maj. Charles D. Heartt had never been known. When old age is creeping upon him and his declining years are crowding fast upon mm, and while his health is even failing him, and with an untarnished official record of seventeen years behind him, and after working hard for the success of his party and advising his friends to the do same, he is ruthlessly cast aside by the caucus of his party, for no other reason than to make place for another who has no spe cial fitness for the place nor prior claims . thereto. It is not as a partisan that we write these lines, but as a humantarian who believes in seeing all men treated fairly, and especially by those with whom they are affiliated politically. This treat ment of Major Heartt by these Demo cratic Aldermen, in obedience to the dic tates of king caucus, will be repudiated by the justly indignant people of this city. If it had been known before the election that Major Heartt would have been removed, the result of the election would doubtless have been different. A MATTER OF 1MP0RTASCE. We desire the ear of every school teach er, as well as friend of education, for just a moment, in order that we may lay be fore them a matter of very great import ance. Section 6 of the school law enacted by the last Legislature says: "The Board of County Commissioners, together with the Clerk of the Superior Court and the Reg ister of Deeds of each county, shall on the first Monday in June, 1897, and triennial ly thereafter, elect three men of their county, of good business qualifications and known to be in favor of public edu cation, who shall constitute a county board of education, which board shall enter upon the duties of their office on the first Monday in July following their election, and shall assume all the powers and duties which the County Commis sioners now have, regarding the public school matters of the county." The main point that we want to impress at present is that we want to urge that a colored man be selected as a member of this board for the various counties of the State except possibly the extreme western coun ties, where there are very few if any col ered people. We insist that our school interests are sufficiently important to en title us to one representative at least on each of these boards, and we submit that we have men in each county well qual ified to fill the places. We urge the col ored teachers to agree at once upon some man in their respective counties with the necessary qualifications, and be prepared to present a united front to the County Commissioners at their June meeting in support of the candidate of their choice. Because we have had no representation on similar boards in the past is no reason why we should not ask nor expect if at this time. Let the teachers and others bestir themselves about this matter. THE RECORD BROKEN. It is an old saying that " few die and none resign," but this record was broken on Wednesday of last week by the vol untary resignations of three Democratic members of the Board of Directors of the Raleigh Insane Asylum being handed to Governor Russell. Messrs. J. B. Broad foot, of Cumberland, B. F. Boy kin, of New Hanover, and R. S. Cotton, of Pitt, were the three Democrats who thought that the majority of Directors of any institution ought to be in political har mony with the Governor, who is directly responsible to the people for the running of said institutions. The little Demo cratic ward 'heelers are very much in censed with these three gentlemen be cause they had decency and self-respect enough about them to regard the Gov ernor's wishes in this matter. We con fess that this action on the part of these gentlemen was a little out of the ordi nary procedure of the Democratic offi cials for the past four months, because the only inducement nerecoiore to get one to turn loose the teat has been a big club in the hands of some stalwart Re publican, and all such little fence-cracks as loop holes in the law being securely fastened. Oh, my, how they do love offi cial pap! Let us hope that a sufficient number of gentlemen of the Democratic persuasion who are now on the Board of the Goldsboro Asylum will have the same regard for themselves and the wishes of the Governor as the three gentlemen above referred to. The Governor is en titled to be the head of every public in stitution in the State and the Democrats should concede that fact and act accord ingly. mm m Eastern Snap-Shots. Washington City saloons have free latch counters, which are well patron ized. The boys have lost their rabbit feet in the deal. Senator Pritchard has had enough of the Senatorial statesman, and it's the current rumor in Washing ton that the toe of his (the Senator's) boot would land Edgecombe Senator. Rev. Joseph Perry passed through the " boro," en route for Greenville, N. G.. to deliver the annual sermon to the G. U. O. of Odd Fellows. He is all smiles. The Rev. A C. Tillery, of Tarboro, in company with Rev. , returned from Washington Saturday morning, whither he had been to hold a very suc cessful revival. Hon. George H. White has been con fined to his room from an attack oi ma laria, but left for Newborn Court last Saturdav. Mr. P. F. Baskerville was struck by department light aing last week. Wat son and Snap Shots wanted to see him when he arrived, but could not remain. The establishing of a peat office in Princeville is the next game on the Je partment beards with Ed. Hart as post master. Hons. O. J. Spears and A. D. Cowles are "stayers" in Washington. One withes to be district attorney, the other wants some "Greece." W. H. Outlaw, E. L. Thornton and J. W. Poe are true North Carolinians to the manner born. Poe said to " Snap" that the Nort h Carolinians held up their end of the log. The Presidential party that left Wash ington to attend the Grant Monument unveiling were fine specimens of hu manity. Sir Jnlian Pauncefote pos sessed as commanding appearance as the late President Artsur. The French Minister was a very plessint looking gentleman. The Negro is just not in it, so far as me is concerned. The Secretary of the Civil Service Commission informed your correspondent that the attendance on the examinations are larger than ever before, with only a few colored men. The Princevilie graded school closed last week. Mr. J. G. Hyman is Mayor of Prince ville. The urbane Satterwbite's is headquar ters successful or unsuccessful appli cants for pie. John T. Howe is renewing his pull on the collectorship rope, and W.H. Chad bourn is making a quiet huntf while Dancey is sure of the appointment. It's possible for the Senate to turn down any one delected. The citizans of Lturence, N. C, should decide who they wish for postmaster, and then request his appointment. There are mny originals now. Mr. E. A. Cherry went on to Wash ington last Sunday to take position as laborer in the Treasury department. Scarlock and Crews have laborers' posi tions in the Government printing effice, and it looks like W. C. Hill may suc ceed in seeming a place in the Depart ment of War. Messrs. Harrison, Battle, Tharp and Wimbe ly are likely to make a raid on Washington. Snap shots acknowledges the favor of public documents from Senator Pritch ard and Congressman White. Ex Congressman Cheatham is truly a politician. He fought for a seat in Con gress, but is now one of the warm sup porters of the present Congressman. Dr. S. B. Kenney, of Windsor, Bertie county, was an aspirant for postmaster. He failed, in that Congressman White was compelled to favor another, yet he is just such a gentleman that he assured the Congressman that it was ouly his poverty " that prevents him from go ing on the bond of the successful one, and prefers his support for the future how few such men now a days. Esse Quam Videei Jay Bird Talk. From the Raleigh Tribune. Why is the Street Commissioner re quired to execute a $5,000 bond to ex ercise the privilege of asking the chair man of the Street Committee who shall ba hired as street hands, and what price they shall be paid ? Why did the Chief of Police have to send to Baltimore to make a $5 000 bond ? Any Democrat can make buch a bond among the citizens of Raleigh. Perhaps the chief learned that rule when ne was a Republican in Durham. Who authorized two aldermen to urge the indignity and humiliation of fered Major Heartt? It was not men tioned in caucus. Who suggested the Grand Rally to adopt the installment plan of raising money to complete Parson Leak's church? Last fall the parson was classed as a dirty politician. He should be elected chaplain to the Board of AI dermen. Why was a police officer who com pelled an alderman to get people out of his bar room after 12 o'clock Saturday nights fired from the force and one who twice or three times has been suspeidad for drunkenness retained ? Is this car rying out the resolutions adopted re pudiating Prohibition supporters in the primaries ? Why was a Raleigh Democratic negro fired as keeper of Mt. Hope Cemetery and a Richmond county Democratic negro put in his place that, too, when the Richmond county negro had a job and was also asking for one at the pen itentiary, and had not asked for the one given him by the Aldermen ? Does the re-enacted order concerning city officers paying their just debts ap ply to those elected by the popular vote or only the poor policeman and street hand ? Better pay up. Did the Aldermen elected by the pur chased negro vote fear that Mr. Belvin's seven boys might grow up and become independent Democrats and bounce him to make room for a white Repub lican? Jay Bied. Some of the traitorous boys are say ing that they voted for Russ, the Demo cratic candidate, to beat Jim Young. Why, bless your souls, boys, you have not defeated Jim, but the party to which you claim to ibelong. Why don't you tell the truth and say that you voted for Russ simply and solely because the Democrats gave you the boodle for so doing. Rocky Mount Grits. Miss Tabitha Harris left for New Jfr- sy It-st week. Her natoy frier ds wish for a merry journey. Mr. Willis Bryan has opened a turn mer resort on Tarboro street, where he invites the traveling pnblic to give him a call. He keeps all kinds of cool drinks, ice cream and fruits We hop our peo pie will give him their entire patronage. Mr. S P. Faison and son Jarvis at tended his wife's f nneral at Garrysburg, on the fcurth Sunday. Hon. Geo. H White hr been confined at his home in Tarboro for several days, but we are glad to note that be has re covered and is able to be at his post of duty again. We were authorized by Congressman Wnite to say that Prof. I. D. Hatgett will be postmaster at Rocky Mount. Prof. J. P. Murphy was in town last Sunday on the accasion of the Odd Fel lows' anniversary. Miss Mattie Maitin also altetded the anniversary. Mr Matthew Wbitaker and daughter, Miss Letitia, also attended the same oc casion. Prof. W. S Hagans, of Goldsboro, graced our town last Saturday. We welcome him and hope he may he come and stay longer. The contest in the endorsing of Mr. W. L. Thorpe for mayor of tae town last week was very interesting, indeed, from the fact that the will of the people (we mean .colored tried to be crushed and drove out of existence by the same old ring "rule or ruin" and endorse Mr. L. V. Bissett, whom the colored people declared they would never sup port. But "we met the enemy and they are ours." Circulars were issued, and every possible effort to decoy the colored vote was resorted to; but to no avail. They stocd solid against tricks and money, and the white people at the primaries on Friday night yielded to our endorsement and elected delegates to renominate Mr. Thorpe with an over whelming majority. At the same time the old ring and tricks borrowed a lad der and climbed into the Mason c Hall (for they could get no ke) to hold a fraudulent meeting, but only fiye were there; while at one of the tooacco ware houses was a tremendous crowd up in arms to stand by principle and not cor ruption. During the week the follow ing circular was issued, at the sugges tion of Grits, although he was not pres ent when the dictation was done. What we mean by suggestion, is a move ment of that kind, and it was put into operation: "To the colored voters of Reeky Mount: By a recent ciicular we learn that we are 152 stror g in the contest which is to come eff Monday, May 3d, 1897. It is the .fight of our lives and will decide which must rule political machination backed by money, or the will of the citizens guarded by the dic tates of true conscience I Be it under stood that the colored voters met at. d decided by an overwhelming majority that they would stand by W. L Tnorpe fiist, fast atd all the time. 'Be it further understood, that we have a choice which money cannot di rect, hence we seiza this advantage to place ourselves on recoid thit we may be seen as we see ourselves. Rally, colored people! Rail)! rally I as you have never rallied before, and show to demagogism that we have used the brawny muscle for our support and so we shall again. Let us rally to this old song in ' Tramp, tramp, the boys are marching, matching on to victory with fUunting banner having inscribed upon it the name of W. L Thorpe for mayor of the town of Rocky Mount. We have decided that ' Baal is not the God, and we will not serve him.'" When this ciicular appeared, all man ner of things were said about Grits, Hargett, Hester and their friends, but it did the business. It was a bad dose, but they had to take it. We have said all along that the people must put down this ring and they have succeeded. We say, keep it down until they wish to allow the voice of the people to rule. Messrs. Alfred Vick and Billiard Thorpe are so well pleaei-they were lawyers, indeed We shall speak of the Odd Fellows' anniversary in our next. Miss Mattie Mactin orders the Ga zstts We shall make a special effort among our people very soon for the Ga zette. We want every family in town to have it. Mr. Rhoden Sills and children, of Norfolk, visited his many friends and relatives some days ago. Bishop Harris, of the A. M. E Z Church, preached an eloquent sermon in the white M E Church last Monday night to a large audiesce. We were glad to see Prcf. W. S. Hagans, of Goldsboro, passing through last Saturday. We hope to see him soon appointed postmaster at Golds boro. Miss M. E Thomas, of SmithSeld. is visiting Mrs. Frazier, and, oh! Mr. W. H. Cook is just delighted. But we would advise Mr. Cook to ' shove" over to Smithfield and find the other one ouo. That charming and ever fascinating Miss Lelia Whitaker, of Gold Rock, was the guest of Prof. I. D. Hargett during the week, a was also Bishop Harris. Miss Zell Davis is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young. Ring rule was duly put down in Rocky Mount last week at the town meeting. It seems to us, acd we speak the sentiment of seven eighths of the col ored people when we say that three or four men have decided to do nothing but mislead their fellow men and barter them as if they were chattel property only. It is a shame and a disgrace. Some of them are cburch leaders, though. We like to see men differ, but to drive those who differ is a crime. The Y. M. S. C. gave a very enter taining Easter champhotre to an in vited party last Monday night, under the management of Messrs. F. W. Bryan, J. L. Spicer, and T. F. Gee. The following were the invited guests: Mr. W. H. Cook, Miss Lizzie Thomas (of Smithfield), Mr. W. L. Wilson, Miss Sarah Drake, Mr. J. L. Spicer, Miss Rosa Gray, Mr. F. W.

Mrs Jack Joyner, Mrs. Thop. Weston were chaperones. At 11:45 supper was announced by Mr. C. E. Bryan. In a few brief re marks Prcf 1 D. Hargett delivered the toast, followed by Rev. Brinkley, after which the inner man was made happy, acd all went home rejoicing over the Easter champhotre. W. S. A. A Visit to Warren ton on Easter Items Gathered at Winston -Salem. We were' glad of the opportunity to visit the historic and thriving town of Warrenton on Easter Monday. The day seemed to have been one of pleasure and jollification to all. 'During the day we had the pleasure of meeting many of our subscribers and friends, who gave us a cordial welcome to their town and homes. At night the Literary Society gave a public entertainment at Shiloh Institute, which was very grand and enjoyable. Those who came upon the stage acted their parts in such a manner as to reflect much credit not only upon themselves but upon the Society and town. After the first part of the program had been carried out, which consisted of recita tions, essays and music, then came the part in which all of us were allowed to participate a grand social and feast. The ladies set before us the refreshments which had been prepared for the occasion. No pains were spared on the part of the committee Miss Mariah Watson. Miss Mamie Somerville and Miss Mariah Plum mer, the president to make it pleasant for all. Warrenton is and has need to be proud of her large number of intelligent and fine looking ladies. Miss Carrie C. Thornton presided at the organ and, in her usual modesty, made each heart beat with a warmer throb as we drank from the delightful showers of music which fell from the light touch of her fingers. Mies Thorn ton is also the acting principal of Shiloh Institute, and is filling the position in a creditable manner. We were pleased to meet Miss Mary Falkner and Miss Mary Ward, who have been teaching in Warren county. They desired their names to be placed upon our subscription list. Mr. Robert Cheek asked that the paper be sent to him also. Among others whom we met were Messrs. John Branch, John Plummer, Jno. Harris, F. M. Williams, Cyrus Green, Walter Harris and J. M. Ransom, Revs. I. Alston, Joseph Somerville and C. R. Saunders, Prof. B. Thornton, Hon. M. F. Thornton and Prof. J. P. Williams. We were also pleased to call on Capt. Wm. White, the President of the War renton Railroad. He kindly presented us a free pass on the Warrenton Railroad for 1897. I hope to visit you again, my friends, in the month of May. ITEMS FROM WINSTON SALEM. We also spent a couple of days in Winston-Salem last week. The Twin City is one of industry and thrift, thousands of men, women and children are engaged in the tobacco fac tories. However, there is a strike among the factory hands at this time. While the people as a whole are very hospitable, there are still many things forever to be deplored, one of which I will mention just here. Nowhere in the town of Winston Salem can a colored man or woman obtain a soda drink from the drug stores. " .We bope the time is not far distant when there will be a colored drug store in the town, owned and run by colored men. There is no mist so thick that will not be cleared away. There was never a day so long that did not come to a close. Among the many friends and subscrib ers whom we met while in the Twin City were Hon. N. S. Wilson, Lawyers A. R. Bridgere, J. S. Lanier, Mrs. and Lawyer J. S. Fitts. Drs. H. H. Hall, J. W. Jones, Mrs. and Dr. W. T. Fuller, Profs. T. R. Dednam. G. H. Willis and K. Howard, Messrs. M. I. Stewart, Lee Fitzgerald, J. H. Brim, W. H. Neal and Rev. S. P. West. We were invited to attend a reception at Miss Mary E. Peterson's, given com plimentary to Miss Addie L. Mitchell, of Kernersville, N. C, on Friday p. m., April 23. Among those present were Lawyer A. R. Bridgers, Messrs. Charlie and Willie Graves, Misses Addie L. Mitch ell, Mary E. Peterson and Springs, Mrs. Lillie Wood and the Gazette man. It was an evening of pleasure. Dr. H. H. Hall met with the misfor tune of having his residence consumed by fire on Easter Sunday. The following is a list of the new sub scribers: Messrs. G. W. Wright, William Graves, J. W. Paisley, Rev. W. J. Mcln tire, Dr. W. T. Fuller, Misses Mary E. Peterson, Addie L. Mitchell and Mrs. Lil lie Wood. Many thanks to those who gave us cash renewals. J. D. Paib. Democratic Testimony. Col. F. A. Olds, a Democrat of Demo crats, who is the Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, which is the leading Democratic paper in this State, writes that paper as follows this week: " No less than $239 was raised yester day for the church which Rev. R. H. W. Leak, known all over the State as " that little nigger preacher Leak? is building here. Leak is a great politician and is at fued with Jim Young. It is a case of Methodist against Baptist and the fur flies. In the municipal election last Mon day Leak "downed" Young and did man ful work to elect the Democratic mayor. In return for this the Democrats aided yesterday in collecting money at a mass meeting. It is an amusing mixture of religion and politics, but Leak is as happy as the day is long." We have no comment to make on the above, but simply publish it to let the people see what Democrats are talking about and counting on. North Carolina Draws First Blood. The first State to receive substantial and permanent recognition for the col ored Republicans from President McKin ley is North Carolina in the appointment of ex-Congressman Cheatham to be Re corder of Deeds for the District of Col umbia. The Gazette says: Thank McKinley, praise and cheer Senator Pritchard and Congressman White, and congratulate Cheatham. ' Pnblic School Teachers. The public school teachers of Wake county will please take notice that the Teachers' Association of Wake county will meet at Apex, N. C , Friday, Mav 14, 1897. . ' It is expected that every teacher in the county will be present. This will be the grandest meeting we have had. Different topic3 discussed by able educators. A cordial invitation is Extended to other similar associations, and especial ly the State Teachers' Association. Full programme will be publiehe d in next week's Gazette. 1- v. jviau, xrres. W. H..DOWD, Sec. New Era Institute af GaaUmla, N. C Items Gathered at other Place where we.Stopped. The new Era Institute was held at St. Paul's Baptist Church, Gastonia, N. C , May 4-43. Rev. A. Lewis, of Charlotte, N. C, is the pastor of the church, and was careful to provide for those who at tended the Institute. The Institute was of unusual interest. The people stopped their farm-work in the country, and came to town that they might attend the meeting. They said they had not heard the subjects discussed in such an able and instructive manner before. It was a week of intellectual and spiritual feasting with the people of Gas tonia and surrounding country. There were a great many pastors and deacons present from other towns and cities. Among those who attended were Revs. J. A. Orr and R. D. Harris, of Charlotte, N. C; Revs. G. C. D. Henry, M. Beam. G. W. Lineberger, J. F. Hamil ton, cf Gastonia, N. C; Rev. D. W. Montgomery, of Dalton. N. C; Revs. L Z. Phillips and J. H. Carey, of Shelby, N. C. and Rev. J. H. Scott, teacher of Theology at Shaw University.

Whitted, General Missionary; Rev. P. F. Maloy, District Missionary; Rev. D. W. Montgomery and Rev. J. H. Scott. All of the lectures were instructive and in teresting, but there were two which were of unusual interest, viz. : Christian Edu cation by Rev. J. A, Whitted aud Chris tian Missions by Rev. P. F. Maloy. ' Twenty-five dollars and fifty cents were raised during the session. The people of Gastonia have been wouderfully benefit ed by the holding of the Institute at that place. The following persons of Gastonia gave us their subscription: C. A. Pagan, J. H. Linberger. E. Williams, Rev. G. C. D. Henry, William Jones, D. R. Kennedy and D. T. Callen. DALLAS, N. C. Dallas is now the county-seat of Gas ton, but a great many of f he citizens are anxious to have the court-house moved to the town of Gastonia. Mr. E. S. Rodes, Rev. D. W. Montgom ery, Mrs. Sarah E. Ryne and Miss Fannie G. Hoyle, of Dallas, gave us their sub scription. CHARLOTTE, N. C. While we were in Charlotte last week, we were pleased to get the subscriptions of Rev. A. Lewis, Rev. R. D Harris, Mr. Prater Serret, Mr. G. W. King and Mr. Leonard Jones. Messrs. Rufus Hyatt, M. C. Taylor and G. W. Wright, Revs. C. L. Davis and R. D. Harris gave us re newals. CONCORD. N. C Concord is a stirring and energetic town, with about a half-dozen cotton fac tories running. Messrs. Robert McCree and W. H. Blume, Prof. J. K. Simson andllon. W. C. Coleman gave us cash renewals. The-Coleman Manufacturing Co. of which Mr. R. B. Fitzgerald, one of the leading business men of Durham, is pre sident, and Hon. W. C. Coleman is secre tary and treasurer, is meeting with much success. They hope to be able to begin work very soon. Miss Lula Jenkins, of Wilmington, N. C, is the private secretary to Hon. W. C. Coleman. Miss Jenkins is a young lady with much business tact about her. We took pleasure in recording the names of Messrs. J. D. Gordon, C. M. Branic and Rev. J. B. Bailey on our sub scription list. -LEXINGTON, N. C. Our stay in the town of Lexington was of short duration, but we had time to call at the office of Hon. Z. V. Walser, who gave us a renewal, and to get the subscription of Mrs. Lina Hargraves and Mr. F. S. Hargraves. GREENSBORO, N. C. Although we stopped in Greensboro only two hours, we were very much pleased to get some cash for the Gazette from Dr. W. H. Moore and Col. Thos. B. Keogh. , If you want to see the Gazette man smile, just tell him to write you a receipt for all you owe, he will begin to smile-as he writes, and the dollar will always meet a warm reception at.his hands. DURHAM, N. C. It is always a pleasure for us to visit the town of Durham for that is one of the many places where the Gazette has a host of friends, and they are increasing almost every week. Rev. W. S. Wyche, Mr. W. M Allen, Mr. W. C. Lassiter and Mr. Thos. Leath ers made us feel good last week by remem bering us financially, while Miss M. Louise Fitzgerald, Mr. John Bjyd, Mrs. R. H. Cegg and Mr. D. T. Watson gave us their subscription. We were also glad to meet Rev. A. P. Eaton, the pastor of the Bap tist Church, of Durham, and Mr. R. B.

Editor Gazette: I beg space to say to the many young men of our race who are engaged in business which pays but little : Be not discouraged, rather be prompt to every duty, for the " hand of the diligent maketh rich." It was my pleasure a few days ago, while in the eastern part of our State (North Caro lina) to visit a young man who began business (merchandising) in 1885, with seventy-five dollars ($75). This gentle man now carries an average stock of $5,000 and owes no man. He carries also an insurance policy of $3,000 life in surance and keeps his property well in sured in case of fire. This gentleman is known as Mr. James Sessom, Jr. Mr. Sessom owns real estate to the amount of $2,000. Mr. Sessom is much less than forty years old. He is very affectionate to those with, whom he meets, and especially to the old or dis tressed. I spent very pleasant momenta with Mr. Sessom, and I was much de lighted in hearing him tell how he has conducted his business in the past and how be conducts it now, but for lack of time and space I will not mention it here. At some other time I will give our busi ness young men the benefit of his views. A Subscriber. JAMES S. LANIER, Attorney at Law, WINSTON, N. C.
