scrotal rupture. It Is one year ago to-day that I
rewired yor treatment I liars tested the cure
by going without the appliance. My business is
that of a loeomoUre engineer. My rupture, as you
will recall to your mind, was similar to Mr. Jor
dan's, in your pamphlet ol illustrations. . .
I was ruptured in the year 1868, while In the
army, I have tried spring and elastic trusses with
great discomfort and Injury, my rupture always
growing worse. Finding I must get some relief or
give up my business, I determined to try you as a
last resort, and I must say that I found your treat
ment a complete success. .My Improvement and
eure have, considering my terrible condition, sur
prised my friends as well as myself. During your
treatment'! have worked hard In my business, en
JoyiM lnthaafety aadeomfort, and have sot lost
a day's work. My general: health has been also
lmproa I will take pleasure in recommending
the afflicted to you whenever I have an opportu
nity. You may publish this letter for the benefit of hu
manity. Uuy address is 211 East 44th street

Since the reduction of Dr. Sherman's terms,
thousands are crowding upon him for treatment,
gladly throwing away their gripping, irksome, dis
piriting, and llfe-punishlng trusses. His treat
ment for this affliction makes the patient comfor
table and safe in the performance of every kind
of exercise or labor. It is a grand thing, and those
who are ruptured and do not provide themselves
with lt must endure the dangers of that precari

life. Thousands of those cured give the most flat

He is the author and uaventor of his popular sys

MATERIAL TJITK RESTS OF NORTH
OAROLlIf A AND THE RELA
TIONS OF THE PRESS
THERETO,
Delivered Before Mie jnU AtumsU
By John
D.
Cameron, Eq.,
Kecerdtr.
of the Durham
Mr. President and Gentlemen qf the
Association:
When our association was organ
ized at Goldsboro eight years ago, it
was with circumscribed purpose and
somewhat ; uncertain aitw.. , its mem
f bers were mostly strangers to each other
and there djui oeen dt utljei pretious
consultation to secure concert of action.
They came together without definite
object farther than to effect certain
business measures for the benefit of the
craft; to promote good nnderstanding
with each other, and to ameliorate the
temper of a profession somewhat prone
to the interchange of unpleasant acri
monies. As time. wore, on, :the good
effects of the association began to be
observable in the improved tone of the
press, in the growth of kindly feeling,
in the softening of even political as
perities. , The day for the annual meet
ing was awaited with impatience. It
was welcomed as the era-of good fel
lowship; as a period when, for once in
the year, the cares of editorial life were
thrown heartily away, and the editor
gave himself up to the full enjoyment
of that importance which each one
feels, in his innef consciousness to be
his due as the light and guide of his
fellow man ; but which all the rest of
the year he has to keep in strict sub
jection and hid with meek humility
before the might and majesty gf exet
ing and capricious patrons. :li :i
But it was clear that if social Enjoy
ment were the chief end of these meet
ings, the little real business that came
before the association would weigh lit
tle to retard degeneracy into unseemly
revelry. This was a danger not inevi
table and earnestly to be ' avoided ;
because the press of the State, its as
sumed guide and exemplar, was, for
the time being, placed upon a height so
conspicuous that every motion was
seen, every action was noted. The
body that arrogated to itself the right
and the duty to criticize every social
fault and castigate every human fail
ing could not hope to have the mantle
Of charity or the veil of oblivion thrown
over its own short comings.. It was
necessary to find other work for the
association to do; to assign it duties
that would elevate its objects and draw
it into more interested union and sym
pathy with the public And from this
motive originated the series of annual
addresses, which brought the associa
tion out of the seclusion of its busi
ness affairs and attracted to it that
general interest it could not command
under its original restricted objects.
The appointment of the annual ora
tors, with true North Carolina distrust
in the capacities of her own sons, was
first assigned to "gentlemen of other
States, supposed to be well fortified by
the endorsement of foreign judgment;
now wisely and justly deputed to mem
bers of our own association, responsi
ble only to it for success or failure.
The solid fabric of permanet useful
ness was erected ; but the airy column,
and the richly sculptured capital were
yet wanting to give finish and beauty
to the edifice. It was a happy thought
that associated woman with ffyai
enterprise. She added thei graceful
shaft and the ornamental apital..and
twined then with the fragrant Wrflaths
of poetry, and shed that atajosphete" of
purity and refinement around her,
without whhjh, as in all things else, the
work of roan sandj! rude and incom
plete. Here, In the work of construction,
our labors might have come to a close i
and from the mine of solid masculine
intellect, and from the sparkling foun
tains of feminine imagination, it might
be brought to levy the single annual trib
ute exacted from such contributors.
But at the request of some of my breth
ren, original members of the associa
tion, animated by my ardent desire
still farther to widen the sphere of
usefulness of the brotherhood, I have
ventured to obtrude upon your
time and patience what you
will pardon for its crudeness,
but my accept for its sincerity;
adding that both the subject and limi-
rea opportunity compej me to present
my subject unadorned with the flowers
of rhetoric, or even the abundant fruits
of research proper to the occasion.
In the experience of my editorial life,
it has been painful to observe how dif
ficult it is, among us to unite public
opinion and public purpose upon a
common object. What interests one por
tion of the State, , antagonize another ;
what promises to benefit one section is
of no concern to another ;what is deem
ed essential to the prosperity of one part,
is ODDOsed as Dreiudiciaf fn
It seems impossible to bind all tne sec
tions together by the potent tie of
State pride; a principle so little valued
by North Carolinians that they are dis
posed to deride its display in our neigh
bor States; forgetting, that it is State
pride that has inspired Vircrinia anH
ooucn uaroima 10 cnensh her great
men, emblazon their fame, and enforce
conspicuous place; on the roljs of nation-
al reputation; that it is State pride that I
her fostered their public enterprises,
and so planned and concentrated them
as to build up great cities and markets
of their own ; and that it is want of
State pride.that has neglected so many of
our great men, anaanven them fort!
unwillincr exiles, to add to t.h nt.r n
more appreciative commonwealths ;and
that it is want .of State Dride that
selled a deaf ear to the sagacious and
almost pathetically 'afrietic isngges
tions of Caldwell and others who saw
the gain for JTorth Carormaih the exe-5
cation of their Dians: who saw tf.nf-
scnemes lr timeiy oarnea , out before
mutilated by the adventiirous, perhaps
selfish purposes of others, would knit
the w hole State together in the indis
soluble chain of sociatand commercial
bonds ; and which would 1 have carried
the State f or ward a half century be
yond where it how stands.
Not' that North Carolina has not
changed hef position; not that she has
not advanced. She has unavoidably
been drawn into the.Tesistless current
of an age wonderful above all others
for its restless energies and its daring
enterprises. But through her own un
wisdom, through her own internal an
tagonism, through her neglect of a com
mon interest, her. parthjiDation in the
spirit of the age has been largely for
the benefit of other States 4 only incir
dentally to her own advancement. She
has lost the control of what ought irre-
vocao v
yielded
lingly t
her vitals to tba knife with little
thought of her powers, with Jittle con
cern for her duties, and submitted to
do laceratea na-aiainea or ner ure

; The press of North Carolina Is not
eatirely Ignorant of the value and di
versity of the resources of our State.
Indeed, it is accustomed, in a kind of
languid bo astf uiness to point to the
national census exhibits which tells to
the world that in North Carolina alone
of all her sister States, is found , all the
productions of all the others. Truly,
this is something really to be proud of
if it had the effect to stimulate to full
development and wise utilization. We
remain apparently content with the
knowledge of the possession. We have
mosuy waited ior meir pruuutuie uao
on chance, on individual enterprises, or
on the sagacious appreciation of
strangers.
Great energy and much capital have
been applied to the culture of some few
leading staples. The rest await the
vivifying impulse of that restless, en
terprising and intelligent tbropirfcfr
ever'on the wing, but prompt to' aught
Whenever there is found reward for in
dustry and rich returns for investment
This transfer of interest to' othert
ought not altogether to be opposed;
capital is to be invited; for that 1s our
greatest need ; skilled labor is to be in
troduced ; for we cannot den; much' of
mechanical deficiency. To secure these
two essentials, accurate information
must be diffused through the . broadest
channels. Such information is in the
hands of the bureaus of the State, is
found in the reports of the geological
department and the bulletins of the
agricultural society. Very valuable
they all are, but of necessity, limited In
their usefulness. For, independent' of

certain stiffness of technicality. whioh
repel rather than attract the readers
whom they do reach ; and fail almost
altogether to catch the eye of those to
whom they would be the most profita
ble. ' :
The press of the State is, or ought to
be, the real vehicle of usefulness, speak
ing the voice of the people, beatinge-i
sponsive to the popular im pulse, reflect
ingthe public sentiment, and picturing
me uany mo oi tne populace, inau
press is prompt enough to concentrate
its powers ana its interests upon politi
ui 4U6uuui auu xiuuy uues ltuo so.
For wearily as the name and considera
tion of the topic has come to fall on
the common mind, fatal to our institu
tions and to our liberties, will be the
aay -when pontics is neglected,- and
relegated to the hands of the profes
sional politician alone. It is because
politics has become so largely person
al, because it is made so conspicu
ously the stepping stone to office and
the open road to personal preferment ;
that the people tire under the party,
triennial and quadrennial anarchy,
whiph, in its duration assaults the very
foundations of government and threat
ens the overthrow of all social order.
The press can add other to its claim as
a public instructor and guide by dembhr
strating that politics has justly no such
selfish end or limited sphere, and is
wedded to no mere personal destiny.
It is the peculiar glory of re
publican institutions, that the peo
ple themselves, in theory at least,
in reality it they are true to
themselves, are the sources of all pow
er, the originators of all public meas
ures, the controljors of all public poli
cy. Why not? They are directly and
personally concerned in all matters of
taxation, in every measure of finance,
in every exaction of revenue, in every
imposition" ot tariff duties, in just and
equal enforcement of law, in-the im
partial administration of justice, in the
questions of peace and war, in the
economical conduct of governmentr-in
the purity of official life. These- are
the Teal and substantial fabric of poli
tics, which to neglect because of the
aouse or peryersion or tneir true alms
by selfish or ambitious demogagues, is.1
Q -fafol onrttls nt 4-V. . I
a fatal surrender of the weanons nf
self-protection put into the hands of a
free people to guard and preserve liber
ties now at sucn cost ana denned with
such matchless wisdom. It is the
bounden duty and the solemn respon
sibility of the press to mark and pro
claim the wide and distinctive differ
ence between the true and the false in
politics, and by fixing attention upon
the real objects of government, and
their relations to its safe and healthful
workings, to keep alive in full and
sleepless to vigilance their watch and
ward over public affairs, involving as
they do private interests and the gener
al welfare.
And an inseparable concomitant of
healthy political interest is correspond
ing healthy activity in the subjects of
social industries, because, where by
the unrelaxing nare of an intelligent
and watchful people,3 government is
restrained .aJproper channels,
compelled to honesty 404 to strict econ
omy, enforced fainress in tlie imposi
tion of the irardens pt, tatatihn, and im
pelled to sagacity mthS encouragement
of manufactures and the regulation of
commerce; then that condition of se
curity ajid stability is attained which is
the life and spirit of domestic and na
tional industries. It lathe present hap
piness of the United States that it is
f?ee from those burdens and exactions
which make the; life of the middle
classes of Europe so intolerable 1 whioh
strips them of their substance -by a
taxation sparing nothing of their earn
ings; which deprives them of liberty
by long and enforced military service,
which paralyses all hope of a better fu
ture by the constant menace of bloody
war, the costly and cruel pastime of
imP?rial masters and ambitious prime
ministers! and which ends in making
them enforced exiles from their father
land. - This WSPnlse of expatriatipnis

like th'e terrento fiif peoples' ' Wat once

The flora 'of North : Carolina is the
wonder of the botanist, t is the most
varied.' the ' mdst 'sincrular.- the most
beautiful and also the most antagonis
tic in character to be found elsewhere
in the temperate regions of the world.
Its coast is fringed with the palmetto
of Southern ; Florida. Its, mountain
tops, the grand culminating ridge of the
Apalachian chain, give birth to the
hardy shrubbery of the Arctic zoneand
surprises-; both forms of vegetable fife,
seen mere, on tne peaks Df the -Blacfc
Mountains and then' no Where else, un
til the great interval between them and
the frozen plains of Labrador is passed.
Its forest vvtnlth exceeds that of all
other States in the Union. With the
exception of the small savan
nahs ami poc . sons of the east,
and the prairie-like meadows that
smooth the rugged - brows of the Roan,
the Bald and other mountain heights
of the west, the whole State was origin
ally, and is now to a largeextent, cov
ered with massive Umber erowth. in
cluding a greater variety of species
than can ! found t lse where combined.
In illustration of this it is shown that,
of the species found east of the Rocky
Mountains, therp are 22 varieties of oak,
of which IQ are f ou-n-'l i n Ijforth Carolina ;

Nash and Franklin in the east to Tran

Copper is abundantly distributed. Iho
most profitably worked at present being
the mines at Ore Knob. The existence
or a prohibitory law at the time the
boundary line between Tennessee and
North Carolina was run might
have preserved to the latter State the
honpr and the P? ot of the posession of
the pucjfto'wn mines, the richest in

tne Dog oro ox tne eastern counties to
the hematite, the specular, the mag

points1 in enormous volume, distributed
over the whole territory of the State
almost to the very seaboard. The
Roanoke river at Weldon gives a power
far in excess of that supplied by the
Merrimac at Lowell. Weldon on the
very site of this immense force, the
focus of several radiating railroad
routes, In the very midst of the cotton
country, bears the rush of the passing
flood and the roar of the mighty waters
yet has not been awakened to the life
of enternrise. sleeping away in indo
lent repose the years that might have
girded.her with the full-grown strength
of a populous city. Lowell, six hun
dred miles away from her source of
supply of the raw material, turns every
drop of its comparatively feeble stream
to profitable nsa' and resounds with
the hum of a million spindles and the
clank of thousands of restless looms.
Other rivers are enriched with the
same power, and most of them present
themselves to the . same humiliation ;
criticism of contrasts. The Tar, the
Cape Fear and its tributaries, the Haw
ana Peep rivers which last are the
only two streams in the State that make
ah approach to the proper use of their
endowments the Yadkin and Cataw
ba, and their branches, and the bold
and rapidly flowing streams beyond the
mountains in addition to innumerable
smaller water courses in all parts of the
State. Prof. Kerr estimates the water
power of that part of Roanoke river
within the State at 70,000 horse power ;
that of the Yadkin at 225,000, that of
the Catawba at 184,000, or enough in the
last to turn 7,360,000 spindles ; and that
of the Cape Fear, Haw and Deep rivers
combined at 130.000 horse power, a force
sufficient to turn. 5,200,000 spindles.
Thus far, these immense powers waste
themselves in almost unheeded call.
All the advantages above enumerated
would but partially avail and be but
scantily applied in the face of a hostile
climate a climate cold and harsh, or
Lone, hot and fierce, now parched with
r arougnt.no w arenchea with rain, poi
sohed with miasma, or friendly to dis
ease.' North Carolina does not fall
within this category. . Nature bas been
as kindly to her m this as in other parr
ticulars. There is no extreme of wet
or dry, of heat or cold. The exceptional
colds of the last winter comes some
times to remind us by contrast of the
blessings of our milaer seasons. But
we escape the prolonged cold and the
long entombment.of snow which give
its arctic character to . the winters of
the Hprth.and, Northwest; and we are
mostly free, though nearer to the
tropics, from those heated terms that
torrid summer breath,. which bring ter
ror and the sudden death of .sunstroke
upon the inhabitants Of. the Northern
atates. , - -
In point of temperature, the climate
of North Carolina resembles, more than
any other with which' it can bo com-
Eared, that of Italy, the chief difference
eing that of rainfall. Comparing Ral
eigh, which may be assumed as1 the fair
representative point of the State, for
the ascertainment of means of temper
ature, with Florence, in Italy, also a
fair representative or the -climate of
Northern Jtaly, it is found that the
mean summer temperature of Raleich
is 76 degrees, its winter mean 44, arid its
annual mean 60; and that the annual
rainfall is 48 inches. For Florence, the
summer mean is 75 degrees, the winter
mean 44, the annual mean 5Q; and the
rainfall 87 inches. This comparison is
injustice to North Carolina, because on
the continent of Europe, the beautiful
and refined city of Florence, rich in
historic memories and adorned with
the treasures of art and the triumphs
of architecture, is held famous for its
charm of climate and its healthfulness
of atmosphere.
To go a step farther on this subject:
The mean annual temperature of the
year for the State is 59 degrees, the win
ter mean 43, the summer mean 75, and
the annual rainfall 45 inches.
In point of general healthfulness the
btate ranks among the first. The

are as diverse as is possibfe to find
grouped together on one soil and

Naturally the first stands in foremost
importanoe, its subjects controlled
by conditions of soil and climate. The
great staples of the South cotton and
tobacco occupy the leading places as I
money crops. Cotton ia rnHrxataA

One market alone thus exceeding one
fourth of the whole product accorded

may be accounted for by the omission
