We had as well said that the mythological worthies had been merry over a bowl of plum pudding and satis fied celestial appetitie with lusty slices of champagne or burgundy. It was very much in the nature of the mistake by the Irish naval officer who returned home full of the marvels he had seen on his last cruise. At. a dinner party he narrated among other things that he had seen anchovies growing on bushes. The statement was controverted. The Irish man stoutly stuck to his assertion; a heat ed contradiction was repeated. A call to the field of honor was the result. At the first interchange of shots the Englishman was hit, and in his agony cut very fautastic antics which lecUhe irishman's second to exclaim "Bedad what capers he cuts" "Capers! did you say? that's the very thing ! .It was capers that grew on : the tree, not anchovies."

Dear Sir: In reply to the note of Capt. Hamilton, Mr. Pearson's friend, of this date, I beg leave to say that I regard it as a substantial acceptance of the terms offered yesterday. Those terms, as I understand them, embodies the idea of mutual regrets for the publication by the parties respectively of certain personal allusions set forth in the terms off red as above stated. Mr. Pearson's letter to a mutual friend expressed regret at the personal allusions to which Gen'l Jones excepted. Mr. P. be ing now willing that his said letter be published, I interpret his willingness to have it published as an expression of re gret n3w I cannot doubt that General Jones' reference to the McAden difficulty ought to be withdrawn.- - In view there fore of the foregoing, .inasmuch as Gen'l Jones assures me that the reference by him to the difficulty mentioned was prompted by Mr. . Pearson's allusions which he now regrets, I cheerfully with draw for Gen'l Jones the retaliatory re ference to which Mr. Pearson excepts, and I express for Gen'i Jones a regret that it was made. : Very respectfully,- - Signed H.

" You had on the 3rd instant written to Mai. J. G. Martin . a "personal" note in which you did express your regret for vour reference.to mv indeotednesj to you. This letter I was nut allowed to use in my address to the people and so iar as the people would see you had felt no regret tliat you tiad retiecteu on me in respect to. liio niatUjr: mentioned. So when 1 prepared my addrdt-s I felt that I might go outside th-i matter of contro versy between lis, following the preced ent you hadestabli-'hedand comment on the matter to whiuh you take exception as I befeve tne Tac:s warranted. Uat a careful consideration of Capt. Hamilton's letter expressing ' your: willingnness t permit the publication 01 your letter to Maj. Martin led Mr. Gadder to advise me that you had substantially with- .dr.iwn .the. .bjoctioaable . reference to mvself and that it became my Iduty, in ace rdanee w ith the terms of settlement olf.'rad,to withdraw the allusion I had madtr to the McAden difficulty. Acting und t Mr G i lder's aJvice, and being desi rous ' of doing all that an honorable man could do to settle the difference be tween us, I instructed Mr. Gadger to ac cept the construction he. placed upon Capt Hamiltons letter and withdraw the language in my. address that was com plained of by yon In Mr. Gudger's let ter to Mr.- WilliamsfCaot Hamilton's suc cessor) if this date he not only withdrew an that had been objected to by you but expressed regret for me. that I bad made the obnoxious allusions. This was going as far as an honorable man would go or as an honorable man weutd expect me to go. . . - I was therefore BomewVat . surprised when Mr. Guager showed meMr. Wil liams, letter of this date in which you pot only refuse to stand by the terms of settlement which I thought had been substantially carried out, but notify Mr. Gudger that you will "accept nothing short of an explicit and unconditional retraction from me of . all reflection on your honor." " v" , , Mr. Gudger refusing to accede to your new demand brought back your original challenge. Why? I forbear to mention a number of reasons which oocur to me. Perhaps you hope to humiliate me. In thi3 you shall ,be disappointed. I ant prouder to decline j-our challenge than you can ever be that yon challenged me under the circumstances. I have a fam ily to support; were you to kill me they would be left utterly destitute. Your family are rich, and were I to kill you they have am le means on which to hvt . This inequality between us you were fully aware of when vou penned your challenge. But I take no shelter here. I put my declination on the broad grounds that I am opposed to duelling. I do not recognize the "so called code" as a legit mate way in which to settle difficulties between gentlemen. My obligations to the laws of my State and to 'society, be sides the obligations I have : personally assumed "as a member f a church and as an officer of the State of North Caro lina sworn to support its laws, precludes me from entering upon a course such as is suggested in your letter, and in trans ferring - to the arena of personal violence questions which caa1y no pos sibility find settlement there.- . Duelling is wrong in itself, a violation of the commandment "Thou shalt do no muider." It is a violation of the Consti tution and laws of North Carolina. In my case to indulge in such a practice would be a violation of the oath I have taken to bear allegiance to the constitu tion and laws of our State. Being still member ofjhe General Assembly I recog nize the obligation resting upon! me as such. . ' v , ' '. -' Aside from these view Lmaot recog nize the method as a solution or a cure of tho giievance of which you complain. Were you , to kill me or I. to kill you there would be no vindication of courage, nor would it satisfy your friends or mine or the public generally that the cause of complaint was just or unjust ' I regard the killing in a duel as deliber ate murder, so pronounced by the high est authority, human and divine: and to fight a duel,, though death might not re suit, both the sin and the violation of the law have been committed. ' Whatever may be the estimation in which the practice of duelling is held by "The code duello," it is made an infamous crime.by ; the Code of North Carolina. - The custom has become obsolete and I think now generally regarded as both ridiculous and farcical as well as .unlaw ful, and did I now grant your request I should feel myself to be a moral coward worthy the severe condemnation of the law and the contempt and derision, of the good and law abiding citizens , . Occupying the position I do as a repre sentative of the people I cannot afford to commit a crime so plainly forbidden by both the organic and statute Jaws nor set such an example of lawlessness. , You did me a gross wrong and injustice by your derogatory personal reference to myself in your panaphlet to which I re plied, wherein you went 'outside of the subject matter of discussion, - a wrong which you privately admitted in your letter to Maj. Martin - la my reply J treated y ou and the subject matter under consideration as I thought .deserved in view of your attack upon me. . ;t ; . .. . If I have done you any. wrong in the language complained of it can and should be established , by. . different method from the criminal mode which you pro pose, r opportunity for which yoh have I must therefore, for the reason assign ed, decline to fight a duel; but y ou must not understand to at ;r I will hesitate to defend myself at all times, and under all circumstance?. ' ' i :i Respectfully, - -,( . s . . - 4, , Johnstone Jones. e Industrial School Inter view with Dr.' C. . Smith A recent meeting of the Board of Agticalture. of which Dr. - C. D. Smith of this district is a member, took definite action on the creation arid location of an Industrial School. This action is of such interest to the people of the district, that we were anxious to obtain the-views of our representative as to the effect and objects of the Board,' and of his par ticipation' therein; and one of us had an interview with him uponihe snbjecth4TejBi hfj-arU QuestU)n.r--favihg t8een-in the papers of the State several notices of the recent meeting of the State Board of Agriculture and its action on the question of the es tablishment of an Industrial School for the State I will be pleased if you will 6tate the truejstatusof that question. We desire that this whole matter may be laid be fore the people of the district which you represent as a member of the L)ard,' AksWkk: In tne first place, the last Legislature pas-ed a bill authorizing the establishment of an iu Juatr.al S.-h oi in the State. 1 .lis bill a!s authorized the Board of Agriculture to i.ivite bidn for the locaii n said s li oi. i hey madv. no provision whuiever did not appro priate a dowar lor llio establishment and maintenance of the School. They, how ever, autlorized the Board to use as much as o,000 of their own fundi for that purpose as a supplement to the amount subscribed by the locality bid ding for the school. -Under this regula tion of law, the:e were several bids the city of Raleigh having the highest bid $5,000 in cash and te Exposition build ings which are valued by mechanics at 5,000. At the recent meeting of the Board, Raleigh supplemented her. for mer bid with the addition of $o.000,cash, making the oner of the city of Kaieigu, as estimated before the Board, $13,000. The addition of the $5,000, set apart by the Board, makes the whole capital for the commencement of the school $18,000. The gift of Raleigh has attached to it the condition that the school be located in or near the city. After several explorations for a site by a committee of the Board, acting with a similar committee oh the part of the city authorities, a locality was found well suited to the purposes of an Industrial School. It is in a healthy part a good neighborhood an orderly community with a creek near by, suf ficiently large to furnish water for all the shops and uses of an Industrial School, is barely within the corporate limits, and only a fraction over half a mile from our Experimental Farm! This brings : the school. nar eaougb (W form -to-teach practical farming in connection with metallurgy, mining, wood work, and, in deed, with all the mechanics in wood and iron, engineering, machinery, and whatever is necessary for utilizing our varied resources. Four acres of ground can be had at this locality at reduced rates on its present market value a re duction of one-fourth on that value, with a probability that the owner, Gen Brad . ley Johu8on, of Maryland, ill do ute one of the lots. A resolution to accept the offer of the city of Raleigh with th proviso that the Board and the city au thorities agree upon a location - was adopted and the Board appointed a committee to act in conjunction with a similar committee represent ing the city, to open negotiations with Gen. Johnson for the .site, and report their proceedings to the nuxt meeting of the Board, which wi'l bo in July. If the negotiations are brought to a (satisfactory tcrminatian, thu (school may be considered as located." What part did you take in this matter, and in behalf of the section you repres ent in the Board ? "I held, in the dis cussion, that a State Industrial Soli ol iu for tle whole of the people; must be open in its offer of benefits to every man in the State; that every living thing must have a head, but that it would be an abnormal being which was all head; that Raleigh, as the State Capitol, was a proper place for the head of an Industrial School; but in order to reach the wants of every section of the State whenever ample funds and endowments are pro cured, it would be legitimate to establish branch Schools with some one college or school in each section of the State; or for that matter each Congressional District, that would furnish a small farm for ex periment in practical agricultural, and build shops where the arts taught in the principal school should bo taught; that the Board of Agriculture might, by econo mising its expenditures, support a ' pro feasor for each of these co-operative schools. In this way the benefits of in dustrial instructioncan bp put within the reach of all 3ven the poorest boy in the State. I maintained in the discussion that we. as North Carolinians, ought tq look to and labor to- hasten the day when North. Carolina's 'artizans and machinists shall be her oin sons.: We have the talent and genius, equal to that of any State or section bright and valu able as .hidden and uncut- gems. J his talent and genius is given to us as a trust; and God and our surr fundings require that we develope and use it. We have the iron ami manganese r tho produc tion of steel; we have the finest of ma terial for furnace linings, in our Itacolu mite and finer soapstones." We have, to sum up, an the material suitable to -the manufacture of all useful articles made of iron and steel from that of a ttove to a surgeon's -scalpel. In woods we have equal, resources. Now with -all these gifts bestowed upon us by the. Builder of continents we allow our native talent and genius to lie dormant, .and seek. to give away our opportunity for wealth and greatness by the sale of our raw material 1 tor a nominal consideration, ro avert the final transfer pf dnr natural resources to artisans and capitalists not- altogether in sympathy with us, wa must take in hand in good earnest this question of in dustrial education make artizans- and machinists, metalurgists ot our own, hoys r-pot our raw material within their reach and they will inaugurate naw industries and xreate .thvapital which -will place North Carolina along side of the foremost of our eiter States in wealth and progress. 1101a mat ibis question of an 1 in t us trial shool- the development the. training iu uuiiiatioM viouruwn aauveiajent and genius is -aramount to every other consideration how before the people of North Carolina- that it ia far reaching and is now preparing "material for many proud or Uisgratiil pges of tho future reiusea., ., .... . r . ,. history of our common; wealth .
