In the history of our town, there has never . been known such un amount of open, shameless gambling as took place on the Fair grounds. The evil then done is irreparable. Young men and boys there- acquired a taste for gaming, which will be a curse to them for life, and may entail upon them misery for eternity. We earnestly desired the Fair to succeed, "and the diligence and energy of the public Bpirited managers deserve all praise ; but, as public journalists, we cannot refrain from expressing our utter disgust at the total disregard of all decency in this public dis play of wickedness. The gambling was a reproach to our town, a . disgrace to the Fair, and a stench in the nostrils of all good people. r I An Impostob. .Several weeks ago a young man of rather "soedy" appearance was on the streets seeking charity, and strongly recommending himself on "the ground that he had both arms .broken while in the Southern army, aiid his father "and broth ers were killed in the same straggle.

Governor's quotation, which may escape the careless observer. He wants North Carolina to become "a child of the skies," hut he does not want that thing done in indecent haste ;, not in fact, "until the rivers shall cease to flow onward to the sea." When the rivers have stonned a a running, it will be time- for , North. Caro lina "to git up and git," as the colored orators say. After this tremendous stop page of the rivers, the roll call of the States is to begin not upon this earth, lor it would be in a curious fix with all the rivers stopped but beyond the stare. The eloquent Lieut. Governor hopes that it may be discovered at that final roll call beyond the stars, when all the rivers are stopped up, that North Carolina, like tho "lorn and lone" widow Gummedge, survived all tne other States 1 We don t know what good it would do for her to remain after the rivers-had been stopped up, just to be the last at roll-call and be twitted as the Eip Van Winkle of all the j States on the Judgmen Day I Wart the-Spoils'.

Prinoipal Offlcev MACON,- GA1 1 A Flea for Life Insurance and the V'Cbtton - " iState Life." 1 Scarcely in the history of ; theA American people has there been a parallel to. the .gen eral crash and monetary panic though which this country is now passing; and nev er, in the history of the Southern people, has there been, in consequence.euch wide-spread pecuniary suffering. . But recently ruined anddevastatei by war, disappointed :by a series of disasters to their crops,, they were lust beginning to . recover to some extent, when, without - a-note of warning, , they have been overwhelmed by the tidal .wave, of lnlptcwWchasJ In the North. . . , Old and reliable banks and banking houses have been swept, a way. and buried by the rushing 'tide.- Savings institutions, where the industrious and the frugal nad aepoeitea the hard-earned surplus of their toil to cre ate a fund for-the. support of declining years, or to constitute a legacy for loved ones, have been swept away; the fond an ticipations of a lire, the' bright hopes which sustained and cheered, have all been, -overwhelmed by he pitiless storm. -In: Short, every industry and enterprise,: every mone tary institution of the land has felt the des troying, blighting influence or this terrible upheaval.'"--:,J:; j c:fSlUo'a . It is a note-worthy tact, and one .that ' de-' serves the serious and sober consideration of every thoughtful mind, that throughout this wonderful crisis, no life insurance eompany has been submerged by this tide' of misery and destruction. On the contrary, these In stitutions stand as firm and steadfast through out the land to-day as though' there had been no monetary convulsion in Wall street. Indeed, there has been no period in their history which wotdd seem to illustrate so . perfectly the statement' long since made, What of all financial institutions a well conducted life insurance company is the strongest and safest." . Ana surely there has been no period with- -in the history of these institutions which so forcibly demonstrates the great truth, which for years has been . impressed upon the people, that there is no stability in nu man fortunes. That the 'provision 'Which we may have invested in stocks and bonds," or in any other species of securities, are lia ble at any moment to be engulfed in the troubled waters of adversity, and that when we feel most secure in our expectations,' of leaving behind us a 'sure support for' those who are nearest and dearest .to us, the ac cumulations of a lifetime may be dissipated like the mists of morning. ' . 1 ' Thousands, who a few months since pos- . sessed wealth and competence, are to-day sunk In the depths of poverty.. When so licited to Insure their lives, they laughed to scorn the idea that their families would ever need such provision. And now tbey are either too poor to insure at all, or if they , do so, it is at a largely increased rate, by reason of their advance in age. And now, friends, do you need stronger arguments to induce you to provide a care inheritance for those whom you mtwf one day leave behind you? Surely not! v We deem it not inappropriate here to ad vert to the fact that since the war a number of life insurance companies have been per fected and organized in the South, which, for lack of confidence would now have en larged there sphere of usefulness saving mlfiion tt lrrve-4cnntinoiJrdowntn)duVn ' South, where capital is so much needed. Strange as it may appear, yet the fact exists, that the people of the South have shown too little faith iu their own institutions Yet, there is offered to their patronage as strong a company, for its age, as any in the land and in many respects stronger. ' . With a paid in capital of $160,000 00, it has under its charter a deposit of $100,000 00 with the Comptroller-General of the State of Georgia: $50,000 00, in like manner, in South Caro lina, and a reserve of capital ot $350,000 00, which can be legally called in at any time when it may be needed. Now, when we consider that other - com- Knies have their entire capital invested in eir business, it is not too much to say that the reserve capital of the " Cotton States V furnishes an element of strength not posses sed by others. , ..'....: You have an opportunity, people of the South, to make this the largest and strong est company in the land. Will you not, then, come to our aid? Will it not give you some satisfaction and pride to see, In your own section, a company second to none: an in stitution in which you will feel that the best interests of loved ones will be committed to the honest keeping of men whom you know personally or by reputation, Instead of trust ing to men unknown to you, and who have boasted of the number of Southern' policies forfeited by the war; which Were more than sufficient to pay all of their own war risks.
