Editor and proprietor Fbiday J uly 2S. 1889 TUK INSANE ASYLUM AND - dr. onissosr. : In another colomn we publish opin ions of a number of newspapers' of the State upon the : Insane Asylum matter. VA11 of them written after a larger por tion of the testimony on both sides ..had been heard before the Board of Direc tors, and as win be seen, & ?. great ma jority of these papers are of the opinion thai there should be a general cleaning at the Asylum. The Times is clear ly of the opinion' that Drs. Grissom and Rogers should step down and, out; and, the sooner the better. At this writing we have heard by telegram ' from BaV eigh that die Board of Directors, or a ma jority of them have acquitted Dr. Gris som on overcharge. We believe that the Board acted conscientiously, but at' the same time tire are of the opinion thai Dr.- Grissom la guilty of some of the charges preferred against him, and that if he does not tender it very soon his resignation ought to be asked for by the Board.' .

It strikes us that the management of the affairs of the Insane , Asvlum has been such that the best interest of . the people would be subserved by a clean a sweep of the officials of that institution.

" Without saying anything as to the guilt or innocence of any one ; of a single charge whatever, the : fact that this investigation has been made (even granting that there was no cause for it), I demands a thorough cleaning out. Give 1 us a clean sweep. We believe nothing else will be acceptable to the people at ,largi---GoklIat The Sanford Express speaks on the fine of the Democrat's arguments of hut week when .it says': MDr. Grissom's evidence in his own behalf is very' ingenuous. If we had had heard no evidence but his own in the case, we shotdd not hesitate to' pro nounce him guilty of jposs indiscretion.

Scotland Neck Dem ocrat, .'.-', ; - - - ; - We think it wisest not to sum up the testimony in the case for the readers of the Chronicle until the Board has given its verdict. 'Then we shall state our coodusions, If they jure the same which the Board reaches we shall be glad. If apt, we shall cxpressour disagreement and give our reasons therefor. We re peat to-day that if the evidence shows that Dr. Grissom has been proven guilty of a single charge he must ' not be re tained. ' In other words; if he has ap propriated to his own use. any, even' the value of one dollar, of the supplies of 4he institution, although he may not be "tyf cruelty, he must go. ; If he not been lumeceesarily cruel he must go erenUieugh henasheen honest But above all; if he has made -an improper proposal, as alleged, to any female - at- tehdantj hemusf be made to go in dis- grace.

There are others, however, who take a different view' of it and' we are among the number, who think that the Governor ought to mingle as much as possible with the people, without neg lecting bis duties at the Capital, and be come as thoroughly acquainted with them and all portions of the State as he can. ;' He ought to know the' tate well from the mountains to the seashore, Its wants, its possibilities, and by informa tion thus acquired ftom personal obser vation, be woukl be in a much better position to make valuable suggestions for the consideration of the Legislature. When he can do this and at the same time combine business with 'pleasure, the State Is benefitted and so is the Gov ernor. WiL Star. : : : - '. ' . NEOCOVS WUITELABOll. . The New Orleans Tlmes-Deiuo-crat protects against the story, so oft repeated, that there ara por tions of the South' where the white man cannot live and work and pro- 8 ups. There is mt a word of truth. saya our contemporary, Iu this sto ry, and it elves facts and figures showing that the Industry or : the. South is chiefly Tin white hands. There Is no part or. the country where oat door labor is impossible in summer, and there Is ' no more danger to the white-man - working in the field here than in the West, as Is shown by the fact that there are ten sunstrokes north to one south of the line.: Tha whites can and do work in the South. The climate Is as geod, indeed - better,1 than that of the North, and those Northern people wh j have settled in the extreme Southern points of this country have so declared and shown by their own, successful - la bor that there is nothing to pre vent them working there.?' ; There is an idea abroad that the cotton crop is produced altogether by negro labor, but it is erroneous. An investigation set on foot In South Carolina a few years ago by the fiew&aud Courier showed that 80 per cent, of the cotton crvp 1 was raised by white labor.' The Mississippi State census of 1880 brought out thect that over one-third of the cotton crop of that State was produced by white labor.1 In Texas and Arkansas, where the bulk of the people are white, the pioduction of the crops produced by the whites is much larger. " ' Very. nearly half theoUro crop of the South; or some 8,500,000 bales, the Times-Democrat esti mates, is now produced' by whlta labor, as against 400,000 bales, or one-tenth of the crop, thirty years agx. . . . (-. , The Memphis Avalanche, In Its. discussion of this matter, expresses, the view that cotton can be raised Just as well by white as by colored labor, the only practical - diflculty being in obtaining the white labor Iu districts congested with the col ored element. ..The Birmingham Aire holds like opinions and points to the circum stance that white men worked with West Indian negioes on the Pana ma canal, in a tropical climate much hotter than any part of the South worked harder, did better, and suflered from -a much lightei mortality, The assertion of the Chatanooga Times that there la re large portions of the South where the whites 'can not labor and can scarcelv live dur log the summer' is pronounced a gross ItbeL". A question raised more than once In the course of the discussions going forward la the Southern press is the desirabili ty from -an Industrial point of view, of displacing the negro laborer in favor of immigrant whites. - . The Age-Herald, of Birmingham, says on this point that the negro is a costly luxury, and cites the worn out condition of the fanning lands of some Southern States as proof of thedestructlveness of 14s meth ods. The Time-Democrat goes further to say: The Sooth would be more productive, richer . md m.ore perous If it wew peopled I wuimj men.- These observations are, however. 01 uouotrui value. The colored race is the South' and- to stay. Colored labor Is at present ind is pensable in that section, and , will so continue for many long . years t .come?v A'-: ' ---t- u The practical problem is "to train and improve It, at the same time eliminate the dangerous quality it develops under (he manipulation of unscrupulous politicians. - Horace Greedy on Debt.
