OvermBn;: gives entire satis f abtionlp the Democracy of Nor;h Carolina, and not a single com-' plaint has been heard: ' . ; ' " ' It was a clean, honestly condut ed contesi on the part of all tie candidates, and no suggestion .pf unfair methods or dishonest prac tice has been heard from any quart' ter. The vote i on the last ballot (Overman 73, Watson 58, Craig ll) showed - that six former ; Watsdn men and only, three Crftig mn v went over to Overman at the final wind:np. . o, r.' Overman dofs not owe his nomination to Mj. Craig or to Mr. Craig's contingent - (over half of whom had alreadj gone to Watson), but ;tO the in dependence and judgement of those who alter v vainly voting for MK Watson night after .night, and be comin g , convicted that he coulp ' not win, turned to Mr. 0erman, whom they believe they could elecf.

There is .very lit tie opposition to the measure and the action of the board of aldermen is very heartily approved by all the citizens. . , I . - ' LEGISLATIVE LORE. I The 'whiskey question, precipat ed by the 'introduction of the Watts and London bills, and discussion during the past week before the joint cbmmittee, is redhot and still a heating. The whiskey interests, are ud questionably stirred up, the distillers, wholesalers, tall classes of them. ' And will they .may- be for there has not been such sL wide spread temperance sentiment :in ;the State among the legislators in a generation as that which exists now. Tlie meetings of the joint committee on Propositions and Grievances, which were addressed by score of leading men and worn en, representing all callings, were bo largely attended that the legis lative hall .could not hold ? all who would have entered if they could. It nowTlooKS -as though a compromise- bill, -retaining most of the important features of the Watts and London bills, will be reported andpasstd. .

Senator Glenn, chairman of the Senate Committee on Asylums for the Insane, wants an investigation of these three institutions bv the joint - legislative" committee, " and he will this week offer a resolution to that effect. He says hQinna- enced to take this course because of certain "rumors,"' involving the mistreatment , xrf pa tients, etc., whic have reached him, at the same time seating that he does not credit them. Still, ne thinks an inrestigation by the com mittee (empowered to 'send for persons and papers") advisable. Senator-elect Overman and Sen ator simmons are both graduates of Trinity College, and that 'fa mous and splendid institution is naturally proud of tlem.

Advocates .and opponents of Ihe measure will be given oppor tunity to be heard by the commit tee at that time. A bill of this character - will unquestionably be passed, but there are some differ ences as to what its .provisions $hall contain. f Now that the Sena torship is set iled the Legislature will; get down 4iQre earnestly and systematically to work. It is really ' astonishing liow many .-'bills," of all sorts, can be originated in the fertile brains tit the law-makers, especially the 'new member." Of course a large percentage of them "are killed and r any neverget bej ond the committee-rooms.

Sec. If I were allowed but one. utter ance on this subject so vital to every, young man btarting on the journey of life, I would nay: '"Don't think too much ' of the amount of the salary your employ er gives you at the start. Thimk, rather, of the possible salary y on . can give yourseit, in increasing your skill, in expanding your, ex perience, in enlarging and enno bling yourself." A man's or boy's work is material with which to build character and manhood. It is life's school for practical training of the faculties, stretch ing the mind and strengthening and developing the intellect, not a mere mill for grinding out a sala rv of dollars and cents. O.
