convenes
The urgent need of education
al facilities for the benefit of
'those who are nnable to pay
tuition, must be potent to every
man.
, The Advance wishes its eub
t cribers a happy add a prosper
ous New Year. May they gar
ner during the year 1889 more
heaves of happiness and con
tentment than tbey have housed
in many a long year. .
GAMBLING AT PAIRS.
The Advance has raised its
Voice against permitting' the
f amblers to swindle the people
attend our agricultural fairs.
We believe the officers of the
various fairs violate the law
"When they license- men to do
that which Is forbidden by law.
T7w favor such legislation as
111 make the officers of the va
rious fairs respect the laws of
the land. -
The Legislature charters these
various fairs and grants them
peculiar and special privileges.
The fact that they are granted
special privileges imposes on
them'epecial duties.One of these
duties is to shut out all "gamb
ling schemes whereby the peo
ple are robbed.
The Advance suggests to the 1
members of the Legislature,
Who will assemble at Raleigh
next week, that a law be passed
holding the officers of the fairs,
When these gamblers are licen
sed, pecuniarily responsible for
twice the amount of money lost
by parties in the grounds the
amount lost going to 'the loser
and an equivalent amount go
ing to the public school fund.
. We would have the law po
framed that the loser should re
move? tha amount he lost, pro
vided he swore out the warrant
against the officers of the fair, or
therwiee the full amount of the
penalty Bhould go to the school
fund if the officers were pre
sented by a grand jury whose
duty it would be to present in
avery case where money was
lost. By this means the cupidi
ty of the loser would become
an agency and an effective
agency in enforcing the law.
The Advance invites tbe
brethren of the quill to a dis
cussion of proposed measure.
We hope they will aid us In
our efforts to secure the passage
of a bill that will prevent many
of the most degraded men and
hardened thieves preying up-
on me an ary wno attend our
agricultural fairs.
all machinery whose mofive
power is steam to be romoveu
a certain distance, say one hun
dred yards from the public
roadways of the tate. T
would inconvenience no one
who proposed locating a mill
or gin as the case may be, tc
locate it a short i distance
from the roadway and it would
be Mich a relief to the! fears oi
numberless people. .Now, wf
do not propose to attempt to en
umerate the number of run

by such objects, nor '! to exag

plenty of people whose nerves

roadway they would
frighten the most skittish ani
mal. We feel that' this hat
never ben called to the atten
tion of "any legislator, or it
would have been remedied. It
could be a hardship to no one,
so we are sure no objection can
be raised. We hope to see such
a measure passed by ! our next.,

CAUSE OF THE MOT.
We suppose that Gen. Sher-
man is now a happy man, that i
he is, in' & measure satisfied, 1
and that his' slanderings .and j
calumniations of our j Southern j
people will now cease. Or, ,
more likely, his bloody success i
will only make hfm jmore ac
tive, hateful and more belliger- j
ent on paper towards the
South. New that the excite-;
ment attending the terrible riot j
at Wahalak has cooled : down i
ana the causes that led to it
looked into it has been discov
ered that Gen, Sherman must
be branded as the prime cause.

riot to the Atlanta Constitution

Scales has appointed to sue

In the eighth district and
ILr. Geo. H. Brown to suc

first district: The resignation
Judge Shepherd and the ap
polntment of Judge Brown took
effect Dec. 29th and the resigna
tion of Judge Avery and the
appointment of Judge Bynum
xook. effect January 1st.
Judge Brown is a son of
Sylvester Brqwn, Esq., of Wash
ington, and is, we think, abou
forty years of age. He was edu
cated at Horner's School dur
ing the war. He has been very
j-
uccesaiui as a lawyer ana very
successful as a business man
.lie is enaowea witn a very
fine legal mind indeed. He
has frequently been 'brought
forward for Congress by his
friends in the first district, and
Has been chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee
In a number of campaigns.
Judge Bynum is about 45 years
old and is a son of John Grav
Bynum, Sr., of Burke, a nephew
or Wm. Preston Byuum,
grandson of Capt. Charles Mc
Dowell, of Bruke, and great
grandson of Gen. Charles Mc
Dowell, of the Kev61ution. He
was for a short time in the
k Seventh Regiment during the
war, .afterwards in the sub
" treasury, and later still was
captured and taken to For
Warren. After the war he
studied law with Judge Pearton
his stepfather, by the way
and has practiced law since
1868 in Burke county with con
spicuous success. He was
member ef the Legislature
'78. and has been prominent
