" - e are a better people than our ancestors. The civilized world is wore tolerant, more bumaiif, more reasonable. ye Lave inort? common sense, less prejudice and less fanaticism. i was reacting about the Miss K-ipp i con vention and- tjie , de bates over ! the proposition to allow women to vote. This proposition comes from the men and has not been asked for by the women. I see that it ia con fiord to women who can read and write and whose husbands own 3,000 worth of property, or who have that much i.. their own right. What objection can there be to such a law especial ly when it provides that there shall be a separate place for t!oa to exercise the privilege a place where no man shall go uultsd he goes with his wife or mother or daughter? We need just such a power in this lan.v?. Poets and orators f have. "ea ana ms aiay of his court f lionized the ble?sed influence 'W" Winthrop is c -vj ur woman, oat 11 to that influs eiice could be added a little povvar at the polls it would be all the better for the country. U linn whiskey was voted out of BafTow county by only four yri gorily, how m lay would the ui 1. 1 o ri t y have; been if women L td had the privilege of voting. Woman is always oof the side of virtu'- and temperance and.5 re, lu'ion. She does -not ask for t;y rirfht of suffrage, but we used her yotes as well is her influence. It Is not probable that she would take any part in general politics, but in local questions that involved the wel fare uf her children she certain ly would not hesitate. AJississ ippi needs her votes for the preservation of her sta te govern mant ;j ud her morals. The south needs them, and I wish that our state bad a convention that was ready to act, on this question. Here is Widow Brown, who for ten years has been managing her farm and educating her children, and is close u among the largest, tax payers in thn county, and yet has no voice ii cht-osi ug Jier rulers. The ..veriest Syapbond whose vote is always for sal has more power than she has. The time was even in my re co lection when a married wo man was nobody. "She not only lost her paternal name, but her property became' her Jhuebarid's an l all that she afterwaMs In-N herited became, hi-. She . was allowed a lew thirijrs that Were sty led ' paraphernalia" that is her ornamants and trappings and ras allowed her dowry when hx husband died, but nothing else". But a christian civilizttion has every. few years ' enlarged her rights and she can now stand up beside her hus band and iie his equal in all re spect, save government. Here is oar public school with 300 pupi'.a, aud every teacher em ployed is a female. The; super intfii'.ltmt is a man, But the sev en eachers are Womehj and yet not a mother in the ton has a " v oica in these matters. It is vir tualiy saying, we recognize your superior itness to teach our children aud train them and to give them proper direction 10 thti r conduct and tn6rajs, Jbb we f.a-.i't trust you to chose our teiche.rs-'or to take part in mak ing ruled tor the school. 1 am one of my school board, but I Pdii'iiainn a. fInzRn wo men in mv town who a re better qualified and better fitted for the place than l am. Mrs. Arp is one of them, and if she didn't give me a hint occasionally on the im- portaut matters I woulden't'be of much account, hardly. Wp man knows lier sphere aboiiCas well as we kno w ours, and if she is entrusted with the right of suffrage I don't believe it would make any difference: in" her, de partment as a wife, or atmo'lier blie is always on tne sice oi gtod morals, and always will be. I said ' that we were,a better people than out ancestdrssome of our ancestors, i nave notn-. ing to say against th Pilgrim FatherH, but I have been read ing the history of. the Salem witchcraft and of Increase Math er an Cotton Mather and Sam- uel He wall and others who figs ured in the trials -and persocur tions of those poor women, and it made me sick at heart. It is just 500 years since this dev-? illsh fanaticism , broke out at Qaiai. uroaaochnantts.

' - Samuel Se wall was the learn ed judge who presided at the trials. He was a preacher too, and a .good, kiud-hearted man. and had a great regard for a woman unless she happened to be a witch. He was twice mar- - . - ra ve andracy s reading. E verv visit he made her Is recorded and what he said and what she said. Here is a sample:. "I drew my chair in place and had some converse, but she seemed cold and indifferent; I asked hef tdXcqiiit me of rudeness if I drew off hr ; glove; she eh qnired the reason,5 and I told her there Jwas great odds in handling a dead goat and a living lady; I got it off; she pro pounded seven different women for me to marry, but I said mn9 of them would do; 1 gave her a book on marriage that cost me six shillings; she gave me a glass of, c wary, and sent Juno with a lantern to see me safe home; I guve Juno 6 pence; fear I made much haste and small speed with the widow, Jehovah J ireli! "Wednesday Called again; Madame Winthrop -not within, gave the maid 2 shillings, Juno 1 shilling, and the nurse 18 penca. " ; - Friday Went again; took half pound sugar almonds that cost me 3 shillings; she seemed pleased with them, but said she could uo't change her condition, and quoted- the - Apostle; Paul Who said 'that single life was better than a married one. I bewailed my rashness in inak. ing more haste than speed, but 'Jehovah Jireh.' W hen I essays ed to leave the widow gave me a glass of canary, but kisses are netter than wine. I gave Sarah 5 shillings.?' i ' . This man tried the witches, and five years afterward made a public confession of his great offense. He says: " I take the blame and the shame of it. I ask pardon of ail men and their prayers to God that he will not visit the sin upon any other nor upon tire land." It waa a long and full confession and he stood np while it was read. From that day, for thirteen years, he fasted one day in each month and prayed for forgive ness all the day long The- twelve jurors 'vho found the poor woman, guilty did the same thing, and published their confessions and asked forgive ness.

East, therefore, his statement necessarily car. ries practical weight. "A very erroneous opinion prevails in many quarters about the healthf ulness of Eastern North Carolina, and this wrong impression has tended to "keep immigration from that rich, fertile and. healthy scetion of the State. For a long time the Chronicle has advocated con cert of action upon the part of the people of the East in the preparation of statistics that show much iujnstice done that section by the false ideas which have been widely dis seminated. There is no more delightful country under the sun for residence, and no- where are there stronger and healthier and moie robust men and women. The largest men in physical Stature we have seen in North Carolina are found in Eastern North Caro lina, and in the very seetions where it is said that malaria prevails. "Every section has its ad vantages and its drawbacks, and the Chronicle believes here as elsewhere the law of coin pens, tion prevails: The people of the East owe it to themselves to remove the i popular myths of the unhealthf dlness of their section. A plain statement : of tacts will disprove them A communication in to day's Chronicle shows that at least one county is moving in the right direction. At the request of the Board of Health of Pen aer county, Dr. Walter C. Mur phy has agreed to prepare an address on the 'Sanitary Condi tion and Resources of Eastern North Carolina.'

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS A NECESSITY The success of the Democrat ic party in North Carolina is as essential to the good name and to the good government of the State this year as ever. Its racord of the State is fair, its public oficials have been free from eorrnption, : and It has given the people the most eco nomical administration enjoyed by the people of any State in the Union.--Raleigh Chronicle. THE ENERGY OF THE PEOPLE. If since it's (the Republican party's) first advent to power it has ever done one act to pro mote the welfare ot the toiling millions of this country, white or biacK, when seen action would millitate in the' least agailnstthe interests, real or imiglnaiy, of the selfish com binations which controlled it and dictated its policy, it has escaped us, and we have watched it pretty close from the day it entered the arena of national politic with the Pathfinder for a candidate for the Presidency. LET US GO TO WORK. "To your tents, O, Israel." Let eery Democrat heed the cry, and begin the fight upon Radicalism which through the Re ven ue Ring is seeking to regain power. Raleigh Cbron icle. RADICALISM THE SAME. Mott and Lusk and their kiud may howl and curse , and swear until they get as black in the face as -the negroes they hob-nob with, but it , will do no good. In 1876 the good people of the State broke, the shackles of Radicalism, and .their de termination is invincible never again to submit to Radical rule. Rockingham Rocket. A STRANGE LEGEND. A strange legend comes to us from the Sioux, who alone can tell the trne history of that deadly ambuscade. They say that on the hillock where Cus ter fell now grows a plant never seen there berore a curious plant with tall, slender leaves, curved in the exact form of a sabre, with edges so sharp as' to inflict keen wounds upon uns wary hands, and those who pluck it once soon drop it, so strangely cold and clammy are its leaves. It bears a- golden hued, heart-shaped blossom, and in the center is one small spot of brilliant red, like a drop of blood, t The Indians regard it with superstitious awe. They call- it "Custer's heart' and cannot be induced to touch it, claiming that the blossom crushed in the hand leaves a blood red stain impossible to remove. A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY. There is a demand for good home made jellies and jams. This suggests a profitable oc cupation for some women who are earning money at home in other ana more laDorious ways. The jellies sold In our stores are mostly artificially insi.u factnred and a brand of natu ral, home made -goods would soon, we think, bring prosper ity to the maker. ANOTHBIi SOUTHERN OUTRAGE. The cotton crop of the South this year will be the largest ever raised. This is conclusive evidence, that the white and black people of the South are not! getting aloug at alj, and that the white man spends most of his time hunting up the ne groes with shot guns, and that the negroes spend most of their time keeping out , of the range of the shot gun. The cotton raises itself. Wilmington Star.

The Ciizsns of Statesville L'nlsad Br- Ward. Brother J. P. Caldwell, of the Statesville Landmark is a hu morist PAR EXCELLENCE. He is all the time writing good things, and the following is so good we reproduce it with the hope thatif it may artord our readers as much pleasure as it did the Advance folks: Dr. J. H. Ward and fap ily, .George and allr5 lefjt oh the noon; train, Tuesday; for'Akaji: sas, "where " CheyVwl ll'put u'p.jon a son-iu-law of the doctor. Dr. Ward is a native of Lincoln or Catawba, and "used,'' when he was a. young man, in south Jre4 dell. He joined the Methodist ministry and was a member of the South Carolina Conference before the war; and Rev. G. W. Llvey, who knew him theu, says he was a preacher of unques tioned power. Some eight, or ten years ago, after having liv ed a number of years in Arkan- sas, he moved bacs to south ire- dell, and four or five gears ago came to Statesville. What the old gentleman did for himself while here was quite inconsid erable in comparison with what the public did for him, but ad verse fortune never checked the flow of his spirits and his vK vacity was only equaled by his appetite. The church,the coun ty and the community all shouldered him aud his, but the load got heavy, and the doctor having one day suggested that his sonin-law in Arkansas would be proud to have him and his family move down and make their home with .him, steps were at onGe taken to un load him on the affectionate son-iu law arorp- i i. Mai or Robbins and D.v A .vJerson be-s came directord of this benevol ent movement, and after labor ious efforts raised within $25 of enough money to provide for the transportation of the fami ly. But the subscript on stop ped at that point and the en terprise j- stood still. Dr. Ward had been apprised of .the move ment and not only gave it his' countenance but stepped up the street every few minutes to stir these gentlemen up on the sub ject, sometimes visiting them at their places of residence be-. tweeu day break f and sunrise, and kuocking them up to talk to them. Other schemes hav ing failed the doctor's, twobus iuess managers decided to give a festival as a means of raising the remaining , 25, this time Gus. Merchisou, col ored, attended a festival on de pot hill and was carried out looking so much like a sieve as to greatly aiscourage this form of entertainment. Mean time, the doctor was continuing his visits, and finally the man agers started out again With their well worn subscription paper, ana in tneir desperation raised the square issue between themselves and Dr. Ward, tell ing the people to choose be- tw en them and him saying that it he didn't leave they would. The community decid ed against the good doctor and contributed the necessary bal ance. . ; Tuesday the emigrants em barked: Mai. Robbins had , to be at Dctvidson court, but left his proxy in the hands of Mr. A. J. Evans and this gentleman and Dr. Anderson put the party on board aud watched the' de parting triin to see that none of them jumped off. About this time they are nearing-the home of the fortunate eon -in-law, and what is North Oarolina's loss in Arkansas' As we were going on to say awhile ago, Dr. J Ward has in tlmo diyided the Word. He has never given the opportuni ty to "exercise," as the Rev. Josh. Dowell used to say; .but that he excelled in public prays er was known of all men. Not lotg ago he was called to lead in prayer at the Methodist church, and when in conclusion he asked that when we. are called from the hovels . of ;tnis world and the hardships and squalor of this life we may be received into a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens; the people were moved, and several who forgot about it afterward resolved at the moment to send him a sack of flour the next morning. God bless tbe old man. He was always in" good humor, as spry on an empty stomach as a canary bird, aud we hope the lines have at " last fallen unto him in pleasant places.
