The right thing to be done by each

THE DEAD OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The year 1885- was no exception to
other years that have preceded it.
Millions of the earth's inhabitants
ceased to live in this world. In North
Carolina in every section good and
useful and worthy men and women
have laid down their burdens and en
tered upon the life beyond. Men in
the professions, men in business
preachers, editors, farmers, lawyers,
doctors, mechanics and men in other
callings who were esteemed and hon
ored in their respective sections and
were usef ul to the State have passed
away forever. The Star has on the
first day of each year noted some of
these men active workers or old
men who from age and other causes
had ceased to work who swell
the necrology of North Carolina.
Without being able to give all who
were prominent or highly esteemed
and useful in their sections who have
died during the year that is gone we
are able to name some of them. It
will be seen that North Carolina has
been bereaved, and that some of her
best, most active and valuable men.
are numbered with the dead of 1885.
We recall the following:

ble that Austria and may try I
conclusions vtiponthe ' tented fields'.'
The news a few days ago looked inat
way. Both,-are arming, ana ootn
have "a "very large 'body of troops
ready for action. The operations in
the Balkans were but a prelude, it
may be, to a . grander orchestral per
formance and upon a wider stage;
Both countries are represented as ao-
tively preparing, and Austria is ac-
cased of siding with filer? ia. The
New York Times of the 29th ult.
said:
"It will . not be surprising to find eager
denials following the assertion that Kussia
and Austria are arming. What we may
easily believe is that their preparations are
uUuu ioa u uuo w u
from profound mutual . district. Even
though sincereintheirprofessionsof peace,
each contains a belligerent element. Russia
hasher Slavophiles, so powerful that the
Czar has relented toward Prince Alexan-
der, even though a powerful Bulgaria, as
piring toward Balkan' supremacy, might
stand in the ' path of Russian progress
southward. Pan-slavic ardor controlled
Russian policy in 1876, and may have a
great influence upon events in 1886. As to
Austria, although Count, Kalnoky, her
Foreign Minister, has declared that her
concord with Russia and Germany is unbro
ken, the strong sympathy of the "Hungari
ans with Servia is apparent."
NORTH AND SOUTH CONTRASTED
AS TO HEALTH.
The rate of mortality in the South
is less than in the North. So the
statistics show. This is a surprise,
because the South is regarded as one
great bed of malaria and the well
known habits of theJarge negro pop-
nlation are not favorable to health
and longevity. We avail ourselves
of some statistics we find in the Bal
timore Manufacturers1 Record. The
statistics show this:
Massachusetts . .18.59
New York 17.88
Rhode Island 17.00
District of Columbia 23.60
New Jersey 16.33
Now contrast with these Northern
statistics the following rate of mor
tality in the South:
Georgia,.... 13.97
Florida 11.72
Mississippi 12 89
Alabama 14 20
North Carolina i 14.89
The reader will be surprised to see
that the death rate is greater in
North Carolina "than in the other
States to the south of it. It will be
a surprise to see that Mississippi
shows a lower rate than
or North Carolina. The
Georgia
common
idea is that it is - - very . sickly
in Alabama and Mississippi. It
will be noticed farther that every
Northern State above shows a larger
death rate than North Carolina
shows, and a much larger rate than
e.ther Florida or Mi.sis.ippi. Vy
much the same results were shown
by the census of 1870, with the ex
ception that North Carolina was then
reported to be the lowest of all. The
South was less than the North then,
as in 1880, thus showing that al-
though the reports vary in each sec
tion for both 1870 and 1880, that
the South was healthiest according
to both reports. .
The ManufaclurerslRecord says:
"Almost the same results are shown in
the year 1860. The earliest census returns
of mortality were printed in 1855. Now
let us tafce tne statistics of mortality in

: - - - The utter worthlessness of the
so called Department, of Agriculture
at Washington is well demonstrated
by the recent purchase ; of $1,800
worth of seed by one of the subor
dinates of th Department" without
authority of law. The payment of
this money has very properly been:
stopped by Comptroller Durham, and
the Commissioner of Agriculture
will have to settle it out of his own
pocket; unless be can persuade Con
gress to. make an .extra grant of pub
lic money. Of coarse no such grant
should be made. Commissioner
Colman -should himself pay for law
less purchase made for the worth-
I less concern oyer which, he presides.
w e will agree, however, that Con-
rOH . f, M A iT-
Sre88 give Mr. Colman this
money if it will only take the same
occasion to abolish the Department.
It is one of the most useless
brances in the country. The Fede'
ral Government has no constitution

tributing warehouse. That business
is much better done by private es
tablishments. N. Y. Sun.

OUR STATE CONTBHIPORARIES.
We are in warm sympathy with all who
desire to see the day dawn on this land
when the risjhteons objects in contempla
tion are accomplished facts. In other
words, we must be in favor of a prohibition
that will prohibit. And those who would
labor more energetically for its consumma
tion than we, would deserve most glori
ously their laurels. While we say so much,
we would be understood as saying also
that we do not commit ourselves to the es
pousal of the'eause regardless of other in
terests. "The end does not justify the
means." Prohibition is not the only good
in this commonwealth, nor is the liquor
traffic antagonized, the only evil. The
only safe method of procedure in favor of
the victory of Prohibition in this State is
by the local option method. Let the ex
ample Georgia has set be imitated. Monroe
Enquirer-Expresa.
It would certainly be gratifying could a
plan be effected for utilizing the labor of
county prisoners. This is a subject that is
worthy of a careful and practical considera
tion by the people of North Hamlin
This class of criminals, which our State
keeps locked up in large numbers for
months at a time, at the expense of being
waited on and fed, grows larger every
year as the extent of our population in
creases. Guilford county jail has now
about ten prisoners, and averages from six
to eight, we suppose, all the VP or rnnnn
Wue have the worst roads in the country".
The labor of these criminals utilized in th
working of these roads would prove a large
benefit materially and financially, both in
town and county, who are now paying for
the prisoners tponly sit in jail. We notice
that the jail of Wayne contained last week
27 criminals. Greensboro Patriot.

A sergeant of theJjQited Btatea army,-stationed
at Ringgold barracks, some sixty
miles down the Rio Grande from this
place, arrived here Wednesday night, and
reports that a general uprising is taking
place in all of the small American towns
along the iio Grande river, between here

manding the United States troops at the
above mentioned post, is now en route with
a bony of troops to Rema, a small city on
the American side, where over three hun
dred men, mostly from Mexico, are in
arms, and express their intention of taking
the city of Mier. They have an abundance
oi ammunition and are or the desperado
and border ruffian class. Major Kellogg
proposes to disperse1 them or force them
to leave American territory, in order to
prevent a breach of the neutrality laws be

The movement originated among a few
