Our Stock of V Cleveland Eulogizes a Dead Friend Greeciboro Daily News, On Saturday er-President Grever Cleveland, who has been called "the foremost private cir' z?a in the world," delivered a ipeech at the nnveilinsr of a mon ument to J. Sterling Morton which should be read by every one and especially by eyery young man jast entering upon the busy, bustling life of today. The tribute paid by the living to the dead friend will touch the heart which believes in true friendship, but added to this tribute is a plea for a clear er, higher view of life, its duties and its obligations, which stretches beyond the local color of its setting and comes like a trumpet call to right by aman who has tasted of life's success andeone on his pay as he saw it, regardless of the clamor of ' themultitude. What could be finer or truer than this? 'Here we should learn that character, uncorrupted by the contagion of ignoble things, and weakened by the corrosion of Bordineas and money-madness, is the corner stone of eyery truly useful life, and of every genuinely noble achievement, e shall do violence to the moral sense hich God has vouchsafed to humanity if amid the sur foundings we close our minds to the truth, that character repre sents the real value of a wan ac cording to the unalterable standard of fine gold; and that it differs immeasurably from repu tation, which measures a man's worth by tha shifting and un true standards of mean ambition or successful cupidity.

Y, Joyner, state super intendent of public instruction, issues a statement to county sup erintendents ol schools to the effect that at a recent meeting of trustees of the State Library 500 sets of the History of the North Caiolina Regiments in the War betweea the States were placed at the disposal of the state superintendent of public instruc tion, for distribution to rural libraries, and that as there are more than 1,000 libraries in the state, it will, of course, be im possible to place a set of these books in each. The following plan has been adopted, therefore, as the most equitable arrange ment for their distribution: Six sets will be sent at once to every county in which twelve libraries have already been established under the rural library act, to be placed by the county superinten dent in such libraries as he shall select. The remaining sets will be distributed, six each, to other counties as they bring the nam ber of their libraries up to twelve, to be distributed by the county superintendent to such libraries as he shall se lect. The books will be shipped by freight, charges prepaid, direct to the county superinten dent.

Both his father and his mother were with him at his death. Meriwether is also in the hos. pital as a result of the injuries he received in the fight and for this reason the authorities have not put him under arrest.

Price, a member of the board of county commiss ioners and one of the best known farmers of the county has an acre of land in cotton, of which he is justly very proud. At the begin ning of the year he worked the plot very carefully, fertilized it well and has given it the very closest attention since. He has already gathered 2700 pounds of the best grade of seed cdttori amd there is yet about 800 poinds which remains to be picked. This amount will gin two bale of 600 pounds lint, which at the present market price will total $110, by no means an insig nificant sum, when all things are considered, "A well known citize of the city when he heard these facts merely remarked, "Land like that at almost any price, when the returns are considered, would be a goodin vestment.
