As the time is ap for the election of various iOtncers or county and State, let eacu and every man face the matter fairly and squarely. What shall I do with my franchise? I am responsible to in- pountr5f and to my God fot its right exercise. Let not the partisan qiirit run boo "high" Ue such means as are within your reach to inform yourselves But do not li&len fo frafiy rivgsttrx of any party.

Do not help to put any man iu office who will not protect the home it i3 the foun dation of the whole superstructure, the citadel of the entire republic. Do not help to put a man in office who has not shown that he will pro tect the children, not only when they are at home but also when away from home. They are the diamond of the nation, th". riches thai should not be crrujtted. Your individual influ ences conveyed through tTnS tiny sheets called tickets must affect these matters and mav tell through all - - eternity. '-The subjects of a despot may be wreck less and gay if they can, a free people mud be a th itght ful people" There are few higher types of patriotic manhood, pictured in our country's history than that of Benjamin Franklin, as ho stood calm and collected, almost, alone, amid the hates and hisses of the Brit tfsh Parliament, pleading fur what lie believed to be right. ' Friends of the nation, constituents of the republic, is the old patriotic spirit dead ia your veins? Do you rtidly l ve the jteop'et If so prove your lore by casting your ballots, every time, and in every cause, to ISie best of your ability, for the bet tering of their conditions. And now, a few words to those who conduct the elections.' Give every man fair play. "Honesty is the best policy :" and it's the only policy that will stand. You may say we need a qualifica tion law. Did it ever strike you what rigid qualification law might mean ? Did it ever occur to you that a shrewd politician who would either buy or sell a vote, connive at bribery in any way, was mean, cow arrllir worp. than an ignoramus, and ought not to be allowed a franchise ? , t, And then, do you hope to purify the ballot by foul play? Were men ev - er made be'ter by tyranny ? It is of ... i t- ,i,;imr.! small moment to an uoutM ,mun.v as to what men are elected. But we do look forward with sick cuing dread when we see the manner in which elections are conducted at some precincta right here inourown country. It is a step towards des potism, the very lowest form of gov ernment. Turn in the light of day, and M the public know you are hon el. Men are sometimes misjudged .i-in darkness And. verily, he who ! would rob the ballot box should nev ior be entrusted with the public ! perse. This is plain language, friends, but it's from only a woman. and therefore from no political par ty, only froni a home. Tve walked amund the objects and tried to see them .from every point.

At mar.ks- Their prioe'pal business is the North end wh:ch is kliui !Ia.1 ! the head of the island the sound divides, the east fork refining the name Albemarle while the et branch is known is Croatan soand. The Island is from three to five miles wide and about fourteen 'miles long It is a sandy soil bearing a growth of inferior pines and covered with lux uriant undergrowth in which the 8cuppernong vines run riot. It is nea.ly level except for marsh e3, and at the uppper end two enor mous sand hluffs raise. their bare heights far above the stirrounding woods, and look like barriers guard ing a sacred spot. Close by them t3 a sacred spot, that is the remains of old Fort Hal- eigh. This is the earth work built ly Sir Walter's ill fated colony and in its wall8 Virginia Dare, the first white child bon in America, first saw the light. It stands some little distance from the water, surrounded and overgrown with woods. But lit tle of it can be seen now except the five serrated corners. The fate of the people who built it seems a nev er ending raj-stery. The ships which brouglltthem weot home for supplies, evidently carrying something, for there is a great pile of stone close by a point on the island said to be the ballast they discharged. It was a long time before they returned but when they did, not a siugle soul of the colony wasIeft on the island. In vain they, searched the entire coast and as far inland as they dared, but the only trace of them which ther discovered was the r one w,rd "CROATAN" cut into the bark of a pine tree. Some years after an In dian tribe, the Oroatansi was found to contain some blue eyed Indians who told the whites that their fore - fathers came from "across the. great; water," aut couti "taiK out ot books;" so the general supposition is that the colonists were carrned off by this tribe and absorbed into its bosom. Gazing on the remains of tbeir old fort one cannot but be stow a passiog thought upon them. What did really become of them ! What must they not have endured ? Across the Albemarle bound, near three miles wide, are the "Banks," a strip of sand hanks and bills vary- ing from one-half to thre miles in ;vidtb. They go down quite a dis tance and contain some points of in terest. The first of these is "Oid Nag's Head." It is just across the sound from Manteo, and is now a favorite summer resort. It got its name from a method of "cusseaness" which its inhabitants formulated. A i hundred years ago their sole oceu- Pftioa was the ancient and honora- hie custom of wrecking. Their pro ecdur0 wag unique. They tied a light to a horses' head and led the horse over the rough ridges of eaud. VrP&la off i hp roHSt seeing the ris- - -v- , - - " - ; - ing , ana tailing iigtit, wouio tnins it another ship, and bearing closer in shore would strike upon the treach erous reefs and fail an easy prey to the wreckers. The good old custom ha3 fallen somewhat into abeyance 0f jate years, and now most of the "RaDkers," as they arc called, are attached to the numerous life saving stations which the Government maintains, or else are honest fish ermen - At Nag's Head the and hills are ctr jlilir miwimr ti r liP i3fi1lt.ll A hotel and several houses have been! bo were Dot were reqoeated to va burie l beneath them and every few ! catc the hall ; after which the Grange years thepreaent hotel has to be ' resumed work in the 4th degree, moved.
