The Teachers' Institute month-, ly educational . journal published by E. L. Kellogg & Co., of New York, is one of the best education-. al papers for teachers we ever ex amined. Recently a North Caro lina supplement, with Professor Charles J. Parker, of Raleigh, a teacher of experience and ability, as editor, has been added, which makes it of still greater interest and benefit to North Carolina teachers, and it should be in the hands of every teacher in the State. A teacher who does not read edu cational journals cannot expect to keep up with the profession and is sooner or later relegated to the rear. ' OUR COUNTY OFFICERS. ' The county commissioners, and other county officers elected at the recent election, qualified last Mon day for a term of two years. It is generally, admitted that we have an excellent board of commission ers who look well to the interest of the county and are conscientious in the discharge of their duty; and the new officers Register of Deeds, Sheriff,Treasurer and Clerk (the later two succeeding them selves) would be hard to improve upon; and the xeople of Northamp ton are to be congratulated upon Thaving such men to administer the county affairs. The new register of deetr M. F. Stancell, has served as sheriff for. a number of years and everybody seems to be his friend; hs strongest political op ponents were bound to admit that he was a good officer. He carries into his new office the good will of everybody. r Mr. W. H. Buffaloe, the new sheriff, is an experienced officer, having served the countv faithful -ly for a number of years as consta ble and deputy sheriff. Though he has always been a consistent Republican he has never been an offensive partisan and has always retained the respect and.confidence of "Iris political opponents. He was the only Republican elected in this county at the recent election, running several hundred ahead of his ticket, though a good man was opposing him. That he will make a good sheriff and serve his county well no one who knows him doubts. Mr. J. A. Burgwyn is a model treasurer and we feel safe in saying that his superior could not be found in the whole State of North Caro lina. It is enough to say of J. T. Fly the, Clerk of the Superior Court, that he was elected without opposi tion to succeed himself, though four countv conventions were held and aspirants for office were nu merous. It is the duty of all good citizens to uphold and support their officers in ..all they do lor the best interest of the county and State, regardless of their political affiliations; and when criticisms are necessary crit icise openly, manfully, in a manner to correct abuses and protect the people rather than for party gains. A Great Man Gone. The death, in Atlanta, of Hon. Joseph Emerson Brown, ex-gov- ernor, ex-chief justice and ex-United States sena tor of Georgia, re moves from the scenes of earth one of the most remarkable men of the century. He was one of the very brilliant examples of that freedom of opportunity i in America that favors-the-self-mak-ihg of a man and opens to the worthy the loftiest stations of power and usefulness. In his early days "Joe Brown" (for by that familiar name the people of Georgia have always known him) drove a little steer from his mountain cabin-home to the little hill village of Gaddistown to sell wood" he had felled on the mountain sides. .He learned5 ev ery lesson that poverty has to teach and found in her enforced precepts the principles of his fit ture progress, -power and wealth He got for himself a scant educa tion and then laboriously he mas tered the science of law. Having the esteem and sympathy of his mountaineer friends he rose rap idly to a good rractice, to a seat in the legislature and then to a seat on the bench. He was al ways a cool, studious, thinking lhilosophic man and his eyery word and action carried with it the credentials of sound judgment and a solid convection of right and duty One dav while binding wheat in the field near his humble home he was hailed, to tbe fence by a swift rider who told him that he Joe Brown had been nominated by his party for governor of the state. Astonished, but confident ly, he declared his determination to be elected, and he was, after a brilliant1 and hard-fought cam- Three times afterward he was re-elected and his incumben cy covered the whole period of the war. It was Governor Brown who committed the first and onlv gen uine act of treason against .the Uni ted S ta tes by hi s seizu res of the arsenal aAugusta and Fort Pulaski at Savannah prior to any. proclamation of hostilities from ) either side. After the war he I was arrested and imprisoned for a season, but released by Presi dent Johnson. Returning home to Georgia he soon brought upon himself the objurations of the na tive people by advising an accept ance of reconstruction measures, declaring himself for Grant for president and openly identifying himself with the Republican par ty. Tiiat !)arty elected him chief ! . . ' justice ot tae supreme Court of i suxn-eme court oU tiie state. But after the recla-J mation of the state by the Deino-J "v - '" .".-'. . crats he resigned and in time made known and proved that he had acteS with the Republicans only that he might save his peo ple from many evils, and by get ting' power to himself conserve their best interestswhieh he did. When General Gordon resigned from the United States senate in 1861, ex-Governor Brown was&p poi sited to till the vacancy. He was svihsequently elected to Mil out the term and re-elected at its expiration for a full term. In the se: iat9 he was a consiicuous iig- u :e, wise counsellor and a most careful legislator He was a 'good man, a Christian and a helper of the poor. He amassed a great fortune, but that which he gained and that was bet ter than gold was the affection of the people of his state who todaj mourn his loss as that of a brave and faithful friend.
