A series of bad crop years and the ruinously low prices of pro duce have brought the laboring classes, the farmers of small means, and all farmers who are in debt, into terrible straits. , ' t Added to this is another serious considera tion: that is, our people from one end of the State to the other, and in every nook and corner, have had paraded before them in highly colored form the awful calamities that haVe come upon them, until there is a restless, sensitive disturbance extending throughout the entire commonwealth.

Prof. William Royall, D. D , LL. D., of Wake Forest College, N. C, died suddenly in Savannah, Ga., on the third day of Jan uary, 1393. Dr. Royall had gone to Savan nah to spend his holidays with his son in law, Mr. W. a Powell, and was there in the home of his own loved ones when the messenger came for him. He was born in Edgefield county, a CL, July 80th, 1823, and was In his seventieth year when he died. , Dr. Royall was first elected as Professor of Latin and Modern Languages in Wake o81 college in 1859. He devoted twentv five years of his life as a professor in that Institution, In which position he served ef ficiently and satisfactorily till his death. He was eminently distinguished , both as preacher and an educator. ' He was indeed one of the most thoroughly accomplished and best equipped men for his work that we ever knew.
