advancement of the public in

and pays him $1,000 a year to
run his plantation,, and at the
end of tlic term of service finds
that there are no crop returns,
that his lands have been al
lowed to go to galley, that his
fences are down, bis stock unfit
for service, and his barns and
outhouses gone to rack and ruin,
is not likely to re-employ that
man after finding that a succes
sor makes good crops, keeps the
lands in trim, the stock in good
working order and the buildings
in good repair, even if the outlay
to secure these profitable results
were as great or even greater
than that which had yielded him
no returns and brought his farm
to the verge of irreprable ruin
Twelve years ago this great
“plantation,” North Carolina,
had been pretty well “done for”

condition than ever before,
yields bigger and better returns,
and costs less than ever to run
it.

PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.S.
We find die following capital
article frem the Ealeigh Beg-
ister:
“The Democrats of North Car
olina have reduced expenditures
and taxe.'^ more than one-half.
And yet by a wise administra
tion of the sume collected, they
have b.ad luouey to spare to
build while and colored asylums
at Morgauton, Goldsboro and
Ealeigh; lo help the Western
Bailroadas long as it needed
help; to contribute to the Capo
Fear aud Yadkin Valley Eail-
road until that too no longer
needs State aid to secure its
completion; to pay the interest
on the public debt; in short, to
restore a ruined State to a con
dition of prosperity unexampled
in its history.
It is good thing to reduce the
people’s taxes and to dimmish
the public expenditures when it
can bo done without damage to
the people’s interests; but after
all, the matter for the people to
consider, and which sensible
people do consider, is not how
much lias been spent, but how it
has been speut, and whether
more has been spent than was

that will yield from $100 to $300
per acre under proper culture.
Actual surveys of the land aud the
certified returns of warehouse
auction sales have repeatedly de
monstrated the truth of what w^as
long thought to be wild and ex
travagant fiction. Unimproved
land of this kind can be bought
from $2 up to $50 per acre, accord
ing to location and other circum
stances.
GEAZING LANDS
Covered with fine timber, partly
accessible and partly not. The
mountain sides produce grass fine
ly, and are rich to the summits.
The lands are cheap, and invaria
bly well watered with never fail
ing streams of cold water. They
are finely adapted to stock raising,
dairying and cheese making.
BROAD BOTTOM LANDS,
Improved and under cultivation,
well adapted to the cerials, hay
making, vegetables, &c. Not much
land of this kind is on the market.
Its comparative scarcity in this
section insures a large enhance
ment upon the prices now asked.
Nomore delightful home can be
