EDITORIAL. A COl'XTl' FAIR We have on several occasions previously written on the above HuVycU and deeming it a subject in every respect worthy of the ear nest and careful consideration of every true Dioore vouuiy cmiTf we again urge its establishment oo our progressive citizens. At the last meeting of the Coon tv Farmers' Club here this matter V.;;" brought up, but laid oer till 'the February meeting, at which time it i to be discussed and ac tior, to be taken on it. And as it is now only a very iBhort tima be fore; t';U meeting, t seema to us a gf)oi i lea to bring the matter again brtore the people; to teep it fresl in their miuds. There is no question about its being of great advantage to the County, and we hA e if the Farmers' Club takes a towards it establishment a County Fair is assured Moore Co. Moore is full able and we be licve if a lair is established she will givu it a most hearty and liberal support of a substantial kiud. There are several men in the County who would put their mon ty in if a stock company is formed. The only thing necbssnry to its Fucce68 is some one to lead it to tuke the initiative btej. Who will volunteer to lead the enterprise? Start the ball, to rolliiig and we'll guarantee it will not stop, for all wiU'join in pushing it when it is mice under headway. Come to tlio front gentlemen 'and show the outside world what ptd Moore can do in the way of an agricultural fair. :) Our sister county, Chatham, had ar fuir fall, and it: was a 3110 cess in every respect. And what madp it a success, do yoii know? Wi ll it was this, the business men of Siler. City aided the enterprise by taking stock in it, offering pre miums, etc., and the result was a display of Chathams'products and in'lut:iie8 which would have re tl' Ctf credit on any county in the oiate. We believe if a spirit of competition was aroused in our citizens Chatham would be laid in tho shade on the question of fairs. Lot's tvery body pull together and have such a fair in Carthage next faJKns will create the envy of eve ry county in the State. Moore Courtycan do this. Wo hope if the Farmers Club takis t: vorable action in this mat ter that they will at onceap' point a committee to so'icit stock to the company. And if we are going to have it, no time should be lost in organizing and sending out the it'rmium list, that the far mers may have ample time to pre pareJW lively competition. It should i.e advertised to the world thatx- Moure county is no longer "hid un itr a bushel,' as it were but i us a city set on a hill which cannot be hid. !' ; THE DLAIR BILL. H -. - - . . '! i The Blair Educational mil for the fourth time is befoeorigress, but it is thought it will die in the House Committee room, and we think it will be a glorious deathi one at which we will rejoice. We are afraid of the bill, and think treachery is meant The Wi! mington Star in a recebt article on this subject, gives the following en lightening facts:' U "The Tjill starts out by giving the largest sums th first three years, and th-o reducing until it fal s to the lowest point in the eighth year. The third year wi'i giva more than three times os A WEEKLY : much at the eighth year will give. Now the bill requires the States to raise as much as the Federaal Gov ernment will give. Let us see how it will work. The third year North Carolina would receive near or quite $1,100,000, provided the people of this State taxed them selves so great a sum. But they would not do this, and no Legisla ture would dare to levy aoy such tax for negro schools, which would be nearly double what it now is. Now let us look at tho eighth year. By the gradual reduction that is provided for after the thhd year, when the last year ot Feder al intermeddling Is reached what will we find? The Federal boun- State of North Carolina must meet that sum. It will do this, but bow disastrous after all! North Caro lina now raises $600,000 annually for her common schools. In eight years it would raisa not more than $350,000, for the people by that time would be so accustomed t Federal aid they wou'd no longer be self-reliant and telf-hope!ul. They would clamor for more Gov ernment pap. Having become ac customed for eight years to th aid of crutches, they would not stand alone when they were taken away. We believe that the end would be ruinous to the schools. Having reduced their own sums given to schools each year to make them conform to the Federal sum pre f lered, the result would be that at the termination of eight years ol bounty, they would not raise more than half the sum now raised. In the ninth year the year after gov ernment bounty was removed the 8 urn would be hardly a hall what it is to-day. Leave the Southern Stntes to work out their own destiny alone and solve in their own way the great education question and in eight years North Carolina would raise annually one million dollars. Put her on crutches; compel her to lean upon Governmental boun ty, until her educational fund haa sunk to $350,000, which will be the case, we have no doubt, and we will find our common schools about in the e n 'ition they were in when the Radicals stole the school funds and the Democrats at last got control in 1872." WHAT WILL. BE Tilt EI The Legislature of 18S7 passed an act making it compulsory on Sheriffs to advertise all lands oo which taxes are due. It requires that the advertising shall begin in a ncwspaperpubiUhed in the coun ty the first week in January and appear weekly for thirty days The act requires that all lands so sold shall be particularly described giving the metes and bounds in the advertisement, and that the lands shall be sold on the first Monday in February. So far as we know, no Sheriff in the State has complied with the law in his advertisement, and we cannot see how a sale so made can be binding. If Sheriffs fail to sell as the law directs, they will be guilty of a misdemeanor, and iia ble to indictment; while if he sells regardless the property owners can make him suffer. They are in an awkward predicament, and no mis take, and how they will extricate themselves is more than we can see. We are sorry that such is the state ot affairs, and hope the Sher iffs will find some way to get out of ft in a satisfactory manner. It is a good law, and every man who will not pay his taxes ought to be sold out. We see from the Tine Knot that Southero Pines is to have a can ning factory at an early day. Why cannot Carthage have one, is she always to be behind in everything? We'll venture the assertion th; t according to population Carthagt consumes more canned goods than any town in North Carolina, and all these goods can be put np right here, but it seems that in prefer ence to putting them up them selves they would rather let som enterprising yankee make the man ufacturer's profit, instead of keep ing this mooey at home.

Congrensmao Rowland has so far rega n d his health as to be able to be at his post again iu Washington. Be Loyal to Your Town. People in the Eisterti States of ten wonder at the rapid develop ment and growth of Western cities. They cannot understand it In the older cities every man is on the lookout for his own personal inter ests, but in the West he must do the a king for his own town II he does not have faith he must talk u til it comes to him In the recent work to establish a packing house h r the board of trade rooms presented the appearance of a po i ical headquirter.8 wher two pro minent candidates were running neck and neck for some important office. Among the advocates of the enterprise is required a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together and that is exactly the way they pulled. "In speaking further upon ihis subject an observant exchange says: We use the word loyal in a een eral sense appertaining to the coun try, but it is applicable to almost every phase ot life We may be loyal to our country, to our wives and loverst and we can be loyal to each other in our business rela tiotis. The greatness of our coun try, the happiness of a people and tha success in our bui :es rela tions all depend upon the loyalty of the individuals. Upon our loyalty to our tow.i depends its growth aod prosperity. Fa h city and hamlet has its ad vjctags. A luyalty to those ad vantages in its life. First, we must in our trading and buying patronize those tr d s and busi nesses in onr city instead of going to neighboring or distant towns. We are oblig d to do this, because if our fellow citizen is doing his duty by us he is pa ron zing us jM O Jr business or calling. If jthe clothing merchant goes to another city for his stoves, the hardware maa is justified in going to the o her town for his dry goods. Should such things become general in any one town the dissolution of thtt town is not far off. In no oilier business in a city more than in the newspaper and printing business does this disloyalty, shows itsilf, and no other business in the city can be or is more loyal to the town than the newspaper or prin ting office. Should a newspaper foreven a short time ignore the in terests of the city in which it is published, a cry and a complaint would go up from every hand. If we will for a moment stop to con sider the injustice we are doiog when wi are going off to another to purchase our comforts and nec essities; if we will consider that we are disloyal to those that have join ed with us to build up a commun ity, we will not do so unjust and disloyal an act We become trai tors to those who are loyal to us and to whom we are under obliga tions to trad and traffic. There is another form of d sloyalty to a city which more quickly and cer tamly saps its prosperity and re tards its growth, and that is, to live in one city and have interests in another. This is keenly tflt when these cities are rival towns.! Ciioose ye whom you will re ve, ! for ye cannot serve both. Etch individual h .s a right to transfer his allegiance from one community 'O another, but it i his duty t j li all parties concerned know just where it belongs0 A man who lives in a town for no other pur- p se thao to suck from that town nis wealth SDd his fatness, and all ! his wealth goes to benefit some! other on? perhaps rival town,, is: worse than a tia tor. He is a vam pire, which, while sucking ;h! h'rtrid nf it victim. mi)tis i! wounls. He corers uphiitreach-jXjt tt i ' llORAL P., WEDNESDAYTlANTrlTrT er y with words of lovaltv. mmim us is workin?

Mr. John T. Patrick, Com missioner of Immigration, writKS to the Editor of the Mechanical News, of Philadelphia, at follow: Thinking that something con cerning th progress that is being made in tbeSptalh in the manu facturing line would prove of in terest to your readers, I take the liberty ot writine vou. emm? an idea of what is beine done in the Old North State by native people and those cominir in fmm th Northern and New England States. The interest in manufacturing, es peciaiiy cotton, is growing week by week and month bv month. This growth of manufacturing is caused by the large per cent, that is oeing made; labor is easily con trolled and exceedingly chean: the climate being mild, much work can be accomplished at small cost. The cotton factories throughout the State have paid this vear ( is&7( from ten to thirtv-five ner cent dividend on canital invented n.ir. ing the past twelve months then have been eight factories started in the State, and many more would be startad if the people understood the mechanical operations A nnmber of towns and villages are offering to give large donntions to business parties who will go in and start the manufacture ot cotton goods, while others offer to take half the stock if experiencsd men with machinery will put in the other half. My position, that of Commissioner of Immigration for the State, enables me to keep post- i in tnts line, and there are not less than one hundred towns and villages that are offering these in ducemeut8, and are very anxious for them to be taken; especially as they see the Urge per cent, that is being made by the factories that are run in the proper way. Quite a number of roller flour, planing mills, and such, door and blind mills are going up. Our de partment is now putting money in the development of the coal in dustry ot the State and the pros pects are encouraging. The coal is found near the Cranberry iron section. The number of wood es tablishments beinj located is larg and the opportunites for such are very good, on account of the var iety and differnt kinds of woods and the large quantity of it.
