EDENTON, NOV., 1, '87.
EDITORIAL.
Edenton wants manufacturing en
terprises something that will make
the town more self-supporting and
independent. Give us factories and
flhops that employ labor.
Mr. Eugene G. Harre!, Editor of
the North Carolina. Teacher and
Secretary of the North Carolina
Teachers' Assembly, has been chosen
as Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society. The selection is a good one.
He is, in very way, capable to fill the
position.
The Fisherman & Farmer was
represented at the Fair by its pleas
ant Editor and Proprietor, Howard
Mitchell, but We suspect he came to
the Fair to see the Fair and is more
interested in the Fair than in the Fair.
-Economist.
Right, we were at the Fair. We love
to attend a Fair, and we are glad we
were there, if the weather was not
fair.
In the last speech of that grand old
Roman, Allan G. Thurman, one of
the handsomest tributes is paid to
Grover Cleveland that could be paid
to any man of modern times. The
re-election of a Democratic President
he considers the main hope of the
nation and the nomination of Cleve
land a safe guarantee of the contin
uance of his party in power. The old
man is wise in council and doubtless
the country will recoguize in his late
advice something upon which it can
safely act.
The Henderson Gold Leaf, of Oct.,
27th, kindly speaks the following of
our townsman, Mr. Samuel J. Skin
ner, formerly Editor of the Fisherman
& Farmer :
Mr. Samuel J. Skinner has retired
from the editorial chair of the Eden
ton FisnERMAN & Farmer, which
position he has filled with ability and
evident satisfaction to his readers
since the establishment of the paper
about a year ago. Mr. Skinner is
well known and has many friends
and acquaintances in Henderson,
where he at one time lived. He is a
genial and talented gentleman, and
a vigorous and versatile writer, and
the Gold Leaf regrets his retirement
from newspaperdom. In resuming
the practice of his profession, the law,
we wish him the highest measure of
afirrinernoweri and thrilling influence
""'-'.mTO r- . . r- l
will kindle the now siumDenng emuci o
of political interest, and ignite that
fire or entnusiasm wnose ruaimB
d will be heard in every gale,
that weep s from the lofty peaks of
Alt. Mitchel to old Ucean's aeep.
The prescribed qualities in the
foregoing are good and, under some
cirenmstances would be absolutely
essential. For instance, U the party
was young, on its first legs, and in its
platform " were contained political
r rrrm a a rln trioA. In that case the
man who could move the people for
cine thundering shouts of enthusi
asm" would necessarially be the one
of all others upon whom to lay the
arduous duties of an active canvass.
But in the present state of political
history when the platforms of the
two parties are sufliciently defined,
when their history, coupled with tht
record of every leader who has figured
in connection with them, is fully
known to the people and properly
appreciated, we are of opinion that
success depends not so much upon
power to create enthusiasm as upon
absolute confiidence in the man, his
willingness, ability, and courage to
carry out those principles of his party
to which he stands by honor and ac
ceptance committed. Show the peo
pie, from the mountains to the sea, a
man known to be the impersonation
of honor, a man, whose life has been
a safe guarantee of future good con
duct, standing upon a platform of
principles entirely democratic, and, of
himself, he will be able to arouse all
the needed enthusiasm in order to
complete and triumphant success.
Our people have gotton beyond the
requirements of other days. Facts
and figures, properly stated by faith
ful teachers upon the hustings, lay
completely in the shade the jocund
leader of thought or the roseate de
lineator of truth. Flowers are excel
lant and oratory charmingly appro
priate in funeral orations, memorial
occasions or in laying the corner
stone of public structures but, from
the stump, the people would be better
pleased with information such as
wonld teach them to make one dollor
go as far as two go now something
that decreases taxes and increases
ability to pay them. This can be
done in a plain "horse sense" way;
the plainer the better because more
easially understood by those who have
learned to vote, other things being
equal, as interests dictates. Platform
being right and the man who stands
on it right no fears need be entertained
from the people. They are always
right. Col. R. B. Creecy can carry
the State. So we have said before, so
say we now, and so we shall continue
to say till the Convention finishes its
work.

success.
From all quarters of our grand old
State the newspaper guardians of her
interest are making suitable selections
of candidates for the office of Gover
nor. The Wilson Mirror asks the
question :
Where is the man whose magnetic
influence and thrilling powers of in
spiration will stir and quicken the
throbbings of enthusiasm in the
bosom of the lone fisherman on the
sea cost, as his boat goes drifting on
the murky waters, even as they will
electrify the pulse of the mountain
hunter as his foot-falls alone break
the silence of the everlasting and
solitary recesses of his own loved
tramping ground? Where is the
man who can start that thundering
shout of enthusiasm whose peals will
leap from mountain crag to valley,
and from hill to vale, and from the
rippling rill to the splashing brooklet,
and not lose one echo of its music
until it has swept over the entire
State, and mingled its thrilling notes
with the murmur of tides as they sink
into sleep upon the bosom of the sea?"
To this the Greensboro Patriot
makes reply :
Brother, your head is level. That
j8 the kind of man we need, and that
js the man wt must have, so that his
