No guarantee is needed by those who patronized this school during the past year for its thorough work and rigid discipline in the future. It aims at something higher in education than a mere accumulation of facts at bringing all the powers of the mind into vigorous exercise and teaching the pupil to reason and think for himself at laying a solid, substantial for higher education, and fitting its students for the practical duties of life.

All over the city, the yellow flags wave. Like sentries, on watch by the side of a grave, And the Southern moon gleams through the magnolia's shade Upon score after score of mounds newly made. None escape in this terrible harvest of death ! Young aud old fall before the grim con queror's breath, And here stands a group by a lantern's pale light, Who are hurrying their dead, in silence and night. Oh! the anguish of partings, hastily spoken, When earth s dearest ties so rudely are broken. "Oh God !" murmur lips that the fever has paled, "Lord, save, or we perish," this sad cry is wailed Up to the blue Heavens; but all seem in vain For each day increases the fever's dread reign. Journal. MATERIAL FOR COTTON BAIL ING, WHO THE COST PAID BY, ETC. IS Never having seen these subjects brought properly before the public, and believing that a large number of the cotton producers do not know that the cost of the bagging and ties used by them in preparing' their cotton for the market is paid by them, and is to them the producer a clear loss, is my apology for treating on these subjects. I don't think I hazard anything in Saying that the price of all the cotton produced in this country is established and regulated in the Liverpool cotton market. And in doing that the sup posed cost of the wrapping of the cotton is taken from the price, which is, as I understand it, about one sixteenth. For instance, a bale is supposed to weigh 450 pounds The weight of the heaviest bagging and ties used in bailing cotton will weigh abont one-sixteenth of that amount. That is, seven yards bagging, weigh ing 2 pounds to the yard, amouuts to 15 pounds. Six ties, two pounds per tie, is twelve pounds. These two amounts together aggregate 27 pounds. The sixteenth of 450 is 28J. Hence it will be seen that all the material used in bailing cotton that weighs less than twenty-eight pounds per bale is that much additional loss to the producer. The writer of this article is a farmer, and has been cognizant of these facts for years, and has never used bagging weighing less than 2 pounds per yard, when it could be produced. My chief object in calling attention to these facts, is the hope that while the subject is being so thoroughly agitated, some uniform weight and standard for covering cotton may be agreed upon by the cotton producers throughout the cotton belt. It should be done for it behooves us to save iu every particular in which we can. Under the present system or arrange ment the additional loss to the cotton producers of the South will not : aggregate annually less than eighteen ! mi H ion pounds cotton, probably twenty-five million pounds, which j reduced to a money value will amount j to a loss of not less tlian gl,SOO,000 . rk mr Smallest Hair TJiroirs a Sltacloic."

The great bulk cf the bagging usod weighing less than two pound per yard. Under the present different organizations of ilio fanners through out the South, it would seem to be not a verv difficult ma tier to have a uxi- form weight for all bagging or ... eov- ering used for bailing cotton. And why not have that of Southern pro duction? From the cotton stalks, for instance. Bv beginning at once arrangements might be made for the next crop. If the South should be successful in producing a covering for bailing their cotton, or even regulating the weigh, the Trust will have worked a blessing, instead otherwise, upon us. John Hobixson, Commissioner. DOCKERY AND NEGRO RULE. Plant. 31. Dockcry, in his letter of accept ance, is vehement in his assertion that he will never willingly deliver his country over to another nation, and that he "will contend persistently for America, in preference to England." How is this language consistent with the endeavor 1SS4 to turn the legislative department of our State over to Africa? He seems to be very much opposed to his neighbors and and fellow citizens having an opportu nity to buy English goods cheaper than they can buy any now, so long as by keeping them out of our mark ets he can eu.'.blc his Republican friends up North to grow rich at our expense, but he sem ' perfectly willing to intrust Africa with the power oi shaping the legislition of our State If he is so much opposed to English interference in our affairs he ought to be more consistent and not show a preference to the Afiv an nations against men of his own race and blood. Is it not strange that a man who votes to lill the county offices with negroes, should come before the white men and ask them to place him in the highest office in the State? Do you believe there is nothing in the asser tion of Democrats that Republican success means negro rule, when you see the Republicans place in nomina tion a man who at one election tried to fill three of the offices of his county with negroes? If Dockery is in favor of negroes being register of deeds, members of the legislature, coroners, etc., won't he be willing to have them fill such offices are in the gift of the Govenor? This is no mere campaign cry of the Democrats, but a solumn warning to the white people of North Carolina a warning to them that . they are in dancer of returning to the terrible state of affairs that existed in 18GS andlSG9: If the people heed not this warning they will have no one to ; ; ,. . f?.-. ,r.i t.

He was "fishing in the river dnrinsr the recent floods, and his line becoming entangled- in a tree, he climbed up to unfasten it. The high water had loosened the roots of the tree and the weight of the negro threw it into the stream. Arnow was aboard the tree for several days, and when rescued was thoroughly ex hausted. At Atlanta, Ga., they have dubbed him "The Dark Secret." THE KIND OF BAPTIST HE IS. Fayetteville Journal. Dockery got on a regular razee at Troy in Montgomery county aud left five "empty whiskey flasks in his room at the hotel. This is the kind of Baptist he is. Mr. Blaine's Detroit speech was unworthy of his high position in the country." It was more demagogical and less intellectual than any of his previous utterances. It had not even the merit of a single startling ex- nression. It was simply an address r- t i c t- that would have .graced . speaker at a waru meem.g. originality or audacity tor rt was a mere rehash otcnrrei 'ttu nom l, am calumnies which Mr. 151a ne must have knora to be false and calumnious, , . , rendered him oblivious o current 'events athome.-New lork Star.
