OUR STATE CANDIDATES The men selected by the Dem ocratic party for offices this year so far as we have knowledge, are Democrats, with or without of fice. This is an important dis tinction right here. Some men are "powerful good Democrats" when it is a question of pay and grub. The pone of bread is a potential, all persuading factor with some. But the Democrats have put honorable and worthy men in the field. We have heard of but one or two complaints. The Judicial ticket is all right we believe. The gentlemen se lected are supposed to be capable, to be learned in the law, to be men of character, above reproach or suspicion, and true Democrats. It is of very great importance to keep the Judiciary pure, above censure, incorruptible. A pur chasable or a drunken Judiciary is a curse to any people or State. North Carolina knows what this means. . It has an experience. In the Republican days there were drunkards on the Supreme and Superior court bench. It is kuown that there were men who had their price also, at least in the lower court. The people will do a very bad thing for themselves if they turn out competent, learned and lion est men to put in their places men of small capacity, little learning and of iron-bound, blind, incorrigible partisanship. The people have nominated men to represent them in Hie Legislature. They should know their neighbors and whether they are trustworthy or no, and if they are true Democrats. We suppose they are selecting men they believe to be honest and faithful. If not then they are blind and censurable. We take it that oiilv Democrats of the "right stripe" indigo-blue kind, are this year put on guard. It is a critical and perilous time, and not one should be chosen who is not of good character, intelligent and a Democrat from principle The members nominated for the United States House of Rep resentatives are mostly new men They may not be any abler or safer than the men they displace. but we take it that every man nominated for the Federal House is a Simon-pure Democrat. Then the next thing: to do is to elect the candidates. Vote for all Do not drop one. Go the whole ticket. Quit you like men. "Be ye steadfast, immovable." Give them big majorities and be happy. Wilmington Messenger. "Let the Democrats rally around the flag. It is no time to be bickering as to men. Men are fallible and many of very easy political virtue. Principals are foundations of party eternal.in evi table, absolutely necessary the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever. Democrats in a crisis like this and a mighty one for North Carolina it is have no political, no moral, no patri otic right to be indifferent and lukewarm. Stay-away Democrats can ruin a great cause and set back for a generation the pros perity of a great State. Will you be one of the stay-aways?" A correspondent of the News & Observer says: It is admitted that so far as the Fiist district is concerned the Democrats start in with the advantages in their favor. The district, however is naturally a close one, and the Democrats need to be on their guard. In 1878 Joe Martin, Re publican, carried the district over Latham by a small majority, and again in 1882 another Republi can, WTalter Pool, was elected by some 600 majority. Since that time the Democrats have carried the district.though in 1884 Judge C.C.PojI was beaten by Thomas G. Skinner by only a very small majority. But the district isjnow, perhaps, in better condition than it has been for many years. Certainly the Democrats are more enthusiastic and more con fident. There is hardly one of the party to be found who does not believe that though the fight will be hard and close one, suc cess will be absolute and sweep ing. The Republicans and Populists, though not so enthusiastic and loud in their claims as in some other sections, are by no means idle. So far as the leaders are concerned fusion is complete, and they are doing their best to organize their forces and throw the whole strength of the oppo sition to the support of Col. Harry Skinner, the fusion can didate. And it is all plain sail ing till they come to the negio and a great percent, of the voters of this district are colored men and there they find trouble. The majority of the educated and in telligent negroes ot the district are strongly opposed to fusion, while all the negroes, as a rule, dislike Skinner and will not, if let atone, support him. They are opposed to the Democrats and desire to see them beaten, but they have the greatest con tempt for the ropulists and their party and look on its leaders with suspicion. But in addition to this there are other reasons why they will not vote for Skinner unless con siderable pressure is brought to bear upon them. They feel that they have been sold out, and are therefore more anxious than ever to keep their organization intact and retain their standing as Re publicans. This being the case they will vote the Republican ticket wherever they have one, but when that is denied them they feel themselves free to ex ercise their own choice, and that 110 one has a right to dictate to them.

In this day of business activity, when the struggle for material gain is the passion of the hour, we are apt to undervalue the importance of education to suf fer its claims to go unobserved, the: eby failing to secure lor our selves and posterity that inesti mable benefit, that most enno bling power, which produces the best type of citizenship and with out which no people can enjoy the priveledges and blessings of enlightened civilization. Every man, whoever he may be, owes a debt of obligation to mankind and. above all, to his Maker. This being true the question arises how can this debt be best discharged? There can be but one answer and that is by striving to do your utmost to wards the development of your own nature aud that of your fel lowmau, physically, mentally and morally. This is best done by the process of ed ucation. By education I do not mean what the word commonly meaus, but giving to it its unre stricted meaning. Oxford is noted for its educa tional advantages. Here, in ad ditiou to private schools of a smaller grade, are to be found three Female Seminaries, a Mili tary school aud Orphan Asylums for both races. Though there are many places in North Carolina that can out strip Oxford in material prosper ity, they can boast of greater wealth and numbers, ?.yet there are very few that can boast of educational advantages superior to those found here. The chief glory of a nation does not consist in its wealth or population, but in its educated men and women. So it is with a town or city. As it has been said beiore there are three Female schools in Oxford, representing the Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopal de nominations. One of these is under the1 efficient mauagmcntof the Misses Hilliard, daughters of Rev. Mr. Hilliard, at one time rector of St. Paul's Church at Eden ton. Edentou people will bejglad to hear of the success with which these ladies are meeting; for by perseverance and rare attain ments in scholarship and ( refine ment they have succeeded in es tablishing a most excellent school ior girls. The people of Edeuton and elsewhere should show their appreciation by giving the school a liberal patronage. There is, perhaps, no family in North Carolina that has done more for the cause of education than the Horner family. Horner Military School, founded in 1851 under the auspicies of J. H. Hor ner, who for nearly half a century was considered the leading edu cator in North Carolina, has en tered upon another yearofjgreat usefulness and prosperity. The school is now under the able management of Mr. Jerome C. Horner, Rev. Junius M. Horner aud Col. T. J. Drewry. The stand that boys, who com plete the course at Horner school, take at college, speaks in words of highest commendation ;as to the merits of this school. The scret to the success of the principals of the school is due to the fact that they most strenous ly insist upon thoroughness and accuracy as the basis of educa tion aud will not permit a pupil to drop a study until he has thoroughly mastered it. Horner School has some most excellent features that other military schools do not possess. Here the bearding department is under the immediate supervision and control of the ladies of the Horner family and hence that rowdyism generally present in Military Schools is displaced by gentlemanly behavior. The boys are required to at tend church once a week and prayers twice a day. Then, again, whenever it is discovered that a boy's presence in school is ini'u- rious to his fellow students he is immediately removed. In short, the boys are educated physically, socially, mentally; morally and religiously. The crowning glory of Oxford, the culmination ot her greatness, is found in the Oxford Orphan Asylum. This noble institution, partly self-sustainine, and partly supported by the Masonic order and public charity, stands as a monument of human beneficence and Divine Providence. T. D. Warren. Oxford, N. C, Oct. 8, "94. Fredonla, N. Y., The Veterran Editor of the Fredonla Censer, writes Dr. Fenner: "I have been using your Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic, and desire to say that I like it.
