FRIDAY. AUGUST...... 12 18S7
Gen. Longstreet lives in a
farm house on '.the summit of a
ridge in North Georgia-
Sunset Cox has great expect
ations in regard to his new bcok,
The Diversions of a Diplomat,'
which will be issued next month,
and which, he sa3's, "will beat
either Mark Twain's 'Innocents
Abroad' or Gen. Grant's 'Mem
cirs.' "
The Democratic -party was
never so nearly a unit as at this
time. IJow nearly its members
are in accord may bo judged
when it is stated that they are
all for the same man for Presi
dent at the next election. Dur
ing the past year-the name of
no other man than Cleveland
has been mentioned in connec
tion with the Democratic Presi
dential nomination and were
the Convention to be held this
month no other man in the na
tion coultf pick his own delegates
and be nominated. The differ,
ence of opinion which exists in
the party on the tariff question
is hardly worth considering in a
Presidential election. -Monroe
Enquirer and Express.
Dr. Herbert 13. Battle has been
appointed by the executive com
mittee of the Board of Agricult
ure to fill the vacancy in the of
fice of State Chemist, modo va
cant by the resignation of Dr.
Dabney, from October first un
til the meeting of tlue full board
in December. Dr. Battle lias
for six years and more been the
first assistant chemist of the de
partment and has proven liis
fitness for the position he is now
to hold. lie is a North Carol!
liian, a graduate of our own
university, thoroughly capable,
earnest and devoted to thq
States' interests.
Dr. Battle has already evinc-
ed talent of a high order in the
line of his profession, and the
degree of Ph. D. has been awardi
ed him.
Now let Dr. Battle be regular
ly elected State Chemist in De
cember. 'News and Observer.
No State in this Republic is
in advance of North Carolina in
devotion to the Constitution and
the Union. She was present at
their birth, and she has ever
guarded them with maternal sol-,
icitude. On her soil first blazed
the fires of liberty, and beneath
J xicoa the first Declaration of
Independence was made. The
people of North Carolina hail
the approaching Constitutional
Centennial with pride and exul
tation. It is their purpose to
meet the representatives of all
the States and Territories in
Philadelphia; on the 17th of
September, 1887, and celebrate,
with bonfires and illuminations,
the Centennial of that illustrious
da-. While North Carolina,
with her sister states of the
South, accepts the amendments
in good faith, she would be false
to herself, and recreant to liber
ty, if she did not venerate the
Constitution of 1 787. The Cen
tennial of the Declaration of
Indepenpencc, participated in
by, every part of the Union, did
much to heal the wounds of
war. There will be still greater
patriotic assurance in. our re
newal of our devotion to the
Constitution. Wadesboro Mes
