A few days ago, in conversation
with W. D. Pruden, Esq., of Fden
ton, he re called an incident in the
famous political canvass of 1870 in
Edenton, in which Vanco redeemed
the State from the Republican vul
tures. An impudent negro, a
"smart Alec,' interrupted Vance
when he was speaking. Ho turned
to the negro and said: I am not ad
dressing you. I am speaking to the
whito man who have the fnte of North
Carolina in their hands. They are
in the majority and .can control
vou." The times then and now are
similar.
Oar old friend T. T. Whitcomb is
back home, as chirp as a catadid,and

voured by cancer, but thanks to old
3hs. Gregory and Whit's indomitable
pluck and spirits, the bone is intact,
and kind nature, with time and
patience, will repair all the other
damage. Ho says he always thought
that nature had been unkind to him
in tho first nose she gave him and
he trusts she will be more generous
in her second gift. We most sin
cerely congratulate o ir friend, and
hope to see him again on our streets
on his bicycle horse with a full grown
and well-blown nose. .
Which is worse, imprisonment for

By a few lingerers on tho stage,
Nixonton ,in 1'a.squotank county,
once the capital; and county seat
of Pasquotank, and in colonial times,
the seat of rovcrnnient of North
Carolina, linuVthe scene, in its origin,
of the famous . Cary's Rebellion in
North Carolina! H kuown as "Old
Town : It had its merchant princes
who did a wholesale and retail tiade
for all this section' of the country.
John. Shaw its leading merchant,
and the friend df W. T. 3Iuse, of
Westnoreland, did business on a
magnificant scale;! and was thought
to have so firm a grasp on fate that
he defied its frowns. But the old
saw says 'call no 'man happy un
til he ii dead j John Shaw died
an outcast and ! "ajj pauper. Towns,
like individuals' rise, prosper
and fall, and many that were once
like Babylon, inj its comparative
splehdor, are now, but a tradition
and a memory. Nixonton is one.
The first place where represena tive
government, was lield in North Caro
lina. The plac where 6ary and
Glover struggled for the mastery.
Where the Quakers under Mosely
and the Churchman under Glover
marshalled their forces for a bloody
contest, the place jwljere the Connors

and the.BaiJeys first saw the light,

that have honors tolay' at its feet.

The i Economist.
It has been suggested that we
prepare an article on the history of
tho Economist newspaper which has
been an institution of this sectionfor
more than a qqater Of a century.
To prepare such an article properly
it would be-' .necessary to overhaul
the, files which jwould be a laborious
and sad task as; it would recall many
a sigh and sorrow. 'Therefore we
may never come fully to the task,
but we will take itj into .considera
tion. But we will mention here
that the history ojf the Economist

accidents, and how 'our destiny is in
the hands of a -Providence whose
acts we cannot foresee, and every
man instead of being the archi
tect of of his own future," is a mere
machine in the hands of a Master
builder. When we took charge of
this paper more than a quarter of a
century ago, it was merely as a tem
porary expedient for supplying
the necessary demands of life. We
came to resume our old ; profession
of the law, and did to some extent
revive the practice which we had in
eaily life. But tlie paper fought its
way to public approval, nd became
a rallying centre of the Democratic

us by Divine Providence it would
