IV. C. Smith, Esq. , Editor ‘ ‘ The, Char
lotte Messenger,”
Dear Sir: It was my intention to vin
dicate the necessity, justice, desirabil
ity, and feasibility of the proposed Nor
mal and Collegiate Institute through
the columns of some of our State pa
pers ; hut I have been so gratified and
satisfied at the able and full vindica
tion made by the people's editors that I
have thought it unnecessary to add a
word. Therefore, I have, with the
other representatives of the Associa
tion, only worked to secure the nec
essary legislation on the subject.
At length, finding so much opposi
tion from so very absurd standpoints
I had almost again resolved to write,
thinking that possibly our leaders did
not understand whereof they spoke.
But the issue of the Messenger receiv
ed this morning has fully convinced
me that the pcoplcVeausc may be left
severely to the people’s editors.
Hence, my letter, to congratulate
you, Mr. Editor, on your able and
championship of this great
measure, involving the laces highest
interest in North Carolina. I like so
much your last words: “The battle
is just opened” against opposition in
our own race to that which is to make
mind power the greatest force in na
ture. You arc right, and “Right the
day must win.”
Yours for the cause of right,
S. G. Atkins.
Salisbury Items.
Zion Wesley College is no more,
but instead it shall henceforth be
known as Livingston College, the
name having been changed at the last
| Legislature.
Sunday evening Huntington Hall
will be dedicated a chapel for sacred
j services only. Prof. Price will preach
| the dedicatory sermon.
C. H. Mead, the great temperance
! lecturer, spoke at Livingston College
last evening at 7 o’clock, and at the
! opera bouse at 8, to a large audience.
! No arrangements were made for seat
ing’ the colored auditors, save in the
gallery; consequently, extremely few
were present. Prof. Golcr accompa
nied the lecturer to the opera house
i and was himself invited, to a gallery
seat, or outdoors, whichever he pre
ferred. He choso the latter. How
the temperance reformers of the South
can look for success in this all-impor
tant work when the color line is con
stantly drawn is what we can’t just
now see.
Mr. Isaiah Neely, an elder of the
Presbyterian church, departed this
mortal life February 25. He was truly
a Christian, a father in Israel. He
was loved and respected by all who
knew him. The church loses one of
her best members and faithful work
ers. Now we can only say: “How
blest the l-ightous who die.”
Mr. Charles Barber is having the
foundation of his sl,ooo’ store and
residence dug nut, near the depot.

trout and shad twice a weel£—Tues
days and Saturdays. They will he
prepared to furnish first-class soda and
mineral watefs next week.. A call so
licited. Occasional.

Our good friend, Johnson Bowen,
will spend a few days at Warsaw, in
the interest of the Advocate ; also, to
make a special visit to a fair damsel.
Somebody’s name will be changed be
fore the close of ’B7.
The Acap Singing Club of this city
will visit Fayetteville soon. This is
the best club in the State—all clever
young gentlemen ; and with Mr. D.B.
Fulton as president and Master Alfred
Hill as organist, they will spare no
pains to please the citizens of Fayette
ville.
Mr. J nines D. Hall has just return- I
ed from Fayetteville, where he reports
having spent very pleasantly.
J. E. Sampson lias purchased two
houses and lots on Campbell street.
Miss Mildred Mears has completed
a very nice house on Seventh street.
11. L. Hutchins is taking the lead
with his late styles of paintings.
Hons. Holloway and Ilowe arrived

The pallor concert given at the res
idence of l)r. Shobers, was a grand

Columbia, S. ('., Notes.
Columbia, S. C.. March 9.
The Messenger —The farmers are
all bustling about their work in this
vicinity. Much of the soil is in read
iness for the seed. In a very few
weeks cotton will be planted by the
rich and poor alike. If it tuins out a i
“good crop year,” the rich will be j
made richer; if otherwise, they will
hardly lose. But the poor, in ninety- j
nine cases out of one hundred, will be
made poorer —whether it be a good
crop year or a had one. Is this not a
lamentable truth ? Our social arrange
ment is too utterly wrong. In this
“Government of the people, by the
people and for the people,” these
things ought not to he so. Let us
change them.
The work of education is moving on
apace with the times. The teachers of
Howard Graded School have a reading
circle that meets weekly. Mr. Wal
lace, the principal of the school, is its
president.
The Richland County Teachers’ As
sociation has resolved itself into a
reading circle and meet twice a month.
This circle is a* branch of the Chau
tauqua Teachers’ Reading Union. Mr.
Jas. Wells is its president. He left
for the up-country to take charge of a;
school about ten days ago. Mrs. P.-
F. Oliver, the vice-president, presided!
at the last meeting of the circle, which
was on last Saturday. She graced!
the chair with ease. Let the women
come to the front in all things good.
The cause of education is to be
aided much by organizations like those
mentioned above. Let the moulders
of human souls and shapers of our
future citizens look well to the inter
est of tho nation and humanity by
keeping to the front in their work.
Rev. J, B. Middleton has been ap
