Tiik Caucasian, in its last two i.'wes, has claimed that Dr. flrissom's admissions on trial, (even bariimr all the evidence) makes him entirely unfit for the position he holds, and that it did not make any difference how the loard of Directors de cided that there was a higher tribunal public opinion that would determine his guilt or in nocence. IJoth of tbese posi tions are endowed by three fourths of the papers of North Carolina. We cite two of them. The Statesville Landmark says: lie may not be guilty ol every thing charged against him but he has a .nutted enough to bring him under mspicion anu.morej he has convjet ed himself of conduct improper and unbecoming, to say ihe very least. Th n has he public confidence to the same extent a before? If not, then the usefuless of the institution over which he presides s by so much impaired, "Does it stand as well as it did before this investigation was begun? Tut it t yourself thus: Suppose your danghter becomes insane; would vou feel her safe if committed to the Ilaleigh asylum? (suppose your daughter, sane, vig erous and in search of employment, should he offered a position as at ten dant, matron or housekeeper in that institution; would you bo willing for her to accent? This is the touchstone to apply in thi3 case. The State Chronicle says: It is painful to us to dissent from their verdict, to ask an appea unto Ciesar the great court of the tcople. The great Jury ol all the iteople is tho highest appellate oour in the land. This eourtof the people in the Ciesar of modern times. If the people endorse the finding of the lioard we willacquicsce for they rarely err when all the facts are presented to them. If they agree with us that the majority of the Board has not rendered a verdict in accor dance with the evidence, there must 1)0 a reversal of judgment and Dx (Jrissom must be asked to retire from the SuperintenJency of the in stitution. A few papers that are partia to Grissom try to plaster over the matter and claim that uris worn is not guilty, but there is not a single one that dares to claim that Grissom should no resign.

In 850 he went to Milledgeville, Georgia, and accented a position as clerk in a large shoe house. When about 21 years of age he returned to Rockfish and enter ed echool under the tutilage of Murdock McLoud (a gentleman so well and favorably known as a teacher for several years in his county.) He next secured a certificate and taught a public school on the Cape Fear River, in the McRay neighborhood.

His mammoth stock also includes a large line of shoes, hats and gents' furnish ing goods. By his honest and fair dealings and desire to please and give satisfaction he has won the confidence of his large con stituency of customers in Samp son and adjoining counties. By his courteous and gentlemanly demeanor since a resident of this t own he has won the esteem and confidence of our citizens. Ever since The Caucasian- was established in 1882, Mr. Han stein has been a constant and liberal advertiser, and we feel confident that his marked suc cess in business has been due to the appreciation of the value of printer's ink as well as to his fair dealings.

Mr. Johnson is one of our'most en terprising and wide-awake mer chants and probably gives a stricter persona attention tohi.s business than any man in the place. Therefore his business is a decided success and one that would do credit to any town in the State. His liberality to all worthy and charitable pur poses is well known to all. He will 4 probably originate an ad ditional enterprise for our town at an early day. Sketch of Business.

The capa cious wara-room in the reajLpf store is used as a grocery depar t ment and is always filled with everything in that line. The large warehouses above referred.; to on Fayetteville and Jail streets are indispensible, as the large purchases made by Mr. Johnson direct from mills and factories would more than fill his store proper. His business has increased yearly until prob ably now no house Ju Clinton does a larger business. His stock is estimated at froai 25, 000 to 30,000, and does a vol ume .of business, more than double this amount..

Soon he en tered the store of A. F.

After the war, Mr. Ches nutt withdrew from the business which was continued by the other two partners. In 1865 Mr. .Alfred Johnson died, when A. F. Johnson (his son) and Mr. Carroll became partners. In 1877 tbe store was burned in the great fire, of Clinton. In about one year ; Mr.; Carroll died and Mr. A. F. 'Johnson became sole proprietor. In settleing up the business with the Carroll estaie, I Mr. Johnson was surprised to lnd that by the credit system it took at least one-tenth of tho profits to cover looses. There- tore he decided to establish the cash system, with strictly one price to all customers undyr all circumstances. This was the firsf step taken m this direction by any Clinton merchant, hence Mr. Johnson has a right to claim to have The Original Cash Store of Clinton, N. C." .The plan once put on foot has gradually been adopted by the majority of our business men. This has brought down the price of goods and drawn an liLinense volume of tradQ to this place that would fcavegoue to WUmiinjton,Golds boroand Fayetteville. It is well known now that the quili- ty tmd "price of goods at this place cannot be excelled by any of the largoi" towns in the Stale.

Srik K'iidlj A man once saved a very poor boy from drowning. After Ids restoration he said to him; "What cau I do for you, my boy?" "ipeak a kind word to mo sometimes," replied tho boy, the tears gushing from his eyes. "I ain't got a mother like homo of them." A kind word! Think of it. This man had it in his powor to give that boy money, clothes, playthings, but the little follow craved nothing so 'much as a kind word now and then. If tho man had ever so little heart, the boy must certainly havo had the wish granted. A kind word! You have many such spoken to j ou daily, and you don't think much of their value; but that poor boy In the village, at whom everybody laughs, would think that he had found a treasury It some one spoke a kind word to him.
