This in ridiculous mod- t;fty(?, yet it exists in spile of being often grinned at. Rutare fanners the. only persons addic ted to this fatality ? No ! The lat meeting of the Trustees of the Agricultural College shews that a majority of the members of that board are suiFering from the sum disease. The names of two worthy North Carolini ans were offered for the position of President, one of whom is the peer of any and certainly superior to the majority of those whose names whih offered. But alas, lie was gumy or. being a North Carolinian, which was fatal to his chances. Out of the whole faculty of the great ex perimental Institution there are now only two North Carol inians, and they need must have left the State for a while to be fit to be called back. A Tew days before, the Trus tnes or the N. C. University elected a man to fill the chair made vacant by the lamented demise of Prof. Craves. The man, though a native Carolinian, had shown wisdom enough to leave the State a number of years ago. If fie had in the meantime remained in North Carolina and put forth his ef forts to build up his own State ho would not have stood a ghost of a chance. If Duplin's worthy son, who was an applicant for the place had remained in Tex as a little longor, he might have been the lucky man. Would it not be a good idea to import 170 men to fill our next Legisture? For certainly we are by ourselves unfit to make our laws, if we are unfit and in competent to execute them and carry into effect our enterprises. Family men should get into the habit of inviting their un married friends to their homes. T 1. . 1 i nero social ana Business ques- tions, as well as politics, and all oilier such topics, as are gener ally considered of interest to men alone, would be freely dis cussed in the family circle mostly over the tea table. Then our girls and women would get to be thoroughly versed and in terested in the most serious of life's problems and therefore would, when occasion occurred, turn out splendid helpmeets to men in all their undertakings. w e oeneve mat such a course would greatly tend to make married, life more happy and successful. Two illustrious ex- amples of how such intelligent and well informed wives have Deen oi wonaenui am una in spiration to their husbands is to be found in the case of Thos II. Hendricks, Vice-President of the United States, and Wra. E. Gladstone, Prime Minister of England. Mrs Hendricks uot only ad- vised her husband on all import ant steps, but even assisted him iu preparing his speeches. It was her ambition that made him twice Vice-President. How much Mr. Gladstone has owed to his wife, since that ses sion of 1839, when he was en gaged in discussing the constl tution of Jam&ca, no one but he himself can know; and no one else has the right to speak upon such a theme. Antonio, irfcthe 'Duchess of Main," says round- ly that marriage must be either heaven of hell. The example of these two I ' ' ' "' women point clearly to one way in which wives can help to make home next to heaven. One of the teachers' party, just returned from Europe, in writing to the News and Obser ver, says: "If any member of our party wai ever within ten miles of Queen Vic toria during their visit to Europe," Ac. It is bad for teachers to make such mistakes, and until thev - - 4 learn that their is plural num ber they will never feel the need of a new pronoun of the com mon gender, singular number. Resignation is official suicide. And, in the words otcDaiifei Websler, "suicide is confession." Now that Nathaniel Jarvis has confessed by resigning, it will be in order for some of the na- tural sympathizers with rogues to bring out their sneer at "trial by newspaper." N. Y.

At a meeting of the Life Members of the Sampson Coun ty Agricultural Association held in Clinton on July 26th the fol lowing resolution was passed: "Resolved by the Sampson Coun ty Agricultural Association that there shall bo a Fair held in the Fall of 1889, provided the citizens of the town ot Clinton shall contribute the sum oi two nunurea dollars to be expended and used in improving the Fair Ground property." Acting upon the above, the citizens of Clinton sent in a list containing subscriptions to the amount of $212.50 to the meet ing of the Society .which was held in Atkins' Hall on last Monday, September 2nd, where upon the Society unanimously accepted the subscriptions ten dered and resolved to take ira mediate step toward holding the proposed Fair. Upon motion the body adjourned to meet next Saturday, September 7th, at 10 o clock A. M., to organize as a corporate body under the char ter which has been granted for the purpose aforesaid. Every life member of the original as sociation is earnestly requested to be present so as to facilitate putting in motion the machine ry for holding a large and sue cessful Fair at this place during the latter part of the ensuiug Fall. Mmnnii G. Ross, latelv Gov ernor of New Mexico, and twen ty odd years ago United States Senator from Kansas, has re turned to the printer's case in the composing room of a Sante Fe newspaper. The sturdy in dependence of character that enabled him to resist immense pressure and stand by his con victions in casting the deciding vote for President Johnson's acquittal is evinced in his quiet return to labor at his trade. His administration as Governor of New Mexico wai as able as it was incorruptible, and during his public service he has ac cumulated no fortune. But he does not consider himself a poor man, so long as he is pos- spssed of the always available capital of knowledge of his craft. This Cincinnatus of the printers is an exemplary figure in our current history. N. Y. Star. 3IYHOVEK DID IT. We understand that the C. F. & Y. V. hand book which we noticed last weekjs the work of J.

C, ) Kept. 2nd, 18SJ. J A new weekly paper will make ts appearance here in a week or two. It is to be called the Far mers' Exchange, and to be edited by Messrs. J. andO. Evans. The prospectus is out and its decla ration of principles good. The death of Maj. Roger P. Atkinson, Chief Engineer of the C. F. fc Y. V. Railway, ax Greens boro, was not a surprise to Jiis friends, who knew the condition of his health. The engines on he road are draped m mourn ing, lie was popular with all. It is not yet known who will succeed him. Rev. John M. Rose, ot Green ville, S. C, filled the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church yesterday. He is a native of Fayetteville, and always pleases an audience by his learning and eloquence. Rev. J. W. McRay, of Rock Hill, S. C, has filled the pulpit of the Hay street Methodist church for the last two weeks. Rev. Joseph Wheeler, the pas tor, is off on his usual summer vacation. The mass-meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was postponed until to night, on account of the abomi nable weather of last week. The subject for discussion is "the relation of the spiritual and physical side of a young man's life," as seen from a lay man's, a general secretary's and a minister's stand-point. The river is up again and the work on the middle pier for the railroad bridge stopped. The iron work has commenced on the city side of the river. It is to be a huge affair. The f ram ing nxay be seen a great distance. A colored boy was drowned in the river here last week. His body was recovered on Thurs day, and interred the same day. Quite a party of layettevil lians are at Mt. Vernon Springs, sixty miles up on the Yadkin Valley road. It is a popular re sort. The cotton men are making preparations for handling the largest number of bales of cot ton ever received in this mar ket. The receipts ought to be 30,000. They have already reached as high as 25,000. Thou sands of bales come from South Carolina. The name of Dr. Wm. C. Mc Duffle, haa been very favorably received in the State, in connec tion with the superintendency of the North Carolina Insane Asylum. He ought to be elect ed, as he is thoroughly qualified in every way. We recently saw an extract from a State paper, which said that thousands of young white men, of talent and brains left the State every year. We rise to ask is it any wonder that the young men leave a State which refuses to encourage them, by giving all places of trust and profit to outsiders, when there are hundreds of competent na tives, who could worthily and creditably fill the positions. They however "get left." They make the mistake m early life by concluding to remain in their own State. We are led to these reflections because of the action of the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, in ignoring well qualifl ed North Carolina gentlemen in their aspirations for the Presi dency of the College, and going out of the State to get a man. We confidently expected the election of that practical scholar and gentleman, Rev. J. L btewart, as ne is a man of versatile talents and would have made a good one. Then there was Prof. John E. Kelly, of Moore, who could have filled the place. We do not say any thing against the gentlemen chosen but we do pay that he is no superior to dozens of Caro linians. These things happen every day, exemplyfying the truth of "a prophet is not with out honor, save in his ownxonn- try," and yet people wonder why our young mea go West or to some other part of the country where there is no absolute dis crimination against them. We know a young man, who wil leave - this month for the far West, who will be a real loss to this State, and it is because he can sea no future for a native here.

The following article has been handed us and we give it for the benefit of our readeis, as there is considerable fever throughout the country : "Typhoid fever is probably the most preventable of all dis eases, not excepting small-pox. It i3 now known that, like chol era and dysentery, the germ or specific cause of this disease is contained in the discharges from the bowels of those sick of it, and that while other methods of introducing the poison into the system are possible, it most generally gains entrance through the medium of an in fected water supply -usually the use of well water polluted by fecal matter. This may be direct, from drinking such wa ter, or indirect, as by using milk or otter articles of food or drink from cans or vessels washed in it. Ice, from an infected source, Is also dangerous, since it has been proven that freezing does not destroy the infective prin ciple. While water from all sources of supply is liable to contami nation, well water is especially so, whether located in city, town, summer watering place or country. Thus, out of three hundred and fourteen cases oc curring iu Louisville, Ky., in 1884, two hundred and ninety eight of the persons used well water habitually, and some of the other sixteen did so occa sionally. In the now famous epidemic at Plymouth, Penn., involving the sickness of 1,104 persons, the dath of 114, and an actual outlay in money of $67,100.16, the outbreak was traced to the use of water pol- uted by the fecal discharges of one imported case of the dis ease. Facts no less convincing might bo multiplied indefinite- y if space permitted. In a small er way they are common in the experience of most physicians in active practice, Usually the wells are sunk near the kitchen, and in danger ous proximity to the privy and other sources of contamination. The well draws its supply from an inverted cone, having its apex at the bottom of the well and ts base at the surface of the ground. In dry seasons this base is often extended until the well becomes the receptical for the more or less pefectly filter ed filth from all the sources found in the average back yard, and the water, often sparkling in its apparent purity, becomes a culture fluid for anv disease germs finding their way into it. Two methods of prevention, having the same general object view, are to be recommend ed. The first involved the tho rough disinfection from all dis- chaiges from the bowels of ty phoid fever patients. This is best done by the use of a solu tion of chloride of lime, eight ounces to the gallon of water. using & quart of this solution for each discharge, and allow ing it to stand in the vessel at least one hour before emptying. A solution of corrosive subli mate, two drams to the gallon of water, will answer the same purpose, but requires to remain longer in contact with the ma terial to be disinf acted. Bed and body linen soiled by such patients, should be disinfected by the use of the same solution or by boiling. The second method relates to avoiding the ue of suspicious water, and especially well wa ter, and where this cannot be done, to boil such water before it is used for drinking purposes. In the absence of a pure and guarded public water supply, properly stored cistern water is probly open to least objection. The effectual practice of these methods will require intelligent care and some expense, but it is confidently believed that their general adoption would result in the practical disappearance of a disease that is not only a disgrace to our civilization, but an annual scourge and tax upon the people of Kentucky, in com parison with which yellow fever and cholera sink into in significance.

Hog Cholera. Probably nothing, save the fatal mortgage, has been as great a curse to agriculture for the last dscade as hog cholera and swine plague. (The latter is similar to the former, hut ni-o- duced by a somewhat different . m . A tausc. xuc n.ian iu tuin wiiuij J aiouo nas several years Deen pro- bably as nigh as ?10,t00, while the estimated loss to farmers of fv. ,ri,nio ,nnnt, 1. -a rro nom mieeii 10 unriy imiiiou dollars, is mere no preventive for this fatal and costly disease? We do not ask for a cure, for ex- peneuce on a iarm lias taugiit us that a cure is impossible, or the hog, if it does not die, is next to worthless and will have cost twice its original value, to say nothing of its depreciated value. Teherefore when a hog once has contracted a genuine case of cholera it is generally cheaper to kill it and bury deep under the crround. If this is not done, the hogs that show signs of cholera should by all means be separated from the other hogs and kept m a pen or enclosure (withaio water running through it, for other hogs drinking from the same stream below would be liable to take the disease) that is inside of another inclosure so that no nog could get near tnem. In the same way the sound hogs should be t.ut in a oen in the middle of a field. Immediate treatment to prevent them from taking the disease should at once be looked after. The food given the hOgs should be cooked, the water should have lime sprink led in it, and tar freely used. If one of these should show signs of disease, remove it iin- mediately to the sick pen. When a hog dies by no means allow ii,.hnj .,n,o,hinr ,ni. ' ' icals to devour the flesh, for by carrying on ana dropping dus which might be eaten by hogs, the disease would rapidly spread. By using some such care ouri fanners could save thousands of dollars to thecouuty every year. The Injnstitf of Man-Made Laws.

SANITARY. "How can we Best secure eco nomical Disposal of Refuse in our Towns" is an excellent ar 1 ticle written by J. L. Ludland C. E.

We make an extract jn the great book of nature we are taught that extreme dangers attend the accumula tion of filth within communities of human habitations. We are tsught that the products of the vegetable kingdom, having once served the uses of man as food and 1 having passed from the body as the waste product o the animal kingdom, has be come a deleterious substance unfit for the uses or surround ings of mankind, at least until it has been given an opportunity of passing through , nature's transforming cycle, 1 o reapp ear I a a vocrAfnhlft Trm.f.tr fit ftcrain fnr thfl(ninnnrt of the animal kin- Mora. .

If a erocer was asked to donate jrroceries to persons abund antly able to pay for them, he would refuse.
