TH t milD&RD. FRIDAY, - September 13, 1889. .Fas. P. Cook, 1 Editors and P.. E. Hakris, J Proprietors. STANDARD NOTES. The total national debt of the United States is $1,645,826,162.60. During the last month there was an increase of over $6,000,000. Never be foolish enough to sign a iianer without first examining its contents. Some of the worst mis takes have been made in this way. Don't do it even for a friend. Messrs. Bovd & Keosh have Bold the Greensboro North State and will leave the editorial fraternity. This is a Republican paper, and while under the management of these gen tlemen it took a high stand as a newspaper. Tho great London strike has about ended, and the odds seem to be in favor of the strikers. The English haven't " caught on to the racket " yet, and do not know how to manage tue poor workmen as the American lords have. John L. Slli?an, the champion slugger, has signified his willingness to run for Congress this fall on the Democratic ticket. If he were to be elected and would expend some of his muscular powers on Ingalls, per haps the South would not object. It seems a disgraceful sight to see Mr. Manderson, a man of wealth and a United States Senator, enter the scramble for pensions, and having himself examined medically, that he might receive an increase of pen sions. He could well afford to leave his share to other more needy com rades. Steve Brodie, the celebrated bridge jumper, went over the Niagara Falls last Saturday in a rubber suit, and was picked up by his friends some what stunned. After all, what has he done ? Something, it is true, that no other fool has ever done, and he has acquired fame thereby, but is the world any better by it ? Johns Hopkins Universicy is now a beggar. The princely endowment of several millions left by the gener ous founder was in Baltimore and Ohio stock, and with the collapse of this road the endowment is wiped out. Every one will regret the remediless ruin of this institution, which had became, and justly too, the pride of Americans. There is actually some talk of Tanner's resigning; in fact, it has been said that his resignation has already been handed in. His meas ures were too radical and wholesale for even the political lovers of the G. A. R. Better late than never, though it will take a long time to remedy the extravagance and evils inaugurated by this old scamp. In his recent charge to the grand jury of Iredell county Judge Meri mon made quite a new departure. He defined it as the duty of the members of that jury to report what they know personally, and that it was not their business to make themselves spies on the conduct of their neighbors. The law did not contemplate establishing a system of espionage of the free citizens of this country. They were to examine care fully the members as they made reports, but had no right to arrogate to themselves the authority of court and summon witnesses. OUR STATE HONORED. That grand old man, Jeff Davis, as the people of the South and North both delight to call him, though from different motives, it being with the one a term of re proach, with the other one of en dearrnent, has promised and still promises to visit North Carolina this fall and attend the centennial at Fayetteville. The people of North Carolina should feel especially hon ored, a3 Mr. Davis has declined many invitations to other and larger places, and there is no doubt that our people will assemble almost en masse to do honor to their illustrious chieftain no less a chieftain because the cause he led is a Lost Cause. SAMUEL S. COX DEAD. "Sunset" Cox, the bright, sunny genial spirit who, by his bubbling humor, has time and again relieved and diverted the bitter controversies that took place in the House of Represenf atives, has joined the some what numerous company of distin guished men who have lately "crossed over the river." Having recently returned from a successful lecturing tour in the Northwest, he was taken with malarial fever, contracted, per haps, on his tour, and died Tuesday evening. Many people of all sections will hear of his death with regret, having learned to love him for his bright wit and humor. DROPS OF Tr, Pitch and Turpentine from tne Old North State.

Let three indues be elected to sit on auv and 0 a -.. all cases that come up for trial, and let no such thing as a jury composed of the most illiterate men in the land be selected to interpret the law which they don t understand, nor couldn't to save their lives.
