KORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE IS DE SIRABLE. . What shall be our pull for North Carolina College ? It is well enough to give this matter due consideration now. Were it a railroad the enthusi asm would doubless catch quickly. Business men see the advan tages from a financial standpoint. We confess our inability to compare closely the two enter prizes,. but we doubt not the col lege has its full share of merits i from a business point of view. A splendid site has been pro vided that will carry with it a very neat and substantial source, of re venue and if built upon will neither be too far off nor, too near. It will give a new exten sion to Concord in the best direc tion in which to expand the city. There will be much builcling to be done, which always adds life and prosperity to a town ; and somehow scatters, its benefits di rectly and indirectly to every live business citizen. When the institution has been settled down in its new home .there will be thousands of dollars : overy year made and spent by yprof essors and the necessary at tendants and much more by the Students. If the college becomes pros perous, which is reasonable to .presume in our growing density .of population and our ever in , creasing tendency to popular and advanced education, this 'de mand for more building and supplies will keep pace with all business expansion. From a business point of view the location of the college here has much more in it for citizens generally than a manufacturing enterprise, we think. The financial incentive, how ever, lies in the great saving to the citizens of the town arid vicinity who have sons to edu cate. . Yhile there must be a decided outlay for clothing, and, .suste nance anywhere, these can be brought to a minimum when the boys are at home and the loving labors and much needed care for the young becomes a privilege beside and above the considera tion of economy, which is in its -self very great , to the average, .parent.: ; Let this subject have due at tention now in the period of the town's opportunity. The Lenoir Semi-Weekly News says the United States Geologi cal Survey fixed a plate in the :wall of the court house record?; ing ; the altitude : as 1,180 feet above the sea level. Lenoir, too, triumphs over its neighbor, Hickory, which is 1,164 feet. Hickory can now join the rest of us in looking up to Lenoir. 'Another postoffice in the South is likely to be discontinued be cause; a, set of unknown men, as saulted; and severely handled the 0$tototeiQU;;.iunt! of his appointment- 6f-a negro assistant. This time is Peck, Fla, that is to suffer.. .. We amenable. tosee why the Washington officials have any more right to .deprive the people of a locality of a post office on account of the action of a few lawlesj3men than they have,- for instance, to .stop, trans mitting, the , mails voyer a, .certain railroad after a .set of highway men have held up arid robbed a postal car. - Why, should a hun dred citizens be made to suffer on account of the crime ol probably half a dozen ? Charlotte Obser ver. It reminds us of the olden school days when if a misde meanor could not be located the pedagogue would at least threat en to apply the cudgel to the whole group with the certainty of getting the right one. The comparison, we admit, is tough, but the principle is the same and is reprehensibly weak. If there isj anything that will put North Carolina in the doubt ful column next year it is the re nomination of W, J. Bryan for President. Opposition to him can be found all around and many good democrats declare they will never vote for him again. Mark Hanna - knows his 1 business and kriows Bryan will make a weak run against his .man , "Friday" McKinley. . ; . Shortsightedness and fanaticism are today democ Weekly. But with free coinage relegated to the. . rank of supposed desire- -.- - ..- ables but absolutely impossibles, would not Mr. . Bryan be desir- able as a democrat and .capable of making the 'strongest run of all? There is no certainty how ever that he would be willing to stand or fall and carry Democ racy with him , on any but ; the silver plank- There is time yet though. . - . The trial , at Reriries goes on from day to day, 'with the sanie manifest anxiety, to 2-coAvicti . the the accused. His chief counsel, M Labori, is on Hand and is very much in the way of wit nesses whose testimony is largely of such character as would not be entertained in a common court of justice. Julius Alexander was hanged today in Charlotte. He con fessed his guilt, which -was the outraging of Mrs. Mullis, arid confirms her testim on v in court. It is a victory for retributive and an honor for Mecklenburg that tne law was allowed to take its due course. It is best that lynch ings be avoided. Bingham's Latin Grammar. This book, which was written by Col. Wm. Bingham, at the Bingham School, Orange county, near Mebane, has a very large sale in the United States. It is used in the Latin course in Bing ham School, Mebane. MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY. 3 Jt is certainly gratifying to the ppDuc w Knpwprpn concern m the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffer ing.
