This is fine when the Demo crats have so long and generously taxi d themselves to give schooling to the "negroes. This 'characteristic of the : negro race tpey have no sense of grat- 'Hade. The negroes have been schooled for twenty-five years mainly by taxks leyied by; Democrats upon themselves and now a D. D. LL, D., of the negro I Methodists; -and a Bishop at that, , charges an Bttempt to cripple negjro education and a waste and misap propriation of the school fund raised By taxation, near inis teacnerox nis race: CT T "t- . j.1 T jL . jLegislature assembled, : and among tie first acts was one abolishing the office of.,Assi8tanf4Superinte'ndent of . Pa bile Instruction. Beginning by removing the agent whose duty it was . to foster 4he colored -schools, they' went as far is they thought it safe to go under the Constitution in the way of crippling the Jl ' . r i ' mi . - i i tJuucHiioiLui system, iney aiieuipi to call a Constitutional Convention change the Constitution. , P- , 'IBeside unfavorable -legislation, t ;. school funds were wasted in so cases and misappropriated in others; in one case at least, it was; taken to bail a county bridge.- J . Never was the . utility of a systei more severely tested than was the fre school system in North Carolina durini the six years from 1870 to, 1876. The Kepublican Governor had no Jvefjo power, 'and the Legislature did what it chose. ' During that: period the public ... school system came up through great i. . tribulation." i j .- The animus is plain. It is to show that the Democrats were really enemies of school education for the - negroes ib LNorh Carolina: .We hope the! Sffper i ntendent of Public Instruction fviirei ; ' amine-this attack" upon the Democrats, j and show just what has been done fp thja negroes by the Democrats, . and how fair they have a ntdgonized negro educa tion, and how much has been missed or i stolen. ' ' j jAfter, the liberality and unheard. of generosity' and self -sacrifice j of . the Democrat&it is something' hard if not Bishdp disgustin to have a ft black ratling at ' them while addressing Ms own race and seeking io show the uii- ireuuiiness pi me willies auu lueiruji faithfulness also. PACTS AS TO THE SOUTH.. The best portion of this country with all of its manifold varieties of climate ar d soil and deposits, is this dear South land of ours. Itsclimate is so much bet te than any other parts of the United States, except Southern California per haps, that it is' a wonder that the peb ; pie in the frozen and unfriendly North doj not move into the South by millions. The productiveness tmark it is far greater in the South than in the North. I You pave not considered that, or. per" i haps never Jmew that, but it is true. , The ably edited Jacksonville Times Un- ' 1 ion siysi .' , "Taking the states east of the Miss issippi river,, it will be found that the price of land is more than six times as - high per acre in tlfe states North of the Ohio as in. those South of it. :- I Are, the lands North and South equally productive? The statistical ab stract of the United States shows the acreage and value - of produp of the , corn i cotton, hay, wheat, tobacco and potato crops of-the different States of j the Union. Thejaverage value per acre f of the products of these crops in the South was $15 .99,, .while the averagje value in the northern States was only $8 50 per acre. it will be seen that the average in the South in these crops ' was nearly twice as high ;as at the . -: North." . . ' .. . '. I ..Think on those things and tell your " friends'? 'up North" about .them. The lands are abundant and cheap and acj cessible. Nearly half of North Carolina is perhaps still in virgin forests. Ther is room for many and the opportunities for investment abound. Norjth Carolina, grows more varieties than any other State. . Her minerals are rich; her forests are vast; her soil is good; het products arje almost innumerable; her water power is almost unrivalled; her climate is the best; her people are social - and law-abiding as a class, and ' the advantages are both numerous ancl excellent for settlers and investors. GEN. HARBINGER'S VIEWS; , Gen Ruf us Barringer, i one of. North Carolina's most faithful and gallant - ' soldiers in the great war; of Second In-j dependence, a lawyer of ability, and! ' long a bank director at Charlotte, somet ' days ago resigned after such j long ser " vice. He published in the Observer a letter i n ' which he set .forth his jviews on National banks, highly indorsing , them and saying that their profits were much smaller "than credited with by), the pub lic He says the laws,' governing how ever, need mending and suggests some changes. .He thinks the present system is defective because it is too much mixed with Government finances, and the tendency to concentration of capi tal in certain centres is obnoxions to fair: criticism. Among other -things said is the following: . , ? i "I have myself gone throng h two panics, largely from State "banks ex periments, in 183? and 1857, "and they were even worse than the present de pression. I would with same diffidence, suggest action on the part of the banks themselves to,- wi' ; asking for a law .' enlarging . and broadening the basis of bill issues, and in cluding; State and other good securities, as . well : as Government bonds, as a pledge for all bills, bnt the whole to be under both Federal and State supervision. , It mirfit not hurt to be looking forward, also, toward the puasiuiuiy oi some sort of commercial or .-international bimetallism . White free silver as a single remedy is sure to make matters worse, many able finan ciers are beginning to realize thM a world-wide recognition of silver at some fair ratio might greatly help things, tending; to settle values ancl lessen the danger of panics." . These are not the views of a silrerite, nor of an old . time Democrat Gen. Barring! r was long identified with the Republican party, and no "One doubted either his sincerity or his inteeritv. What hk has said comes from an eduv cated lawyer and a successful man of affairs long connected with a bank." . PHA.hPS AND FLATS, C The'cjroeities and barbarities perpe trated by the Turks upon the Armenian Christians are now known not to have been exaggerated. ' The jails are now crowded with the unfortunate victims of Turkish hatred,' If possible the Ar meniamj should get from under the mer ciless rule of th9 bloody Turks. All Europe Should help them to emigrate, and this! great countrir would give them a home,; an asylum, where they could live in peace. The atrocities already perpetrated are such as to stir the hearts of all sympathetic peopie. i , We didot know that the Richmond Dispatch retained on its staff a weaver of yerse if only, an imitation. But he wrote toj some purpose when for first of Januaryjhe got off this: .. "Ring out. wild bells, from steeples high! King oat the old year, with its woes! - Ring ot forlorn financial throes! ' Ring out the low-necked Oxford ties! " Ring out big sleeves, theatre hats; Take counts and aDglomaniacs! EiDg out all tariff-tinkering quacks! RiDg out ithe nineteen-story flats!" A . sensible physician in the North writes jh a monthly thatthe way for cold people to keep warm is to put more fat inside and more wool - outside. He says: 4 'They may take more butter, more milk arid more fat in the. shape "of butcher' meat, "increasing it little. by little, with perfect safety and with great .advantage. A very excellent plan is to take after meals a little cod liver oil. Generous living, then, is -the first rule .for those who would keep warm in winter."! - ' :- Professor E. H. Currier is the princi pal of the New York institution for in. struction of the deaf and dumb. In a recent paper in the Richmond (Va.) Times he insists that the sense of hear ing can be restored through hypnotism. He fully believes in iU power to do this and invites experiments to -make the 'test of his statement. His article is in structive, He gives some interesting cases he has treated. He restored hear ing to one man after twelve years oper ating, bijt from without He was born deaf. He thinks hypnotism will do the work byfworking from" within. We have seen signs that show, that the Republican party is building hopes of breaking the "solid South" in 1896, and of adding to 'the list of Republican States . several Southern States. Thi jnay be done, provided the people Want more Harrison-Tom Reed-McKinleyism and are willing to turn to the new f angled Populism to put in the "fire- tried" Radicals again. The last move suggested to capture the Southern vote is to put a Southern Republican on the Presidential ticket. The Baltimore Sun's Washington correspondent writes k "The returns of the last election have 'given renewed hope to the Republican leaders of making serious inroads udou the solid Souin. The policy of the party will be to footer whatever ten dency exists in the South to cut awav from the old Democratic alliances. To this end liberal appropriations for that section will be made by the next Ke publican House, and a policy of concili ation will be systematically pursued There will be no menace of a Force bill held out, but everything will be done which indicate a disposition to build up the material interests of the South. Ke publican leaders have come to the con clusion that the South once more. offer? an inviting field for them. If they can only make a half-dozen States in that section debatable ground, the prospects of 'the party for supremacy are im measurably improved." Bank defalcations are so numerous now-a-days theyare becoming monoto nous. In the North many recent plun- denngs have occurred, in two years there have been ten alone in New York City with a loss of more than $1,000,000. This leads the New York Tribune to say this and it is timely and needed: j '"There1 is no machine yet invented that will supply the lack of moral char ter in anf individual or a community. Bat there is no reason why any. one man's honesty should be the only safe iguard of any part of a bank's assets. Less reason is there for a system which will allow stealing to go on for a series of years, only to be discovered by some accident.; It is perfectly feasible j or the affairs of a bank to be conducted under such an; arrangement of checks . .-. ? -i and supervision tnai no irreguiamy can exist without the knowledge and con nivance of at least two persons. That lessens the danger lav half, and if the two who are responsible for every trust are properly watched : by the higher bank officers and directors and sub jected to frequent arid unexpected ex amination of their acqounts, the possi bility of wrongdoing will be almost abolishedV Only extraordinary clever ness or wholesale corruptions can then .make inroads on the funds." " THE EMINENT DEAD OP 1894. Among the eminent dead abroad in 1894, were!

We give no North Caro linians here as the list was published on the 1st inst. ' bNPi. . The outlook for. 1895 is one of hope. There are signs to cheer, , Go to work and -do not croke. Astronomy for 1895, reveals this; there will be a total eclipse of the moon and three eclipses of the sun. The Japanese are like the Romans were in war.

His bill is said to smell j of Republican influences. A. well known inventor in Illinois,- Mr. William Garrett, says "that wire nails are so cheap that it is estimated that if a carpenter drops a nail, it is cheaper to let it lie than to pick it up." .- ; .
