What a Veteron Editor Says of the Opportunities it Offers lor Securing a First-class Education. rElizabcth City Economist. Education is the most popular of all public enterprise. It is regarded as a panacea for all the ills of lifc. It is considered as the b:st equipment for the struggle of life. Education is sup posed to be the key that unlocks suc cess. This is the popular belief. This is to some extent true, but in" some respect untrue. Education sharpens the mental armory, develops thought, concentrates the mental faculties, multiplies the inventive resources, sug gests new employments and adds un told values to unimportant material objects. A lecture which Dr. Pritch ard delivered several years ago in dif ferent parts of North Carolina to dem onstrate the pecuniary value of edu cation, established by statistical tables that the material wealth ot all coun-1 tries was in unvarying proportions to the condition of education that illiteracy and poverty were in pro )ortion ; as were wealth and education. This was a startling tabular statement made by a man who does not misstate facts and we could not question. We would have thought differntly, but for our confidence in the statements of Dr. Pritchard. We had supposed until then that education developed our artificial wants and. was therefore un favorable to the accumulation of wealth. Granting then that educa tion promotes wealth we will address ourself to another side of the question. Education is not acquired in the school room alone. It is often not the best education that is acquired in schools or colleges. Of all the great schools of education outside the school room, we are of opinion from a close observa tion of many years that there is none superior to the printer's desk. There is no education more accurate, more particular, more easy, more thorough, more cheap, more p.ytural or more compulsory in its operation upon the mind than the education obtained at the printer's desk. It is a school with out professors, in the rudiments and higher branches of education. No boy can work at the printer's desk in a good newspaper office, - without being an accurate speller, without being a good grammarian, a good rhetorician, without having an accurate knowledge of figures and their uses and without having a memory stored with the rich est treasures of English literature and without being an accomplished gen tleman. In proot 01 this there is no occupation from which have sprung so many bright lights in public life as from the printer's desk. There is no more sure road to distinction and use fulness among men. TO-DAY. Ix)rd ! for to-morrow and its needs I do not pi ay; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, Just for to-day. Let mt both diligently work And duly pray ; Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for to-day. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey ; Help me to mortify my lleh, Just for toslay.

A Slippery Subject. . TJas. A. Robinson, Durham Recorder. There was a beautiful scene in Dur ham last night. It was nature's fan tasies. For some time the sleet pre sented an ice carnival. The trees, under the electric lights, looked as if thev were bedecked with myriads of jewels, each twig, encased in a coat of crystal, vieing with each other in brilliancy and beauty. The electric wires were like so many silver chords stretched along our street, quivering and sparkling as if a thousand shatter ed star beams were sprinkled along their course. The tops of houses gleamed like a surface of glass, stud ded with diamonds, and from their eaves hung icy pendants like beaded fringe. The scene was one to charm the eye of the lover of the beautiful, indeed it-was so fascinating that peo ple sat down upon the side walks and tetra fir ma without beme invited to do so. This was owing to the fact, we suppose, that they could not tarry firmer in an upright position. The good as well as the wicked stood in slppery places. Wc know. We stood it as well as the- rest 01 em. ine ground had much of the, element of a peeled onion. And now, while the memory of last nights' scene is slip ping away before our mental vision, here comes the New York Star and tells us how to walk on a slippery day. What we want to know now is how to walk on a slippery pavement. Why didn't you tell us sooner? The Star says: "Lean forward, keep the feet well together." That's what we did. Thev staved together. We found no 4 ABOUT LABOR. WAGES AND WAGE EARNERS. Report of the Bureau of Labox Statistics for North Carolina. Statesville Landmark. We have received from Wesley N. Jones, Esq., Commissioner of Labor for North Carolina, the first annual re port of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, embracing the" period from the istof March, 1887, to the 1st of January, 1888, inclusive. .The bureau was es tablished by act of the Legislature at its last session ta "collect information upon the subject of labor, its relation to capital, the hours of labor, the earn ings of laboring men and women, their educational, moral and financial con dition and the best means of promot ing their mental, material and moral prosperity." Mr. Jones was appointed commissioner under the act, by the Governor, and $3,000 was placed at his disposal for the first year, for the purpose of meeting all the expenses of the bureau in the payment of salaries and the prosecution of its work, and $2,000 for each subsequent year. Mr. Jones reports to the Governor that with more means at his disposal his report would be much more full, but still the results attained have surpassed his ex pectations, there being a general dis position to fill blanks sent out by him and otherwise to forward the work he has in hand. He thinks the work of the bureau has becn appreciated by a good many of the people of the State," shown by the large number of persons "who have voluntarily fur nished information upon various, sub jects." The report is a highly interest ing document. It presents a great mass of statistics of a class never be fore collated in .North Carolina, and the answers of the correspondents, em ployers and employed, to the questions asked them, and the general views which thev exuress. are striking and mm w suggestive. The first table shows the mechanical operations followed, the 1 ate of wages per day and the number o! hours con stituting a day's work, in each of the counties of the- State. - Many blanks were sent to each county and the re dies were averaged. The wages of blacksmiths are $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 and $2.00 per day. Only two coun ties, however Burke and Durham pay $2.00; $1.25 is about an average of the State. Carpenters' waees are from $1.25 to $2.00, though only one county Buncombe pays 2.00 ; avacrge of the State about $r. 50. Brick- masons get from J1.00tol3.o0 per have accumulated something past year." The general demand from the labor, better apprentice laws, better educational advantages, and prohibi tion. A number of the correspondents say that liquor is the bane of the work ing classes. Fcjeport any accumula tions last year, and,' strangely enough, the majority of those who do, are those who receive the smallest compensation. The table of employers returns shows nothing .ustrking that is not shown in the former tables, except that to t the qucstlor, is the educational, moral and financial condition of their employees better' than three years ago, the almost uniform answer is, "better."

The residence be longed to a gentleman who was for years the secretary of the Democratic State Executive Committee. About twenty years ago his wife. died, and it is said that her spirit haunts the house. Finally his family moved away, not caring to undcrtro the trial. Other families lived there, and all the mem bers of each saw the ghost or appari tion saw fiery balls here and there like ghostly incandescent liehts. These families left also. Then the congress man's daughter dwelt there. The ap parition a woman's figure clad in a white garment with an old fashioned waist, with light-brown hair, and al ways with both hands held over the face has been seen scores of times by every member of the family, walking in the rooms or sitting on the stairs. Not only have persons alone seen it, but it is visible to all the family. Very queer and wholly unaccountable noises are heard and lights are seen.

The Milton Advertiser says: Last year, owing to the extreme scarcity of money in this section eur farmers used a very greatly reduced amount of commercial fertilizers, planted smaller crops of tobaccor but paid more at tention than usual to raising supplies for home consumption. Hence, corn is abundant and cheap ; we see no hay being hauled from our depot by our farmers, and a larger quantity of pork has been slaughtered than for several winters in this section. One year of severe pinching has done much good and given our people a valuable lesson. Will they profit by it ? Wc sincerely hope so ; for should they continue for a few years to act as they have during the year just ended we would see an amazing change in the condition of our farming classes, and it would be a very much improved condition in every sense. But let them go back to their former plan overcrop themselves with tobacco, buy guano equal in cost, in many cases, to the value of the crop they grow, make their smoke houses and corn cribs bevond the Ohio river. . 1 s 1 me congressman s aaugnter is gone. , and cmpioy the thrifty New Englander old -fashioned, is tenantlcss.

North Carolina sad ly needs a better system of working her public reads. The terrible con dition of the roads in winter has much to do with producing the pover ty that exists among our larmers. Some legislation that will give us bet ter country roads is a. consummation devoutly to be wished tor. Speaking on this subject the Greensboro Work man says : There is no question of internal im provement of equal importance to all the people without regard to sex, or wealth, or occupation or any other feature of distinction, as that of our country roads, nor is there any other question about which the people show so little intelligent concern or make so little effort to secure improvement. Dr. Bcnbow remarked a few days ago, upon his return from the North-1 west, that what struck hini most for cibly in passing over the great State of Michigan was the superior country roads everywhere. He saw two horses drawing two cords of wood at a load over those roads 1 Only think of that, in comparison with the aver age load of wood that comes to Greensboro over our winter roads, with the mud fourteen inches deep. The average load of wood here is about two-fiths of a cord, which is just one-fifth of a load drawn by the teams in Michigan. Suposing that the price of wood per cord is the same as Michisran. and two loads are hauled each day, the difference would be six dollars in favor of Michigan ; that is to say, 2 loads in Michigan would etch $$, while two loads here, over m m a our baa roaas, wouia xetcn 2 a pretty large difference in one day's work with two horses and a wagon. n six days the difference would be S36. The hauling of wood furnishes about as simple an example as we could find for the purpose of showing the advantages of good roads, and the more so because it touches the interest of both buyer and seller. We said some time ago that the load of wood at a dollar was dear both to him who hauled it and to him who used it. With good roads, such as thev have in some places, the farmer would make more profit on his woocftt Si. per cord than he now does at $2. and haul only one load per day where he now hauls two. The difference is so great and so palpable in ihe particlar in stance cited that the argument for good roads becomes overwhelming, One of the most unaccounuable facts of these times is that men will so stand in their own lieht. and be content to As Important Question for Nortk Car olina to Consider. We know of nothing of more interest just at tnis time, to the people gener ally than the question ot public roads, therefore we make no excuse for giving space to the following from the State Chronicle report of the recent Fanners Convention at Greensboro : The next question of interest, as it appeared to mc, was the discussion of the public roads and how to make them better. Capt. S. B. Alexander, chairman of the committee, made a most interesting and instructive ad dress on the subject of roads. We re call a few of his statements and will give them to the Chronicle reader? . He said, among other things : It is the duty of the State to keep up the public roads because they are necessary for all business and are a criteion of civilization. There are but three ways of keeping up the roads : 1 st By taxing lalwr and only the country labor. 2nd By taxing labor and property. 3rd By taxing property alone. The first is a failure. Under it the entire burden falls upon the farmers. Men who live in town escape. City folks have an idea that calling out the country people to work on the public roads is a privilege. They do not put a proper estimate upon this labor. Before 1878 twelve days labor was re quired. There were 120,000 men thus employed for twelve days. At Si. per day that amounted to Si 20,000 all of it payed by the farmers to keep up the public roods. In 1079 a new road law was passed. It provided that each man should do at least three days work on the road more if neces sary. Under this law, in some coun ties, men were worked 35 and 36 days. At the special session of theLegis- lature ( when the W. N. C. R. R. was rconn iiooa. sold) the limit was fixed at sixty days, or at S75o,ooo per year, paid entirely by farmers. This is more than all the State taxes, part of' which the farmer pays. It is wrong said Capt. Alex ander, and I said " Amen and amen." There never was any justification in making a poor man work as much and pay as much tax to keep up the roads as a rich man ; it is a monstrous unfair taxation and it must be changed MM Absolutely Pure.
