AS WE As to Education in North Caro lina Lack of Efficiency and Thoroughness of the Public School System. f Charlotte Democrat. 1 Truly are " our lines fallen in pleasant places." This land of ours is a goodly heritage this "strip of land between two States," as our brethren of other parts of the Union, who would make merry at our expense, have been pleased to term the " Tar Heel's" native heath. But what a wealth of resources has this "strip of land" developed, what beauty in its valleys and plains, what majesty in the sweeps of its rivers, what grandeur sits enthroned on its mountains and ever lasting hills ! Nor have there been wanting men worthy of the land of their fathers. From its council chambers of its college halls it has sent forth, to guide the emigrant's muscle and brawn, and direct the pioneer's axe the scholar and the statesman, who have moulded the fair commonwealths of the Missouri valley and the Pacific slope, and have impressed their genius upon the civilization of the West. But not alone has the good old State its legis lators and factors of progress for the "piping times of peace," but its heroes for the dark days of war; and in 1 86 1 it sent across its borders its valor and its chivalry to the rescue of its imperilled sisters the flower of its youth and manhood for the beleaguered forts of South Carolina and Virginia's invaded soil. Thick and fast as the panoplied warriors from the dragon's teeth of old sprang up these defenders of freedom, until North Carolina had, marching under the starry cross of the Confederacy, more soldiers for the field than she had voters for the ballot box. And, inscribing to-day the first fair page of the Democtat for the year 1894, shall we not behold this " Rip Van Winkle," awakened, standing poisetl in lusty vigor on the threshold of a bright future not as one rising heavily from a long and dreamless stupor, with slow-moving limbs, the tear of weakness in the eye, the rime of age on beard and brow, but as a young god, wooed into refreshing slumber, blest with happy visions, starting up with the light of Heaven in his eye and on his upturned front eager for the great arena before him? At the opening of the new year it is meet that we take counsel together, and ask ourselves if we are broadening the shoulders of our youth for the mantles of their fathers, if we are training their minds tor the great achievements of an historic past, if we are strengthening their arms for the work which is to be left for their performance. Of the white children of proper age in our State, there is only about 16 per cent, enrolled in the schools. This means that only about one out offitteen children boys and girls throughout North Carolina is receiving the benefit of even a common school education; it means that more than nine-tenths of the poor youth of this powerful common wealth are now growing up in idleness and ignorance, almost neglected and apparently uncared for, and are hastening to that period when they are to grapple with the trials of life, all unprepared for the stern duty. But we are confronted with a more serious evil than the paucity of attendance in the public schools, in the lack of efficiency and thorough ness of the public school system. The session of the common school does not average, throughout the State, four months in the whole year. North Carolina may be poor, but she need not be niggardly, and the provision for the education of the male aud female youth whose poverty compels them to look solely to their native State as their alma mater is wofully inadequate. This is a very serious matter, and it becomes our people to give it the grave consideration which it demands. thousands of young men all over the Southern country are out of employ ment, and can find nothing to do with every desire to be independent and self-supporting. This is measur ably due to the stringency of the times, but it is largely due to the educational system in which they have been reared. They have not the wares which the world wants ; with youthful energies and active brains, they have not been trained to utilize their great natural gifts. "Whether you handle a pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig in the ditch or edit a paper, ring an auction bell or write funny things, you must work," says the self-made man. "If you look around you will see that the men most able to live the rest of their days without work, are the men who worked the hardest. Don't be afraid of kill ing yourself with work. It is beyond your power to do that. Work gives an appetite for meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers ; it gives apprecia tion of a holiday. The busier you are the less deviltry you will get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, and the better satisfied the world will be with you." Cut this out and paste it in your hat where you can read it often. Cleanliness is as necessary sheep as food and shelter. to the A NEW YEAR'S SONG. BY FRANK L. STANTON. Into Thy perfect peace, Lead us, dear Christ, in Thy divine New Year ; Let all the storms that beat our vessels cease While rainbows rich appear ! Give to the hungry, food ; Make all the blind Thy loveliest light to see, And in the city and the solitude, Make men to look to Thee ! Bring every heart and home Close to that Calvary that claims the cross ; Aud that from Thy flowery footprints roam Give them Thy gain for loss Make all the world to know Thv loving kindness in the dark and "day. And these sad lips that name and shame Thee so Teach them the words to say ! Make all Thy dear will plain bo none may wander from Its sweet em ploy ; Hasten the harvests with Thy bounteous rain, And give the reapers Joy ! But grant us more than all, To know through tears and prayings tremulous, The robe Thou didst from Calvary let with love for us ! The Home. Kev. Dr. Wm. Lloyd. 1 The sweetest word in the Saxon tongue is home. It has in it the brightness of sunshine and the fragrance of flowers. It suggests love, and rest, and gladness. It calls up pictures painted imperishably on our hearts. It speaks of fatherly care, mother's love, and wife's tenderness and devotion. The home is the safe-guard of the nation. It is the nursery in which only can be grown manly men and womanly women. But into many, many homes there often steals a shadow of fear that darkens the sun light and drops a bitterness into the cup of joy. It is the fear that the strong man, whose arm or brain wins the bread or creates the comfort of that family may be smitten down by death. The majority of fathers find it almost impossible to lay aside sufficient from the yearly income to insure the family against adversity and possible want. Life is so insecure. The vigorous man to-day may be still in death to-morrow. What, then, can lighten the gloom of the widow's shrouded heart, the grief of the fatherless? It is then that the genuine, honest life assurance institution, society or com pany steps in and does its work of beneficence. I tell you a man's steps are much lighter, his spirit more bouyant, as he goes out in the morn ing to his work if he knows, come what may, in his home lies a paper which secures his loved ones from poverty and will bear them up until they are able to work for themseves. It is because of the fact that these societies are dealing with the most sacred of all things, life, and the most vital of institutions, home, which makes it imperative they should be honest and faithful to the trust reposed in them. A fraudulent life insurance company is not only a commercial offence ; it is a moral crime. Another Year Begun. Durham Suu. " Ring out the old, ring in the new." Another leaf in the great book of Time and Fate has been turned. An other page on the ledger of human affairs opened. We stand to-day in the doorway of 1894. In taking retrospective view of the past year how have things balanced np ? Blessings and misfortunes have come in a mysterious way. Disasters and financial wrecks have overtaken many of our fellow citizens. The kaleidoscope of our existence is ever changing showing beautiful forms and colors, mixed with the gay and joyous, the sombre and sad and to many it looks like an unequal distribu tion of blessings. Bat with it all there are practical lessons to learn. We are too apt to contract our vision into the immediate present, and to forget that in the distribution of health and happiness nature carries on a wonderful uniform system of general averages. There is every reason for faith in the future. This or that passing evidence of social degeneracy is, after all, but a mere speck in the great moral universe. The scheme of progresss is too vast to be essentially affected by the indi vidual shortcomings, now and then, which possess the narrow visual of the pessimist: Open the new ledger account of 1894 with a courage that never says die. The world moves, and progress is always in it." The following anecdote appears in a recently published book. Says an Irish father to his son : " You see, my boy, a man's life naturally divides itself into three distinct periods. The first is that in which he is plannin' and contrivin all sorts of villainy and rascality ; that is the period of youth and innocence. The second is that in which he is puttin into practice the villiany and rascality he contrived before ; that is the prime of life or the flower of manhood. The third and last period is that in which he it makin' his soul and perparin' for another world ; that is the period of dotage. The Value of a Package.

The Unwisdom of Relaxing Ef forts to Secnre Trade After the Holiday Season is Over The Part That Advertising Plays in the Drama of Success. Norfolk Virginian. The holiday rush is over. Business was active, fully up to expectations. Few people bought largely, yet every body bought something, and many littles make much. Business was re tarded by business depression, but no business depression ever existed beyond its epidemic limit, and every depression is followed by better times, all the more brisk from their contrasts with preceding months. Holiday business, however, has the appearance of a cyclone, and when the whiM of universal shopping is over usually subsides into a calm of business in activity. After the rush it is the habit of most merchants to yield to the popular impression that business will be dull, they pull down the blinds, cover up the counters, discharge much of their help and go into winter quarters, only to wake up when the brisk breezes of spring trade, fan them back into life. Why is trade dull between seasons? Because the merchant makes it dull by relaxing his efforts for business and sitting on the rail of discontent. He imagines he cannot sell goods, and, therefore he doesn't. Have you never heard your wife, your sister, your mother-in-law, say frequently that she will buy that cloak or that hat, or that something else, after the rusA? She buys toys and candies and seasonable trinkets during the holiday season, but waits for the active trade to be over before purchas ing expensive or economical necessities. She has two reasons for waiting. She can make better selections when the stores are not crowded ; then the prices are lower and she can reap the benefit of special discount. The wise, wide awake woman, the cash buyer of necessities waits for after the rush bargains. She scans the papers and reads every special offer. The merchant who has the boldness to be an extensive advertiser between seasons is the man who will exchange his goods into money instead of carrying them on his shelves for the next season and when the new season arrives he will have a new line to put against his less progressive competitor's " left over stock." He can afford to mak a liberal discount, for between seasons cash money will be worth a good percentage to him and may be turned over with profit several times before the next winter season arrives. The majority of business men lack courage. They curtail expenses when they should spend more money. They assist in making dull times duller. The progressive merchant by judicious advertising can obtain the bulk of the between season business. This trade exists and will come to the man who will make the right kind of an effort to obtain it. The majority of mer chants make no effort,- therefore the liberal advertiser shines all the more brilliant by the singleness of his pro gression. He pushes Tor trade when the other fellows are not pushing, and gets the business and holds it. The first thing to do after the holidays is to arrange your bargains in accord with the requirements of the season. It certainly will not pay to spend much money in pushing the sale of ice cream freezers in January or heaters in June. Second. Mark your prices down to rock bottom, between seasons, money-fetching bargains. Make your discounts liberal Third. Let the people know it, or, as a celebrated writer says, your bargains " will be like a grand I spectacular show on the face of the moon worthless, because it is without audience." Make a specialty of your bargains; people like to buy that which is es pecially advertised. They like to feel that on a certain day, at a special sale, they will get something extra for their money. This is the age of specialties, and regular goods must frequently be advertised as specialties to attract special attention. Beware of fakes, however, as the public may be faked for a short while, but to hold its confi dence and to continue in profitable business relations you must deal honestly with it. In special sales the motto should be "small profits and quick sales." The merchant does not make as much money selling at a discount after the rush, as he does at full price during the busy season. He has goods on his counters for which he wants the money. If he wants the money more than the goods, he can afford to make a discount for the money Now the question is, will he keep the goods or have the money ? If he makes a dis count and people don't know it, he had just as well not make a discount. Therefore the merchant must adver tise. One who has given his whole life to the business, says " the legitimate ad vertisement in the legitimate news paper, is worth more than any other kind of advertising. "Good auivciusiug spav Uliu8a ," yet "'tis not so much good price how much you pay, 'tis what you get! J r J " . 3 tar what you pay. No responsible merchant sells flour 1 or caiico ior less 1 nan its vaiue. io Jjgood newspaper peddles advertising space for less than it is worth to itself and to the local advertiser." Newspapers of established reputa tion, which furnish the daily happen ings to a large list of regular readers, have a posisive advertising value, and the paper with the largest circulation is proportionately more valuable as an advertising medium. THE JEWISH PEOPLE. Some Popular Errors Concerning Them Pointed Out and Cor rected. Bev. Dr. Silverman, in Menorah.J " Hebrew is the name of an ancient race from which the modern Jew is de scended, but there have been so many admixtures to the original race that scarcely a trace of it exists in the modern Jews. Intermarriage with Egyptians, the various Canaanitish nations, the Midianites, Syrians etc., are frequently mentioned in the Bible. There have also been additions to the Jews by voluntary conversions, such as that in the eighth century of Bulan, prince of the Chasars, and his entire people. We can, therefore, not be said to be a distinct race to-day. We form no separate nation and no fac tion of any nation. We form merely an independent leligious community. We are often charged with exclusive ness and clannishness, with having only narrow, tribal aspirations, and with being averse to breaking down social barriers. Few outside of that inner close circle that is to be met in the Jewish home or social group know ttusm Jcw 3 auu auv.ixi vuiucs. xi iucic la any clannishness in the Jew, it is due not to say any contempt for the outside world, but to an utter abandon to the charm of home and the fascination of confreres in thought and sentiment. However, if there is a remnant of ex clusiveness in the Jew of to-day, is he to blame for it? Did he create the social barrier? The fact that Jews are, as a rule, averse to intermarriage with non-Jews has been quoted in evi dence of Jewish exclusiveness. The historical fact is that the Roman Cath olic council held at Orleans in 533 A. C. E. first prohibited Christians to intermarry with Jews. This decree was after enforced by meting out the penalty of death to both the parties to such a union. Jewish rabbis then, as a matter of self-protection, interdicted the practice of intermar riage. And though to-day men are free to act according to their taste, there exists on the part of the Jew as much repugnance to intermarriage as on the part of the Christian. Such ties are, as a rule, not encouraged by the families of either side, and for very good cause. " So little is Judaism understood by even educated men outside of our ! ranks that it is commonly believed that all Jews have the same form of faith and practice. Here the same error of reasoning is used to which re ference has already been made in speaking of the character of the Jew as an individual and as a class. Be cause some Jews will believe in the coming of a personal Messiah or in bodily resurrection or in the establish ment of a Palestinean kingdom, the inference is at once drawn by many that all Jews hold the same belief. Very little is known by the populace of the several schisms in modern Judaism denominated as orthodox, conservative, reform and radical. It is not my province to speak exhaus tively of these sects, and it must suf fice to merely remark here that or thodox Judaism believes in carrying out the letter of the ancient Mosaic code as expounded by the Talmud ic rabbis ; that reform Judaism seeks to retain the spirit only of the ancient law, discarding the absolute authority of both Bible and Talmud, making reason and modern demands para mount; that conservatism is merely moderate reform, while radicalism declares itself independent of estab lished forms, clinging mainly to the ethical basis of Judaism. To prevent the inference that Judaism is no posi tive quantity, and that there are irre concilable differences dividing the various sects, I will say that all Jews agree on essentials, and declare their belief in the unity and spirituality of God, in the efficacy of religion for spiritual regeneration and ethical im- provement, in the universal law of compensation according to which there are reward and punishment, either here or hereafter, in the final triumph of truth, and fraternity of all men. It may be briefly stated that the deca logue forms the constitution of Juda ism. According to Moses, the pro phets and historical interpretation of Judaism, whoever believes and prac tices the Ten Commandments is a Jew. The meager results achieved by missionaries and tracts have proved how futile are all efforts to convert the Jews. " The Tew is tolerant by nature tolerant by virtue of his religious teaching. He believes in allowing every man what he claims for himself the right to work out his own salva tion and make his own Peace with God." There is nothing that encourages a man so much as an occasional word of commendation.

As a Southern Man-at-Large, He Opposes the WilsonBill Calls it McKinley's Baby in Wilson's Cradle and Swaddling Flan nels. Washington Post. Pat Dcnan, whom everybody knows and whose characteristic speeches and utterances of every kind, whether in dorsed or condemned, are read by everybody, and whom everybody likes, in spite of his caustic criticisms of men and measures, is going to have his say about the Wilson bill in this week's Baltimore Manufacturers' Record. An advance proof of Col. Donan's views has been given the Post by Mr. Thomas P. Grasty, man ager of the Washington bureau of that well known industrial weekly. After declaring that " the wheelabouts and turnabouts and willful wiggle-waggles of all America's 35,000,000 radiant and never-to-be-sufncientlyy admired daughters combined become the lof tiest exemplifications of consistency and conservatism compared with the recent antics of Southern so-called statesmen in making gold the only standard of values in America," and telling how " Southern papers clamored for the gold bug policy after opposing it for a generation, as the embodiment of political folly and financial crime," and then exclaiming that 10,000 bank- ies and mQre than 1 .000.000 1 . beggars already attest of this surrender, he proceeds to say : " This was bad enough, but there is more to come. These same South ern Democrats are now shutting their blind eyes and whooping things up for another plunge into an abyss, whose fathomless depths of darkness no telescope of prophetic woe can pene trate ; no plummet of anticipated dis aster can sound. The fiat has gone forth that the Wilson tariff bill is the crystallization of Democratic admin istrative wisdom, and must "be passed. Southern papers are boiling over with enthusiastic fervor in its favor, and adjuring their alleged statesmen to lose no time in making it the law Ctf the land To express a doubt of its i inspired adaptedness to remedy all our ills, to right all our wrongs, and to j roll in a glorious millennium of uni-' versal prosperity, in which every man ! snau be a millionaire, and every wo man shall wear diamonds as big as 4 punkins in her ears, is to set one's self down as a heretic and an atheist. " I know all this, and still I can not see why a Southern man should favor Wilson's bill. Alas ! perhaps, so much the worse for me. But I am an independent Southern man-at-large; I want no postoffice, or Van Alen spurned $50,000 ambassadorship ; and can consequently afford to say what I please, and, rarest of all rare things in American political discussion, to tell the truth. I am a radical tariff reformer, and believe in free trade, as nearly as is compatible with raising absolutely necessary revenues for a government to run on the most econo mical business basis. Hence I can speak honestly and impartially. I " They call this bill to bring about universal bankruptcy in the South a I Democratic measure. There is not ! a Democratic idea in it from head j line to tailpiece. It is a Republican ! bastared protection scheme. There is not a Democratic feature in its face. It is McKinley's baby in Wilson's cradle and swaddling flannels. " Why should any Democrat sup port it ? Because an alleged Demo cratic Congressional committee re ported it ? Arrant nonsense ! No Congressional committee is the Demo cratic party, and no bill, act, or reso lution is a Democratic measure, un less it accords with the established and recognized tenets of Democracy. A protective tariff is not Democratic, no matter by whom concocted, re ported, or supported ; and this bill is simply Modified, but little mitigated, protection. "How any intelligent Southern Democrat can hurrah for it, work for it, is beyond my comprehension, and I am a good general comprehender. It discriminates against the South and every Southern interest in ruth less fashion. " Five of the Scuth's great staples are cotton, sugar, coal, iron and lumber. This Wilson declaration of war against the South leaves them all at the mercy of the world, whose tender mercies are cruel' in all mat ters of trade. Cotton is unprotected now, and remains so under the pro posed bill. The duty on the kind of goods made by the Southern mills is cut to little or nothing, but the kind made by New England mills is pro tected according to McKinley. The bounty of 2 cents a pound on sugar is to be abolished, which is a stab under the fifth rib to sugar-making Louisiana and Florida. The duty of 75 cents a ton on coal, which is about one third of its value at the seaboard is swept away. This kills, at one fell swoop, the coast line coal trade of Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama. The duty of 75 cents a ton on iron ore, worth on an average from $2 to $2.50 a ton, is removed. This is a death blow to iron mining in Virginia, West Vir ginia, the CaroUnas, Tennessee, and Alabama. Lumber is put on the free list, which cripples one of the great industries of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. "Every Southern State is injured beyond calculation in. some of its great industries, while the average ad valorem duties on all the products of New England, that are used in the South, are about 40 per cent. " No protection for the South 40 per cent, for New England! Free trade, so far as the Soulh's grand sta ples are concerned 40 per cent, of protection for all New England pro ducts, that the South must buy ! Pil laging the South, at the rate of 40 cents on every dollar's worth, to en rich New England monopolists and protectionist sharpers! " It is a Northern high tariff and Southern free-trade hermaphrodite. It is a sectional measure, and not a national one. It is a second-handed Republican misfit measure, and not a Democratic one. " And this is the 'tariff reform' measure that Southern Democrats are called on to shout for and carry through ! Verily, the Southerner who supports it is a self-sacrificing ass, a patronage-bought renegade, or an un mitigated and irredeemable fool ! Don't you think so?" The South Farming More Wisely. Philadelphia Record. J The Manufacturers' Record, in a review of the business condition of the South, shows that the farmers of that section are now largely engaged in raising grain crops and provisions, supplies of which character they for merly purchased in the West ; and in the language of the writer, " the full result is that this section is probably less in debt to the North and West for supplies than in any year since the war ended." The thrifty condition of the South, as revealed by this showing, makes plain the beneficial fruits of diversified agricultural methods. For many con secutive years the planters of the South made the mistake of devoting nearly all their acreage to the growing of cotton, with the result of producing larger crops than could at times be harvested or marketed to advantage. Convinced by costly experience of the unwisdom of such a course, they have abandoned the policy of putting all the eggs in lAoclAfr . n n fl 1ia tulf An s vmup ing many necessaries of life, which, under their former easy-going system of living, they were accustomed to purchase. Diversification of their crops h is a'.-eady proven a good thin tor then pockets ; and it will prove a good thing also for their farms. Of course, the economic change will make it more essential than ever that the West shall have freer access to the markets of the outer world for its sur plus cereals and pork ; but fortunately the new revenue system outlined by the Ways and Means Committee, and soon to be enacted by Congress, will go as far as possible in opening the gales of commerce outward, and make work as well for the men who plow the water as for those who plow the land. No Success Without " Push." Success is a big word, and one that may be variously defined. It means one thing to one man and another thing to another. In one walk of life its interpretation is entirely different from that in some other, and that is success from one point of view is almost failure from another. But there is this in common to all kinds of success, it comes as the result of effort. Whatever falls at one's feet, whatever is received by inheritance, whatever is natural endowment, or comes by re quest, is not success, however much of good there may be about it. Success is that which is striven for that which comes as a victory to the warrior, or that which is as a laurel on the poet's brow. To achieve succes, therefore, effort must be put forth. Very generally it must be persistent, aggressive, per severing effort, that kind of effort that is so happily summed up in the little word " push." To be a prosperous merchant or manufacturer requires " push." To be an acceptable clerk or book keeper requires " push," and to be really useful in any walk of life, from the most exalted to the most commonplace, requires "push." "Push is a word also with as many different shades of meaning as there are persons to whom it may be applied. It is wonderfully classic, but all its definitions there is this idea about it. To drive forward. Strength and energy of whatever kind the individual may possess are to be used as he is able to use them as circumstances permit to drive something forward. Very generally this something is the work of duty in hand, or the business venture upon which he is engaged, or the social project he has in view. To be unsuccessful in this world for failure may come, however hard we may strive, commands pity, but to be without push" is to be contemptible. When we want to say something ex tremely severe about a young man ; when we want to condemn him un conditionally ; when we want to con vey the idea that he will never achieve success or be of any particular useful ness in the world anywhere, we say, He has no 'push' about him."
