It ought to be encouraged, fo's- vtered, aided and promoted by every , lueuiis wHiiiu ui power ui a com munity. The people of. this town and surrounding country appreciate being done in ita support ; hence we . are not surprised at finding so large an assemblage of teonle here this week, leaving their business engage ments temporarily to meet in con vention on the subject for the dis tinctive purpose of encouraging by their presence, their -approving smiles, as well as tender words of sympathy and ' counsel, the little boys and girls who are pressing on ward to the attainment of gospel knowledge. The cause constitutes the great' fact, paramount to all oth ers, that marks the present era in our civilization, and the body now in session here gives due emphasis to its importance. True, held under the auspices of one church, the occa sion is designated as the Methodist . Sunday-school Conference of the Fay etteville District ; and yet, as far as the absence of the least appear ance of sectarian ' con ventionalties ; inditate its character, the observer would regard it as the impersona tion of the .Sunday-school cause in the' assembling of its friends without regard to denominational lines. It is practically that, for all the schools of all the churches use the same les sons week after week and are en gaged in the same orthodox course of study in the Scriptures, and other denominations wilt ..hold their con ventions periodically in which each likewise will ever be found ready to co-operate in furtherance of. the one great object. This is as it should be, and, united in "the bands of pHre - delightful peace," the Sunday-school armies will,, eaeh under its- own lead ers and tactics, remember only the divine com mand -"that they go for ward." r'; Jl The Conference met on yesterday K at 9 o'clock a. ro.,to be closed with ' an appropriate religious service and the celebration of the Hay "street Sunday-school anniversary on to morrow. After an address of wel come by the pastor of Hay street church, and a response on behalf of the delegates assembled, the busi ness ieaturp was properly in order, which consists i a reports irom ine various Sunday-schools giving the number of schools- anp: scholars, of ficers, male and female teachers, re spectively,, of the number of parent attending, amount of money raised within the past year, , how much for . missions, &c. The exercises are in terspersed with music, and discus sioris participated in by ministers ' and laymen are appointed on spe cific"8ubjects such, for illustration, as the following : "What can. be done . to render the Sunday-school more efficient? These reports, faithfully rendered, add immensely to the en- - couragement of the cause, and the ' workers engaged, therein j while the discussions, conducted with ability . and decorum, prot both edifying ana &llmuialg m icucncu nvuutj and interest among the- people at .'large But an editorial letter is not ex pected to be'eoufined to one theme. -however absorbing the theme may be. How are the diops from one given point to another, and what about things in general? Ah crop prospect ; is exceptionally, good , ; as - judged by appearances and the tes Lmoy4 of talkers on the subject- that is, with reference to the staple crop's of cotton and corn;ii The sea . son so far has been generally favorr able, and it is a .common topic of re mark that farmers are nearer up with their work than usual. We saw no- nounsning. neias oi wnea .

The entire exDenses of the town eovernment are Daid bv he liquor tax, each bar-keeper being taxed $240 yearly for the privilege of selling the ardent. As ian " illust ration of public spirit in her citizens hree facts are worthy of mention : they have a brass band first-class a military company, ditto, and actually a fire company provided with as good ;an engine" as there is on the line of the Carolina Central. From Maxton to Fay etteville y ou pass through a succession of saw mill villages, there being as many as live mills clustered around one point on the road Red Springs. If Max- ton and this place are not built up rapidly now it jwill not be for the want of dumber ready to hand. There are evidences, especially here, hat much of it is being utilized. In deed, the general im pression one gets of Fayetteville at this time is inai its lace is towards tne rismsr sun. A magnificent hotel is in pro- cess oi erection on the site of the old "Fayetteville," and it will be finish- ed by the Fall. Other buildings are going up, and the outlook in busi- ness circles justify high expectations on the part of her citizens. A lim ited number of "Old South" repre sentatives, who contributed to Fay etteville's best prosperity in the past, yet move industriously upon the stage of action; and just enough of the "New South" spirit, we imagine, has become diffused among her peo- pie to make sure work of placing the historic old town where she properly belongs along side the prosperous cities of the State. The New York Evening Post ut ters a big growl because of the "start ling fact," as it alleges, that "of the thirteen United States district judges appointed in the South by, Republi can Presidents during the ten years preceding Mr. Cleveland's inaugura tion no less than seven, or a majori- ty of the whole number, were out and out rebels." The New York Herald very promptly comes to the rescue. It says : "As a matter of course most of the Southern federal judges are what the Post cynically calls "rebel jurists." There is nothing "startling" about that. Southern lawyers are natural ly and properly selected for the Southern Bench just as Northern lawyers are selected for the Northern Bench; and the fact that the ablest Southern lawyers of to-day were Confederates is nothing - against them, since pretty much everybody living in the Confederacy during the war was a Confederate. VBut there are no "rebel jurists" nor "rebel" judges now. ; The war ended long ago, and long ago its re sults were accepted in good faith by the South. There has been no com plaint and no ground for complaint against the judicial principles gener ally, affirmed by the federal Bench in the South. The appointment of I Southerners to that Bench has been regular and proper ; the appoint ment of Northern carpet-baggers would have been an abuse. It is expected that President Cleve land will select a judge from the South to fill the vacancy in the U. S, Supreme Court, and such a selection may be made, not only with perfect propriety, due aiso wiin aa vantage to the nation. North, Carolina has a number of I uniqiie magistrates. . The Raleigh Signal gives an account of one in that city who was engaged in trying a rery important case, and, after the evidence was all in,, plaintiff's law yer sDoke for over one hour, and then the defendant's lawyer com? Lmenced,. when the justice was no ticed to write a few words on a piece Lof , paper and- deposit it in the , first , volume of the- Code, put on his hat, and remarked to the dumb-founded attorney, "You can continue your aVument without limit, and when y ou have concladed you- will find my decision on that strip of paper and he arose and lefk The decision discharged the defendant and taxed the prosecutor with the cost Chart. lotte jUhronicle.1 .

So long as we have a rich government, with millions in the treasury, the masses 'of the people ! will be poor. The government must stop robbing the people. H. C.

Call and ex amine his stock before purchasing Good Work. From the Wilmington Star. In the last twenty years the white men of North Carolina have proba bly taxed themselves more than five million dollars to send negro chil dren to school, to provide for the deaf and dumb and blind, and for the helpless insane. They have placed this burden upon themselves from a sense of duty and humanity. In many other ways they have shown their sympathy and kindness. Now how have these been met ? In what way have the negroes manifest ed the slightest appreciation of the. kindness hd sacrifices, or shown the feeblest gratitude? They have through all this score of years aided, sided, voted with' the party that their white benefactors and friends stead fastly opposed. Nay, they have shown a positive "hostility often to , . 0 . r ... . ', , , their Southern white neighbors, and have been ready at any time to vote for measures that robbed, oppressed and worried the white men who tax ed themselves heavily for the bene fit of the blacks. ; v .
