RALEIGH, APRIL 10. 1890.
Stay East, Young Man.
A gentleman writing fromDakoia
to the Richmond Dispatch makes
some pointed remarks as to the folly
of young men leaving their eastern
homes to carve out a fortune in the
far West. The writer is a North
Carolinian.
"Dakota is a yery rich.fertile coun
try.but none wants his garden on the
outside of a tin can. Nor verily is it
comfortable to retire clad in fur cap
and gloves."
Verily, verily I say unto yon, if you
have a friend who has the "Promise
Land" (reservation) fever say unto
him; Ccme to Dakota in the month
of December and let him stay until
May the 1st, and his fever will be low
chilled. Oft in this long winter have
I hungered for dear old North Caro
lina with her piney old fields and bad
roads. No Virginia or North Caro
lina man in his right mind wants to
exchange the best country on earth,
taking climate, luxuries, working
months, four seasons, agricultural re
sources, varied, for this God forsaken
one crop country (and that, loo, a
success one year in seven),fertile,cold,
dry, treeless,and minus of home com
forts. ' "lis true I have never seen such
grit as these people display. Under
such reverses they have built im
mense towns, with all the imported
comforts, hotels, schools, churches,
&c, that will put any State in the
shade. But what does it amount to
when you take into consideration the
total absence of other perquisites to
make life a heaven? Darn a country
where a man is forced to put on a fur
coat, fur cap, and fur gloves every
time he Bteps outside the door. The
"Promise Land" is not being filled
up. There are few boomers here.nnd
none en route. Stay home stay in
the South. It is the coming country
on this continent - and among them
all, stay in Virginia and North Caro
lina. We have the country, "God's
country." We do need the pluck to
work. If Virginia and North Caroli
na would diversify their crops by
planting something of everything
(and we can grow them all save the
tropical and semi tr pica! plants and
fruits), the people Avould soon need
no mortgage and would be free of
debt. There is nothing that we can
not beat these people at if we would
only try. As David C opperfield v ould
say, I have "meandered." 'Just charge
this meander and digression to my
love for the South, Virginia, and last
but not least, to grand old North
Carolina.
THEY KILLED EACH OTHER.
Bntrlo to Death Between cen
tipede and a ltattlesiiakt'.
Chicago Daily News.
"Ugh! What U it? Take it t.w.iy
The frightene.l speaker w;;s one of
several employees of Pierce & Co,
engaged in handling hardwire in the
bnseiuent of the firm's establishment
in t'roadway. says the tau Francisco
Examiner, 'lie had a; most placed his
hand upon the objtct that had star
tled him.
"Look out ! It's a centipede, aud a
big i ue, too," crie I one of his com
panious. It must have got into one
of the packages f bananas or other
goods shipped at a southern port
while the hardware was on board the
vessel on its way from the est.
This was ample warning to prevent
careless meddling with the centipede,
but the hardware men determined to
capture him. and alter a little effort
the many legged eurio was scooped
on a shovel and carried up ttairs.
But even then they didn't know what
to do with it.
In the drugstore adjoining a moo
ster rattlesnake, kept ms a curiosity,
was in a box in the show window.
"Let's put him in with the rattler
and start a zos,v said one of thp group,
and the suggestion was received with
approval.
The centipede was carried iu and
dumped into the box with the rattle
snake. An ominous rattle and quiv
ering of the body of the snake show,
ed that he resented the intrusion,
and the centipede, apparently realiz
ing his danger, made frantic efforts
to escape by crawling around the
edges of the box. The rattler glared
with fury upon the venomous crowl
er, and attempted several times to
coil and strike the intruder, but the
space of the box was too limited, and,
after several vain efforts.whichallthe
time were accompanied by an angry
rattling, the snake, gliding forward
with darting tongue, gradually closed
up on his enemy, and the centipede
was soon writhing in its agonies.
But it was not vanished without re
taliation. The many legs of the cen
tipede had been doing their deadly
work, and when the snake moved
away from his victim, he himself
began to show signs of distress. He
tossed about from one side of his box
to the other, rolled ever, coiled and
uncoiled his scaly length, and in
every way except by criss, betrayed
his agony to the interested spectators.
In about an hour the body of the
snake began to swell rapidly. His
struggles became gralually weaker,
and in 2 hours from the time the fight
commenced his suakeship rolled over
and died. The poison of the centi
pede had done its fatal work. The
body of the snake was swollen to
twice its natural size The rattle
snake and the centipede lay dead
together in the box, and thus ended
the strange duel.
Invited to Richmond.

Carolina State Guard, and Col. Jones
