Ths Broom Com Industry. Last year tho Post suggested to the farmers .of this1 State that broom corn could be profitably cultivated in this State. Uotil recently the crop sold for from $50 to $00 per ton, and there was some profit at that price. Now it has gone up to $140 to $1G0 per ton.and is in demand at that price, with tho supply short. Suppose our farmers had taken the advice of the. Post last spring and could novt send to market so:ne ton? of thi usl'u1 commodity, it would be ex yet In many cases even these gener ous donors still have a surplus great er than they or their heirs can ever use. What is wealth? A few, hundreds of - thousand. can supply every hu man desire for comfort and luxury. Then why devote life, heart and soul to the accumulation of fortune) which will never be put to any prac tical ue? Is such a course in anyway different to that pursued by the mis er whoe chief occupation and dear est pleasure lies In counting his hoard? , Frederic Harrison.a fewyears ago. called attention to the public servl ces of the rich men of Athens in its gbldt ri days, by providing games and feasts, rearing temples, baths and ncqueducts. and furnishing to its people social, literary and aes thetic enjovment, thm crowning their city with the light of an undy inglory. It is ha id that municip alities seldom succeed in a move ment of. public opinion. To be ef fectual the work must bo undertaken and earned on by private individu als.

Raleigh Post. A Change Is Demanded. A deplorable'stato of affairs is thus referred tc by the Durham Sun: . , j "Tho la3t tertn of Wake County Siiiperior Court, which adjourned Saturday, granted divorces to elev en couples. If it keeps up at the pace se- by Wako and Durham counties, North Carolina will soon have an unenviable reputation equal to that of the divorce grant ing States of the West. The ten dency of the times in this direc tion is to be deplored. ' Unquestionably a change, both in the laws concerning divorce, and the methods of trill should be had, and the pulpit and the press should unite, in a demand for this purpose. The Legislature at its next sitting should revise the laws on this im portant matter? and we cannot but believe it will do so. Raleigh Post.

The body of this young gentle man accompanied by a consider able number of University stu dents, was brought in this morn ing on the Southern, on its way tor Statesville for interment. The casket was decoratedwith beautiful flowers. The sadness of the coun tenances of his fellow pupils speak volumes of the highest esteem in which he was held. - His sorrowing father; who was in Raleigh at the time, ' came up to Chapel Hill, as soon as he - could, after hearing the sad news, and his. broken hearted mother were along this morning. - These parents and all of, the , afflicted amily have the sympathies of all in their earthly irreparable loss. May He who does not let a spar row fall to the ground-without His notice comfort them, v . We coiy from the' Raleigh Post he following account of the, ter rible accident: : A gentleman who saw the acci dent gave us the following descrip- ion: . '-. ... - "For thirty minutes' said my informant, "young Long lay un der the box car with: his arm wound around between'' the brake rod and axle of the; car, and begged that if he could not be gotten out his friends would kill him at once and get him out of his terrible ag- onv. .ie. was conscious an the time aud never saw such terrible suffering. The accident happened this r v !' way: Mr. Long was on nis way to see his father, Mr. B F. Long, Sr.', who is' attending the Supreme Court, and was setting in the wait ing r:om. At that time the Chap el Hill train was standing on a sid ing in frcut of the depot, with a box car in front 'of the engine, loading some freight. When the east-bound train blew Mr. Long started to the track to be ready to get aooard, and at the same time i the conductor on the Chapel Hill i train instructed his men to move out of the way. Just as Mr. Long stepped on the track the box car struck him and he was knocked to the ground He had not seen the Chapel Hill train until it struck him. He was knocked down and his left arm became entangled, be tween, the brake rod and axle, and he was dragged a' short ' distance. The train was stopped and for 80 minutes ' the " railroad men and friends worked to get him out, and finally the car had to be jacked up before he could be released."

That is what this war means, m nat is wnat tne war of 1861 meant Think of the unprecedented and - still un equalled progress in all that lifts the human race- and makes men happy which the American' people had achieved before that terrible event, and then behold in contrast the gradual abstrac tion oi the spirit and the re ality of independence which the forces feet in motion by it and accelerated by the pres ent war, , have accomplished! There was a time when alt tbe world, outside of the starred and spangled courts, looked to America for light in the path of liberty. .
