Xii t;i:l'oit tiii; i i:jM: On la?t Monday the teachers from all parts of the county asaemhlcd at Halifax to spend the wet-k in the County Institute. County Superin tendent W. A. Daniels, in presenting Prof. C. D. Mclvcr. siiid that he hoped the w ork of the In&tituto would meet with the general favor the county. He referred to Prof. Mclver as one of the forcnist educators of the State. There were preso.U at the nr.tliing ubont 40 teachers and several more came in during the first hoar, and also others later in the day. Prof. Mclvcr opened his remark? by explaining why the Institute is held and hov it came about. Moro than twelve years ajo the State established what ths onllod a Normal school at Chapel Hill for the free instruction of teachers for six weeks in June and .Inly. Many teachers in the State were not able to pay tiavcllio expenses and board. Then the Statu made four other Normal schools at different points in the State; end still many teachers wire unable to attend. Then nain the State appropria tion was increased and eight Normal schools were established at dilfereul points in Ihc State; and still many of the teachers conld not attend. The last lei-slature,trying to meet the demands of the teachers of the State. made provision for an Institute to be held in each county ; and also wade it obligatory on every teacher of public schools to attend it in order to procure acertriicate to teach in the public schools for one year. Prof. Mclver said that the la3t legislature discussed the educational interest of the Slate three times as u uch as any previous legislature in the Stale had done. Teachers are not all the need nwakeniug the real awakening must be among the parents of children. The ignorance of the State was re ferred to and shown to be alarming. Concerning public a;d to educa' tion Prof. Mclver said, " There is no objection to public education that the troth cannot meet." He said not half ot the te&chers of the State take a newspaper. 'ibe speaker grew eloquent iu re ferring to tie great resources of North Carolina, and said when our people are properly educated wc shall cease to pray for Northern capital and Northern brains to come into our State to develop its re sources. The painful but truthful charge was made that the people of North Carolina are not a reading people. One hundred years after the battle of Guilford Court House Judge Shcnck publishes a modest volume and endeavors to prove that North Carolina's sons were not cowards; but loses money by the venture of j pubhshiug only a few hundred i topics. Twenty-five years after the battle of Ciettysburg Capt. Bond publishes n 25 cent pamphlet, for he knows co other will sell , trying to show in tha face of all the hiitory thus for re corded of them that North Carolina's sons werp heroes oa that bloody field. No one tries to publish an ex haustive history of North Carolina, because it would not le bought and it1 ad by his own people. In referring to poverty as an ex cuse for net educating, Prof. Mclver said that thi is one of tbe strongest arguments in favor of educating the We have received a nicely gotten up ttatemcDt oflfce Hank of ftocky Mocnt, for tl.S year ending Decem ber 31st, 188:), it having been doing bnsiat ss one ye ir up to that date. It makes a showing fiat reflects great credit on the olliccrs. and they have a cause to be proud of their work. There is not a bank in tbe country that h on a more solid basis than this , and cur peoyle are justly proud of it. i'f.uiivhyiler. T'Ar. Democrat has time and asjam urged the establishment of a bank in Scotland Neck. The ibove item concerning the Pocky Mount ban!; is another evidence that Tiik Di:.MCt kai s arguments in the matter are sound. If Rocky Mount 18 so much rerouted by the presence of a bank , and if such satisfactory results folio v ths first year's operations, why ctinnot Sco'.Iar.d Neck do as well? Jlememhcring , as we have said to our readers 1 rfore, that there is not a bank in Halifax county; and rem inhering tint there is good business done in Littleton, Veldon, Enfkld and Scotland Neck, all good towns la this county ; and then remembering that Scotland Neck is the most progressive town in the counly, there is no reason why we should not have a bank. Indeed there is cvtry encouraging reason why we should hae one. Will not some of onr best business men look iuto the matlei ? A citizen of Rocky Mount told us hoiv much capital is in that bank, and wo will tell any one who will come to us if he has business in ins qucs'ior. i'JIi: T .4 IS I FT. EE v.

The poircr a man is the more education he need?. He called the children "the jewels of the land." On tomorrow (Friday.) Prof. Mclver will locture for tbe benefit of parents and tax payers especially. He says that the irole, and not the teachers, must be reached now in order to awaken the State on the subject of education. Tha teachers arc tu p posed to be already ah.e to the worlc. We have not had the pleasure of hearing l'rof. Mclver's lectures to the tea:herf, bat we know him well, and that, together with tLe fine im pression his work ha3 made with the teachers, warrants us iu saying that the Institute is quite a success. l'rof. Mclver will lecture iu Scot land Neck Friday night of this week. It is the custom of republican speakers in and out of Congress to draw comparisons between American laborers and tho Ialorers of the old world. And this is do e to thow that the laborer of thU country is in far better condition than his unfor tunate brother there. If the poor man m Ivirope l,o has to livo by the sweat of his fce is not p.s well off in life as his Liofhcr in America , it is not because of the unjust and inequable laws put on the statute book?, but because of the condition of society in that country and tbe surroundings, such as the denseness of tbe population, the surplus of labor, and the want of demand for labor. To make such comparisons of labor in two countries so unlike, where there is no demand for labor ia the one, and where the demand can not be supplied in the other, without stating these facts, shows an niter disregard of the truth and a purpose to miskad and deceive ; or it demonstrates a supreme and criminal ignorance of the laws of po litical economy and the laws of na tore. Europe and all Asia are crowded almost to their utmost capacity. They ere like bee-hives, they have increased, until the young er generations, mast, like the young er swarms of bees , go out and seek new homes, or perish in the old heme. As conclusive proof of this, behold Pe swarms of the people from foreign lands as they are landelby the hundred thousands jearly in the i citv ci aow l or u. 0:'e -urse laSor is Letter p&id in dollars and cents in the New World where the supply is small and the demand is great, than it is in the Oi l World where the supply is great and the demani is snail. And if all things else were eqial in both countries, then the laborer and poor man in the New World would bo twice as well off as the same man would be in the Old World, But although labor in Europe is low counted in dollars and cents, yet when we consider the purchasing power of money in the two countries, we stall fiud that one dollar la Eu rope will buy more family supplies than two dollars will buy in America. So the man ho gets one dollar per day Lere can not buy any more with the one dollar than his brother in Europe can bu with his fifty ceat3. So you see that the man who gets one dollar here gets no higher wazes than his brother who gets only Gfty cents per day in Europe. If one dollar will buy rue as much as yoar ten dollars will buy yon, than my one dollar is worth as much to me as your ten dollars is worth to you. ernmeut controlle an party, says, "No, you mast bay here at home, you mast patronize home industries, you rmst encourage our borne people." The merchant says,l'a!I things else being equal that iS right. 1 believe we all ought to encoirage home industry and home enterprise; but I can buy the goods I deal in in Manchester for just half the money I can buy them for here, and then I can sell them to mv cus tomers for half what I sball be com pelled to charge them if I buy here." The best government in the world answers back, "That is all so, you can buy in other countries for half what you can buy here; but what difference will it make with you to buy a suit of clothes in London for fiye dollars and sell them here for 3even dollars and fifty cents, and to bay the same suit here for ten do lars and ssll them for fifteen dollars! In either case don't yoa get your fifty per cent profit and id not fifty per cent profit on the ten dollars worth more to you than the fifty per cent profit on five dollars? And don't you see your profits on the same quality of goods will be double if you buy your goods here instead of buying in London?" The merchant is quick to sec a charges denials Mr. Chambtr tion, upon which he of liberty of ppcech. is a young man of line addre, whose eloquence has won high praise from the late Henry SV. Grady and other distinguished editor of the South. He speaks with fraedom and has at ready command a wealth of appro priate words. "I was elected." said hi a i lele- gate from the only colored league in North Carolina in order thut I might come here to deny from my place in thpt body that the colored people of tbo South suffer from any anusual and inhuman treatment at the bands of the white people of that section. Every little personal encounter be tween a white man and nero is magnifie 1 an 1 the whole section is anathematized as one sore spot of the republic. It is about time that the self respecting colored people of the South call a halt to the traducers of their white neighbors.

"There was no call from theSouth point, he sees at a glance that it is, for the convention. But for my per decidedly to his advantage to buy at j sonal efforts to secure ollicial recogs homo.

So he says it is not j State, and consequently no delegate nszht. "I ought to be allowed to buy i I organized the league that there where I can buy cheapest and eo ought my neighbors." 'AH right says the United States government and the republican party, "yoa may buy just where you please, I will not compel you nor i your neighbors to buy at home, yoa and they too can buy in the cheapest markets on the globe, bit I will make you pay the Federal govern racnt Gfty dollars on every hundred dollars worth of goods you buy abroad and bring to this countr' bc-L fore you shall land them in any port of the United States.' So the mer chant is at the end of his row. The republican party has got him by the horns, and has his customers by the throat. We are all bound to buy here at home from our masters at prices fixed by them, or we are bound to pay the federal govern ment fifty dollars on erery hundred dollars worth of goods for the privi lege, not of buying in London, bat for the privilege of bringing them to this country after we have bought them in Londoj. This is the case when we have got anything to bay. But how is it when we have some thing to sell: row we can cross the rivers, lakes, gulfs and oceans. might be no question as to the legal ity of my taking a seat in the con yention, and thus be afforded an op portanity to be heard in defense of ray neighbors and friends of the Soath. Rev. Mr. Price, of my State, was present as a signer of the call, but it reqaired a vote of that body to entitle him to the privilege of parti cipation in its proceedings. As a fact the convention was composed mostly of Northern delegates. ''It is true that a great number of colored people are leaving North Carolina, but not because ot persecu tion. They have had three crop fail ares in succession and they seek j better agricultural region. If perec cuted why do they not fly from it 'o the free North whore philanthropists cook pigs and place them upon the doorsteps of negroes? Instead they are going to the Mississippi Valley of the South where persecutions are as unjustly charge 1 as in my own State. 4,I do not claim that everything it as felicitous at the South as could be desired ; nor can this be so in any community of Christendom where there is a superabundant population of a lately emancipated race.
