There never was since Xorth Car olina became a State, that such aD interest was manifested in agricult ure as is beiiis: done to-day, not ooly by the farmers themeeUes, but by all classes of our citizens. This is doe to several causes, but mainly through organization. That this ele ment of society is rapidly coming to the front, no man of intelligence vrho is not governed by prejudice can deny. There is more acting, more thinking, more investigation and more everything being done by this clas3 to-day, than was ever known in this world's history before. The day has gone, and gone foreyer,when the farmer will be depriyed of the political , social and all other ad vantages that the rest of humanity enjoy. In the future, instead of nis being led, he will lead, especially in all those economic questions that concern his peace and prosperity.

WORTH CONSIDERING, TheGreenvillei'' ;'(' c?or of last week made some very timely observations on our educational interests ia EasN ern Carolina. It says : The educational progress of Xorth Carolina for the last decade has been yery satisfactory, viewed as a whole, but viewed with regard to sections tne eastern counties hava fallen far behind the western. Perhaps one explanation of this is that the ef fects of bad crops fur the last few years have not been so sorely felt in the west as in the east, and the peo ple have not been in such btnngent circomstances. lint we think a far greater reason is the indifference of our eastern people in the matter of education. From a careful review of the catalogues of our Colleges and University It will be seen that the eastern counties of Carolina do not keep pace with the western in the number of students. While thi is the ca9e with regard to the Un iversity and the three leading Col leges of our State, there are several other Colleges of lower grade which draw their patronage almost exclu sively from the western counties. The academies of the west are not only more numerous, but they also receive a much larger patronage. Co to most any ot the larger towns of West Xorth Carolina, and among the prominent buildings you will iee the school buildings. Wherever the population is large enough they have a well regulated Graded School, and where the population is cot ouliiclent they have good academies, and they unite and support these academies and are not divided into a half dozn or more schools like we are in the east, when one mixed school or two, moid and one female, are enough r 4 . m m rm- y si T T "4 1 A TO MAKE ROOM FOB Lru forna puce.

We see no goud excuse for tbis intellectual lethargy among our people. Our Gelds are as productive, and our resources are ag good as those of the west. While .hey may have the advantage of us in some things , we hare the advant age in others. It is time our people were waking up to the importance ol mo:e and better education.
