And instead tf ; making it a throne of power, an oracle of wisdom, by ; which to stimulate knowledge, to mould thought and to' restrain populak 'passion, they haVe made it a vehicle of vulgar preiodice, a platform of silly sentiment i ' and personal bitterness, and have woun ded through its misdirected energies the best and noblest sympathies of the. peo ple. In France the richest endowments ' and tmoflt fiied,;accqmplfehment9; iof scholars have contributed to the;success of journalism.: 'No old literary hack!or ". poorly educated demagogue would havy N dared to address the people of Paris ; as ' an editor,' at least not since the days of the first ? revolution,' Ihe . shrewdest politicians, ' the : ablest thinkers,-, the sharpest writers and the most finished intellects have addressed public senti ment through .the 'newspapers.

Hut with us, anr a lon& and dreary ebb tide the joyous flood is just begin ning' to make," and the journalists of iorth Carolina should lay down sound maxims, and stick to them to the end. Some. of the older inembers of the pro-, lessionincctnodayaof Fulton.Uale and Holden have seen many a gallant news paper frigate' with her double-shotted, roaring guns go down forever, and yet they are still here. They are the leaders of thought in their commentaries, respected tor their wisdomagacity and experience, and have become worthy landmarks to be consulted by the rising generation. Among them are keen thinkers, polished paragraphers, scholarly critics and eloquent speakers. They have a con trolling voice with the public. Men trust them as they do old, reliable bank ers, merchants and physicians. They may strike out a little reckless some times on local or political questions, but when it comes to the great, vital, car dinal interests of the country every body feels that they are safe. It is to the vounsrer journalists, how ever, that we look most hopefully for r.L.

They are more thoroughly educated, write, with more grace, accuracy and force, have more individuality .deliver their opinions with more modesty and dignity, enter more fully into the spirit of their pro fession, and exhibit finer business talents in the financial ' management of their work. . These youthful editors are. the coming men oi the latter day. They gather around them many hopes. They are hunting among the stranded wrecks that strew the long stretch of beach for hidden treasures. They, are to raise North. Carolina out of her' old time selfishness, slugcisKness and indifference. They nra, , ta.5acji -her tho. fo' the wwkedneWof eh1g step-mother io ner owncnnuren, witnnoiuing irom them the bread and the honors which otherStates are always ready to give them. They are to fire her bosom with some of the nursing tenderness, ' which has always . made Virginia the. home, not only of fair women and brave men, but of laurelled and grateful workers, faithful to the proud mother who bore them . They are to give to North Car olina a more powerful breed of thinkers, writers and speakers. At their invoca tion eloquence with her old Greek and Koman robes will stalk back again into our colleges, pulpits, senate chambers and forums. Learning will cease to he a question of diagrams, calisthenics: and and-military drills and episodes, and I will return to the Tough, rugged road of pure mental analysis: A& the standard of journalism goes up the base, arogahce of Jxditics will come down. Only let these coming defenders of the faith be careful, that they make a stand at once against those twin deities of the . times, sensationalism and mammon, or else they will have in vain - pledged - them selves for the purification and . redemp tion of the country. New Berne, K. C. . . NORTH CAROLInVtOWNS- HssJersoti. The thriving town of Henderson 1 18 ilie svnonvm lor woeTess.' No town in the State is making faster strides or giving greater evidence 'of substantial prosperity: On every side we see' im provements?' - The ' .private, residences, fine storesy public buildings, factories and warehouses ;all give token of thrift, energy and money making1: - The car penter and brickrqason' vie with, each other in the rapidity of erecting buildings. One of the handsomest in architectural beauty and design, not only in Hender son, but in North; Carolina,' is Joseph . Pogue's tobacco -factoiy, ; which is just completed. . rvThis building k is .102 feet long, 42 feet wide and three stories high'. ' The building; is of brick ' and is covered with a thick- fire-proof metalic roof j The walls of the first story are 20 inches thick and IS feet pitch; of the second story; 16 inches-thick and 11 feet pitch; of the third story, 12 inches thick and 10 feet pitch. " The founda tion of the building is of flint brick and 24 inches in. thickness. ' The outside of tho building presents most; imposing appearance, combining-! unique beauty and massiveness. There' are eight pil aster on each Bide and four on each end. ' Each of these pilasters has reces ses in it between each story which gives to the building a 'new;' original and tasty look The .walla1 are parapetted on" the1 sides, and elevated at both ends. On the face of each' of these' elevated ends is to be seen the sign beautifully painted of "Jos. EL, Pogne's Tobacco Works." Oa the broadside facing the business part of the town, and above the' third story window, is a panel eighty-five feet long and four and a half feet high, with "Jos. E. I'ogue's Tobacco "Works' painted thereon in letters over four feet high; this lettering k executed in the most artistic and ele gant style. .This fine structure front immediately on, the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad on one side, and the main street on the other. This immense building is devoted entirely to the manufacture of chewing tobacco, and is perhaps the most complete in its ar rangements of any factory in the State used in that business. The first story of this factory isdevoted to rolling and prizing; the second to assorting and casing; the third to hanging, ordering and storing plug tobacco. The walls of the second and third stories are well plastered with cement. The joists of each story are of extra heavy timber and are well anchored six inches into into the massive brick walls. These joists are braced with two rows of strong bridging on each side of the heavy girders which run under the floors of each story. These girders are suppor ted by large center posts which reach from .the first to third floor. These strong center posts stand on heavy granite foundations at the base of the building and give to the interior just what it is, a strong massive look seldom seen. This factory is well lighted with fifty-five well arranged windows, and has five outside doors. The flooring is of fine 5 inch dressed lumber, secured with secret nails. The dry house is well arranged and joins the main building. The "office" is near the front entrance on main street, and combines both com fort and business, all of its appointments being complete. Over 500,000 pounds of plug tobacco per annum is the ca pacity of this model factory. -Joseph E. Pogue, Esq., the originator and proprietor of this big .enterprise, is a native of Tennessee, and is 29 years old. He commenced the manufacture of tobacco on his own account, in the tOhderaaiiu and by his maomitaDie will, energy ana push, has now built up: : a trade second to none in the South. He k a man of very decided .business qualifications, combining in a 'large degree that sine aua non to success, promptness and integrity in all his dealings with men. Therollowingare hk well known brands of plug tobaccos: "Reindeer," "Compe tition," "Enterprise," "Solid South " "Fanny Pern," "Legal Tender," "Kitty Ga" Captain Bragg" and "Poise's Premium.", He made the best exhibit of plug tobacco from North Carolina at the Awarita Cotton Exposition. ; Mr. Pogue exhibited and carried off the sweepstakes at three consecutive State tairs, winning first premiums -over all competitors .i v?i V;,, ; pr;.-". Mr.- William .H. Walkeif waa, admitted to an interest in the tobacco business of Mr. Pouge on January 1st; 1882. ' Mr. Walker is a native of Casswell ; county, k 24 vears of age'.He has been' book-' keeping for Mr,; Pogue since 1879. He k a young man of good business quali fications, perfectly reliable and attentive to business. Messrs. Pogue & Walker are superlatively polite and agreeable gentlemen. Mr. Pogue has . traveled extensively 1 throughout) the- Southern States, and by hk gentlemanly bearing has won the confidence of . the business men of the country, as the rapid growth of hk business so well testifies. :j Hk beautiful factory does credit to him, and k an honor to Henderson. ' - a 1 ' ' It gives the writer pleasure to sity that Mr, Pogue k receiving 'what he1 so justly deserves," the patronage of an appreciative public l" 1 R.B. JOHNSTON COUNTY. -V. Johnston county was formed in 1746 and was' tfamed in honor ! of- Gabriel Johnston, who was Governor of .North Carolinafrom 1734 to 'the time ' of hk death, 1752. He found! the people in dktress, caused by bad management by Governors who .had proceeded him He, hoyrever pursued ,.a . course of, policyr which satisfied the people that 'he was the right man and in the 1 right place. Many wholesome Jaws were made during hk administration. I am glad to' know that old Johnston county was called in honor to hk great name.. Thircounty k highly favored with water courses. Nuse Elver runs- through-near'- the centre from north to south. ? and iri the f course of a few weeks or months will be made navigable,, for , steamboats to Smithfield. , ;The three creeks" as they used to be called, attracted emigrants to their " inviting soil .long .before 1 our fathers declared thev . would ' ba i ao longer slaves to Britain' and shook ' off tho yoke of, tyranny, ,MiU creek and Hannah . creek are .notable for -their rich low lands, both of which were made navigable for eimdl rafts of ton timber about the date 1B48. Little River, on which k located the Lowell cottou and wool factory, i also notable for its rich lands and mill sites. Johnston county is situated about the centre of the State, the northern portion k somewhat rocky and hilly and the southern portion is sandy and level. Its eaprf&l v Smithfield and dktant twenty- Lsei miles sontheast jpf Balcijjh. loo f aet tiink there k any portion of this eeunty more healthy than Smithfield, the rreat number of children raised here is an evidence of that fact. I have imagined that if I was a citizen of the low part of North Carolina and desired to seek a healthy place, Smithfield would he as high up in the State as I should desire to go and it would be lis low down if I was living in the up country. John H. Wheeler in his hktory of North Carolina gave thk county only two pages when to some counties he appropriated about twenty. Much might! be said about the many great and good men who in their day strove and succeided in building up a good name for thjs county and their patriotic sons are engaged to maintain it. To me, it would be a great pleasure to see sketches of leading men of this county whon I knew1 personally fifty years ago. The name of many of the great and good men pf former days pass through my mind) I will not name them now but will leave the pleasant task and duty to a more able pen. From Wheeler's history we learn that the first meeting of the Provincial Council was held at the court house in Johnston county on the 18th of October, 1775 and that a second of said Council was held at the same place on the 18th of December' 1775. Smithfield was quite a small burg in that day, but all great cities have their beginning. I nave seen an old book which described a number of circumstances relative to Smi,thfield. which took place at the time of its birth or organization, I would be glad to see that same old book again. It described the duty of , the commis sioners in regard to making sales of town lots and the obligations under which the ymrchsrjfsiplaoed; whatJad.of. fhouse he was required -- erect on nis lot within two years, failing to build as required,'the contract was made -Void. ; - a. - SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS. , (Baleigh Observer.) North Carolina is more wide awake to-day than ever before in her history. The people are more given to thought than ever before. They are progress ing. The factory boom continues and is growing. Agriculture k on a bask. It k better understood and fields are more thoroughly cultivates. We pro duce more to the' acre than formerly, and better still, our crops are more diversified. They used to call us the turpentine State, and then the peanut State, now we are known for our cotton, nee, forest productions, minerals, fabrics tobacco. And as we have pro 3d in these things we have pro gressed intellectually. , ,tn every county nearly, xnere is a newspaper, and the State is dotted over with schools. With June came the sea soft of commencements, and any State might have been proud of our North Carolina : commencements. And now we, are entering on the season of nor mal and teachers' institutes. The ac counts we have received of them- show that our teachers are live folks, seeking earnestly self-improvement, desirous of learning ine.Deuer to leacn. J-ne im petus given to the cause of education in the State of late k remarkable. It stamps itself indellibly on thk period of our nistory, ana imparts io s a uisuuci character.. We are all being stirred to unusual exertion iand . progress is the watchword. The new- railroads, tele gratB,:. telephones, steamboats,'' addi tional mail facilities,' show that we are moving forward at amighty pace.r Our development js confined to ao section, no department, no interest, . ; We are all on the ruslw Another decade ' of.' con tinued vork peace and ' prosperity will Arid us -'far' advanced -and greatly changed -We welcome the progress. . NORTH CAROLINA VIEWED BY NORTHERN HEN, found it the finest country for a combination of mining, . manufacturing and agricultural industries I have seen, and I have seen pretty much all of thk country, save?- the extreme. Southwest In the valeys there, k the finest farming land you ever saw land that his? been cultivated for half a century wjthout a particle of fertilizer, and yet it raises fine crops of corn', fifty bushels 0 more to the acre, it The country,, is, full bf minerals of all sorts, but those of most value' are iron and mica. They are abundant and valuable. ; ; Why, in' that portion ! of" the ' Staterthe 'mountain repiou in tire western eud I found a section of country thirty or forty miles long and many miles in width full of the finest iron ore, brow n hemetic, with sixty of seventy percent, of fine mineral, and extending to a great depth. Then, just beside it, k the limestone to be used io make iron and steel. Why, the iron that has been used in that sectiun for plow points for generations has been mright there, in . tbe Utt jJaiBte W. furnaces, with charcoal, making really excellent steel. There are a number of railroads being projected in and through that region, and men are traveling through the counnry where they are to run, representig Cincinnati, Chicago and Indiana dealers, and are buying up all the walnut timber that they can obtain within reasonable distance of the pro posed roads. They buy them, paying from five dollars to sixty dollars per tree, and after marking the tree, leave it standing in hs place, but taking a deed for it signed by the seller and hk wife, just as a deed for real estate is gifen. There are thousands of these being bought in that way." THE OPE 1G FOR THE SOUTH. ( Greensboro Patriot.) It is a well established fact now that the future greatness of the South, con sidered us a distinct section of the country, lies in its fibrous productions. Its new staple k to be jute, which it k capable of producing throughout the Mississippi delta of even abetter quality and in fully as large quantities as it is produced in India. The total value of the j ate now produced k estimated at $100,000,000. The Gulf States, it has been contended for some time, would readily naturalize the plant. At last, year before last, an American merchant of Calcutta who k extensively engaged in the jute trade, found jute growing wild in Florida, and he worked out some of the fibre and sent it to an agricultural! fan- at Jacksonville. Still, the valuable hint did not seem to be taken. The same gentleman has since been seeking to impress it upon Louisiana planters that the whole Mississippi delta k the richest nossible field for the Droduction .- - m mt wealth right - at their nana - &xper ments since made show that India Jute i - i .1 dt 1 can pe grown in tne unu otates as easily as Indian -corn, and that there k an almost perfect identity between the conditions of its growth in- India and America, so that jute culture k likely soon to become an important article of Southern industry.

It is a little remarkable that the streets of Rockingham look duller and more deserted on thisr the "glorious fourth," than , they have for months past You could not, go out on the street and count half a dozen colored people. It k to be hoped that they have come to the wise .conclusion that it.k better for them to. stay in their fields and chop the grasa from -amongst their cotton and com than to be parad ing the streets with flute and drum, and raising aloud their -voices in honor of the Declaration of Independence,, a something, about which they know as much as tney ao aoout tne man in tne moonL: "'.";" ,,J We have the most abundant crop of fruit that has been : known in this county for yeara.
