The edge of 'the Blade is kept sharp and cats fr Its bhare of patronage. Wrrii.its last issue the Itoauoke News, published at "Weldnu by Hall & Sledge, celebrated its 22nd anniversary. The News was established la 18GG and Las been tinder its present management for eleven yean. ' May it continue to do good for its town, for its people and for its country. Babon Fava, the Italian Minister has at last recovered from his illness and sailed for Borne on Saturday last. The Italian Government now threatens to call home her en tire legation frra Washington if the ' United States don't do to suit her. It is also rumored that Minister Porter will be requested to withdraw from that sunny luud and come home. Vuits in the. death of Gov. Daniel O. Fowle North. Carolina lost its chief officer, and one whoso administration had been satisfactory to the people, yet in his sue cessor the State can boast f a true and ' tried official. Gov. Holt takes his place in the Gnbematoiial chair, and asHumes the 'responsibilities oi onr Chief Magistrate :, wHh the best wishes of his State. - Gov. Ilolt has served the people of his State in many ways ; he has at all times been found correct in li s dealings, and we .have no fears but that his administration will be conducted with that honesty and fairness for which he is noted. , - , -The Direct Tax for North Carolina, which was paid by the people in 1SG., is to be refunded. A check for $367,000, the .' amount naid. is now In the hands of the State offiqmlfv and at the proper time will be refunded to those who paid it or to their 'legal heirs. Before this tax can be paid t be names .of the tax-payers have to be transferred from the old tax books at Washington, tha work of which began on Tuesday last, six men having been appoint, ed io do the 'copying. As soon as the lints '. fite complete immediate action will be taken by Gov. Holt to refund the money, and until then those who are anxiously waiting, roust wait on. The Wilmington. Star of the 1-tth inst., says: If there be any. truth in the latest reports from Italy somebody over there has been rubbing the hair the wrong way again and the cat's tail is ouce more defiantly elevated. It is said that Mr. Rudini and bis council have given this Government until to-day to send au answer to Italy's last note. But it seems it is not so much American blood they are hungry for as United States cash, if we may judge front the talk of Italia, a red hot oran Of avengers published in Rome which advises Mr. .Bndini to strike Uncle Samuel in his weak point, so to speak, which Italia calls his ";Mstrong box." his mosey drawer, which the aforesaid Italia thinks is the American's God. Perhaps Italia don't know what a mighty chasm the 51st Congress made in the bottom of that strong box, .and how near busted it is ; if it did it wouldn't be so cruelly advising :is government to go for tha ''largest pos , sible indemnity, Italy may need money and perhaps, a big check might prove a t soothing and effective plaster for her wound ed sovengaty and insulted dignity,' but if "she decides, in tbe event the big check is . not forthcoming p. d. q., to try her hand at a soriniTnage, aud to send some of her iron ' ships over here, she will soon find need of some .nore money to buy some more iron ships to take the place of those which our fellows will take away from her or send to the bottom. f Tns State Chronicle of Tuesday reports a sermon delivered by Dr. j, S. Thompson, col, at tiie A. M. Vt. Church in Raleigh on Sunday hist which is a beautiful tribute to tuo memory of our late Govemor.it also bears evidence of tha fact that the race prob em is dead. In the course of his re. marks hfl said i ' : 'We may bo asked why do we interest nurse vc& in a memorial : met ting ? Why uro wo moved wiih sympathy ami- mourn the loss of the Chief of this common wealth!' J will tt:l you tho reason : , Our great men stud nikis arc the common property of all.

ROPER LETTER Roper, N.O., April, 15, 1891. Editor Boakokb Beacon : We hear much said about a law having been enacted by our late General Assembly concerning employers paying employees in orders, &c A copy of said law appear ing in the Beacon 'would be very interes ting reading io tnany of us We cannot give. the wording of the law now. but pos sibly this is the substance of what you are af ter t Chapter 754 of the laws of 1891 prohibits the issue ot non-transferable scrip in this State. And chap. (i09. Scrip uot to be issued to laborers in Washington county. ED. J 1 he Roper Missionary Baptist Church has called Kev. Joseph Tinch to the pastor. age, who will be with the church at Roper on the 18th and lOiWnst. Easter celeb t ion was not held with the Roper Episcopal church until Sunday the 12tb, it being Rev. Luther Eboru's appoint, ment here. Hi accomplished daughter, Miss Nannie, was with him ou her return fiom the Normal School. The Sunday School assembled at Mr. T. W. Blount's at 3:30 p. m., and with banners formed and marched to the church, and as the front of the column neared tbe church, singing "ODwerd, Christian Soldiers" could be heard, Miss Nannie at the organ in the church, responding in the most beautifal strains as the school marched in aud took their respective stations. The Easter of ferings exceeded, I understand, those of Plymouth $4,73 and vf Cr -swell even more. Several of the young la-lies deserve special mention for their zealous christian labors as well an miss Jennie V. Sexton who led with $6,34. The day being beau tiful lent pleasure to the well kept Euster observances and all passed on pleasantly, War is rxginghere in Roper; not against the Italians, but among our merchants. Sugar is Belling at 4$ cents aud other things proportionally cheap, aud innny are tbe complaisant smiles of the people as they behold the mammoth stock of ready made Clothing at T. W. BInuut's, sold to suit any , ones purse who wishes to wear good clothes. This cutting affair has wiped out two things, high prices and the cry of bird times. Dr. Ward and lady were the guest! of Mr. T. W. Blount Sunday. The Dr. has a host of friend here who are always g to meet him Mr. Joseph Voierht one of our most en. terpriainft business men has moved with his family to your city. We regret to lose them, but our loss is your gain. Mr. B. F Ktearn made a buiness trip to Haslin Saturday and returned on Monday looking exceedingly well pleased it might be with the beautiful weather, We havo, I understand, a high school organized witb miss Minnie m. uaacr as Preceptress. A pood move witb an excel. lent teacher which places Roper where she ought to be in scaool facilities the equal ci her sister towns. The whistle of ihe Blount shingle mill is welcome music aud tbe ring ot tbe saws chimes harmoniously in with the ever busy Koper. aust urn ah, SUMMARY OF THE SCHOLAS TIC, RELIGIOUS AND LIT.

The propo sition of the Cordage Bagging Company to supply bagging at ri cents per yard for 1J pounds; hf cents for lj pounds; 7J cents for 2 pounds, aud V cents for 2$ pounds, has beeu accepted. These are maxironm prices and competition may reduce them. It is thonght that this means a sale in ad. vance of bagging tor at least half on tbe cotton crop. Heretofore, farmers have obeytd the Alliance, although it caused them to buy bagging at over a dollar per bale extra cost. Now that the prioe of jute bagging is reduced, the Alliance men will adopt it. The Cordage Company represents all but one of the jute bagging factories io the trust two years ago. The ' factory left out is said to be located in Charleston, This action of the Alliance leaves farmers free to buy cotton bagging if they .prefer, but as jutH is cheaper few of them, it is believed will buy cotton bagging, "Equal rights for all. aud special privi. legos tor none" is the motto of this Alliauce movement. This motto means that the farmer the owner of tho land means to see to it that be and his calling are not dis. criminated against in the administration of government. But it must mean m re tbau this. It must mean that tbe farmers who own land and have it cultivated by tenants, are bound to give their tenants as fair a chance to win something enduring and hubstantial, as that which they themselves demand, v e want it understood that th Alliance movement was not inaugurated simply for the benefit of the land owner, It was organized for the benefit of all men including tenants upon farms. This fact must not be lost sight of. Prog Farmer.
