'' -V ,. .y: : We "surrender our editorial ispace to day ,t6 the county d ebt statement sub mitted, to the board of justices on the let " Monday. It. is a very clear statement of the history of the debt, and the pro gress made iff paying it, , and is very creditable to the chairman of the hoard of commissioners, who doubtless Spent Inhnr in nre- paring it, It will prove interesting to the taxpayers of the county, as from it they will learn ' something about what the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail . road has cost them; and now that the debt is being steadily reduced and on the way to final extinction, it fcehooves the taxpayers of the county more than ever to see that their stock in this valU' able property is not disposed rof for mere song.' ., We propose to make other extracts f com the report from time to time.

Therefore, we bave now cars at Moreneaa ana on tne road on the .way tq that place loaded with furniture from Louisville. Ky., freight and all charges to be paid at point of destination as you will see by enclosed way bills. ' And we would very gladly send any freight our peeple mav ueuire lo uuuisvuio ui uuiuiio uo- yond, or to any point on the North Caro lina or Western JNortn Carolina Kau- roads. We also send freight through to Richmond without change of cars. Fur ther, our excellent express agent, Mr, Henderson, is receiving packages over our road from Europe, via new x orx, then by AH Rail and Bay Line to New born, all charges paid here. , In addi tion, summer excursion tickets can now be bought ataby of the stations on our road to Hickory, Catawba, Jttorganton Glen.

The schedule of the Atlantic I Road trains have been drawn in more than two hours over the Midland man- agement, and it is one hour quicker than any schedule ever heretofore run on the road. The cars are in good or- der. and the present schedule it is found after trial can be kept up with ease and safety. Therefore, we repeat, nothing is left to be done except united effort on the part of our own people to make rehned, once were wealthy and are get all a success and improve this section of ting rich again, very many in number, the State. John D. Whitford. v Kinston Items." We sing to the "old campaigner," as Fuck Bings to Logan: , A fine looking young man of the tribe of Judah was baptized laBt Wednesday morning at Kinston by a young Chris tian lady. The ceremony was. per formed by pouring. It is said the Democracy of Lenoir county, at the State Democratic conven tion, will do its "level best" to put a Finger" in the pie for Superintendent of Publio Instruction. The ladies of Greene county have written to us to inquire who is the Einstonian that drove through Snow Hill last Monday with the finest harness horse in Kinston a blaze face, too. We suppose he was a widower. Sheriff Davis will now soon put on his war paint" and bring in- the scalps sometime in July, viz: The Phillips scalp, the Fields scalp, the Cameron scalp, the Atkinson scalp and the nice red Grady scalp. He expects to start a bang factory in Kinston next fall. 'You are well supplied with gall And you are well supplied with nerve, And with a lot of other matters Your ambition for to serve: But for the sheriffalty, If vou are a candidate. - You have'nt got the grammar . And you nave 'nt got the weight. " The palatial residence of J. W, Grainger, Esq., of this place,- as it ap proaches completion, attracts the atten tion of the fair sex. Seven widows and two young ladies, it is said, were view ing this residence last Sunday evening and drawing straws to decide who shall occupy it. The ladies know the value of investments in real estate, . The primary and intermediate de partments of Kinston College began commencement week last Tuesday night at the spacious hall of the court house in the presence of an immense audience. with a spirited and well cnosen pro gramme sustained and enlivened with enrapturing music by Yarilla's Italian band, of Raleigh. There being a large crowd of little ones participating, the evening's pleasing, exercises were opened by Phoebe Curtis with her little speech, "Measuring tne cany." we, too, measured the babies and must say allexhbiited excellent training, while many manifested great native talent and solid mother wit.' The programme is too long to be embraced in this report; but we feel compelled to say, specially, that Harlowe Parrott. in "Mother's Fool;'' May Oettinger, in "The First Letter:" Sibyl Hyatt, in "Dressed for Meeting;" Rosa Laughinghouse, in "My Pocket,'' and Florence Einstein, in "City or Country," drew trom the vast audience wen deserved appiause ana filled overflowingly full the measure of a mother's iov and happiness. Mary Vaughn, in "b airy Folks," and Clarence Oettinger, in "What a Little Boy Thinks," show how "little folks" can please and cast the shadows of fu ture usefulness and greatness, w. u. Fordham, jr., in "Give Thanks for what r" , and Adolph Einstein, in "Smiting the Rock," exhibited fine oratorical talent and give special prom ise of holding the multitude, by tne charm of their oratory. "The Leap of Roushan Beg," by Miss Capitola Grainger, was rendered with fine effect, while Miss Lulie JLassiter, in "Shamus O'Brien," sooke as one aocus- tomed to stand before multitudes and plead. it was good and very good, s aucn are the "jewels',' of Kinston College, THE LIEUTENANT GOYEKNOR. Ittaj. John Hnghea, of New Berne. Where there ate so many good men to choose from,-it surely cannot be deemed invidious to let one's choice fall upon the peer of any tf the many, for even the Good Book saith: "For many are called but few are chosen." -we hope tnereiore that we snaiiDe pardoned bv the zealous friends of all candidates before tne convention wnen we Bay that our decided preference for Lieutenant-Governor is Maj. John Hughes, of "Hew Berne.-There are many reasons why he would make an acceptable and efficient' officer and why he should be nominated. We will take up a few of them at random. He is by all odds one of the best and most elo quent speakers in the State, and as a stump orator, has few superiors. He never does anything by halves, and will canvass from the mountains to the sea shore, if he be nominated. - He has the endurance and the physique to stand the fatigue and will not give out. He has a great amount of personal magnet ism and attracts people to him, never makes an enemy, and adds to his al ready great popularity -wherever he goes.

ITe h rr-fwtlv as the presiding officer of the Senate would reflect honor upon that body, the party and himself. lie is a resident of the Second Congressional District with its large white but larger negro popula-1 tion. lhe people of that district con- stitute a very large part of the people of the State, and it comprises very many of the largest slave-holding counties of ante-bellum days. Ite white people are furnish much of the money and a good part of the votes for each campaign are intelligent, liberal, staunch Democrats, have suffered much for their allegiance to the party, have no voice in the legis lature of their brethren, so to speak, and are practically without representation, for the Second is tha Black District. This is not right, rather, it would not 1 be right for the white people of the re mainder of the State to refuse the second place on the ticket to the white peopte of the Black Second District, for if that position were allowed them they would be measurably represented in the Uen- eral Assembly. As it is, unwise legis- lation from lack of knowledge of their needs and apparently almost despotic use of power from lack of representa tives to prevent it conspire to make the condition of some of the counties in the East anything but what it ought to be. We do not think we err when we say we believe that Mai. Hughes is the choice of the people of these counties the white people. His efforts for the adoption of the county government sys tem have characterized him as a man fully alive to the wants of that people, and they would rejoice to know that he was in a position to still further care for their interests. . Let him be nominated and it will surprise his many friends if he does not poll the largest vote of any man on tne ticket. 1. Cor. of Winston Leader. Vanilla Ice Cream.
