TO THE PEOPLE OF MCCRORY.
It is a matter of no great' im
portance to you whether or not
) our choice was nominated in the
primary. These things are large
ly matters of sentiment, and have
little lasting effect. But it is a
matter of grave importance to you,
as to who shall be your heir and
successor. Do you feel that your
duties cease when you furnish the
school building, the teacher and
the children ? Are you willing to
furnish these thiDgs at large ex
pense, and then not get the largest
measure of good from them! Can
you get this largest measure of
good if your children do not see
their books from the close of
school on one day ’till the opening
of school on the next! If the
girls visit, and the boys play
“Hog Eye,” can they do good
school work? Can boys on the
streets at all hours of the night,
learn the things yon prize most
highly?
The good people of McCrory
have established here a lapidary
where the rough diamonds of
character are being cut and polish
ed. In this work-shop, day-by
day, is being wrought out and
shaped the character of those who
are to control this country for
many years; and that the people
realize and appreciate the value of
this school, it needs but to be men
tioned that here every interest
centers, and that much money is
spent to provide conveniences for
carrying on the work.
The policy of the school is to
secure the highest possible devel
opment of the pupils with the
means at our command, and the
pupils are urged to fit themselves
for, and to aspire to a more finish
ed education than a public school
is supposed to give.
We realize that teachers cannot
educate pupils, but that it must
alone come from individual efforts,
hence it is the effort of the teach
ers to hold up to the student body
such examples as are worthy of
imitation, and to inspire them to
nobler things.
Parents will you not borrow
time enough from your other
duties to aid us while we teach
your children some of the things
that will fit them to hold their
own in the battle of life, where
none but the fittest survive?
There is a purer friendship, a
warmer heart, a deeper happiness
for those who worship in the in
tellectual cify, aud whose mental
vision sees, not the dull things of
earth, but the Pyramids, the Par
thenon, the Acropolis.

How To Judge Books
Would you know whether the
tendency of a book is good or evil,
examine in what state of mend you
are in when you lay it down. Has
it induced you to suspect that what
you have accustomed to think un
lawful may, after all be innocent,
and that may be harmless which
you have hitherto been taught to
think dangerous ? Has it tended to
make you dissatisfied and impa
tient under the control of others;
and disposed you to relax in that
self government, without which
both the laws of God and man tell
us there cau be no virtue, and con
sequently no happiness? Has it
attempted to abate your admiration
and reverence for what is great and
good and to diminish in you the
love of your country and your fel
low beings ? Has it addressed it
self to your vanity, selfishness, or
any other of your evil propensi
ties? Has it defied the imagination
with what is loathsome, or choked
the heart with what is monstrous?
Has it disturbed the sense of right
and wrong, which the Creator has
implanted in the human soul? If so
if you are conscious of all or any
of these effects, or if, having escap
ed from all, you have felt that such
were the effects it was intended to
produce, throw the book into the
fire, whatever name it may bear on
the title page! Throw it into the
fire, young man, though it be the
gift of a friend; young lady, away
with the whole set, though it should
be the prominent furniture of rose
wood bookcase. There never was
such a rage for book-reading as at
the present time. It is a commend
able habit, only one cannot be to
careful in the selection of books.

KIND WORDS FOR ARKANSAS. |
Says the Kansas City Journal in
speaking of our State: Arkansas
has been awarded first prise for
the finest cotton, in the world; she
produces the finest and most valua
ale pearls in the world; she never
fails to take the prise
for the finest fruit; the hay from
her broad alfalfa fields has never
been excelled; her marble is attrac
attention through the entire coun
try she produces as fine rice as ever
tickled the palate of man; her
mineral deposits are among the
richest of any state in the Union
her coal fields will rival those of
any state in the south; her vast
timber resources place her right up
in the front rank among the great
lumber producing states in the Un
ion, and to cap the climax, she
startles the world by producing
some of the finest diamond ever
brought from the bosom of Mother
earth in any part of the world.
The repeal of the tax on denatur
ed alcohol opens up wonderful
possibilities in the way of its
profitable employment in the in
dustries. The experience of
European countries, where spirits
are cheap in price and used ex
tensively in the arts and in manu
facturing, affords some hint of
what is in prospect. Germany
alone required over seventy million !
gallons yearly in its industries,
while France makes over 100 mil
lion gallons not only from pota
toes, beets and grain, but even
from sawdust. A French savant
has been successfully extracting
500 pounds of sugar and reducing
it to 25 gallons of pure alcohol
from a ton of ordinary sawdust.
Consequently the supply is prac
tically unlimited, as we can draw
power not only from the plants of
the field but from the trees of the
forest.
