Whv cannot North Carolina be well i
represented at the World's Fair in
1892? The men appointed to look
after the interest of the State in the
matter are urging the people to think
of and prepare to make a display of
the Old North State products that will
astonish the people of the world. If
Norih Carolina was properly adver
tised, millions of foreign capital that
is seeking investment in other States
would be devoting itself to the devel
opment or this State. All the State
needs to increase the amount of capital
that is coming to our borders is to let
our wonderful resources be known.
We have the natural lerources. We
need men with money and energy.
We must have a broad spirit of en
terprise and progress if we would go
forward rapidly.
An exchange quotes a minister as
saying that no newspaper which took
truth for a standard would make a pe
cuniary success. The press might re
turn the compliment by remarking
that no minister who' told the truth
about his congregation, alive or dead,
would occupy the pulpit more than
one Sunday afterward. The press and
clergy go hand in rumd: whitewash
brush, rosy spectacles, magnifying
little virtues are partners in saint ma-
kins;.
We admire smar-nos, 'out more do
we admire the solid and substantial.
The ed'tor or the man who attempts
to be smart at the expense of char
acter, may make people look upon
him as a brilliant meteor, but he will
never atxin their respect or confidence.
