Constant attendance at your local TJ nions ie the price that you must pay to keep up the life of your organisation!*. Have something good and new to talk about at every meeting you have. Leave the bud newe for the unorgan ized growler to tel); be always enjoys the telling of that kind of newB, any way. Union men, never for a moment for get the fact that your Union is made np ont of the reputation and character of its members, and that each and every member of the Union is at it ali the while building up the strength of the Union; or pulling down the in fluence and power of his Union atsll times! The Union password or the Union signs or grip do not make the man a good Union member; it is the iso-yd works and the character of each and every member that tells the tale to the world for either good or bad for the reputation of the Union. Give to the Union a good reputation and you have a power for good! Make a reputation for good works and you will be prosperous and happy. v Plant Cow Peas, , Plant cow peas, yoong man, and yon will not have to go west for rich lands.

It waa my pleasure to wit- t ness the exercises; and 1 havo never witnessed a mo; i inspiring and elevat ing exercise. It was on ? high order. 1 Everything showed thoroughness, discipline and training, and would hiivc done credit to any school.. 1 Thero waa a crowded nouse euch nicht. It seems to he the consensus of opinion that this school for thor- * onghnoss, discipline and training, { stands muong the ilrst in upper Caro lina. ( Tho friends behind the enterprise \ nro making no mistake in their loyal support ot tho work under Mr. Foster. The one sad regret is. that facilities i of the school are as y ot so very poor ( and uninviting. Notwithstanding this Mr. Foster says ho enrolled 191 students this your, with a better local- , ity and better facilities the school will doubtless double itself the coming [ 1 year. . 1 Mr. FoBter and his excellent corps of teachers are a credit to their raoe.

Tho American ?jente in China to bo diplomatio and consular agents and suoh others aa the President may think well to appoint. These reommondetions of Secretary Metcalf seem to coincide with the views expressed by the President when tho cotton mill delegation from the South celled on him some time ego. Tho idea of having representatives of tho United Staten located in China to give certificates to such immigrants as may lawfully land is approved also by Commissioner General of Immigra tion F. P.
