A Raleigh paper informs us that in ine case ot ine .state vs. it. At. Aimer & Hons, of this city, appealed from the criminal court, tne supreme court iounti tnat mere was no error in Judge 31 eares' decision. The law re quiring home drummers to take out a license to solicit trade on the streets, is therefore declared to be unconstitu tional by the highest legal authority of the State. Judge Meares' decision on the case was that the law, in allow ing ome drummers rebates upou cer tain conditions, makes it discrimina tial. An appeal was taken to the su preme cuurt, and Judge Mearse' was sustained. "This law being now final ly declared unconstitutional, the State Treasurer will be called upon to re fund something in the neighborhood ot 100,000 which has been collected lroiu )TtVme merchants under the pro . visions of the law. 5 -; -r UUjIj XVK ON KDITiSd. A Journalist's KlndAdvioe to the Wis- j consin Kditors. j The newspaper ot Uw'.ay is a library, j It is an encyclopaedia, a poem, a bio- j juraphv, a history, a prophecy, a direc- I tory, a time table, a romance, a cook- ; book, a guide, a h-smsc-opo, an art trit- c, - X resume, a around p;an i fiviiiZi'il v.oiid. a hv-.v-plieed ii.iiHii.;i in parvo. !t is a senuo;:, a j sunt', a circus, an oikitnary, a picnic, a j shipwreck, a symphony in solid bre- j vicr, st mediev of life and death, a. i granil aggregation or man s glory and his shame. It is, in short, a birdVeyo view of all the magnanimity and mean ness, the joys and griefs, the births and deaths, the pride and poverty of the world, and till for two cents some times. I could tell you some more things that the newspaper of to-day is if you had time to stayr here and your business would not suffer in your ab sence. Among others, it is a long-felt want, a nine-column paper in a five column town, a lying sheet, a feeble effort, a financial problem, a tottering wreck, a political tool and a sheriff's sale. If I were to suggest a curriculum for the young man who wished to take a regular course in a school of journal ism, preferring that to the actual ex perience, 1 would say to him devote the first two years to meditation a::d prayer. This will prepare the young editor fur the surprise and coii-etp.ieiit temptation to profanity, which in a few years he may. experience v, hen he iiuds that the name of the Deity in his double-leaded editorial is spelled with a little "g," and the peroration of the. article is locked up between a death notice am! the advertisement of a pat ent moustache coaxer which is to fol low pure reading matter every day in the v.vek and occupy top of column on Sunday tf. The ensuing live year should be de voted io tiie peculiar orthography of t:e Kng'i.-h language. I lien put m three ears with the dumb-bells, r-and hags, siung-shols and tomahawk. In my own jiiuriuilisiie expeiienee I have found more cause for regret over mv ncgiect of this branch than anvihiiiir else. I usually l.eep mi my desk, dur ing a healed campaign, a large? paper weight weighing three or four pounds, ami in several instances I have found that I could feed that to a constant loader of my valuable paper instead of a retraction. Fewer people iick tiie editor, though, now than dio so in wars gone by. Many people in the las' two years have gone across the street to lick tin editor and never returned. After the primary course mapped out already, an intermediate course often vears should be sriven to learning the typographical art, so that when visitors come in and ask the edi tor all about the office he can tell them of the mysteries of making paper, and how delinquent subscribers have fre quently been killed by a well -directed blow with a printer s towel. I lve vears should be devoted to a study of the art of proof-reading. In that length of time tne young lournalist can peifeet himself to such a degree that it will take another five years for the printer to understand his corrections ami mar ginal notes. Fifteen years should then be devoteu to the study oi American polities. - The student should then take a medical and surgi cal course, so that he mav be able to attend to the contusion, fracture, etc., which may occur to himself or to the party who may come to his office for a retraction and by mistake get his spin al column double-leaded. Ten years should then be given to the study of law. No thorough metropolitan editor wants to enter upon the duties of his -profession without knowing the differ ence between a writ of mandamus and other styles of profanity. He should thoroughly understand the entire sys tem of American jurisprudence so that iu case a certiorari should break out in his neighborhood he would know just what to do for it. Ihe student will, by this time, begin to see what is required of him and en ter with great zeal upon the further studyr of hL- profession. He will now cuter upon a theological course of ten years and lit himself thoroughly to speak intelligently ot the various creeds and religions of the world. Ig norance on the part of an editor is al most a crime, and when he closes a powerful editorial with the familiar quotation, "It is the early bird that gets the worm," and attributes it to St. Paul instead of Deuteronomy, it makes me blush for the profession. The last ten years may be profitably devoted to the acquisition ot a practical knowl edge of cutting cord-wood, baking beans, making shirts, lecturing, turn ing double hand-spriugs, being shot out of a catapult at a circus, learning how to make a good adhesive paste that will not sour in hot weather, grinding scissors, punctuation, capital ization, condemnation, syntax, plain sewing, music, dancing, scalping, eti quette,prosody,the ten commandments, every man his own tooter on the flute, croquet, rules of the prize ring, rhet oric, parlor magic, calisthenics, pen manship, how to turn a jack from the bottom of the pack wnhout getting shot, civil engineering, decorative art, c.ilsominiiig, bicycling, base ball, hy draulics, botany, poker, international law, high low-jack, drawing and paint ing, faro, vocal music, driving break ing team, fifteen-ball pool, how to re move grease spots from last year's pan taloons, horsemanship, coupling freight cars, riding on a rail, riding on a pass, feeding ' threshing machines, teaching EEPEESENTATIYE YOUNG MEN, WHO ARK TO SHAPE NORTH CAHOLdXA HISTORY IN TIIK PRESENT OKXEUATIOV.

Consular .Tn!ge to Japan. Hon. Thomas II. Jernigan, whom I'resident Cleveland recently appoint ed as Consul to Montevideo and after wards nominated for the Consular Judgeship at Osaka, Japan, is a native of North Carolina, having been born in Hertford county, in this State, ia 1850. Mr. Jernigan, when only fifteen years of age, became a volunteer in the Confederate Cavalry, was captur ed in Eastern Carolina during the last year of the war and was exchang ed about one month before the surren der of Gen. Lea at Apponiatox. Soon after the close of the war he entered tlie University of Virginia, where he received his education and where he completed a course of study of law. Returning home when barely of age he was nominated bv the Dem- 1 ocrats to represent his county in the General Assembly of the State. The county was largely- Republican, but the popular majority against Mr. Jer nigan was only fifteen and through the failure of some of the Republican precincts to make returns according to law, the certificate of election was f HON. THOMAS school, waltzing, vaccination, autopsy, how to win the affections of your wife's mother, every man his own washer woman, or how to wash underclothing so that they will not shrink, etc. But time forbids anything like a thorough list of what a young man should study in order to fully under stand all that he may be called upon to express an opinion about in his ac tual experience as a journalist. There are a thousand little matters which every eoitor should know, such, for in stance as the construction of roller composition. Many newspaper men can write a good editorial on Asiatic cholera, but" their roller composition is not fit to eat. With the course of study that I have mapped out the young student would emerge from the college of journalism at the age of Do or yt, ready to take off his coat and write an urticle on almost any subject. ri'LTlZKBGIVKS A KIG TICK AT. From ihe Richmond IKxpaleh. Every one of the three hundred and fifty men employed on the World ate turkey Christmas at the expense of Congressman Joseph Pultizer, and must of them enjoyed a post-prandial cigar at the expense of Col. John A. Cockerill, managing editor of the World. The turkey was by no niean3 the limit of" Uncle Joe's" generosity, for to his chiefs of departments he made presents in money of from $250 down to $100, and to others two weeks' salary was given. This is an entirely new departure in New i ork journal ism, but is nothing novel for the Con gressman from the Ninth, who pursued the same course in St. Eouis when he personally conducted lhePost-Jipatch, an afternoon paper, which is as great a marvel ot success m the esL as the World is in the East. It is to Lhis ap preciation of other men's merits that he is to some exUsit indebted for his position to day. When he divided up the stock of the Pvit-)iputvh in right tidy sums among the men who made the paper he laid the foundation foi tin cxprit da corpx that was everlastingly evolving new ideas and never permit ting a halt. When the- master mind came east to a national field there was no relaxation of energy and vigilance; dividends were increased, and the men left in charge eat the turkey of reward and swell their bank accounts with Christmas remembrances. Nor have the poor in his district been neglected, but this branch the Congressman has been compelled to turn over to his wife, who, aided by a memberlof the ' World staff, thoroughly aeqrrainted with the field, has been for nearly two months searching out cases worthy of relief. This is a private charit', the details of which he does not allow to bccojne public-; but thousands of peo ple to-day have him to thank for warm clothing and good dinners. awarded him. Being a man of stern integrity and scorning to do anything of doubtful propriety, even though he might be benefitted, he declined t ac ct pt the certificate of election. As soon as he was old tnough he received the nomination to the State Senate from a district composed of seven counties, in which the Republicans were largely in the ascendency. Mr. Jernigan was elected by a handsome majority. In the Presidential contest of 1S-S0 he was a Hancock elector for the First Congressional District and succeeded in polling a larger vote than any District elector in the State. Shortly after Mr. Jernigan engaged in the cotton business in the city of Norfolk, Va., but retained his citizen ship in North Carolina and during the pact year he resumed the practice of law at his home at Harrellsville,Hert ford county. Mr. Jernigan, on his father's side, is a near relative to the late Spencer Jernigan, once U. 3. Sen ator from Tenn., and by his mother, a near kinsman to Chief Justice Smith, of North Carolina. R. JERNIGAN. YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT. From the Wilton Advance. The appointment of E. T. Boykin as Judge, iu the Sixth District, is an other evidence of the progress of North Carolina. The day has been in this State when wisdom and experience were supposed to belong to age only when young men were supposed in capable and unfit for public trust. That day has happily passed. Young men are in office Judges, Legislators, Congressmen and almost to a man, they make good officers. This L es pecially true of the Judges; where can lie found better Judges than MacRae, Clark, Shepherd and Connor have proven themselves to be? ami they are all young. Youth has not hindered these from rising, nor will it hinder any young man from attaining to his proper position. Ihe difficulty with many young men is tkat they depend upon their youth and not upon their industry. W hen they fail then they cry out mat a young man has no chance. We say to all such that the record is against them. loung men can succeed; but in order to do bo they must show themselves by patient hon est, hard work, worthy of success. Youth is not a passport to office and ought not to bt! it is no longer a dis qualification. 1 oung men are on the same footing with their elders. When they prove their worth they are recog nized and this is all they have any ru nt to (lemauu. A Dig At "Our JSrratlo Con tpinpoar J." From the Shelby Aurora. "We have read a three-columned article iu the Chroniele bv our friend Mr. Walter II. Page, and are glad to learn from it that hia address is No 448 Fifth street, Brooklyn, N. Y." This is the manner in which the Raleigh Xews and Observer replies to one of the ablest expositions of a great public questions published in a North Carolina paper in many a day. Mr. Page, like President Cleveland, is thoroughly orthodox in the doctrine oi civil-service reform and the well aimed arrows from his bow are too keenly pointed to be resisted. Besides Mr. Page is one of the most progres sive spirits that this State has produc ed and his ideas are too bold and too far advanced to be accepted by jour nals more or less fossilized and en crusted with ideas of a period gone by, North Carolina is not what it was ten years ago. New life has been inspirit ed within the old land: new blood rushes through the veins of her citi zens, and who will not say that the condition of things is better? The State is undergoing a revolution of so cial, intellectual and political ideas. and we are credulous enough to be lieve that the element which is thus bettering the condition of things and which bids fair to shape the future destiny of the State is in sympathy with the ad vanced ideas of a man like Mr. Page, who has convictions and the courage to express them. ?Sr HAWK KYKTKMS. A IJreezy Hatch of Oossip from Over iu Old Rockingham. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Rocyy Spring-, N. C, Dec. 28. Rocky Springs has the rocks but not the springs, and the oldest persons around here know nothing as to how it derived its name. This place is j situated about twenty miles from Winston, and the same distance from Greensboro and Reidsviile, but most of our trade goes to Winston, as it gives better prices generally for to bacco. Not far from here is the once fa mous section known as " Egypt, ly ing in the extn me southwest corner of Rockingham, and drained by the iielews on the iNile). Here was where a curious reptile-like creature. known as a still-worm, was so abun dant once that it destroyed nearly all the corn in that section. Its favorite drink was corn-meal tea, and its bite gave men a curious disease known as tangle-foot. They became so nume rous that " Uncle Sam " had to exter minate them. He sent down such men as Huskins, Charley Reynolds and others, who hunted them out, Irinking a great deal of the corn- meal tea and then taking an axe choppad off the poor worm's head, leaving not one to tell the tale. Although Rockingham claims this ction, yat she never bothers it onlv when she wants taxes, or some fellow who wants votes ; then she puts in three Democratic votes to one Radi cal vote, and to further show the sen timent of our people, only one Re publican paper comes to this office, and it is published bv a fellow named nnmed Goslin, who, it was said, went up "salt river" shortly after the last lection. Sheriff Galloway has made one round, ant" taxes are a little lower this year than last, despite the predic tion of the anti-stock-law men. Stock- law was put on this county by the- lat Legislature, and nothing has causod such a row in old Rockingham for years Some stock is running at large yet, and an effort will be made to re peal the law, which will bring it into polit cs next election. There will be candidates in favor of stock-law; can didates against, all Den'ocrats. And then thrre will be the Republicans. who can't climb the fence, wanting the negro and all the iiea-bitten white men's votes. Yes ; there is going to be a warm time in old Rockingham. It is reported that John R. Web ster, of the Dollar Wct'Idy, will cut a tigure as a candidate next timr. ell, he got beat once by an independent (but a good Democrat), and Webster has been wanting to do something for spite ever since, and as he has changed so many times, we don't believe either party wants John hung to their kite. Just recently we hear that the Wcrhhj had turned to a full-blooded Republi can pup, howling around after dun Reid and the good old party in gene ral. JJut doubtless Reid, the good old partv and the stock-law will all sur vive the Dollar WeeL hi. Railroad matters are much talked of among us now. The steam-horse is to snort along the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley road near us next sum mer, they say, ami then we will get our meat, salt, guano, Ac, close at band. A. depot is expected near Linville, and several building lots have been sold and one store-house built. We expect, in a lew years, to see a thriving town spring up, with a new court house and the seat of a new county situated there. Kernersville wanted to make a new county, but failed. This section will demand it as a necessity. Here we people in four counties. Guilford, For sythe, Stokes and Rockingham, are from twenty to thirty miles from their county seats. Here, in this part of this part of the four counties com bined, are lands, timber and water not surpassed by any part of the South, and with the railroad, we expect capitalists to find us and help us to build up. More anon. Hawl Eye. AN I NT IS IS I: ST I NG I'ACT. From the Hickory Press. B. F. Grady, Esq,, of Duplin coun ty, one of the most learned men in the State, writes to the ATcitw and 01m r ver, recalling tho historical fact that A ron Burr resigned the Vice-Presidency of New York in 1802 (or there abouts) and. became a candidate for Governor of the State of New York. Mr. Grady proceeds thus: "There upon, if I infer rightly, the Senate chose a North Carolinian to be its presiding ofliccr Jesse Franklin, of Surry, at the same time that Nath aniel Macon was Speaker of the House of Representatives. At any rate I find their names signed to an act of the Congress approved March 20, 1804. This was a distinction and the recalling of it was the main pur pose of thisanote which has no par allel iu the history of this Union." That North Carolina should, have furnished the presiding officers of both branches of Congress in 1802 was not only an interesting coinci dence, but a fact that shows that-our rural people were capable eighty years ago of furnishing men of the first mark to the councils of the Nation.

Now, sir, in what I may say about a railroad, self inter est may be involved, but if I tell the truth it is not because I would claim to be a Solomon. Tho signs of the times unmistakably point out the necessity of something being done to give Winston increased railroad facilities, which, if neglected, can never fully be overcome by action in the future. There are many people in Davie and Yadkin who are anxious for a railroad and they care not much from where it comes. The action lst week in Mocksville,as reported in the Davie Time, shows that they mean business, as Ixioks for subscriptions are to be opened. Any one can easily see how a railroad from Salisbury up the Yad kin Valley to Wilksboro or Mt. Airy would open up trade and travel which we would never see. ft ought to be remembered that Salisbury has several warehouses and is already making in roads on the Winston trade in tobacco. Greensboro has three warehouses and when the Yadkin Valley is completed, a yery large amount of the tobacco from the section of the country through which it passes will go to Greensboro or Mt. Airy. Winston's only hope, lbr holding her own is to take or adopt an active aggressive railroad policy. Some of the statements made by some of Winston's distinguished sons about railroads have gone out ; and it gotten to be pretty will settled on the public mind that Winston's policy in the past has been wholly eltish, as one of her prominent lawyers is re ported assaying they did not want any more railroads, Winston at that time being at tlr.- head of "Navigation." It is believed her policy cost her the loss of the Yadkin Valley. Now, will she sit still ( tinder the de- 1- .1 . lT 1T1 1 -., msioii mat sue is csuionsiicii witii her factories, warehouses, etc., that she has nothing to loos..;) and see herself " run around," " out Hanked " and left like a boat lifted by the waves and breakers on the shore to dry and de cay? It is the tobacco interest that makes Winston what it is and this lost she must necessarily loose in trade and prosperity. Would it not be wise to seek the concentration of all the rail roads she can, so as to make her mar kets the great center of till this Pied mont country? Would not the exten sion of a road west through Iicwisvillc, Yadkinville and back intoWilkes and Wautauga make these counties tribu tary permanently to Winston? Could not such a road be built by building a narrow gauge road and get these coun ties enlisted in the enterprise to the extent to grade the roads through them or even do more? Could not the Richmond it Danville road be brought into the enterprise, as it would be a feeder for them? 1 believe that Yad kin county at this time would go its full length in a road, and as Winston is the principal point from which she receives the greater part of her mer chandise and supplies, more could be done to get a road from Winston than any other point. " The philosophy of success in life is the seizure of opportunities," and it seems to one living out of Winston that something will have to be done and that quickly, or lose the aid we might now obtain. It these counties west become identified with some other interest we will loose their co-operation in building a road. I believe a liberal subscription could be raised on the Yadkin, and in the vicinity of Lewis rille if the road should run through it. Let the ball be put in motion and keep it rolling until our county shall be marked all over with railroads. We would be glad to give Winston " the right hand of fellowship " when she is ready to extend it. LlAVISVlLLK. Editor Sentinel. I have been looking for something from your pen on the subject of the Stokes County Coal Fields and the Winston and Lynchburg Railroad. What do you think of the report of Dr. Chance on the coal of Stokes county ? Have you at any time compared his report with those of others who have made reports on the same subject? Ami will the authorities throw aside those reports and take the report of Dr. Chance for granted? Have we a State Chemist who is so incompetent to perform his duties that the authorities should have to send to Philadelphia for a young man, possibly without practical exper ience in his profession ? Why did not our State authorities send out our own State Chemist, who has some interest in the State, in place of Dr. Chance? I am creditably informed that Dr. Chance dug for coal only on the lands of one man and that it was but a very small opening, and whilst thus engaged he introduced and advocated the doc trine of social equality, and the gen tleman at whose table he was sitting cussed him out and he left mad, hence his report. I, for one, prefer to take the say-so of Professors Emons, Phil lips, Keur and others. If the State hail wished an examination of the coal fields of Stok&i county, they ought to have sent a practical miner here with instructions to make an examination ot the beds by sinking such shafts as a good miner would have known how and where to sink, and not to go scratching about on the surface, as it were, like Dr. Chance did, which cf itself shows that he knew nothing about mining for coal or anything else. My opinion is, that the injustice has been done the people of Stokes not only by Dr. Chance, but by the State authori ties who employed him, and I think it is due from the State authorities to try to repair the damage she has dona her citizens in Stokes and other counties of the State by sending some competent man to Stokes county, who is known to be a practical miner, with instruc tions to make such an examination as will be satisfactory and give him the means to make such an examination with. The report ot Dr. Chance is calcu lated to retard or stop the railroad companies who are building through and to the coal fields of .Stokes, for that has been one of the incentives for building said roads, based, as they were, on the reports of our own State geologists ; ami, Mr. Editor, I take it that this report is one reason wdiy you have not kept up your editorials on the Winston and Lynchburg railroad project. Can't you help we people of Stokes from under the ban of Dr. Chance's report ? We would be thank ful for your help and also the help of your people of the Twin-City, for it is certainly to the interest of your town that coal should be found in Stokes in good quantities, and it is important that this should be done before you get the Midland road built to Walnut Cove. All we ask is that the State send a good man, a practical miner, with the means to make a thorough examina tion below the surface by sinking shafts in various places on Town Fork. XXX.

Tlu" great reason Fastern North Carolina towns keep poor anil do not iniprore as rapidly as tobacco towns is found in the fact that all the residents are dependent upon what is made in the place and comi ty. No money comes into the town from a distance. Everything lias to come out of the ground, and of cotit -e when there is no money com ing in from other places, there can be no real prosperity. Property may and does change hands, but, that doesn't hcli) t',e ph'ce. Tbsre is no increase of value im pat ted by the change. There will be no substantial prosperity in Eastern Carotina until manufactories arc started. There is no need of fifty or a hundred thou sand dollars to start enterprises ot this kind. The making of chairs, desks, clothes pins, rolling pins, wooden buckets, tinware of all kiiuU, willow ware and many other things that are in demand ev erywhere, could be made profitably in the State. Suppose three men in Gold-dioro were to invest $1,000 each and go into the manufacture of clothes pins, a very simple little article that is used the world over. Why couldn't they make it pay, handsomely ? If five men in Wilson would in vest if 1,000 each and set up a place to make nothing but rolling pms- did you you ever think that there is not a kitchen 111 North Carolimi that has not a roiling pin ? they would be surprised at their success In Raleigh, on little capital, com! panics might be formed to ma facturc the desks used in schoc which we now buy at the Noil foi making rules which every btj keeper must have, tor making vl low baskets, for making top! thousands arc sold every year in tl State.
