Editor Journal: On the eve of a municipal election it would seem to be a fit time to call attention to an error that has crept into the publio mind as to the formation of the Board of Councilmec.

We hear continually the term Associates applied to three members of that body, which is a misnomer that leads to a gravo error as to the position of these members. We hear of tho Associates of the Councilmen of the first ward, second ward, when in factnosuch thing as an Associate is granted any member by the charter. The word Associate does not appear in that instrument. The second section of tbe charter says: That one Councilman shall be elected for each of the five wards of the city by the qualified voters of such wards respectively, and within five da) after their election, they shall convene and qualify before the former Mayor or a Justice of the Peace. Immediately after qualifying they shall prooeed to elect as follows: Three Councilmen from the people at large.

The Councilmen of the second and third wards shall elect one, theCoun-men of the first and fifth shall elect one and the Councilmen of the second and fourth shall elect one. In this election it is provided that in oase of a tie in the vote of the Council-men of the wards tha Councilmen of the first waid hall give the casting vote. These three members are by no means anybody's Associate and occupy tje most responsible position of any of the Board by reason of their being the representatives of the people at large, and in that position are to keep a vigilant eye to the interest of the people at large. It is fair to suppose all the members do that, but it is but reasonalle to suppose that each member feels his allegunoe to tbe interest of hi) im mediate constituents first and to tbe people at large next, while the mem bers from the people at large owe their allegiance to the citizens of the city ithout ward restriction or local inter, st. From the habit of calling these mem bers Associates has grown an evil that may increase as time moves on if not corrected.

That is that the Associate owes allegiance to his principal, or more plainly to the member who chose him for an Associate, and must in general terms act and vote with him The charter contemplated no such con ditions, and it is a great mistake to thus regard it. These three members are members from the people at lakqk and so let them be called, and a more correot idea of their position in the Board will be fastened upon the public mind. C. UNIVERSITY NOTES. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, April 19, 1890.

The Pbi. Society has ceded to the Alumni Association its right to elect the Annual Commencement orator this year. Tbe association, through its com mittee, has elected Cof. W. H.

S. Bur gwyn, of Henderson. Col. Burgwyn has accepted, and a rare treat is in store for those who hear him. We are gratified to report to tbe people of North Carolina that their University has adopted a new policy in regard to bestowing its honors on Commence ment orators the recognition of home talent.

It has formerly been the cus torn to go beyond tbe borders of our own State in search for eloquent speak ers. Tbisis a mistake. We have men numbers of men right here in our midst who can speak as eloquently as the eons of other States, and who feel a deep interest in the State and all that pertains to its welfare and glory. Last Tuesday was celebrated as Class Day. The exercises were held in Memo rial Hall and were exceedingly inter esting.

Here the descrip tion of the Yellow Stone became so grand, so thrilling and so losniring that you felt as though you Were in reality gazing upon the most wonderful of wonder-lands.

"The Louisiana Lottery (Join-piny find it so profitable to run their one-sided machine that they actually offer to pay the State of Louisiana 912,500,000 for the privi lege of carrying on its business for a period ol twenty-five years. If it is submitted to the people it will be carried." Two hundred million dollars is the modest sum that would be re quired to carry out the Republican plan for a Governmuntpostal build ing in every place where the post office receipts exceed $3,000 a year. This is one of the Administration party's ways of preventing the pos Bible recurrence of the evil ot a Treasury surplus. The Pan-American Congress, or Conference of American govern ments, closed its sessions in Wash ington yesterday, and Secretary Blaine made the delegates a very happy speech of farewell. That the Conference has been of benefit to the people of all the countries concerned, is a compliment that tbe work Of the delegates has justly earned.

Charlotte Chronicle. The total number of souls who have professed conversion at the Salvation Army penitent forms for the five months ending with April 1st is 90,000.

It is said that this prostitution of a most respectable institution can not be averted, because the con trolling oabalin Tammany has of late so packed tho Society with official and personal dependents that protest wodtcl.be practically unavailing.

Jaly asked her the object of the question, whereupon she related that lastSundsy tall man was seen a short distance back from her house on the outskirts of a thickly wooded piece of ground. She could not tell whether he was white or black and for some time he seemed to be playing in the sand, throwing up his hands and kicking high into the air. She asked a colored man to go and see who he was, but just before his approach, the mysterious object wheeled towards the woods and vanished with lightning rapidity. "Today ho was seen again," she said.

My daughter had gone to the spring for water near the place where be was'seen Sunday, and suddenly tbere appeared the same place a strange looking man going through peculiar motions, swinging his arms and tnrowing nis feet up. When he saw her he held up omethiog, that glittered and dazzled a the sun light like a mirror. She ran hack homo and gave the alarm. A colored man immediately went to the scene enly to see the Sunday episode repeated. The lank figure made a few wild gestures and was hidden in bis wooded retreat in the twinkling of an eyo.

It looks as though an endeavor is be- iDg made to get up a genuine sensation. The University of NorthCarolina. John S. Long, who has just re turned from his pleasant visit to Chapel Hill, speaks in encouraging terms of tho University. He says that the best sit of boys can bo found at that old seat of learning ho had ever known there.

There are more noble and accomplished women among the families of professors and in the village than oontrol any community in the South of equal size, and these all exert a strong influence on the young men. He is especially pleased with our Eastern boys, and the dele gation from New Berne, though small. is a good one when honors are to be won. There are 109 students in the University. These are usually divided between the two Literary Societies in about equal measure.

At the present lime the Dialectio outnumbers the Philanthropic. It is no disoredit to our Eastern boys to say that in the debating contest a few weeks ago, between the societies, Shepard Bryan, a New Berne boy, shared with Batchelor, a Raleigh boy, the honors of that triumph, and that in the last conteBt within the societies John Thomas, of New Berne, carried off tbe declaimer's medal in the Phi. from twelve contestants, and Henry Johnson, of Tarboro, the debater's medal. Thij will do right well for our small patch of ground east of the Wil miDgton and Weldon Railroad. Important ti Truck Farmers.

The Hon. Robert P. Porter, Superin tendentof the Eleventh Census of the United States, having ordered special investigations of the truck farming interests in this country, Mr. Q. Hale is making up as rapidly as possible a directory of names and P.

O. ad dresses of truck farmers. He already has a largo number of names, yet wants more before he will be ready to send special schedules of inquiry. It is de sired that those who are interested in this matter send him the name and address of any and all persons they may know of who are largely in thebusi nesa of truck farming, remembering that Superintendent Porter has ordered these investigations wholly in their interests, and when the work is com pleted hopes to be able to furnish muoh valuable information relating to the culture and marketing of such products ai asparagus, rhubarb, melons, celery, cabbage, as are cultivated on an extensive scale. Mr.

Hale's address is South Glastoobury. We would urge upon the truck farmers of this region, and the Board of Trade, the importance of at onoe forwarding a full list of names from this great truck farming section of oountry. Shipping News. The steamer Annie of the E. O.
