WILSON, N.C., - - Oct. 15th, 1891.
HOW ABOUT IT?
The joint session of Justices and
County Commissioners in session
here in June decided to make no ap
propriation lor an exhibit ol Wilson
county at the Inter-State Exposition
which began at Raleigh two weeks
ago to-day. Instead they appointed
central committee consistme oi :
where he was in full view of the dele
gates on the main deck, led to a de
mand or some words Irom him,
which he could not resist He made
a brief but eloquent reference to the
steps about to be taken toward union
in the Britsh churches. He was fol
lowed by Rev. J. C. Price, of Salis
bury, N. C, a colored man, who
prophesied great advancement of the
cause of Christ as a result of the
Conference, and spoke so fraternally
to the visiting Englishmen that the
delegates sang "Blest be the tie that
Binds." From his position on the
ladder leading to the hurricane deck,
Rev. Dr. Donnelly, of Ireland, made
a most felicitious address. He

What has been done about it ?
The Exposition is now in progress
Wilson County is not represented.
We hear some talk of having an ex
hibit Mr. J. S. Woodard is in favor
of calling a mass meeting, gathering
an exhibit and employing a man to
take it to Raleigh. Mr. F. A. Wood
thinks this is the best thing under the
circumstances ; so why not do it ?
It is not too late.
Who will do something in regard
to the matter ?
Talk is all right; but something
must be done. '

. In this issue we publish a letter
lrom Maj. Finger, well worth reading.
Just at this time, when schools are
being started, teachers being chang
ed, we cannot be too careful about
our books. Anent the question the
Raleigh News and Observer says : "It
is on the right line. No school history
oftheUnited States, with the name of
Alexander H. Stephens omitted,
worthy to be introduced into
Southern school. Our children should
be taught to revere American states
men and heroes on both sides of the
late war, and they should understand
the true causes which brought ' about
that war, and Major Finger is right in
his instructions in regard to sectional
histories. Let the rising generation be
accurately and justly instructed in
their historical studies, and in this way
make loyal citizens of all."

welcome-which had been extended
ed to them, and especially .for the
pleasure of the trip to Mount Vernon.
He, too, referred to the aspirations
and the expectations connected with
the proposed union, and eloquendy
pictured the rainbow which he had
recently seen at ' Niagra spanning the
shore from country to country, as
typifying the union that would come
some day, not only to the church in
England but to the branches of church
in England and America.
Addresses in happy vein were also
made by Rev. L. J. Boppin, of Phila
delphia, and Rev. C. N. Grandison,
of Greensborough, N. C. Mr. E. O.
Excell, of Chicago, who is the pre
centor of the conference began a solo
but very wisely concluded that he
could not sing against a cutting east
wind. The delegates and their wives
having less need to be careful of their
voices sang hymns and familiar songs
until the boat reached the wharC
Congressmen-elect John Fellows of
New York is here. He predicts the
success of the Democratic party in
the Empire State this fall. He also
foretells victory for the National ticket
of that party next year. He refuses
to prophesy as regards the Speaker
ship, and does not know whether the
incoming delegation from that State
has mapped out a line of policy or
not. The probabilities are that they
have not done so:
The Richmond Times advocates
Nathaniel Macon as one of the North
Carolinians to be memoralized in
Statuary Hall. It says editorially :
"Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, a
J citizen ol great wealth and still greater
liberality, has announced his intention
of defraying out of his own means,
the cost of an effigy of some distin
guished North Carolinian of the past
to be erected in the Statuary Hall of
the House of Representatives in
Washington.
"This is a verynoble use of a large
fortune and should secure for Col.
Carr, who has performed many other
acts of princely generosity, the grate
lul appreciation of the people of his
State. -
"The Wilmington Messenger sug
gests George E. Badger as the most
appropriate subject for the proposed
statue, esteeming him to be the great
est man who has appeared in the his
tory of a State, which has been fertile
in many distinguished men, among
Andrew Jackson, Thomas H. Benton
and James K. Polk, who removed to
other commonwealths in early life,
hold a very conspicuous place.
"We shall venture to suggest in
stead the name of Nathaniel Macon,
whom John Randolph, a critical judge j
of men, pronounced to be the wisest
man he had ever known. That j
famous North Carolinian was one of I
the most unique of American states
men, being a man of Roman simplic
ity of character, pure, homely, sturdy,
vigorous, a man who commanded
universal veneration, and who reflec
ed honor not only upon his State and
his country, but also upon human
nature itself."
This is what has been urged in this
correspondence for several years, and
the first intimation of Mr. Carr's pur
pose was given in a private letter to
your correspondent.

What shall we do with the negro ?
Bill Arp, philosopher that he is, con
fesses that he doesn't know. And
nobody seems to know. The prob
lem is said to be working out itself
is solving itself. But it does not look
so to us. The situation is just as dark
as ever. Bill Arp make a terrible
showing for the negro he views
them from the standpoint of a pessi
mist and in the light , of it the
argument in favor of exporting them
grows stronger in " our mind. But
the bad ones are the ones to go,
Bishop Turner to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Washington, Oct., nth, 1891.
The Ecumenical Council in session
in this city is a great success. The
Methodists from all parts of the
world are represented here in force.
North Carolina's representatives in
the Council are, Rev. Drs. Reid and
Crawford, Ex-Governor Jarvis and
Ex-Congressman Vance. A number
of visitors from the State are also here
among whom are Rev. Solomon Pool
and Mrs. M. C. Daniels, of Wilson,
the mother of Josephus Daniels, Esq.,
the talented young editor of the Ral
eigh State Chronicle.
Col. Polk is here at the National.
He bitterly denies the charge of
cowardice at the battle of Winches
ter, but if General Gaston Lewis, who
was Col. of the regiment verifies the
story I don't think his denial will
amount to much in North Carolina.
He leaves to-night for California,
which State he regards as a promis
ing field for the P. P. U. S. A.
A large number of visitors were
received at the White House yester
day. Among these was a committee
of the Colored Republican League,
who called upon the President and
invited him to attend this fall the
Exposition at Raleigh, N. C. The
party was composed of J. W. Foe,
South Carolina, Chairman; S. E.
Jones, District of Columbia, secreta
ry ; Dr. S. A. Sumby, District of
Columbia; Wilson Cary, North Car
olina ; J. W. Coles, Virginia ; Till
man Dorsey and Reuben Johnson,
District of Columbia.
The colored delegates from North
Carolina are taking quite an import- j
ant part in the Ecumenical Confer-, i
ence. The Post says : "One of the
most yenearble-looking men in the ;
Doay is j. j. Moore, of Salisbury, N.
C, of the African Methodist Episco
pal Zion Church."
An excursion was made to the
tomb of Washington yesterday by a
large number of visiting Methodists.
The trip was enjoyed, as much by the
Englishmen asby the Americans.
There were over 700 in the party.
The old mansion was inspected and
more than an hour was spent in visi
ting the various points of interest
about the house and grounds. On
the return home 'there was some
pleasant speech making. The pres
ence of Rev. Hugh Price Hughes,
one of the most prominent members
of the Council, on the hurricane deck

Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 30, 1891.
Mr. C. F.WiLSO.Wilson, N. C:
Dear Sir: My attention has been
called to your issue of the 24th inst,
in which you state that I represent a
"book trust." Will you do me the
kindness to inform me who is your
authority for such an unkind reference
to the firm I represent. I have been
wi.h the U. P. Co. for nearly twenty
years and it is now the same as it was
in the beginning is not a TRUST.
Certainly, a firm which sells less than
10 per ce"nt. of the school books in
the United States cannot be called a
trust. The books we publish are
mainly of Southern authorship. Nine
ty per cent, of the ownership of the
company is in the South. The busi
ness manager is a Southern man. I
am a Southern man and was in the
Confederate Army four years. The
printing is done in New York because
it cannot be done South so as to com
pete in mechanical execution and
cheapness with other firms. This has
been tried. The books .themselves
are National in their make-up, and our
section is fairly and correcdy repre
sented in them. They were adopted
by your school board.
Very truly yours,
W. B. Kendrick,
Representing University Pub. Co.
