The West object lesson available, and perhaps the best , in all the world, of the actual experiment in government by the negro race is the one to be. found in Haiti. The Messenger incidentally referred to it a few weeks ago. Some two or three years ago it considered conditions in Haiti as described by, whites in the Island, and published in the New York Herald. In that Island a prolonged experiment has been tried in efforts to uplift and to civilize the African to equip him and qualify him for the civic duties and responsibilities, to make him a good citizen, and ta de velop ,lnto self-government. The trial is a... very dead failure. The test" has broken down completely according to the testimony of northern people who are supposed to be the negro's partic ular friend and most gracious admirer. , It is well known that old Fred Dou glass, without one drop of negrt blood in his ,veins as he often boasted half white, half Indian had not much if any confidence in the future of Haiti and the experiment on trial there. He nfiiivni i ill liii Lcuiiir l iiti i c uuv practically settle whether the genuine African had in him the capacity of cit izenship and self-government. It is a lamentable, despicable failure, and awful in some of its aspects. Senator Money, in the senate, gave this-account of conditions, and they are in accord with other accounts by people who have visited Haiti and seen for them-, selves. The senator said: : -1 "I would not particularly recite the history of Haiti but that Mr. Douglass, the great orator of the colored race, declared that he looked with anxiety to the fate of Haiti, because that was to decide the negro's capacity for self government. What has been the his tory of Haiti, the most beautiful island in the world, with the most fertile soil, and delightful climate, and where grow the most precious woods? The French brought to them the blessings of the Christian religion, paved roman roads, docks, forts', country houses, mills; and in a spasm of - generosity the French, when 'EgaHte, fraternite, lib erte,' was the slogan, the intoxicating 'watchword of the French revolution, handed it all over to the negroes a free gift. 1 "What1 is their condition today? Those are the people we are to look 1 to as the example of the capacity of the . colored race for self-government. When their cities were burned, as they have been, in the numerous revolutions I believe there have been twelve con stitutions in the island in about forty years they were never rebuilt. When ever a road was worn out it was never repaired; whenever a mill or a planta tion went down t was never rehabili tated. When the rice fields were over grown with weeds, breeding pestilen tial fevers, they were never reclaimed. Tne conee plantations nave Deen neg lected, i -"Their trade has materially declined. Not only- that, but they have arrived at . that condition when the Christian religion has been in part rejected; .vney uttve reiuriieu io leiumsm aiiu voodooism, to a beHef in snake charm - ers, and to cannibalism in some places. These are unplasant facts, but they rare true and are taken from the rec ords of the courts of that island, from the reports of consuls and ministers; they are found in the secular and reli gious press ot that island; and today the man who is the hero of Haiti, the man- who has 'has day" on the 1st of January, as we have the borthday of George Washington on the 2 nd of Feb ruary, is Dessallnes. Dessalines was such a monster that his own people said, . 'He never spared a man in his anger nor a woman in his lust.' He was the man who ordered the massacre of the mulattoes in the island, who plundered the treasury, and murdered and robbed every one of his political opponents." , In parts of Louisiana where negroes are left to themselves, they have gone back to the savage rites of the natives in "Africa, to voodoOIsm, f etichism, cannibalism, and so on. Senator Money frrtt i1a ATirn faMo frrm T a moo Anthnnv Froude, .dead for some years, one of the greatest in style of historians. The senator says that he was in Haiti for sixteen years, was the friend of the negroes,, and yet "he said in the second edition of his work that the first was not written in ink, but in rose water. That writer, the great historian, es sayist, and philosopher, Mr. Froude, could not accept these conclusions at first. He could not believe such con ditions were possible. He attributed the failure of those people to the fact of their French civilization and Cath olic religion. He then went to the Eng lish West Indies; and-in that delight ful book; which we have all read, The English in the West Indies, he formu lates his conclusions as to the mental and moral incapacity- of the African race for any self-government." 4 The north has no true understanding of the negro character and capabilities. It takes a few .half-breeds, and now ture of blood, who has forged - to the front of their race, and then judges the millions by these examples. The north-, ens white man scholar, philosopher, -- politician, t or philanthropist, knows scarcely anything of the real negro character. They learn but little from travel, experience and reading. They are perfervld in their admiration and florid in their declamation over the ne gro and Bis capabilities. There are tens, of thousands of "white men in the north today who to carry out their radical, f ana tieal views- as to the capa bility of the - negro as a - voter. would be willing to turn the south into a Haiti to continue the experiment. Is not this true? Read their maga zines, and so-called religious weeklies, and big dailies-, and Speeches in the congress and out of congress, and get the answer. They are fanatical by de scent, by nature. Negroism ,is with this class a fetich. Their theory is that the' negro Is as good as the white-man not exactly in their particular baili wick, but in the south. He must con' tinue to vote to the crack of doom, al though he has shown himself but the subservient slave of white bosses, and utterly unworthy of the great privilege and power of the ballot. The south knows the negro,. for its knowledge is not theoretical, but practical, genuine, solid, based upon a long, sad experi ence and experiment. The north in its wild fanatical fever; forced the ballot . upon the negro and brought on most direful results. There is-a part of theJ north tftat Is anxious to continue the disastrous" experiment If It should pros- ,...., ,VCV(? states and oppress 23,000,- NEW ENGLAND LABOR AND SOUTHERN. MANTJTAC-TURING. We were interested in an article in the Chattanooga' Tradesman on the sources of labor in New England, and so far as manufacturing is concerned in the south also. There has been a considerable change in farming in New England. It has been often reported in the northern newspapers that parts . , . .. . . , , i ui incut seciiuu uui ltccii ciuaiiuuueu, that there was decay in villages and on farms. We have seen it mentioned often that you would see houses ten antless and fields abandoned. But there is a change for the better, it is report ed, even in that section. -Some of the abandoned farms are now successfully tilled. The Tradesman states that "twenty or thirty years ago a hill Jfarm in any New England state could not be given away, to any man who would try to live on it. Now, since science has taught people how they can put the bleak hills to profitable use, the abandoned New England , farms are being reoccupled, many of the new oc cupants are Canadians, with here and there a Swede, or Norwegian family. Numbers -of the old hill places have been purchased by rich city men. The new owners build summer houses on these farms, and shooting boxes, They are covered by second growth ; small timber, that makes fine cover for quail, grouse, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels, and other small game, providing excel lent shooting for the owrters." -The manufacturers to . a considerable -extent have worked Irishmen and Cana dians in the factories. It is stated that, comparatively there are very few men and women in the textile establish ments. "The mule and frame spinners, the weavers, the workers among the machinery as a whole, are Irish and Canadian French." That seems curi ous to us of the south for most, people think eastern mills arp worked entirely with home labor. The Tradesman says that long ago men and women worked in the mills who were of education and refinement. But that r is all gone now. Now 90 per cent are foreigners. The great war, and railroads and the vast opening west have changed conditions". In contrast the southern mills are nearly all worked by home Whites, men and women and children. The Trades man, notes that "so far the southern mills have not drawn many hands from the farms. Some of the tenant farm ers have gone to the mills, but gener ally speaking the mill help has come from the hill country. The largest, and the greater number of the mills -- v located along-the eastern foot of the Apalachian range." This does not hold good as to North Carolina or much of it. Whites near the mills are obtained and there is not much if any, difficulty in obtaining the needed labor. The Tradesman says that "the mills have been a prime source of a vast im-fc provement in the social and moral con dition of hundreds of poor rural fami lies. They, as cotton mill help, do not live in palaces and fare sumptuously; but they live in much better houses than they did on their alleged farms They fare better at table; and they dress better. At few or none of the mill towns are good schools wanting; Some of the mill companies maintain night schools for the operatives and their youngsters, one result being decided decrease of illiteracy among them, and another a higher plane of morality." We may suppose that as cotton man ufacturing enlarges the labor will in crease too and all will prosper togeth er. At present the prices of manufac tured goods are so good that large div idends, are made, and this offers the opportunity of good pay to operatives. : To Cur a Cold In One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The men and women in the south should keep well posted as to the great est of all modern wars. . The .difference between the northern and- southern armies was simply immense. The Mes senger has often given the approxi mate numbers more than 2700,000 of federals in the army to 600,000 confed erates. The federals had perhaps 150,000 in the navy and the south may have had 15,000. But we wish to refer to the armies as they opposed each other. General Jo. Johnston had 45,000 at Dalton, Ga. Sherman "had a great army opposing. Alexander Stephens in His "School .History" says: "With this, by his unsurpassed . master lyy skill and strategy, he succeeded in checking and thwarting Sherman's designs f r months, as Lee had baffled ' those of Grant." Sherman lost heavily and Johnston's loss was small, comparatively. Grant had probably 200,000 men at his call and 118,769 men and 274 field guns when he began his long tussle with General Lee. The latter had not in any battle probably more than 50,000.. He had. in all from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor hot to exceed 77,000. One esti mate puts his entire force at 100,000. So far as the "truth of history" con cerns North Carolina, we are afraid No-woman can be too careful of her condition during the period be fore her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endan gers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. rjJdJlTlHIIER'S is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside.

Glancing but for a few .mm- utes recently over a history of the United States published in the south and by a southern teacher we turned to the third .day at Gettysburg. It stated " that Pickett's Virginians and , Pettigrew's division were to make the ( charge. So far as you read i&nly Pick ett went in.
