Hamilton, of mithfield; gentlemen who can see no hope of reform in the par ty of Republicanism. The spirit of sectionalism is passing away. The death of Winnie Davis, "The Daughter ol The Confederacy," evoked ex pressions of grief and sympathy from all over the North. The G. A.

It is not our policy to draw the color line and to excite strife and dissension by too often cry- ag nigger," "nigjrer."

The speeches of Pou and Conner were very eff.ctive. B. F. Aycock did not arrive until late and the im pression had got out that he would not speak. We are sorry that such was the case, as he is very popular in that section, ar.d would have doae great good to the cause of Democracy.

We don't believe in the honesty ot any man woo savs ne is a Populist and then savs he is willing to vote for a goldbug. He may be honest, but we don't vant to be mixed up with any uch honesty. A man raiy be a very proper thing to damn his way. L aucasian. So then for all practical pur- poses and in all essentials, the co-operatton ot the Populists and Republicans in this State has been a dismal and disastrous failure. Only the contemptible pie hunters see any good-in it. Caucasian, February, 1897.

These points were repeated (and pessibly extended) in a literary address delivered at Wilson be fore the female college probably in 18S3: 1. The first English settlement made on the American continent I was on Roanoke I&laud on 4:h of July, 15Si. 2. The first white child born of Kncrlicfi narcnte u-ai Tii-oInia De who wes born on Raan oke Island on 18th of August, 15S4. 3. The first revolution in Amer ica by which tyrannical and un righteous Government was over thrown, was in Albemarle in 167G. 4- The first treatise or paper ever published in America, we "eueve. in resitatce to tyranny and ODDtesion emanated from ty of Granville, in 17G5. and was signed "Nutbush." 5. The first open blood shed on tee American continent in battle, in defense of liberty and in resistance to tyranny and wrong doing, was at Alamance on 16th May, 1771. 6. The first opposition by an at. . organized assembly to the tax on tea and the unjust rule of Great Britain, was made by the First Provincial Congress held at Newbern. on 2oth August. 1774- 7. The first treasonable and open defiance of the power and authority of Great Brinain, oc curred at Charlotte on 20th May. 1775, when a Declaration of Independence was made, and on 31st May, 1775. a series ot Resolutions were adopted by which a new Government was setup. 8. The first colony to instruct her delegates in general Cong ress to declare independence of the British crown, was North Caro Hna. This she did on the 12th of April. 1776, at Halifax, where the colonial Congress was inses a date we are not informed of it. 9. The first important victory gained oyer the British troops was at Moore's Creek Bridge, in Pender county, on 27th Fcbru- jary, 1776 Over four months before the national declaration of independence. 10. The first state in number of troops furnished in propor- between the South and North, was North Carolina. She sent into th2 war 126,000 or more, of effective troops. And yet her largest vote polled prior to the w.r was 112.500. She lost by battle and sickness 41,000 men In the first ten particulars we think North Carolina stands first among the sisterhood of states. We find the address at Oxford a claim that appears obscure, and, as we write, have not op portunity to examine it. It is that "the first open resistance to British authority occurred on the Cape Fear riyer in 1776, un der Colonels Waddell and Ashe." Stand by North Carolina.

In tne hotel corridor tne mterview- er was stating to me the con tents of an article in the Atlanta Constitution in regard to the de plorable political condition in North Carolina In preparing the interview after leaving me from which the above purports to be an extract together with other interviews for the Post, the reporter evidently fell into error of confounding what was p-'Ssiog in his mind with what was said by me. I was not fa miliar with the election law of the States referred to but did knojv the Constitution of North Carolina expressly forbids the Legislature from passing any laws disfranchising any individ ual or class of persons aud even should the legislature be dis posed to do so, it would be pre vented by our constitution. Wm R. Cox. Spanish Warfare at Manila. IIaritT Weekly. On August 2nd I spent the night in the trenches, and saw the peculiar method of warfare used by the Spaniaids. During the day no shooting had been done. Our pickets had been re lieved regularly without draw ing fire from the enemy, except for an occasional sharp shcoter, who got into the swampy places between our rifle-pits, and, up to bis waist in water, fired occas- sionally from the thickets. ' As night closed in absolute quiet reigned. About nine thirty sud denly a perfect shower of bullets came pelting down across our trenches. The whole Spanish line seemtd to flime up as if lightning were playing up and down their trenches. Their five and three inch guns pounded our earth works, and sent shrapnel bursting above our heads. Their firing was extremely accurate. for in the morning I discovered that the top of our earth-work was furrowed with their bullets. Indeed, it is a mistake to think that Spanish markmanship on lani is bad. Their shells struck with great accuracy, especially about our guns, and on the night of August 1st one of their shells exploded c n a gun of Bat tery B, and carried away the sights," without, however, doing othejr damage. After the first fusillade small groups of Spaniards left the pro tection of their earth works and came forward in skirmishing or der. On the right of our line the bamboo is so thick that only the fl ish of their rifl ;s told of their presence but near the shore, vhere the ground is more open, indistinct forms could be seen slipping forward, and stopping from time to time to shoot. Ap parently their object was to cut our line in two at its weakest point, flank us, and if possible, drive half our men into the sea, but they were driven off by a well directed and sustained fire from our men. After about an hour the Spaniards withdrew, and left as In peace for the night. European lenorance. It is upon the authority of . quaint old gentleman in Detroi that this arttcle is written.

On reaching New York they were so astounded that they be gan to suspect themselves and a lami'y conference was held be hind closed doors. After mature delibeiatiou it was decided to make at least a day's journey toward the interior before tak ing any radical action. Sumptu ous parlor cars, the best ol me?ils, the most efficient seryice and perfect provision against everything that detracts from the pleasure of travel led them to cross question each other in order to make sure that each in dividual member was not the victim ef some happy but dan gereus delusion. At Cleveland it wasconsidered safe to ship back a. car load of camp cqiipmtnts. Alter a charming trip from the Forest City to Detroit by boat, and a day's experience in our own de lightful city, the party uncondi tionally surrendered and, meta phorically, butted their heads against the wall for being a highly educated lot of ignora muses. They never turned back until they reached San Francitco and then returned by another route. When they reached home tbey had the courage to tell their friends all about it and give them many and much needed les sons about America.

All this might be excused on the gtounJ of his b ing vk-- tinrzd by the sharps who flv for high game, but it was al most impossible to conviuce him that we had no orders of cobili ty. When there was pointed out to him the son of Iturbide, the emperor of Mexico, who died so unfortunately, the young man who was so soon to become an emperor admitted that he never heard of liurbide and madesome casual inquiry regarding him. The relative of the great Corsi- can bad no idea ot the extent ot our territorial possessioas and wanted some of his newly-found friends to take a few days oti in order to kill tomc buffalo. An American citizen had the honor of an interview with the then king of Italy, and his majesty showed a commendable thirst for knowledge. Among other things he blandly inquired what proportion of the inhabi tants of New Yoik city were In dians.

In Berlin, when one pays his fare to the conductor of a street car, he receives a ticket, which is soon afterward collected by an inspector, who boards the car at a fixed point.
