THE DEFAMATION OF SCHLEY.
That it has been the covert in
tention of the navy department {
to cloud the name of Admiral
Schley and detract from his fame I
as the Hero of Santiago is very
apparent to those who have fol- j
lowed closely the investigation
which has been going on at
Washington for the past month.
But his place among the heroes
of the American nation is secure |
in spite of all the bigoted Samp-!
sons and the naval cliques and
the vituperative Maclays and
the villifying naval Captains'
and Commodores and strip-]
ling subordinates in the service. I
After a month's hearing of de
part witnesses, no two of whom
could see things alike, after vol
untas of evidence prompted by
envy, jealousy, prejudice and ha- ]
tred, have been given in, the naval
clique whosought to injure Admi
ral Schley, have rested their case
without a single substantiation of,
the noints at issue.
And now the clique that nought
to besmirch the name of Schley,
headed by that conceited ass,
Sampson, and surrounded by
patronizing subalterns, can tear
their hair, rend their garments
and repent in sackcloth and
ashes?for their failure.
For this blot on the glorious
record of the American navy in
the recent war with Spain some
body?the responsible persons?
ought to suffer. The motives
that prompted the defaming of
Admiral Schley are somewhat
akin to the motives that sent
Captain Dreyfus, of the French
army, to Devil's Island.
NEXT WEEK IN RALEIGH.
Next week will be a great one
in our Capital city. The week
will witness the meeting of the
Twentieth Century State Fair
which will be the greatest ever
held in the State. The President,
Gen. W. R. Cox, and the Secre
tary, Mr. Joseph E. Pogue, have
been untiring in their efforts to
make this Fair surpass all pre
vious ones and the present pros
pects point to a great success.
In addition to the Fair with its
numerous exhibits, fine races and
varied midway attractions, many
meetings of importance will be
held. Among them we mention
the following:
.Meeting of the directors of the
North Carolina Railroad, in the
Governor's office Tuesday.
Tuesday night in the Hall of
the House of Representatives a
meeting in the interest of the
education of woman, to be ad
dressed by I)r.Charles 1). Mclver,
President of the State Normal
School, and Dr. A. A. Marshall,
pastor of First Baptist church.

the House the annual meeting of
the State Association of Confed
erate Veterans.

chamber the annual meeting of
the State Agricultural Society,
which has held the Fair for forty
years.

Rancy Memorial Hall, the annual
meeting of the State Historical

time new officers will be elected,

plete their plans of organization
and to attend to other impor
tant matters. The farmers of
North Carolina now have an op
portunity to stand together and
hold up the,prices of .cotton seed
just as they had years ago of
standing together against the
Jute Bugging Trust. They won
then. They can win now. Let
all farmers who can attend be
present in Raleigh next Wedaes
day afternoon.
