Every man has the right to his opin ton and the right to express his opinion, hut he .must take the consequences. Virginia" papers are just now scoring lien, ijongstreet lor certain strictures upon Gen. Lee which the old Confed erate soldier makes in his new book "From Manassas to Appomattox." What these criticisms are we do not know, not having seen them in print, but Gen. Longstreet is being condemn ed for daring to assail the beloved Lee, and is charged with being prompted by motives of spite, because Lee bad pointed out what he conceived to be JLongstreet's defects, although he never "stinted to render his under -chieftain honor when honor was due. Lee is. said . to have said shortly before his death to Governor Carroll, of Maryland, that Longstreet was a brilliant soldier when once engaged, though the hardest man to move in the army. Procrastina tion appears to have been Longstreet 's failing, a conspicuous instance of which is said tp have beeja his refusal to attack Meade at Gettysburg at daylight on the 2d of July. Longstreet, it is said, has never forgiven Lee, and hence could never accord the Confederate leader his dues as one of the world's greatest mil itary chieftains. But in strange contradistinction to the aged Southern soldier is the opinion of a distinguished Northern man, Theo dore Roosevelt, who has also been writ ing a book, "The Life of Benton." In it he pays the highest tribute to the Southern soldiers, maintaining that they were superior to the Northern soldiers, at least during the first years of the war, as the military spirit had been kept alive at the South, while at the North it had died out and a "timid bourgeoisie type" of men developel, "measuring everything by a mercantile standard " At the head of this splendid Southern soldiery, Roosevelt places Rob ret E. Lee as the peerless commander and says: "The world has never seen better sol diers than those who followed Lee; and their leader will, undoubtedly, rank as, without any exception, the very great est of all great captains that the English-speaking people have brought forth; and this, although the last and chief of his antagonists, may himself claim to stand as the full equal of Marl borough and Wellington." This is indeed high praise coming from such a scholar and thinker. However much he may be disliked and anrl rritifivoil hi Vio rrliti.1 s-vws- nents, Mr. Roosevelt will be generally admitted to be a sternly conscientious man. Therefore his opinion is the more valuable. These opinions of Longstreet and Roosevelt regarding Lee, appearing by a coincidence at the same time, offer food for reflection. They will both, doubtless, play their part in going to make up the verdict by which Robert E. Lee shall be finally and impartially Judged and accorded his proper place in history. PRINTING THE PICTURE OF AM EMPTY DRESS. The New York Herald seems to stand in with the Yanderbilts and is getting ahead of the other papers in printing pictures of Miss Consuelo and things Miss Consuelo is going to wear when she weds the Duke of Marlborough. The Herald claims to have printed some weeks ago the only- original picture of Miss Vanderbilt, by consent of -the fami ly, all others being spurious. The last issue of the Sunday Herald has nearly a half-page picture of an object that at first glance appears to be a ghost of Mary Queen of Scots, for it is striding about in a headless condition. It is, however, as identified by the Herald, "the weddfngdress of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. By permission; copyright, 1895, by James Gordon Bennett; all rights reserved." The column and a half of "stuff" describing the rig is in troduced by flaming, large-type lines of a "scare-head," thus: "Wedded In A Gown Of Cream: Miss Consuelo Van derbilt 's Satin Bridal Costume Will Be That in Which She Will Be Presented to Queen Victoria: Rare Point Lace Flouncing: Arranged in Four Rows of Horizontal Trimming, Crossed by a Spray of Orange Blossoms: Train in Double Box Pleats." The dress does not appear to be strangely different from the bridal cos tames that ordinary, obscure brides are wedded in every day it has balloon sleeves and a dust-scraping train, etc. Whyshould it be printed, taking up a whole half page 'of one of the leading newspapers of the world? It does seem from this point of view to be a sad commentary on the good taste of one of the rioh and aristoc ratio families of the county to give "permission" for Buch minor details of a family affair to be flashed before the 'world with so much display; a sad commentary on the judgment of a peerless newspaper that it can waste so great an amount of space over an event of this nature; but the saddest commentary of all that the taste of the public is to perverted that it devours with avidity column after column of such trivialities. Why should Americans rave over a petted and pampered and half-spoiled son of a dead duke and a girl who inherited the chink that her grandfather hustled for? "We do not mean to make any mean or hateful comparisons, but tons the ro mantic love affair and the approaching wedding of the beautif ul and sprightly Virginia girt. Miss Irene Langhorne, to the young New York artlit, Charlei Dans Gibson, who is carving out fame and fortune for himself with his pencil, is infinitely more, interesting than the mercenary linking of a title and a for tune, the prosaic mating of an earl and an heiress. -v ' 1 " " .' - - - BAZSTXa AMD OTSVTStQ COTTON.

Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C next entertained the - association with a bright, offhand description of the cotton industry In the Sonth. In spite of foreign competition the Sonth had a clear monopoly or tbe world. Tne spin nlng and weaving Industry of the South was restricted to the country between the mountains and the gulf stream. Mr. Tompkins described the various scenes on the plantation, incident to the culti vation 01 cotton, tie gave a descrip tion of the ante-bellum plantation and the method of baling cotton. The staple was much better before the war on account of tbe number of laborers in the field. Now tbe farmers of tbe country as a rule were in straitened circum stances, and this explains its inferiority. He described the process of ginning cotton at the present day as contrasted with that in operation before the war. He was not able to say whether or not colored labor could be successfully used in a cotton factory. In a cotton seed oil mill, however, they could be worked to very great advantage. He would like to see the experiment tried. In speaking of Southern cotton mills he thought the South could fairly compete with tbe North in the manufacture of cotton yarns and believed tbe South could manufacture articles just as good and lust as cheap. The South was making rapid progress and would soon eclipse the record of New England. In reply to a question, Mr. Tompkins gave it as his opinion that the negro bad not been a success as an independ ent farmer. They were good as black smiths and to work in oil mills, but not as independent operators. No colored man in the 8outh was ever thrown outj of business on account of race preju duce. Mr. Tompkins said that cotton seed oil was sent to Italy to make olive oil; to Maine to make sardines and to the West to be used in the manufacture of lard After the list of papers was exhausted a number of topical questions were dis cussed by the members of tbe associa tion. In behalf of Charlotte, N. C, a cor dial invitation was extended to the as sociation by Mr. H. S. Chadwick, presi dent of the Manufacturers' Club, to hold their next regular session in Char lotte, N. C. The invitation was warmly seconded by Mr. D. A. Thompkins. A resolution was adopted by the as sociation thanking the people of the South for the many courtesies enjoyed by the association during their South ern trip. The president then declared the meeting adjourned sine die. FRESH ARMENIAN OUTRAGES. A Maul em an Hob, Armed With Rifles, Pillage and Barn a Village and Commit Horrible Atrocities. Constantinople, Oct. 28. Private ad vices from an Armenian source report the occurrence of a terrible massacre near Baiburt, on the road between Er zeroum and Trebizonde. These reports allege that 500 Mussleman laizes, armed with Henry-Martini rifles and support ed by the Turkish inhabitants, made an unprovoked attaok upon the Arme nian inhabitants of several villages, and it is further alleged that a number of 1 young men and women were burned alive at the stake and that many wo men were outraged and horribly muti lated. After the churches had been desecrated the Mussleman mob pillaged villages and' stole all tbe cattle and other property of value they could carry off. It is stated upon the same author ity that over 150 Armenians were killed The inhabitantt of these village's had made application beforehand to the Governor of Baiburt for protection against the raids of the Musslemans, but the Governor sent only three gen- darmse, who did not arrive until the murder and pillage were over. It is said that the names of the ring-leaders in this outrage are known to the au thorities. Later Armenian advices from Erz ingjan estimate that several hundred Armenians were killed in the recent disturbances there. The Turkish ver sion speaks of fifty having been killed A dispatch from Trebizonde says it is reported that Turks have attacked the Armenians in the mountains of Gu mush Dagh, near that city. PI. AST'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Three Tralnloads of Employes Present l He Eitent or tbe Aged Magnate's Trans portation juines. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28. Three train loads of employes of the Plant Railroad and Steamship system and of the South ern Express Company, came here to day to celebrate the seventy-sixth birth day of President H. B. Plant.

Many of the general officers of the Plant properties cme and every department was represented down to the track hands. Vice President Hemphill, of the ex position, made the welcoming address and he was followed by Mayor Porter Kin?. Uorton F. Plant responded for his father.

A letter re ceived here to-day from Mr. Robert Ransom states that the minister bad been indisposed from a cold for several days, but would be well in a few days. There was no news of importance other wise. A young negro named John Adams, or Joy ler, who says he is from North Carolina, was before the Criminal Court here to-day on a charge of burglary. He was found Saturday night at a pri vate residence waiting under a bed to perpetrate a robbery and was arrested. It is said he is a hot sneak thief who has robbed several persons here, and that he is wanted for larceny at Greens boro. In default of 6.000 ball, he was sent to lalL. Mr. M. 8.

Taapkln Diseases the Qom . ttoa Before tUm Hew KaKlaadars An Kx perimeBt of Great Interest at Amaistoa. Editorial In Atlanta Constitution 57th. In his speech the other, day before the cotton manufacturers at tbe exposi tion Colonel D. A. Tompkins, : of Char lotte, N. C, incidentally discussed the proposed : employment of colored labor in the mills. Colonel Tompkins expresses no opin ion on the subject, but in reply to the talk of the Northern manufacturers In regard to colored labor he says: "It is impossible for me to eome to a conclusion as to whether tbe colored people would make - successful mill hands or not. Nobody, not even those who know abd love the colored people best, has ever had the courage to try the experiment." I believe I have about as many friends among colored people as any other average man, and yet t would not dare to try the experiment of a cotton mill with colored operatives without the full Consent of all my as sociates or stockholders to lose money in tho experiment, if it should turn out that way. Nothing but experiment can, in my judgment, ever determine the question. In order to determine it I would be willing to be one of 100 per sons to subscribe $1,500 each for a mill to be operated by colored people until by losses it should be determined that the experiment was a failure, or by suc cess it should be demonstrated to be practicable." This is a fair proposition and it rep resents the sentiment of the Southern mi'l men. They are perfectly willing to employ both races, but they are wait ing for a favorable opportunity to make the experiment without running too great a risk. Colonel Tompkins is one of tbe most progressive and enterprising manufact urers in the South, and his views are those of a conservative business man who has no prejudice to hamper bim when be is dealing with the question of labor. The color of his operatives is not an important matter with him. The point is to get reliable and competent service at reasonable rate. Colored labor will be in demand in the cotton mills just as soon as tbe mill owners become satisfied that it will be profits ble. In the South there is no color line in business or labor. In this connection the result of the Anniston experiment, notice of which is made elsewhere in to-day s Constitu tion, will be watched with considera ble interest. It is proposed to organize and operate a cotton factory at that place exclusively by negro effort. A company has been chartered by the Legislature and an enterprising and public-spirited negro is in charge of the undertaki g. The plan is certainly a feasible one and we see no reason why it should not be a complete success. At any rate the effort will be watched with interest and all will unite in wish ing its promoters the success their en ergy permit. MARTIN IN DANGER OF LYNCHING. The Murderer of Marshal 8hnltz Threat ened By a Mob-Tie Militia Called Oat. Sandusky, O., Oct. 28 Lee Martin. the murderer of Marshal 8hultz. of Tiffin, is safe in the county jail here. He arrived last night in company of Sheriff Shlessman. of 8andusky county, and a deputy from Seneca county. After the exciting and traeic events of Satur day night at Tiffin, it was decided to be unsafe to allow the prisoner to remain in the jail thjere, and he was taken to 1 , ' - fAm... I 1 1 1 a. . . . jailed there a mob of 500 persons as sembled and threatened to storm the .Tail. After consulting Judge Greene.of Fremont, Sheriff Shlessman was direct ed to bring the prisoner to Sandusky. A number of persons had driven over to Fremont from Tiffin, and there was a mob on the platform at the depot when Martin was placed aboard an east-bound train. The mob was angry and threat ening but made no attempt to get the prisoner. Martin was taken safely to NorwaHr and thence to the jail here. Later in the evening about 100 mili tiamen arrived in box cars attached to a freight train on tbe Big 4 road, but upon learning that there was no disturb ance here, they returned to Tiffin. The Trouble Subsided at "andnsky. Columbus O , Oct. 28 Governor Mc Kinley received the following message from Adjutant General Howe this morn ing: The night passed without any de monstration. The guard has been withdrawn from around the court house and placed about the jail only. Court convened this morning and brought many people to the county seat. The sheriff thinks that if Monday night passes without an outbreak the trouble will be over. I will keep you advised. Jas. C. Howe, Adjutant Gen'l. The particulars of the above men tioned crime are given in a dispatch sent to the Monday morning papers. Martin, last Wednesdav evening, shot down in cold blood Marshal August Schultz, at Tiffin, O. In an attempt Sunday morning to avenge the crime, two men came to their deaths. At daylight 150 infuriated men had gath ered at the jail and demanded the pris oner. A vollev from half a dozen Win chesters met thpm, and two of the mob were killed. They were Henrv Mutch ler. Jr., and Christian Matz. It is not believed that there will .be anv further trouble, though the friends of the dead men threaten vengeance to the guards who flred upon the mob. and the dead marshal's friends sav they will lynch Martin if they can get him.

The bnsv season will soon be on. and new life will rise within the town.; Mor gab ton Is noted for. Its beautiful scenery in tbe serine and summer seasons; ana also ai the home of the State Hospital and the school for the deaf and dumb. Many people throughout the State know of tbe big tanning business that is done in Morganton by the Burke Tanning Company, but very few have the least idea of Its greatness. To this seetionof the State it means meat and bread to manv. The wagons loaded with bark at certain seasons of jthe year, stand in a row for over a mile, each taking its turn to onload. This bark, white oak and chestnut, is brought in from the surrounding coun try, mainly from the mountains, and read v cash is paid for it. It is said that in one day the company often pays ont S1.500 for bark. This means much to the haulers of this bark: it means bread and meat in plenty and a surplus of money. It is interesting to go through the tannery and see it in all its phases you see the hide go in just taken from tbe cow and taken out at the last stage, cleaned and ready for making shoes, harness, etc The roller mill at Morganton do con siderable business during a year and now they are in their busy season. They are turning out a good quality of flour and are getting through with much work. One can stand in tbe mill door and count several wagons at any time every day coming and going from the mill. It is run by Mr. W. T. Hogan. He says that much of his wheat oomes from Mitchell and other near by coun ties. His flour is almost all on trade wheat. The sash and blind factory is doing more work now than in years past. More orders and larger ones are coming in. In fact all the shops of this kind are looking up. To see what is going on in the town of Morganton and fail to see what is just out of the town's limits in the country, is a bad mistake, for the wealth of fine corn and fruit that is to be found there is enormous. The frost was a little early on the corn, but re gardless of that a good harvest of It is being made. The farmers seem to be in a good, substantial condition. All that Morganton now needs to make a happy and prosperous people on a whole is good graded or public schools that will last for 9 or 10 months ' each year one for the whites and one for the blacks and a large hotel build ing in the centre of the town. These two things she is in bad need of, but many of the citizens hope soon to see both. The two State institutions at Mor ganton are doing noble work they will be treated more fully later and any one passing by way of Morganton could with pleasure and profit spend a day at them. MR. T.
