The
e general policy of the News asI
Obeeveb has been a iery amiable one!
i towards cifficers who, clothed witfi l
t power and charged with trusts, faith- j
i f alr seek to perform their duties. It 1
has seemed to us that a certaiii
amount of justice is due to men who,
called to the exercise of pubfic I unc
i tioas, endeavor to discbarge them
conscientiously and to the best of
the k; ability, and so we have sought
i to Be very fair towards such men. s
If? the press and the public should
pursue tne otner course ana give tree
rein t caustic . animadversion when
ever a public officer did not do exact
ly to suit them, public life would
cease to have attractions for good'
honest men who propose always to
follow the dictates of their own judg
ment nay, even conscience in mat
ters f public duty. ' '
Should such withdraw from public
life there would be only the pliant
tooH of pressing, designing men to
elect to olfice men who might do a
righl thing if properly approachod .
whd.might do a wrong thing if Suf
ficiently pressed. It is a very Vari
ableiBtanaaid of duty tofollow the
couUBel of others, for there are. always
conflicting- interests and divergent
ppinions, and counsel of any size and
dimpnsion and shade of coloring can
be lmd , The only course then for
pubc men to pursue is to hear with
patience and then to act under their
ownconviction of duty. When the
&TEwfc xst) OpsEiivta is satistied that
.they do this whether it agrees with
the;ri decision or not, it refrains from i
animVlversion. Sflch is the course '
which we think sound policy re- ;'
quires. 1 . j j.
And in particular is it the coun-e
we would gladly see followed in rc
gardto those of our democratic ofli- ,
cials jwho stand high in public et
teonii whose integrity, of character is
1 unimpeachable, vbose devotion to

Aid we feel quite sure that: the en

thai 20 cents. H
S we think the judgment; of tho
Governor is good in that matter.
As to placing a new mortgage for
$50,000 on a road which "has npt
Bhofm a capacity to provide far
its first mortgage of $300,000 and
make anything for its shareholders
why! that would be a very question -ble
business transaction. As a busi
ness; proposition men of good judg
ment .might hold that it amounted to
taking the initiatory steps to
placing the property in the hands of a
receiver. It would not commeud itself
to any one were it not for the use it
is pljopOsed to make of the proceeds.
' Bilt as interested as' the Governor
maylbe in attaining the object-sougbt
to bi promoted, his view of the propo
sitidh is such as to prevent hik agree
int So the mortgage. We wish that
tlie -circumstances were different
but is it not just to al stain from
caustic criticism when the Governor
is asked to exercise his iud'jm'eLt
abotft the matter and he does So hon
eslly; and conscientiously. Itisbould
alsolbo remembered that the Gor
erno has no nidre right to sell the
State's stock in the Atlantic k North
Carolina railroad than he has to -sell
the State House;, and, unless Xve err
his power to make the mortgage is no
greater than that of tne owner.of any
sintjle share of stock in tne company
To make a mortgage for the purpose
of extending the road east or -Golds-
boiQj would require tne unatimous
consent of - every share-holder; at
least any stockholder could enjoin
Buch a movement if so minded unless
there is some provision in the charter
authorizing it, which we ninny tninK
is the case. , H
L Befides, there ave some other legal
comnanations connected with the
State.s stock, which might lead to em
barrassing results if any such move
ment-was set on foot. Whether these
matters have been considered or not.
we d$ not know; but it ii fair'to sup

oblivfous of them. ;
WI1T WE ARK AMERICANS,
j How is it that we are Americans:
since 3t was Columbus who discov
ered tie new world and noc Americus
VespUcius ?
; Hosr -did it come about that' Ves
pucius' name S'as perpetuated and
not that ef the first man who crossed
the otfean T Who christened this new
continent and why was it baptized
as the child of another and not of the
original discoverer ?;'. . ?
In Ihe : November number 6f the
Atneican Magazini is an article that
throws light on the subject and we
avail ourselves of the materials there
collated to answer the question
When Columbus, returned from his
first voyage the fame of his achieve
ment rapidly spread throughout Eu
rope, bit as he and all others thought
that he had reached some outlying
islands or unknown parts of Asia, no
one bestowed his name on the new
found! land. Indeed, although Co
lumbus continued to make voyage
even Ud to his death, in' 1506. he was
ignorant that he had discovered
hew'continent. U
In 1497, Americus Vespucius
happened to sail to the West
Indies'; in a subordinate capa
city, and afterwards he made
two other voyages as a pilot, return
ing in; 1502. It was then that" he
Wrote a letter to one of the Meuicis
at Florence narrating what he had
seen abroad. A printed copy of this
letter fell into the hands of a young
Alsatian poet, Philesius, who hap
pened to be in Paris, and who carried
iv wiin mm to tne utue town o at.
Die in Lorraine, near his home, where
he was associated with a small coterie
of ambitious literary men presided
over by Duke Rene of Lorraine
They possessed a printing press, then
a rarity in Christendom, and apparent
ly were; eager; to make a noise itt ihe
world for themselves and to establish
the fame of the Duke as a patron of
science! and letters. Among them
Was Hylacomylus then engaged in
bringing out an edition of the Cos
mography of Ptolemy. f
.The .narrative of Americus was
doubtless of great fnterest to them,
and they: interest in the new world
was increased when shortly after
wards fhey obtained a copy of the
second narrative written bviimJ on
this retuin from his fourth and last
; voyage in which he gave a full accohnt
ot all :his discoveries to Jiis bid
; school fellow, Sederini, wW was
"then chief magistrate of F'orence.
At this time Hylacomylus was pre
sparing fr the press an introduction
to the f forthcoming Cosmography,
and it iseems the: opportunity for
practicing a p'ous fraud, to advance
Ihe fame' of their friend Duke Rene
I could not be resisted. Thev
took the letter to Soderini, trans
lated it,re-dressed it somewhat, 'ad
dressed o it Ileui as if Vespucius
recognized him as the great patron
of thoartl and sciences and discove
ries, and Ithen incorporated it in the
f Introduction to the CosniogF&phy"
which was at onco printed.
, Saekiu thus to magnify j Hone,
ihey naturally sought, to niagnify
Americus. ' And so Ihey accompanied
he lettel with a suggestion that "the
fourth part of the world having been
discovered by Americus may well be
failed Aujerica."
If Ant)ricus, who was then in
Spain, ovter heard of this, we suppose
he was content. He died soon af ter-wards-in
1512, probably-' ike Colutn
hus, in tie belief that the stranbe
Ijands be had visited were only ia
IjanHla of Asia. ;
J. Indeed it is said that as late as
1550.'eoraphers still marked On their
feavs "fhe Atlantic Islands, whifch

This is in; substance a resume, of
t' o leading facts contained in the

we, and- not the author, who ascribe
the leading motive in making the

that We are indebted for our being

CoLi Charles Marshall's oration at

liberty, as - .understood: and applied
by our : fathers in tbej constitution

comparatively to say of Lee, though
he prdperly eulogized the abilities,
and the character -of tho greatest sol
dier ia ! our history. He narrated
Some ihcide-nts illutraliag the noble
traits Of Gen. Lee. Of tke interview
jwith Grant at Appomattox he paid:
Let Lie say, a3 the only Confeder
ate witness of that scene, that had
Gjn. Grant and the Officers who at
teu led him, studied bfsforehand how
to conduct thcuiHelvcs, so a3 to spare
ias far aa possible the feelings of their
illustrious : enemy, and scow theiJRk
promo LiDiaent of his trial, they -could
not hav.e.ftcted their pacts better than
they did when they obeyed the
promptings of the poble' heart of
the truo American soldier. The scene
was ii? ho -.way theatrical, but
in its ! simplicity' it was dramatic
in the extreme. It can only be painted
by one who knows how to depict vic
tory without triumph. As Gen. Lee
stood confronting Gen. Grant, before
they began to speak of the business
they had iin hand, a number of Fed
eral officers were near Gen. Grant,
listening ;:to the conversation, and
some of j them taking part in it, and
had a stranger eutered the room,
ignorant" of what was taking place, it
would never - have occurred to him
that anything was going on, but a
pleasant 'conversation among friends.
Gen. Lee Was as calm and collected,
as dignified and gracious as I ever
saw him ;a the hour of victory.

Within about seven years Anniston
has developed her giant muscle and

wide, graded streets and rows of

with a tWf-mile diameter. Her iron
