The .New York Herald has been
interviewing various parties at the i
capitals of the different Southern
States, relative to the course Gen.
Harrison should pursue towards the
South. In Raleigh the correspon
dent got hold of several, but only a
few whose opinions were really
worth having. Such gentleman as
Gfov. Fowle, Col. Saunders, Lt. Gov.
Holt, the Speaker of the House and
the Supreme Court Justices, all of
whom are in Raleigh now, do not
appear to have been interviewed at
all. Here is what Mr. Spier Whit-
aker and Mr. J. C. L. Harris had to
say:
In order to ascertain what promi
nent men here think President-elect
Harrison should do for the South, I
interviewed this afternoon Mr. Spier
Whitaker, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, who said:
"The President should treat the
South as part and parcel of the
Union and make no mention of the
South as such in his inaugural.
There is no more reason why special
mention should be made of or atten
tion paid to the South than to the
East, West or North. Southern
people are as thoroughly Union
men and as loyal to the old flag as
are the people of any section of
the United States. All that they ask
is to be allowed that privilege which
is given the East, West and North
to manage their own local affairs
and to be treated in every respect as
part of this Union. To be singled
out and commented upon by the
President of the United States in his
inaugural as something different
from other sections of the country
is to be treated as Ireland is by the
Queen in her speeches to Parlia
inent."
Mr. J. C. L. Harriss, seoretary of
the Republican State Committee
said: "I endorse all that Whitaker
says, I think the President should
work to secure the passage of a tar
iff bill to reduce the revenue, and
we should be given the Blair bill.
A national election law is needed
which will separate State from na
tional elections, so us to have them
on different davs."
"1 was most ready flb return a blow
and would not brook at all this sort
of thing," for I knew i could cure
all damages with Salvation Oil.

Fire L.aBt Night.
The alarm of fire last night at 10
o'clock, turned in from box 25, was
caused by the burning of a one-story
frame building, owned and occupied
by A. J. Walker, colored. The build
ing and furniture were insured for
$700, in the Virginia Fire and Ma
rine Insurance Co., represented here
by Messrs. Smith & Boatwright.
Sudden leath.
Mrs. Lucy Robinson, of Bladen
county, died suddenly yesterday af"
ternoon of heart disease, at the resi
dence of her son-in-law, Mr. E.
Moore, on Third and Castle streets.
Mrs. Robinson was about 65 years of
age, and a most estimable lady. She
was the widow of Mr. Tom Robin
son, a prominent citizen of Bladen
who died several years ago, and a
sister of the late George S. Gilles"
pie of this city. Her remains will be
taken to her home, near Prospect
Hall, for interment.
Set Out Trees There.
If the new encampment ground is
to be in the open field back of the
high bluff at Summer Rest we would
suggest that the first thing to be
done there is to set out trees. This
is just the season to do it in. Half-
sized trees can be taken up and setf
out there and with proper care they
will live and give a good shade nex
Summer. This is a very important
matter and it will not tcost much to
do it. But it should be done now; a
month hence will be too late.
Pocket Book Found.
As Mr. T. L. Rackley was driving
a herd of beef cattle into the city
pound, yesterday morning, he found
a pocket book containing a $5 gold
piece, several pieces of jewelry and
a certificate of deposit on one of the
banks in the city for $100. The
name of the depositor, Mrs. A. V.
Williams, was on the certificate and
that led to the finding of the owner,
who is stopping with Capt. Jno P.
Pi vine's family. The purse was taken
from Capt. Divine's residence last
Tuesday night by the thief who
burglarized the house. When stolen
it contained, besides the artfcles
mentioned, $38 in bills.
Hied of Heart Disease.
Coroner Jacobs was notified yes
terday that a colored m$n by the
name of Alexander Green, living on
the corner of Third and Hanover
streets, had died very suddenly, and
that a colored woman, tamed Mary
McKoy, had caused his death by
striking him with an iron bar. The
coroner notified Dr. Pottey' 0H

Five of a Keather.
It was developed last night, for
the first time, that the safe at Mr.
J. W. Taylor's livery stable, corner
Front and Mulberry streets, was
robbed last Sunday, the amount
taken being $118. Suspicion fell on
some colored boys employed about
the stable and the case was placed
in the hands of officers Turlington,
Brink ley and Howell and last nigh
these officers arrested Sam Fuller.
Leon Davis, Arthur Davis. Wm. Lar
kins and John Larkins. They con
fessed the robbery without hesita
tation, and $45.59 of the stolen mon
ey was found in their possession.
Fuller had $42.00 in "his pocketsi
Gause $2.50. Leon Davis $1.00, Nath
an Davis nine cents, and John Lar
kins nothing. The boys had been
investing their ill-gotten "wealth'
in chances at the "ring throwing'"
game recently opened by some
strangers on South Front street, and
it was their heavy expenditures
there that led to their arrest. The
boys say that John Larkins broke
open the inner door of the safe with
a hatchet, and that the money was
divided between them. The outer
door of the safe was found unlock
ed, it is said.
One of the thieves said that some
of the stolen money was buried un
der a house in Brooklyn and volun
tarily piloted the police officers to
the place; but no money was found,
although there were indications that
something had been buried there
and subsequently removed.
The Yellow Fever In 1862.
We have heard speculations as
o the number of victims of the
dreadful yellow fever epidemic in
this city in 1862, but no one seems to
know just how many, victims there
were. The estimates vary as to
the number of deaths, ranging all of
the way from 506 to 1,000. We think
that the former is nearer the mark
than the latter. Yesterday we came
across a stray copy of the Wilming
ton Journal, dated October 14th, 1870,
at the time when it was published
by Messrs. Engelhard & Price,
and in it we find the following, writ
ten by the present Editor of this
paper, who was at that time local
Editor of the Journal:
A Sad Retrospection. To day,
October 14th, is the anniversary of,
perhaps, the saddest day in the his
tory of our city, for, on this day just
eight years ago, the terrible yellow
fever scourge reached the climax of
its ravages, both in point of the
number of cases and in the mortali ty.
For the five weeks previously
the fearful epidemic had raged, re
ducingthe number of the living and
wearing down, with incessant labor,
the few who remained to nurse and
care for the sick.
A diary kept by one of those who
so nobly remained here, during
those days which indeed tried men's
souls, to minister tQ the sick and
distressed and to bury the dead,
shows that, for the 24 hours previous
to the 14th, there were 87 new cases
while, on that date, there - were 43
interments. On Saturday, the 18th,
there had been 500 new cases during
the past week, and 150 interments.
This week was the terrible week,
and this day the awful day, of that
fearful visitation. The streets were
empty, business was entirely sus
pended, and nothing broke the sick
ly silence save the rolling sound of
a hearse or the physician's vehicle
or, here and there, a solitary foot
fall. We were here then,ourself,and
can never forget those fearful days.
God grant that it may be long,
very long, before we are again call
ed upon to withstand another gtVwi
visitation.
