HOST WORTHILY DONE,
When North Carolina goai from
home to attend other -p&oplaVel
uTSSioni, she ii the tail end of the
show. Bat when on Her own heath,
she celebrates some achievement of
the paet, sho does it well and with
prond and uplifted head. The Stab
congratulates Judge Schenckupon
the splendid success that has attend
ed his patriotic and well directed
efforts in vindicating the men of
1781, who perilled all at the "hard
foughten field" of Guilford Court
House. It felioitates Senator Vance
on his smoothly flowing, thoughtful
and impressive address. It congrat
ulates the Thirteen States in the
persons of the young and handsome
girls upon their patriotism in doing
honor to so important an historic
event. We compliment all true, loyal
North Carolinians who were
present in sharing in the cer
emonies commemorative of one of
the great epochal points in American
history. We hope the anticipations
of the inspirer of the whole move
ment, Judge Schenck, will be realized
in the vast attendance in 1891, when
the monument to Gen. Greene, who
commanded at Guilford C. H. and
gave Cornwallis such a hotly contest
ed fight and made it in fact a victory
for the Americans, will be unveiled,
and that North Carolina will be pres
ent in the persons of her fair daugh
ters and State-loving sons from the
Bounding sea to the hills of the Dan
and from Lake Drummond to where
the lofty mountains of Black Range
lift their towering peaks to the skies
and receive the earliest kisses of the
creeping dawn. North Caro
linians, throw aside yonr in
difference and cultivating a nobler
passion for Statehood come up to the
help of the patriotio and devoted
Bons and daughters of the dear old
State,and henceforth resolve that jus
tice shall be dose though the heavens
fall and that in civic days her name
shall be respected. Let the history
of the deeds of the men of the past
be reoorded by competent hands. Let
the facts that glorify North Carolina
be blazoned so that Prejudice and
Falsehood shall elink away and Slan
der shall hide himself in the dark
caves of death among the reptiles
that creep and hiss and sting.
, PROTECTION lit TBE IOCTQ.
The New York Graphic is quot
ing Southern Protection" papers and
others that claim to be the genuine
Democratic article to prove that the
South is becoming rapidly "in favor
of the Protection principle as a Go
vernmental policy." The Stab is not
quoted to prove this error, nor will
it be so quoted. The Graphic is
misled. The true Democracy of
the South are united in an eternal
antagonism to a Protective Tariff
with incidental revenue.
The Democracy in 1892, will be as
strong for Tariff Reform as it was in
1876, when the whole Democracy
rallied under the Reform flag of Til'
den, and gained a splendid victory,
The very papers that denounce with
such shameful trnculence and ingrat
itude Cleveland, Carlisle, Mills, and
all of the brainy and earnest Demo
crats' in the House will be tooting for
Tariff Reform in 1892, or they will
be training with the Radicals.
There will be nothing else to do.
What can . the Democrats do but
stand by the people and stand up
bravely for lower taxes and the ra-
xeeiBg of the giant War Tariff in
the next Presidential campaign ? If
the Democratic party, as such,should
fail the people in that supreme hour
and unite with Radicalism in doing
what the Graphic says is going
on in the South among the Demo
crats rapidly leaning "in favor of
the Protective principle as a Govern
mental policy then as sure as prin
ciples remain and find exponents, the
Democracy will split, and a genuine
Democratic party will be found that
shall uphold State Rights, Low
Taxes, a Tariff based upon a low
schedule, in which all luxuries will
be taxed and the various necessaries
of life will either be put upon the
free list, or will be taxed at the least
minimum say President Washing
ton's Tariff of eight per cent. The
taxes on luxuries will continue as
a cardinal principle so long as
there are $48,000,000 of annual in
terest to raise on the war debt and
$80,000,000 or more of pensions to
be raised each year for the Yankee
soldiers. The "Solid South" will
quickly dissolve when Protection is
urged among Democrats as the
"principle" to compose "a Govern
mental policy." Papers that de
nounce Mills and Carlisle and Cleve
land can then fight on the side of
Protection and free cigars, &o., as
their distinctive "principle" if they
so elect.
If the division should ocour Car
lisle, Cleveland, Cox, Mills, the
Breckinridges and ther other brainy
leader will la" found on the side of
the people and low taxes.
NORTH CAROLINA NOTE9.
Relying upon what was said in the
letter of Capt. Bond, we said that
there were but 25 regiments in both
armies that lost in one battle 100
killed and mortally wounded. Re
ferring to the list in Sunday's Stab
it is evident it should have been 200
as all the 25 lost more than that
number. A fearful list of casualties
ending in death. We may supple
ment the list by giving those between
200 and 100 killed and mortally
wounded.
"Hon. Jefferson Davis says of .the Con
federate Cabinet: 'The President was an
Episcopalian, tbe Vice President a Presby
terian, the Secretary of State a Hebrew, the
Secretary of the Treasury an Episcopalian,
the Secretary of War a Presbyterian, the
Secretary of the Navy a Catholic, the Postmaster-General
a Baptist.' "
It is very strange that the name of
the Attorney General was omitted.
Hon. George Davis, one of the most
eminent and gifted of North Caro
lina's men of the last half of the
nineteenth century, filled the office
named. He is a member of the
Episcopal Chnrch. The late Bishop
Davis, of South Carolina, was his
brother. Both are natives of Wil
minton. Mr. Davis was also in the
Confederate Senate. He still lives,
we are glad to know, in this city,
honored for his virtues and abilities.
He is nearly or quite 69 years of
age We hope his years in the land
of his fathers will be yet many.
A correspondent of the Raleigh
News-Observer comments at some
length upon the recent communica
tion in the Stab signed "A North
Carolinian," and thinks that it is
talking out in meeting. It was good,
healthy talk. He omitted one char
acteristic that is more damning and
repreheasible than those defects
mentioned. It is mean, petty, per
sonal jealousy. It has always abound
ed in North Carolina and is mani
fested in a thousand ways, even in
the books. A gifted man once said
that there were two things in North
Carolina that were regarded as simply
criminal to be born a gentleman
and to know more than your fellows.
The supreme effort in North Caro
lina is to drag down, not to lift np.
Some few men have their horns
sounded all the year, round. But
scores of meritorious and gifted men
are ignored and neglected.
SHOBT STOPS.
The colored "man and brother" by
the name -of Lynch, who was a Rep
resentative in Reconstruction times
from the State of Mississippi, is not
pleased at the plan of forming in the
South a white man's . party in the
Radical wing of the country. The
Stab has already laughed at this fol
ly." They would not constitute a cor
poral's guard if the negroes were to
withdraw their support. The negro
ex-Representative says that "the for
mation of a white man's party to the
exclusion of the negroes is an absurd
ity, and the idea will find its chief
support among men who want to
keep the party conveniently small, so
that the offices will go around. The
Southern Democrats of Mississippi do
not fear negro domination on a fair
vote."
We noted the absurd contrast
drawn by Mr. Depew between the
two great men in Washingten's Cab
inet. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Antithesis is proper when
based on truth. No speaker has a
right to sacrifice truth on the altar of
eulogy. Tbe Louisville Courier
Journal discusses the absurdity of
Depew. It gives extracts from Ham
ilton's speeches in the Constitutional
Convention to show how far away
from the truth was the New Yorker
when he spoke of Hamilton as the
incarnation of the Constitution. Re
ferring to the Virginia plan, which
was not strong enough for the Con
solidationist, Hamilton said:
"Gentlemen say we need to be rescued
from Democracy, but what are the means
proposed? A Democratic Assembly is to
be checked by a Democratic Senate, and
these by a Democratic Chief Magistrate.
Tbe Virginia plan is but pork still, with a
little change of sauce,"
"What means did Hamilton propose for
savin? 'the country fromdemocacy T'
" 'I despair,' he said, 'that a Republican
form of Government can remove the diffi
culties; I would hold it, however, unwise
to chango it. The best form of Govern
ment not attainable by us. but the model
to which we ehould approach as near as
possible is the British Constution. Its
Houae of Lords is a most noble institution."
There is more of it, but this will
do. Hamilton wanted a Senate for
life and he wanted a King. At any
rate he said this:
"It seems that no good executive can be
established upon Republics principles.
The English model is the only good one.
The British executive is placed above temp
tations."
George III. was Kiag. Hamilton
was in favor of taking his son as our
ruler.

CURRKXT COMMENT.
' If there are protectionists,
like the late Mr. Barnum, so wedded
to the Democratic party that they
will leave it, even op that issue, that
cannot be helped. But it ought to be
understood at once that they must
henceforth walk at the tail of the
Democratic procession and not at its
head. They cannot be trusted in any
position of control, management or
influence in it. They ought to un
derstand that if a Democratic Presi
dent is elected in 1892 they will not
be allowed to have office or influence
under his administration. The next
Democratic President will not pur
sue Mr. Cleveland's course in this
matter. N. Y. Herald Ind.
President Harrison would not
break the Sabbath by starting on his
trip until after 12 o'clock last night.
But no doubt President Harrison
made his servants break tbe Sabbath
in getting iready for his journey and
the railway men in preparing his
train. In other words, probably
some fifty people were compelled to
break the Sabbath that one person
might be able not to break it. Those
aft magnificent scruples of Mr. Har
rison's, which make him strain at a
gnat while he swallows a camel.

"with the U. S. Signal Service, for the
week ending Saturday, May 4,1889:
Cbxtbax Officb, Kaijeigh, N. Cv
The excess of rainfall, deficiency
of temperature and sunshine in the
State for the week ending Saturday,
May 4tb, have been rather unfavora
ble to crops, but so far there is no rea
son for complaint as the general out
look is very encouraging, the season
being far in advance of that of 1888,
and rather earlier than the average
season. So far no serious injury is
reported from frost and tbo season is
so well advanced now that the prob
abilities are that our crops will escape
injury from this source. The pros
pect for fine yield of wheat, oats and
fruit is excellent. Considerable dam
age to strawberries in the neighbor
hood of Warsaw, Duplin county, is
reported from the cyclone which oc
curred in that vicinity on the 2d.
Eastern- DisTBicu.The weather
in tbe eastern portion of the State
has been rather unfavorable to the
growing crop, tbe excels of rain fall
in this district retarding the planting
of cotton and causing the corn to
rot. Great amount of replanting re
ported. Potato crop badly icjured
in Camden county.
Ckntbal Distbict. Crops gene
rally have been favorably affected in
'this district. The excess of rainfall,
however, has retarded the planting
of cotton and the growth of corn.
More clear, warm weather is needed.
The temperature and sunshine were
below the average. Light frost re
ported from Walnut Cove, Stokes
county, in the north western part of
this district, on May 3d, without da
mage to crops.
Western Distbict. There has
been an excess of rainfall, a deficien
cy of temperature and sunshine in
this distriot, but crops generally do
not appear to be unfavorably affect
ed. Cotton needs more sunshine.
Frost reported on the 3d at Morgan
ton, Burke county, without injurious
effect.

COTTON,
New York Commercial Chronicle
Fbiday, p. m., May 3. The move
ment of the crop, as indicated by
our telegrams from the South to
night, is given below. For the week
ending this evening (May 3), the
total receipts have reached 28,242
bales, against 36,205 bales last week,
38,922 balesihe previous week: mak
ing the total receipts since the 1st
of September, 1888, 5,417,170 bales,
against 5,225,866 bales for the same
period of 1887-8, showing an in
crease since September 1, 1888, of
161,304 bales.
The exports for the week ending
this evening reach a total of 65,337
bales, of which 40,943 were to Great
Britain 1,797 to France and 22,597 to
the rest of the Continent.
To day a decline in Liverpool and
some improvement in the statistical
position abroad caused a further de
cline in this crop, and the next was
barely steady, but later in the day
prices took a stronger turn oa the
better spot market, with reduced
Southern stocks. Cotton on the spot
advanced l-16c. on Saturday and
again on Monday. There was some
oomplaint of tbe scarcity of full
lines of the better grades. Yester
day there was a further advance of
116c. To-day there was another
advance of 1 16c, middling uplands
closing at 11 3 lOo, with abetter bu
siness for export and home consump
tion. .
The total sales for for ward deli very
for the week are 339.300 bales.

The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exer
cised by its manufacturers to, make it en
tirely pure, uniform in qualitv, and of the
highest leavening power. All the scientific
knowledge, care and skill, attained by a
twenty years' practical experience are con
tributed toward this end, and no pharma
ceutical preparation can be dispensed with
a greater accuracy.preciaion and exactness.
Every article ussd is absolutely pure. A
number of chemists are employed to test
the strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination with
its co-ingredients is definitely known. No
thing is trusted to chance, and no person
is employed in the preparation of the' ma
terials used or the manufacture of the pow
der, who is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. As a consequence,
the Royai Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence, always pure, whole
some, and uniform in quality. Each box
is exactly like every otuer, and will retain
its powers and produce the same and high
est leavening effect in any climate, at any
time. The Government Chemists, alter
having analyzed all the principle brands in
the market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at tbe head of the
list for strength, purity and wholesome
ness. and thousands of tests all over tbe
country have further demonstrated tbe fact
that its qualities are, in every respect, un
rivaled. COMMERCIAL.

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Robert a.
Bellamy's Wholesale and Retail Drug
Store as their giving away to their custo
mors of so many free trial bottles of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this
very valuable article, from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup,
and all throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buying by
petting a trial bottle free, large size $1.

I am satisfied that Cancer Is hereditary In my fam
ily. My father died of it, a sister of my mother died
of it, and my own sister died of it. My feeling
may be imagined, then, when the horrible diseas
made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant
Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way that it could
not be cnt out. Numerous remedies were used for
it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seem
ed that I was doomed to follow the others of tha
family. I took Swift's Specific, which, from the first
day? forced out the poison, and continued its use
until I had taken several bottles, when I found my
self well. I know that S. S. 8. cored me.

DR. ROGER ATKINSON PATTERSON,

klnson, who is an accomplished gentleman
and intelligent physician, living not far from
Panacea feprings, gave the subjoined testimonial
In 1884 Please read carefully and profit by me
perunal. Dr. Patterson said: , ,
Bight or ten years ago a man in my neighbor
hood In very bad health, looking thin and pale,
and so feeble aa scarcely to be able- to walk U
did not inquire Into the nature of his oomplaint)
procured quart era near Panacea Springs, so aa
to be able to get the water dally with ease. In
a few weeks afterwards I saw blm and he had
recovered his usual health and strength and
flesh, and I never heard of any return of his dis
ease. In my own person I suffered with dyspep
sia la some of its most distressing forms, includ
ing toroor of the bowels. I procured ten gal
lons of water, five gallons at a time, and before
finishing the second supply my appetite was
much increased, all my painful symptom disap
peared, and I ate with impuaity articles of diet, 1
did not dare to touch before, ana at present I am
quite toetl. The water seemed to regulate tha
digestive system, the source of life and health.
