'ghz gaming jKta, BY WTTailftBt B. MbKNARD WILMINGTON. iM. C. Satubdat jhobkiks. November 2. NEGBO DISTKIBUTIOH. While there has been more or less negro migration . Northward and Westward since the war between the States, the census reports show that it has been remarkably small and that the now has been confined mainly a few States, such as New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, in all Which there are larere cities. These &re the onlv States that seem to hare much attraction for the ne groes, and that because they have large cities in them. . One would suppose, in view 4-.be font that the People of the New England States have taken BO rnnnh interest in the "man and the brother" and agitated against slaverv until they provoked a war that ended in. emancipation, that th$ negroes would drift in large numbers to their "friends," but thev do not seem to have found their way thither in anything like large numbers, but on the con trary have increased so little in some of these States that there are but few more there now than there were forty years ago, while taking New England as a whole there are not much more than twice as many there as there were forty years ago. The following table showB the num ber as reported by the census of 1860, 1890 and 1900: New England 1900. Maine 1,819 1890, 1,190 614 937 22,144 6,303 12,302 1860. 1,847 New Hamprhire 662 494 Vermont 826 709 Massachusetts. . ..31,744 Rhode Island .... 9,093 Connecticut 15,227 9'602 3.952 8,627 Total 59,099 44,580 24,711 In all these States mere have been negroes for a hundred years, while in three of them, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, there has been no preemptible increase, of the others Massachusetts being the only one which has shown a large gain when compared with the others. Considering the fact that so much I had been said about the negroes by I the press and orators and preachers of that section, so much about the "brotherhood of man," all men be ing "born free and equal," Ac, one might think that the negroes would flock thither and that at the end of thirty-six years of freedom to go in any direction, there would be more than 50,000 of them in all New England. But they do dot seem to have been attracted in that direc- , tion and their dear friends and ?ad vocates up there do not ceem to have made any special efforts to at tract them. But the fact is that since the negro has ceased to be a 'Tinman chattel" and ceased to hoe as a slave the Southern white man's cotton, corn, sugar and tobacco the New Englanders have lost interest in him. Another fact is that the thrifty, pushing New Englander expects to get all the work out of a laborer that he pays for and a little more, and consequently didn't find the negro the kind of a laborer he was looking for and naturally preferred white labor to his. Therefore negro labor was not in much demand in that section. This is true, also, of New Englanders ; who have settled in the South, for they don't like negro labor and with possibly rare exceptions the negro laborers don't like them be cause they require too much and are not as tolerant or indulgent as Southern white employers are. As between the two the average negro will in nine cases ont of ten prefer to work for the Southern white man. The new States and Territories of the West, where labor has been and is in demand, and where wages are comparatively high, ought to have had attractions for the negroes, but they do not seem to have had, for there has been a very small increase in the negro population of those States and Territories in the past ten years, which is reported by the census of 1890 and 1900, as follows: 1900. .11,025 . 8,627 . 2,814 . 1,848 . 1,610 . 1,523 . 1,105 . 940 672 . 293 . 134 1800. 11,322 6,205 1,602 1,357 1,956 1,490 1,186 922 588 201 212 California ...

Total 80,190 27,071 Here is an increase of but a little over 3,000 in eleven States and Ter ritories in ten years with all the de mand for labor in the mine, on the railroads, ranches, &c. Perhaps the cost of getting there may have been a drawback to migration to that section, but this watf not the case with the central wester States where, while th rttrmbW i larger, the increase &ash5 beeW p&p&tti&t ately a greafy Detegiytrtf Hifte over 1,000 in ten jMrife Tb ti&itig table gives tiis number foY arid 1890. . . ; Michigan Wisconsin Minnesota...., Iowa.

The census reports for these States are as follows: 1900. 1890. New York 156,845 107.896 Pennsylvania 99,233 70.09S Illinois 85,078 57,028 Total 341.155 234,716 Here we see an increase in ten years of 116,339 in three populous States, two of them the most popu lous in the Union. Divide this by ten and it gives an annual increase of only 11,633 for all of them, n average of less than 4,000 for each of these great States. And yet each of these States has great cities in it, which were the attraction to draw the negroes to them, and in addition to that there has been im portations into Pennsylvania and Il linois to work in the mills and mines in place of strikers. With this small exodus of negroes from the South into the North it will be a long time before there will bo such a distribution as would help to solve the race problem. The ne groes will continue to move, of course, but the movement will be more from one Southern State to another than from the South to the North, and whatever that may be it will not be enough to become per ceptible in the South. With all the bewailings of the ne gro's condition, political proscrip tion, the loss of franchise, etc., he evidently prefers the South to the North as a home place, and if it were altogether a matter of judgment he shows his sense. WHAT WAS SCHLEY? After reading the testimony for the prosecution in the Schley case, the question might be asked, what was Schley, anyhow, that is in the estimation of the Navy Department at Washington and of Admiral Sampson? The general supposition is that he was in command of a fly ing squadron, charged with an im portant mission, and that he went to sea in pursuance of orders from the Navy Department. But from the evidence given in this case it seems that both the Navy Department and Admiral Sampson treated him as a personage of no importance, but left him to shift for himself, and are now trying to discredit him and ruin his reputation as an officer, because he did not, in all cases, conform to their notions and plans, when he didn't know what those notions and plans were, and had to be governed solely by his own judgment, and such information as he could gather while afloat and looking for the Spanish fleet. According to the testimony of some of these witnesses he was not informed of the fact that arrange ments had been made by which signals were sent by insurgents to the fleet a very important matter to the commander of vessels on the watch for the Spanish fleet. He was not informed that the Government had confidential agents in Havana from whom it received information, when Admiral Samp son knew that and it was a very im portant matter for Schley to know. He was not informed that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago when he thought it might be in Cien fuegos, and the Navy Department had information that it was in San tiago harbor. And according to the testimony of Captain Chadwick, of the New York, Admiral Sampson's ship, the orders of the Navy Department not to expose the ships to fire from the land batteries was not communi cated to him, either a very impor tant matter for. him to know if it was important enough for Admiral Sampson to know. They seem to have thought that it was not necessary to tell Schley anything, but to simply let him shift for himself and then find fault with him, criticise his management. charge him with being a blunderer, defame him and try to deprive him of the credit of having accomplished the object for which he was tent out, that is the finding and destruc tion of Cervera's fleet. If this shameful and outrageous ignoring of an officer charged with the command of a fleet does not lead to another investigation by Con gress, Congi ess will prove as neg- ectful of its duty as the' Navy De partment and Sampson were in thus ignoring Schley. INTEREST IV BETTER ROADS. The movement inaugurated by the Southern railroad by sending a train equipped with road-making machinery and expert road builders through the country tributary to its ines,is awakening an interest in road- building that will doubtless result in much good, in better roads and more of them. The good roads Congress at - Winston, where this train first stopped and gave the first object lesson, is proof of the inter- eretft taken In the State, for it is said there are representatives there it&ta nearly every county in the State ; ;r The importance of good roads, tfceif tila to the people who have to get to market with their pro dace, and their talne )to the State it lrgedoeff not admit of argument, tot It la self-evident. Bailroads are good, they are great developers tnd wealth makers, bnt we have not a fourth part of the railroad facili- ies needed in the South and while building is steadily progressing, it I makes Happy Homes tW The perfect Stove and Range is distinguished by above trade mark. Jawel Stoves R. H. BEERY, 10 Market St., Wilmington, N. C. will be a good while before we have, Railroad will be built only where there is a reasonable prospect that they will pay, and they will pay onjly in sections which are produc tive enough to give them business to do, something to haul out and in. But what use is a railroad to a farmer who can't reach it without spending more time on the road than his load of marketable stuff is worth, and in some seasons can't reach it at all, at the very time too when his crop must or should be marketed? Such a man might as well be living in the midst of a de sert for all the good a railroad does him or all the profit he gets out of his farm. Good roads are not only conveniences; time, labor and stock savers, but are absolutely necessary from a business stand point. Freddy Gebhard thought he was doing a cute thing when he sneaked off to South Dakota and filed appli cation for divorce from his wife on ground of desertion. But the lady was too smart for him. She heard of it, started at once for S. D., filed a counter suit on the same ground, proved the desertion, got a divorce with a decree of cost for $1,000 to pay expenses, and another decree compelling Freddy to pay her $185, 000 and make over to her his New York residence, which is a nobby one. Wifey wouldn't mind being divorced from Freddy several times, with a prospect of such supplemen tal proceedings. BOOK HOTICES.

As it costs tbom little or nothing they ure lavish in spending it 1 lus is a great mistake. All should try to nave money and never spend it with out a reason or without getting some thing worth what they pay" for. They will not always have parents to take care or them. As they grow up they will need money. Young men need it, and young women need it. Persons should rarely or never marry unless they have some mon ey saved or are receiving so much for their labor that they can take care of themselves if they should for awhile be sick. Those who do not marry and, save nothing are in a pitiable condition when old age overtakes them or sickness pre vents them from working or leaving their homes. Once in a great while a youth is found with a morbid desire to hoard. Personal ly we have known hut few such, but in them the habit grew until they became notorious for meanness. - A story is told of a celebrated bishop who grew so mean that one day when he cut bis finger with a penknife and no court plaster could Le found a clergyman standing by brought out his card case and took from it a 5 cent stamp and gave it to the bishop to use to stop the flow of blood. The bishop accepted it gratefully, placed the 5 cent stamp in his own carucase and then took out a 1 cent stamp and pasted it over the still bleeding wound. This seems almost too much to believe. But a celebrated minister in New Eng land was offered a bat by a hatter who was a friend of his and who admired him In most respects. He asked him if he bad another kind. "Yes," he said, "though not quite so good as that." He said he would like to see one and asked what the price of the first one was and was told S5 and of the second $3? "Well," said he, "as yon offered me the first one, if 1 should take the second would yon give me the difference in money?" A young person should not be a spendthrift, nei ther should he bejgngy. Christian Ad vocate. ' Quite Proper. . "Mr. Untidy," began his talented young wife one night as she stood knee deep in a bowl of dough, "can you tell me one thingr "I certainly can, grumbled the ambi tious husband, who was standing in the corner peeling some of the apples which had been sent to them by his mother-in-law up in Podunk. "Tell me, then," continued the good woman, pulling off a small piece of the pasty mixture for Wilfred to play with, fthe proper season of the year in .which to pick apples?" u : ; "Lef s see,", scowled Mr. U- ''didn't Eve pick them just before the fall?" ' And immediately after this utterance a frightful noise evolved from the parlor, where Wilfred was trying to take the temperature of the cat's ear with a piece of dough, despite the feline's unceasing skirmishes.
