Wscopy all this because it vindi cates, the good name of Brigades from other States that were com manded by our own noble, sifted. able Pettigrew. Of Pettigrew's own splendid Brigade Mr. Smith says nothing. ur reoollection is that it lost more heavily than any Brigade in the Division commanded by Geo.

' CoL Walter Tay lor, of Norfolk, and other Virginians have made some very cruel misstate' ments and they have never corrected them North: Carolinians will never rob Virginia troops of one particle of praise or (honor, but ; they; j are not content to be robbed! of dear ly Von glory. On every battlefield in Virginia North Carolina troops were in the veryj thickest of the deadly conflict. Around Richmond," in the Wilderness,' arid in other jbloody en gagements North Carolina lost more troops than any other State. Out of voting population of 112,000 in 1860, she sent in four years more than 115,000 soldiers to the war. In - i - i two series of engagements alone she ost more than 10,000 killed and wounded. At Gettysburg! she had more men killed and wounded than . i . any other State. P. Hill, Gen. D. . . I' i i-r I Gen. Leei Gen. A. H. Hill,' Gen. Trim- Die.

ADULTERATED LARD SUPPOSED SIGNS OF PROGRESS. It is said that of the lard com- pounds manufactured in the North, at least one fifth is cotton-Seed oil. i i. We do not know bow tbe latter af- fects the health!. It may be as health ; - ful as "gut fat" and other oleaginous productions. But when a man buys lard, be prefers not to be buying something elsei A great cry went up that oleomargarine must be sup pressed, but not a word was. said of cotton-lard and ' other compounds - i . that were fraudulent and deceptive. The New York Times, referring' to the Armour admission of the enor mous use of cotton-seed ou as an adulterant in the manufacture called lard, says: I I of 80- "A ton of cotton-seed yields from 35 to 40 callous of oil. It has recently been stated by persons familiar with the business that 500,000 tons I of seed Were crushed in the mills last year. The oil product was therefore from 17.500,000 to 20,000,000 nitons. Mr. Armour admits that he used in his lard factory one-fifth of this, or from 8,500,000 to 4.000,000 gallons." I I Cotton-seedi oil is very much cheaner than lard, and one pound is equal in manufacturing to 1J pounds lard. The Times says the adultera tion is not confined to lard, but enters into the Northern cheese. It says: "Merchants in the cheese trade declare that this adulteration injuriously affects nnr ernnrt trade, the auantitv of cheese ex ported having fallen from 147.995,614 pounds in 1881 to 86,868,685 pounds in 1888. Only one-sixth of tbe cottonseed of int ve&r'a croD was crushed in tbe factories. The business of making cotton seed is. therefore capable of expansion.", ; Years ago the papers called atten tion'to the fact that large quantities of the oil were 'shipped from New Or- leans to Italy l and : that it; was - re- nn..J hranVled "OHve ; oil." In 1886 alone 6,574,000 gallons 'of the potton-seed oil were shipped- abroad. Amour; and Company, with ' their J tTeeive pew: mills, can supply' Italy and the cheese makers as well athe lard adulteraters with all thes cotton seed oil k they may . need. Id, the mean tirae the people are tbe Victims I of frauds." When will the Southern farmers learn to raise their own pork and make their own lard ? -' -There are a hundred pounds of E so-called lard brought into North Carolina now to one pound that was imported in 1860. It is a shame to see bow blinded the -people are to their ' own interests. Farmers feed ing stock on Northern hay and on Northern corn; farmers feeding their families on Northern canned goods and cabbages brought across the' At lantic Ooean from Sweden; farmers selling off; fine;, woods for one-tenth tbeif value to bV brought back into the. South . and sold to., them in the BbP of forpiturV and plougha"an4 agricultural implements and wagons and buggies and carriages ; farmers buying everything they use, even to their flour and wearing apparei, and raising but one article for market, anc this is the boasted change and im provement and material prosperity of the vain -glorious "New South." ; I The fathers were not wise, but are the children wiser? Have the men of 1 886, improved upon the methods of the men of 1850-60? Do eating European cabbage and feeding stock on Northern hay and depending upon Northern j merchants for flour and meal, and ceasing to rely upon borne manures, and keeping the smoke house and granaries in the North - Vest, constitute "progress," ana man ifest - tbe great awakening of the young and puissant "New South' that derides and.spits upon the South T before the war? Then God deliver i - the people from such "progress, say we with reverence and sincerity.1 Do covering ine tanas an over witu mort . j .t i ' ii -. i . gages and even pledging the crops not yet grown manifest genuine progress and material advancement? We tri w not. These things mean beggary slavery, ruin. By common consent of those best informed and witn a wide range 45f vision the South in 1887 is really tar less prosperous than it was eighteen years ago? We nave no doubt that the people as a whole are very much worse off, be cause they were only poor and strug gling then, bat now they are poor and struggling and heavily in debt. The manufacturing 'developing is genuine and important. Jtsut it is local and is not a, drop in the bucket. While the increase in this depart ment of labor and enterprise is mark ed it is not a drop in the bucket com pared with the losses the South has sustained in the last three years by reason of short crops and low prices. The South by these two causes is poorer by at least $500,000,000. Until the system of farming chances there will be no solid de velopment, no substantial improve ment, for agriculture is the true basis of all true, material advancement. Tbe Southern people roust manufac ture what they use; they must raise what they consume; they must be come more self reliant, more enter prising, more energetic, more inde pendent, i ' ' - : - - " . i Rev. Dr. Fitzgerald, editor of the Nashville Advocate, which has a larger circulation than any religions paper m the South, is a native of North Carolina. Referring to the wild speculations in progress in the South and the somewhat hot-house forcing process resorted to to stimu late prices, he says in his paper: "There is a collapse not far off which vill destroy the interests of not a few who are engagea in tnese speculations, ana rhich will set back for many years tbe normal and healthy progress of the South. Tbe attempt to force the premature ripen ing of tbe fruits of the future will surely result in the decay which always follows such a process. This has been the experi ence of all other sections of the country which have fallen into the bands and the habits of the boomers, and our people are vain to look for any other result here. It Is as inevitable as the operation of the laws of gravity. The warning is timely. At Birm ingham and other points money has been and will continue to be made, but many a man will rue the day when he took a hand in the specula tive mania. ' The love of money be longs to the race. It is not only a root of nil evil, but it is the sin of the age. The Methodist Year Book for 1887 gives some big figures. They will in terest many of our readers. On Jan; nary last Methodism throughout the world numbered 35,000 travelling preachers, - and 6,320,000 members.' In the United States there are 27,000 travelling preachers, and 4,000,000 members, and a population of over 15,000,000, or more than one-fourth of tbej population, of the entire conn- try 56,000,000.

This branch road would penetrate one of the most prosperous agricultural sections of eastern South Carolina The country along the line of both roads is very level, and consequently tbe cost of making deep cuts and embtnkments will be obviated.

In case the right of way cannot be had the extension will begin at a point two or three mites belowj Sumter, toward Wedgefleld. Fatal Accident to a Cblld.

' New Yobk. March 10. The executive committee of the Richmond Terminal Co. has just gone into session. They will con sider two propositions relating to the pur chase of the Baltimore & Ohio stock; under the option given by Kob e Garrett to Alfred SulW. One of the directors I just said that the proposition most likely to! be adopted is that the syndicate shall : take! stock in their interest and bold it until the Richmond Terminal's fall board of directors approve the action or the executive committee. It will then be placed on collateral trust, and the Richmond Terminal will either consol idate tbe Baltimore & Ohio wilh their sys tem or operate it separately as a proprietary road. Ihe .Baltimore Ohio track, from Ballimcre and Washington to Philadel phia, wilt be used as a. trunk line for the business of its own Western lines and tbe other roads in the Richmond Terminal sys tem. Ihe fennsylvsnia road has no inter est in the deal, nor has the Western Un:cn. It is simply a Richmond Terminal arrange ment, and has no similarity to the sale of tbe Vanderbilt holdings of the New Yoik Central to the London syndicate, j The price and mode of payment are about tbe same as already published . The purchase! of minority stock is not being corrsideTedJ New York. March 10. The meeting of the Richmond Terminal Executive Com mittee has adjourned to meet at the call of Mr; Sully, but all information is refused as to their action. Members intimate I that they are pledged to secrecy, and Mr Brice is quoted as saying that premature publica lion of the proposed plan may interfere with the accumulation ot a majority of tbe stock which Mr. Gariett agreed to deliver. He also stated that be thought Mr. Garrett only 'wanted to make a nominal sale, for tbe purpose of amalgamating the Balti more & . Ohio System with the Richmond Terminal. Th is, Mr. Brice says, he is will ing, as a director of the Terminal Company to accede to. After the adjournment of the committee, several of the directors met, and all the Circumstances so far to-day confirm the director's statement made be fore tbe meeting was called to order. .

At the time of the killing there was no regular examining trial, the authorities fearing mob violence, which was at the time quite demonstrative and openly talked of on the streets, to allay which the prisoner was quietly shipped to Covington, Ky., jail, where he has been confined for the last year. Tbe ruse at the time barely succeeded by the clever management of the sheriff and other authorities. Last night a crowd of masked men broke into the jail and took possession of Jackson, for the purpose of lynching him. They moved out of town along the line of the Kentucky Central Railroad. Not a shot was fired. Jackson was taken some distance and bung to a tree when the crowd dispersed, i A BUBBLE BURST. Tb Armour Firm Deelde not to Build i! Cottonseed oil mills. Chicago. March 11.
