My I'f.ar (tUASHHOS:
A I IfH tlie .uncling at Wilmington
near where the old , wliaryes I'mhI lobe,
you akel me to give you a description
of thing as ihey were hen my father
was alive, and when I was a .by, and
to lell something as to how ,lhe
present state of things came about. We
were time 1mvh getting here and had
hard rowing, as the rirrr was full of
deft 1 ir'Ts, logs and brush, and our pro
viniLMis nearly gave out. We'ale1 the
last on i he bUilf where the village of
Kl;7.abethtown u.ird to stand, under the
shadow of the luins of the old Court
House, and reached here this nioruing
at about daylight.. You kiow I itm
nesr the end of my eighty-first ycarJ
It was before I was boru that North'
Carolina and nearly all the southern
Mates began to decline. When I was
ten years jld there were several steamers
'running on the Cape Fear, and I Lave
nee-i nearly a hundred sail in the river
at Wilmington. Now scarcely one a
'nmiiili, and no steamers because !.therc
H nothing for luetrrto do. There were
jil-o threo railroads running out of .the
own, which haye long since been dia
coiiliiiued becauso there was no busi
nrw for them, and the iron was taken
up." Then the country was quite thickly
willed where it is now grown up to
forest", ami Ihero were1 roads and little
villages where there is now not much
lint desolation and wilderness. WU
miiigton then was quite a flourishing
town, as were Charlotte, FaycttevilleJ
ltaldjh, Newberne, and -other places.!
There were in all of them churches and'
kuuuI and haudsomo private rcsj
demies, where there are now only a few
small and poor houses and crumbling
hriik walls. Then; it was perfectly
.safe to travel alone anywhere, and ycu
Keuld not set a stockade around any
liimje, and there were no highwaymen
nor wandering and marauding bands of
thieves as now, excepting in a few in
Uncrs, and such a thing as a bear, or
rwoUe, or iludber was hardly known,
v litre now iliey are prowling all rhjut.
Vim, my boy,- who have read how
Mj.iirnt tiliiM like Tyre, , 4?rrdon and
.Niiieveli were iestroyed, how great and
populous and opulent countries' like
("krthnge and Macedonia were depopu
lated, and how great and" powerful ua-
lions hfco. Uomo were obliterated, or
j how -islands like Sicily or Cyprus or
jVvlontl wind feil, need not be surprised
t this great change in bur part of the
o'tinlry.' It is true that most populous
'ouiitrii-8 hate fallen in consequence of
irs, but not all. Oriur causes tiich
j.n ficcvdvo luxury which produced
jifleniinacy and vice aud iudoleuce have
pruken down peoples and depopulated
territories. fcome whole nations have
dwindled without any Tery ftppnrtnt
'.iuas hf instance Spain, which has
firmtly .'diminished from its fornnr
"fthli nnd population and splendor,
Mby war but by not keeping up with
'V preuress of (ither peoples,
i As near as I can judge the present
i"U(liii(.ii of this part of Ihe country
'me about nearly as follows: About

tMch wa called a rebellion or civil
"sr. iSime sjiid it wss caused by one
ilnng and sonic by another, but my
Uihrr always thought, and 1 too think,
ht it was causcli mainly by slavery,
"nichi lifn fxidted all around in the
''ustirrt. ,.,te. The result of the war

Towards the year 1900 things began
to change in th nor the ra. part of the
country, and those people got control
of the whole country strain. When the
new party took possession of the gov;
eminent from the President down, they
began to pass all sorts of new laws.
Among these new laws Congress passed
an act selliegVpart io the Jaegroes the
whofe'of the Indian Territory, and
parts of Texas, New Mexico and Ari
zona, and a part of the Territories of
Sinaloa, Senora, Duraogo, Chihuahua
and Tarn a dp pas, then recently acquired
frowi Mexico, and also z tery large ter-i
rilory in British Columbia, which with
all Canada, and what was called the
i)omiuion,had joined the United Stales.
The law provided that they could have
land free, and ten dollars ip money for
each member of their families, and some
other aids lor moving and settling.
And now began a mat remarkable
movement of the negroes. First, from
the state of Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland,' Noitheru - Virginia, Ohio,
Northern Kentucky , and some other
places, where the negroes had become
comparatively wealthy and intelligent,
they be,jan to migrate. They built up
settlement, iu these new places, and
largo towns, until in 1920 a new state
was admitted to the Cnion, nearly all
the officers of which were colored.
Some of Iheir statesmen were very able
and far "sighted, aud they increased
very rapidly in wealth and power. In
an incredibly short time all the old
border states were completely depopa
lated of their negroj population, and
they began ' to disappear from North
Carolina, slowly at first, then in large
bodies, until finally they fairly swarmed
along all tho high-ways, in carts, on
mules, aud ou foot, towards the new
black empires. AlTmt Ihe whUes were
pleased at the idea of gfttinj rid of the
negroes, and some of their leading
stiitesmcn advocated j and ' even voted
for the , measures of which I have
spokeni jo Congress. But Boon colored
labor began to be scarcer and scarcer,
until at last Ihero waa Absolutely none
except .a few old men kndwomen Who
could not get away. Then there spread
a great terror, and even distrjrs among
the whites There was almoek'ho'pop'
illation iu what had been the old alave
states out whites. And they didn't get
on very well performing all the labor,
except - a few In" the hJgKIaSdsr " A
good many of the smartest of the whites
began to leave, then, more and joore
They tried to get wnite emlgraatairom
Italy and other parts of Europe, and
eveu Mongolians and Chinese, but did
not get many who staid loogv At last
there was a very large exodus of the
whiles to the West and other places un
til the stato only contained about two
hundred thousand people. Towns went
to ruins, plantations grew up to forests,
the people fell into a kind of. a lethar
gic aud nomadic life. I The -wholo "Of
this eastern country became a dreary
wa- le,.with a few scattered settlements,
and infested with roving bands of pil
ferers and robbers, as perfect a picture
of misery aud discomfort and wretch
edness as can, be seen anywhere in
Norlh or South America,
j . -
' 1 had graduated from rrincetou Col
lege, and from Da ue Law School at
Cambridge, and had made my way
lowfy home when these things were in
progress. If it had not been lor my
lather I should have joined in the gen
eral hegira. Rut I staid all through it
aud to Ibis day am spending a wasted
life. If it had not been that my father
had preserved some considerable
amount of funds in foreign securities
which have payed well, I would have1
beeu badly oil".
There have occurred many things lo
which I have not alluded in the period
- mi m
since i can rememoer. mere nave
been a great many inventions, such as
the discovery that people can talk with
each other at a distance without a wire
as well as with a telephone, as was
formerly used j the application Of elec
tricity ns a iuotive pofcf, so tbai sieatn
and water power have gone entirely
out of use, and all the great manufac
tories and railroads and steamboats are
propelled by means of a motive power
derived from electricity; and the in
vention of air, carriages w hick were
made feasible by the elimination of a
new gase-.nis fluid in which the specific
gravity of a new gas was 89 mnrh in
crcasrd that four cubro' feet would lift
into ihe air a carriage carry iog four
persons, which ls?ing propelled bv
elrrtrical forcra cAild b giktetf
through any correal of .air a well as
ou the surface of water. And there
have Dern many other in veativns which
I do but mention.
Then there has been a good deal of
change in the national laws and in the
Constitution of lb United Ktatea. The
adottaion of the Dominion of Oaaada
made this uecewary, for they let those
provincTs In with all their laws and
privileges aa thiey were, and f et they
have Senator and members of Oon
greu jul aa the old states do, bat tbey
have their Iarliaaieat atill foe certain
purjxwcs, and their courts wsroarats
from the United But, courts, aiatlar
as thsy do in lluecary iaaide of Aus
tria, and in Traasy Waaia laud of
Hungary, as I have been tohL Thera
U bo talk now about stale rigfeu bo

rights they waaU The platioa of j
wo hundred million, and tti3 pyjple
foe the moat part very proa porous and
rich and contented, and proud of their
great nation. They elect a President
now, you- know, for eight years-and
then be canmever be'elecfcd ajfain.
Buppose this part of the country will,
long after I am dead, beconTe populous
and rich again. However it will prob
ably be a new people that will come
here, for the descendants of those who
moved away and established themselves
elsewhere, will not bo likely to come
back here, because they are well satis
fied where , they are The old people
who were' here in my young days,
would have been jis likely to return to
England or Scotland or Ireland or
Germany, where their ancestors came
from, as our descendants, who are scat
tered all over the country, woufd te to
come back here. They are now all
identified with the people where they
live, go to Congress, -fill the highest
offices, and four whose father Jived
here, have- already been Presidents,
aud such names as were prominent and
eminent over the south are how among
the famous and wealthy where they
live. Bight now a lineal descendant
of General Lee au t apother of Stone
wall Jackson :irj Senators from the
state of Catawba, and one of tho Ktietts
from the state of Washington is
on the bench of tho Supreme Court,
and one of the Toombaes, from the
state of Sierra is in ihe Cabi
net of Tfesident Hoar, the son of one
of the old Massachusetts Hoars, and
lots are millionaires in the creat pros
perous empires of the north aud west.
On of the Ltmnrs i Governor of the
new and great state of Hudson Buy,
away up ir Canada. A descendant of
Frederick Douglass is Governor of Sin
aloa, and one of the Langstou-j is Sen
ator from ; Arizona,? and ouo of the
Elliott's from Chihuahua, aud so there
seems to be hardly any of the old dif
ferences between the north and south.
When I think how things used to be
in my father's time, as compared with
now, I can hardly believe my own eyes.
Land is now worth next to nothing
here. Iu fact most of it now belongs
to the state, having escheated to it, the
government "of which is only about
half kept up. I have heard it reported
that the United Status is going to seize
all this waste laud ami put it in mar
ket. I5ut the t rouble is that very many
of the aucicut titles arc in the hands
of the desccudauts of those who onoe
lived here, nojv scattered, :. are still
kept up. -
I wish I had time to tell you more
of things as they wer.vand will if my
bid fingers do not liecomo too Irjinu
lous. This will bo delivered to you by
Mr. James Acklin, who hxi a stockade
five or sir miles above me, and who is
going down the rivir.
I am, my 'dear Grandson,

The Most Valuable Medical Discovery
Known to the World No More Use
t : For Quinine. Calomel or Mineral
liroua life for the Blood, Strength
For the Nerves, and Health for All.
AN OPEN LETT EH TO THE I'lltLIC.
Believing that by cleansing the blood and
building np the constitution was the only,
true war of banishing tlUease and l.eiuir
trouble! wlLl, wmkriAsji of tha 1 1 it
etarrb, Tery much broken down in con
stitution, ac and after trying .he best pby
tteiaas and paying out ray money tor wuuy
klnda of modlclnea advertised w i thou t ilml
ing a permanent cure, 1 began dtx-loriug
Dsyseu, using medicines made from roota
and herlw. 1 lurtunatcly discovered a
woadertal Bitters or Blood Cleanser, tho
Drat bottle of which gave ma new lL'e and
rigor, and In tlmo etl'ected a pt-rmauent
cure. 1 waa free from catarrh, uiy luns
became strong aud bound, beiug 'able to
stand tbe most severe cold aud e.M.ure.
aad I have gained over tulrtv ioauds lu
weight. FeeUnx confident Unit I had madtj
a wonderful discovery in meUU-lue; l i rv
pared a quantity of the Hoot Itinera, jind
il?.11 habit of giving theui tlway to
sick friends and neighbors, 1 found tha
medicine effected the most wondoritil cures
of all diseases caused from liumors or M-ro-fula
In the blood. Imprudence, lid
Btomach. "Weakness, Kidney Llseae. Tor-
Sia urver, c, e. 1 ne news 01 my discovery
tavlaway spread from one person to an
other until I round myseli culled uh.ui t--apply
patients with medicine far and wld
ana 1 was Induced to establish a laboratorv
for compounding and bottliug tho Kovt
Bitters in large quantities, and I uow de
vote h11 my time U) this busluoss. '
I was at first backward-in presenting
either myself or discovery in this way t
the public, not being a patent modicino
man and with small capital, nut 1 mhi get
ting bravely over that, tsiuce 1 lir.-l ad
vertised this medicine I have tcen ciowde l
with ordera from druggists and country
dealers, and the hundreds of letters I nnvo
received from persons cured, prove tbe fact
that no remedy ever did so much pood iu
so short a time and had so much t-m ot ss as
the Boot Bitten. In fact. I am convinced
that they will soon take the lead ol all other
utwiuucB iu uvtt. enrijr ono iittiiiireit
retail drugglsta. right here at home in
Cleveland, now sell Root lUtterv, Mme f
whom havo already sold over oue UiouVami
bolUea.
ltoot Bitters are strictly aminlicluul pre
paration, such as was used in the ko-kI old
days of our forefathers, when people weri
cured by some simple rout or plant, "and
When calomel and other poisons of thvt
mineral kingdom were unknown.
They act strongly ou the liver und kid
neys, keep the bowels regular aud l.ull.l
up the nervous saystem. They penetratu
every part of tbe iKKly, searchlug out every
nerve, oono and tissue front tho head to 1 1 hi
feet cleansing and btreugthctilnt; tlm
(On tain springs of Lite, henc they must
reach all dlseasts by puritlcatiou una
nourishment.
Mo matter what your feeling or symp
tom are, what the disease or uiliin iiu .Is,
aaa Root Hitters. iKm't wait until you
are sick, but If you only let-l hud or miser
able, use tha Bitters at oucv. it may .i
your life.
Thousands of persons tu all parts of tl.o
country are already using koot hittkj;.
They have saved many lives of consump
tive who had been given up ly friends ami
physicians to die. and havo pcrmauent it
cured many old chronio cases of I'atarn'i
Hcrofula, Ulieumatlsm, iysH-pla, ami skin
Diseases. Where all other treatments hal
failed.. Are you troubled with sick head
ache, costlveness, dir.zlness, weakness, bad
taste in tlte mouth, nervousness, imt
