VOL III CHADBOURN, COLUMBUS COUNTY,N. C., THURSDAY, July 15TIL 1886 No28. : ONE YEAR,$1.69 SEVEN MONTHS, $1 THREE MONTHS, We .are not in favor of retaining the present Supreme Court. Geu. Gordon will be the next Governor of Georgia. Gladstone bas failed in his Irish home ride Campaign. Poor Ireland she seems destine to ever be in bondage! Her day is coming. Panl. II. Hayne, the Southern ^et is lying o i a death bed near Au gusta with no hope of living only a lew days, if that long. He has died since the above. Judge A. O. Avery of this State has been suffering somewhat from a sore on his lower lip. He hud it ent out one day last week in Charlotte by Dra. Graham and Jones. It was not regarded as serious but It was thought best to be in time. The Concord Times says “New Hanover, Brunswick and Bladen Counties have instructed for Sted man,” why Bladen is in the 3d district. Surelv the “old 3d” dont propose to nominate Stedman ? Are you not mistaken Bro. Times 1 ! Rev. Dr. J. T. Bagwell, one of the brightest lights in the .Methodist church of the State^ and who was pastor of the church at Winston, was found guilty of being too inti mate with one, Mrs. Wall in Win ston, His case was investigated by a Committee auA he was suspended from the church. Humanity! How frail! Great efforts were made to induce the Commissions! sof Wake county to grant licc-use to retail wine, and beer in Raleigh on the ground that wine and beer are not “Spuitous liquors” as called for in the Local option act. The Commissioners were firm and granted no license. B o h sides we e Consented by able, attorneys. The C.mgru>siim >1 C indi bates in the third district are Col. WJ.Green, Hon W.T. Dortch, C.WAIcCUmmv pud Dan.Hugh McLean. Hillier Col. Green or Dortch will get it unless dark horse ism shall have something 'to do with it. The House of Representatives in Washington voted the other day to give al! its employers one month of extra wages, which will take 680.000. This is an outrage. The tax payers have this to pay and hard enough some have to work to do it. We are opposed toanysuch extra vega nee, it is neither demo cratic nor right. Richmond county has* instructed her delegates to vote for J. C. Legrand for Congress and Frank McNeill y for Solicitor for this district. We arc not per sonally acquainted with Mr. Le grand but we know Mr. McNeill well and we know of no man who is better fitted to fill the position of Solicitor. J/r. McNeill is an able lawyer, a sincere unassuming gen tleman. When his parry needed his services he was always found ready and willing. In saying this we do not wish to be understood as inti mating any thing whatever against Mr. C. C. Lyon, for we look upon JIr. Lyon as a gentleman highly fitted for the position and there is no man who has done more for the democratic party in his section than has Mr. Lyon. When bis county needed his services he left all and did valiant work for the democratic party. It is such men as these—men who have fought in every Campaign—men who never shirked when the. party needed them and especially men who have never been repaid by any position, that we should have. er standpoint of law and reason. Just here we wish to say, there is a mistaken idea insomecountieabout members of the legal fraternity rep resenting them in the legislature. We think a man possessed of legal knowledge is capable of doing more for his country in many cases, in the law-making body, than one without it. Take the average citi zen, who is too busy in life for such reading and study—it not being his business, and what does he know about the principles involved in the formation ofa law ? What does he know about drawing a bill that will be effectual ? How does he know how to discuss and give light on certain laws which might be neces sary for him to pass for the benefit of his county ? They gradually find out what (hey do know from the disccussiou about the legislature, from the lawyers there and else- wher. Wo notice too that those counties who send men of thought, energy and learning,especially legal, stand much higher,and have a much better reputation in the State at large and have been more success ful in getting what they desire, than when it is otherwise the case. For these reasons, other things being suitable, wo hope the legal profes sion as wall as live go-head men of business and farmers will receive due consideration in the coming election. No man who is void of good mor als should be allowed to represedt such a county as ours in the legis lature. No man who is a drunkard, and whose habits arc not sober, should be allowed to disgrace this or ony other county. A man void of enterprise and push would not do much for any coun ty, and the people should not en courage lazyness or indolence by sending such a one. Whal. we need, is to get men who will represent every commendable William Juamb, then commanding at Fort Fisher, who delivered them to an administrator appointed by the court charge of Among were man. About Our Next Legislators. The time has arrived when the people should begin to think who are the proper personsto serve them as officers and representatives. We are speaking now of county matters, and it is a matter of the greatest importance. We wish to say a word in regard to selecting r^presutativos to our Legislature. It is of the highest importance that we send men of in telligence, of good morals, of sober habits to represent us in our Legis lature. How can a man who is not possessed of intelligence, vote know- ugly of what he is doing, muchless &W U bill or discuss it fruui a prop- at Wilmington to take the unfortunate lady’s Mrs. Greenhow’s effects v dresses, laces and ar- rphe Board of Commissioners will meet on Monday the 12th day of July for the purposeof revising the tax list. All persons who feel aggrieved at the valuation fixed up on their real estate and intend to apply for a reduction, should do so at that time. J. W. Dickson, Bd. Com our county, keep her marching on ward and upward till sheshall gain a reputation second to none in the State of North Carolina. We dont wish to be understood as intimating that that there are not good farmers and business men who have made and will make the very best of representatives, but we wish to protest against the prejudiced idea,that a lawyer should not be sent to the legislature. Mrs. GREENHOW AGAIN. As there was a good deal written in this paper concerning the famous confederate Messinger and perhaps the whole matter was not as clear as itsbohld be, we have been keep ing an eye on our exchanges ever since for something more definite. We have the pleasure of copying the following from the Philadelphia Times of a late issue which makes the matter plain. “Mrs. Greenhow, as her name is spelled in all the records here, was a passenger on the British steamer Condor, a blockade runner, then playing between the ports of the Bahamas and the Confederate At lantic ports, which on the night of Friday, September 30 1864, ran a- ground off fort Fisher, North Caro lina, in attempting to enter the Cape Fear river at New Inlet (now closed), about twenty miles below Wilmington, N-C. Mrs. Greenhow,a fearing capture, and being rhe- bearer, as was then said, of impor t i tant dispatches for the Confederated I government, insisted, despite the ] , remonstrances of the captain of the | ship, upon going ashore in a boat. I In the breakers, which were rolling I heavily, the boat was capsized and | Mrs. Greenhow, who seems to have,J been in some way entangled in it' was drowned. Her body was rej covered, was brought to Fort Fish's er, properly cared for ard was sent’ to Wilmington for interment. She was buried in Oakdale Cometary, a beautiful spot, where her remains I still lie, and her grave was an ob i ject of tender care to the ladies of the Wilmington Soldiers’ Aid Soci ety during the existence of that association. Around Mrs, Greenhow’s person was found a money-beta containing a hundred English sovereigns, the weight of which may have had to do with her death. And this belt lor satchel, together with her trunks, which werp also recovered, ' were taken possession of by Col. tides of wearing apparel, all of which were sold at public auction by her administrator by order of court. The articles were handsome —many of them costly—and, as al( such things were extremely scarce and in great demand in the Con federacy, their sale attracted great attention. The sale was held in Raleigh, and the interest evinced in it and the excitement it created can be fully understood only by la dies whom a stringent blockade had for four years cut off noronly from the “latest styles” and articles of elegance, but from many things of ordinary comfort and necessity. The salesrooms were thronged for days before the sale by persons eager to examine the coveted treas ures. Orders and limits were the re from nearly every place of conse quence in the South. At the sale the bidding was active and spirited, many ladies—as it is said is often done by their sex—having raised their own bids sex era! times. The impression that Mrs. Green- how’s extreme anxiety to escape the dangerous landing from the strand ed ship was caused from the fact that she had in her possession valuable papers and information for the Confederate government — which it was important that she should deliver in person—was prob ably correct, for as soon as it. was ascertained that she had been drowned, the following telegram was sent to the ■Confederate au thorities at Richmond: I )y virtcue of a decree of the Superior court ^ of Columbus county, made at January term 1886, in a certain civil action pending Be wis & Schulken, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, WHITEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
