ELIZABETH CITY, April 29,1898.
War seems to have gone off a
Tifilf.rorlc in advance of the
declaration.
Spain is doubtless con inced
by this time that "autonomy" in
Cuba is a failure.
Uncle Sain does not fancy the
double barreled substitute Spain
has left in charge of her affairs
at Washington Frauae and
Austria.
Americans will breath easier
when they know that the bat
tleship Oregon and gunbea
Marietta are safe and the Span
ish torpedo boat Temerario foil
ed. Uncle Sam will be able to go
Out of the market as a buyer of
transports if the Spanish fieighu
ers continue to cruise around
the American fleet.
A coal mine would be a boon
to Spain at this juncture. She
would rather have the Pocahon
tas section at her back door
than have a mortgage on the
Klondike.
Germany's action in deciding
not to declare herself a neutral
Power as between Spain and the
United States looks somewhat
significant. It leaves her open to
intervene in behalf of the former
ifWillian II. so desires.
President M cKinley has
shown wisdom, in some instances
at least, in not permitting parts
isan interests to deprive him of
capable assistants in the conduct
of his Administration. The
retention of a Democrat Gener
1 LEE as Consul General in
Cuba and the selection yesterday
of a Democrat Mr. Moore, of
New York as the First Assist
ant Secretary of State are in
stances of this wisdom.
WILL YOU GO?
Some of the extreme antK
Southern papers have been
throwing slurs upon Southern
manhood during the past three
weeks. "The South," tl.ey de
clare, is afraid to fight. Pi heart
is not with the Union." A bas
er calumny was never rttered!
With Fitz Lee at the h.-.id of a
division, we feel thattheie is no
North and no South only a
great big Union. New York is
the first state to report that her
completement of men is lull
Will North Carolina not be the
next? The Adjutant General
asks for 87 men from Pasquo,
tank, Camden, and Currituck
eounties; the enlistment roll is
open at Wads worth's Drug
Store on Road Street. Will
there be any trouble in securing
them? Wc do not believe there
will be. There is a cowardly
spirit and we are sorry to note
it among some few of our peo
ple, who declare that others may
fight this war, they are afraid of
Yellow Fever. Consul General
Lee declares that there is no
more danger in Cuba than at
home if a man is moderately
careful That excuve bing re
moved, what other have they ?
Besides, the troops will probably
encamp at Wrightsville for two
months before they see the en
emy, if they ever do. The cam-
pain is likely to be a blockade
of Cuba, starving out the Span
ish soldiers.
We should count it a privi
lege and an honor that we are
allowed to furnish one of the
thirty companies of North Caro
lina Volunteers. Old Confed
erate soldiers are saying that
the young spiril is not like it
was 'before the war,' because
four companies have refused to
ofier their services anywhere the
Goveanment may need troops.
We must paove this untrue.
The soldiers will receive
good food and shelter, and mod
erate pay; but that is not why
they will fight. This war is for
the sake of humanity starving
at our very doors; it is to re
venge the brave boys of the
Maine who were hurried to a
horrible death by treachery; it is
to humble a nation that has long
and often treated us with con
tempt and disdain. Can men
unencumbered with families
hold themselves back? Not if
Southern blood flows in their
veins!
Enlistment naoers are at

To Editor.
Die a k Sir : On Wednesday morn
iu;jat S o clock Mr. J. A. Spencer ue
p n te J tins J we aftei a lon and con
tiunous sickness ; he leaves to mourn
his loss a larye famil-, may they live
as him who has now past away.
Mr. Spencer was a man who without
one doubt faithfully discharged his
daily duty as one . itli his ability could
Ie was a man who held a public of
fice irom early manhood until a lew
mouths prior to his death. There he-
dealt out Justice to eacli and all alike
truly from the laws of our State and
he was never known to no an unjust
act. if he did he knew it not.
As a friend and a helper, to all
around him he will remain in the mem
ory as time fleets along leading a va
cancy that we know not when it will be
filled agan, none can do better, some
one may do as well but the past life ol
Mr. Spencer, wiK still linger anion
his fellow men.
Masonry and Odd Fellow orders wil
remember how faithfull he has been
with them. Honorable and nobilit-
belongs co him. Christianity was In
and has been for a number of vears.
As we stood around his bed-,;ide on
his departing morn. We could see
his time here on earth was not much
longer, how happy it must be to die a
true Christian loved by all on earth
and to join those that earlier has pass
ed over the riv er to join those that have
gone before ; how solemn it makes the
earthly home but one consolation to
meet again in heaven where 110 death
ever comes only peace forever.
Rev. Dr. Overby, preached his funer
al at his late home Friday morning at
10 o'clock, the Odd Fellows and Ma
sons faithfully discharging their duty
at the grave.
May the Blessed Comforter visit the
home of the: bereaved family restore it
upon them all his sous, his daughters
pattern after him and their living
mother. His age was 74 years and 3
months.
Yours truly,
G. I-. O.
Died at the house of David J.
Smithson, the 14th inst, near
Perea Church, at the good old
age ot 72 years. Sister Jen
nings, one of the oldest
members of Perea Church. She
was a consistent christian, and
had follow the master for many
years and now is at rest with
Him we believe. For the Sav
iour said: "lie that cometh?
unto me I will in nowise cast
out, but where I am there shall
my servant be also ;" therefore
we sorrow not as others who
have no hope. For we hope to
meet our sister again in that
Brighter Home a'bove, where
God and the angels dwell. We
bow humbly and say Thy will
be done, the Lord doeth all
things well. May the comfort
ing care of God be with the sor
rowing ones, The burial ser
vice was rendered at the grave
amid sorrowing children and
relatives, by her pastor. We
can well say with the poet :
"Servant of God, well dour,
Rest frcjji thy loved employ,
The battle through, the victory won,
Enter the Master's joy."
