NORTH CAROLINIANS AT APPOMATTOX.
The Wilmington Messenger
makes the assertion on the authori
ty of the "Confederate arcnives"
that 5,022, or more than half of
the whole number of Confederate
soldiers who surrendered at Ap
pomattox, were North Carolinians.
It adds: "Wo Jbink it probable
that the comment made is errone
ous; that the regiments, etc., that
surrendered had once contained
100,000 men or over. North Caro
lina had some sixty-five regiments
of infantry, besides artillery and
battalions of infantry, and it never
furnished more than 125,000 men.
The Roster calls for over 130,000,
but, as is well known, a great
many names are duplicated. But
the State had realy between 124,
000 and 126,000, and after losing
mdre than any other State, as the
records show, it surrendered more
at Appomattox." i
The Old North State has a proud
.record in the history of the Con.
federacy. Nobly did she give her
treasures of mjn and money, and
splendidly was the bravery of-her
sous exhibited oh the many bat
tlefields of the contest. In propo
tioh to tier military population
she stands at the head of the list
of Southern states, in supplying
her quota of soldiery to the Lost
Cause.- Norfolk Virginian.
OBITUARY.
Died in Woodville, N.C., Feb
6th, 1895, Mr. James W. Mullen
one of our oldest and most highly
respected citizens. His summons
in his 70th your. His death was
sudden, heart failure being the
cause.
Mr. Mullau, or "Uncle Jim" as
he was more familiarly and affect
ionately known to his friends, was
a lingering relict of the genial,
affable, old time gentleman, and
possessed all the characteristics of
that lovable geinus. He delighted
at all times to. dispense those
"small, sweet courtesies of life,"
which caused him to be held in
highest esteem by all who came
within the circle of his acquaint
ance. . He was always the earnest
advocate of that which was right,
honorable, and true, and seemed
to keep ever before him, as the
controlling precept of his life, the
divine injunction, "Do justice,
love mercy, and walk humbly be
fore God." His sympathies were
broad and deep, and embraced
everything ani.xate; aud, if there
was one dominant trait of his well
rounded character which was more
prominent than his inflexible in
tegrity, it was ; that generous,
humanitarian sentiment which
made him love to perform kindly
offices for others. He was the
special friend and patron of the
poor, and he will long be remem
bered by grateful hearts, for his
benefactions. - 1
Mr. Mdllen wasalways a promi
nent, representative man, in hie
community, and wielded that in
fluence which a good man always
does. For raany years of his life
he officiated as a Justice of the
Peace, at the time when that office
carried honor with it, and was a
body of high character and intel-
igence. His Magisterial opinions
were sq sound, equitable, and sat-
sfactory. that there was seldom
any appeal taken from his de
cisions. In his church, too, he was
a central figure, and lived every
day, in his quiet modest way, a
sermon that was more forceful and
effective in its influence and power
or good than fervid oratory.
In the, late civil strife "Uncle
Jim," like a true patriot, followed
the lortunes i of his native State J
and did good and valiant service
in her behalf on the tented field.
His mere presence was an inspira
tion to "the boys in the trenches."
It was always a source of great
pride and pleasure to him, that he
wore the gray, and battled for the
"lost cause," a cause that was ever
dear and sacred to his heart.
In politics,, as in religion, Mr.
Mullanwas true and honest. He
was a Democrat of the Allen G.
Thurman type. His political
watchword was "Equal rights to
all,, special privileges to none."
His death falls with the force of
a personal bereavement upon every
member of this community, for
wo all loved him dearly.
. Farewell, old friend 1 Swet?! l
your rest ! We know that when
your kindly spirit left its tene
ment of clay, and winged Us
flight to the realms of glory and
light eternal, that the Master wel
comed you at the heavenly portals
with that gladsome plaudit. ''Well
done, thou good and faithful ser
vant! Enter into the joy of thy
Lord."

PROTECTION AGAINST PNEU
MONIA. v
An English physician calls at
tention to a means of keeping
pneumonia, colds, chills, and all
the ailments that cold weather
brings on, at a distance. Deep
and forced respirations, he says,
will keep the entire body in a glow
in the coldest weather, no matter
how thinly one may be clad. He
was himself half frozen to death
one nigh(, and began taking deep
creams and keeping the air in his
4 -
ungs as Jong as possible. The
result was that he was thoroughly
comfortable in a few minutes.
