What lotli, Northern and South ern IV pers say. He was a man of command ing ability, F-'potlcss intcHj, controlling conscience and a temper so resolute that at times it approached obstinacy. -X. Y. Herald, Dem. All will agree that he was a brave and kindly gentleman, a gracious host, a knight without reproach in the gentle chivalries of home and private life. Washington Post, Liberal Pep. It follows that he was one of the ablest men of Ids time, for it was by no stroke of chance that he was chosen to guide a masterful race through a strug gle for national existence, lie was selected because he was be lieved by good judges, and with practical unanimity, to be their best equipped representative and strongest man. N.Y. Even ing Post, Ind. Mr. Davis was one of the most conscientious of our public men. He was not brilliant, but he was able, painstaking and earnest in everything. History will say that Jefferson Davis was honest in faith, ex pression and effort alike at Montgomery when he was crowned amidst the smiles and roses of the sunny South; in the prison cell when hope and triends seemed to have perish ed, and in the hour when the long halt was called that sum moned him to the dreamless couch of the dead. Phil.Tiines. Ind. Adversity is the test of man hood, and the distinguishing trait of Jefferson Davis was his manhood. He was a man a man in sterling integrity, in in domitable courage, in self-reliance and self-poise, alike in victory and defeat, success and failure. He was a true man, for he never failed to meet and justify every trust reposed upon him. He was a great man in the highest prosperity or in the depths of adversity in his vir tues he was great and even in bis faults there was no little ness. N. C. Presbyterian. He was the idol of Southern hearts. He was cast in an he roic mould and Southern men and women love above all else a hero. With unbending1 cour age he united a dignity and an uprightness of character which even his enemies cannot deny mm ; las sincerity was beyond question ; the rich fruitage of his intellect is among the treas ures of the race. He had auff ered for his people and for his sufferings was held in the ten derest affection. This devotion has been softened and strength ened as the years have passed and his infirmities increased. Statesville Landmark. In Mr. Davis were united spotless integrity, unusual can dor, and frankness and sinceri ty; high intelligence, brilliant ratory, a ma.-;Uvful command in debate; quick perception and ft rare hower of decision, pro-nc-anced views and an earnest adherence to hi.-, conviction of right; a brave spirit, a noble courage; while he was tender and gentle and kind a knight ly and chivalrous Christian gen tleman. He had in excess many qualities -any one of which is accounted a basis of greatness. In Ids private life he was irre proacliable, in resolution and fortitude he was unexcelled; in honor and scrupulous exactness, unsurpassed. Such a character deserves as j t receives the homage of man kind, and his people torn to him as an exemide for the youths of the land. Ral. Sews fc Observer. The Wilmington Star had an able and excellent editorial on Jefferson Davis, part of which we intended to reproduce, but by some means it has been mis laid. Editor. Jefferson Davis had his faults and made mistakes for he was mortal and fallible. Put a tru er heart never beat in a human breast, nor a nobler pirit never left a crumbling tenement of clay. He was true to God. true to his country, true to the cause of civil and religious liberty, true to great fundamental prin cipals of a government of the people,, for the people and by the people, and lastly ever true to to himself. So it was always impossible that he should bo false to any. His aims were high, and his life was so pure and goon and gracious and hon orable and sincere that he could stand the scrutiny of the world and bear the light of a thousand dynamos. He -was an orator, a states man, a writer of masterly pow er, a soldier, a patriot, a chris tian. He lived in the hope of Heaven and died a firm, humble believer in the dear Son of God. Wilmington Messenger. Jefferson Davis never failed in hi? entire life to be true to his convictions and to his duty as he saw it. . became one of tlte military Jols of the Union. As a planter and slave owner, he ranked with the most successful and humane of the noble army of Southern farmers and slave owners who have been much traduced ig norantly in most instances we are glad to believe. As a leader in the great Democratic party, which has in it the germ of everlasting life, he was wise in counsel and fearless in action. As an orator, he was the peer of any man of his day. As a de bater, lie enjoyed the distinc tion of being the best in the U. S. Senate and of being the only man who ever worsted Benton in debate. Asa statesman, he was able, well furnished, patri otic and devoted to his ideals of chat was best for the country. As Secretary of War he was the superior of any man who pre ceded or succeeded him. Such is the summing up of the career of Jefferson Davis until the day when he became President of the Confederacy. If he had died before the memorable struggle, sucn would nave been ins epi taph, written by both Northern and Southern pens. S t a t e Chronicle. Grover Cleveland and Henry W. Urady, the silver-tongued orator of the South, were the centres of attraction last Thurs day night before tlie Merchant's Association of Boston. Mr.Cl eve- land made, as usual, a telling mg speecli, an eloquent appeal lor iaiionai reiorm ana one that was well received by his hearers. Of Mr. Grady's speech, on the race problem, the New York World has the following to say : "Henry W. Grady has the ingpi rotion of eloquence. Last night he addressed the Merchant's Associa tion of Boston, and his speech will doubtless ring as the other to the honest mind and heart. "It the race question were not partisan it would not exist. It lives because Republican politicians find their profit in its agitation. Mr. Grady's apjeal is to the patriotism of the country. He frankly recog nizes the ills which have followed the enfranchisement of the negro : he admits that the whites will never permit white supremacy. "Such a peech as that of Mr. Grady must do good, because the conscience and intelligence of the North are with him. The majority oi nortnern men are not deceived by appeals to passion. The South asks for a patient waiting until she can work out the problem which the country has imposed upon her. Fed eral interference in behalf of negro supremacy must keep the South solid and the races politically divided. The true union between the sections and the natural division, between the parties will come with the adop tion of the patriotic view of Mr. Grady, and the rejection of the sor did and traitorous policy of needy partisans, whose greed of power is not deterred by the good of the country." - ; i 1 i l ' THE TWO GOVERNORS. WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA SAID TO THE NORTH CAROLINA PEOPLE. How "Our Fitz" was Received Clinton Governor Fowle Makes a Nomi nation. at From the Richmond, Virginia, Dixpatch. Clinton, N. C, December 5. To-day will be marked with a white stcne in the annals of Sampson comity, for the Gover nors oi Virginia and North Car olina met here at the Clinton Fair. jrovernor j.ee arrived very early this morning, accompani ed by Brigadier-General Charles J.Anderson Colonel B. O.James, Colonel C. O'B. Cowardin, and Major W. M. Cary. Governor Fowle arrived last night, accompanied by Colonel Francis II. Cameron, Colonel Frederick A. Olds, Colonel Al ston Grimes, Captain W. B. Grimes, his daughters, Mrs. D. B. Avera and Miss Helen Fowle, and Miss Eliza Skinner. A llECEPTIOX. This morning Governor Fowle and staff called on Governor Lee and staff and escorted them to a hotel, where a reception was held, and Governor Lee was given a greeting which showed him he was as much at home in North Carolina as in Virginia. A noon a procession escorted Hie two Governors! to the Fair Grounds. The procession was composed of the marshals and officers of thn fair, a band,Com panies C. and F. of the Second regiment, commanded by Cap tain v. L. taison, and ex-Confederate veterans bearins a bat tle-flag which was brought from ppomattox. On the arrival of the grounds a large audience greeted the Governors with hearty cheer3 and salutations. H. K. iv.Biju, presiaiii- ui me Fair Association, introduced Governor Fowle. who in a grace ful spoech bade Governor Lee welcome. Governor 1 owle said that North Carolinians love next to their own State Virginia, and that whenever North Caro linians desire sympathy and support they always turn to Virginia. He alluded to Gover nor Lee's ancestry and heroism, and said ha was a soldier,states man, and patriot whom all peo ple of Nortli Carolina delight to honor. THREE CHEERS. Three cheers were then given for Governor Lee, who came forward and made the speech ot' the day. It was a very happy and forceful effort of nearly one hour's length, mainly addressed to the veterans, who were pres ent in large numbers and were deeply-interested listeners. He expressed his pleasure in greet ing an audience of people of the good Old North State, and said lie was here to show the great love the old mother Com monwealth has for her sister State, the peopk of both being sympathetic, homogeneous, and with the same aspirations and same destiny and bound togeth er by such ties as make a divid ingline purely imaginary. PERSONAL SYMPATHY. He alluded to his having married a relative of Governor Fowle and of the close personal similarity of the two Governors, He then went on to eulogize the valor and virtue and love of liberty which characterize North Carolinians, and said in war and in peace these were il lustrated. He declared the people of this State were right when they declined to ratify the Federal Constitution until proper safeguards to secure the rights of States had been se cured. The people should con trol the Government and not the Government the people. As soon as ever it is admitted that a great central government is snpreme the first foothold on liberty is lost. SECESSION. He spoke of the right of se cession which existed in 1861, and said most forcibly that a man who terms those who fought on the southern side trai tors is not familiar with the Constitution, with history, or the rights of the States. GETTYSBURG. ; He paid a high compliment to the North Carolina soldiers D. Hi Hill, Pender, Ramseur, Anderson, Gordon, and Petti grew, whom he knew and who had no superiors, and said that at Gettysburg the North Caro linians went as far as the far thest in that world-famous charge. In conclusion, he urged his audience to always crry ut their obligations to their great country, now again so happily united, and promote the honor and glory and prosperity of this grand republic. He felt sure that if our conn try called for the services of North Carolinians the latter would show tiat high courage which always distinguished them. - APPLAUSE. The Governor's speech was punctuated with applause, and Miss Helen Fowle, daughter of the Governor,gave him a suterb boquet when he closed. There were calls for Gover nor Fowle, to which the latter responded in a brief "speech, thanking Governor Lee in the name of the whole people of North Carolina for his visit and his address, and in which he declared that the North Caro linians wanted a southern man on the next national ticket as Vice-President and wanted Fitzhugh Lee as that mm. North Carolina would show what she thinks of Virginia and Fitz Lee. Great applause. A RECEPTION. Governor Lee then held a re ception and shook hands with the veterans. He received a special invitation to visit Wil mington and at 3 o'clock this afternoon left for that city, where he was given a royal re ception this evening. He will leave there for Richmond at night. The people are delight ed at his visit and charmed with him and the officers who accompanied him. Governor Fowlo left for Ral eigh tljis evening. THIS 111 ESS ON Tl IK SAMPSON FAIK. Suntpson County Fair. New Berne Journal. It was our good fortune to at tend the Sampson County Fair held in Clinton, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The first day was spent, as is usual on such occasions, in the arrangemeut and displav of pix iiioi. xnv uiuiuiuon oi ag ricultural products was not ex tensive but of excellent quality, while that of poultry and live stock was far better than is usually seen at county fairs. It wouli have been strange if the ladies department had not ex celled all the others. Such ex quisite needle work, such beau tiful specimens or art and such delicious cake, bread and but ter, preserves, jellies and cor dials we have rarely seen. Much credit is due to all who contibu-. ted to this signal success, but the highest mead of praise is awarded to Mr. Marion Butler, the polite gentleman and ac complished editor of The Cau casian who was the efficient general manager. It had been announced that Gov. Fowle would speak on Wednesday,, but the Governor never neglects his public duties for a ny pleasure however tempt ing it may be. But there was only a posponement, for His Excellency arrived by special train at nine o'clock Wednesday night- The Wilmington Light Infantry, ac com pained by worthy i epresentaves of the beauty of "the city by the se;," had previously arrived, ani, with the Clinton Light Infan tty and a large concourse of citizens, were waiting at the de pot. The Governor was welcom ed with loud cheers,aud was then escorted to the Murphy Hcu-e where a reception was held. Sometime between midnight and day Governor Lee, of Vir ginia, arrived and received a grand ovation. Early Thursday moruing the military, preceeded by the Wil mington Light Infantry's Band, marchod to the Murphy House to escort the Governors of North Carolina and Virginia to the Fair grounds. A procession was formed led by mounted men. Then came the band fol lowed close by the military; next were the veterans keeping step to marshal strains -that thrilled their spirits long ago, and close upon their seried ranks rode Fowle and Lee, followed by staff officers dressed in brilli ant uniforms. Arriving on the Fair grounds the Governors re ceived another ovation, and then proceeded to the speakers stand. Mr. Faison gracefully intro ducen Gov. Fowle, who at once proceeded in hi3 introductory address. He spoke eloquently, and in : conclusion introduced "Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the greatest living soldier and the best Gov ernor Virginia ever had." Governor Lee arose mid thun ders of applause. - . , ", Here followed a review of Gov. Lee's great speech Ed. Continued on Second Page. For The Caucasfan.1 NOTMS AND KIirJLIXTJONK. IIarl Tim-. We hear of little else these days but hardtim.es. The merchant, the farmer, the me chanic, all agree thatthe times are hard, very hard. It is so often repeated, reiterated that it forces even the most skeptical to the conclusions into which the public mind seems to have settled down. And yet there are some things strangely at variance with this public clamor, and which seems partly to contradict this conclusion of the public mind. A laboring man can get 60 cents per day for his work. Let us say then that he makes this one day ; with this he can buy ton pounds of pork. He works another day, and with this he can buy a bushel of corn. Here, then, with two days work he has pro vision to support him comfor tably for a month, with three days work in the month he can clothe himself. Of the twenty six working days in the month, if he work five days, he makes himself independent of the world. Then, for tbe other tweuty-one days, he can live, if he chooses, the life ef an In dian chief. Or, if ho chooses to work these twenty-one days, he can support a family com fortably and save money be sides. This is not Utopian or visionary, but is in reach of any industrious, frugal man. Now, if life is so easy to every industrious man, it contradicts flatly the notion that the times are hard. Resides this, people are as extravagant as ever they were. A young lady the other dy showed me her new hat. It weighed four ounces. How much did it cost, said I. Just four dollars, she said. So our ladies wear hats that cost their weifht in silver and other parts f their dress correspond. Ladies could not dress in this style if the times were hard. And when a circus comes along there is money a plenty to iiy This year, they ay is the most unfavorable ever known for farming, and yet in Wayne coun ty one man made eighty-five barrels of corn on five acres of land just eighty-five bushels perasre. Why did he do this? The Agricultural Department offered a premium for the best corn farm. He worked wisely and made the corn and the pre mium. Now nature offers a premium every year, and those who work for it get it. But it is never taken by those farmers w ho spend half their time loaf ing in the villages, keeping up the public sentiment in favor of hard times. There is hardness somewhere; but it is not in the times nor the reasons, but in the people. In them there must be changft, must be reform; or we will go down to the deepest depths of pove- ty. We will soon be too poor to buy ink enough to dot our i's and cross our t's. Some things our people must learn or there is no redemption for us. We are doomed. Among these the following are of first im portance ; J fit. Stop spending other men's money. If you owe your neigh bow twenty dollars and have ten dollars in your pocket, that money is not yours, but his, and you cannot spend it without his consent. Remember that the vice closest km to debt. is lying, for lying ' rides on debt's back " 2nd. Spending more money than you make. He who makes ninety-nine cents and spends a dollar will surely come to want "The Indies did cot make Spain rich because her outgoes were gi eater than her incomes." 3rd. Stop spending money be fore you make it. Many do this, then sit down and hope for bet ter times. Remember that "he who live? on hope dies fasting," and that "it is dilligence that gives good luck," and that ''God helps them that help them selves,'J and to-day is worth two to-morrows." 4th. Take heed to the follow ing Wise sayings: "Do not squan der time, for time is the stuff that life is made of." "The sleeping fox catches no poultry." "At the working man's house hunger looks in, but does not enter." Handle your tools with out mittens; the cat in glove3 catches no mice." ''A little neglect .breads great mischief. In the want of a nail the shoe was lost; and for the want of the shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of the horse the vil lage was lost." ' K you would be wealthy, think of saving, &s well as getting. A fat kitchen makes a lean will." "What maiutains one vice will bring up two children." "If you want .Continued on Second Page.

Do they ma ke a living by buying up cot ton and holding it for a rise? Yes, they make millions by it. They make it by gambling on our hard earned products. How? The following extract from the National Economist partly ex plains it : The spinner does not generally buy till he needs the cotton to spin. If the speculator can make money scarce, and Here by reduce prices and compel the farmer to sell at once, he will gain the difference between such price and what he can :un it up to by the time the spinner need3 it.
