THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER: , TUESDAY, FEBRUARY J, 1893 SUE BEST WAY OUT OF A DIFFI CULTY. Thene 5s no denying that In Nartfli Carolina as in every southern gfcalte there are many good citizens among: ibe colored people. However much tt its to be regretted that they nave voted .- mi wisely, and often Ifhorantly and - against tbeik- own "best Interests, and tine interests of . the state and of the a3ramuities in which, ftlhey live, tt can. not be questioned that many of them bave availed themselves of the op portunities offered umdler freedom for fcboir personal betterment, and have developed Into responsible and merito rfnus citizens well behaved, self-re--epeoting, moral and industrious. All over our southland yoru -will And mK'li men by the hundreds and -thousands. While giving the suffrage to the ne groes was a -great risk and, a great mistake, It is not to 'be gamiaaDd that maaiy of the electors are in'tell!igenlt enough to exercfi3e their eleclxarship with discretion and judgment, and but fbr old xrejudices and bad leadershJlp all along- since 1865, the part referred . to would .have voted for honest, up itu'ht, trustworthy man for office in stEsakl of for the political tricksters and fcmaigogues who have brought vo much calamity and sorrow u'pon the state. There 13 no doubt that bad example, vicious persuasion, constant appeals too race prejudice 'have caused the south ern "colored population' to vote un wisely and often against the best in terests of all. We saw a commundca- . tion in the Atlanta Constitution some . weeks ago, in -Which the writer, Rufus P. Bullock, commented upon the flatter la.y conversion of Mr. WilLiam H. Tborne editor of the New York Gidbe ISeviiew ;who admitted his belilef In uhe negroes for tihilrly years, but after dome visits to .the south Changed !h!is opfrijota . altogether, and gave it as his convic tion '.that tlhe south would be simply compelled to get rid of fflha negro In Botme way 'to re-iinslave, kill or ex port the bulk" of the race. Very harsh, as the Messenger 'has characterized it. It ks because of the good wlill of the southern whites that no great severi ties have been practiced amd the n'e Bmoes 'have their nights and privileges eo generally recognized and preserved . to them. Mr. Bullock replying to the ' Thorn e view has this among- other things: "We of the south accepted ithe recon struction policy , of a republican con gress as a dhdiee of evils. We (believed it was better for us 'to have civil state Cover rments, even -With negro suffralge, tohan 'ndeflnite feorl nvlluir-y control. Not if 1k: s since occurred to raise a . question of the Wisdom of our choice. The "insufferable self assertion of the Tuegroes Since the day of thelir emancti patlton of which Mr. Thloime complains, was without exception the result cJf ' wutsil'de prcept and example of those wQao awpted Mr. Tlhorne's etairlter theories, and 'it 1s not at all li'rmproibable that thbie (politicians 'Who forced the - franchise upon the megro are now la menting tlheir folly." .We dio not know what the writer's politics are, but he Is net -wrong in Ms statement that bad outside exam ples as well as precepts had much to dio Mn giving the set to 'the nlegro'3 opin ions arid acitii'ons and expectations. " The negroes will always be well treat ed sio longr as they are good, law abid ing citizens. The Thome policy or theory Will never become popular in uhe south. Educate and uplift 'the ne gro urtfl.l he grows up to 'the tru3 realiz ation of what contstultes a capable ltector and what principles enter into the makeup of honest, faithful and usjefi'l Citizenship. t After years of untold suffering from piles. B. W. Pursell of Knitnersville. pa., was cured by using a single box . of DeWitt's Witoh Hazel Salve. Skin diseases such as eczema, rash, pimples and- obtinate sore are readily cured by this famous remedy. -PROFITS?. LOSS AND PROSPECTS. Bradstreet's puts the losses of (New nhgland cotton 'mills for 1897, by rea son of southern competition at nearly $600,000. If -gives in detail the mals, capital, and dividend's for two years. The capital was $22,993,000; the divi dends' for 1896, l;36S,S73, and for 1897, $776,300. This is really a poor showtag, tut thii rich imfl'l owners can "bear It. It 13 net surprising that there is un- cort nos and lamentation in the flcli TCn eland section. The loudest lamentation, however, and the greatest tmcriniss, ar to be found among the '"rv.) f--n!k,iv:s. who are out dn the co?d. Without any work to do not an hour's work in a week. The list of xiills that Bradstreet reports embraces rhir-ty-nine only, but they are among the largest, doubtless. The south may not be able to make big dividends in 1898, nrrd its profits last year may have been exceptionally small and unsatisfactory, but the profits were no doubt as large or larger on capital invested than the profits of the New England thirty- rrfne. The south hopes foi the best, It is quite certain that it will continue to build factories, for more factories are needed. The advantages are altogeth er with the south over New England, .and the cotton fields are here and w-Il oontinue here. New England can never srow the raw cotton, so the wise thing lor It -to do is to put much of Its sur plus money in this great cotton grow ing section, that may one day be as " great' a cotton milling section as New England tow lis. At present North Carolina consume about as much cotton as is grown In it -possibly a little more. It has ship ped much of Its cotton and had to buy from other states. It ought to manu facture its own cotton certainly until tJhte product of the field excels the pro duct of the mills. - We notice that the Atlanta chamber of commerce is taking steps to try enlarge the milling- operations of Georgia . lA circular letter states that more factories are needed, and that Georgia actually ships 800,000 bales an nually that are manufactured beyond the borders. It says: "Tho tremendous sum of 18,000,000 Is paid out in wages for the manufacture of this cotton. If thi3 pay-roll was made and paid in Georgia, our pro ducers and traders would get the ben efit of 90 per cent, of the amount more than $7,000,000 annually." When it 53 understood how great the enhancement of raw cotton is when manufactured fully 100 per cent., -we are tofd it will be seen how Important for a state to utilize at home, as far as practicable, the Taw cotton pro ductions its cotton, its fine timbers, etc Don't annoy others by your coughing, and risk your life by neglecting a cold. One Minute Cough Cure cures coughs, colds, croup, grippe and all throat and lung troubles. R. R. Bellamy. STILL AT THE OLD UNFAIRNESS. Th'e injustice d'one the south by northern "newspapers continues, but perhaps not to so aggravated an ex tent. Hoar, of Massachusetts, in the senate, could not forego the opportun ity of asserting the superiority of Ms sect km over the south in the morals of cotton manufacturing. In the esti mation of the saintly denizens of Bos ton the theology of that pious section is the best, the moral atmosphere the purest, the historic past the noblest and freest from all suggestion of taint, and a genferal consensus of opinion among the faithful that "We are the Lords." The introduction of African slavery by state slave ships, the bad treatment afterwards of the slaves torn from their homes, the witch 'burn ings and other much deviltry of those bad 'times, the blue light business in the war of 1812, the attempt of leaders to get up a secession movement about 1805-8, and other nice things that could be named, are all forgotten by the "superior people" When they criticise thk? south and perhaps rejoice in its trials and misfortunes. (Even in the matter of lynchings, the north cannot be exactly fair. The Springfield Republican is a decent and influential daily of Massachu setts, but it does mot publish correct statistics as to lynchings, and the same may be said of The New York Buffalo Express. Indiana 'is omitted from the list, as The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle states., It is well remembered that in 1897, one of the most diabolical and ferocious series of lynchings of record, were per petrated in Indiana. The "Chronicle reproduces the following, which was telegraphed over the country: " 'Five Lynched in Indiana." 'Wholesale Killing, by a Mob, of Five Men Suspected of (Numerous Robber - tes." The story sent out by telegraph starts off 'like this: "Osgood, Ind., September 15. In censed by numerous depredations, re peated burglaries, and daylight rob ber tea, the people of Ripley county, Ind., last night lynched five men who bad long been a terror to the citizens of tihe county. When the citizens of Versailles, the county seat, arose this morning they found the bodies Cf the Ave men dangling from as many limbs of an "elm tree 'in the centre of the pufoiic square. Their feet were tut a few inches from the ground, while their hands and feet had been securely tied with ropes." Tfrsse five victims of mob violence ha'd commiitted neither rapes nfor mur ders, but had robbed. The two papers omit Indiana, but give Georgia and other states a full hearing as to their lynchings. We mentioned some days ago that North Carolina Was charged with (four lynchings in 1S97, in- one northern paper, The Chicago Tribune, when there were not mors than two, and we think but one. T'recrld'etnt E. B. Andrews, of iBrown 'University CR- I.) t very popular in th)o south now because of his view in favor of bim'ettalism, and more par ticularly on account of his very gen erous and laudatory opinion of Genera' Robert E. Lee. Captain W. H. Har rison, a Georgian, writes the The At lanta Constitution, of a late date, rela tive to a sad disappointment he has met, with in purchasing a set of his tories by Dr. Andrews, thinking he would find in them fairness and truth. But he charges that the president of Drown has tampered with the truth by misrepresenting the official records of the late war. What Dr. Andrews would ay in extenuation or explana tion, we may not anticipate, but if be lhas misinterpreted or abus ed the records from design then there is no excuse, for he is a man of superior parts. The Chronicle- says that "Stonewall Jackson's great valley campaign is cut oil with a two line statement, and in one place after another, cited by Captain Harrison, the figures are garbled northern, forces being diminished, southern forces be- Are much in little; always ready, efficient, satisfac tory ; pre rent a cold or fever, sure all liver Ilia, nick head Rolls ache, jaundice, constipation, etc. Price 25 cents.

His Soldier Life ibe Subject of a Speech by Dr. Hunter McGuire at the Annual Banquet of the Con federate Veterans Camp, of New York. New York, January 22. Two hun dred white haired soldiers who fought for the confederate cause under Lee and Jackson, met tonight for the eighth time to toast the memory of their daad comrades and renew associations. The banquet was held at the St. Denis hotel. Colonel C. E. Thorburn, commander Of the confederate veteran camp, the official title of the gathering, presided. Grouped around him at the centre table were Colonel 'A. R. Chisholm, Major S. Ellis Brigg3, Ex-Governor Hugh S. Thompson, Augustus W. Peters, Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Stonewall Jack son's staff; Major Jed Hotchkiss and Rev. Dr. James P. Smith, both of whom served with Jackson through the war, Rev. G. S. Daker, and Rev. W. F. Jenkins. The dinfner was given in memory of Stonewall Jackson, and the portrait of the famous confederate leader look ed down upon the gathering. Above this was a portrait of General Lee, (both framed in the flags of the union and the confederate camp. The toalst of the night was that which carried General Jackson's name, and to this Tr. McGuire, who extracted the bullet from the confederate leader, as he lay dying, replied. There weira repeated cheers at the more fervid periods of the doctor's elo quent eulogy, but the wildest enthus iasm of the night occurred when he said,' pointing to theReV. J. P. Smith: "This clergyman threw himself in front of Jackson's body to receive the bullet aimed at the leader." Dr. McGuire said in part: "I am to speak of Stonewall Jack son, not in the formative years of his life, nor in the quiet of peaceful avo cation, but as men knew him when The fire from heaven fell upon him in the battlefield,' as it did upon Arthur the fire by which Sir Launcelot knew him for his king the fire that, like the live coal from off the altar, touch ed the lips' of Jackson and brought from them that kingly voice which the eagle of victory knew and obeyed. For a king was IStonewall Jackson, if ever royalty annoite'd as by fire appeared among men. "In seeking to define Jackson's place in history, I accept Lord Wolseley's definition of a great commander. He declares, In effect, that the marks of this rare character are: Frst of all, the power the instinct, the inspiration to de'fine the 'condition and the purposes of your enemy. Secondly, the genius that in sitra'tegy instantly devises the combinations most likely to defeat 1 those purposes. Thirdly, the physical and (moral courage the absolute self- reliance that takes the risk of de cision, and the skill that promptly and properly delivers ifche oiow that shat ters the hostile plans so managing one's own forces, even when small, as to have the greater, number at the point 'of attack. Fourthly, the, cool judgment that 13 unshaken by the clash and clamor of emergencies, and last, but not least, the provisi'on !the caution that cares for the lives and well-being of the private soldiers, and the personal magnetism that rouses the enthusiasm and affection that make the commander's presence on the battlefield the incentive to all that hu man beings can dare, and the unques tioned hope and sure promise of vic tory. "Many Incidents of Jackson's career prove that he possesised the Ins'tindtive power to know the plight and to fore tell the purposes of the federal army and its commanders." Dr. McGuire then went on to feell many incidents of General Jackson on the battlefield, ithe most interesting and dramatic of which were the follow ing: ; "At Malvern Hill, -when a portion of our army was beaten and to some ex tent demoralized, Hill and Dwell and Early came to tell him that they could make no resistance if McClellam at tacked them in the morning. It was difficult to wake General Jackson, as he was exhausted and very sound asleep. 1 tried it myself and after many efforts partly succeeded. When he was made to understand what was wanted, he said, . 'McCIelian and his army will be gone by daylight,' and went to asleep again. The geneirals thought him mod, butt the prediction was true. "At Fredericksburg, after Bumslde's repulse, he asked me how many ban dages I had. I told bim and asked why he wanted to know. He said that he wanted to have a piece of white cloth to tie on each man's arm, so that his soldiers might trecognize each other in a night attack; and he asked to be allowed to make such an attack and drive his foe into the swollen river or capture him. Subsequent events dem onstrated that he knew the state of things within the hostile lines, and would have accomplished his purpose. General Lee withheld his consent, for the .reason that so often restrained him in like cases; he could n'ot put at so great risk an army which the south could not replace. "That Jackson possessed the second and third requirements-the genius to devise and the skill and courage to de liver the blow needed ;to defeat fis foes is it not amply proved by the general fact that his own force in the Valley campaign was never over 17, 000, and generally less, and that for a time he was keeping at bay 60,000 fed eral soldiers in or near the great val ley, and 40,000 at Fredericksburg soundly thrashing in the field from time 'to time large portions 'of this great army? Or. taking a wider view, Jackson and his small force eo In fluenced the whole campaign as to keep 100,000 federal troops away from Rich mond, and compel the federal govern ment to employ a larger force than the entire confederate army in Virginia, In order, as Lincoln said, "to protect the federal capitol, while another su perior force operated against Lee and Richmond. "I cannot give you any instances or Illustrations of the cnental action by which he reached bis conclusions or devised the combinations which de feated his enemy; for Jackson took no counsel save with his familiar' the Ge nius of War.and his God. He did hold one, and only one, council of war. In March, 1862, at Winchester, Jackson toad in his email army iess than 5,000 men; General Banks, who was ad vancing upon Winchester from Har per Ferry and Chariestown. hail 30. 000 soldiers. General Jackson repeated ly offered General Banks battle, but the latter declined, and on the night of the llth of March went into camp four miles from Winchester. General Jack sent for his officers and proposed to make a night attack, but the plan was not approved by the council. He sent for the officers a second Time, some hours later, and again urged- them to agree to make the night assault, but they again disapproved of the attempt. So, late in the afternoon, we withdrew from Winchester and marched to New ton. I rode with the general as we left the place, and as we reached a ,hlgh point overlooking the town, we both turned to look at Winchester, just evacuated and now left to the m?rcy of the federal soldiers. I think that a man may sometimes yield to over whelming emotion, and I was utterly overcome by the fact that I was leav ing ail that I held dear on earth. But my emocfon was arrested by one look at Jackson. His face was fairly blazing with the fire that was burning in him. and I felt awed before him. Presently he cried out with a manner almost savage: 'That is the last council of war I will ever hold 'And It was his first and last. Thereafter he held council in the secret chamber of. his own heart, and acted. Instantaneous decision, ab solute self-reliance, every actiin, every word displayed. His voice displayed the sharp crack of the rifle sudden. Imperative, resolute. "Jackson always expected to hold his lines, but was always most dangerous ly aggressive. I heard him once say: 'We sometimes fail to drive the enemy from his position. He always fails to drive us.' But he was never content with the defensive, however successful or however exhausting. In the terribly destructive battle of Sharpsburg he was looking all of that day for a chance to make the counter stroke. "He was always calm and self-controlled. He never lost his balance for one moment. At the First Manassas, when we reached the field and found our men under Bee and Bartow falling back when the confusion was great est and Bee, in despair, , cried out: They are driving us back' there was n'ot the slightest emotion apparent about him. His thin lips were com pressed and his eyes were ablaze, when he curtly said, Then, sir, we will give them the bayonet.' "In the very severe engagement at Chantilly, fought during a heavy thunder storm, when the voice of the artillery of heaven couid scarcely be distinguished from that of the enemy, an aide came up with a message from A. P. Hill that his ammunition was wet and that he asked leave to retire. 'Give my complimenits to General Hill and tell Mm that the yankee ammuni tion is as wet as his; to stay where he is. Thesre was always danger and blood when he began his terse sen tences With 'Give my compliments.' "Jackson knew the value of the southern volunteer better and sooner (as I believe) than any other of our grealt leaders. On this subject, I once heard him say, The patriot volunteer fighting ffcr country and his rights makes the most reliable soldier on earth.' "The first time I was under fire, the atempt to diagnose my feelings did not discover to me anything that I recogn- nlzed as posi'tive enjoyment. I ' told General Jackson frankly what my feel ings were, and asked him how he felt the first time he experienced it. iAfraid the fire would not be hot enough for me to distinguish myself,' he promptly replied. "I have seen General Jackson stop while the army was on the march to help a poor simple woman find her son, when she only knew that this son was in 'Jackson's company.' There is no measuring the intensity with which the very soul of Jackson burned in battle. Oct of it he was very gentle. After the battle of the Second Manas sas we were sitting by -the fire drinking coffee out of our tin cups when I said: 'We have won this battle by fc'be hard est kind of fighting,' and he answered me gentry and softly, "No, no; we have won it by the blessing Of Almighty God.' 4 The story of Jackson's death is so familiar to you all, that, though inti mately assoclaited with ite scenes, I will not narrate it. I will only declare that be met this great enemy as he had met all others, calmly a,nd steadi- lq, expecting, as always, to conquer." '1 don't know, there may be others," he said, 'bu't I have used 'Parker's Tolu Cough Syrup' in my family for years and would not be without it." He knew better than to buy the in fen or preparation that was being urged upon him." Parker's Tolu Cough Syrup" has no equal. It will immedi ately relieve any Cough or Cold, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, Hoarse ness, Croup, Bronchitis and kindred al ments.
