It seems difficult to get the exact sta tistics of losses in battle. Least wise, Snany errors creep into accounts of en gagements; as given in newspapers. Let us illustrate. The Twenty-sixth iregiment perhaps stands at the head fcf southern regiments in losses in one 9attle. It was a part of Pettigrew's fcplendid brigade that has been so neg Jected or misrepresented by Pollard and frther Virginia writers. The statement ftnet with from time to time even in jNorth Carolina newspapers as to loss es at Gettysburg is misleading, because .rroneous. It is an underestimate. The Joss is given at 558 men one company at one time losing 84, every soldier and (officer being hit. 'Colonel W. H. S. Bur gwyn, of Henderson, brother of the gallant commander of the -Twenty jixth, Colonel Harry Burgwyn, who fell 5n battle, has corrected this erroneous statement in The Raleigh 'News and Observer. The regiment lost heavily on the first day at Gettysburg. Colonel Burgwyn says: "On the third day Pettigrew's bri gade, notwithstanding the dreadful havoc of the first day, was again put in the front rank, not as a support to Pickett, remember, and its shat tered ranks penetrated as far, if not farther than those of any other com mand, and the loss was again appall ing. The Fifty-second North Carolina regiment of the brigade, commanded by it a heroic colonel. J. K. Marshal, had lx)th its colonel and major killed, and the other regiments suffered in like pro portion. The Twenty-sixth lost 120 men out of the 240 taken into action making a total loss of the regiment in the two days' 708 men of the total 800 rank and file before the battle. Company F had 91 men instead of 84 for duty on the first day of which every man was killed or wounded. It will not be forgotten that on the retreat from Gettysburg Pettigrew's brigade was given the post of honor as part of the rear guard of the army, and that at Falling Waters, while protecting the ford across the potomac at that point, this brigade was attacked by cavalry and its beloved commander, Pettlgrew, killed.'- j Colonel Burgwyn gives an interest ing extract from an address delivered at Chicago before the Western Society of the Army of the, Potomac. He be longed to the Twenty-fourth Michigan. Colonel B. says, and it is the best kind of testimony as to the great fighting qualities of the 'North Carolinians: "He says his regiment was attacked by the Twenty-sixth North Carolina. I quote a few lines from Mr. Mc'Connell's address: 'The Twenty-fourth Michi gan had mainly to contend with the direct fire of Pettigrew's brigade iof HMorth Carolinians' (and the Carolinians were the fighters of the confederacy) and especially of that magnificent fighting regiment of 800 heroes, the Twenty-sixth North Carolina,- whose 3oss in the battle of Gettysburg,, both in numbers, 708, and percentage 88, was the greatest ever recorded in war fare, even downt to the present time of breech loadingtrifles and rapid firing guns.' " ' Newspapers that have published the Wrong figures should give the true ones. A careful examination of the nearly 100 great volumes of the "War Records" "thus far published by the federal gov ernment, throw much important light upon the losses, the forces, etc., of the respective states. The Greenville Weekly corrects - another mistake of war statistics as to North Carolina given by Superintend ent Howells, at Raleigh. Instead of Fourth North Carolina having 678 men and officers in the battle of Seven Pines, as the south knows it, or "Fair Oaks," as the yankees call it.jthe loss was much more t han 54.4 per .cent. The Weekly says Moore gives the loss at 462 men out of 520. Colonel Bryan . Grimes (afterwards major general) and a most gallant one, in his letters says that he entered the battle "with 25 officers and 520 non-commissioned offi cers and men. All the omcers were killed or wounded, except myself, with 462 men killed and wounded." There are 24 officers 'to be added This makes 488 wounded or killed or 89.51 per cent. The Weekly undertakes to correct also as to" the last fighting at Appomattox. The usual account is that General Cox's brigade made the last charge. It fired into a federal force and drove them back. Another body of infantry soon after advanced, when General Grimes "drove them back with a battery of artillery." That was the last shot. General Cox was in Grimes's division. The Weekly j-makes a statement new to us. It says that the "first sacrifice was the life of Henry Wyatt, a Pitt county boy, whose life blood went out at Big Bethel." Is that correct? All other accounts of Wyatt agree that he was a native of Richmond, Va. When it is stated that 88V4 per cent. of a regiment was killed or wounded in battle it means a very great deal. When it is stated as a fact that there were 89.54 per cent killed in another North Carolina regiment it beats the record of this country. The point is, did the Fourth North Carolina really lose S9.54 per cent., or a fraction more than the famous Twenty-sixth North Carolina? Remember, that inthe last Franco-Prussian war (1870-71) the per centage of loss was but 3 1-10, while in the northern army it was large, but small compared with the two North Carolina regiments, 8 6-10- per cent. The 'Light brigade, so nobly celebrated in Tennyson's martial verse, at the battle or liaiamava, lost out 37 per cent. Such facts are worth treasuring We never saw young Harry Bur gwyn. He succeeded General Petti grew" in command of the Twenty-sixth North Carolina, He was very young for . such a responsible position, but he bavely asserted his right to command and gave his life to the cause of his people. He ought to have a monument at ithe expense of the people of the State. And. so ought Major General Bryan Grimes, who entered the" ser vice as major. W e knew him from 1847 to the sad end of a most brave, chival rous life. No state was ever better served or had more resolute, daring soldiers than these two natives of North Carolina, THE COTTON CONVENTION. If the call of Governor Culberson, of Texas, of a cotton grower's convention to meet at Galveston on 2nd August next is answered by delegates from all the states in the south it may prove an important gathering. The cotton planters have not worked in harmony. When prices advanced about planting time a big crop was sure to be pitched, and an excess of cotton grown oyer de mand. That has always meant lower prices. In a-state the cotton men, or a part of them, would meet and resolve on a two-thirds crop. The most of them in the meeting would stand bv the resolution, while some .would plant more cotton and farmers not bound at all would act upon the belief that all other planters would'cut off one-third, so they would add a third and take ad vantage of a supposed reduced year. If the cotton growers could all agree upon a line of action and would abide hy it faithfully they would cease to be the victims of the trusts and combi nations as they now are. The resolu tion of the Texas legislature giving the governor the power to call the conven tion, which we must think an error. The purpose of the proposed body does not look to controlling in any prduction. Let Texas make all its may and so with other states. If that is done we verily believe a crop can be produced that will exceed demand by fifty per cent. It is set forth in the resolution that the purpose of the convention is to devise and regulate concurrent legis lation in the cotton growing Btates, to relieve cotton from speculation and gambling in futures and to suppress unlawful interference with the cotton trade. Of course North Carolina, that has become of some importance in cot ton growing making well nigh 400, 000 bales will be well represented. It . ught in fact to send a strong delega tion of the most enlightened, wider awake cotton planters in the state. Improper and deficient care of the scalp will cause grayness of the hair and baldness. Escape both by tile use of that reliable specific, Hall's Hair Re newer. SNAPS. McKinley and some of his cabinet are to visit the Tennessee cetennial. . When Governor Bob Taylor resigns his successor will be the speaker of the state senate, John Thompson. The republican house will slay the senate Cuban resolution. It will depend on Boss Reed and President McKinley. General Horatio King, postmaster- general in Buchanan's administration. died in Washington pn 20th. He was in his 86th year. If the king of Greece was- to be de throned or decapitated it would not bring surprise to any one. Greece sometimes gets "mighty tired" of its self-chosen kings. McKinley is reported as very un willing to be shaking a red flag at the mad Spanish bull. Cleveland was even afraid to go in sight of the bull as he lashed his angry tail. Spanish reports give thirty-four fights lately. The Cuban's were killed every time of course. The fights oc-. curred too in the provinces reported "completely pacified." - Funning and lying! The revenues of the British govern ment for year 31 March 1897, exceeded estimates by some $16iOOO,obo. The ex penditures -also exceeded the estimates. But the sum left in the treasury was nearly $14,000,000. Brother John Wanamaker's speech attracts unwonted attention and it draws about his exposed head hundreds of angry republican " wasps. Put on your fireman's hat brother-Wany and use your hose .upon the spitfires. . The democrats in the senate do not seem to have much more wisdom as to tax levying than the republicans have. They all need to study fhe real principles of taxation. He is a poor kind of democrat who favors a tariff upon household necessaries and is sen timental as to taxing whiskey and beer, smokers and chews. The Southern, Presbyterian assembly in session, at Charlotte, is having some able and animating debates. The Pres byterians are very sound on woman preaching and lecturing. DrJ Smoot spoke wisely and vigorously. No wo man spouter on .platforms and pulpits can ever spout to us on matters per taining to the Christian religion. It is not surprising to learn that the house will sro slow as . to Cuba. The president and Tsar Reed are still sit ting under the shadow of Cleveland's paralyzing influence. The house need not favor war, but it might at least denounce the Weyler campaign of butchery, starvation,- desolation .and death. The Duchess D'Alencon, a beautiful society woman of Paris, was indeed of heroic temper. She gave ' her life in the Jate fire for the benefit of others. and richly deserves to be remembered with admiration. An account says that she "might have escaped, for those with her did, but she literally gave her life for others." All honor to the brave as well as lamentation for the lost. It is a fortunate day for a man when he first discovers the value of Ayer's Sarsaparilla as a blood-purifier. With this medicine, he knows he has found a remedy upon which he may rely, and that his life-long malady is at last con quered. Has. cured others, will cure you. , GOOD EXAMPLES. Some big figuring has been done in Georgia, and by a negro man named Barton Powell. It was mentioned late ly in The Messenger. It is an, example of success well worth editorial notice. It shows what energy and intelligence combined can do. It is given in The At lanta Constitution, ' and is authentic and reliahle. Powell worked for twelve years, and each year saved all he could. He found himself at the end the owner of $2,000. He bought 500 "acres, put ten men Ho work, planted cotton, corn and sugar cane (note corn and cane) and cleared $2,500 the first year. That is to say, at the end of the year he had more than his original savings in hand again, and 500 acres of land in good order as clear profit, wi th whatever stock and provisions he had accumulated during the year. Since then he has bought more land, paying spot cash for all he bought, until now he owns 2,100 acres, from which he mar kets 400 bales of cotton annually. He also owns a country store wb4h pays him well, and a comfortable residence. His profits last year were over $7,000." At the price paid for his land, we may suppose it was of ordinary Geor gia land, not very rich. He lives in Decatur county. His success is the result of good, practical farming and common sense saving. It is a fine object lesson of thrift among the negroes and a capital example for the white people of Georgia and elsewhere. A sensible, level headed man can generally make when, he tries. We knew personally well an Edgecombe county farmer. About 1870 he went to Pennsylvania and bought a sow of superior bre;.!, paying $125. It was regarded as very foolish by those who did not know. The first year he sold seven, pigs at $25 a head receiving $175 and had five pigs for himself. The same farmer never cultivated a yard of land that was not highly improved result, fine crops, good prices and much accumula tion of means. It is always wise to use the surest means to reach your ends. Pulmonary consumption, in Us early stages, may be checked by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It stops the distressing cough, soothes irritation of the throat and lungs, and induces much-needed repose. Hundreds have testified to the remarkable virtues of this preparation. SOME ASTONISHING FIGURES. The eminent English statistician, Mr. Mulhall, (wrongly given recently as. Munhall, when we knew better) in his valuable discussion In the North Amer ictan Review, gives instructive figures as to New England's progress and wealth. In 1850, its manufactured pro, duce was $283,000,000. In 1890 forty years later it was $1,499,000,000. Mr, Mulhall's comparison of New England manufactories, in 1890, with those of the leading countries of Europe, is as follows: I Value of Mfres manufac-T Popula- per tures. tion. inhab Countries, Hants, New England $1,499,000,000 4,700,000 $319 Great Britain. 4,022,000,000. 35,1 00, 000 115 France .. 2,860,000,000 38,500,000 74 Germany 3,310,000,000 52,200,000 63 Belgium 566,000,000. 6,400,000 88 We note that the per capita value of manufactures of New England were, in 1890, about three times as great as in Great Britain, more than four times as much as in France and five times as much as in Germany. .

By Anno Domini 1920, it will be great in its in dustries. It has very much to learn. The south ought to grow every thing it consumes. 'With its splendid capabil ities and opportunities and natural ad vantages it ought to depend upon no section or country for what it eats or wears or enjoys. It ought to make its own clothing of all kinds; all its luxu ries and .necessaries; all of its furni ture, vehicles, agricultural instruments, musical and other instruments, bicy cles, baby carriages in a word, every thing used in households, shops, on farms every thing worn or eaten or smoked or drunk. That is the way to be independent. New England has not one-fourth the natural advantages the south offers. In forty years or more, the south will indeed be a land of corn and wine, of mills and thousands of other industries, when it will have 30, 000,000 of busy, active, enterprising, re sourceful, thrifty people. All this is built upon the promise and hope that the Union may be preserved and good, honest, economical, righteous -government may prevail and continue.

Hughes News Notes. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) Fayetteville, N. C, May 24. Last week and this week embrace the "fields davs" of the flourishing schools of the upper Cape Fear section. The Lumber Bridge academy. Mr. J. A. McArthur principal, had a very pleas ant closing last week, with a scholarly address by Major E. J. Hale, of Fay etteville: on Friday Mr. D. H. McLean, one of the most pleasing speakers in the state, addressed a large audience at Mr. L. C. Brogden's Dunn high school commencement, and on the same day Hon. Kemp P. Battle, ex-president of the university, was the orator of a similar occasion at Raeford institute, a school of remarkably high grade. On Thursday and Friday next take place the commencement exercises of the Fayetteville military academy the mil itary features predominating on the first day, with the literary and scholas tic of the front on the second. Rev. T. N. Ivey, of Greensboro, will deliver the address, Last evening the eadets marched in a body from barracks to St. John's church, where the rector. Rev! I. W. Hughes, delivered the baccalaur eate sermon polished, classical, elo quent. Universal are the expressions here of the hope that the business difficulties of Mr. R. M. Nimocks may prove but a temporary cloud. We can ill afford the crippling of so potent a force in our material affairs. Mr, Nimocks is a man of fine business capacity, whose place is at the front. Messrs, L. B, Holt & Co., are moving their stock of dry goods, furnishings, etc.. from Graham to this place, occu pying the handsome iron front store building owned by Dr. E. J. Lilly, which combines, with the immense structure of the Williams stores and opera house, and the elegant Hotel La Fayette, to . form, the most imposing block in tho city. It was built by Messrs- Stow & Williams and after the war was occupied by the firm of H. & E. J. Lilly, wealthy and successful mer chants, who, although much of our up country trade had been diverted from us, carried on a large dry goods busi ness in the territory south of Fayette ville, May the Messrs. Holt make it the theatre of the old-time business ac tivity, The new jail is an attractive build ing; and, with its aspect of domestic life on the first floor, its penitential features are happily thrown into the background but, for all that, it will continue to be a "blot on the prospect" as long as prisoners are allowed to stand at the windows, and, by indecent language, shock a thickly settled neigh borhood of women and children. One hears of improvements in the ex cellent system of waterworks, which has a pressure probably not equaled anywhere else in the south. Property holders on Haymount only know that for them the already high water rates are increased., and they declare that they cannot stand that pressue. tfnless rain comes soon the dewberry and raspberry crops in this section wtU be greatly cut off. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC.s SOUTHERN JOTTINGS. Rev. Dr. George J. Johnson, of St. Louis, celebrated last , week the fifty fourth anniversary of his ministry. The Arkansas senate has voted to reduce from $10 to $5 the amount to be paid to each county by candidates for representatives in congress. Purchase of the Galveston and West ern Railway Company by the Galves ton, La Porte and Houston railway has been authorized by the Texas legis lature. Do You Use It? It's the best thing for the hair tinder all circumstances. Just as no man by taking - thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows and, just as a desert will bi ossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor.
