In advance.! WHJMINCPrON, N. C tFOESDiAYi APBEL 5, 1898, PUniNO ON WAR PAINT. It Really looks as if the fierce , dogs 'of war were about .to be J unleashed. TThe heavens are now deeply wan as .ff already "wrapped in drifts of lurid smoke." The American people are iri deed profoundly moved. And from? all parts of the country, unless New Eng land! goes as it did in 1812-M4, "war, "war is still the cry, war even to the knife." While millions of Americans do not desire war but greatly prefer peace on honorable! terms, they do not favor a surrender, a backdown now just as the insolence of Spain becomes more intense and its braggadocio more virulent Probably McKinley's backbone has been sufficiently plaster ed and strengthened by the voice of demands of hatf -the country and the i nis party tin tn house, to do what is proper and patriotic and brave now. If he indeed favors Cuban indepen - dence and 4 intervention at last, and even goes sq far as 1 to hold Spain ret -sponsible for the Maine disaster; a position we do not now believe he wil 1- : 1 l i I i, ' I ' - ; assume yithout some) provision, some loophole of escape, it will cure the sus pense and then the fight for peace, inj dependence and libertvill have be- gun. 'Once begun it VJl! be pushed with intense vigor, and immense activ sity and pluck.

Asheville may well expect two very fine addresses at i the unveiling' of the monument erected in memory of the reat senator, 2ebulon Baird Vance, the most popular man ever born with in the boundaries of North Carolina .smd certainly one of the 'truest, most .many-sided and ablest. Senator John Daniel, of Virginia, and Colonel Alfred M. Waddell,! of Wilmington, sare to be the orators. ."Mr. Edward Gilliam the really gift- ed ex-North Carolina Journalist, gave our readers in Sunday's Messenger some appropriate and patriotic verses. The lines rebuking the indemnity idea are pertinent, and the two couplets as to the . office of ; gratitude are awaken ing: "I - j.'' "Upon their blood we set ifo price, Who made supreme their sacrifice. j Let -Gratitude their names still trace; And hallow their last resting place. Who gave ail that they had to give And died that Liberty might live." The University or North Carolina by last reports, shows up with 520 stu dents on its roll. ; What will be the sum of the enrollment of; the teachers (women and men) at the coming sumr mer school we cannot!- anticipate probably between 150 and 200. i .The report says: j u y : 'The attendance, not counting ! the summer school, ex ceeds 1 the highest number ever reached (in! 1857-58) by 47, and includes for the-first time wo men among the list of students. 1 A new. department, that ot pharmacy, has been added, which enrolls 17 stu dents the first year." - It is to be hoped that the ; United States government will take immedi ate steps to afford protection to Beau fort and Morehead in this Stste. -Prior to the war Fort Macon, of the old style, stood ready to be used ! if dangers threatened. -The war department should at once, put defences at the" en trance to these towns, that will give the Spanish ships trouble , if they do not. keep' them away entirely. It will be very neglectful and", unmerciful in deed to leave the inhabitants of those towns and the j people living on water courses adjacent; Without the best available protection. While: North Car olina militia are to be called out at the sound of the first tocksin, and her steamers are to "be- used for war pur poses, : let the federal authorities not. overlook ; the present defenselessness of the towns indicated. BREVITIES Late London papers are of the opin ion that Spain has waited long for peace has lost her Opportunity to set tle the dispute with the United States amicably. 1 , - ' ! . ' Diplomacy is at an end; will media tion of the European powers come? If .so it must come quickly T . .... or it will, come in vain. . senator McMillan merely voices what everybody understands, that Mc KInley s delay from time to time as a "dndee tn sat t.hft o.oimt.rvi readv for the final aDueal. He says: "The president is flat-footed on the preposition that Spain must move out bodily. J j "He also knows absolutely that Spain cannot or at least will not con cent to this complete abandonment. That means war." 4 li . i . ,- r. .t---:i ' The state guard of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is reported ready for ac tion. Miles says the United States army is ready. . : Of course. Is lliles ready also ? Is his new uniform of Eu ropean cut ready and are his mus- tachios waxed and twisted? Northern Methodists now have dea- conesses and they are licensed like the preachers ; are.' Next. 5 The able New York Times in its. is sue of - Saturday says that mony against Spain" as to the "testi he destruc- tion of the Maine over- wheming." Of course it is! and Spain knows it, but plays a set-off, a sort of bluff game, j i ' The Baltimore Manufacturers',' Rec ord dared to censure the course of the New York Evening ,Bost in its ih- ' tense opposition to' war with Spain. One John M, Grath, of New York, in sympathy" with the Post, writes to The Record that "it ought to be ! burned." Thart fate ought to be j reserve for traitors. Grath thinks this country is as bad. as Spain and has an.' antodafe ready ; for those who dare to "think for themselves and are faithful to home and country. ! ; j It is now President McKinley's cri sis as well as Spain's. What: will he do with.it? ;.:f.;i;:1 ; H'w. ;J.T ! Boss Hanna with infintile! innocency. cries in the night for peace, and says there must be no war; It is understood that the Boss is in the mighty meshes of Wall street , peace-makers. What Will Major Mc. do with Hanna? It is admitted by many j republicans of the, Dingley following that even if no war: comes there will be a curren cy deficiency ,of full $25,000,000. It will no doubt be even ' larger than that sum. With 996,000 blood: suckers on the pension roll thirty-three ,years af ter Deace a deficiency. mayi be long ex- nected. It takes nearly $150,Oob,000 to U fill the prodigious pension maw. -v - I .

In the SouthlCaroUna cotton mills in the upper or piedmont section, the rewards of industry have been good. Mr. Hammond, of Greenville, hafis pub lished some statistical information. He writes that one mill near his town cost $100,000, plant and working capi tal included. It now has a plant cost ing $1,250,000, has paid put "dividends amounting . to more than the capital stock, and is continuing them 1 as the rate of 10 per cent per annum. An other started with! 3,000 spindles and now has 12,000, and all Increase and expenditures came from the earnings. At Danville, Va., there is a mill which began in 1883, with a capital stock of 50,000, and today I is capitalized at $2,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is in pre ferred stock, which pays 5 per cent, semi-annually, and $1,000,000 is in common stock, which pays 4 per cent semi-annually. One .of lie abuses inbur country is the senseless hostility displayed by demagogues and . unreflecting i people to i corporations - generally. i These "institutions" are assailed mercilessly as if a cotton factory, or a bank, or a railroad, were necessarily a public en-, emy, and should be warred upon as a sacred duty by every patriot, and particularly by all who never expect to have money enough to invest in any enterprise requiring capital and of public utility. There are 2,400,000 per sons who live off the railroads in the United states, and are to a very great extent dependent upon them I for daily bread and comforts. The actual em ployes are put .at 800,000.' Mr. St. John, vice president of the Seaboard Air Line, in opposing a reduction of pas senger rates lately, ! said : . i "Let ;us deal fairly with this great interest and see to it that it is not only permitted to exist, but to earn from just and reasonable rates sufficient to meet not Only its operating expenses and taxes, but. to. have something over to meet its physical necessities; and to pay that debt which it justly owes to its bond and stockholders,, viz., the in terest upon its bonds, coupled I with a reasonable dividend upon its! stock; and right here let me say that ; the railroads comprising this line have no bonds or stock which does not repre sent actual cash expenditures." GRAND JURIES AND WORTHY CANDIDATES. . . The Messenger many times has es sayed to expose the insufficiency, of jury trials; in the , south as now con ducted. There is too much of ' race prejudice jand antagonism in it, as well as race ignorance and . incompe tency, to obtain uniform 1 justice and vindication. " The grand juries also need overhauling.? Not all, for some :-----"' - - 1 are good, faithful and efficient. But in the newspapers we meet with com plaints i and ) exposures of the ineffi ciency of jthese juries, and that it is simply impossible for some forms of viciousness and ' depravity ! to be brought to justice. The Richmond (Va.) Central Presbyterian lately had a timely editorial upon "Grand Juries" in which . were discussed properly as I "the fountain head of meht.' Let this fountain be imnure. I ( - i I corrupts and let: its stream of duty and fidelity become turbid and weak. and cease at last to flow, and a ereat evil befalls a state. A gentleman liv- .... j, ,i - .... . .. i " . . . . innH n 4- Ttnwfnn nA.oi ' Hfo T T- A Walker, writes to the Central Presby terian- in hearty approval, and from his communication we take this: : !A , pure fountain must send pure water. There is no source" to which a community looks fori the vindication of the law, .with as perfect right as to its grand jury yet how many grand juries 'even under oath' go back on first principles? Surely. 'Politics with out religion are fatal to society' nev ertheless, how many of our; chief ofQ- cialS. nrofessin erodlinpss nnhlir.lv difregard the commandments of God and live irreligious, and consider the sanctity of the Sabbath of no impor tance ? Is it "not time for God's people to cry out against these things?". The j nominating conventions in North Carolina are . soon . to be held. North Carplina has had a most unfor tunate i and sad i experience n for some years in the bad ; character and gen- evenorsokeotusomcia is a sore affliction to a commonwealth to fall under the baleful control of bad, unprincipled ' men. There is top much indifference shown as to who are appointed delegates. How can men of low principles ' and easy virtue be relied upon to elect upright, -consci entious, faithful, tried men for office? They-will mot rise above themselves! above their own standard in ? selec tion in all probability. Only really worthy men, who can be trusted too right and be honest, and faithful, should be j named for any off ice When ever, : venal; . vicious men are forced upon thei party it is - the duty of the I upright, self-respecting democrats' .to refuse, to vote for such fellows "of the baserj sort." No good and true man ought to vote knowingly for a rascal or man of doubtful record. Dare to delight when you vote. Think of North Carolina's fate and iyour own welfare anj conscience. . COUNTRY EDITOR. i A . competent editor of country newspaper 3 " able to render Important service to ihis patrons , and the com munity in Iwhich he labors and in the section in - wrhich his paper circulates. If he is a mt,n: of intelligence, ia man "of personal iittgrity, of good morals and a friend tcirxuth, he can be an educa tor, a bempctor, a true friend , of .the people. Heian aid in all deserving en terprises, iJtose all crying abuses, up hold - morality and religion, stand forth as ifhe champion of education, in a scoret)f -'ways help on good gov ernment i'Sistice' between -man and man, and Igslp to develop a better sys tem of faft&ing. In fact a faithful, well equipped ieuntry editor is a public blessing. is to be relied upon al ways tV ffr and defend tt.e' rule of virtue, thlconservation of the public peace, thi? : maintenance of ! upright government .the purity and fidelity of the courts nd the great, fundamental invincible! principles of civil j and reli giqus libe-i the freedom of jthe press, the right $j think and to print. We have ' been 1 led to - indulge' this, brief train of rejection by : a simple head line in the'? Annapolis (Mo.) iGazetter "The Country Editor." Now! we turn to read wb;at followed, . and will copy rthe main p;rt if not all, if It strikes, us as good, asmpressive, as supplemental in any wa;j ,of , our own short . screed above.
