EXPLOITS OF CAPT. MAFFIT OF THE CON
FEDERAL NAVY.
Thrilling Experience on a Blockade
Runner He Got In Some Close
Places Sometimes, But Pulled His
Boat Out in Safety Sent His Ship's
Papers and Othor Valuable Records
to the Bottom of Charleston Harbor
Rather Than Have Them Captured.
His Escape to England. .
1 Southport leader. J
Mr. John L. Maffit, son of Capf.
John Maffit, and brother of Lieut. Eu
gene Maffit of the famous Confeder
ate cruiser Alabama, is in the city. He
tells many interesting incidents in
connection with the Alabama. After
sailing about destroying Yankee com
merce for several months the Florida
put into Charleston, which, to their
surprise, they found in the hands of
the Yankees and themselves surround
ed. Lieut. Maffit then ordered that
all his documents, including those
of the Alabama and Florida, be placed
in tin boxes with ropes tied around
them and lowered into the sea. A man
stood by ready to cut the ropes at the
command. When capture seemed in
evitable Lietu. Maffit gave the word
and the history of the most famous
ship that ever floated, with many im
portant State Documents were sent to
the bottom. By great go d luck, how
ever, the Florida made her escape and
sailed to sea. Fayetteville Observer.
Our esteemed contemporary is rath
er mixed in reference to these scraps
of Contederate History.
Capt. John Newland Maffit was a
Lieut. Commander in the navy when
the Civil War broke out. He was a
great favorite wiih the Navy Depart
ment and with his fellow officers, on
account oT his superior abilities and
his genial whole souled nature. He
performed well known service in the
U. S. Coast Survey, and his name will
be found upon the best charts of our
coast at the present time. He was
associated with the celebrated Prof.
Bache, who held Maffit in very high
esteem.
Capt. Maffit resigned from the old
Navy with extreme reluctance, and
from a high sense of duty to the State
of his adoption, North Carolina, he
having been born at sea.
During the Civil War Maffit was
placed in command of the steamer
Oreto, which subsequently became
famous as the Florida. After two
years service afloat, during which time
he destroyed much of the Northern
commerce, his health became enfee
bled, he was ordered home, and grant
ed several months' leave of absence.
His active spirit, however, would not
permit him to remain long idle, and
his great skill and daring led to his
appointment as commander of sever
al blockade runners engaged in bring
ing war stores for the Confederacy
from Nassau, Bermuda, to ports in the
South.
Among the steamers which he ran
during the Confederacy were the Gor
don, Lillian, Florie (named for his
daughter the late Mrs. J. G. Wright),
and Owl. " The last named boat was
one of the most noted blockade run
ners of the war. When Fort Fisher
was captured the Federals were care
lul to set the usual harbor lights which
guided the blockade runners to an
anchorage after they had passed the
fleet outside the bar, and quite a num
ber of unfortunate Southern steamers
which had braved the dangers of the
ever watchful cruiser, were thus de
coyed to their doom unaware of the
greater danger which awaited them in
the supposed friendly port.
Among this number was the steamer
Owl, commanded by Maffit, but did
he surrender like the others when he
found he was caught in a trap, and
surrounded by a hostile fleet, from
which escape seemed impossible, not a
bit of it. After communicating very
briefly with Fort Caswell, and being
informed that a train was already laid
to blow up this last Confederate strong
hold, and that it was being hurriedly
evacuated, he returned to his ship,
and surrrounded as he was by the
enemy, he boldly rushed tjr the main
bar under a storm of shot aud shell
which raked the little boat fore and
aft, and which well nigh sent her to
the bottom.
On reaching the open sea Maffit
determined to try Charleston, which
unknown to him was also in the hands
of the Federels. True, the Owl was
loaded with gunpowder which he sup
posed was greatly needed by the Con
federacy, and the risk of destruction
would have been appalling to a man
of extraordinary courage, but Maffit
did not hesitate; duty to the South
was the first consideration, the risk to
himself and his crew a secondary mat
ter. He steered straight for Charles
ton bar and entered the harbor on the
following night.
Having anchored in the channel
which still bears his name, he soon
found himself surrounded by the Fed
eral fleet, apparently bottled up and
hermetically sealed. Hastily descend
ing to his cabin he gathered together
his invaluable record of the cruise of
the Florida and other papers for which
any price would now be paid, and
placed them in a tin box, the box
within a canvass bag, accompanied by
an iron weight, which he placed in the
hands of a trustworthy quartermaster
with orders to lash the bag over the
rail, and when escape was impossible
and capture inevitable, to cut away
the lashings and send the bag to the
bottom. Capt. Maffit then hove up

for the bar again, but he was al reader
discovered and the entire fleet opened
fire upon him. Several shells' crashed
into the devoted little ship and the
quartermaster believing all was lost
drew his knife across the lashings,
and some of the most valuable papers
of the war went to the bottom of
Charleston harbor, where they prob
ably still remain.
Through all this excitement the in
trepid Maffit kept his head and won

of the Confederacy. He then without

Profitable Tobacco Growing.
The following reference to a well
known and successful farmer of Nash
county, is taken from the Wilmington
Messenger:
We fiud this in some exchange:
"The Tarboro Southerner says a
Nash farmer last year made a clear
profit of $8,000 on tobacco aud other
crops."
That refers to Mr. T. W. Aveul, we
suppose. We saw it mentioned lately
that he averaged on a part of his crop
$350, an acrefor 1895. That i9 inter
esting. Can he state with accuracy
how many acres this averaged,, what
was the average of h'19 entire crop, and
how much the total acreage? How
much did he expend for fertilizers,
what did his labor cost, and in fact
what was the full cost of production
per acre? What the amount in poudds
of his total crop? Statistics are valu
able and tangible. It is extraordinary
j success to make $350, at present low
prices, per acre with tobacco. In the
J past, when tobacco ran high, we have
' known Granville farmers to average
for entire crops of tobacco alone from
$400 to $600 per acre. But it is not
so now.

Half of the burdens of life are caused
by worrying; and more than half our
worrying is about the future. As we
know nothing of the future, not even
one hour beyond the present, but can
only surmise and imagine, it follows
that by far the greater part of all our
worrying is simply about imaginary
things. Hence the folly of it. The
great difficulty, however, is that we
cannot help it by any direct effort of
the will. There is only one cure for
worry; and that is to work so hard and
so earnestly at our present task as to
have no time for aught else.
It is ho trouble for a man with a
clean heart to find the good things
of this life on every hand; while the
man with a scarred and blackened heart
always find the evil where the good
should be.

An Inevitable I ldustrial Revolution.
T Worcester (Mass) Spy.
A careful study of the coal and iron
resources of the South, and of the prog
ress already made in their develop
ment, leads to the conclusion that the
abundance and cheapness of these two
important articles, upon which a mul
titude of our greatest industries are
based, must inevitably lead to the
transfer of many of them from their
present locations to others in the vicin
ity of where these raw ' materials are
produced. It is one of the industrial
revolutions of the future that will make
the South the home of vast plants for
the manufacture of rails, of structural
iron and steel, of water pipes, and of
many other things of large weight and
bulk, in which the question of long
hauls is one of grave economic Impor
tance. Private John Allen's Story.
"I went up to Chickamauga with
Judge Newman and Colonel Barbour
Thomson," said he. "I walked about
the field and heard hundreds of old
fellows talking about the spot on which
they had been wounded, and telling all
mai ner of marvelous stories. I was
not at Chickamauga, but I was in other
battles, and when a man tells you that
he can pick out spots where all sorts of
things occurred in a battle this many
years afterwards, you may put him
down as a liar.
"Well, everybody up there was ly
ing, and I had to do a little myself."
I was standing by the railroad sta
tion at the foot of one of the hills when
an old veteran accosted me and asked
if I knew when the next train left for
Rome."
"No," said I, "this is the first time I
have been here in thirty-two years and
my friend, when I stand here and look
upon this hill, recalling the charge I
made up it through a shower of shot
and shell, how I dashed my horse
right through a federal battery, leaping
seven different cannon and emerged
from a shower of bullets unscathed, I
wonder that I am alive to-day."
"As the old fellow listened to my
story his eyes filled with tears. He
walked up and putting his arm about
me, said:
" Young man, you were spared for
some great purpose.' " Atlanta Con-

mit ex-Confederates to Hold Posi

I Wilmington Messenger. 1
Have you ever heard ol the great
American captain, Generaf Napoleon
Caesar Wellington Boutelle, from the
frozen regions of Maine, and now a
member of the United States House of
Representatives? He is the great sol
dier of our country. He neither
fought, bled nor died" in the war be
tween the States, but he has been on
the war, path ever since it closed, and
has been engaged in some very sangui
nary campaigns ever since the Maine,
ites sent him to Washington. He is a
terrific fighter in peace time, and an
extreme South-hater at all times. It
is his meat and drink by day, and his
sleep by night. He is the bloodiest
soldier "in the files of time." Fact!
He has slaughtered with his tongue
uore Confederates than the Pennsyl
vania "Buck-tails" killed in the war.
Gen. Epaminondas - Alexander Fred
erick the Great Boutelle is simply and
generally and particularly immense.
He deserves a statue of brass and a life
in jest-books with newspaper portraits
of immortality.
Well, this Gen Boabadil Don Quix
ote Tecumseh, Sherman Boutelle, of
Tiger Rendezvous, Maine, has been
flashing his tomahawk a la Blaine in
the House and threatening the scalps
of the harmless men of the South who
sit in such imminent danger from his
kindling and consuming wrath. And
what is it all about? Attend:
The fight began because of a ques
tion raised by a bill of Senator Dave
Hill's relating to the appointment of
officers in the army or navy from
among those who served in the Con
federacy, who previous to the outbreak
ot the war, held commissions as offi
cers in the United States service. The
bill passed the Senate and was favora
hly reported to the House by Mr.
Hull, chairman of the committee on
Military Affairs. This aroused the
mighty ire of the great soldier, and
like a lion from his lair, he jumped
into the middle of the arena, gave a
horrid roar and then pranced around
and howled and split the air and swore
it would never do. "What! Put
traitors on duty? Whatl Allow trai
tors to fight for their country! Nevare,
Nevare, Mr. Speaker! I will unsheath
my gigantic sword of death and squash
the entire South, before I will stand by
consenting to such a disgrace and
wrong." And then Gen. Sheridan
Cromwell Kirkpatrick Boutelle, all the
way from Maine, blew a fearful blast
through his fingers, and swinging and
circling over his fiery head his terrific
blade of death he danced the war
dance of the Sioux, and said "I am
ready to die right now for my coun
try." And the galleries looked on at
the fine fun, and the pages eat goob
ers in silence, and wondered what next,
It was awful times you bet. It brought
out some daring patriots to the rescue,
and Gen. Grosvener and Gen. Pickler
fought side by side with Gen. Walker
and Gen. Wheeler, late of the Con
federacy, against the terrific and battle
breathing Gen. Bombastes Furioso Ben
Butler Boutelle, of the Maine contin
gent of decayed and delayed war pa
triots and irrepressibles.
But all of the frantic appeals and
snorting periods of the great soldier's
eloquence were powerless. When the
vote came he stood well nigh aione in
his glory, and yet he had not the de
cency to fold his mantle about him,
cover his head in shame and die then
and there. He rode his prancing
Rozinante right at and over the dis
mounted Southern Brigadiers, and yet
strange to say he was the only soldier
who got a fall and was mud covered.
When he voted no "solitary and
alone," he evidently felt like uncle
Gabe at the meeting; he knew h; was
bit hard
"And he smiled a kind of sickly smile,
and curled up on the floor.
And the subsequent proceedings interested
him no more."
So this man of war thirty odd years
after peace was declared, stands re
buked and should be spurned. His
floating plumes droop now, and his tin
sword is broken, and his absurd call
for boots and saddles rings out as the
cry of a fool with one hobby. This
flouting of the Southern soldiers, and
this flaunting of the' old bloody shirt,
faded and dilapidated and full of boles
have had their evil day. There will
be fanatics and haters so long as they
survive, but the South is all right. If
this country should by any foolish act
of the Government be drawn into a
war with some great Foreign Power,
and the 12,000,000 of Southern
whites should refuse to lift a hand the
demagogues of the ranting type who
carry on war in peace times should be
put in the front of battle. But when
war shall come the South will do its
foil duty.

Being Sick
is largely a matter of
choice. Sickness can usually be cured.
In cases of dyspepsia, heartburn and
sour stomach always take "Ripans
Tabules." This good remedy is com

Being Well
is impossible if the drugs
you buy are not reliable and pure.

doctor writes a prescription for you.
The doctor's advice and my pure
drugs are pretty sure to make sick
people well.
