The Wilmington Messenger has
done itself proud in its full and inter
esting reports of the Southern Bap
tist Convention, in session there. Each
issue comprises from 8 to 12 pages
and is well filled with valuable matter
of interest to the general reader as
well as Baptists.
W. G. Randall, the well known
North Carolina Artist, has been com
missioned to paint the portraits of the
three Colouels of the famous 26th
North Carolina regiment Vance,
Burgwyn and Lane. The work will
be done in Washington, that it may
be historically correct as to uniforms,
etc.
Thk April number of Notwitzky" ' s
Monthly, published at Norfolk, by the
inimitable Capt. Geo. I. Nowiizky,
has been received. A litttle late it is
true, but none the worse for that, as
like its predecessors it is an interesting
and readable number. Among other
articles it contains an original poem
"Old St. Paul's Church, Norfolk, Va."
by the editor, which is worthy of spe
cial reference.
The Weldon Roanoake News has
rounded up its 31st year of existence.
A pretty ripe age for a newspajier in
North Carolina to attain, ami what is
belter the News has a record of honor
and usefulness for every one of these
years. It is a clean, decent, dignified
paper and under the joint conduct of
John W. Sledge as editor and D. E
Stainback as associate it is a credit to
its town and crunty and an ever in
creasing source of pleasure and profit
to its large and appreciative constit
uency. May the Roanoake News go
on to h)ary old age and abundant
riches under its present management
than whom there are no cleverer or
more honorable and conscientuous
members of the profession.
iennessee has enacted a viry
stringent law against the sale of cigar
ettes, which has just gone into tffcct.
The law is very explicit. It prm-ides
that no cigarettes shall hereaiitr be
sold or otherwise disposed of in ihe
state of Tennessee. It prohibits the
bringing of cigarettes into the state. It
expressly forbids the sale of any imi
tation thereof, and also prohibits the
sale of cigarette papers. In this con
nection it is interesting to note that
the Supreme Court of West Virginia
renders a decision to the effect that
a law of this kind is against the spirit
of the Constitution and in violation of
the rules of inter State Commerce,
holding that all cigarettes and like
goods to be original packages when
handled as put up by the manufactur
ers. The Concord Standard has the
biggest fish story of the season.
Not content with one of the ortho
dox kind it deftly wea ves into its nar
rative a thrilling and romantic love
tale, the plot being laid, as it should
be, in North Carolina. It says: "A
young lady was engaged to be mar
ried but fell a prey to consumption.
They were by a creek when she told
her lover she did not expect to live
long and therefore must postpone the
marriage. He demanded his ring,
and finally did take it from her hand
and toss it into the stream. Some
lime after she was fishing in the same
stream and caught a cat fish and in its
gills she found the ring; placed it on
her finger and died with it there, while
her lover was in distant parts." This
entitles the Standard man to go up
head.
The steamer Alabama, of the Old
Bay Line, recently made a trip between
Baltimore and Old Point Comfort on
the Chesapeake Bay, which is one of
the fastest ever made on any inland
water in this country. The distance
is 175 miles, and including its allow
ances for a reduction of speed in the
Bait imore harbor, it was covered in S
hours and 5 1 minutes, an average of
nearly 20 miles an hour. The Ala
bama, which is one of the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company's fleet, was
the first large vessel built by the Mary
land Steel Company. She is of 2,000
tons, and is operated by a triple ex
pansion engine. She has a capacity
for 500 passengers, and is built of steel
throughout. On several occasions, the
Alabama has made runs on the Ches
apeake Bay, which averaged 1 S and
19 miles an hour.

HERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE.
A tobacco company in St. Louis,
Mo., is offering a series of cash prizes
for the best written editorial on the
culture of tobacco in that State. This
is an ingenious scheme to secure free
advertising for the firm and its partic
ular brand of tobacco. It remains to
be seen how many "soft marks" there
are in the newspaper business willing
to enter this "Grand Agricultural Cash
Prize I'ditoritorial Contest. " Press
and Printer.
There is no social objection to en
tering a contest of this kind if mis his
any assurance thit he will be regarded
in the event of leing a winner. If a
publisher did not have confidence in
his ability to write a g d articl.- he
should not undertake it. On the other
hand, if he believed he could ber off
the prize, and it was worth trying fur,
he might afford to make himself a "soft
mark" and do a little free advertising
on the basis of pay if a winner a loser
if not.
While on this subject we're remind
ed of a similar case: A couple of
years ago the management of the State
Fair offered prizes for the best written
editorial about the fair and the best
worded and best displayed advertise
ment of same. There were several
contestants, but if any body was a
winner the fact has escaped our notice,
although it.would seem that the com
mittee has had ample time to get to
gether and tender its decision.
We cannot believe this wasa scheme
to get something for nothing, and yet
the facts appear to be against us.
Ask the Sterling Remedy Company,
Indiana Mineaal Springs, to raise its
price. Columbia (Mo.) Country Ed

That's precisely what we did to
about three times their offer and
unless they come to our figures they'll
stay out of these columns at least.
THE CHARLOTTE FAIR.
The Bait tin ire Sun of Monday had
an interesting account, two colu.uns
in length, of the Women's Exposition
of the Carolinas, which has jiu been
opened in Charlotte. Editorially the
Sun speaks of it as "unique and ex
ceedingly creditable," and says:
All the planning and active w:rk of
preparation for this enterprise were
done by the ladies of Mecklenburg
county, and the result promises to be
not oniy highly satisfactory from an
educational standpoint, but to put
very large and beautiful feathers in
the caps of the energetic women con
nected with the affair. The exhibit
which they have brought together
would proe interesting and instructive
anywhere, and should attract visitors
from other sections, as well as from
North Carolina. In fact, people from
the North and East en route to Nash
ville, or whether en rotr.e to Nashvill;
or not, could not make a more enjoy
able excursion during this bright May
weather than to the charming and
beautiful little city of Charlotte, now
at its loveliest in the spring glory of
its wealth of roses, magnolias, shrubs
and magnificent oaks. A centre of
manufacturing, Charlotte is a prog
ressive little city, too, and is giving a
good account of herself in the matter
of industrial progress. Business men
as well as pleasure-seekers may learn a
thing or two by a trip to this attractive
and hustling city of the new South. If
they accomplished nothing more than
to become acquainted with the fair and
plucky women of Mecklenburg, they
would have reason to congratulate
tnemselves on making the trip.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY.
Beautiful, indeed, is that custom,
originated by Southern women, of
honoring the memory of the heroes
who rendered up their lives on the
altar of country in defense of the sacred
principle of liberty. No more touch
ing or appropriate expression of the
love we all feel for his noble sacrifice
could have been discovered than in
seeking his last resting place when na
ture puts on her tender robes of emer
ald and the soft air is fragrant with
the perfume of flowers, and there, as
the heart fills with emotion and dim
tears suffuse the eyes, lay the sweet,
tender emblems of reverence upon the
spot where sleeps in silent glory the
heroes who dared all and endured all
that brave and righteous men may, in
a cause which he then believed, and
we now know, to have been right.
This is a day of all others to stir the
hearts of the old veterans with sad yet
pleasing memories of the times that
tried men's souls and to bring before
their minds a panorama of "the mov
ing accidents by field and flod"
which for four years they endured;
and that time has not blunted their
sensibilities in that regard was amply
proved to-day by the number of vet
erans who attended the beautiful me
morial services and by the enthusiastic
interest taken in every feature of the
occasion. Year by year the gray
ranks grow thinner, but so long as the
heart is thrilled by noble actions and
brave deeds the memory of the Con
federate soldier is not likely to be
forgotten, and long after the last one
has passed to his final reward, yea,
until time itself shall be no more, his
memory will be embalmed in song and
in story, for the noble deeds of brave
men never die. Winston Journal.

A FATAL POLICY.
The following editorial article from
the Winston Daily Journal carries its
own comment:
The most fatal policy ever pursued
by a community is one of selfishness.
Any man who succeeds in any place
in most cases draws his success from
that place. If he succeeds the argu
ment is almost conclusive that he owes
much to th- community, and yet ho.v
easy it is f r iuui p delude himself
into the beliei that h:s success is pe
culiarly his own and could have been
made anywhere. Bot waiving that
theory of the case, a,nd for the sake of
argument assuming that such is true,
and placing the matter upon a purely
selfish bisis, h- owes a great deal to
his town. For i;is;an:e, a man m any
business amasses $50,000 in a town of
10,000 people. He spends 510,000
of that in securing new industries that
increase the population, add to the
wealth of the place, and thereby aug
ment the demand for what he manu
factures or 'rus f r sale. Are not the
chances betier u make money in this
enlarged spneie thn they were in tne
narrow sphere?
Now, to apply this to ourselves.
There is not sufficient diversity in our
industries. We need small enterprises
that will employ labor, and the right
kind of Ubor, and by this we mean a
clas of workmen who will consume
wholesome food, and wear substan
tial clothes. There are openings
her- at the present time for a number
of small manufacturing concerns that
could be made to pay from the start.
Our city sister of Charlotte owes her
success and prosperity to the fact that
her citizens have grasped these very
opportunities that we are neglecting,
and every man in the place works as
a unit for the upbuilding of the town.
STRONG ON TOBACCO.
North Carolina is said to rank sec
ond in the Union in the production of
tobacco, Kentucky having first place.
The statistics, compiled from reliable
sources are:
North Carolina last year had 134,
576 acres in tobacco; Kentucky h-d
196,745 acres. Njrtli Carolina made,
in 1896, 68,024,470 pounds; Ken
tucky, 143,623,850 p junds. Value of
N irth Carolina crop, $5,590,354; of
the Kentucky crop, 56,030,202. Av
erage price in North Carolina, 8 cents
pir pound; in Kentucky, 4j4 cents
p;r pound.
Therefore it will be seen that while
Kentucky outranks North Carolina in
the amount of tobacc produced,
North Caiolina excels her in the
value of the product. Davidson Dis

GRAND OLD NORTH CAROLINA.
North Carolina is a grand State. Its
physical beauty will compare favor
ably with any State in the Union. If
her towering mountains are not per
petually covered with snow, they are
clothed in a gorgeous drapery which
pleases the eye and fascinates the
soul. Her rivers are deep and navi
gable, and abound in every species of
fish from the mountain trout to the
low land pike. The hills and moun
tain sides of North Carolina are full of
iron, coal, gold and other metals so
essential to the prosperity and happi
ness of mankind. The soil of North
Carolina is adapted to the cultivation
of all kinds of grains and vegetables,
and cotton and tobacco can be raised
here with the greatest degree of suc
cess. The grand old State lies in the
very heart of the great temperate zone,
and therefore we have one of the finest
climates on the face of the globe. Our
atmosphere is pure, sweet, soft and
balmy, and the wandering Italian,
with harp and violin, can almost
imagine that the gentle zephrys of
Italy are blowing upon him as he
wends his way over the bills and dales
of fair Carolina and discourses native
songs and melodies to the people who
never forget to throw their cents and
nickels into the hands of the way-faring
man who may be as grum as the
grizzly bear he leads around, and is
as filthy as the monkey who smokes
the pipe and collects the fare. North
Carolina is just developing into a great
manufacturing state, and when the
present financial crisis passes away as
a thick cloud, modern loomsand more
ponderous machinery will tell the
whole civilized world that the old
North State is keeping pace with the
advancing civilization and progress of
the world. Fair Bluff Times.

useless "local treatment," so dreaded by
modest women. The book contains the
most comprehensive explanation of human

Losses In The Late War.
MORE FACTS WITH REFERENCE TO THE
GALLANT 26TH.
Cel. W. H. S. Burgwyn Gives Facts
and Figures That are Well Authen
ticated as to its Prowess.
(News and Observer.)
To the Editor: In your interesting
editorial of the 5th iust., on ''Teach
ing North Carolina's part in the war,"
you stale "The greatest loss buffered
by any regiment on either side in any
one battle was that of th 2Cth N. C, at
Gettysburg, commanded by Col. Harry
Burgwyn, I'ettigrew's Brigade, Hcth's
Division. It lost 588 meu. In one
company of 84 men every man and of
ficer was 1iit." The above is true &o
far as it goes, but Prof. Howell has
omitted the losses the regiment met
with in the third day's fight. The
losses he puts down were sustained iu
the first clay's battle. On the third
day, I'ettigrew's Brigade, notwith
standing the dreadful havoc of the firtt
day, was again put in the front rauk,
uot as a support to Pickett, remember,
and its shattered ranks penetrated as
far if not farther than those of any
other command and the loss was agaiu
appalling. The 52nd N. C, regiment
of the Brigade commanded by its heroic
Col. J. K. Marshal had both its Col
onel and Major killed, aud the other
regiments suffered in like proportion.
The 2Gth lost 120 meu out of the 240,
taken into action, making total loss of
the regiment in the two days' fighting
708 men of the total 800 rauk and file
before the battle. Co. F. had 91 men
instead of 84 for duty on the first day
of which every mau was killed or
wounded. It will not be forgotten that
on the retreat from Gettysburg, I'etti
grew's Brigade was given the post of
honor as part of the rear guard of the
army, alid at Falling Waters while
protecting the ford across the Potomac
at that point, this Brigade was attacked
by cavalry and its beloved commander,
Petligrew, killed. Let Prof. Howell
revise his figures for there is now no
question as to the accuracy of those
given above.
Col. Fox, of Albauy, X. Y., in his
book "Kegimental losses iu the Civil
War" is authority for the same and in
a recent address by Mr. C. II. Mc
Connell, of Chicago, 111., delivered in
that city before the Western Society of
the Army of the Potomac, he gives
them as well authenticated. Mr. Mc
Couuell was a private in the 24th
Michigan regiment of the celebrated
lion Biigade, which was attacked by
I'ettigrew's Brigade in the first day's
fight. He says hit regiment wae at
tacked by the 2(th X. C. I quote a
few lines from Mr. McConnelt's ad
dress: "The 24th Michigan had
mainly to contend with the direct fire
of I'ettigrew's Brigade of North Caro
linians, (and the Carolinians were the
fighters of the Confederacy) and espe
cially of that magnificent lighting reg
iment of 800 heroes, the 20th North
Carolina, whose loss in the battle of
Gettysburg, both in numbers, 08, aud
percentage 881, was the greatest ever
recorded 111 warfare, even down to the
present lime of breech loading rifles.
and rapid firing guns." I would like
to have McConnell's address printed
in full, but he wishes it first to appear
in a Northern magazine.
Excuse me for calliug attention to
this omission in Prof. Howell's com
pendium. If we make an error in our
glorious record how can we expect that
it will not be perpetuated by others less
interested?
Yours truly,
Wm. II. S. Bcrowyx.

The Protectionist Performance.
The following is a part of ex-Congressman
John De Witt Warner's criti
cism of the Dingley bill:
"As it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors in
the Fifty-first congress. The McKiuley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
'a bill to reduce revenues. ' The Dingley
bill is specially commended as a revenue
getter. The McKinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor man's free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar
-a single item of the breakfast table
one-third of the total umount of the
tariff tax proposed. The items which
are supposed to help the farmer are good
examples of so setting your trap as to
'cotch 'em a-cumin and a-gwine. ' For
instance, we have reciprocity in order
to give the farmers a market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce
for home consumption unless they are
highly protected, as is done by another
section of the bill. "
