What Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Who Is a Regular Visitor to This Charm ing Place of Ease, and Rest, and Recreation Says About it An Ad vertisement Money Couldn't Buy. (Charlotte Observer.) In the Pinehurst Outlook for last month there is a beautiful letter to its editor from the venerable Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, who has spent some weeks at Pine hurst each two yearcs past. The editor says that after his hard winter's work in Boston he comes down "into the woods and refreshes himself by preaching each Sunday, dedicating a church now and then, making addresses and reading his stories for various good causes, and filling up their intervals with writing the numerous books, lectures and literary articles which he always has on hand." Speaking of his last visit to the pine woods of Moore county, Dr. Hale writes to The Outlook editor the following letter, which would be worth its space on account of its fresh, attractive style, if there were nothing else to commend it: Ever since that I have been say ing to tired people, and people who have notes to meet, "why don't you go to Pinehurst? At Pinehurst," I have said, "there is no care. At. Pinehurst you do iust as vou choose. At Pinehurst you simply breathe sweet air and drink pure water under the blue sky and meet pleas ant people, and you do not know that there is any worry in the world. Why do you not sell all that you have and with the money buy tickets to rineuurst." 1 geueraily say that they cost fifteen dollars "and a half apiece; I am not quite sure whether this is true, but I hope it is because I have said so often. I generally say also that it is no matter about return tickets, because they will never want to come back aain. Simply and really, my recollection of Pinehurst is of a place where no body worried me, where I was not afraid of anybody, where I wanted to get out of bed when I woke in the morning, and wanted go -to bed when it?carae to be half past 9 at night. Is not this, perhaps, the method of the next century? If one were to imagine an ideal home, would he not sav that it was a place where the drainage had been arranged first and the water supply second and the light for the night third, and the houses fourth, and what you ate and drink last? Would he not say there was a nice postollice and postmistress and a nice shop with nice people to keep the shop, and that you bought things cheaper than you ever bought anything in your life before, and there was a nice room to snend the lg in, with a lecture or a con cert or a stereopticon? And would not this describe Pinehurst? This is what I say to the outside people. Now, No. 2. There is an inside aristoc racy at the North. Ihis consists of the people who have been at Pine hurst. Those are the highest in rank they are a sort of dukes who have been there three years. The maniuises and barons come next; they have been there two years. And then come the baronets and knights, and they are the people who have been there one year. You meet them all with a sort of Freemason grasp; you have a wink ot tne eye which says, "We have been to Pine hurst, and nobody else has! We know all about it." And these peo ple ask how Mr, Hodgln's peaches are getting on, aud they ask about the McNeills and the McFarlands and the McGregors, and they ask what has been going on in the Village Hall. They ask if Mr. Everett is there, or Mr. Beale is there, and how long Mr. Tufts stays. Then you turn round and say to them: "Why are you freezing in Boston? Why are you not in Pine hurst?" Then they say that the war has come on and that they are afraid stocks will fall or that a Spanish frigate will bombard a country resi dence at Little Boar's Head. Then a fool If you r0 j will be no Spanish you say: "You are to Pinehurst there will be no ;pa frigates, and you will forget all about stocks, and, in short, enter into life there as you do not anywhere else."

At the Democratic jubilee in Raleigh when the glorious victory for white supremacy and good Gov errnent was fittingly celebrated, Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chirman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, gave a brief history of the campaign, in which among other things, as re ported by the News and Observer, we find this: "Mr. Simmons declared that the people of the State had made the interests of the smallest county or town their interests. Of the cam paign, as conducted by him, he said; " 'I djd not send out a single state ment that had not been verified. The Democrats had no resort to falsehood. The fusionists resorted to every act of chicanery and misrepresentation. They began by a vicious assault on me and ended by sending out lies by telegraph. We will faithfully per form every pledge we have made. For corruption we will substitute incorruption ; for extravagance we will give economy, and replace in comptency with competence. What shall we do with the negro? We will do what is just and fair. The Demo crats intend that the negro shall know his place. To-day, as always, the Democrat is his best friend. We will do all we can to promote his best interest, but by the eternal gods he shall not rule over white men. This victory is not my victory, nor the victory of any man or class of men, but of the great white manhood of North Carolina. We owe the victory to the fact that the white women of the State were on our side and every high influence was cast in our favor. At the beginning and the end the ministry of the State ex tended its hands in benediction over us. Was any fusion meeting opened or closed with prayer? They know their cause was such that the Great Father would not answer their prayers for blessing upon it. I re joice because North Carolina, escap ing the dangers that threatened her, has been redeemed from shame and disgrace. ' " The Concealed Weapon Law. (Charlotte Observer.) It was stated in our Raleigh cor respondence that Attorney General Walser in his report to the Legisla ture will recommend that the carry ing of concealed weapons be made a felony instead of a misdmeanor. If anything at all is done with that law it should, instead of being made more stringent, be repealed. Its practical results are exactly the con trary of those intended. It disarms the lawabiding citizen and leaves him at the mercy of the lawless. There is no person who is criminal at heart who pays the slightest heed to it; it restrains none of this class. But above aud beyond that, it violates the spirit of our institutions. It is no more the business of the law to say that a man shall not carry a Pistol in his pocket than it isto say that he shall not carry an rrisu po tato. It has the right to hold him re5pon:l Jo ror 'ts improper use, but natural right and the law for- ir, is a bidding his carrying it is an unwar- rautable iuvasion oi nis peisuuai . i 1 . 1 l.rtrm nurtv This iiDenv us far invaded when the citizen is for hi nistol and his doin" so is made a misdemeanor -ri..'nicitnri will hardly hear i . sucrrestioa that the offence be made a felony.

Democrats 95 Fusionists 25 Total 120 Yellow Journalism on Poor Whites and Negroes. (Charlotte Observer.) The admirers of the New York Journal in these parts will orobablv be interested in a few lines from one of its recent editorials discussing the race troubles of week before last in North Carolina and Southern race troubles generally. They follow: "lhe primary cause of these dis turbances is not 'ineradicable1 race prejudice, but greed, lust for office and abominable self-conceit. "The negro of the South has de veloped wonderfully well during the few years since his emancipation, and in some instances he stands to day on a higher moral and mental plane than the poorer classes of the white people. "In spite of the obstacles that have been thrown in his wav. he has per sistently forged ahead, and wherever i i i , , , . . neiping nanu nas Deen extended, his progress nas been wondrously rapid. "If this generation still finds him too weak to cope with arrogance and brutality of his white neighbors, in the next he will doubtless be able to assert his rights." We do not know that this calls for any comment from us, in view of the following comment which the Rich mond Times submits: "When the State of North Carolina was overrun by the negro party. when the whites were subjected to all sorts of indignities, when negro ism was rampant, not one word of comfort, not one word of support did our Carolina brethren receive from this paper that had been stalk ing around so lately as their friend and champion. It was willing to re lease the people of North Carolina from the alleged slavery to the money power, but when it came to aiding them in throwing off the yoke of negro rule the Journal vouchsafed no word of friendly encouragement. , .''And now that the battle has been the South-haters are denouncing the whites of North Carolina for meeting the emergency in the only way that it could be met, this same New York Ulc iLur;rt u . , Journal, this same leader of the new Democracy in 1896, this great friend of the Southern people, has the au dacity, the insolence to draw an in vidious distinction between the blacks and the whites, to champion the cause of the negro, and to say that in some portions of the Carolinas 'he stands to-day oh a higher moral and mental plane than the poorer classes of the white people."1 It all goes to show that there are no circumstances under which you can tie to a yellow journal.

Andrew Carnegie Opposes Policy of Territorial Aggression Thinks Im perialism Would Bring Expansion of Trouble and Expense but Not Ex pansion of Trade. Andrew Carnegie, whose business perspicacity none will dispute, does not favor the "imperial11 policy of the United States; ho thinks it will ,'set every one of the powers to study oi tne question from a new stand point," and speaks of the increased cost in maintaining a standing army. Asked if he thought that territorial expansion would bring expansion in trade, he replied: "No, not by any means; barbarians are no customer, civilized people are the consumers of our products.11 We suggest, in regard to the latter expression, that it is the develop ment of our new acquisitions by American immigration from which the imperialists expect most; but it does not follow, even in this view, that the returns would justify the cost. The Anglo-Saxon from time immemorial has always spread him self wherever he could ret a foothold: and, if there was any opposition to it, he would probably spread himself over Greenland, as he has already spread himself over the Klondike country and Labrador. India has been a source of vast revenue to the British; and it may be that a country so rich as Cuba, Porto Rico, or the rrniinpines oe made to yield rich re turns to the people of this .country. Still, there is the objection of its com plicating us with foreign powers; and there is the further1, objection that we shall go on annexing until we find ourselves inTpossession of a regular job-lot, a junk-shop of na tionalities which we shall have to protect and develop, but whose ad ministration cannot be managed on principles of Statehood. The United States is in position of a federation of States, indivisible and nation alized, not calculated to absorb other nationalities except through the gateway of Statehood. We can, of course, hold land and administer law in conquered or purchased territory in some fashion; but the day will come when we must frame these acquisitions into sover eign States and invest therewith every privilege of Statehood. It is very true that Florida was purchased from Spain, and Louisiana from France,, and that a vast territory West was practically won by con quest from Mexico. But all this territory was contiguous to existent portions of the United States, and our people overflowed into them, as it were, paving the way to integral American States. Here, on the other! hand, are old nationalities, older in deed as Governments than most or all of the present American States, and widely differing from them in institutions, manners, and point of view. Will it not be long, indeed, before these will become truly in tegral and homogeneous parts of the American union? Florida, Louisiana, and Texas were speedily over-run by men generally of Anglo-Saxon lineage, and States blossomed into being quiet naturally; but will this be the case with islands like Cuba and Porto Rico, which have existed so long under entirely different forms of Gov ernment, and with a different lan guage? Some people fancy a Gov- ernment can do anything. The Gov ernment of the United States was called into being for the protection and general betterment of its own people, and with no ulterior purpose whatever. But here, on the thres hold of the twentieth century, with no very great exertion of our part, we find ourselves in possession of a vast territory in the Northwest, Alaska, a rich island in the Caribbean sea, and another at our mercy, and a large group of islands in the Pacific to the North, with the Hawaiian group in the South. It may be the very best thing in the world for the people of these lands to boast of so powerful and generous a protector; but what of the protector himself? Where does his real ad vantage come in? Indeed, it begins to look as if we had gone into the national founding-hospital business for aye. Acquisition is alluring, and ap parent accquisition is frequently race. If we were not, our flag would, not float as it does from the Arctic circle to degrees below the Tropic of Cancer. But it is a good thing, in national as in individual enterprise, tn know where to stop. We all know the old motto of "too many irons in the fire.1' but we aoolv it only to business. We might apply it to na tional aquisition as well. A man undertakes to carry on two or three rliffprpnt. kinds of business at one ! time, because he has succeeded in ! one. Possibly a successfnl merchant ! pets hold of a paper on a mortasrage, or a farm, or a machine shop. When 1 he is most deeply absorbed in prob- ' lpm Tertaininjr to his first and most i familiar concern in life, there comes i an imperative call to break off and ' decide some knotty point with refer- ence to the second business, j We have our doubts that Uncle 1 Sam is fitted to be a Jack of all trades, and we are strongly inclined I to endorse Mr.Carnegie's forebodings i without reservation. The war taught i us the lesson that it is of the least ': importance that the people of this ! country should mix. The people. : North and South, who most speedily ! came together in business and ! society after the arbitrament of Ap- pomattox were, notoriously, the snnnest to forget all the old sores and become the best of personal friends. The war. indeed, would never have occurred if distance had nnt. led to misunderstandmfr. ow - ; we are all one, and a very happy i family; but wo must fain adopt perfect medley of races, Chinese, Japanese, liawaiians in Hawaii, Lhinooks, all sorts in Alaska, Jrilipmos in the Orient, and mixed breeds in the Antilles. Shall we strengthen the Republican frame work of our Government bv grafting on so many insecure planks and scantlings? We cannot help think ing Mr. Carnegie hits the bull's eye The Negro as a Soldier. (Richmond Times.) Because of the stupid lack of fore thought of some former Virginia Leg islatures, the Gorernor of this Com monwealth found himself with two battalions of negro troops on his hands at the breaking out o? the re cent war, fully equipped and com missioned. These negroes ought never to have been authorized by the Virginia Legislatures and our former Governors to wear the cloth of the Virginia militia and bear arms, but, having these arms in their hands aud commissions in their pockets, the Governor did the right thing to turn them over bodily to the Federal Government to do with as it pleased. Lieutenant-Colonel Croxton, a West Point graduate, was put in charge of this battalion. He found his officers inefficient. He asked for an exam ining board. The officers resigned rather than submit to the mortifica tion of exposing their ignorance of military law and tactics. The Gov ernor then appointed competent and well attested white officers to take charge of these negro companies. There was a wild mutiny on the part oi inese negroes. It would have been a God-send for all time to come if they had been punished severely for such defiance of law, and for such malicious mutiny. Because of the unpleasant and disagreeable nature of their assignment the young white officers have resigned. The negro chuckles with glee. There is talk of mustering him out. Of this we do not care. It would be better to re buke such mutiny and sullenness and send them to the most distant and disagreeable duties that the Federal government can pick out for them. let us all rest as sured, that no negro again shall ever bear a commission from the State of "r: : : :i:.: i ut will not train up such people to bear aims in tut; ouruera ui una voiumoii- wealth. Pains in the chest when a person has a cold indicate a tendency toward pneumonia. A piece of flannel dampened with Cham berlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the chest over the seat of pain will promptly relieve the pain and prevent the threatened attack of pneumonia. The same treatment will cure a lame back in a few hours. .Sold by Dorsey Drug Co. Outspoken For White Rule. The following letter from Governor Joseph F. Johnston was printed in the New Yoak Herald of recent dale: To the Editor of the Herald: Every attempt to submit the peo ple of any State or locality in the South to the domination of the negro will end in revolution, either peace ful or bloody. It is best for both races that tne white people should control. Any interference by the Federal Government in the internal affairs of the States can only excite resentment and increase discord. The people of North Carolina and South Carolina are as capable of at tending to their own affairs as the people of any other State. It would seem to be quite as proper to con sider whether the Federal Govern ment should not interfere in Illinois. The expectation of Federal interfer ence has brought enougti disaster to the colored people, and it seems to me that it is about time for it to be understood that all the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of the nation are not confined to any sec tion.
