THE BATTLE OF ELIZABETHTOWN.
An Important but Little Known Event
in the History of North Carolina
During the Revolutionary War.
TIim following; very inten'Ktinjr ami
infoiiiiiiio; liistorical jkijkt was writ
ti'ii lv our youiir Townsman Mr.
William H. .Shaw, Jr.. son of Captain
am! Mrs. V. It. Shaw, and published
in the V;ike Forest Student of Feb
ruary: About t liet ime of Corn wall is" manli
through North Carolina. 1TH1, after
his defeat at (Juilfonl Court House,
there was a eivil war jroinjr n in tlie
Caje Fear region ltwen Patriot
ami Tory.
It is well to remeinlwr that the
Tories of North Carolina consisted of
two classes of far different character
and motive. Farly in the war the
S'-otch Highlanders, from perfectly
honorable motives, the sacredness
of an oath but recently taken, had
remained attached to the Royal
cause. These, however, were defeated
at Moore's Creek Iridv early in the
wa r and t heir act i vity wasdest roved.
The Tories that were now causing
trouble in the Cape Fear region were
of a far different type. It was that
Tory, heartless and without princi
ple, caring not for his honor or the
welfare of his colony, turning ajrainst
his fellowinan, who brought on this
civil war in the State, in which neigh
bor was arrayed against neighbor.
KM.a Iwt hdown, a small village ! in
Itladen county, on the Cape Fear
Itiver. had been established by the
Itritishat Wilmint on as au outpost,
and was in command of ( 'ol. St inj;sby.

111 i ne win1, (ici'iiiiiii at nrst id ac
ce)l a commission, hut was finally in
ilui ed to take charge of the Tories in
I.i unswii k and Itladen counties.
From this fair region of the Cape
Fear, which had loni- been the seat of
many elegant homes and cultured
families, many Whiji- households were
driven into the upper counties for
refuse by these merciless Tories who.
encourajred by the British under
Major Craiji'. then in Wilmington.

Of urse. the Whhrs did not look
on with actiuiescence. Thouj-h their
number was few onlv one hundred
and eig hty men in the whole commun
ity they banded together to rid
themselves of t hese unfrieiidl v neiuh-
bors. Withthe fearful odds of five or
ten to one, they adhered to their
principles with heroic firmness, and
lid rood service in the cause ol free
dom. Col. Thomas Brown, the reni-
ar commanding officer, had been
wounded in a skirmish with the Itrit-
ish regulars near Wilmington onlv a
short time ln-fore, and was unable to
continue m act lve. service. I ol. Kobe-
son, at the request of the wounded
officer, took command. Feelinir too
weak to attack the Tories in a body.
or in anv wav to nvenire tlie wronjrs
thev were dailv sufferiii"" from these
remorseless marauders, thev rieti-
t ioned (lovernor Burke to send aid,
but to no purpose. At last, after
lurking around in the swamps enrry-ini-
on a kind of "uerrilla warfare,
they set out with Col. Robeson, as
their leader, to secure the assistance
of their fellow-Whijrs in the upper
count les.
Thev marched through Duplin,
Johnston. Wake, Chatham and Cum
berland counties, telling everywhere
ot the distressing condition oi their
families at home, and beriinr the
men to join them in their undertak
ing. Thoiijih they were kindly re-
cei veu in everv iiem unoriiooii. not a
sinji'le man could be induced to leave
his family and march against such a
man as Stinesby and his Tories.
This wasdishearteninjr to these brave
sons of liberty, still, with Spartan
com aiie. t hey marched on from house
to house and village, until at last,
after a steady march of six weeks,
thev turned their faces homeward.
(in reaching Duplin, Col. RoIh'sou
found that out of the one hundred
and eighty men with whom he had
left the Cape Fear region, he only had
seventy-one, and these half naked.
But still they did not rive up. He
now tailed his little band together,
ami after stating his determination
to return and d,-ive out these wicked
Tories, called on every man that was
willing- to lollow lum m tins desper
ate undertaking to step to the front
At the word every man save one
came forward, fired by the purpose of
riddinjr the country of this enemy.
These seventy men were nl! mount
ed and enuipped with arms, but their
horses were mere skeletons, while
they themselves were raided and
without a change of clothinjr, and
but little ammunition. So equipped.
this small band, early one morning.
set out to rive battle to the saint
four hundred Tories, whom six. weeks
aro. when the difference in their num-
liers were not half so rreat. they felt
too weak to encounter. Their march
lav throuirh a country already laid
waste bv the enemy and onlv occu
pied by a few unfriendly inhabitants.
Thus thev continued for two day
with nothinsr to oat. ami tlve horses
onlv eatimr what rrass they could
rather by the road side as the com
pany stopped for rest. Finally, on
the eveninjr of the2Sth of Septemlor.
as the sun was sinkinjr, they came to
the bank of the (ape Pear, just op
posite the little village of Ehzalteth
town.
Here thev halted to await the set-
timr of the moon. This occurred lust
lefore day. and Col. Robeson lran
to nut his men in motion. One man
was left to take care of the horses
while the sixtv-nine. undressed and
holdimr their tlothiiur and arms we!
above their heads, waded the river
which was about breast deep. Hav
intr successfully crossed the river they
resumed their clothinr and prepared j
for action. They found themselves
in a narrow cane bottom. This was
skirted by the road,, just beyond
which was the Tory camp. Separat
ing themselves into three companies,
with the stillness of death, they beran
to approach the camp from three
directions at the same time. The
signal of attack was to be thefirinjr
of the first run by a Tory sentinel.
Then the orderwas for each company
to advance, and at the command of
its leader fire into the body of sur
prised Tories and fall back to reload.
"Stand! Who roes t here?" was the
cry of the Tory sentinel as the little
company of twenty-three men ad
vanced like a dark shadow. The sen
tinel then, firing his ;un into the air,
fied into thi woods. In an instant
the Whigs rushed up from every side
and poured a volley into the midst of
the surprised Loyalists, which threw
them into complete disorder.
It was a dark niyht, and nothing
could be seen save the flash of the
Whigs guns as they poured volley
after volley into the rudely aroused
Tories who, thoroughly surprised by
the attack, were rushing to and fro in
amazement, seeking some place for
refuge. Col. Stingsby, in trying to
rally his men to action, was mortally
wounded. His fall completed the
panic already begun bv the first vol
ley. Everything seemed to favor the
Whigs; even their watchword did no
little service. As true patriots they
had chosen the word 'Washington."
Thev were attacking in the dark, and
in three companies, therefore had
much occasion to shout it from rank
torank and man to man. The Tories
in their panic, thinking the "Father
of his country" was upon them with
all of his host, fled from the field;
some were lost in the surrounding
woods, wliile many rushed headlong
into a deep ravine, now famous as
the "Tory Hole."
When the battle was over and the
victory won. the day was beginning
to dawn. Seventeen of the Tories,
among whom was their brave leader,
were found on the field, but none of
the Whigs were killed and only four
were wounded. The Patriots sup
plied themselves with all the arms
and ammunition they could carry
and returned in triumph to the op
posite side of the river. Then they
marched across Colly swamp, where
they encamped. Thus the power of
the Tories was completely broken,
and they never made headway in
that section of the country again.
This little battle has been alto
gether neglect ed by the historians of
the Revolution. It is true that itwas
principally of local interest, yet dur
ing all this renowned struggle no
more heroic attack was made, or bat
tle gained against greater odds.

WHY ROOSEVELT SNUBBED MILES
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
The brusque refusal of Roosevelt
and Root to either consider or make
public the plan of General Nelson A.
Miles for ending hostilities in the
Philippines, has not left a good taste
in the mouth of the countrv. The
reason gien for pitching Miles' plan
in the waste-basket and snubbing the
General of the Army was so absurdly
at variance with the facts, the con
viction is forced upon one that there
was more or less of politics at the
bottom of it all.
The countrv was informed that
Roosevelt and Root regard the war as
"over or practically over!"' There
fore, why consider any plan other
than that of bloody and relentless re
pression? What the country would
ike to know, however, is what 50,000
soldiers are being kept in the Philip
pines for, if the war is over? Why
should such a force be necessary if
the Filipinos are snuggling up to the
while dove of peace and the program
of benevolent assimilation?
The fact is that Roosevelt refused
to consider the plan of General Miles
because to have done so would have
been equivalent to a confession that
the Republican policy in the Philip
pines has been a grisly blunder ana
that the Republican administration
has been guilt v of deliberate, repeat
ed misrepresentation of conditions in
the islands. or was that all. Had
Miles succeeded in pacifying the
Philippines, he would have convicted
the administration of imbecile man
agement of tbe situation, with disas
trous consequences to the Republican
partv. In short, the administration
prefers war with all its horrors to any
peace for which the Republican party
would not be able to claim the credit.

A GOOD SIQN.
GoldsbDro Argus.
In this high pressure, money-getting
age, principle and sentiment are
i in danger or being minimized, but
munificent benefactions are still in
evidence, showing that the spirit of
sordiness has not possessed the minds
of the rich to the extent that cynics
predicted.
But one of the best signs of the
times is not the tendency of multi
millionaires to give millions to found
universities and libraries, but the
more modest benefaction helping in
the aggregate to advance intellectual
endeavor and at the same time erect
memorials to departed worth.
,Jl notable case in point is the me
morial fund in honor of a noble edu
cator, who kad also served his coun
try with conspicuous ability in the
halls of Congress for twenty years
William L. Wilson who died about a
year ago, while he was filling the
presidency of Washington and Lee
University, at Lexington, Va. Mr.
Wilson was perhaps the foremost
man of his day in the apprehension
and discussion of American politico
economics. He was a Democrat to
the core, and his idea of the tariff as
a government or party policy were
not approved by Republicans, "but no
man commanded more fully the re
spect and admiration of high-minded
and thoughtful Republicans than Mr.
Wilson. It is gratifying and signifi
cant then to see Republicans as well
as Democrats, under the chairman
ship of Grover Cleveland, contribut
ing to the fund for the endowment of
a school of economics at Washington
and Lee as a memorial to the dead
statesman and publicist.
And another stimulating fact about
this Wilson fund is that not only have
Republicans joined with Democrats in
making up the large amount of $100,
000, but tbe contributions have been
largely from men of moderate means.
Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Whitney, Mr.
Rockefeller and a few others have
written their names each for 5, 000.
The amount needed is now almost all
in hand, and with the exception of
about thirty thousand dollars the
subscriptions have come in sums of
$25 or $50, and as men of nearly
every Mate in the Union are repre
sented on the list of this hundred
thousand gift, it may well be called
popular.
Tokens of sentiments such as this
certainly negative the cry of the
cynic.
Neglect Means Danger.
Don't neglect biliousness and constipa
tion. Your health will suffer permanently
if you do. I)e Witt's Little Early Risers
cure such cases. M. B. Smith. Buttermilk,
Mich., says: "DeWitt's Little Early Risers
are the most satisfactory pills I ever took."

JUDGE CLARK AND
TION.
THE OPPOSI-
Murphy Democrat.
Judge Clark seems to have some real
opposition in this State. Whether it w ill
be sufficient to defeat him remains to be
seen. Waynesville Courier.
We are not of the number opposing
Judge Clark's nomination, but we do
hope, and all of Judge Clark's friends
should hope, that he will have op
position sufficient to fully demon
strate the truth or falsity of charges
recently made against him. The
man who is nominated for any office,
and especially that of the hightest
judicial office in the State, by the
Democratic party, should be a man so
well qualified for the place in every
respect that every Democrat can
cheerfully vote for him. If Judge
Clark is not the man for the place,
now, before the convention, is tbe
time to make the discwrery. For the
party to do as some suggested: allow
judge Clark to be nominated without
opposition, and, as before planned,
place an independent candidate in
the field, would be far from honor
able, according to our standard of
honor. We think that. . after tbe
warning that has been given, if
Judge Clark is allowed to be nomi
nated without opposition in the con
vention, that of itself is vindication
and evidence that there is more
smoke than tire in the present talk
against him.
The Democratic party should make
the nominations so. prudently and so
wisely that North Carolina soil will
not be congenial to independent can
didates. The Thrust of a Lance
is scarcely more agonizing than the recur
rent pains in the abdomen which follow the
eating of improper food or too free indul
gence in ice-water. The immediate cause
of cramps and colic is often the distention of
the bowels by gas. (tnck relief follows the
use of Pain-Killer. Careful housekeepers
give it the place of honor in the family
medicine chest.
A Word to Farmers.
A friend suggests that the follow
ing which was published in the Gold
Leaf a few weeks ago should be re
printed: Plant fewer acres, manure highly
and cultivate well and raise your
own supplies at home. That is tbe
secret of successful farming whether
you aepena upon tooacco, coiion
grains or grasses as a money crop.
And under present conditions of
scarcity and unreliability of labor it
is all the more necessary to adopt the
intensive system of farming. Com
mercial fertilizers are all right but
do not depend upon them entirely.
Use plenty of barnyard manure, com
post, swamp muck, ditchbank rakings,
woodsmould and the like something
to give body and permanency to tbe
fertility of tbe soil. And then green
manure tbe land in addition. Sow
clover, peas. rye. etc., and turn the
growth under in its green state.
This method intelligently pursued
for a few years would work a wender
ful transformation in many a poor
and almost profitless old field.
No man is more cheated than the
selfish man. Henry Ward Beecher.
MR. BOK ON THE AMERICAN FATHER.
He Thinks the Average Mas of Family
dives loo Utile Time to His Chil
dren. Edward Bok, in Ladies' Unme Journal.
Is it right to the child that sees and
knows so little of his father? Is all
this commercial strife worth the price
of a child being almost a stranger to
his own father? Men are sometimes
surprised that their children go in
stinctively to their mothers, and so
little to them. But aside from the
natural instinct which draws every
child to his mother, why should the
fact cause any wonder? A child at
taches himself to those who give him
the most attention, to the one who
joins him in his play. And if, as so
many fathers do, a man places busi
ness first in his life all during the
week, and buries himself in those
modern curses, the Sunday news
papers, on" the day when he is at
home, what can be expected from his
child? It is a case of the child not
seeing the father during the week,
and the father not seeing the child on
Sunday. Anianiuust.be the wage
earner and the family supporter.
That is the duty laid out for him.
But when this is accomplished is it
worth his while to push on into tbe
commercial maze at tbe expense of
the sweetening that should come into
the life of every man? In short, what
prolitelh it a man suppose he gain
the whele world and not know his
own child?

HENRY CLAY EVANS.
Noifolk Virginian-Pilot.
Again the pension grafters are
after the scalp of Henry Clay Evans,
Commissioner of Tensions. They
are urging upon President Roosevelt
the appointment of one of the two
ex-Congressmen from Kansas in his
place. It is now history that the late
President McKinley not always as
resolute against spoilsmen as the
country could have desired stood by
Evans unflinchingly and resolutely
refused to retire him or to consider a
resignation generally supposed to
have been quietly tendered.
We cannot believe that Uoesevclt
will follow any other course or that
he will sacrifice the one courageous
and efficient Pension Commissioner
of recent years, to the insatiate,
greedy clamor of the patriots for
profit, whose fraudulent attempts on
the treasury he has frustrated; and
who, with unparalleled impudence,
have been assailing him on that ac
count. Mr. Evans is a Southern Republican
and about the only one connected in
any important capacity with the pres
ent administration of whom his
party and his section have any cause
to be proud. He is a man of the
highest standing in his own Slate,
Tennessee, and in his present posi
tion he has won the respect and con
fidence of the country, regardless of
party, bo far as our observation has
gone, there is not a newspaper of the
country, Democratic, Republican or
Mugwump, whose opinions are en
titled to respect, that has not ap
proved of Mr. Evans1 administration
of the Pension Office. This is a sing
ular distinction, but it has been fairly
won and is thoroughly deserved.
Qood for Rheumatism.
Last fall I was taken with a very severe
attack of muscular rheumatism which
caused me great pain and annoyance.
After trying several prescriptions and rheu
matic cure, I decided to use Chamberlain's
Pain Balm which I had seen advertised in
the South Jersey man. After two applica
tions of this Remedy i was much better,
and after using one bottle, was completely
cured. Sallie Harris, Salem, Ji. J. For

STILL ROASTING ROOSEVELT.
Wilmington Messenger
Tbe newspapers are still making it
hot for Roosevelt because of his fool
ish freak in referring to the Southern
oeoDle who fotijrht tbe "North as
1 l rj
anarchists. It wa such a stupid
blunder worse than bis Booker
Washington slip-up, and was so
malicious and false we did not care to
characterize it. But be is still frying
on the coals in many Southern news
paper offices with backbone for truth
ud right. It was a deliberate, care
fully formed, well considered insult
that he got off. A writer in tbe
Atlanta Journal at some length criti
cizes tne man wno tries 10 insuu
every true man and woman in the
South. Wc cop- a little:
This is manifestly unjust. He
used a term that bears injustice on
its face and was undeserved, untrue.
General Lee and his soldiers were
not anarchists. The Confederate
legislators were not anarchists.
In his big and lofty indifference
to his own forbears he has done his
mother's people a great injustice for
some of them were on tbe Southern
side during the Civil War.
"If be thought they were anar
chists, family pride should have re
strained his utterance ol tbe charge
without qualification. It is very evi
dent that President Roosevelt will
have a stony road to re-election if be
keeps up tbe gait be is traveling at
present with such rash speech.'
