South Carolina's Jeal
ousy. She Can Lose No Glory by Admit
ting Her Sister State's Claims
Regarding the Mecklenburg Declaration.
Montgomery (Ala.) Advwliwr.
As might hfive cci predicted,
South Carolina U inclined to make
f.lees at tlieclaimsof her sister State.
These two are always showing their
jealousy of each other. They have
juarreled over the birthplace of An
drew Jackson until if the old hero
was living he could almost regret
that he was not born in Kalrnazoo
or some other out-of-the-way spot,
and now South Carolina is turning
up her nose at the Mecklenburg
claim. The Chariton Xrns ami
Courier speaks of t he celebration as
"The Triumph of a Myth," and
somewhat sneeringly asks, "What
difference does it make, looking at
the affair from a strictly commercial
point of view, whether the Mecklen
burg Declaration was proclaimed or
not? It furnishes the occasioti for a
great nnnn.-il gathering of the people
of North Carolina in Hcn-lotte, and
it makes much business for the rail
roads and merchants and newspapers
It also affords the orators of the
State and of ot her States opportun
ity of uncorking their eloquence and
speaking with every appearance of
sincerity about an occurrence that
d'ul no!, occur, at least, in the man
ner and form so much exploited."
Well it makes quite a difference to
the people of the Old North State
who firmly believe in what the Xews
:mt Courier designates a myth. If
the claim is a true one it shows that
the people about Mecklenburg county
were more than a year in .advance of
Thomas .Jefferson and his company
of partiotsin the work of throwing
down the gage of defiance to (!reat
Britimi. And it should also be borne
in mind that the authors of this
famous declaration were a small
body of men and not representatives
of all the Colonics. It required ner.vy
patriotism and perhaps rail for
these few people to get together ami
tell the mother country that they
proposed to paddle their own boat
in future. Sout h Carolina can lose no
glory by admitting what her sister
State claims.
A New Wireless Record.
liii hk -Wwh.
Kven though the wireless telegraph
has not leen perfected so far as to
1)6 of commercial ut ility as n regular
channel of communication, evidences
that it is already of immense practi
cal importance are increasing. The
remarkable achievement of theFrench
liner La Provence, last week, in car
rying on communication with both
shores while in mid-Atlantic, makes
a new record in wireless telegraph
annals and demonstrates afresh the
importance of this invention to the
world.
Heretofore it has been found im
posible for any ship equipped with
wireless npparatus to keep contin
uously in touch w ith land wliilecross
ing the Atlantic or to hold communi
cation with both shores simultan
eously. The operator-after getting
a certain distance away from one
shore have been out of reach of land
until they "picked up" a station on
the opposite shore. La Provence,
while practically midway between the
Cornish stat i n at Poldhu and the
one at Cape Cod, received messages
from both points. It had "picked
up" America before it "dropped" the
Old World, there being no moment
in the time of its whole journey when
it was not in touch with the land.
There is no good reason to doubt
that with the further improvement
of wireless telegraphy and the estab
lishing of more stat ions' t he ships on
the great seas will be able to hold
comunication with land uninterrupt
edly. In time it will be possible- to
send aerial messages from continent
to continent over distances of thous
ands of miles. Hut the possibilities
to which the achievement of La Pro
vence points are in themselves of
vast importance in the immediate
present.
Rebellion and Secession.
Iticlunond Tinies-Disnnteh.
Jn his address on the occasion of
Confederate Memorial Day in Dan
ville, Senator Daniel said that he had
no objection to Iteing called a rebel,
but, like Oeorge Washington, rather
cherished the name.
In commenting onSenator Daniel's
remarks, the Lynchburg Xews says
that the word rebel per se does not
necessarily carry odious or discredit
able significance, but nevertheless, to
preserve the historical accuracy of
things, it is always well to bear in
mind that the attitude of the Sooth
during the war was not related in es
sential nature to an act of rebellion,
as that word is commonly used and
accepted.
The point is well taken. Rebellion
as applied by the Northern people to
secession, is specifically and design
edly a term in denial of the great
principle for which the Southern Con
federacy fought. If secession was re
bellion, the claim of the South, that
each and every sovereign State had
the constitutional right to witfidraw
from the I'nion, falls to the ground.
Buy the Best.
Do you want n, typewriter? Then buy
the best as well as the cheapest. The
Franklin typewriter is the best and most
convenient typewriter made for all prac
tical purposes. It will do the work of the
high price or so-called standard machines
besides being a visible writer which
gives it a decided advantage over them.
Matters not by what name it is known
or the prestige it liears the ''blind'
writer is not in the same class with the
visible writer, a fact which all operators
are rapidly coming to recogniie. If you
have not seen and operated the new
Number Nine Franklin you do not know
what typewriter satisfaction is.
Let us show Jt to you and demon
strate its strong points and superior ad
vantages. And not the least attractive
feature about the Franklin is the price
only $75.00. Sold on easy terms in
stalment plan li desired.

j Seeking A Seaboard
Outlet.
i Wabash Railroad Makes Connection
I With Tidewater and Deepwater
I Railroads.
Norfolk, Va., May 2G . From reli
able authority it is learned here that
tli. W'nbnsh railroad is SO closely
identified with the tide-water deep-
a I
witer railroads, now oeing con
structed from Norfolk to Charleston,
W. Va., that it will be used as an At
lantic f-eaboard outlet by the Gould
lines.
The tide-water deep-water lines
penet rate the coal fields of West
Virginia. At Charleston, which will
be the Western terminus, connection
is made with the West Virginia Cen
tral a Wabash property over a friend
ly Davis-Elkin line. The West Vir
ginia Central taps Cumberland, and
from that city the Western Mary
land, another Wabash property, is
building a Pittsburg connection thus
completing the link.
That Wabash interests are identified
with the tide-water deep-water lines
was developed in a discussion of
terminals for the latter system in
Norfolk.
The construction of the tide-water
deep-water lines is the most remark
able railway building in American
history. With absolutely no regard
for towns, mountains and valleys,
the tide-water seeks from Norfolk on
almost a !ee line, the great and un
developed coal fields of West Vir
ginia. D.-alh from Lockjaw

Scuppernong Growing.
Wilmington Menenger.
A week or two ago the Messenger
published an editorial urging the
people owning land in this section
of the state to go into the bus
iness of raising scuppernong grapes.
We attempted to set forth some of
t he advantages in this class of frnit
growing.
We are glad to know that a very
large number of cuttings of this
grape have been set out in New Han
over county this spring, and that
others are contemplating entering
upon the same industry.
For our section of the- state there
is nothing like it. We feel sure that
any man who will set out five, ten or
twenty acres in scuppernongs will in
five .years bless the day that he un
dertook this departure in fruit raising
It will be found to beat strawberry
and any other kind of fruit raising,
and all kinds of truck growing.
When you once get your vineyard
set and bearing about the only ex
pense is the gathering and marketing
of the fruit and in the latter, you are
not dependent on fluctuating north
ern market. The price never gets so
low that the cost of gathering and
shipping will exceed the market val
ue of the goods, as is the case often
with strawberries and all kinds
of vegetables. There is a standing
and ever-increasing demand right
at our door for all the scuppernongs
which can be grown in this section.
This is destined to become a great
industry for land owners in this sec
tion of the state. Those who plant
the vines first are going to reap the
earliest rewards for their forethought
and diligence.
lecause it takes the vines four or
five years to become well remuner
ative is all the more reason that
time should not be lost in putting
them out.
We are glad to know that quite a
good beginning has been made in
this new enterprise in our county.
There is no limit to the demand.
The fruit is readily taken up by the
existing wineries as fast as marketed.
When their capacities are reached, if
ever, there are men here with neces
sary capital to establish new wine
ries and thereby increase the demand
for the fruit. The one local winery
is ready to handle twice the quan
ity of grapes it consumed last year.
Its consumption then was confined to
the supply furnished.
Because there are no immediate re
turns from the setting out of a scup
pernong vineyard some people do
not care to go into it. But just
think of the handsome returns year
after year when the vines do begin to
bear, and almost at no outlay of
money after the vines are first pur
chased, set out and the arbor built.
Properly gathered this grape can
be shipped to market as well as the
strawberry or other delicate fruit.
We wish our people would take
more interest in this matter. The
agricultural department at Wash
ington will give all neccessary infor
mation on the subject. We want
our people to go into the business.
We are glad to know that many are
doing so.

To Manufacture Paper.
Large Plant to be Established at
Roanoke Rapids.
Richmond, Va., May 14 Rich
mond capitalists are interested in a
project for the establishment at
Roanoke Rapids, about five miles
from Weldon, N. C, on the Roanoke
river and on the Raleigh and Gas
ton railroad, of a large plant for the
manufacture of pulp and paper.
They control property at the point
mentioned which has facilities for
enormous water power. The home
offices of the company are to be in
thiscity where, it is understood, most
of the capital has been subscribed.
The stock of the company is to be
put at a maximum of $150,000 and
a minimum of $100,000, and it is
said that $125,000 has already been
subscribed. A charter is soon to be
applied for.

Blackburn Passes One to Pritchard.
Washington Dispatch, 21st.
When shown the article which ap
peared in the Salisbury Post,n which
Judge Pritchard is quoted as con
firming the story of his declination
to speak to the Congressman, Mr.
Blackburn observed with a decided
trait of bitterness in his words: "I
do not care to discuss the matter.
If the judge finds comfort iir making
the incident a matter of comment, it
is a matter of indifference to me. 'I
am not a judge upon the bench, but
I am content to know that I have
not violated the laws of the land,
nor have I plead ignorance of the
law, or taken shelter behind the stat
ute of limitations.''
