and added, ''You are a more handsome

Morehead City this summer between

ested in the listing of taxes, will be
invited to attend. While it is some
thing new it serves to emphasize the
fact that the spirit of the age is to cul
tivate the social (for that is about all
such a gathering can be worth) and to
discourage exclusive methods of work.
So the world moves on and on.
From the number ot towns in the
State that have voted for local prohi
bition recently it would seem that the
temperance sentiment is growing in
North Carolina. There are many who
question the wisdom of prohibition in
small towns who would vote for it on
broader scale. So after all the num
ber of places that vote for local prohi
bition do not give a good index to the
temperance sentiment in the State, for
it is greater and stronger than is indi
cated by local prohibition.
A very intelligent gentleman who
nas travelled much saia to us a iew
days ago that, considering all its possi
bilities, North Carolina is one of the
oremost States in the Union The
soil of the State, be said, is adapted to
the production of almost everything
needed for the sustenance and comfort
ot man. And another remarked that
Eastern Carolina is destined to become
the best part of the State. .
This is what The Commonwealth has
long believed, what has it been preach
ing and proposes to preach still. The
only thing needed for such develop
ment is for the people to wake up to
the possibilities of the section, proper-

Hon. W. J. Bryan's visit to Norfolk
ast week was a most enjoyable feature
ot the "Chautaugua by the Sea" which
is now in progress m that city. Mr.
Bryan made a great speech on bimet
allism and was given quite an ovation
by the Norfolk people. In an inter
view he said some very pleasant things
or the South. He has kind feelings
or the South and the people of this
section for the most part greatly admire
Mr. Bryan.
The Norfolk people think that Mr.
ryan's popularity is increasing rather
than decreasing. Some have predicted
that if he continues to travel and speak
it will jeopardize his chances for the
presidential nomination in 1900. But
Mr. Bryan seems in blood earnest in
the cause ot silver, and so pays no at
tention to such unfavorable predictions.

the sheets on the bed felt like ice and

WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE WITH
THEM.
Some Rambling Thoughts.
. BY "NEMO."
(Copyrighted).)
Some months ago I dared to suggest
to young men who had more energy
than they could exhaust on the ordin
ary affairs of life, that it might be well
to expend that energy for their fellow-
men, by devoting themselves heart and
soul to bringing about justice for work
lngmen in the form of employers' liabili
ty for injuries suffered while at work.
I pointed out that by modem condi
tions a workman was unable to guard
himself fully against the criminal care
lessness of his fellows, and I also show
ed that nothing but a law equal in its
obligations in all States would be fair
to the employer. Where this sugges
tion may have lodged effectively, I may
not know, since these "Thoughts" are
not like bread cast upon waters, to re
turn after many days, but more like
arrows shot forth at random, hitting
sometimes and missing often.
I come now with another subject
that affects every community and that
is clamoring for proper answer with
ouder and louder tones as the years
roll by ; a question that must be answer
ed properly by this century or it will
remain a problem for the 20th century
that is absolutely frightful to contem
plate the question is as to the proper
care of the feeble-minded. Now I men
tion it, you of course admit that there
is such a question, but its importance
and its magnitude are hardly likely to
be felt by you, save perhaps in your
community there are but a few such
afflicted ones. Bear with me as I lead
you to deeper feeling.
According to the Bureau of Statistics
at Washington there are in this country
over one hundred thousand such people
I am not referring to either idiots or
insane but only to those of insufficient
intellect. This 100,000 includes only
those who by their parents or guardians
are acknowledged to the authorities ;
and learned ones on this subject think
it fair to suppose that there are half as
many more concealed and unreported
by sensitive relatives ; so that our prob
lem resolves itself into the care-taking
of 150,000 people too lacking in intel
ligence to properly look after them
selves. They are pining out a limited
existence in our towns as the butts for
all sorts ot jokes, in our poor-houses as
those who may be abused without fear,
in our jails as those who have done
crimes that seemed to be committed
without any sense of wrong-doing, in
our land as a vast army whose dull eyes
look out upon life as if it were a dream.
What is being done for them? The
total accommodation in all the institu
tions that already exist for their proper
care ana training is o,uuu, j?uny
twenty States give them no attention
at all. In South Carolina, Virginia,
Missouri and Oregon some few ot them
are sent to the Insane Asylums, the
very last place they ought to be, since
they can be trained to some degree ot
usefulness. In Montana they are group
ed with the Deaf and Dumb, a classi
fication that must be of damage to the
deaf-mutes. Maine, Vermont and
Wyoming pass them on to other States,
if accommodations can be found. In
the case ot Maine and Vermont, Mass
achusetts is looked to lor help, though
its own State applicants exceed by hun
dreds every possible accommodation at
either Waverly or Barre. North Caro
lina, Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Texas, Utah, South Dakota,
Colorado and a few other States do
nothing for them, unless the fact that
many of them naturally gravitate to
the poor-houses be regarded as some
thing done.
.
Now then, am 1 merely setting up a
man of straw in order to make a great
show of bravery in demolishing him ?
A glance around your own community
will confirm or disprove what I say.
Unlike the idiot, the feeble-minded
man is able to re-produce his Kind, and
strong intellects do not come from
feeble-minded parentage. Look around
your neignoornooa auu see 11 iuis i
correct.
In nearly every poor-house of the
country will be found one or more
feeble-minded women ; all the inevita
ble prey of depraved men, and year
after year their offspring are augmentTj

minded children. Such women often
prove veritable fire-brands in a com
munity, too weak-minded to know the
evil of what they do, too feeble to resist
If your knowledge confirms this, bear
in mind that in every community it is
the same.
Again, let it never more escape your
mind that feeble-mi ndedness is incura
ble. The brain of such may with ad
vantage be trained to a certain point,
and the hand acquire facility in hand
ling tools, but after all is done the fee
ble-minded one remains so still. Es
quirol, a great authority, sums up the
matter this way : "The feeble-minded
person is like a man who'; is born poor
and always remains sof the insane, like
a man who is born rich and becomes
poor."
" " "
Economy, humanity, and all that is
noblest in the heart of man, declare
that for the sake of the happiness
these poor creatures, and for their pro
tection and the protection of society
against a self-multiplying flood of idio
cy, lunacy, imbecility, pauperism and
crime, widespread plans, State by State
and Nation by Nation, must be adopted
to place these unfortunates where they
are harmless to themselves and others.
Look at the J uke family in one of the
western counties of New York. In 75
years, from a faulty origin, it has pro
duced 200 thieves and murderers, 280
invalids afflicted with blindness, phtni
sis or idiocy, 90 harlots and 300 chil
dren who died in infancy. It has cost
the State over a million dollars to look
after these people ; all practically avoid

ancestor of the family.

First Methodist Sermon in America.
"On the seventh of March, 1736,
John Wesley preached the first Metho
dist sermon on this continent," writes
the Rev. W. J. Scott, D. D., in an in
teresting review of ''When Jobn Wes
ley Preached in Georgia," in the June
Ladies' Home Journal. ; "It was deliv
ered not tar from the site bf the present
Christ Church," Savannah, of which he
subsequently was the third rector, and
was addressed to a mixed assemblage.
His congregation hardly exceeded four
hundred - persons, including children
and adults, reinforced, however, by one
hundred or more of the neighboring
Indians. Wesley discussed in a most
eloquent manner the principles of
Christian charity as argued by Saint
Paul in the thirteenth chapter of First
Corinthians. He made a powerful ap
peal, and many of his audience were in
tears. While he was not so impetuous
in his delivery as in after years, his
abilities at that time bespoke the great
preacher and reformer.
"If he was more scholastic in style
than in after years, the feryorand force
of his appeals were none the less felt by
his hearers. Especially was this strik
ingly true when in the course of his
discourse he adverted to the death of
his father, who for forty years or more
had been the incumbent of the Epworth
rectory. This venerable man was asked
not long before his death : 'Are the
consolations of God small with you?'
'No, no, no !' he exclaimed, with up
lifted hands, 'and then,' continued
Wesley, 'calling all that were near him
by their names, the dying patriarch
said : 'Think of Heaven, talk of Heav
en : all time is lost when we are not
thinking of Heaven !' This was spoken
by Wesley in a tremulous voice, and
his new parishioners at Savannah were
for the instant almost swept off their
feet by a tidal waye of religious en
thusiasm. Tradition has it that several
Indians who were present became so
greatly excited,. not only by Mr. Wes
ley's impassioned oratory though they
did not understand a word he said but
by his gestures, that one old "warrior
nervously clutched his tomahawk, fear
ing an outbreak in the strangely-moved
audience." I

PIRATES OF CAROLINA.
THE TERRORS OF THE SEAS.
These are now Things of the Past.
W. C. Allen in Wilmington Messenger.
PART I.
Vessels come and go along the whole
coast of America now with perfect se
curity so far as molestation by pirates
is concerned. To day the sailor from
New York to Havanna does not antici
pate any interference from robbers on
the high seas ; but makes provision, on
setting out, to combat only the winds
and waves, the common enemies of
navigators. He is not on the lookout
constantly for freebooters on his right
hand or his left. Teach's hole on the
coast of North Carolina, one time the
terror of all coasting yessels, has no
special interest to the navigator now,
more than the fact that, at one time, it
was the trysting place of many ma
rauders of the seas.
There was a time when things were
different. , From 1690 to 1720 the en
tire coast from Maine to Cuba was in
fested by bold and blood thirsty buc
caneers. They roamed the seas as lords
of the deep, and committed their dep
redations with impunity : for there
was no force adequate to the task of
coping with them. The merchant
vessel that ran the gauntlet of these
desperadoes was esteemed fortunate.
Many were captured and plundered,
and their crews either slaughtered or
sent adrift to perish in the deep. The
booty that they obtained was enormous, i
Their adherents on land aided them i
materially in hiding the treasure as it
was brought into the place of rendez
vous. It is believed in some places that
large quantities of gold and silver, bur
ied during those times, still remain con
cealed along the coast of the United
States.
About 1710 a formidable band of
these freebooters entered into a com
pact to act together for mutual profit
and safety. Edward Teach, better
known by the name of Blackboard, was
commander-in-chief ; and three noted
pirates, namely, Henry Vane, Steed
Bonnet, and Richard Worley were his
chiei lieutenants. Teach was the soul
of the band and, the dictator of all their
movements. His fleet consisted at first
of six heavily armed vessels of war,
that of Teach himself carrying forty
guns and manned by a hundred sturdy
sea rovers, each man ready at any time
to give his life in defense of his com
mander. There were no vessels in
American waters at that time that
could match those terrors of the sea.
With these formidable enemies of
mankind scouring the seas and fre
quenting the coasts, the commerce ot
the New World was almost destroyed.
They confined their depredations most
ly to the southern colonies, though fre
quently they made bold dashes into the
northern seas and carried off immense
treasure almost in sight of Boston har
bor. Their headquarters were estab
lished upon one of the small islands of
the Bahamas, with places of rendez
vous in the Cape Fear and Pamlico
rivers in North Carolina and others of
less note on the coasts of South Caro
lina and Georgia. Here they met at
stated times and formulated their dar
ing schemes of murder and plunder.
It was a time favorably suited to the
purpose ot the pirates. The country
was sparsely settled, Georgia being yet
a wilderness with no white settler with
in her borders, and the mother country
had her navy employed in protecting
her interests in other parts of the
world. While the laws against piracy
were stringent, they could not be en
forced. The temptations upon the seas
were so great that many of the boldest
in each colony forsook the peaceful
haunts of their homes and sought ill
gotten fortunes uponthe water.
The northern colonies had been for a
iong time afflicted with the same trou
ble that then annoyed their southern
sisters. Only a few years before that
time, in 1695, Captain Kidd had be
come a pirate and a terror to the north
ern seas. Before becoming a freebotter
he was a sort of privateer, a kind of sea
rover, neither -fish, flesh, nor foul. It
is a very short step from privateering
to piracy, and Captain Kidd was not a
man to strain at a gnat. '
When the depredations ot the cor
sairs all along the Atlantic coast be
came unbearable, Kidd, with a strong
fleet, arrived with a royal commission,
and stoutly supported by all the north
ern colonies, was sent against them, on
the theory that it takes a rogue to
catch other rogues. He went out with

great gusto to chastise the lawbreakers,
but became dazzled by the opportunity
thus thurst upon him, and became a
freebooter himself, creating more terror
among sailors than all previous corsairs
had done.
He roamed over the seas both along
the shores of the English colonies and
among the Spaniards of the far south.
With cargoes of rich spoil from the
Spanish Main and the JWest Indies, he
would sail into the port ot Boston and
dispose of them with the proverbial
lavishness ot a freebooter. On board
his vessels were the sumptous luxuries
of the tropics, the gaudy trappings of
me opanisn nobles, and the precious
gems from the Brazilian mines. In
consequence of his liberality in hand
ling stolen goods and bestowing them
upon others, he was gladly received by
many New England people whenever
he chose to dwell in their midst. The
great outlaw was finally captured while
walking along a street in Boston, and
soon thereafter paid the penalty of hip
high handed deeds. His capture broke
up to a large extent the bands ot north
ern pirates, but those of the south still
remained as a menace to all traffic by
sea.
At last something like an organized
effort was made to break up the gang
of desperadoes that prowled about the
seas. Captain Woods Rogers, a brave
and trusted officer of the king's navy
was sent against them with a fleet of
sufficient size to strike terror into the
hearts of the freebooters. He came to
the island of Providence in the Baha
mas, where Teach and his gang had fix
ed their headquarters. As Rogers ap
proached and was about to open lire
upon them, the whole ot the band ex
cept about ninety hoisted the white
flag, claiming the royal pardon which
had been extended shortly before to all
who would return to their duties as
law-abiding citizens. Blackbeard and
his lieutenants with their crews were
not present and thus escaped. The
nest was not broken up. It was mere
ly shitted to North Carolina. The
ninety that refused amnesty and had
escaped the clutches of Rogers soon
joined their forces with Blackbeard,
and coming to the coast of North Care.
lina, took up their headquarters in the
Cape Fear river, with other places of
rendezvous in the Pamlico river and
sound. There were no people living
on the Cape' Fear river at that time
for Sir John Yeamans' colony that set
tled there years before had removed to
South Carolina. The remains of their
settlement furnished shelter and tem
porary homes for tha pirates.
In their new quarters they seemed to
put on new life and to follow their ne
farious calling with more vindictive
ness than ever. For some cause Cap
tain Rogers had not followed them, but
had hoisted sail and gone back to En
gland leaving the pirates masters of
the sea. Soon thereafter, Governor
Robert Johnson, of South Carolina,
took matters into his own hands and
resolved to chastise the buccaneers.
Accordingly he sent out Captain Wil
liam Rhett with two sloops to watch
their movements and, if possible, to
bring them to justice. Rhett had hard
ly crossed the Charleston bar when be
e.pied Bonnet's vessel, which he chased
into the Cape Fear and captured after
a stout resistance. He took his prize
to Charleston with thirty prisoners,
who, with their commander, paid the
penaltv on the gallows. ' Governor
Johnson himself soon after went in
pursuit of Worley and after a desperate
engagement off the harbor of Charles
ton captured him. The entire crew of
the pirate vessel, with the exception of
Worley and one other were killed in
the battle : and they, were dangerously
wounded. They were taken to "the
South Carolina metropolis and imme
diately executed for. fear that death
would cheat the gallows. Vane was
run down and slain soon afterwards ;
and the band once so formidable was
materially reduced.
But piracy was not yet broken up,
though it had received a signal reverse.
B!i?ckbe:ird, the bck'est and most re
doubtable of the gang, with fifty or
sixty followers still hovered about Ocra
coke and the Pamlico sounds.' He de
fied capture and boasted that he was a
match for the king's navy.
In 1718, while cruising off the
coast of South Carolina, Teach cap
tured a vessel having on board Samu
el Wragg, a member of the executive
council of South Carolina, and a man
of means and influence. Blackbeard
robbed Mr. ,Wragg of $7,500 in specie
and held him; for ransom. The bold
freebooter had the effrontery to send
four of his men to Charleston - to de-
