In 1918, Gen. Henry Lee, incapacitated
by physical disability from participation in
our war then raging with Great Britain,
went in quest of health to the West Indies.
Early in 1918, ic sought his native land,
sensible that his E'end of earth' could not
be far distant. At his request, the vessel
on which he had embarked put into Cum
bcrland Sound, and the distinguished and
dying Epatriot became the guest of Mrs.
Shaw, the eldest daughter of Gen. n Nathan
iel Greene, then the mistress Of Dungeness
Mansion. This noble and lOrdly mansion,
built under the direction Of Mrs. Greene
after the Generals death, of massive E'tab-
by'' walls (nOW i'll ruins, having been de-
stroyed by fire III 1860 was then the seat

the illustriOus guest received every atten-

The remains of Gen. Greene, who died
at Mulberry Grove, near Savannah, prior
to the erection of the Dungeness Mansion,
have been unfortunately lost.

Federal internal revenue system, and more

Of the Government who are sent out to rake
the country. The reader will be struck
with the severe manner in which MI Al

mony comes from a Republican, what must

into the treasury of the United States. TO
a people poor as the people OF MISSISSIPPI
are--for they are poor indeed-it is con-
tfnual source of irritation, complaint, and
annoyance, that they pay these large taxes,
and vet the Government is none the better
off for the payment.

On Negro LabOr-InlpOrfant COnsi.i-

The New Orleans correspondent of the

The National Democratic Convention


Some of our Democratic friends at the
North, as well as at the South, have, for
some time, been FESTIVE and apprehensive
because no day has been fixed for the
meeting of the National Democratic Con-
vention.
In Difference to the anxiety manifested
on this question, we understand that steps
will, at once, be taken to call together the
National Democratic Committee. Upon
| this Committee will devolve the duty of
fixing the time and place for holding the
National Convention.
We care not what place may be selected,
so that it be reasonably accessible and
central. 1t is immaterial where the Con-
vention is held, provided the place be large
| enough to accommodate, comfortably, the
large number of delegates and others whom
it will attract. The time for holding the
| Convention is a very different and much
more important question. The Democratic
party ought to wait calmly and quietly until
all the other parties shall have, unmis-
takably, taken position. This cannot be
done unless the time for holding the Con-
vcntion is postponed until the last practi-
cable moment. Party obligations are lust
now resting very loosely upon many Of our
Radical or Republican brethren. The
strength OF the Cincinnati movement is
daily increasing The triumphs of the
Administration in New Hampshire and
Connecticut, by placing Grants re-nomi-
nation at Philadelphia beyond perad-
venture, have demonstrated to his Radical
rivals for the Presidency and to Radical
soreheads generally, the necessity of some
definite tangible action at Cincinnati.
The quarrel is a very pretty one as it
stands, so pretty, indeed, that we do not
propose to spoil it. 1t is very hazardous
thing, however, to assert that differences
in the Radical camp, at any stage of the
game, arc irreeoncilable. We must be
cautious bide our time. Our main re-
lance is i: nc belief that it is impossible
to find or Lake offices enough TO satisfy all
the aspirants, and the quarrel being about
the spoils, we must fall heir to good many
disappointed aspirants and soreheads.
By discreet action we have an opportu-
nifty to regain much that we have lost.
Let us then make haste slowly, and feel
| our way cautiously.

The Army and General Grant

In recent speech in the House Of Rep
resentatives, General Slocum, ofNeW \ ork,
deplored the departure of ancient ideas and
habits in the United States army, touching
interference in politics. lie declared that
We could easily recall the time when officers
Of the army ignored politics, and few voted
at all, and when everybody regarded the
army as branch OF the Executive De-
rartment of the Government. supported
by the whole people. for the d"tan"" Of the
country.
General Slocum expressed a doubt as to
whether General Grant, when lieutenant
in the army. ever knew the politics of one
of his associates. But wonderful change
had, he said, come over the country. Now
the military is Indispensable at our cleo
tons. We draw on the army for our stirring
orators, we call on them 10 preside at the
polls Having by their aid selected our
Chief Magistrate, if the citizen would pay
his respects to him, he must first pass in re-
view at the White House before three or
four brigadier-gcncrals. If we desire to
negotiate for the purchase of an island the
negotiations must be earned on hy a
brigadier-general."
Quite military SHOW, indeed, says the
Richmond D ispotch, for a Republic. Mayn't
we call it 4 military Republic? Does not
General Grant still ignore politics? He
knows little about them and cares less. He
leaves it to his Cabinet and leading Radi-
Gals in Congress. He has 'other fish, to
frv." The stolid indifference of the indif-
ferent President to matters he don't COM
prehend is only equalled by his logged
persistence in running the patronage de-
partment to please his own taste, and after
this to run his teams and smoke his cigar.
lie incl;nes to military men. He still ig-
nores politics, and not permitting himself
to be disturbed in his tayorite pursuits,
he lets the world wag. But this IS a
Iudicrous condition for a Republic to
come to.

Manufactures of Wilmington
ARTICLE VII.
GRAIN MILLS.


The Cape Fear Flour and Pearl Homny
Mills, No. 2, was built in 1867 after the loss
by fire of the old mills in 1866. They are
erected on the east side OF Mutt street, just
opposite where the old ones were consumed,
and built of bricks manufactured by the
proprietor, in the city limits, as at that time
there were no bricks in the city for sale
These mills are very substantially built
The first story is 81 brick thick, falling off
one-half brick on each story, and is four
and half stories high, GGx70 feet. The
ENGINE ROOM
attached is 24xG6 feet, built of brick and
iron-not thing in its cOnstruc
ton that will burn. The door opening it
from the mill is protected by heavy iron
shutter. The floors are supported by nine
upright clamp beams running from the first
to the fifth floor, standing at equal distan-
ces from the walls.
This mill can store $4,000 bushels of
grain. Its desired capacity was for three
sets of stones for corn, two sets for wheat,
and three pearl hominy mills, and when
complete it will require 1000 bushels grain
to supply it for twenty-four hours. AT
present there are but two sets of stones for
corn, one set for wheat, and three hominy
mills in operation. The mills are driven
by an eighty horsepower engine, with two
80 feet by a. inch boilers with two u inch
flues in each, so arranged as to return the
fire back and forth three times before en-
tering the chimney, thereby getting ninety
six feet of heating surface on each boiler
The furnace is so arranged that if either
boiler should be out of order, the other
may be operated. There is also donkey
engine that will throw water IN any part ef
the building, to be used in case of fire.
The corn is passed from the dray to
THE ELEVATOR,
by which it is carried to the fourth floor,
and is then cleaned and is passed to any
part of the building desired, by machinery,
and is not touched by hand after leaving
the dray, until drawn from swinging bins
into the sacks as bolted meal or pearl
hominy, ready for the cook. The wheat is
handled in IKE manner, except it is carried
by an elevator to the fifth floor to be sepa-
rated for cleaning, and the large and small
