A SAD COMMENTARY.

We are surprised to read that when
Col. w. G. p. Breckenridge arrived at
his home, Lexington, KY, Friday, he
was received by crowd of 500
citizens, who gave not only three
cheers for him, but three times three.
Tie incident illustrates the different
processes of thought-or shall we say
the different moral standard Pin
different sections of the country. Mr..
Breckinridge is condemned. On
the witness stand, under oath, he con-
fessed his falling away. That might
be pardoned-as good men as he have
fallen, but they have had to bear the
penalty. No man in this country yet
has Haunted his shame in the face of
the people and, without apology for it,
asked vindicaton. That is what he is
doing. 1t is to the eternal shame Of
Kentucky that 500 people can be
found to welcome him upon his return
home, and it will be an undying
scandal to his people if he is returned
to Congress, as, indeed, there seems
some danger that he may be. The
decency OF the nation rebels against
this manifestation at Lexington. 1t is
a common shame, on account of which
all of us are called to blush. Charlotte
Observer.

Writes Some Kind Words About
Senator Vance.
Rev. w. A. Patillo, colored, of
Henderson, in a communication to the
News- Observer Chronicle, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Senator Vance.
HENDERSON, May 3rd, '94.
Although quite late, beg for a small
space in your valuable paper to express
the high esteem, held by a colored man,
for our honored dead Senator Vance. |
shall ever feel grateful to his memory for
the many kind words and acts, spoken
for and shown toward my people. While
in politics he was a Democrat still he
was Representative OF the whole people.
He was a true advocate of the education
of the negroes of North Carolina and the
South, for which we all feel thankful.
Aside from this l have personal graft
tude for him, He was a patriot and
statesman. remember nine years ago,
while was making an effort to establish
a cOlOred orphan asylum at Oxford,
which | succeeded in doing, that while
in Washington trying to raise some
funds, Senator Vance took more interest
in me and the cause [ represented than

respective OF color. He left the Senate
with me and took me around and intro
duced me to several rich men, among
them Senator Leland Stanford, of Cal
ifornia, who gave me at once a check for
500 with promise to give some sub
stantial aid as we got further on. Sen
ator Vance gave literally himself.
Mr.. Editor, am sure voice the SEN
timents OF large percentage of the
colored people of North Carolina, when l
say we feel a great loss in the death of
Senator Vance.

TALK UP YOUR TOWN.
Modesty Should Not Prevent
It's Good Points From Being
Known

:. II you live in town, you should
believe in it. If You don't believe
your own town or city is little better
in most respects than any of its neigh
bors. you should move out. Like
other places. it has advantages that
others have not, and your mOdesty
should not prevent you from making
that fact known whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself. At home or
abroad, whether pursuing pleasure or
engaged in business, do not neglect to
give those with whom you come in
contact to understand that you live in
a live town populated by enterprising,
go ahead, progressive people and one
that is advancing instead of retrograd-
ing. Ifyou can truthfully speak in
commentator of the ability of your
professional men, the square dealing
methods of your merchants, the excel
lence of your mechanics, the superiority
of your churches, schools and public
institutions and the industry, energy
aud sobriety of your citizeus generally,
let nothing prevent you from exercis-
ing that privilege. You should learn
to believe. if you do not already, that
we have all these and in addition the
handsomest women, the best located
town, the finest country surrounding
it, with the most fertile farms, titled
by the most intelligent class of farmers
to be found in the United States.
If there are any drawbacks, it will
not be necessary to mention them.
The people and newspapers of Compel
ing towns will relieve you of that task
by attending to that part of it them
selves. Strangers seeking location
are always greatly Influenced in favor
of any place whose citizens are enthu-
siastic in its praise. No city or town
can expect to attain prominence over
it's rivals unless its Inhabitants appre-
ciate the excellence and virtues of
each other and will collectively spread
abroad their faith in the present pros
perity and future greatness of their
own locality. Talk is a cheap COM
modify, but when rightly utilized it
can be made effective in many direc-
tons, and this is one of them.

SENATOR JARVIS.

The Washington correspondent of
the Winston Sentinel had a talk with
Senator Jarvis few days ago in regard
to the proposed national park in
Western North Carolina, when that
gentleman expressed himself as fol-
lows:
Concerning the establishment of a
national park in Western North Caro-
lima, he said : 81 have always taken
a great interest in the growth and
development of Western North Caro-
lima and long ago learned to look upon
that section as possessing resources for
the development OF marvelously
wonderful possibilities. can not at
this time, however, speak with that
certainty which l would like, with re-
gard to the establishment of national
park in the Land of the Sky but |
think we'll and favorably Of the idea
and shall be glad to cooperate with
and join in any move looking to that
end, as likewise other matters which
tend to the development of that
section.
81 may add that the risk | ran in
calling the State Legislature together
in 1880 for the sale of the Western
railroad leaves no room for doubt as
10 my interest in the welfare of that
section. | am not here, however, to
represent any particular section or in
dustry of the State and can always be
relied on to join heartily in any move
that has for its object the advancement
of North Carolina as whole or any
part thereof"

To Kill Potato Bugs.

S. J. Hinsdale writes to the editor of
the Fayetteville Observer and gives
the following remedy for destroying
potato bugs. We publish it for the
benefit of truck farmers and gardeners.
1t is simple and inexpensive and worth
trying. Mr.. Hinsdale says:
| have used for several years an ipfu-
sion OF Quassia on my potato vines to
Kill the bugs, with satisfaction. The
Quassia tree is native of Jamaica, it is
not poisonous, and the wood is used in
medicine as tonic. 1t can be obtained
OF the druggists at about thirty cents per
pound. The following is my method for
preparing the infusion:
Boil one pound of ground Quassia or
Quassia chips, in three or four gallons
water for two hours. Place strainer OF
cotton cloth oyer the open head of a
barrel, pour on it the decoction OF
Quassia, then add about fifteen gallons
OF water, pouring it through the strainer
IN order to extract all of the strength
OF the Quassia. Sprinkle the vines with
this, IN dry weather, using a very fine
sprinkler. A course sprinkler wastes the
Infusion. Merely wetting the leaves is
sufficient. Repeat the sprinklng after
few days. The first application will
kill nearly all OF the fpl grown bugs, and
the next about all the new crop of young
ones. Two or three sprinklings will
usually besufficient.
This infusion is no doubt good to de-
stroy bugs and lice in green houses and
on rose bushes. A rubber sprinkler is
convenient to use in the green house as
we'll as on potato vines.

MEETING OF GRANVILLE
COUNTY VETERANS,
In Oxford, Monday, May 18th, at
IL O'clock.

To the Teserans and Citizens Of Vance, and
Especially Those uho ,cere Granville County
Veterans.
On Tuesday, May 22nd, Confederate
Veterans from all parts OF the State will
meet in the city of Raleigh, when the cor
nerstOne of the Monument to be erected
to their memory will be laid. On that
occasion there will be gathered, possibly,
the largest body of cold Braves" that
has assembled within our borders since
'65. From Manteo to Murphy, from
mountains to seaShore, from the border
of Old Virginia to South Carolina's line,
battle-scarred veterans Of the Old North
State will come to commemorate the
deeds of vaior. the days of suffering, and
the moments of victory OF her hOnored
sons!
She has made history, but she has left
the glory Of writing it to others. Now
the time has come when we are awaking
from our undue modesty and lethargic
spirit, and mean to hand down to pos
terity the deeds of valor of our llustrious
sires.
This will be the largest and last meet
ing it will be to the privilege of many old
soldiers to enjoy. For that reason a
large gathering will be there.
To provide ways and means, and to Or
ganise the old Granville Troops, there
will be meeting of her Confederate Vet
Grams at Oxford, on Monday, May 14th
at II o'clock. Not only the old soldiers
are invited to be present, but every man
and woman whose heart beats in SYM
pathy with the cause for which our
fathers and grandfathers gave their
lives. Yes, let thedaughters OF the South
come! While they did not carry the
musket they did equally valiant service
in caring for the wounded, God bless
them! 1t fills our eyes with tears when
we think of how their hearts were wrung
at the suffering of their brothers and
husbands! Let every man whose heart
beats with Southern pride be present in
Oxford on Monday, May 18th.
The 14th and 22nd of May, 1894, will
be days about which our sons and grand
sons in after years will listen with pride
as we tell them OF the day when we met
to honor Dries Sons.
Truly yours,

Mr.. Henry at Tarboro.

The Tarboro Southerner says this of
our townsman Mr.. Walter r. Henry,
and his lecture recently delivered in
that town:
Mr.. W. R. Henry, OF Henderson, n c.,
delivered his lecture on "Woman," in the
opera house last Thursday night to a
select and highly appreciative audience.
Mr.. Henry needs no words of commenda-
ton or praise at our hands. In the po-
litical circles OF the State, he is especially
we'll known. His lecture on "Woman" is
truly an interesting and instructive one,
interspersed with wit and humor, and
all the while possessing dignity and
showing signs of great research and
much thought. Mr.. Henry spoke for
nearly two hours, and his audience
would gladly have listened to him longer
Mr.. Henry is a most clever and affable
gentleman, and his success in his new
field is insured.

AS TO IMMIGRATION

The Richmond Times says than all
officer Of high rank in a Western rail
road system was recently in one of the
large Richmond manufactures Of
machinery. He was delighted to see
the orderly way in which business pro-
ceeded in it, and exclaimed: " Well,
if your negroes bring you many curses
they also secure you the blessing of
keeping away from you the foreign
anarchists who are the curse of our
lives" This needs to be read in con-
necton with the Associated Press dis
patch from Cleveland, O., few days
ago which, describing the street riot
there, said d" There were few Eng
disappearing people in the mob. 1t
was rabble composed almost entirely
Of foreigners
The South has not enjoyed the in
crease of population that the North
and West have from the influx of i'm
migration, and we are told, in expla-
nation Of this, that foreigners will not
come 10 a section in which the colored
population is so large factor as it is
in the South. That is all right. Let
them stay away, if they will. We
welcome all orderly foreigners, but as
between bomb throwing or riotmak-
ing foreigners on the one hand, and
home made niggers on the other, we
choose the niggers. The fact is that
we are getting along pretty we'll down
here. There is no race problem, y
except in the imagination Of theorists,
and the people who are charitably
deploring our backwardness and our
failure to "catch the tide of i'm
migration" as it comes, had much
better be in our situation than to be
catching, as they are, the driftwood of
foreigners, who are creating riots in
Northern streets and are not able to
understand the orders of American
policemen.-Charlorte Observer.

Senator RansOm's Weakness.

The secret of Senator Ransom S
appropriately, if he is unpopular, does
not, in our judgment, lie so much on

rights of other people and in his cruel
and unjustifiable war upon Senator
Vance and his friends. Shelby

A GOOD LAW.

The Board Of Aldermen in Raleigh
have enacted the following ordinance.
"No person under II years OF age
shall enter any 5ar-room situated IN
the city of Raleigh, and in which
spirituous or vinous or malt liquors are
kept for sale. Any person violating
this ordinance shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined $40; provided, this
ordinance shall not apply to any
minor who is married nor to any minor
entering such bar-room as the agent
or servant of the parent or guardian.
The State Supreme Court has decided
that this is a good law. But will the
law be enforced? We very much
doubt it. There is law on the statute
books against selling liquor to minors
or cigarettes to boys under II years of
age, but it is a dead letter. Any law
that is not enforced has a tendency TO
bring such law into contempt. People
first disregard, then disrespect, and
finally contemporary look upon it.

THE FRIEND OF THE COLORED
PEOPLE,

SENATOR VANCE was the friend of
the colored people. He did much for
the cause of public education among
them and his memory will long be
cherished by the intelligent and appre-
ciative portion of that race. One Of
the first persons to express regrets to US
at Senator Vance's death was one of our
colored citizens Julius Speed, who
spoke in warm terms of the goodness
and greatness of the deceased states
man and what he did for the colored
people Of the State, declaring that as
Governor he did more for the educa
ton of the colored race than any man
who has occupied that high office.
Another Colored man, Rev. Garland
H. White, late of Halifax county, but
now living in Washington City, pays
a tribute to Senator Nance's memory
in an article written to the NezOS d.
serUer- Chronicle, and published on the
first page of the GOLD LEAF this week.
And it is fact worthy of mention that
the first contribution received by the
Vance Monumental Association re-
Gently organized in Raleigh, was from
colored man. The correspondent
of the Wilmington Messenger says
that Gov Carr received on Friday
$500 from Isaac II. Smith, colored,
of New Berne, as his contribution to
the Vance monument.
