The death of the venerable Rev.
Robert Burwell, at the very advanced
age of "a years, will not surprise any,
but the death of such most worthy,
reputable, and useful minister of the
Gospel deserves special editorial men
ton. He was Christian gentleman
of excellent sense and fine spirit, and
had served his day and the three gen
erations through which be lived with
fidelity and benefit. Although a
native, we think, of Virginia, he served
North Carolina as teacher and preacher
for several decades. His long and
useful life was blessing to his race.
He was a true man in all relations Of
life.-Wilm!ngton Messenger.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 1b.-The COM
mittee on mercantile affairs of the Mas
sachusetts legislature arrived in the
city today. The committee consisted
of Senator F. w. Darling, chairman;
sentative Charles G. Bancroft, George
NJ. Eddy, E. NJ. Moriarty, Frank Chand-
ler, w. ]. Donovan, r. I. Tramoh,
and Deputy Sergeant-at-arms William
Whiting.
Representative R. T. Tramoh is col
ored man. He was taken possession OF
by prominent colored people and be-
sides visiting factories he visited
churches. schools and other instltu-
tions for colored people.
Much legislation is proposed before
the Massachusetts, legislature which
manufacturers charge is inimical to
manufacturers in New England. 1t IS
also claimed that conditions and laws
are so favorable at the south to Mas
sachusetts that unless the laws OF the
New England states foster manufacture
ers more, all the mills will move to the
south where natural advantages and
laws are more favorable.
The committee has been sent south
to examine into the conditions and
laws The examination so far has de-
veloped the fact that what the manu-
facturers has said about the advantages
of the south is rather short of the truth
than otherwise. 1t was found that the
mill owners of the south are working
hard and living economically. The
labor is the best in the United States
and is contented. Cotton is cheaper
than in New England, the climate is
milder, living is better and cheaper and
there are other and less important ad-
vantages.
The committee visited in Charlotte
yesterday eight cotton mills, two cot
tonseed oil mills, one trowser factory
and other smaller enterprises. The
members of the committee express
| themselves as being well impressed
with what they saw south.

PUBLIC PRINTING.
The Contract Awarded to Stewart
Bros. of Winston.

The Contract Awarded to Stewart
Bros. of Winston.
The public printing has been
awarded to Stewart Bros, Republicans,
of Winston, in disregard to the law,
which was that the contract should be
let to the lowest bidder, and facts and
figures furnished by reliable printers
show that the firm of Stewart Bros.
were not the lowest bidders Compe-
tent printers went over the figures
carefully and found that Edwards &
Broughton, of this city, in the aggre-
gate, were over $500 lower than the
Stewards bid. Yet in the face of this
fact they ride rough shod over the
law and award the contract to Stewart
Bros.
Their conduct is scandalous, and
dishonest, but it is in keeping with
their acts throughout their short career
as legislators. 1t shows to us that the
assertions OF the Democratic press
were true when they claimed that the
fusion crowd were after spolls and
that their cry of "refawm" was a
whine of hypocricy. They have dsre,
garded everything except feathering
their own nests, and have heaped
ignominy on the State of North
Carolina.
The printing scandal, the Douglass
disgrace, and their other miserable
acts will meet them two years hence
when they come before the people OF
this State for support.
They have presented themselves
disgusting and dishonorable spectacle
May the Legislature Of North Caroline
know them no more orever.-Raleigf

6 Perhaps you would not think so, but
very large proportion Of diseases in New
York comes from carlessness about catching
cold" says DIR. Cyrus Edison. ''It is such
a simple thing and so common that very few
people, unless it is a case Of pneumonia, pay
anv attention to a cold. New York is one
of the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are great many cases
of catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the simplest
precaution OF every day life. The most
sensible advice is, when you have one get
rid of if as soon as possible. By all means
do not neglect it, DR.. Edison does not tell
YOU how to cure a cold but we will. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t will
relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open
the secretions and soon effect a permanent

Secretary Lamont has issued an order
outlining the official program for the ded
icatory services of the Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National Military Park. It.
is as follows:
Pursuant to the act of Congress ap-
proved Dec. II, 1894, the national dedica-
| ton of the Chckamauga and Chattanoo-
"a National Military Park will take place
! on the 18th and goth of September prox-
| imO. The veterans. those who have been
invited, and the public will assemble az
Snodgrass Hill on the battlefield of Chick
anauga. At noon, Sept. 10. orations will
be delivered by Gen. John NJ. Palmer, OF
Illinois. and Gen. John b. Gordon, Of
Georgia.
The exercises on the Goth will begin
al noon in the city of Chattanooga. Ora
tons will be delivered By Gen. William
Il. Bate, of Tennessee. and Charles H.
| Grosvenor of Ohio. The evenings Of
both days will be devoted 10 meetings OF
the veterans of the armies participating
in the two battles The complete pro-
gram in detail will be hereafter an
n0unced. A waterproof tent covering

| and both night meetings.
The participation in these dedicatory
exercises has been requested of the presi-
dent, of Congress, of the supreme Court
and of the heads of executive depart
ments and invitations 10 be present have
been sent TO the Governors of the States
and their stafrs. Like invitations are
hereby extended TO the survivors of the
| several armies that were engaged in the
battles Of Chickamauka and Chattanoo-
ga. 1t is obviously impracticable for the
Secretary of War TO issue individual in

The act does not make provisions for

ment. In view Of the large attendance
| which now seems assured. il is suggested
| that all who expect 10 be present make
| immediate engagements for quarters.
These can he secured through the Chat
