Obeyiug Instructions

Much is said in these days about the
want of obedience to parental authority
displayed by the rising generation, but
an incident in which the contrary spirit
was manifested is narrated by prom

ECONOMY.

Economy is one of the chief
duties of a State, as well as of an
individual; it is not only a great
virtue in itself, but it is the
parent of many others. IL pre-
serves men and nations from the
commission of crime and the ems
durance of misery. The man
that lives within his income can
be just, humane, charitable, and
independent; he who lives be-
yond it becomes almost neces
sarily, rapacious, mean, faith
less and contemplate. The
economist is easy and comforts
able; the prodigal, harrassed
with debts, and unable to obtain
the necessary means of life. So
it is with nations. National
character, as we'll as national
happiness, has, from the be
ginning of the world to the pres
ent day, been sacrificed on the
altar of profusion.

ALBERT CRABTREE.
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF HIS
LIFE.
HE WAS TRUE soUTHERNER

HE WAS A TRUE SOUTHERNER.
A Brave Soldier, Modest, Unassuming g
Gentleman: The Last Confederate Sol
dier Wounded in Battle in North
Carolina.
The late Mr.. Albert Crabtree.

haps, more true in spirit to the
South and her Lost Cause than SO
many thousands Of his heroic
and immortal comrades in arms,
yet he had exceptional experi-
ences and peculiarly trying Or
deals that served but to shed
brighter lustre on his patriotism
among his comrades Of the Gray.
Mr.. Crabtree was born in
Washington, n. c., and at the
outbreak Of the war was
but a lad. When the Fed
eral troops took possession
of that town, which was early
in the COS, all citizens from II
years of age upward were re-
quired to take the oath Of allie
glance. Young Crabtree, then Is
years old, refused TO take the
oath and was thereupon cast in
to prison; but was subsequently
released upon condition that he
leave the town, which he did;
going to Greensboro and there
joining the Confederate Army.
His first service was with the re>
uowned Louisiana Tigers, and
afterwards, until the war ended,
with Freeman's n. G. Brigade,
surrendering with Genl Jos. b.
Johnson's army to Sherman. He
was badly wounded just before
this surrender, and was the last
Confederate soldier to receive a
wound under arms in North
Carolina in defence of the Lost
Cause.
After the war he did a mercan-
tile business in Washington, n.
c., for 12 years, until the death
Of his wife, after which he re-
moved to Baltimore, where he re-

General Campos.
Havana, january 30.

havana, january ~.
General Martinez Campos was
accorded a splendid and effective
farewell demonstration upon the
occasion of his departure from
Havana to Spain to-day. His
palace was filled with a throng of
dignitaries, including members of
the civil corporation, officers of
the army and of the volunteers
and the political friends of the re
firing Governor-General.
At 3 O'Clock he proceeded to
the wharf, surrounded by a
vast crowd which filed through
Obispo, BarrantilIo and O'Reilly
streets. The troops formed an
escort and the Spanish hymn was
taken up by the multitude, who
varied with acclamation for Cam
pos.
The general went on board a
yacht which took him to the Span
ish warship Afronso Doce lying
in the harbor.
The harbor presented Il scene of
great animation, being crowded
with all manner of craft, with
gay colors flying, the yellow flag
of Spain giving the predominant
tinge to the effect. A special
steamer carried members of the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Produce Exchange, and the pri-
vate yachts showed their decks
gay with the attire of many la
dies. General Martin and the
| five members of his family were
| on one of the yachts which es-
corted the Alfonso Doce down the
harbor. There was quite sea
on, which, however, did not de-
tract from the warmth of the ova
ton. The wharf was black with
people as the war vessel fioated
past and all shouted vivas for
Campos. The generals son, aides,
chief of staff and General Ard
erius, his brother in-law, and sec
ond in command, accompanied

MY PRETTY MAID.

"Where are you going, my pretty
maid?" "Going home from school,n
she said. And the fond father lovingly
chuckled his bright-eyed little daughter
under the chin, and she went skipping
merrily towards home, and he to finish
the work of the day.
But there kept ringing in his ears the
words of his child: ''Going home from
school," she said. Home-his home,
the dearest spot on earth to him-wife
and children, how he could sing at his
work, thinking of them. But suppose
l should die, he thought what about
home then: had he made provision for
his family? He had not. Then the
thought of life insurance. He had put
it Off His mind was made up. Now,
what company? There is great old
company called the ''Home Life, =
how appropriate the name. Its mission
is to make comfortable the home life of
the widow and the orphan.
The father did his duty, secured the
policy, and can now say, without
anxiety, "Where are you going, my
pretty maid, - for he knows, in case Of
death, he has made provision for the
little one who so lovingly looked up
into his face, going home from school.

COTTON GROWERS CONVENTION.

The convention of the Ameri~
can Cotton Growers Association
which met at Memphis last Tues
day was in all respects satisfac-
tory.
The attendance was large. the
proceedings were harmonious,
and the conclusions arrived at
were sensible.
The reduced cotton acreage
last year was due directly to the
efforts of this association, and it
is to be hoped that it will be as
successful this year il prevent
ing the folly Of too much cotton
planting The crop Of last year
was about 1000 bales, but the
association thinks it would be
wise to make this year crop even
smaller. This attempt at still
further reduction of cotton acre
age will fail. but if the crop can
be held down to about the size
Of last years crop, the asSocia-
ton will have accomplished a
great thing for the South. The
convention adopted very strong
resolutions advocating the pro-
duction in the South of all the
corn, pork, hay and food crops
which this section will need.
This proposition is a logic cor
rollary of reduction in the cotton
acreage. The land, the time,
the money and the labor that are
taken way from the production
of cotton will be applied to other
and more profitable farm en-
terprises.
/ Georgia raised more corn and
hogs last year than ever before
and the same sound policy was
pursued by farmers in this ano
nearly every other Southern
State. Surely the farmers real
ize how beneficial this reform
has been to them, and we are
10th to believe that they will &C
back in the direction of "all cot
}, ton" There can be but one re.
suit if they do: Their cotton croI
will not pay them and they will
have to buy provisions on ruin
Gus ''time prices" They vii
/ burn the candle at both ends an(
have to pay dearly for theil
folly.
The action of the Memphis
convention should be brought t.
J the attention of the farmer
: throughout the Southern States
and we believe they will appre
ciate the wisdom of the polio,
/ lndorsed by that body of repre-
sentative Southern planters.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Philadelphia Times.


The report Of treaty between
Russia and Turkey is not i'm
probable. If true. its Importance
is tremendous, Russia is the
one power that could interfere
promptly and effectively to re-
store order in the Turkish En-
pire in Ashland to preserve
order, if necessary, at Constan-
tinople. While the murder of
Armenians has been going on un-
checked, it is known that Russia
has had an ample military force
along the border that could oc-
cupy the disturbed region in a
CAV or two. But while the con
cert of powers was maintained
this could not he done without
their consent, and the western
powers would not consent be-
cause of the difficulty of getting
the Russians out when once they
had got in.
And while the Ambassadors
have been laboring with and
threatening the Sultan and max
ing no impression on him, they
have all been evidently distrust-
full of Russian influence. Russia
has never threatened the Sultan.
She has kept on good terms with
him, ever since she whipped
him and the other powers inter-
fered with the treaty then made
between them. This was osten-
siblv to protect Turkey, but
really to despoil it for their own
benefit. Turkey is worse off
than before, and has nothing but
opposition to hope for from the
West. 1t is not unnatural then
that the Turk should find his
interest in a compact with the
great power of the East, where's
by he could continue to reign and
be saved all the trouble of rul-
ing.
There has been demonstra-
tive nterchange of correspon-
dence, and courtesies and gifts
between Constantinople and st.
Petersburg, and that all these IN
dicate compact is far from i'm !
probable. OF course, that must
mean either the solution of the
Eastern question by entire Rus
sian domination, or else a great
war, and it is hard to see how
war could be averted. The pos
session ofConstantinople is not d
mere dream of the moment al
st. Petersburg; it has been 6
fixed national policy never lost
sight of for centuries, and Eng
land at least could no more ac-
quiesce in a treaty that would
make it's realization only a ques
ton of a short time than in its
Immediate achievement by oper
conquest.
1t is fruitless to speculate or
such a subject on the basis only
of rumor, but the mere exist
ence of the rumor shows how
critical the situation is, The

THE CUBAN WAR.

Some OF our prominent publlC
journals have given themselves up
to the most sensational fake re
ports of the Cuban war. When
it is remembered that the govern
ment exercises the strictest censor
ship over all the mails and cables,
the columns of sensational inven-
tions published in some of our
leading newspapers day after day,
purporting to come directly from
Cuba, not only degrade the news
papers which resort to such eX-
pedients, but invite public mock
cry upon the legitimate journal
ism of the day.
Every issue of these newspapers
furnishes interviews with promi-
nent officials on both sides of the
conflict in Cuba who were never
seen and who are entirely ignorant
of the interviews published as
coming from them. They give
proclamations from Cuban and
Spanish officials which have never
been proclaimed, describe journals
to military camps which have
never been made, portray battles
which were never fought and in
Gulge in the widest speculations
as to the movements of the con-
tending forces. AS Cuba is mac
cessible except with the approval
of the government censorship,
these monstrous fakes are never
contradicted, and hundreds of
thousands of people in the coun-
try who are interested in the Gu
ban troubles, are played upon
from day to day by the worst
form of fake journalism.
The New York Herald has been
a notable exception among the
journals which have pretended to
present the news from Cuba. Its
reports have been the most re-
liable of any published in the
United States. While it devotes
usually about column a day to
give full news that can be had by
the most enterprising journal of
the world, other journals which
do not spend one dollar to the
Heralds hundred, publish column
after column each day, depending
upon the inventive resources of
the home Bohemian VINO, while
sitting in his newspaper office in
Philadelphia or New I ork, writes
the most graphic and thrilling re-
ports of events that never occurred
and of sections and camps which
he never saw. 1t is disgraceful
to American journalism that these
almost entirely invented reports
have become feature of news
papers of to-day.
About the only reliable news
that can be obtained from Cuba
comes from the news organiza-
tions known as the Associated and
the United Press. They have
not failed to furnish the facts re-
lating to every important move
1nent made by both sides since the
Cuban struggle began. Some
special correspondents have rem
dered valuable service, but the
dispatches which have been pub
lished as from them have usually
been padded from a brief para
graph to a column or more. All
of the leading journals of the
country furnish the full and com
Iplete news of the progress of af-
fairs in Cuba, and as rule those
which present most give the
least reliable information. 1t is
simply fake journalism, and the
public must soon fully appreciate
| the fraud that is attempted upor
| them.
