Lieut.. Wellington Wishart Dead.

Lieut.. Wellington Wishart died
October 9th, 1897, at his home
near Lumberton, in this county.
He was nearly IS years Of age and
married Delany Meares in Septem-
Der, 1858. He was a Democrat of
Democrats all the days of his life.
Lieutenant Wishart was captain
of the militia in his district be-
fore the war, and entered the
Confederate army in April or
May, 1861, as Second Lieutenant
of R. M. Moments company,
afterwards Company A, in the
10Th N. G. Regiment, Cook S
Brigade. And no more gallant
brigade was in the army of
Northern Virginia." no better
regiment was in that brigade and
no company was superior to Com
pany A in that regiment, and no
officer in that company excelled
Lieutenant Wishart in faithful
ness, fidelity and valor. His rec
ord in that army was such that if
deeds on earth can entitle one to
enter the pearly gates of heaven
when his pure soul appeared there
''the recording angel dropped a
tear upon his faults and blotted
them out forever But he did
not rely upon his own good deeds
or upon his own strong arm, but
upon the promises of one whose
promises never fail-upon Him
''Who marks the sparrow's fall,
Who Gains the elemental war,
] Whose mantle is yon bound1ess sky"
For he joined the Baptist church
at Antioch at the age of Is anc
remained a membero Of that church
until 1868, when he had his mem
bership removed to thes Baptist
church at Lumberton, of which
church he was a member at thu
time of his death, and membe
j that you would not have to go t,

ANNOUNCEMENT.

complaint at the subscription
price of the RoBEeoNIAN and
numerous requests have been made
that it be reduced. TO all of
these the former publisher digni-
fiedly but firmly declined to ac-
cede. He commended, and his re0s-
oning was just, that paper of
the character and standing of the
RoBEsoNINN was we'll worth the
price asked for it. This being
the case no reduction was made.
When the RoBEsc MAN came
into the possession of the present
management the question of redu-
cling the price again came up and
a number of warm friends of the
paper advised us that it would be
wise to do so, rs q vast majority
of the papers in the State were
sold for less m9ney. Other friends
of the paper thought that q mis-
take would be made if the price
was lowered. We believed with
the latter and six months of hard
work on the paper has convinced
MS that we made no mistake when
decided to adhere to the old price
the RoBEsoNIAN gives a news SER
vice that is second to that of no
weekly paper of North Carolina
and if there is a paper in the
State worth the price charged for
il land we belieye.there is hardly
q paper in the State that is not
worth more than it's subscription
price)it is worth what is asked.
1t is true other papers are sold for
less, but they do not contain the
same amount of news that inter
ests Robson county readers that
the RoBEsoNIAN does, nor do they
specially work for their interests
But there is a special object il
this article, which will now b.
made plain. While the RoBEso
MAN is well worth the money ask
ed for it, the recent fall in the prize
of cotton has lessened the profit
of the farmers and as they are Thu
principal supporters Of the paper
we have decided to share part O
the losses with them and to Civ
them the RoBEsoNIAN at reduc
ton if they comply with the con
ditions of the contract. These ar
rs follows:
From this date until the frs
of January, 1893, the RoBEsoNIA,
wilt be sent to all new subscriber
one year for 81 so, six months TO
IS cents, four months so cents
In every instance the cash mus
accompany the order for subscrir
ton. Present subscribers of tn
paper can get the benefit of tn
above rates by paying up the
back dues and renewing.
This reduction, if taken advar
tage of, means a loss Of about SAC
year upon the present subscril
ton list, and our expectation
that moro than enough new name
will be added to make up the def
cheney. Then, too, by making tt
reduction and giving the poop
the RoBEsoNIAN a third longer fl
their money than they now ges
we adopt the cash in-advance sy
tenn and avoid making out bill
for subscription and dunnlng.
Remember, you can only g
the RoBEsoNIAN at the reduce
price by paying for it in advanc
Ne exception will be made to TIL
rule. If credit is given, the pre-
ent rate of $500 will apply. TIL
proposition is only open until Il
first of January. If it is to
continued beyond that time d,
announcement will be given.
At $3.50 q year the RoBEsoN1I
Is by far the cheapest paper in t.
county. 1t should go in eve
home at that price.

Mr. David q. Talbot is a well-known and
respected citizen Of Otsego County, New
York, residing at Edmeston, who three years
ago had O stroke Of paralysis, which lac ate
tributes to the effects of wound received on
the 10Th Of June, 1864, before Petersburg,

pcan Governments be Resisted at Any

peror william.
Athens. Feb. 20.-A dispatch from
Canea says that the Greek army has
taken the offensive and attacked the
Turkish outpOsts at Plategia. The
Turkish outposts were overpowered
and compelled to retire In the direc-
ton of the town. The Greek regulars
shared in the attack on Vouklasie. One
officer and three soldiers were killed
Eleven soldiers were wounded. The
Greek artillery destroyed the fortress
of Vcukalasie. The advance guard Of
the garrison succeeded in reaching the
Turkish outpost west of Canea. The
fate of the other members Of the gar
rison is unknown. According to the
early reports received, the garrison of
Fort Voukalasie consisted of 300 sol
diers and 100 Cretan Mussulmans.
The proposals OF some Of the Euro
pean powers to take coercive measures
against Greece to enforce their pro
hibition of Greek action in Crete have
aroused fierce public resentment
throughout the kingdom, and popular
demands that the government resist
the action of the powers at any cost
are being made In all quarters.
The government, backed by the un-
animous sentiment Of the people, still
insists that the Greek hotilla in Gre
tan waters shall be allowed to act in
accordance with the purposes for
which the vessels We're sent. If the
European squardons should prevent
Greece from acting against the Turks
by sea, revolution in Macc1oril and
Epirus is certain TO follow.
IN the chamber yesterday the pre-
mier, NJ Deyannis, introduced bill
abolishing the corsulates Of Greece in
the island Of Crete.
The Greek steamer Pan Hellenic,
conveying munitions Of war to the in
surgents in Crete. has been stopped
/ by a British cruiser and turned bacls.
/ a British cruiser also prevented thc
steamer Le.l from landing provisions
on the Island Of Crete, but it is under-
stood the prohibition only applied to
that portion Of the coast occupied by
the powers.
The Greek consul at Canea has asked
his government to send more men-of-
war The foreign consuls have ex-
ected from the insurgents a promise
to give 12 hours notice in case Of an
attack on Halepa.

The Emperor's Proposal for a Blockade
Promptly R,Jeoted.
Berlin, Feb. 2O.-The newspapers Of
this city reflect the bitter resentment
felt by Emperor William at the re-
lection by the Marquis of Salisbury OF
his majestys personal proposal to CO.
erce Greece by a joint blockade of the
Piraeus, the port of Athens, by the
fleets Of the powers.
The emperor's proposal caused great
surprise in diplomatic circles, as it was
generally assumed hat he would not
oppose the Greek pretensions in regard
to Crete, owing to his sister, Sophia,
being the wife OF the Duke of Sparta,
the crown prince of Greece. But it ap-
pears that there has long been an alb
solute enlargement between the en-
peror and his sister, arising from old
time quarrels, and his majesty in adj
dition has never been over friendly to
the royal family of Greece.
The emperor's proposal to blockade
the Plraeus was urged by his majesty
with unusual vehemence The Mar
outs of Salisbury, without any hesita-
ton promptly declined the emperor's
proposition, saying that public opinion
in Great Britain would never acquiesce
In such a policy.

offered her vote in the precinct in
which she lives, at Lafayette, and on
being refused brought suit for her

she declared her suit to be a plea for
freedom in a government which de-
rives all it's powers from the consent
