The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1897-12-17

San Francisco, CAL, December IA
The Examiner says: The police and
the people Of Emanuel Baptist church
believe that the life of Rev. J. George
Gibson, Durrant's former pastor, is in
danger. The police have warned the
reverned gentleman to protect himself
against the possibility Of harm. The
warming has been needed and DR.. Glib
son is protected night and day. One Of
the members Of his congregation has
volunteered his services as a body
guard and the police will detail an Of
ficer to attend every public service at
Emanuel church. Since the murder in
ahe church many attempts have been
made to cast suspicion on the pastor
and his refusal to be drawn into the
case, even as Durrant's spiritual advi-
sor, has caused much comment.

8 superintendent Smith and Agricultural
Commissioners Mewboorne Kesign-Each
Is to Succeed the Other
tomorrow

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., December 14.-G-eat
surprised is expressed here this even
ing at the news that James NJ. New
boorne has resigned as commissioner OF
agriculture, to take effect December
31st, and that the board Of agriculture
has accepted his resignation. This
was done at a late hour. It is the re-
suit OF a deal by which he becomes
superintendent of the ~penftentiary,
vice John r. Smith, and the latter is
elected to succeed him as agricultural
commissioner. The reason given for
this step is that Mewboorne is consider
ed a far more able manager than
Smith. The deal is made by Governor
Russell. The pe%nitentiary board will
next week elect Mew+bOorne.
A populist state official was asked
tonight to give the true inwardness of
the swap Of offices by Mewboorne and
Smith and said:
1.-The governor was bent on getting
rid of Smith as the pententiary super
intendent and was on the point Of hav-
ing him dropped. He was greatly dis
satisfied with his administration n
his bad financial management. Smith,
I am told, bought far more cotton bag
ging, for instance, than there was any
need for and would buy a $3.50 horse
when a $75 one would have served the
purpose equally as well. Thcn, as I am
told, Smith has fifty more employees
than there is any need for. New
boorne is a good farmer and manager,
and will get rid OF these surplus peo-
pie. John r. Smith and his friends
are placated 10y him being made agri-
cultured commissioner. He can hold
that place all right. 1t will be no
strain on him."

THE FORT FISHER ISLANDER
General Bragg's Letter Was First Publish
ed in the Philadelphia Times in 1880.
The Commando of Fisher to Answer it
In Next Sundays Messenger

AA0 Va G1oACA ~ AZ
In Next Sundays Messenger
The republication of General Bragg's
slanderous letter rejecting upon the
heroes who so galantly defended Fort
Fisher, has naturally stirred up the in
dignation of the survivors who stood in
the breech against the overwhelming
odds which Bragg allowed to sweep down
upon them. The Messenger Sunday pub
lished some communications refuting the
statements made by General Bragg, and
next Sunday we will publish an article
by Colonel William Lamb, who COM
manded Fort Fisher at it's fall, and who
is in the best position to refute the SIAN
der put upon him and the noble men who
successfully held Fort Fisher up to with
in a few months of the surrender of Lees
army itself.
In response to a letter from the pro-
prietors of The Messenger to Colonel
Lamb, he writes us that Bragg's letter
was first published in The Philadelphia
Times in 1880, and in reply to our letter
requesting him to give The Messenger
an article On the matter, he writes us
that he will send US a reply and says: "It
is considered a full vindication of the
chivalrous Whiting an my heroic garri.
son."
In this connection we publish with
pleasure the following:
Wilmington, N. c., December IA.
Messrs. Jackson & Bell:
AS one of the younger generation, in
terested in all tina concerns the honor
of the south and especially North Car
DINA, I felt like writing something when
I read the letter written by General
Bragg about Fort Fisher: but I did not,
hoping some old veteran. better able to
write and more entitled to a hearing,
would reply to the manifestiy false and
grossly unjust statements that SO basely
reflected upon the brave defenders of the
last gateway of the confederacy in their
final strugg against overwhelming
odds; and now, in the name Of young
men of our state and city, I wish to
thank Mr.. James A. Montgomery and
the others who have. through your col
umns, so fully answered General Bragg's
disgusting letter. Yours very truly,
w. NJ. CUMMING.

And now comes a report that
Professor Andree's balloon has passed
over the village of Antzifirowskoje,
in the province of Ineniziskowoz.
We don't doubt it at all, for any
balloon that had any self-respect
would pass over that place as it
would avoid a -KIondiker. 1t is a
wonder the balloon did not get pune
tured on some of the high points Of
those names.

BREVET CAPITALISTS.

Baker and Grant counties, like all
other mining countries, are cursed
with that class of animals known as
mining experts" The true mining
man, who knows something of ore,
has a knowledge gathered while
pounding a drill in the depths of
mine, is a benefit to every mining
camp; but the fellow who travels
around in a blackboard, getting op-
tioDs on everything in the country,
is as much of a curse as the potato
blight, the coddling moth, San Jose
scale, or things of that kind to other
pursuits. He is the rest of the mines,
provided, like all other pests, abund-
antly. As a general proposition, he
is a tin-hon expert, half blanket
capitalist, whose stock in trade is
gall; whose name is legion. He is q
pestIlence and a famine, delusion
and snare, a disgrace to the mining
business, bringing it into disrepute
from his association with it. Instead
of options he should get tar and
feathers, and lots of them.

Secretary Alger is said to be de-
voting considerable time to perfect
ing arrangements for getting supplies
into Dawson City this winter One
inventor has an engine constructed
for running on the ice, and it is
thought this can be made to work on
the Yukon. If the ice were smooth
this would probably do, but the Iu-
kon in freezing has a style similar
to the Columbia, the lower portion
freezing from floating ice, which
makes the surface far from a level
PLAIN to travel over. If people will
be so crazy as to rush into such
places, they must abide by the con-
sequences. OF course humanity can
not stand back and permit them to
starve without making some effort
for their relief; but if these gold
craZed fanatics set q task for the
charitable that the latter cannot per-
form, and do it deliberately and
with generalization, they can have no
fault TO find when beset by starva-
tion.
