HoBSoN IS OF TAR HEEL STOCK.


Richmond Pearson Hobson, the hero of
the hour, comes of North Carolina stool,
that has made reputation and glory for
the State. Though born in Alabama, his
mother was daughter of the greatest
lawyer the State has produced and he is
grandson of the State.
Mr.. Hobson had made for himself a
high place in the Navy before the daring
deed which puts his name on every lip.
He was n scholar and had won honors
in this country and abroad, He was
selected for the daring feat that chal-
lenges worldwide admiration, both be-
cause of his knowledge of naval con
struction and his daring spirit.
Years ago this incident was told that
shows the stuff of which Hobson is
made: In the Naval Academy there is
rule which the instructors have never
been able to enforce that officers on duty
must report their classmates as well as
other cadets. That is a rule which the
w..
When young Hobson, shortly after en-
tering the academy, was put on duty as
an officer he reported any dereliction of
his classmates as well as other cadets.
For this violation of what his class
mates felt was going back on his com
rades." young HobsOn was boycotted by
his class. most of them refusing even to
speak to him during the four years term.
He believed he had done right, made no
along in the quiet discharge of what he
regarded his duty. A short time before
the members of the class,
who had come to respect his devotion to
right as he saw it. made overtures look
ing to friendly relations. These he de-
clined to entertain. telling them that he
had finished his course without their as
sistance or companionship, and now that
he was about to leave the academy, he
did not care for it. This action gained
for him the profound respect of all his
and the entire academy, even
those who disagreed with his idea of
the course man should pursue. He
at the head of his class,
though he was its youngest member.
A man who could invite and bear the
ostracism of his class by devotion TO
what he regarded the right rule of action
is the man who could be trusted to the
most important duty that has fallen to
Simpsons fleet during the Spanish war.
Such n man can stand anywhere without
flinching.

IT'S A FALsEHoOD.

This weeks Progressive Farmer con-
tanned the following untruthful para
graph:
1--WE have it from the lips Of an attor-
ney for the Southern Railroad Company,
that SO out of the 36 members of the
new State committee of the so-called
Democratic party, are lawyers, and that
% of these are paid attorneys for the
Southern Railroad Company. A party
of. for and by the corporations, verify.
Both these statements are untrue. If
d Southern Railroad attorney gave this
information he was one of the Republl-
can contingent who made the false state
ment for political effect.
Everybody knows that the Progressive
Farmer is a straight Republican paper,
always in recent struggles stabbing its
own candidates and opposing its party
policies and pursuing the course best cal
cnlated to help the Republican party.
1t has Il right to prefer the negro and
goldbug party to the white and silver
party. but it has no right to quote the
false statements of an attorney who
could have no other object than to injure
the Democratic party.
Let the Progressive Farmer give the
name of it's railroad attorney and he
will have to confess that his statement
is not true. If the Progressive Farmer
will not give its authority, it ought to
puplicly apologize and confess that it has
given circulation to an nntruthful state
ment manufactured for partisan pur
poses.

CONDITIONS CAUSED BY INCOMPETENCE

Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, who has been
living in camp at Tampa, Fla, has made
careful study Of the situation, and
writes a plain and forcible statement of
the facts in the current number Of Har-
per's Weekly. He says that owing to
the lack of Il properly regulated food sup
ply, the health of the men is steadily
deteriorating, while every day they are
compelled to see trains going North
loaded with fresh fruit and vegetables,
Of which supplies. 50 necessary i'll a
tropical climate, they are deprived by
some mismanagement. The average ac-
tual strength of each regiment is one
half the nominal required quota, and, to
crown all, there is no man at the head
of things or any body of staff officers
capable Of correcting the evils. Mr..
Bigelow's experience abroad enables him
to make valuable and suggestive com
PARSONS, and his observations and
opinions are Of the greatest interest.
The letter conclues:
''We can thrash Spain any time we
choose. But just now it would do us
all much more good to discover why.

troops are losing their vitality in
Florida, with not single regiment

dead, but had written Il letter to his
sweetheart saying he had about re-
covered from his wounds. The New

showing that Voltz is not only alive but
very much alive:
Robert Voltz is sailor on the gun

carried on board the Nashville he mad
one bullet through his head and another
through his liver.
Both were from Mauser rifles, and
the doctors said he would die. Every
body on board the Nashville mourned
him as dead already. Voltz was brought
to Key West, where he went into the
artillery barracks hospital and astonish-
ed the doctors by persisting i'm getting
better. He got leave to visit town yes

'He had some Of his pay in his pocket.

him cut loose from the hospital, and
he insisted on remaining on board to

Most of the papers, in publishing list
of the Democratic nominees for Superior
court judges, put Hon. Henry II. Bryan
down as a candidate for Judge of the
Third district, whereas he is the candi-
date in the Second district. This error
doubtless arises from the fact that at
this time Judge Bryan is holding the
courts in the Third district, of which
Judge Timberlake is the resident judge.
