Fiftieth Anniversary.

Next year, 1899, James Vick's Son will
sesebrate the fiftieth Anniversary of the
establishment of their flower and seed cat
alogue. James Wick was the first man in
America to publish an illustrated seed
catalogue. That first catalogue would
doubtless present a remarkable contrast
compared with the beautiful book of l20
pages presented to their patrons this
year. The present firm propose to pre-
sent to all their patrons of 1898 a hand
some souvenir of their anniversary at the
opening of the year 1899. They offer
many bargains this season. Noticeable
% that of the Rambler roses.
Last season one of these plants sold for
fifty cents, but this year James Weeks
Sons of Rochester, n. Y. offer one each
Of the white, yellow and crimson Ramb-
Eers for only forty cents. Vjck's Garden
and Floral Guide, an elegant work of 12O
barge pages. the best ever sent out by this
house, will be mailed free upon applica-
6iOn.

COMPLAINTS OF DISCRIMINATION

There is a widely prevailing belief
now that the war department has been
sectional in war-that it has steadily
Disseminated against the south and
from the beginning Of the war. Up to
now, after three months and more Of
war not a single southern regiment
has been sent to a seat OF war. Gen
eral Wheeler is about the only con-
federate who has any showing to see
a Spaniard, while General Lee has
been side-tracked and kept safe In the
south. Personally We do not object
to this disposition to ignore the south
as we do not desire to see our brave
boys butchered for such specimens as
have come to light in the Philippines,
or in Cuba. We prefer to see the
north do the fighting as it is the north
that has gone into Mysteries ove Cuba
and reams of frothy sentiment have
been used up in singing its praises.
But in as much as the call for troops
was general and the south had its
regular allotment of quotas in the
call, and this has been responded to
promptly, it is but proper and fair that
there should be equal rights accorded
and no sectional determinations. The
excuse given is that southern troops
were not equipped and prepared for war
while northern troops were. Hence
the northern were sent to the front
first. Very well if true. But some
how the southern troops were not
armed and clothed promptly, and
Maryland had two fine regiments Oh
a war footing at the start and they
were not sent. We believe that south
ern volunteers after two months in
camp would do good fighting. They
used to do it in less time in the great
war.

A

We suppose that peace prospects are
good. Spain is really in no condition
to continue a hopeless fight, and she
is too poor to pay indemnity. 1t
would look as if a fair amount of or
binary common-sense would dictate
conclusion of a peace on her part.
BY ~protracting war she cannot posi-
bly, better her condition or make more
agreeable to her final demands on the
part of the United States. We sim
cerely hope that very soon-within a
fOrtnight-both countries will have
arrived at such an understanding as
to bring permanent peace. 1t cannot
be said that the terms offered by our
country are hard under the circum-
stances. The English press think
them liberal. The people of the
United States will not be satisfied now
after so much warning and expendi-
ture Of means with any thing short
of the driving out Of Spanish authori-
ty from western waters. The terms
are more favorable than the people
prefer. Cuba to be free; Porto Rico
to be owned by the United States; a
LadrOn island to be coded as a coaIing
station; all Spanish forces to be with
drawn from the West Indies, and the
Philippines to be settled hereafter in
their final disposal. A joint commits
sion composed of men of Spain and
United States are to arrange the De-
tails as to the Philippines. In the
mean time a startling dispatch from
Admiral Dewey comes stating that the
insurgents in the Philippines will give
great trouble to this country, and that
$50, 600 men will be required to sup
press the ~half-savages out there.

RREVITIES.

The United States have learned a
lesson at some cost-that the people
in outlying countries are some times
so debased and uncivilized as to offer
but poor returns and no encourage
ment for delivering them from power
they revolt against. The Cuban in
surgents and the Philippine insurrec-
tionists are a hard lot.
The health reports from the Ameri-
can army in Cuba show widespread
sickness but very few deaths. There
are more deaths in the southern camps
at home than in Cuban camps.
We neither talk nor walk Spanish,
but take the following pronunciations
from Harper's Weekly of some names
often in peoples mouths and in vain
effort to call them right: Blanco is
Blahn-coh. Camara is Cah-mah-rah.
Cervera, is Thair-vay-rah. Gomez is
GOh-mayth. Garcia is Gahr-thee-ah.
Habana is Hah-vah-nah. Santiago is
Sahn-tee-ah-goh. Vizcaya is Veeth-
cah-Zah. Cadiz is Cah-deeth. After
you have mastered these we may copy
some more.
The business outlook is reported
very hopeful and bright.
The Messenger differs from those
papers that think the old issues should
be dead and the old lies should stand
uncorrected. There is a wrong
time to correct an error or to get his
tory straight.
DIR. William Pepper, a very eminent
physician of Philadelphia, is dead. He

STATE-PRESS

~SelfShneSS, personal gain and pre-
ferment, desire for promotion for self
and favOriteS, have marked every turn
of affairs in our state government
since Russell's administration began;
and all ought to know that as long as
such influences are dominant, the
states every interest must suffer.
Now, we are all brethren of the same
common family; we are all citizens of
the same state and country; our inter-
eStS are all the anne and our efforts
ought all be expended in the same
cause together for the mutual help of
zach other. Let us bury all past preju-
dices, therefore. and come together
heart and hand in one united effort
off the calling and h~umiliating yoke
that upon us.-Scotfand Neck
Democrat.
We are a strong believer in REVEALS,
not merely on the subject of religion
but on other things which pertain to
the general welfare and happiness Of
mankind. In spite of the fact that we
have splendid schools and colleges in
North Carolina, the great masses of
our people are not awake on the sub
ject of education. We need in this sec
ton a general awakening all along the
line and we would like to see all over
our county a powerful revival among
our people on the subject of educating
their sons and daughters, and thuS
preparing them to successfully fight
the great and terrible battles of life.
If you converse with people on the sub
ject, all will frankly admit that educa-
ton is something very important and
desirable, but inability or a want of
means is always used as an excuse for
personal negligence in this important
matter. There is an old and true say
ing that where there is a will there is
also a way" and individual history
does certainly demonstrate the fact
that this is true in regard to all these
who hav made strong efforts to edu-
cate their children.-Fair Bluff Times.

DEATH OF PRINCE BISMARCK

The illustrious statesman of Ger
many is dead. He passed away at his
castle last Saturday. He was in the
eighty-fourth year Of his age. His
health has been declining for some
years. He was the greatest man of
the German race since Goethe died in
1882, and in craftsmanship he was
doubtless the foremost of his country
in all time. He was a most extraor
binary development of this productive
nineteenth century, most masterful
mind, with a most imperious, domi-
mating spirit. He was in a high sense
a nation builder, and to him it is
chiefly owing that for the last twenty
seven years there has been an united
Germany and a great German empire.
Ia man of blood and iron Prince Bis
marck allowed nothing to stand in his
way of consolidating the independent
Germanic countries under n blend
ed and solidifed empire. 1t was an
achievement of very great distinction,
and one every way worthy OF the no
bile plansSapd high Ideals of the great
diplomat and Statesman. Bismarck had
been a soldier and was brave and self
reliant. All the energies Of his ma

HOME FOLKS

The combining or fusing of black
radicals and populists continues. 1t
is just as the Messenger has all along
said would be the case. How much
principle was there in the populist
proposition to fuse with the democrats
think you? How much Of sincerity in
the p%retense that they desired to de-
feat the black radicals and deliver the
old state from the power of the de-
stroyers? Such pretence, such politics
are disgusting. The whole gang of
populists that follow bad leadership
will be yelping at the heels of Butler,
Skinner and Co., before November
comes. The independent, intelligent,
honest men among the pOpulists will
steer clear of this most foul conspir-
acy, and help the democrats to redeem
the noble old commonwealth and save
it from destruction and disgrace.
