Mr.. S~tnfrnons's Book
Editors Messenger:

Editors Messenger:
/ am glad to see your editorial com
mendation OF the little book published
by my friend Mr.. L. 5. Simmons on
the future OF the negro people among
us. The book has interested me and
l wish that our people would read 1t
with care and hin as seriously over
the matter discussed by Mr..
as he has done. 1t is by no means nee
essary for us to agree with his con-
ciusion for the book to be useful. He
concludes that the negroes should De
induced TO mass themselves in the re-
gion that includes parts of Alabama,
Mississippi. Louisiana and Arkansas.
making If necessary three new states
for that purpose. Even If such an OBJ
jcCt were i~ndIsputably desirable, we
would have to reckon with the indispo-
sition OF the negroes to remove from
their present homes and the purpose
would probably fail.
But the general subject Of the negro
race is of the highest import to the
south. 1t should receive the most
careful, consideration. and II is be-
cause Mr.. simmons approaches il in
the right spirit that l wish his book
to be generally read.
The chief purpose OF the southern
" AAlAtS Ava nv AAoN u vi haNR
been to lay immovable foundations for
the eternal perpetuation of race dis
tinCtion, establishing forever the social
superiority of the whites and securing
the domination of their moral ideas
and intellectual influences, and their
political a~scendenCy. But along with
this purpose has been the desire TO
maintain kindly relations between the
races. Such objects have been and will
be entitled TO the gratitude OF our
posterity. Mr.. Simmons deals with
some phaZes of these matters, and
whether it is because that being blind
his thoughts turn inward and feed on
the truthfulnesS OF his frank. noble
nature-or that through affiction, he
has become a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he
inculcates correct principles and Views
in regard to race relations.
Sympathizing largely with those
views, and realizing that much de-
Ponds in the south on the maintenance
Of kindly relations between the races,
and feeling that a perusGl of this lit
tie book will END to strengthen and
confirm us in our disposition to deal
with the negroes most kindly, I you'd
be glad for our people to read il and
give 1t careful consideration.
In saying this, I 10 not mean To say
that any reader ought to concur III
all his views or follow hin 10 hia con
clusion, but only that n perusal OF tn"
book will. + hope. be Of practical benc-
fit and advantage TO our people.

WILMINGTON, n. C..
FRIDAY, JULY l, 1898.
STARTLING NEWS JUST AHEAD

If Camara should try to get to Ma
Mia will the American squadron really
go to the coast of Spain? Many think
and so some news indicates, that the
Spaniard will never reach, possibly,
not try to reach Manila. Is not the
American formation of a squadron to
be sent into the Spanish home waters
more Of a bluff in the game than a
reality, intending it to be a threat of
purpose in retaliation, when probably
the attack will never be made.
The news from Cuba is profoundly
exciting and of a two-fold character.
The reports, seemingly reliable, from
Havana are Of a most informing char
acter. The distress is terrible among
the non-combatants, the chance of re-
volts most threatening and the reign
of terror already on call tours" and
promising to wax more deperate
daily. Starvation may ome to do its
deadly work and give the last blow to
the lettering reign of Spanish power
in a beautiful city so long time op-
pressed. So be it. Speed the day!
The condition at Santiago, if not mis-
represented by American dispatches, is
also following closely upon that Of
Havana. There is a direful reign of
terror, but of another kind. It is more
a horror of destruction awaiting upon
the people from the American ships
than from the exercise of any high
handed d~ispotism by Spanish authori-
ties. u~
The other most striking feature of
the recent news is the tremendous
strength Of the Spanish defences, and
the desperate fighting. with the almost
i%nsuperable obstacles interpOsing, that
the American army will have to in
counter and try to overcome. 1t must
be attended with great loss of life if
the Spaniards prove as efficient fight
ers as they often do.
The reports from the Cuban help are
not rOseate tinted. Our men do not
repose much confidence in their fight
ing qualities and general efficiency.
Then they are not in any imposing
strength. In a few days We may all
expect very exciting news. May God
be with the American arms and give
victory for the sake of outraged hui
manity.

A SNAPSHOT.

We take stock in Captain Sigsbee
and are glad he had a chance to show
his metal and do good work for his
country. 1t is pleasant to know that
soon the American army in Cuba will
be much increased. The Is, 500, deduct
ing killed and wounded, will be rein
forced by l 1900 or more speedily and
none too soon. All the signs indicate
that a large Spanish force is at Santi-
age and behind strong and perhaps
impossible offences. General 10
Wheeler is clearly mo slouch." He as
cended a tree to make observations,
but you will not catch the little confed-
crate general taking to a tree in bat
tie. He is not made of that soft stuff,
but is plucky to repletion. Our young
North Carolinian, Lieutenant Victor
Blue, has again rendered excellent ser
vice in accommodating. He is we'll
named in the CONGRATULATIONS he
is never Blue" but in name when he
is carrying out an adventure and dis
covering hidden Spanish secrets. The
war moves bravely on and the army is
showing that it is able to compete in
valor with the navy and that
both are worthy of the American peo-
pie. The news from Manila is full of
interest and hope. The Spanish rule
is fast passing away. With troops
surrounding and sickness prevailing
and the insurgents beleaguering the
city, it looks as if the doom of the
Spaniards was fixed and very near at
hand. If an American fleet should go
to Spain and lombard Cadiz it would
throw the Dons into a straight-jacket
plight at once.

We recently called attention to the
new bankrupt bill that will probably
become a law. The bill as agreed upon
by the conference of committees ap-
pointed by the two houses requires
that a debtor cannot go into
bankruptcy unless an i~nsolvent-
that is he must be a debtor whose
property at a fair valuation is not
enough to liquidate his Indebtedness.
There are W kinds OF bankrupts, vol
untary and involuntary. An insolvent
who has made way with his property
to defraud can be forced into the pan
kruptcy court against his will, or he
can be forced into court When he has
disposed Of property for the purpose
Of giving a preference to any Of his
creditors; when he has given such
preference by legal proceedings; when
he has made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors, and when he
has admitted in writing that he is
bankrupt. The confession of judgment
and the creation Of a lien of any kind
by the debtor within four months be-
fore the time he is %adjudged bankrupt
is a nullity, and all ~conveyances of his
property within four months of such
adjudication are declared to be void,
unless the transfer be made to a bona
fide purchaser for value.
The war has not increased or de-
creaS2d business according to Dun's
last report, of the 25th instant. Wheat
after falling way down is beginning
to rise because of foreign demand. 1t
is worth SO cents cash and 70 cents
for July. Boot and shoe trade has
slightly declined. Dun says: The VOL
ume Of business shown by clearing
house exchanges, 1874 per cent. larger
than last year for the week, but only
ST. per cent. larger than in 1892, ap-
pears less encouraging than in recent
months, although for June to date the
increase is 1875 per cent. over last year,
and 1872 per cent. over 1892. Railroad
earnings also indicate less gain than in
earlier months this year."
Failures for last week were 2S5,
against 233 the week before or 216 for
1897 for the corresponding week. A
bad showing. The south had &c,
last year.

Colonel W. J. Hicks, is appointed to
succeed Mr.. n. NJ. Lawrence, as sup
erintendent of the Oxford Orphan Asy-
lum. We feel warranted in saying
that it is a most wise, iudicious se.ec-
ton, and could lot be improved upon

were amazed to learn from the last OK

renee had been practically dismissed

prevailing opinion there that never was

was kicked out, but doubt not it gave
great offence to thousands of the

lima. Our prominent and highly es-
teemed ~townsman, H. H. Munson, Esq,

for a horse he was led into the stable,
where there was great choice, but was

"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula OF his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and hen scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve

A new question will come up before
the United States supreme court it is
thought in connection with the new
tax levied known as "the graduated
inheritance tax" It is contended by
its enemies that it is unconstitutional
to levy a tax on .legacies and distribut-
ed shares of personal property. Up
north there is a rich class with it's
numerous organs Of opinion that loudly
denOunCe an income tax so as to reach
equitably n righteously the riches
which a man possesses. 1t fused and
fumed until the supreme court decided
it was unconstitutional to compel the
nabobs and plutocrats to pay their full
share of taxes upon their actual riches.
Now conclusions will be tried relative
to the inheritance tax. What the SUI
preme court may do no man can prob
ably foretell. 1t nay decide hat the
tax is all right. The ground taken as
to the income tax was that it was di-
rect taxation, and that was uncOnsti-
t%utional. Is the inheritance tax direct
also?
