THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the

After Forty Years

Rev. Father James f. Mackin. Of st.
Paul's church, Washington, D.. c., ar
rived here yesterday on a visit to
friends of his boyhood days. Father
Mackin was wrecked off Southport,
hen Smithville, some forty years ago,
and was rescued by Captain o
Thompson and Captain Dosher, we'll
known Cape Fear pilots. and was cared
for by Sergeants James Reilly and
Jake Malarky, then in charge of Fort
CaSweal for the United States govern
ment. Sergeant Reilly was afterwards
the gallant Major Reilly, of the confed-
crate states army. and one OF the he
roes of Fort Fisher.
Father Mackin belonged in Baltimore
and came from the West Indies, work.
ing his way home as a sailor lad. He
remained here and at Smithyille Il
couple of years and during his resi-
dence at Smithville served on the Fry
ing pan shoals lightship with Captain
John Wesley Galloway father OF our
townsmen DR.. w. c. Galloway and
Captain John w. Galloway. He speaks
interestingly OF the people who lived
here in The ffties and though this is
his first visit in forty years he re-
members we'll many OF those living and
many who have passed away. Last
evening he was entertained at the hos
pitable home of Major ID. O'Connor.
whose good wife was the daughter OF
Major Reilly. BY the way. we learn
that Major Reilly was TN. first to place
a prayer book in the hands OF the
young sailor lad VINO afterwards be-
came a convert and Catholic priest.
in company with Colonel +. w.
Kerchner and others. Father Mackin
viii today visit Southport and other
points to recall the scenes Of his youth.
He had a desire to come here and see
what Wilmington and southport looked
like after forty years. He and the
Rev. Father NJ. 5. Gross, well known
here, We're ordained to the priesthood
at the same time, and Father Gross.
at the time OF his death was his assis-
tant at Washington.
Father Mackin WI leave here Saur-
day for Fayetteville where he will hold
services on Sunday.

Europe empty its paupers upon our
shores is filing UP our alms-houses,
n increasing the burdens OF the toll
ers. Senator Fairbanks says in his
telling speech that in the criminal cal
endar 57.36 per cent. OF the crime Is
apparent among juvenile offenders. In
cases Of insanity, 1t Is also found that
the foreign element contributed an un-
due proportion.
How as To increasing the already
large fldteracy in our land? OF foreign
born criminals 2o.56 Per cent. We're IL
fIierates, and OF foreign born paupers
30.11 per cent. are il-iitera.es. Senator
Fairbanks says:
In Baltimore :. per cent. % the TO-
tai SUM population is OF foreign birth
CIR parentage; in Chicago. 90 per cent:
in New York % per cent. and IN Phila-
delphia, 81 per cent"
We have before US several tables
compiled from the eleventh census set
ting forth in detail al that we have
stated above.
So far from the latter-day immi-
grants ~beneiting our country by bring
ing in capital, it is known that many
OF them accumulate after being here
and ship their money to Europe. II
might be concluded that they design TO
return by that. Senator Fairbanks
says that annually from s25, 200, 600 to
$780, oo,o 900 are shipped alone through
Italian bankers in New York and to
Italy alone. If there had been an edu
c~ational test last year 81, 900 illiterates
would have been excluded.
The Tribune and Post make much
d over the failure to shu out anar-
chists, &c, by an educational test.
That is unfortunately so, but it will
shu outa large element of paupers and
criminals. Said Senator Fairbanks in
his able speech:
TT is urged that his bill does not ex-
clude the most Objectionable elements
the anarchists, the agitators, and
enemies of social order. Unfortunate
ly this charge is too we'll founded. Too
frequently those who are enemies of
the law and seek the subversion of
government would be able to comply
with an educational test: but should
we ignore and make no provision
against a lesser evil because, forsooth,
we are unable to Iabate the greater?
Not all of those whose tenets are at
war with established society are of the
educated classes. Some of the most vio-
lent ultra-socialists are found among
the illiterate industrial aborers in the
worst portions of Austria-Hungary.
and many of them would be debarred
by the requirements of the pending
measure"

ern white people when we should have
made friends of them"
Every word of this is true. How Of
ten through the last thirty years have
we essayed u teach this very lesson
that a sensible negro preacher in 1898 Is
enforcing upon his race. If the negroes
he'd been wisely dealt with from 1865
= now, and had been under honest
and able leadership 1T would have been
vastly better for them and for the
whites. The condition Of the south
would have been altogether different.
The ravages and roDDeries of the a T
pet-bag government could never rave
occurred in the south. Probably $780,
OO0, 900 would have been saved to the
people that were wrenched from them
under the demands of spofiation work
ed to complete consummation by the
ingenious r~ascalitfes and combined
labors of carpet-baggers and SCALA
wags. Today the condition of North
Carolina-so lamentable, 50 (hurniiia-

possibly be what it is. We hope to
recur to his timely and wise address.

THE sBILL RESTRICTING IMMI.
GRAFTON.

In the United States senate the i'm
migration bill passed, with TWO amend
ments, by a vote Of 45 to %. 1t is
noticeable that many democrats voted
against the bill. The bill provides that
all immigrants over 16 years old shall
be able to read or write the English
language or some other language, out
a person not able to read or write who
is over 30 years old, and is the parent
or gr~and-parent of a qualified immi-
grant over u years of age and capable
of supporting such a parent or
gTandparent, may accompany the
immigrant, or the parent or grandpa
rent may be sent for and come to join
the family of the child or grandchild
over u years of age qualified under
the law; and a wife or minor child not
able to read or write may accompany
or be sent for to come and join the
husband or parent who is qualified.
We have seen such newspapers as
The New York Tribune and Washing
ton Post opposing the bill. The
Tribune is moved by party necessities
and considerations more h argu-

HYDROPHOBIA.

Some months ago there was a con-
siderable firing into the maidstone
and it was pronounced an unmitigated
fraud and deception by several of the
state newspapers. We said nothing,
while We recalled hat for sixty years
we had heard of the Pointer maidstone.
The owner lived in Person county, We
think it was, next county to the county
We then lived in. We often heard it
spoken of as a sovereign remedy to
prevent hydrophobia- We heard of
this stone until we left the county in
1860. No one ever dOubted it's efficacy
as an antidote to poison from a mad
dog. In the last number of Fa~irbroth-
er's Farrago, a very neat, sprightly
paper published at Danville, Va, there
is a communication from w. H. Power
& Son, Ringgold, Va, Pittsylvania
county, relative to a very old mad stone
in their possession. They state many
persons have been treated for bites of
maddogs, snakes, spiders, and they
have hundreds of testimonials showing
the complete efficacy of the stone. They
publish a letter from the venerable n
prominent citizen of Pittsylvania, DR..
R. V. B~arsdale, now in his S0th year,
and for fifty-eight years a leading
practicing physician. He says:
This is to certify that during an ac-
tive practice of medicine for fifty-eight
years 1 have sent very many cases of
persons having been bitten by rabid
dogs to both Pointer of North Carolina,
and Power of Ringgold, Va, and have
never known a cas- in which they fail
ed to cure, and I can therefore, from
a long experience, bear testimony to the
efficacy of the stone. I consider it g.
specific for hydrophobia.
r. V. Barksda1e, NJ. D.,
Danville, Va.
In medicine as in other things prac-
'tice is better than theory and an ounce
of preventive is worth a pound of cure.
That there are some stones possessing
marvellous curative, or preventive
qualities we may not reasonably
doubt. That ~nine-tenths, possibly
ninety-nine hundreths of the so-called
m~adstones are frauds we are quite dis
posed to believe.

If Russell had to appoint a senator
who would it be? He would have very
poor senate timber to select from? He
would hadly give it to Oliver Dockery.
1t shows in what confidence he is held
by his republican allies when Pritch-
ard will not resign his place in the SEN
ate for a judgeship because he and his
friends have no confidence in Russell's
loyalty to their party or judgment in
selecting. 1t has been written
