Truth Crushed Shall Rise.
Greensboro Telegram,l

One of the pleasantest ebullitions
of the recent great Dewey celebration
at New York and Washington is the
rebuke TO Mckinley and his favorites
for their un ust treatment Of the hero
of Santiago. In the peoples hearts is
where glory lives, not in the decisions
Of preiudiced and jealous cliques. And
when the multitudes gave the bronzed
destroyer of SPANS finest fleet the
true recognition, when they yelled
for him so wildly and loud and long
that many thought Dewey had done
some grand civil act, then was sweet
vengeance Schley' She was amply
repaid for the loss of his commission
and for the months Of shameful neg
lect and obscurity he has suffered
from the naval bosses because his
friends-not he-dared to claim for
him the laurels of the last great fight
of the American navy.
Admiral Dewey is a gentleman, as
we'll as brave seaman. He knows
Schley's worth and was not ashamed
to keep waiting for two minutes
worldwide celebrities, while he con-
versed in tender tones with his friend.
The description of the meeting of
the two heroes of the two oceans, is
very interesting and follows:
The Admiral alighted- from his car
riage, the troopers being lined up at
present arms, and assembled to the
small platform in the center of the
huge one, and there met a distin-
guished company. The first man
whom he espied was Rear Admiral
Schley, tall, erect, dignitied. 1t was
the first time he had seen Schley
since his return home. He fairly
leaped for him. 'Schley, my dear
old boy he cried, I'm delighted.
God bless you. old fellow! and how
are you?' Fine as silk, Admiral,
answered Schlev. Here, here, Schley:
drop that admiral business. | am
plain old George Dewey to you, my
boy Then he drew him aside,
and, placing an arm about his waist,
talked with him earnestly for fully
two minutes. unmindful Of waiting

all Others"

APPEAL FOR AID.
Wilson Should Respond With Open
Hand.

There has by chance fallen into
our hands letter sent out by w. j..
Hicks, the superintendent of the Ok
ford Orphan Asylum. 1t tells a
story of the needs of that institution,
which we believe will not pass I'M
needed in Wilson. The letter says:
1--WE have over two hundred or
phan boys and girls to care for in
the Oxford Orphan Asylum. Our
effort is to feed and cIothe these des-
titute children, to give them an
English education, to train as many
of them as possible in some useful
trade or vocation and to give them
the best moral training and throw
around them the best religious in
iluence possible. If YOU can. in a
measure. realize what il means for
the influence of lives to be taken
away from the side of evil. to be
placed upon the side of purity and
righteousness, YOU can form some
conception of the Importance and
magnitude of the work going on in
our orphans homes. God is using
such institutions as powerful instru-
mcnt in the rescue Of lives and the
salvation of immortal souls.
We must now begin to plan for
the winter months. the most eNpen-
sive OF the whole year. Here are
some OF our needs: hosiery. hats, caps.
underveSts. bed clothing and goods
for winter underwear. We know the
work must appeal TO Won and we tell
you our needs with the hope and be-
lief that YOU will aid us to the ex-
tent Of Your ability" Wilson Ners.

MAMMOTH SQUASHES.


is a gravelly formation, with about 6
inches of clay loan on top. A 800
pound squash can be grown on any part
of it by the following method Of Guilt
walton: For each hill intend to plant,
about the 1st of April take two good
wheelbarrow loads of hen manure and
mix with four barrows of good soil TAX
en- from some other part of the lot. This
is mixed Il second time the middle of
April. The 1st of May l add four bar
rows of well rotted manure and mix
thoroughly; then, about the 18th Of
May, make the hills and plant. dig out
space 7 feet in diameter and ID inches
deep, fill in my compost mixing and
with it some Of the best earth which
was thrown out. When finished, the
hill will be about ten feet in diameter
and six inches higher in the center than
the surrounding level. Then plant the
seed. Hills want to be about 90 feet
apart Work the ground well until the
plants commence to run. When about
three feet long, mulch the ground all
over for 20sfeet in diameter around each
hill with horse manure three inches
deep and stake the vines down with
sticks to keep the wind from rolling
them about, 50 that they may root at
every joint. 1t is of great advantage to
keep the vine from f111iting as long as
possible, by pruning all fruit bloom off
until about the last week in July. This
will give time enough to mature 800
pound squash by the 1st of October, for
there must be big vine to produce a
big squash.
Mr. Warnock practices fertilizing a
few Of the first blooms that come, and
when the first perfect specimens have
set we'll be cuts off all other fruit and
blossoms and nips the end off vines that
show bloom. He uses liquid manure
twice week while great growth Of
squash is going on, and is particularly
careful to give plenty Of water.

KEEPING up THE DELUSION.
The Public and Newspaper Men
Why are Not the Latter Regarded
in their True Relation as Other Bust
ness People are?

OF the many local delusions in
North Carolina that regarding the
newspaper editor is about the most
senseless and absurd of them Of all.
And the newspapers, strange to
say, seem to really increase the delu-
sion.
The newspaper editor, according to
local tradition is man who has the
necessaries of life furnished him by
his subscription and advertising lists:
His board bill, if unmarried, and
his grocery and meat bills, if married,
are offset by subscriptions or adver-
tisements.
His clothes. shoes and other wear
ing apparel come through the same
sources.
If single, the editor rooms at his
office, if married, lives with his wife 5
folks.
The editor sometimes travels in
his own State, ard is usually met
with the remark, well, ! should
think you would travel all the time.
it costs you nothing"
If the editor travels beyond his
States boundaries, he is looked upon
with suspicion, and the first question
asked him will be, ''What in the
world are you doing SO far away from
home?'
Mr.. j. =. Caldwell, editor of the
Charlotte OJSercer, who is on a trip
to Europe, seems to have caused a
sensation among his newspaper
friends, Judging from the various re-
marks of the press.
Joe Caldwell gone to Europe.'
and the imagination even of the news
paper writer seems paralyzed, and
the writer can hardly wish Editor
Caldwell a safe and pleasant voyage,
having in mind all the time the
stupendous fact that Joe is going to
Europe and how in the world can he
afford it,
! Like the esteemed mountain con-
| temporary who wrestled with a
financial vacuum instead of cash
surplus:
Gle said that he would make us squeal,
And piled the garden truck around us,
But. though we rather liked the deal
! The same old bonds of silence bound us.
But when the other day he stuck
Beneath our nose a silver dollar,
The very echoes seemed to buck
Beneath the whoopness of our holler.'
And so it seems to be in North
Carolina, and the ':whoopness of our
| holler,' was never greater than i'll
thus finding a sure enough North
Carolina editor, gone to Europe fol
his health.
This delusion OF the newspaper
editor not .'being much of Teller,
anyway" ought to be out of date,
and would soon be. if the editors
made the public respect them, by
making this patronizing public,
which subscribes for a paper, with
the same air that they throw a bone
to dog, realize that they, the
editors, were business men, and were
not to be humbugged by politicians
| Just before elections, or the church
people () just before church fairs
were to be held, and that their work
was fully as legitimate as that of any
merchant doing business in the city.
And editor Joe Caldwell's going to

that of the arrival of the circuses in

Boston Should Contribute.
(Charleston, S. c., News and Courier

charleston, S. g., News and Courier,)
Is is Interesting to note that Mrs.
Frasier b. Baker, is in poverty and
has appealed to the people of Boston
for aid. She left here Il few months
ago on an urgent invitation from
that city to come North and make an
exhibition of herself and her children.
She was assured that the boX-otlice
receipts of the show would be ample to
maintain her and her family in luXu
~, and the invitation eithereNpressed
or implied a promise that should
funds ever run short Boston philan-
tropy might be depended upon to
supply any and all deficiencies. The
worst has happened; the museum
has ceased to draw crowds and dimes,
and there can be no doubt lit is up
to Boston," as the vulgar say, to
provide Mrs" Baker and the picca-
ninnies with bed and board.
1t may be observed in passing that
the task bids fair to be a rather diff
cult one. We are informed that 800
have been contributed since the Ba-
kers went to Boston. Living in the
modest refinement of her former
home that sum would have afforded
the Bakers all the comforts of life for
some two or three years, but in Bos-
ton, under the discriminating finan ciai
management of Miss Lillian Clayton
''Jewett, it has suf1iced to maintain
them but few weeks. At this rate
we should say that the family would
need something over 1000 per an
mum upon which to continue the ex-
hibition business in Boston. 1t is to
be hoped that Mrs. Bakers appeal
will meet with a ready and liberal
response. She has carried out her
part of the contract to the letter. BY
special request she and her children
have done everything in their power
to embitter the ignorant elements of
the North against the people of the
South. That was all that was asked
of them. 1t is not their fault if the
show they provided did not prove as
popular as their managers hoped it
would prove. The freak, no less than
the laborer, is worthy of his hire.
The obligation resting upon Boston
philanthropy is obvious.
