George White made a speech in Nova
Scotia which he heard. He says he is
beyond doubt the biggest liar he ever
heard talk. He really believed he did
not tell consciously n truth relative
to the negroes in the south and their
treatment-that he himself had spent
so much time in the south and had had
SO many opportunities of seeing and
knowing as to the negroes and the treat
ment they were subjected to, he knew
that bumptious George was lying from
start to the finish. George appears to
be like so very many of his race not
on intimate terms with truth and not
even slightly acquainted with fairness
George is mighty knowing" and when
he stands with his legs Ear apart and
his hands stuck in his deep pockets III
vociferates like an oracle, but of the
unreliable kind.

The etu of the First North Caro-
lima from foreign service in Cuba, is
an occasion of interest to the state, and
of special pleasure and rejoicing to the
localities whence the companies went
out. At Raleigh, Durham, Winston,
Goldsboro and other points the return
ing companies were enthusiastically
greeted and addresses of welcome were
delivered. The regiment bore themselves
we'll in Cuba and were equal to all
duties resting upon them. The Mes
senger is glad that they have returned
in safety and were not called upon to
conquer peace by shooting Cubans, as
is the fashion now. They deserve we'll

The Messenger some time ago re-
ferred to the capabilities of the new
county of Scotland. 1t is in an excel
lent section of the state and its inhab-
itants mainly of Scotch descent are
among the best. A communication in
the Charlotte Observer calls attention
to the thrifiness and enterprise Of the
people, to the varied inducements and
advantages of the county, and the de-
termination of the people to go to the
head of the counties. We CLEAN a few
items of interest connected with the
new county:
"The county has in area 387 square
miles, all taken from Richmond coun-

The gulch home OF Major and Mrs.
j. p. Campbell southwest of Miller
has lost none of it's attractiveness
since the nress first described it way
back in the summer OF 1883. 1t con-
tinues to be the most interesting
spot in this section. The gulch is
located in ROckdale township,
about eight or nine miles southwest
OF Miller, and is the largest OF the
timbered gulches in the Rec Hills.
1t has been the property of Mr.. and
Mrs. Campbell since 1888. The
gulch is over mile long, contains
several acres of fine timber, and wild
fruits, and is watered by never fail
ing springs OF pure cold water. To
find such "a place after driving over
the treeless plain seems like running
onto an oasis in a desert. The
Major does not farm any, except to
raise splendid garden, and assist
his wife in the dairy department. pro-
ducing the elegant golden butter for
which she has become famous. The
genial Major is an old Kentuckian,

nature is ample to fully appreciate
this picturesque home, where every
thing is tinted with natures deepest
green when the surrounding hills
and plain are sere and brown. The

the beautiful scenery, in such marked
contrast TO the bare prairics, make
this delightful place TO spend IA few
