The Florence, S. c., correspondent Of
the Charleston News and Courier
writes under date of March 2Sth:
"Mr. Sam NJ. McColl, who now rep
resents a we'll known cotton exporting
firm of Wilmington, at this place, has
written to his and other firms in regard
to the round bale. The following let
ter was received in reply to his letter
and will explain itself:
I'VE hope you will not adopt the
round bale system. 1t cannot be used
for export at any price, and our agent
in Liverpool writes us that it is sold
over the counter there for less money
than the square bale. We have enter
ed thoroughly into an investigation of
the round bale peoples claim, and We
do not believe that the bale is practic-
able for trade generally. 1t may suit
a few mills who especially desire it, but
it cannot be accepted as a regular bale
nor on any orders without. a special
agreement before hand. 1t is, there
fore, useless to us, and we would not
buy it on any terms. There is no adj
vantage in transportation. We can
get much more cotton in a ship of
square bales than we can the round.
We have proved this to be the case"

Died Among Strangers

There died at the U. S. Marine Hos
pital yesterday a young Australian
named William Wallace who was a
eaman On the Clyde Line steamer
from Savannah for a time, and who
had served in other American vessels
until brought low by consumption
which terminated his life. All that
kind and skillful treatment could do to
alleviate his suffering was done by the
surgeon in charge, DR.. Wertenbaker.
The poor man was also comforted by
the ministrations of Reverend Doctor
James Carmichael, Rector ! of Saint
Johns Episcopal church and by James
Sprunt, Esq, the British Vice-Consul,
who especially relieved his mind with
a promise of christian burial by the st.
George and st. Andrews Society of
which Mr.. Sprunt is president.
The burial service will be read at
Oakdale cemetery at 8 p. m. today by
Doctor Carmichael, the Chaplain of the
society, and members who can conven-
iently do so are requested to attend.

Lived Almost a Century

We learn from Mr.. D. L. Gray, mail
agent on the Atlantic and Yadkin Rail-
way, that the Rev. James Needham, D.
D., known throughout Western North
Carolina as Father Needham, died yes
terday morning at 2 o'clock at his home
at Pilot Mountain.
DR.. Needham would have been 100
years old ON the 26th of next May and
was probably the oldest person in
North Carolina. Arrangements had
been made to have the closing exercises
of Pilot Mountain High School on this
venerable mans birthday, and he had
been selected to preach the commence
ment sermon. Up to a few days ago
DR.. Needham had been apparently in
good health for of his extreme age
and he bid fair to reach an ! age over
the 100 years mark. His death causes
deep regret, as the occasion when he
was to preach at the closing of the
Pilot Mountain High School was look
ed forward to with very deep interest

Correct. The important thing is:
Why will the negroes vote against it?
Because it will make white supremacy
permanent in North Carolina; because
it eliminates negro rule in New Bern,
Wilmington and other eastern towns
because it sends a white man to con-
gress from the Second district; because
in a word, it means the end Of bossism
by negro politicians and "nigger trad
ers." These are the eason why the
negro will naturally vote against the
Observation-Disclosures Messenger.
Our older readers well remember and
will never forget-nor forgive-the
great outrage then done the oppressed
south, and u younger readers should
be told abaout it. The younger men
of North Carolina should know-as
their elders so we'll know-that negro
suffrage was forced upon the south at
the point of the bayonet for the pur-
pose of humiliating and degrading a
proud people. Negro suffrage was
forced upon the south o for the ben
eft Of the negroes themselves, but
for the benefit of a swanm
of hungry carpet-baggers and
greedy scalawags who thereby
might more easily plumber our poverty
stricken southland. And a similar mo-
tive now prompts certain white men to
oppose the ratification Of the suffrage
amendment. Yes, the forcing of negro
suffrage upon the south was a great
outrage and wrong upon both races,
and has been the source of u~nnumbered
woes to both the whites and the blacks.
1t should be especially remembered that
negro suffrage was forced upon the
south. and vas not freely and willing

4 mistake In the Revenue Act

tASdiO16A 4NSeo LIN O0SSitCAD
There is an evident mistake in Sec
ton 80 of the revenue act, which m
poses a graduated tax on the capital
tocks of banks
This section, as written in the orig
inal and ratified bill and as printed
in the act, is as follows:
Every state bank, savings bank or
association conducting business as
contemplated in this section, any prf-
vate banker, every money exchange,
bond or note broker. whether operat-
ing as corporations or associations, or
privately as individuals, in addition to
the ad valorem tax on their capital
invested, shall pay annually to the
state treasurer a tax according to cap
ital employed as follows: On a capital
Of $4,000 or less, $25 and 81 for each
81, 900 of capital stock in excess of s25,-
600; also $25 additional for each county
in which n of said banks, associa-
tons, bankers or brokers have an
agency"
It Is evident that it should read and
was so intended by those who framed
the act:
ION a capital of SO, 900 or less, SIS,
and 81 for each 1900 of capital in ex-
cess of $40, 000."
1t is tool late, however, to remedy the
mistake. Nothing short of another leg
islature can do that. So all banks with
capital up to $4,000 Unsteady of $40, 900
will be required to pay only s25 tax.

the view that on account of schedules
