serious accident at his home
Saturday morning. His 3 year
old baby armed with only a broom
straw inflicted AL injury to it's
mother that came near being
fatal. The me- Their was lying on
the bed resting while the child
kept after her to get up, to which
pleading she paid no attention.
Finally the little one became en-.
ragged and got a short broom
straw and stobbed its mother in
the ear. The pain was SO severe
from the wound, from which the
blood flowed freely, that medical
attention was summoned at once.
Although the danger is thought
to be over tosday, yet Mrs Grant
is still in the bed from the loss

The Wayne County Association Will Meet
In GoIdsboro February 3.
To the tobacco growers of Wayne
county:
In unity there is strength; and
in the multitude of council there
is wisdom. There is no interest
of the farmers of this State that
has been SO handicapped by the
power of the all-encompassing
Trust IS the Tobacco interest.
The great "American Tobacco
Trust" with millions at it's COM
mand has gathered those millions
out of the sweat and labor and
robbery of the farmer, while he
has been made to feel that the
home market was his cause Of
Improbable returns.
But at length the truth has
come to light. We know the truth
! and it is now our duty to strike
for freedom, but without consul
tation we cannot gather wisdom,
and without unity we cannot Sc
cure strength and without perse-
verance we cannot triumph,C Come,
then, and let us reason together
Whether you plant tobacco in
many acres or small patches,
come. We want every tobacco
grower in Wayne county to attend
the meeting in the court house il
Goldsboro, on Saturday, Febru'
airy 3, 1900 at IL o'clock.

such is not the case with the pharma--

should have in stock nearly or quite
1000 medicines, all of which he must
be able TO furnish in the form of tine

and in some cases in all five forms. To,
do this requires an immense amount of
patience and careful labor, but this is.
the least part. Each name on that long
lit represents a distinct drug from the,
vegetable, animal, or mineral kingdom

THE AUGHTERS OF THE


The annual meeting Of the
daughters of the Confederacy was
held at the home of the President
of the Thomas Refio Chapter,
U. D. c., on the 10Th OF January.
Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather the attendance was
small, only aquorum p~resent, but
business Of Importance was
transacted. Annual dues were
paid ard then there was read a
communication from Mr.. J. Tay-
lor Ejlyson, Of Richmond, Va,
regarding the Jefferson Davis
monument as follows:
Mrs. S. T. Mccullough, Chair
man Jefferson Davis Monument
Committee, .. D. G.:
Dear Madam--The Jefferson Da-
Wis Monument Association was or
ganizedi in 1890 and chartered by
the General Assembly ofVirginia.
AT the meeting of the United Con-
federate Veterans in Charleston,
S. c., in May, 1899, a resolution
was adopted requesting the Un-
tied Daughters of the Confeder-
acy to assume the responsibility
of the completion of this monu-
ment and authorizing the LETTERS
son Davis Monument Association
to turn over any funds in their
possession to the United Daught-
ers whenever they should COM
ply with the request of the I'm
tied Confederate Veterans. I had
the honor on last Friday of SUBJ
hitting the question for the con-,
~sideration of the convention Of
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy then in session in this
city, and they adopted a resolu-
ton by which they consented to
comply with the request of the
Veterans and endeavor to raise a
sum sufficient to erect a suitable
monument to the President of the
Confederate States. It is my
pleasure to be able to report to
you that we have in our treasury
the sum Of twenty thousand. four
hundred and sixty-fve dollars
and thirty-one cents $2O,465 81,
which we will turn over to your
treasurer whenever so requested
by you. Our association has no
debts of any sort, and you will
take up the work without any
embarrassments on account of
any action previously taken by
US. The idea of the United Con-
federate Veterans was that we
should turn over to you the funds
we have and that You would take
up the work as though it had
never been begun. You were to
be at liberty to select such design
as you might think proper,
choose such a site in or near the
city Of Richmond as you might
prefer and erect a monument at
such cost as the United Daught-
ers might deem best.
I beg leave to renew the assur-
ance heretofore extended that
any assistance that the members
of the Jefferson Davis Monument
Association may be able to render
to the ladies will be most cheers
fully given. We believe that un-
dea your energetic and loving di-
rection the task Of building a
monument to Jefferson Davis
will soon be completed.
Yours very respectfully,

President.

from the country round about.
The Portland daily press., 1900-12-06

The taking up of the ship-subsidy bill
by the Senate, and the earnest speech
made In support of 1t by Senator Frye,
indicate a dstsrmi nation on the part OF
the Republican Senators to push the bill
to a vote If possible. Whether they Will
succeed or not depends almost entirely
upon the attitud3 of the Democrats If the
latter are unitsd and determined on Wig
orous resistance, 1t is improbable that q
vote can be reached before adjournment,
for the session cannot extend beyond the
fourth OF March, and with no rules to
restrict debate, 1t will be possible for
thirty men to consume the ertire session
In speeches. What the fact Is about the
Democrats is not yet apparent 1t is
more than likely that there are quite a
number of them who at heart would not
be sorry IL the bin passed, and would not,
therefore, be likely to offer any strenuous
resistance IL not put under pressure.
But If vigorous resistance is made part
of the psrty's policy they will probably
acquiesre and help 1t along. The probable
outcome Of the attempt to pass this
measure will bs much clearer In a short
time than it 10 now. Senator Frye made
very strong argument In behalf OF the
bill, ami his remarks viii do much to
commend 1t to the people. His condem-
nation OF the plan of reviving the Ameri-
can carrying trade by discriminating
duties ought to attract especial attention
In this stats, for only few years ago 1t
was fsvorits policy here, and was en-
dorsed by Republican State convention
though Senator Hale had pointed out that
such q scheme would rouse all the nations
that had ships to retaliaUory meas.

BERLIN ETREATY AND RUSSIAN
POLICY.

POLlCY.
{ Edwin A. Stuart insthe Chautauquan. }
Perhaps the most important eonse.
quencs OF the treaty Of Berlin has been
its effect upon Russian policy. Ever
since the time OF Peter the Great, Russia
has been following consistent policy OF
expansion, north, west, south and east.
looking always toward the sea. Its west.
ern and northern limits were reached
early and easily, but for more than a
century and half the imperial city on
the Bosphorus has dazzled the eyes OF
the czars. who have liked to regard them
selves as the Successors OF Constantine.
Paris, London, and Herlip put an end to
their hopes in this direction. Tine unitsd
powers Of Europe raised an impreguable
barriar to Russian possession OF C3nstan-
tinople. The treaty Eof Berlin. and the
independent spirit OF the Balkan and
Danubian states themselves transformed
into an idle dream the second point Of
Russian policy which had been parb of
every treaty between Russia and Turkey
until IS56-the assertion or q Russian
protectorats over the Christian provinces
OF Turkey. Alexander Iii. refused to
accept the situation and showed an in
tsnse-hostiiity toward the states that had
bean freed by Russian arms, endeavoring
to 40 complish by political intrigue what
war and diplomcy had failed TO bring
about. Nicholas II. has adopted a differ
emit course. Russian intrigues IN the
Balkan capitals no longer form ths stock
political gossip or the foreign news coli
umns Russia maintains an attitude Of
indifference, except as one or the concert
to affairs at the south, and seeks new
flei ia Of activity. The GEAR has appar-

1t is limited that some OF the persons
who are urging the passage OF the Hep
burn canal bill through the Senate In
spite OF the Clsyton-Bulwer treaty are at
heart opposed to building any canal at
ali, and hope through the passage OF that
bill to postpone 1t indefinitely. Certain
Iy there Ia great danger that that will
be the effect, for the President could
hardly sign bill which practically re-
pudiates treaty that has been reeog-
nizsa as binding for nearly 90 years,
especially as he has recently negotiated a
treaty with Great Britain looking TO
the modification of the Clayton-Bulwer
compact. Let the Senate commit itself
to the Hepburn bill and 1t cannot with
any sort OF consistency ratify the Hay
Paunosfots treaty, SO that the latter Will
fall of ratification, while the Hepburn
bill will fail because OF Presidential
veto and the canal project will be left
completely stranded.
