PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS
HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW
STONES.

There were many things that conspired
to give the Democrats an overwhelming
victory in Boston in the recent municipal
election. A friend calls our attention TO
an article from the Boston Transcript of
December 4th, issued just prior to the
election. 1t was a campaign tfat had
something like the issues that were dis
cusseG in North Carolina in $685. It is en-
bodied in these questions:
HAS there been a single colored
Democrat elected in i Democratic warl
in Boston to the ward committee, com
mon council or Legislature since the Civil
War? If So who and when?
"2-When Hon. Josiah Quincy was in
augurated Democratic mayor of Boston,
why were the two colored deputy sealers
OF weights and measures, appointed by a
Republican, removed, and white Demo-
Gratis appointed to their places?
'3-Did not Mayor Hart, after his last
election, reinstate colored men in those
places?
"4-DoeS not the record of the present
Republican administration show the ap-
sble positions than ever before in the
history of Boston; and, if so, is not that
a strong reason why Mayor Hart, in the
coming election, should receive he sup
port of all colored voters, regardless of
party?"
The argument that "the present Repub-
lican administration could "show the
appointment Of more colored men to re-
sponsibls positions than ever before in the
history of Boston" seems to have had the
same effect in Boston that it had in
Wilmington. 1t gave an unprecedented
Democratic victory Ia roth Boston and
North Carolina. Following close On the
heels Of the refusal of the hotels is
Springfield, Mass, to entertain Booker
Washington, it would seem that Boston
cannot longer have the check TO lecture
Southern people upon their treatment Of
the negro.

Tobacco Puffs.

Writing of the tobacco situation III
Winston, the Southern Tobacco Journal
says: ut seems to be settled fact
in the minds of all knowing ones in the
tobacco world these days that prices will
continue high throughout this tobacco
year, and many think they will go still
higher AS an evidence of the eagerness
of tobacco men to get hold of common
goods, we have seen within the last few
days frost bitten suckers bring 2h to 5
cents per pound This is perhaps an I'M
heard of thing in all the history of the
weed
A. b. Darlington & Co., writing from
Wilson to the Southern Tobacco Journal
says: ut is generally conceded that our
years sales will go very near fourteen
million pounds, but this will leave about
a million and a quarter after Christmas
to be Sold We hardly think there is
this much in the country in this sec
ton"
The Richmond News notes the presence
i'll that city of Mr. R. G.. Briggs, pres.-
dent of the Wells Whitehead Tobac-
co Company, and says las a result Of
the extensive advertising given the Caro-
lima Brights cigarettes in the merry war
waged against that factory by the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, the indie
pendent factory is doing an immense bust
ness. In tho month of October the Will

fight against his company to the trust to

REV. DIR. GEO pArrERsoN's FUNERAL
Impressive Service in Memphis Tenn, Where
Interment Took Place.

All efforts to have the remains of Rev.
George Patterson sent to North Carolina
for final interment proved futile, and the
funeral was held from Grace church,
Memphis, Tenn, of which he was rector
for sixteen years, last Friday morning q t
IL o'clock.
Rt. Rev Bishop Gailor officiated at TIC
Holy Communion which was celebrated at
an earlier hour. and at the funeral SER
vice. The list of active and honorary pail
bearers were selected from different
parishes of the Episcopal church in Mem
phis and from representative citizens in
all walks of life, including resident
Greeks, the Chickasaw Guards, North
Carolina friends, the Confederate Asso-
citation, and the Masons. The church was
densely packed and during Bishop Cal
lor's eloquent panegyric the entire coil
gregation was visibly affected. Dr. Pat
terson was member of the Order of ST.
John the Evangelist and never married.
He was ordained by Bishop Ives, of North
Carolina, in 1856.
An enthusiastic advocate of the cause
of the eonfederacy he served as chaplain
throughout the entire bloody struggle,
being most of the time with the army of
General Robert E. Lee.
He was. endowed with splendid intel
lectual gifts, and as a preacher had
few equals in the South. He was ever
loyal to North Carolina and few men ever
drew to them stronger friendship The
following tribute from the pen of a Ro-
man Catholic appeared in Memphis pa
per:
Rev. George Patterson is dead. With
the turning of day into night he passed
from the gathering gloom into the light
beyond. A good priest lover of his
kind, loyal to his country, his city and
his people, believing there was more of
virtue than vice in man he went anout
his work with the Judgment of mature
years and the energy and buoyancy of
youth. He was an optimist. He was
never cast down No matter what sha1-
ows crossed his path he stood in them
that others might walk in Brightness nr.
Patterson knew more old people and
young people than any other clergyman
in Memphis Episcopalian or Catholic.
Methodist or Hebrew, was not a concern
of his when he met man or woman They
were Gods children, made in the image
OF their Creator, and the good old mar
loved them. He enjoyed life by making
others happy; he enjoyed his religion for
it gave him comfort. He knew the weak
nesses CT men. and he pitied them; he
knew there was good in men, and he loved
them.
He will be mourned by his church not
alone. but by every man, woman ard
child that has felt the benediction of his
presence. He is distinct loss to Menu
phis. May his soul rest in peace"

WEYLERIsM IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The news comes from South Africa
that the Boer children in the 'concer-
tration camps are dying at the rate of
SIG in June. 1,124 in July 1,545 in August,
and 1904 in September.
A special from London gives later
particulars. 1t says:
The delay in the publication OF the
October and November returns from the
concentration camps, which were issued
today, was apparently due to the Gov
ernment's desire TO accompany the an
nouncement of the high death rate with
official explanations. The blue book is
sued today shows 1856 deaths of whites
In October, of which number 1885 were
children, and 2,807 deaths Of whites in
November of which 2,271 were. children.
This makes the total number of deaths
for the last six months 1891, or a
death rate approximating 253 per year
per thousand. Among the colored per-
sons there were 1858 deaths in two
months. The blue book contains the
Governments plans for breaking up the
camps. as recently outlined by War
Secretary Broderick."
When Weyler thus murdered the
innocents in Cuba, we had no word
capable of expressing our de-
testation and we called it ''Weylerism. .
Is it any better now that England prac-
tees it on the Beers? But we dare not
condemn it because, on smaller scale
we are practicing it in the Philippines.
Mrs. Browning's words aptly fit:
"They look up with their pale and shrunk-
en- faces.
And their look is dread to see,
For they mind you of their angels in
high places,
With eyes turned on Deity

SHOWN TO BE FALSE.

The defenders of the policy of keeping
the Philippines never tire of telling Us
that the Philippines came to us unex-
pectedly and by an act of providence and
that the responsibility was thrust upon
us without our action. This paragraph
from Gen Ayers book shows how false
is that miserable apology for !. mistaken
and unwise policy:
Although the determination to send
an army of occupation to the Philippines
was reached before Dewey's victory oc-
Cured, and orders for assembling volun-
teers at San Francisco with this object
in view had been given as carly as May
4, the news of the success os Manila bay
greatly fastened the preparation for this

recently with the Burton Bill Posting
Company of this city for the erection of
half a mile. of bill boards which are
RAPIDLY being covered with advertisements
of the more popular brands of cigarettes
manufactured by the trust.
More than one advertising scheme of
against the Wells Whitehead Company
has been turned to their disadvantage,
saws Mr. Briggs. When the fronts OF the
cigarette packages were redeemed at one
cent. hundreds of thousands of these bits
of card board were dredged up from all
parts of the country and shipped to this
territory where they were presented to the
American Tobacco Company for redemp-
ton, entailing very heavy loss. An
OF her plan intended for the discontinue
of the Wells Whitehead Company in this
territory, which is their stronghold, was
the sale of cigarettes to dealers for just
about the amount of the tax. These
cigarettes were sold at great reduction,
but they were bought up in enormous
quantities by agents of the Wells White
head Company and shipped to the North,
where they were sold by dealers at re-
duced prices to the dismay and discom-
torture of the trust who promptly sus-
pended this plan as soon as it's conse-
quences was discovered
Mr.. Briggs, with other dealers here,
regard the fight between the trust and
the English manufacturers with the
greatest interest and concern. They say
that there is little hope for the English
market and that it will probably fall into
the hands of the enemy through the
forced prices that Mr.. Duke may be able
to put upon leaf tobacco. This policy,
will, it is estimated, so reduce the profits
Of the English manufacturers that they
will become demoralized, and it is pre-
dicted that within three years several of
the largest factories may be in line with
the trust"
The Southern Tobacco Journal gives
Rocky Mount the first place on the list.
It says: up to date the honors belong
to Rocky Mount, N. c. The average of
1440 cents a pound obtained for leaf to-
bacco on that market in November stands
alone. The weed is selling very high
everywhere, the quality of the offerings
