patents for their clients, many Of them
for rejected inventions. C. A. Snow

better than ox-carting them, for by the
latter process the inventor often dies

Admiral Dewey has displayed tact,
ed that he and his two associates were
all on trial before the American people.
The Messenger believes that the court
will find wisely and vindicate entirely
the prosecuted, most diabolically
wronged commander. The Baltimore
Sun has a capital editorial on the "in-
vestigation." 1t is all good, but we
must content ourselves with a rather
long extract as it is eminently judicious
and wise in tone:
Admiral Dewey has displayed fact,
judgment and impartiality as president
Of h Schley court of inquiry. 1t is
not strange that the hero of Manila
bay should have felt no desire to serve
as a member of that court. . A
brave man ii Admiral Dewey. jeal-
Gus of the reputation of the navy and
proud Of h spirit which has animated
its heroes must have been grieved at
the attacks upon Admiral Schley-
whose record during his long service
in the navy has been that Of a courage
Gus. chivalrous officer-who never fail
ed to his duty as he saw it. .
Now hat the court of inquiry is about
to conclude the investigation, Admiral
Dewey must feel a sense of great re-
lief as we'll as of disgust. He has heard
young officers who never urned pow
der except in target practice attempt
to detract from the courage of a sea-
soned veteran-an officer whose bravery
had been tried and proved long before
the war with Spain. He mas heard the
men who were in the fight near San
tiago testify that Admiral Schley was
an inspiration" to them-that his con-
duct was that of a fearless, heroic Off
Ger. OF course admiral Dewey knew
this before the court met, but it must
have filled him with Indignation when
the navy department attacked Admiral
Schley's reputation for bravery and
offered as evidence the i~nsinuations of
a lot of junior officers who had never
faced an enemy in battle. By the same
sort OF testimony it would be possible
to prove that Admiral Dewey is also
lacking in courage"
The country as we'll as the court will
feel much relief when the verdict is
rendered. The prosecutors and enemies
may go into hiding, and relieve the
country of the presence of a set of I'M
worthy naval officers who have brought
shame upon themselves fixed a
most g%rievous reproach upon the navy
of the United States.

DEATH OF MR.. w. T.. FOUNTAIN

Was II Leading Spirit I'm Enterprises

The Messenger received yesterday the
following special dispatch which will be
read with deep sorrow throughout east
ern North Carolina:
"Tarboro, y. c., November WIN

and popular citizens of this place, died
at 1 O'Clock this morning of Bright's

THE ~ On TRIAL.

The Messenger has never halted or
wavered in it's opinion Of the outrage
attempted upon the most gallant Rear
Admiral Schley. 1t has been a most
infamous assault from before the bat
tie until today. Every man engaged
in this internal conspiracy, high or low,
young or oud, richly deserves the ex-
ecrations of a just people. They should
be properly stamped and with eternal
stigma. The Messenger has mentioned
how well the veteran Admiral Dewey
has borne himself in h prolonged,
wearying. most exacting Investigations.
He is reported as saying: Il told Sec
rotary Long, when he asked me to be-
come president of the court, that j
tie in Manila bay. I have two
able associates, and realize hat we are
on trial before the country as we'll as
Rear Admiral Schley." The country
has watched the inquiry into the con-
duct Of Schley with profound admira-
as a commander and with deep indig-
nation On other land of the baseness
and duplicity OF his enemies in their
persistent. laborously planned attempt
to blacken, to ruin, to degrade the great
commander and m Oh, it is a
most shameful. damning detestable
efforts of officers of low instincts
and contemplate morality and paltry
aspiration.

diseases and vices OF the white man are
rapidly completing the ruin. Indee
the contamination Of the civilized is
heavy upon them. and the outlook il
gloomy. The half-hearted attempts
made by some of the corporations to
re-stock the salmon streams, and the
more successful fox farms, make some
reparation for the havoc wrought
nature; while the peaceful, prim, BIZ.
dependent colony of Metlaktla-thanks
to the altruism of one generous soul
has brought the blessings of civiliza-
ton to one isle at least and barred out
it's curse. But even here the shadsws
are now looming"
History is filled with doleful, depress-
ing examples of the truth that where
ever the white man has gone in his r
plorations and conquests he has carried
with him a flaming curse instead OF a
b~enignant and gracious example. He has
left sorrow and vice instead of hap
ness and benediction.

Alaska been for thirty years."

Wilson, N. c., November 2.
The paving of the Wilson streets is
surveyors are here now measuring the
streets with a view to the pavements.
At a recent election the people of Will
son voted $25, 900 for this purpose. With
this amoun all the streets in the bus
mess portion of the town a be paved.
1t is the purpose Of the town authori-
ties to pave all streets leading from
the passenger and freight depotS in adj
dition to those in the business portion
of the town. Wilson people have been
anxious for some time for paved streets
and they are delighted that their hopes
are at last to be realized.
The news that the Christian conven-
ton had decided to rent the old Kin
sey seminary was received here with
pleasure. This school has been run u
to this year by Professor Joseph Kin
sey, but, owing to his failing health, he
was forced to abandon b school. The
Wilson Educational Association have
gone to considerable expense in having
the buildings for the hoo erected.
and they receive the news with especial
pleasure.
The tobacco sales on the Wilson mar
ket for the month Of October were q
1882 pounds against ALL 12 for the
same month last year The total sales
FOR the season are 9,69S,151 pounds,
which is about 1000, 600 more h was
sold asst year. The decrease for Octo-
Der was caused by the heavy sales in
August and September, also by the
trouble in housing h cotton crop.
Formers could not spare the time from
their cotton to put their tobacco on the
market, and, too, there is a consider
able shortage in the crop planted. The
high prices during the entire season
will make a considerable increase in
next years crop. Farmers have made a
good living out of tobacco this year
far better, in fact, than out OF any
thing planted. The low price Of cotton
will also have n tendency to increase
the tobacco crop.
Contractor John Deans is pushing the
work on the county house. The
appearance will be very much improved
in addition TO the enlargement of floor
space. There has been voted by the
county commissioners about $1,000 for
these improvements. The building Is
being fitted up with waterworks and
electric lights.

IHoME FOLKS.

A new industry is mentioned for
North Carolina. 1t is what is known as
mating reed, such as grows all over
China-the reed out OF which is made
floor mating. The Baltimore News
says that recently this"reed has been
found growing n the greatest p%rofusion
in the waters of the Trent and Neuse
river about New Bern, N. c., which eX-
perts state is identical with hat used
in nina for making mating. This rush
is a hardy plant and a very rapid
grower. The stalks are from one-siX-
tenth to three-eighths Of an nch in
diameter, and grow to a height of three
to seven feet" This may prove to be
profitable to many people in that sec
ton. In a year the Chinese product.
imported into the United States is put
at 800, 00O, 900 pounds. The News states
that the manufacture is said to be Il
simple and Inexpensive process, and
one in which highly skilled labor is not
necessary.
