NO CHANCE FOR CALAMITY TALK.

The talk of calamity impending over
commercial and business interests of
the United States that has been in
dulged in by many democratic leaders
and press, is entirely unfounded. A
striking testimonial to this fact is
shown in the existing conditions of
trade. In this connection the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says:
Buyers for the fall trade are reach
ing st. Louis by every train in such
large numbers that Union station is
constantly thronged by the arrivals.
The visitors at present are mainly
from the south and southwest, re-
gion developing more rapidly than
any other in the United States, and
of which this city is the natural gate
way.
What is true of st. Louis is shown
to be true Of Chicago, New York and
many other eastern points, according
to the reports received from the east.
Merchants from all parts of the coun-
try are now hurrying to the large buy
ing centers. They are making their
purchases, based on the conditions
that exist in their own localities and
the prospects for continued prosperity.
Buying in all lines is active and judg,
ing from the reports of the merchants
the demands for goods of all classes
will be as large this fall and winter
as during any similar period hereto.
| fore.
There is no class of men in the
country, whose judgement as to ex
listing conditions or as to the outlook
of the country, will be found to be
more reliable than that of the mer
4 chants. This being able to make a
reliable forecast of the demands in
their localities is the foundation OF
their business success. In view OF
the great activity that is shown in the
large buying centers it would seem
advisable that the prophets of calam
ity" had better cease their declara
tions of an impending disaster in bust
ness and Industrial circles.

A WORD OF GREAT VALUE.

On Memorial Day at Tarboro, ex-Judge
Fred Philips delivered a splendid memo
rial address, a portion of which appears
elsewhere. Excellent as was his ad-
dress, the greatest service he rendered
was preparing a complete roster of the
soldiers furnished by Edgecombe county
to the Confederate army. There was no
complete record anywhere and Judge
Philips gave a month of his time search
ing files of newspapers and every other
available source of information, includ-
ing personal interviews with most of the
survivors. We have no doubt the roster
prepared by him is the complelest that
has been prepared for any county in
the State.
What Judge Philips has done for Edge
combe, some like public spirited man who
belonged to that grand army of patriots
ought to do for every county in the
State.

NIB. MATT J. PEARsALL-
Tribute to the Noble Young Man Whose Tragic
Death Cut Short His Usefulness.
(Moultrie (Ga.) Observer.)


The tragic death of Hon. Matt. ].
Pearsall has cast gloom over every
class of Moutries population. He was
the special faKorite of the North Caro-
lima contingent In the town and county,
but these could not monopolize his pop
ularity. The old and young of both sexes
and all colors loved him-how much was
not known to themselves until the news
went out in town yesterday morning that
he was passing away.
Not many dry eyes were seen yestel-
day and business was almost suspended.
More than one of our ablest lawyers
and these his rivals-have long referred
to him as 1.-THE ablest lawyer in the
Southern Circuit. 1t was doubtful il his
superior in the preparation of a case could
be found in the State
With all his popularity with men and
mastery of law, he steadfastly turned his
face away from political office.
There has been no time during the
past five years when he could not have
had anything the county could have given
him, but his regard for the study and
practice of law was such that he pre-
ferred the honor of the course and the
gratitude of his clients to anything poll
ties could bring him. On two occasions
he was appointed by the Governor, solicit
tor of our city court, but both times with
out seeking the office.
Mr.. Pearsall was rigidly honest in all
his public duties, and stainless in his
private life, while through it all flowed
the milk of human kindness. 1t is doubt
full if he ever knowingly offended hu-
man being, while in Moultre. The whole
civilization of the county reveals his UNI
ostentatious touches, and we shall lot
soon see his like again.

MAGNIFICENT PAPER, But

The Sunday New York World was a
magnificent edition of that wonderful metro
politan journal. 1t was issued to commem-
crate its twentieth anniversary under Mr..
tributions of lasting value from number
of leading thinkers and writers IN the
world
The career of Mr. Pulitzer is one of the
most remarkable chapters in American
history 1t is a concrete example that
America means opportunity. The World
under his management is in no sense the
World of twenty years ago. 1t has grown
in circulation, in power, in influence much
more rapidly than the country has grown.
Mr.. Pulitzer is a genius in newspaperdom
in his day as the elder James Gordon Ben
nett was in his day.
But in the summing up of the greatness
of this great paper, the World makes one
mistake. It says: 1.-The New York World
issues an edition of 1876 pages, said to be
the largest paper ever printed" 1t is the
largest paper ever printed in New York
CITY But 1T is not the largest paper ever
printed in the world" The largest paper
ever printed in the world was the TWEEN
tieth Century Edition of the News and
Observer, published in Raleigh, North
Carolina on the 24ih day of August, 1899
1t contained 22S pages, just ninety
two pages more than this magnificent edi-
ton of the New York World. Raleigh is
still ahead of New York.

mortal Day. In every village and town,
where lie buried the bodies of brave

country between 1861 and 1865. women

fragrant flowers upon their graves. 1t has

but adds to their fame, passing of
each twelve months increases their
glory, and if there is one thing above all
others in the South this is true: that
their fame and honor are held dear by
every succeeding generation.
A Lost Cause" is often forgotten
cause. Men worship success. Patriots
who fail generally sleep in unforgotten
graves. Soldiers who feely give up their
lives for government that is wiped off
the face of the map rarely are held in
grateful remembrance. The honor paid
to the Confederate soldier is all the more
marked in that it is contrary to the
general laws and to human experience.
No soldiers whose courage founded an
empire were ever held in higher honor
or ever achieved more lasting fame than
the army of the gray. Lee and Jackson,
the chief heroes of an unsuccessful war,
are the uncrowned heroes in the military
world who tower above distinguished sue
cessful generals.
In the city of Columbia, there rises y
monument to the Confederate dead bear
ing an inscription that ought to be put
in letters of brass or marble in every
Confederate cemetery. The Columbia
State truly says there is no lovelier
passage in all English literature than
that inscription. We love to recall it,
and, would have it's words and its mean
ing impressed upon every child of Col
umbia. For it tells that this monument
erected by the women of the State,
stands as memorial to those sons OF
the Palmetto, who, true to the instincts
of their birth, faithful to the teachings
for the State, died in the performance of
their duty; who have glorified a fallen
cause by the simple manhood of their
lives, the patient endurance of suffering,
and the heroism OF death, and who, in
the dark hours of Imprisonment, in the
hopelessness of the hospital, in the short,
sharp agony of the field, found support
and consolation in the belief that at
home they would not be forgotten
The yearly anniversary of the beauti-
full custom of putting flowers on the
graves of the heroes OF the South, now
grown into a custom that will be per-
petuated during all the years that are
to come, proves that the confidence of
the soldiers in their neighbors was not
misplaced. In ''the dark hours of impris-
onment, in the hopelessness of the hos
pital, in the short, sharp agony of the
field" the Confederate soldiers found
support and consolation in the belief that
at home they would not be forgotten
Not only ''at home" are they tenderly
remembered, but all the world now hon
ors their courage and their devotion to
the Southern Confederacy.
