The Truth of Gettysburg.
Elizabeth City Economist

Elizabeth City Economist.
The North Carolina Society of Bal
timore propose to celebrate the
"Charge at Gettysburg on the site
of that great pivotal battle OF the
fratricidal strife between the States,
on July 3rd, the anniversary OF its
occurrence. 1t is proposed to cele-
brate the great national tragedy by
speeches and "reminiscences and there
will be present some of the few sur
vivors of that bloody charge in which
North Carolina went fartherest and
in which she made dread record OF
which history has failed, as yet, to
give her full credit, and that the most
brilliant star in that galaxy of names
immortal was Gen. }. Johnston Petit
grew. of North Carolina, and not
Gen. George Pickett, of Virginia, as
is supposed by many. Our reading
of the battle of Gettysburg is that
when Gen. Pickett was retreating
from the "Bloody Angle with his
disorganized legions in panic, Gen.
Pettigrew was charging at the head
of his command, and maintaining
the fight until the victors over Pickett
attacked his flank and compelled his
retreat with his overpowered com
rades. Now, we would not pluck one
leaf from Virginia's laurel crowned
brow, but the truth of history is toe
sacred to be violated by partial an
nalists, and the fame OF the immor
tails is too dear to be torn from then
by hasty and inconsiderate histor
ians, SO called True history is no
| a fable.

Same Training Will Not Do For All.
Richmond News-Leader,

Richmond News-Leader,
The doctor who undertakes to
treat all his patients or even all
those who have the same disease
precisely in the same way would be
considered a disgrace to his profess
sion and close to a lulatic AS a
matter of fact he sees each individual
case and studies it, even in time of
epidemic when all the sick have the
same malady and general symptoms.
He knows that the Almighty has
given to each individual an individu-
ality and separate constitution and
set of idiosyncracies which must be
regarded and studied and treated by
and for themselves. Yet we hand
over a lot OF children to be put
through the same machinery and
handled in the same way, timid and
turbulent, bright and dull, slow and
sure, quick and uncertain, gunpow-
der and mud, tiger, terrapin, mon
key, mastiff, all kinds of incongruous
and heterogeneous elements and
qualities, physical, mental and moral,
thrown higgledy-piggledy all in the
same hopper together and expect
each to come out well-mOlded and
fashioned.

Speak a Word Of Encouragement

are no better pleased than you would
be if he took no pains. The natural
effect of this is to discourage his
efforts. You ride with q street car

than the common run of conductors

wardly commend him for it, but il
nobody speaks to him about it he is
apt to think it is not appreciated.
Just a kind word of encouragement
might influence him to try to excel
not only in this particular but in
Others. Most of us are free enough
with our adverse criticism, especially
of persons who occupy places in the
public eye, but we seldom take the
trouble to pat these persons on the
back even for those things which we
most heartily approve. If an author
or an editor offends even by the
smallest slip of the pen, we are ready
enough to pOunce on him, but he NAV
please us till the COWS come home
without exciting us to tell him that
we are pleased. The assertion that
we commend him sufficiently by read
ing his book or paper is no answer
at all. If we would occasionally take
the trouble to tell him that in our
opinion he is doing particularly well,
we would be doing him and society in
general much more good.

Easy to Prove a Good Character.
Wilmington Messenger.

wilmington Messenger.
It's cause for congratulation that the
failure among our people to prove a
good character is the exception and not
the rule. Ninety-fve per cent. OF the
rank and file of the citizenship of North
Carolina can prove a good character by
the best people in the community who
know them-Raleigh Times.
It's as easy to prove a good char
acter in the courts of this State as it
is to get up a petition sufficient to
secure the pardon of a criminal.
Under the rules of evidence in this
State a witness may know that a
man has committed theft, has per-
jured himself or has committed mur-
der, his knowledge Of the mans char
acter from personal associations
and transactions may be such that
the witness would not believe him on
oath, yet he may be forced to swear
that he is a man of good character
because mans character has been
decided by our courts to mean how
he stands in the estimation of his
neighbors and those with whom he
comes in contact in business and So
cial relations.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening OF Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1899, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April. Dur
ing his travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case became SO
bad he expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bottle of
Chamberlain s Coic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good effect oi
the medicine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight That one little bottle
worked a complete cure. and he cannot helI
but feel grateful. The season for bowel dis

The Legacy of Good Roads.
Rockingham Anglo-Saxon.

Rockingham AnglO-SaxOn.
Some people say they are opposed
to the good roads bond issue because
it would create a debt for their chill
dren to pay. But do you suppose
your offspring would remember you
any more gratefully if you should be-
queath to him your present system
of public roads? Won't it rather be
a good thing for that boy to begin
now to build some good roads for
him to ride on? Wouldn't it, in fact!
be a good thing for him to give him
the benefits OF good roads while he
is growing up, to put him in closer
touch with schools and churches and
neighbors and towns, and to get a
little touch OF progressive ideas into
him? Good roads are valuable for
more things than to haul cotton and
ouanO on.

Hints on Feeding Poultry.
From Country Life in America.

L FOiu tOuulTs Ill iIueTlCd
Sitting hens should be as we'll fed
as those that are laying, but the
feeding should be different. Grain
should be left where they can get it
whenever they desire to come off the
nest This is done not only as a
matter of convenience but also to in
sure the hens getting all they want
to eat, and also to get them into the
habit of coming off regularly; which
they will be more apt to do if they
know the foJd is always obtainable.
1t is better to feed all whole grain in
good variety; such as corn, oats
and wheat. The reason is that all
the food a sitting hen requires is for
her bodily maintenance. She is a
non-produoer and will therefore be
able to satisfy her rneeds without soft
food, vegetables or meat, though a
little of these will be a benefit.

that He has even a larger sphere Of
service for it in the coming years.
Surely these facts justify its claim to
offer a splendid outlet for the prac-
tice of real benevolence on the part
of any one who wishes to invest in
developing virtuous citizenship and
Christian character.
No greater privilege, no wider OPP
portunity, no grander work is given
to man than to cooperate with God
in the rescue and uplift of human
lives and in the salvation of immor-
tai souls.
