FIRST, FARTHEST, LAST.
A Committee Appointed to Prepare an
Answer to Judge Christians Charges
-"First at Bethel, Farthest at Get
tysburg and Chicamauga and Last
at Appomattox" to be Sustained.

Raleigh Post.
The North Carolina Literary and
Historical Society, at it's annual
meeting in this city last October, APP.
pointed a committee to prepare an
answer to the pamphlet issued by
Judge Christian of Richmond, Va,
in regard to North Cardinals claim
of being the "First at Bethel, Earth
est at Gettysburg and Chicamauga
and Last at Appomattox.' This
committee is composed Of Chief JUS
tice Walter Clark, Associate Justice
Walter A. Montgomery, Hon. A. c.
Avery of Morganton, Capt. S. A.
Ashe OF Raleigh, Maj. E. J. Hale OF
Fayetteville, Maj. H. A. London of
Pittsboro and Capt. W. R. Bond OF
Scotland Neck.
A meeting OF this committee was
held here yesterday, all the members
being present except Judge Avery
and Capt. Ashe. After consultation
it was decided to divide to the Diff
ferent members of the committee the
different parts of Judge Christian S
pamphlet. To Judge Clark and Capt
Ashe was assigned thatpart relating
to the number OF troops furnished
by North Carolina to the Confeder-
ate army; to Judge Montgomery
and Capt. Bond was assigned that
part relating to North Carolina at
Gettysburg; Judge Avery that part
relating to North Carolina troops at
Chicamauga; to Maj. Hale that part
relating First at Bethel" and to
Maj. London that part relating to
Last at AppOmattox."
These articles when prepared are to
be reported to the full meeting Of the
committee to be held some time next
August and considered by all the
committee and then will be placed in
the hands of Jud zee Clark to be edited
and published.
IT has always seemed to the Mes
senger-Inteligencer that passing res
| OlutiOns commentators of Judge
by the bar of the county at which he
may be holding court, is more of a
reflection on the Judge than anything
else. We hope it has not come to
pass in North Carolina that the char
acter of our judiciary has to be boil
stored up in any such questionable
way.-Wadesboro Messenge1-IntelH

Justice to the Negro.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
In his inaugural address at Baton
Rouge yesterday, Gov. Blanchard, OF
Louisiana, had this to say regarding
the negro:
The negro is man and citizen, and is
valuable in his sphere. Within that sphere
he must be guaranteed equal protection
of law. He must be protected in his right
to live peaceably and quietly; in his right
to labor and enjoy the fruits OF his labor.
No approach toward social equality or
social recognition will ever be tolerated
in Louisiana The law for separate
schools, churches, cars and places of en-
tertainment will be enforced. But there
is room in this broad Southland, with
proper limitations for the two races, to
live on terms of mutual trust, help, IN
Outstanding and concord. We brook no
interference from without. 1t is up to
the South to handle and to solve the
problem so as to furnish no occasion for
interference"
This is a direct and straightfor-
ward statement and reflects senti-
ments which all fair-minded persons
of both races can endorse. There is
indeed room in the South for both
races to live on terms Of mutual ben
eft. The negro is needed here, and
nowhere else, perhaps, can he do so
we'll for himself as in the South.

PEN PORTRAIT OF BONAPARTE BY GROS.
1.-THE painter used this study in his well
known battle picture. "Bonaparte at
Arcola.'1
was convinced of the truth that public
opinion wastes itself on the rumor Of
a project and possesses no energy at
the moment of its execution. In cr-
der, therefore, to direct public atten-
ton to the question of hereditary power
a pamphlet was circulated about Paris
entitled Parallel Between Caesar,
Cromwell and Bonaparte.' 1t was sent
to the First Consul. He was absent
when it came. l read it and perceived
that it openly advocated hereditary
monarchy. | then knew nothing about
the origin of this pamphlet but l soon
learned that it issued from the office Of
the minister Of the interior [Lucien
Bonapartei and that it had been large
ly circulated. After reading it I laid
it on the table. In few minutes
BOnaparte entered and, taking up the
pamphlet. pretended to look through 1t.

tNrely reveals Your views The First
Consul took the pamphlet and threw it
on the ground. as he did all the stupid
publications of the day after having
slightly glanced over them. Next day
the prefets in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Paris sent copy Of 1t to the
First Consul. complaining of its mis-
chievOus effect, and 1 recollect that in
one of their letters it was stated that
such Il work was calculated to direct
against him the poniards of new as
sassins. After reading this CORE
spOndence he said to me: 'Bourrienne,
send for Fouche minister of police].
He must come directly and give an &C
count of this NATTER In half an hour

But one ad will not do it, nor a num-

done regularly and persistently the
cumulative effect is lost and the pos

SMALLER THAN TOM THUMB.
Two Filipino Midgets Perform Aero
batic Feats at the Worlds Fair.

Pigmy Filipinos are all interesting
attraction in the native theatre on
the Philippine reservation at the
Worlds Fair. They are Juan and Mar
tine de la Cruz, a brother and sister.
Juan is 20 years old and 20 inches
high, while his sister is 81 years old
and 81 inches in height. The midgets
are respectively nine and seven inches
smaller than the renowned Gen. Tom
Thumb.
In a picture taken recently of Juan
standing between President David R.
Francis, of the Exposition, and Isaac
S. Taylor, Director Of Works, the
midget's head came just above the
knees of the officials. Juan has a
dress suit which required only one
and one-half yards of cloth in the
making. The little persons are Of
the Visayan tribe and were born in
Capiz, Island of Panay, of parents of
average height. Six other children
of the family are all of average
height. The midgets perform aero
batic feats.

Doubtful Proposition.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The Southern Baptist convention
has a proposition, so we see from the
papers, to unite the Southern and
Northern Baptists i'll special effort
for the educational and religious up
lift of the negroes in the South. This
is probably a symptom of the pres
ence of the Ogden educational move
ment in the South. The negro is do
ing well enough now. He has greatly
improved, we think, since he has been
let alone by certain "buncOmbe"
writer's and declaimers. We have
confidence in the wisdom OF the men
who are considering this matter in
Nashville, and hope they will do
nothing to regret in the future. Any
attempt to unite the Northern and
Southern wings of any religious de-
nomination to deal with the negroes
of the South is, to say the least OF it,
a hazardous proposition. The time
may come when such an alliance can
be effected, but it's not yet. Return
ingto our originalproposition, which
is to let the negro alone. Let him
exhaust his own efforts to help him
self, and then let the white folks OF
the South help in the way that is
best for him. We predict, at this dis
lance from the scene OF action, that
this whole discussion will go up in
smoke-just what it ought to do.
The convention will compromise by
singing From Greenland's ley Noun
tains." And stress the good old doe
trine, Preach the gospel to every
creature" which will include negroes
with all the rest, especial privileges
to none," applies in religion as well
as in politics. The truth OF the bust
ness is, most negroes have already
got religion, and think more of it
than any people on earth. AS for
education, the last one OF them is on
the hunt for that, with zeal and a
determination that is the wonder OF
the world. Some white people seem
to think he is to distance them i'll the
race, but he'll not. 1t will be white
folks and negroes as long as the
world stands. Again we say, let him
alone; he has his place in the economy
of the South. He is our best worker,
the most harmless example OF an in
ferior race this world ever saw.

The following story is told of a
countryman who wasn't onto the
telephone: Entering lawyers office
on some business, he was told by the
attorney to be seated, and that as
soon as he had spoken few words
to his wife he would be at his service.
What was his surprise when, after
delivering his message and turning
to his customer, he was saluted by
that individual:
