SELECT ENCAMPMENT SITE
Gen. Robertson Decides on Summer
Rest Grounds.
He and Committee Visited Several
Proposed Sites-Encampment to be
Held About Middle of July Will
be Conducted on Regular Campaign
Methods

Adjutant T. r Robertson has visited
Wilmington and after viewing the pro-
posed encampment sites on the Sound
announced hat tie Second and ThiII
regiments would camp at Wrightsville
and he decided on the old encampment
ground at Summer Rest.
General Robertson went to the Sound
with a committee composed of Colonel
T. G.. James, Colonel Charles II.
White, Captain W. T. Robertson, Lieu
tenants E. A. Nets and McRee Hatch
and Mr.. A B.. Shedding and went over
the GROUNDS at Summre Rest, the old
grounds at the Wright place and also
went over a proposed site hear Macum-
ber's store. Of the three locations he
decided upon the one at Summer Rest.
After going over the locations General
Robertson mel with Mr.. w. B. Cooper,
president of the Merchants Association
and the directors, who assured their
best efforts to have everything liked
up in the proper shape for him.
The encampnlent will take place the
middle of July but the exact date has
not yet been decided upon. The colonel
of one regiment said the 18th would
suit him and the other the 18TH so it
can be seen hat they are not far apart
and it is settled that it will be about
the middle of July.
Mr.. Shedding will at once begin to
have things got in readiness for the
encampment. The first thing necessary
will be to have the underground
cleared out and a 1ard road will likely
be built along the sound to the grounds.
At the present time a portion OF the
road between the encampment grounds
and the station IS nothing but a sand
bed.
1t is General RObertsOn's intention
to have a real e~ncampment and not a
gathering for pure amusement. Meth
DDS will be used just as if the men were
in an actual campaign. General Rob
ertson says particular attention will be
given to target practice and outside
drilling. The members of the state
guard are very inefficient marksmen
and it is the intention of the officers
to give the men as much practice as
possible. The two regiments will brir.,
about 1000 men, possibly 1000.

Governor Douglas, of Massachu-
sets, has announced that he will not
be a candidate for denomination. We
do not hear of any republicans Of that
state grieving over this. 1t seems that
Mr.. Douglas has enough of the gov
ernorship and wishes to get back to
the shoe-shop. His election showed
his great popularity. His admins
tration has been a successful one, and
he is said to be even more of a favor
ite with the people than when elected,
and there would be no doubt of his
denomination and second election were
he to consent to be a candidate before
the democratic convention. His re-
fusal to do this means that the execu-
tive department will again fall into
the hands of the republicans, for we
do not suppose there is another demo-
crat in the state who can carry it.

OIL EARNINGS

The Standard Oil Company is one
of the protected infantile industries
of this country which has grown &c
enormous proportions under the foster
ing care of a benign and induIgent GOV
eminent. The claim is made by those
who defend this company and our pres
ent high tariff system that there is
no protection given this company an
der the Dingley act. Yet it cannot
be denied that our laws put an empar-
go IN the importation of oil from the
only country i'll the world which can
compete with this big American COM
pany. Under our retaliatory law Rus
sian oil refineries are debarred the
right to ship oil 20 this county because
of Russia's laws favoring her oil IN
dustry as against that of other Our
tries. Because of these laws III gov
eminent puts a neavy duty ON oil from
Russia. This gives the Standard Oil
Company a monopoly in the United
states. Inc RECORDS Tor the past lOur-
teen years show that this company has
become strong enough to stand with
out the pecuniary support of the gov
eminent. We do not suppose there is
another company in the world which
for the same length of time has paid
such large annual dividends. From the
Charlotte Chronicle we take the fol-
lowing as to the profits holders Of
stock of this company have made in
this length of time:
One of our financial exchanges gives
us some interesting figures on Stand
ar5 Oil earnings. The company re-

MORE RESTRICTIONS NEEDED.

The Charlotte Observer has evident
~ become tired of SO much paternal-
ism and attempt at Iegislating morals
and good into the people by
the state legislature. Under the head
ing of More Restrictions Needed" it
prints the following editorial:
The Monroe Enquirer says it reduir-
ed no act If he legislature to keep it
from publishing the income tax re-
turns: that it considered that It
would be in fust as good taste and as
much Il matter of public interest to
pu,.lish the amour of property listed
by certain citizens as &c. publish n
returns made by them as to their in
coTnes. However," it concludes. sit
looks like a mighty thin law-that
prohibitory law against publishing
facts from the tax books-and we
have no idea II would stand il tested.
The tax books are public property and
a newspaper has a right to publish
ANYTHING that may be found on them
But as General Leach used TO exclaim
speeches, Great God. &c. low-citizens.
don't ycu understand The thing to
understand new is that if anything -
being done that o don't agree ought

law. II the hcgs persist in sleeping

HOME FOR AGED ODD FELLOWS
Board of Trustees Decide to Begin its
Erection at Once-The Recent Fire
the Work of an Incendiary
Especial to The Messenger.)

GOldsboro, N. c., May 31.-The
board of trustees Of the Odd Fellows
orphan home. who We're in session in
this city yeste.day and last night, de-
cided to begin at once the erection of
a suitable building on the premises
of the orphan Gulre here for aged aid
INDECENT Odd Fellows. A resolution
~instructing the Eoard to have such a
building erected was passed by the
last state grand lodge of that order
and the action of the trustees yester-
day was simply carrying out what the
lodge had ordered. The state grand
lodge will meet in this city next year
and it is the purpose of the board of
trustees to have the new building
ready for dedication when the lodge
meets.
From the evidence obtained in the
case it is thought hat the fire which
occurred in the store occupied by Cas-
tex Il Co., last night, was of an in
Cendiary origin. When the firemen
reached the scene several goods boxes
were piled up in the real of the store
and a window light was broken from
the window. The smell of kerosene
Gil was also noticeable. A negro who
works for CasteX was locked up this
morning but afterwards released for
lack Of evidence. The store was in
sured for $1,000 and the damage is
estimated at $500. The store of
goods carried by CasteX & Co. is val
ued at $4,000, with $1,000 insurance.

GUITEAU-s

Since the trial of the man who as
sassinated President Garfield the life
of the lawyer who defended him has
been a sad one. George ScoyIlle. of
Chicago, is the man. At that time he
was a lawyer in full practice and
stood well in his profession and So
cially. His wife vas a sister OF the
assassin and insisted on her husband
defending him. Scoville was unwiIl-
ing to do so. but he stood by his wife
and sacrificed himself for her brother.
When the trial closed he was a ruined
man. Clients fOrsook him and former
friends Stunned him. His wife, even.
deserted him and secured a divorce.
Only his children remained true to
him. The Charlotte Chronicle gives
this statement regarding the mans
life for the last twenty-five years.:
ScovilIe took to the woods and for
twenty-five years has been known as
The hermit of Bass Lake. Ind. 1t is
now announced that Scoville has tired
Of the life of a recluse and has come

Yer. for he insists in his declaration
that toe law is a r-arce. The mans
life was really wrecked by his Loyalty
to his wife and his brother in-law.

him. and it was their influence that
has prevailed upon him finally to Civ.

DIR KEYS

We publish in another column a syn
opsis of a recent address on eastern
North Carolina and its people, when
was recently delivered in South Con-
gregational church, Boston, by DR.. w.
S. Key. That is the church of which
DR.. Edward Everett Hale is pastor aud
DR.. Key is his assistant. The article
is not too long for careful reading.
There are manS things in the address
worthy of careful note by the people of
this section. They can get some valua-
BILE suggestion from it. The speaker
is clearly in earnest in his work and
has faith in the people among whom
he came al a stranger and whom he
soon learned to respect and love. His
address will open the eyes of some of
his friends of the north-especially of
those who are as ignorant of the con-
ditions at the south as DR.. Key admit
ted that he was before he came among
US. Some of his statements, we think,
were made without thorough under
standing of the facts, but still, on the
whole, he shows hat he has given he
situation careful study and is %convino-
ed that u people are entirely misun-
derstood and the conditions not known
by those people OF the north who have
never taken the trouble to ascertain
the truth and investigate the state Of

GEORGE WASHINGTON INDICTED.

In these days it is nothing unusual
to read in the newspapers that George
Washington has been indicted for lar
Ceny or burglary Or murder. Instances
of the indictment of men of this and
other illustrious names in American
history have become quite frequent
since the emancipation Of the negroes.
This has become commonplace. 1t is
even, no longer a matter of joke for
the funny column men of the press.
But the George Washington indict-
ment to which we have reference in
this article is not one of this kind.
We refer to the incident of the pre-
sentiment by the grand jury Of that
George Washington who was the
father of his country, the commander
in-chief of the American armies and
the twice-chosen president Of the
United States. We wonder how many
of our readers are ware of this fact?
1t staggered us when we read the
statement of the Richmond News
Leader that it was an actual
fact that George Washington-the
country's George Washington-had
been prosecuted by the grand jury
OF his county for not properly listing
his taxes. The records Of Fairfax
county contain a copy Of the present
ment made in 1850 against Washing
ton and. several other gentlemen for
failure to list their wheel carriages
for taxation. The presentment is as
follows:
I'VE present George William Faic-
fax. George Washington. JohH Carlyle.
Daniel French. Robert Poggess. Gates
by Cooke. Townsend Dade. Sybill West.
Gerard alexander. Jemima Minor.
William Ramsay. BENJAMIN Grayson,
George Mason. John Plummer. Daniel
McCartv and Abraham Barnes for en-
tering their wheel carriages agreeable
tC law as appears to us by list deliver
cd by the clerk of the county"
The News Leader says hat evident
~ the word mot which should have
appeared between the words for and
entering" was accidentally omitted in
copying the record.
Some would claim from this that
tax lodging was an ancient and hon.
orable proceeding on the part of the
property of this county, but
we feel compelled to state that we can
not agree with them in holding up the
first George Washington as an exam
pie of this kind Of citizen. The tax
dodger of today is a person who tries
to keep from defraying his just pro-
portion of the expenses of the state
and sometimes he VIII come very close
to committing perjury to do so. No
one who puts any faith in the cherry
tree episode believes that Our Wash
ington" would have ted a lie to save
the few cents of taxes which would

Mr.. Schwab says he went to Rus
STA to advise that government as to
building it's own warships. The all

is not by whom they shall be built, but

other navy Russia had better also Sc
cure some officers and sailors TO man
the new warships.
