Wednesday, December 14.1898 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The Present** mcm^e i?- a valuable historic*! ptp'T, *.i<i be pre * ?-? ? * ( US . gcrvea on siccjunv u?? vuviv^iw*> narrative of evvnL* np to I he war and the eveuts incident 10 the war. "A rerieve of the ie;atio>i of the United States to o*her Powers, alwaya appropriate, is, this vrar, of primary i?porta;tce," says ths President, '*in Ti#w of the momentous issues wnicb have arisen, demanding in one instance the ultimate determination by arms, and involrinjf far reaching eonseqaence*, which will require the earnest attention of the Congress." Of course he refers to the relation* with Spain, and the last war. The country wilj at lea*t be giad to know that the "determiution" or our peace commissioners involving "lar reaching consequences" is folly appreciated by the President, bnt it is to be regretted that he himself expresses no opinion on tb? subject, but merely says that it "will require the earnest atteniion of tbe Congress/' Congress is not often senon*. It is too full of politics to be serious, and in these days it is doubtful whether it will deal satisfaciorilv witb so serious / " a question "involving far reaching consequences." We, therefore, regret that the President decided net to discuss "at this time the government or fnture of tbe new possessions, which will come to us as the result of the war with Spain." Hewever we may have his views hereafter, for be adds: "Such discussion will be appropriate after the treaty of peace shall be ratified." If Congress shall tal& as much as it is wont to do, the military government over Cuba and "the new poswill continue for some time, ior "in the meantime," gays the President, "and until Congress has legislated otherwise, it -will be my duty to continue the military governments which have existed since our occapatiou and give to the people security in life and property," &c. Parenthetically it may be^observed that thi.? military bus-iues* is goiug to cost a bi&r pile of money, and we believe that even after Congress ha< acted, themilitary will be needed iu "our new possessions", and it is impossible :o tell bow long ir will be the President's "duty to continue the military government." The $20,000,000 will uot touch the price which we shall have to pav for ihe Phillipines. The Charlotte Observer notes with pleasure that the President nowhere in hi* message to Congresc refers to the race troubles in North Carolina aud South Carolina. Once upon a iime =-cch a matter would not hare e>caped the attention of a Republican President, and the South is justified in conclnding that a change has come over the North. It is to Mr. McKiniey's credit that be leaves these internal dissensions in the States to be controlled b* the State Government. Federal int3rferer.ee has been tried, aud failed. All in all the President's u eesage is a good document. Farxxbs are crowded with advice at this seatou. The sum and substance of it all is to persnada tbem to do something besides planting cotton. In many of the Northern States fortunes are made by chicken and duck farms. Only a few seres are required, but Via "wnoi-j orilfA thp.ir whole aLbOUtlO) Wg V IT UV* O ^t* V ?w? .. to the busiceis. If the same work and energy were ?HspJayed here, just as mn.ch could be made ou chickens, docks, turkeys, &c., as in New England. The trouble with us is that we do not make a start in the right direction and do not keep in the right direction. Thx Columbia Retister has suspended. The paper has been run at a loss for a number of years, and finally tb<? jlant was sold and it was printed by the State Company and appeared as an afternoon paper- Columbia is barely ready to support a good afternoon newspaper. The President urges an increase of th? army to 100,000 men. So much additional expense on account of "our aew policy of imperialism/' Like the pent-ion list the army will have to grow. Cotton mius are all right, but a variety o* manufacturing industries is better. Tnere are many industries which pay just as well as cotton mills. ''Complications in the Eastern questions" will be a familiar argument in a fpwr \*ar? for a still larger standing army.

Perched astride bis uote were three pairs of spectacles arranged in taudem, while the pair nearest h:?j e>e* were adorned ?n either side with & piece or brisjkt tin about the size of a silver dollar, rerv much in the fashion of blind* on a bridle. He sometimes wore a cloth around bis throat and tied above kis head, for no o?h"r reason than to save his friend* tnat trouble iu case death should suddenly oveitake hi*. After reading, half aloud, a chapter of the Old Testament, he aro**, jyd in stretching his cramped limba, dwplajed hi* splendid Th..n?rh t*ill hiiH m'nftwv. yuy au MnM ? -- j his frame wn? a liitle too sleuder io l>e well proportioned. The erectues? of bis body, the easy grace of his movements, and the flash of his eyes: ail bespoke the Indian blood that coarsed through his veins. Snch was the outward appearance of Stocton Harris, the subject of our sketch. An acquaintance of several years enables ns to see him in a phase most unlike the impression he would make on the casual observer. It was his custom to 8top work, no matter what that work was, at noon, and finding some secluded seat, to read a -chapter of the Bible, preferably of the Old Testament, after which he would termonize aloud over what he had read, and chant fome unintelligible song that only a negro pretends to uuderotani. S >me of the negroej said that he was a .little crazy on the i-ubject of religion; however true tbat uiay be, we do not know, but his views on some subjects and some of his peculiarities are unique?some, *eve-i attUsing. He believed that God had given him some peculiar power of eyesight which placed him far above his fellow beings, ai.d made it bis special duty to protect anil bless some persons and commuoities. With such a view ot duty, it is hnr. natural he should kUDDose that he bad ec.emies, and to protect himself against these, explains some of the paraphernalia with which he bedecked hit person. The pi#ces of tin woru on his spectacles and the thre? pairs of glasses prevented evil-minded persons from injuring: his supernatural eyes. Close to the skin of bis back and extending from his waist up to his shoulders, was a piece of plank, "a shield," to protect his vitals frooa murderous assaults fiom the rear. Across his caest was a similar shield, serving a like purpose 'against attacks Irom the front, tie occasionally wore Jl UrUSK 1UUH?BiUinai iijujc uu 1 mr road switches?polished until it kurt tbe eves to .'ook at it, Wound around ach wrist with a piece of clotb which completely hid the lock from view. VV? were Lever ablt to Jcarn the ?g nifioauce of this precaution, except tn*t it was some important part of ti9 rtgdiia. An ?ld axe, scoured until it glistened, was bound about his waist by a girdle of calf-skin, which passed through the eye of ike *xe. This axe, weighing about seven peuuds, wa? worn next to his skin and was never known to be missing from its position at his left aide. For a long time, tbe object of tbis formidable editors was not known, but one day, wlieo irritated by qae-uons as to wny h8 wore the axe, be explai :ed, with much Indignation, thai l e read in tbe Bible of the Acts of the Apostles, and tbat he bad as good right to wear an axe as did. (Jnliko mofct of his r*ce, he would not eat watermelons, tomatoes, or anything that bad the appearance of the color of blood. And we have known him walk three miles to drink of a certain spring, which possessed soo?e peculiar properties known only to himself. He had two teeth missing in front and spent most of his spare time trying to replace them with the product of Lis bands. Many days were spent in "rinding and filing an old cow's tooth so as to fill the vacancy; and sometimes he would inabe a very neat job, but in a few days the gem would >s lost. After making and losiosr a good mauy, be *et about to devise a too:h that would overcome this difficnlty. The subject caused him a great deal of concern, for be could not sing whan the teeth were ont, Finally, he "bit upon an idea," be said, and went to a tinsmith's to put it into effect. This wis his scheme: He fitted a cow's tooth in the space j between his teeth, and filed it to match j its neighbors, and then filed cavities in the edges to matcb cavities in bis j |good teeth. He wa? to pot the to-th in place and bold a wet rag on the inside of his month, np agaiust the tooth, a-id to let the tinner pour enongh melted lead iuto the cavities to lock j the tooth secnrely iu p ace, lie made all his preparation!, melted the lead, kind givttig the tinner a teaspoon, a?k?d him toponr the lead for him. The tinner was very much surprised and objected, sayiujr ihat tbe bot lead would surely burn him. Stocon, believing that tbe wet ray would prevent tbe lend from burning him, told the tinner s?, and offered to pay him to pour the lead. Seein* tbathe was thrftwinur argnment away, the tinn-r thought he would try some other tactics, and getting the urgro in po?ition, down on hi-* knee?, suddenly brought the spf'On filled with hot lead in proximity to Stocton's none. With one inhalatyan of.tbe hot gas, he cot a someriet backwards in the ' dirt. When Stocton came to, he decided to abandon his iead scbime, but , spent several days trying to set me | tooth in pla?e with plaster of paris. We have told or some of Stocton'd peculiarities, uow let us close this sketch with a picture of bis best side This oi?l negro, for he bad parsed the meridian oi life, was bon: in slavery, and spent the first few years of hi* life serving the man he .-till calls "Old Master" We have known him for several vears, and never wa> friend more fnithful or servant more honest.
