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

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.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured I

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional

of the best tonics knowD, combined

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.
