A LAST INTERVIEW WITH SEN-
VANCE.
What He Said on His Death-bed of the
Party He Loved so Well and Served
so Long.
During my visit to Washington
last week I had the melancholy
pleasure of a long personal con-
with Senator Vance.
As I now feel that his utterance
to me were perhaps the last that
fell from his lips to any
outside his own immediate family,
I think they should be
and handed down to posterity as
the words of North Carolina's
greatest sou, when his feet were
actually laved by the waters of
that dark river across which his
spirit was wafted only a
few hours later.
It was late Wednesday after-
noon when I roached the Sena-
tor's on Massachusetts
avenue. It was a dark, dull,
rainy, cheerless day, and there
was a hush in the street that
pressed me as I hurried along.
The senator was sleeping when I
arrived but Mrs. Vance welcomed
me to the sitting room. Her
showed the anxiety she had
and tho catastrophe she
She gave a minute de-
of the Senator's trip
South, and the in his
condition during his stay. How
the balmy sunshine at Tampa had
revived him and how for a few
days he seemed almost his old
self again. How a sudden recur-
of the intense pains in his
chest and stomach led her to
think that something else was
necessary to relieve what they
both at that time thought to be
rheumatism. How
they hastened Springs
in the hope that the hot
baths would bring relief so
to the comfort. Of
the flood in the river at the time
of their arrival, which overflowed
the pools, making the taking of
baths almost impossible. Of their
journey to Jacksonville, and down
to St. Augustine, with little
and less of hope-
How, at last, the Senator's limbs
way, so that he was unable
to walk. Of the conclusion of
physicians that the former
of his condition had not
been correct; that it was enlarge-
of the liver which caused
his suffering, and not
rheumatism- Of the journey
Washington and the agreement
of tho physicians there that en-
of tho liver was the
trouble.
During all this recital there
was apparently a nervous anxiety
which showed me, before words
conveyed tho impression, that
hope had almost gone from the
hearts of the Senator's devoted
wife and my own was heavy when
I mounted the stairs to the
man lay.
His voice was clear and full,
however, when he greeted me-
He lay at full length in the bed,
with his head and shoulders upon
a bank of pillows. His hand
grasped mine with a firm pressure,
but as my eyes caught the
of his countenance, the
thought forced itself on my mind,
will never leave this
The fire of strong intelligence
was in the eye, the ring of con-
mastery of his mental
was in his voice, but over
it all came the instinctive con-
that he was in the valley
of the shadow of death.
He minutely concern-
friends in Asheville, and as
to the effects of the recent cold
weather upon the fruit in North
Carolina, and expressed the hope
that his orchard had
escaped by reason of its altitude,
saying that the season was fully
two weeks later up there than at
any point east of the ridge.
The Senator then turned his
face full me and asked,

rived at this conclusion, since
I have been lying here on my
back I have thought profoundly
of many things, and among them
this idea of my earlier manhood
has become a steadfast conviction.
For thirty years of my life I
fought, as a Whig, the Democratic
party, and sometimes when it
was overwhelmingly defeated I
thought it could rise no more, but
from its wrecks and disasters it
would come more mighty than
ever before and sweep away all
opposition. The word Democrat
stands for human freedom and
cannot die. The people believe
in it, when freedom is
ed liberty jeopardized, at one
blast of that magic name men
will come from the mountains and
from the valleys and place the
Democratic party in power.

WATCH THE MAN WHO MAKES
STRIFE WHERE THERE WAS
NONE.
The most deplorable thing in
our latter day politics is the
effort to arouse
between the people who live in
the country and those who live in
the town. Of course this appeal
is made to the people of the
try, because they are the ma-
It is not addressed to
town people, because they of
themselves, have no offices to
give; and besides, they could not
afford, even if they wanted to, to
set themselves up against the
of the country because
they are dependent upon
the latter. The people who live
the rural districts are, as we
have suggested, the majority.
They can the town in
politics, can cripple their progress
and prosperity, and do them much
harm every way, but wherefore
Who would be the if this

It is monstrous, this effort to
cause division between the

man living out to
himself, surrounded by his own
broad acres j the other living in a
settlement, with neighbors in
front, in rear, and on both sides
of him, all within call. What is
the between those two
men, in thought, feeling, impulse
or interest The town man prob-
ably came from the
some of his ancestors.
They are at all events, of the
same blood, and what of it if one

whose money he gets for goods
after the produce has been sold
the while the man

farm who sells cotton in com-
petition with him than ho has to
hate the man who buys the cot-
ton or tho man who sells him
goods for the money the cotton
brought him.
We wish all of our people
could be brought to look at this
matter rightly. The town man
can with profit consider tho case
of the farmer who, while he has
enough to oat to support his
family and his stock, is yet short
of ready countryman
would do well to think occasion-
ally of the town man as laden
with wing money to
tent creditors for the goods which
line his shelves, and scrambling
for cash with which to moot his
obligations. Life is not a path-
way strewn with flowers to either,
and each makes a mistake sup
posing the other is treading
a royal road. The relations

dependent. There is no natural I
conflict between them and each j

the same laws and the same op-

life and liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, and the man who
would arouse antagonism be-
tween them is an enemy of the
race.
We note, as have said, with
regret, the studied efforts to ex-
cite feeling between the two class-
es mentioned- No greater
could befall the people than
such a division as that which it is
being sought to establish. The
natural sentiment, as between
people of the same race and kin
is one of fraternity, and
that is especially true of homo-
people, like those of
North Carolina, nearly all of
them natives, as were their
their fathers before them; and
the considerate citizen who wish-
es well for his State, which he
hopes will be the home of his
children after him, needs to mark
well the man who would make a
cleavage between the men who
live here in the settlement and
the men who live out yonder in
the forest. There is politics in

A Reed Through His Foot.
A little eight-year-old son of
Mr. G. T. Whichard, of Carolina
township, met with a terrible ac
on Tuesday evening of last
week. He was out in the field at
work jumped across a ditch
there were a lot of reed
stubbles from a last year's cut-
ting. The little fellow was bare-
footed, and one of
striking the hollow of his foot
stuck entirely through it, the end
pushing up the skin on his in-
step- The boy's shrieks brought
his father to him, when he
tried to pull the reed out it broke
off leaving part of it in the foot.
Mr. Whichard brought ins son
to Dr. Bagwell at once who, as-
by Dr. Laughinghouse,
succeeded in getting all the reed
out after tedious work. The boy
suffered intensely, but at last ac-
counts was getting along as well
as could expected. It was a
serious wound, as from such there
is often danger of lock-jaw or
blood poison.

Mr. Evans is the father of the

not have been placed in

A years ago only when the
eastern countries first to
cultivate we were
by our county
friends that no land was suitable
for tobacco here except the very
poorest-hill sides sand hills.
Poor laud they well ma
made the tobacco,
while naturally fertile land
grown it to course and bony.
The spread of tobacco culture
over Eastern North Carolina
however has long ago
ed tho fact that our poor land that
will not make anything else is
not the we want to grow
tobacco on. A gentleman who
last year sold his crop of tobacco
for per acre five years ago
would have told that his
land would not make tobacco,
because it was too rich- It strikes
us that tho best we have sold
grew on a gray, flowery soil
that neither extremely
hard in weather very soft
wet. A between very
and very dark soil with a
clay sub soil is the kind to select
to the finest tobacco.

with him ever since and that
he had proved as faithful and as
good a tenant as any white man
that he had ever employed. Mr-
Hodges gives him the use of a
milch cow and he says the
kept the cow in much better con-
than ho can keep his own
and likewise the horse that he
works. This is saying a great
deal for tho colored man for
while the stock on this farm are
not rolling fat yet they are in
good working condition and show
that they get attention. We
noticed that the farm was well
supplied with improved farm ma-
such as harrows for
tho land, guano
tors, the latest improved plows
and every working farm gear, the
last of which is one of the most
important of all things connected
with farm life and one which in
comparison with its importance
is neglected more than any other.
We noticed frolicking around the
barn yard a number of colts
which in a few years will be old
enough to take the place of horses
and mules that will cost more
double what they have cost.

On last Friday the
writer in company with Mr. J. H-
Peebles left Greenville for the

of our visit this occasion
was to in operation Mr. Hod-

been pressed several times to
visit that section of Beaufort
county to pass our judgment on
the advisability of tho soil for to
growing in response to a
letter from Mr. Hodges to come
and set up his planter. We wrote
him that we would be on hand

There is a great deal of good to-

county but like our own county
also sterile places for
tobacco. Washington is a larger
town than Greenville and its in-
are more varied lumber

leading pursuits but like Green-
ville in one particular its main
thoroughfare is so very narrow
that it can never made a pretty
street. While in Washington we
met Col. W. R. Wharton, Mr.
Thomas and a good many
others just beginning to grow
tobacco. They look upon it in j
about the same light that our
Pitt county farmers did five years
ago. We venture to say however,
