(Mr. Gatling's speech will appear in the next issue of this paper.) Mrs. R. E. Little of Wadsboro, president of the North Carolina Daughters of the Con- 'federacy, then made a most pleas ing little address. After this in his usual eloquent style, Mr. H; S. Ward, a native of Gates, intro duced the speaker of the day, Hon. Claude Kitchin. - The lat ter after introductory remarks, showed the justice of the ppsi tion taken by the Confederates in the Civil War, growing elo quent as he tecounted the Cause for which these southerners: so valiantly fought and -died. The latter part of his masterful ad dress was in praise of our present National administration and our relation to the European war.' Vye regret-that space does not permit a fuller outline of llSx.
