ceived ft telegram this (Thursday)
morning announcing the sadden
death of his brother, Capt. T
II Arnold, at Memphis, It mi.,

Mr. Arnold was a prominent
Confederate veteran and served
both in the cavalry and infantry,
and had readied the age of about
05 years. Ho leaves only two
eu re brothers Rev. J D Arnold,
of this placo, and Mr. B W Arn

The remains will probably be
buried in Virginia, and Rev. Arn
old will leave tonight to attend
the funeral.
TIihI Urent Confederate HlNlory.
Mr. Warren Burgett is in onr
mulst in the interest of the great
work of the United Confederate
Veteran Association in setting forth
the whole idea of secession from a
Confederate standpoint, a narration
of all the history of the war by
Southern writers, together with an
elaborate roll of individual life
sketches of creditable Confederate
soldiers. This wo k ia yery de
sirable to preserve the essential
truths in which the Southern cause
and Southern valor may be untar
nished to go down to posterity.
It will apreir in 12 volumes. The
work is necessarily very costly and
will not be attempted at all without
subscription enough to warrant the
effort. Lis to be hoped that those
uf mean? will give this splendid ens
terprise such encouragement aa will
secure the Southern boon.

It will be remembered that Mr. Mo

also a musician, being a performer
on both the violin and mandolin,
and some of our people will no

They left Salisbury for Concord
with the intention, they said, ol

hot on their trail and they had to
advance further on towards safer
quarters. They procured a team
from Wadsworth's Sons, and went
in tho direclion of 'Squire Bailes,'
just over the line, returning later
in the evening n'l smiles. No
one could obtain their mines.
They were strictly silent and

BOLD THIEVES CaUGIIT.
Two I'oNtofllee Burglar ArreNted In
Roanoke, Vn.t4Hitt-:-raekliiK To"1
on Them.
Roar oke, Va., March 2;1 Two
of tho postodice thieves, whose
bold operations have recently not
ted them large sums of money
were arrested bore today.
The robberies in this State and
North Carolina had attracted the
attention of the police nuthori
ties here, and the tact that the
descriptions of the supposed
burglars showed that most of tho
robberies were pepetrated by tho
same partios caused Chief Dyer
to circulate such descriptions
among the members of tho police
force of this city, with instructions
that they be on the lookout for
the arrival of the thieves. Infor
mation was received that parties
snswering the description were
coming in this direction, and this
morning Officer Griffin arrested
one of tho men, who gave his
name as Will Howard, of Wash
ington, D. C. On searching his
effects a hammerless pistol, a num
ber of bits, drills, fuse and caps,
oil can and other burglar tools
were fonnd.
Howard is torty years old, five
feet eight inches in hoigth, weight
175 pounds, with sandy hair and
mustache, and blue eyes. His
nose turns up slightly and he
wore a soft hat, light colored coat
and pants. He presented the
appearance oLa traveling man.
His pal escaped, only to bo arrest
ed this evening. He gave his
name as J W Moore, while How
ard says the man's name is How
ard Trestle. Both men admit
having been in Salem labt night
where an attempt was made to
blow open the safo of the post
office. Moore is about forty-five
years old, five feet six iuches high,
and weighs 100 pounds. lie has
red hair and red mustache and his
face is full and rod. The pos
session of the burglar tools insures
Howard a long term of imprison
ment. The above was first seen in
the Washington Tost. It is hoped
that these are the ones that were
ia our community and that broke
into the post offices at Moores-
ville, Mocksville and several other
places. It will also be remember
ed that those persons were once
thought to have been at Class's
siding only a few miles from here
ouo time and officers were in that
community looking for them. J

Baltimore Sun Sajs : Tonight the
Sun Corre pindiiDt received the
following letter from Colonel John
S Motby, loci.l counael at San Fran
cisco of tbe Southern PaeiQc Kiil
road, under date of March 17th, in
which he gives bis views on the
Spanish sitnation :
'T am opposed to going to war
with Spain. First, because I see
no just reason for war, aud, secoud,
because if war comes, I shall go to
war. I wrote to Senator Perkins a
few days ago to say to the President
that 1 thoroughly approved cf the
moderation be has shown, aud do
not believe there will be any devel p
meats to j istify wur; if war cornea
that the old Coifederu'e soldiers
would be the first in the field, and
that 1 should be with th.m.
"There is no more proof of the
Spanish people or government being
responsib'e for tbe blowing up of or
the explosin on the Maine than there
was that the Southern people pro
cured the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln."

Messrs. Banks it Co, of Her
nando, Miss, says the Manufac
turers' Record, find the round cotton
bale profitable to the cotton raiser.
There is a saving of 50 cents in
the baling and all expense of com
pressing, all of which helps to fix
the price to the farmer, beside the
fuct that it is sought in preference
to the equare bale and therefore
much is saved from storeage and
commission.

Hello! When did Albemarle
get emt ou the Seaboard Air
Line; Or didn't those uniforms i
find a jumping off place at Noi
wood? Mr. R A Rrown, o Con
cord, was in town Saturday
aud bought a brick ma
chine Iruiii Messrs. Steele
Sous. This makes the
t'tb machine Mr. Drown
as bought from the Messrs.
tet-le. He is a large contractor
nd makes brick at many
oints, hence the necessity for
many machines; and the fact
that he buys all his machines
here is proof that Messrs.
Steele & Suns manufacture a
flist class machine which
they do. Landmark.
