Giles Blackwelfyr, of'Tlfls County,

On Monday night Deputy Mar-
sliall HamptorR of Charlotte
came over here and went otit
jnto the country after a. young
man named '"Giles. Black-welder,
son of Dan BlaqkVelder, who
nowfcves near Mt. Pleasant.
. From the evidence it seems
that this young man workgd for
a short while for. Sam Xinker
near Harrisburg and one morn
iner after he slopt ihere a pucse
was found on.the floorat his bed
which contained five counterfeit
dollars. The purse, . so one of
the witnesses swears, was given
to this young man Blackwelder.
One witness also testified that at
another time she 'saw him have
two of those countorf eit dollars.
. The charge against him is hav
ing the money in his jossession
. but it did not develop on'the
"trial that he was passing ' or
making the , coin. This matter
willno doubt be investigated at
the trial at Federal court in
Charlotte .in June. " A secret
v service man was ' here at the
. trial before U. S. Commissioner,
V J Hill, and questioned, the
witnesses. The defendant did
not make any statement while on
trial. In default of a bond for
his appearance at .tho Federal
court he was placed in our
'county jail.

morial Association of Raleigh as
contained in the 'Sunday's P.o3t
is an .exceedingly interesting
document.. We would like to
give Ihe.whole'report, bift must
be consent with soma, briefs and
clipping's.
It is well calculated, for an in
stant, tQ convulse the whole
being in rage that must 'subside
when we see how much , better
aro'fhe sentiments now." It jlso
excite's the most profound ven
eration for that 'noble body of
women and those who helped
'them to accomplish so much
against such depressing environ
ments. . . "
The.constitution was adopted
and the organization proper took
place on June 16, 1866..
" They wished to take care of
the remains of ' the Confederate
dead. They succeeded in raising
$1,200, and the Legislature of
1867 appropriated $1,500 for the
rmrDOse. .Lots were tenqerea
them, but they were ddvised to
content themselves by fixing up
the Confederate graves, as tney
were ne'ar the rock quarry where
tlifro wp.ro. manv erares. Tho
Ffidp.ral dead were near also.
Here comes a shocking part
which we quote: .
But before any work of im
portance could be done the pres
fdent of the L. M. A. was noti
fied by the United States author
itiesr that 'Confederate soldiers
buried at the rock . quarry ' must
be removed immediately to make
room for the Federal; dead.
Some of the members of the L.
Ml A. remember that this order
was a,cc6mpanied .by the1' threat
that, unless the removal ,was
promptly done the bodies, of the
Confederate dead would be taken
from their craves' and thrown
intoH.TiA riiiblin road. Arrange
AAA W VA-AW ' ; u
ments were made tb effect this
removal as quickly, as possible.

Mordecai . was accepted, and

by the young men of Raleigh
with whdm it was; a labor o

number of ladies were present at
the Confederate cemetery to re

and to keen a watch 'over them
