A., SPEAKS HERE Army Officer Addresses Rotarians and Tells Something of National Guard Work in the State. “Concord's national guard company represents a community insurance, of which each citizen is a policy holders, and also a director,” said Captain Henry W. Edmonds, United States army officer stationed by Vac war .de partment to work with the national guard in North Carolina, in a talk | made Wednesday before the member* of the Rotary Club of Concord at the club's weekly luncheon held at Hotel Concord. “National guard training and in struction when applied in accordance with t-he policy and the training di | receive of the chief of militia bureau, (not only\results in giving the young ; man know.edge of things military but lit develops him physically, mentally ! and morally, teaches him the duties 1 and responsibilities of citizenship as j well as the liberties which is. after J nil, Americanism, in its true sense,” 1 Captain Edmonds said. Captain Edmonds told something of I the history of the present national guard, how. by an act passed by Con gress iu 1792. that the militia was first started. Captain Edmondson read the act of 1792 which showed that every man from the age of 18 to 45 was in the militia aiid that he had to furnish his own gun, bullet* and other equipment. The act was changed | June 3, 1910, and divided the militia into three classes, first, the national guard; second, the naval militia, and third, the unorganized militia. “The national guard is a state force, under full control of the governor in peace time, who may use it for any purpose within the state, when he feels the situation justifies such ac tion. The national guard is subject to draft into federal service by the ! President of the United States in un emergency requiring the employment of armed land forces in excess of those of the regular army—in case of sui’.i a call they are obligated to serve for the period of the war 01 other emer gency unless sooner discharged." Cap tain Edmondson said. “A natiopal guard unit such as Concord has not only represents a strong peace force, for use in main , tenance of law and order, should a disturbance ever occur which could not he handled by the local police and sheriff’s office—but it also constitutes a well organized and trained field force through which relief may be quickly extended to the injured, home less and suffering citizens in ease of 1 flood, tin*, tornado or similar disaster of magnitude such as have occurred in different parts of the United States during the past few years,” Captain Edmondson said, and then made the statement that the national guard did relief work in eleven states during last year and .cited several instances of the aid they had been to the strick en people of storm vicinities. The program committee of the meet ing Wednesday was Put Ritchie and Gus Hart sell. The program for the meeting next weekly luncheon will be in ('llurge of Irwin Wondhouse and Maury Richmond.

THE CONCORD ftMES 1 FOLLOWERS OF LEE HONOR HIS BIRTHDAY Confederate Veterans Given Dinner at Hotel Concord. —Judge John M. Og lesby Makes Address. i Os tlte fast Fanning line of Con federate veterans, nineteen met Wed nesday to celebrate the birthday of their leader. General Robert E. Lee, soldier and educator. Nineteen men, till of whom have passed their allotted time of three ; score years aiid teu, several of them feeble, lame, tyalf blind and deaf, all sons of the Southland and yet era as of the Confederate Army in the "War Between the States,” for a Confeder ate veteran never says he fought in IMe Civil War, presented a spectacle that sent a tightening tremor about the heart. The Confederate veterans presept were members of Cabarrus Camp No. 212 of the United Confederate Vet eran*. The veterans were Quests at dinner of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. j The private dining room in which the dingier was served was decorated I witty the “Stars and* Bars" nnder ivhk’.i the men fought with Lee Jtnd Jackson. Red carnations were on the tables. Those present at the dinner were: D. R. Colrrauc. G. M. Lore. A. M. Brown. A. G. l*st. J. S. Harris. J. C. Dikes. J. P. Culp, J. M. Safrit, A. M. Fisher. J. S.

General Robert E. Lee. "It is wonderful to be alive today and to live in the South, in North Carolina, a state which extends frirtn the great hills of Die west, across tin piedmont section and touche* the wat ers of the Atlantic Ocean.” Judge Oglesby said. "And while it is great to live in this age and in this great state which ’.ias made such wonderful i progress in roads, education, indue ji tries and other things, we must not I forget that we of today have a herit age of strength, courage, manhood and character from tho*e who lived before us or we would not' have made the progress we have today.” "We of the Southland received a gio j rious ’aeritage from Lee and his fol -1 lowers. When as a child I saw a Confederate veteran 1 saw in him all that was true, fine aud courage in his duy and age. After reaching man hood and reading of the achievements of Lee and his followers 1 was prdud to be a humble son of the Southland,” Judge Oglesby loud. "The ou*;dmliug thing and the out standing Clement of the ('onfederate soldier's life and 'iiis leaders’ life is his character.' -If North Carolina is great, she is great because of liar 1 righteousness, her courage anfl her ; character, and we today inherited those qualities from the Confederate soldier.” j “No historian can write a true hi*- 1 lory of the Htate of North Craolina unless he gives to t’.ie Confederate I veteran considerable credit for giving the present age real manhood, courage and character.” Judge Oglesby con j tinued. ' ' Judge Oglesby concluded by saying, j "W hen I note the progress that we have made today and see bow much of the progress is dm* t© the real man hood and character Fa at is left to us j.frorti tho*C who have gone before, I j say as did Kipling ’Lord God of | hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget, ! lest we forget.' We have a glorious heritage from Robert E. Lee and those who fought with him and we mint gi\e ciedit to them for a large ( part of the progress that we sec hi Fiis j present age." * i COURT CASES Several Cases Disposed of in Cabarrus Superior Court—Compromises En tered. j Several cases were disposed of in> aba mis Superior Court yesterday, with Judge John M.
