The service was in charge of the Daughters of the Confederacy, who had a very nice program. The history of the flags of the nation by Rev. Askew was very interesting and wheu the band struck up Dixie aud the Confederate battle flag was hoisted above tbe Confederate monument the cheering was immense. After this (he great throng repaired to | the £ourt House where they listen ed to Capt. Boone an Ex-Confeder ate of Hertford County for more than an hour with much interest. Then the crowd was invited tp dinner where an abundance of barbecue awaited all. Dinner be ing over the throng passed to the base ball park when » rather tame game of ball by Windsor and Au lander was partially played, the hour for the racing being at hand everybody rushed to the race track, which is an ideal one, when a series of very intcrsting races were witnessed as follows: $*5.00 f urse; 2:20 class best 2 in 3 heats.

V • - • - • ;-r Electric Line to Washington Mr. W. K. Jones of the Wash ington Investment Company, of Washington, and Mr. Trenholm, civil engineer, are in the city look ing after location for an electric line from Williamston to Wash ington. From what they have seen of the country it is very probable the line will follow the county road, with two spnrs one running to Bear Grass and one to Smithwick Creek. These gentlemen have the char ter for such a road and we are in formed that the organization will be completed during the cowing week, after which the officers and directors will be anuounced. The running of such a line will be of great bene6t to the people along its line as well as to the residents of Williamston. It will bring us in closer touch with the outside world aud will also Increase railroad facilities. In a way it will create competition to the A. C. L. Railroad, and this in itself will be of iuestimable value to shippers of this section of the coun try.
