.War Relics. . -Mr.
Geo. W, Howard has four rel-
ics ot tne war between toe states.
He prizes them highly and keeps them
safely nailed up in a boi. Mr How
ard was one manv who saw all the
war. 1 He marched away at the first
call, and stacked arms on the day of
the surrender at Appomattox Uourt
House. He was captured, at tne bat
tle of Fredericksburg, December 12th
1862, but was parolied as prisoner of
war one week nfterwards. He has
this paroll pass, and the one given
him at Appomattox, and will keep
them as loos . as he hyes. On the
banks b'f the Rappahannock river, be
picked up a marcel shell. It is stone
and , in the Bhapa of a cork screw.
Few such specimens are extant, and
and are highly prized by relic hunt
ers. Perhaps it was used by the abo
rigines in drawing corks from bottles
of good old corn. Mr. Howard car
ried it until the close of the war and
never once had ah opportunity of
testing its efficiency in drawing Corks,
This w is one of the fates of the war.
tie has pictures of the three confed
erate fiMSri ad a friction primer.
The pVAner was taken by him from
a confederate caisson, at Appomai
tox court bouse, on tne day ot tne
surrender of Lee's army. Tnis pri
mer is dear to him, for with a quick
jerk of the primer the old cannon
would explode, and tne spir ts or a
d .-zeu.or two of Yanks, go sailing u p
to the moon.

Editor Recorder: In writing
my apology for unjustly assailing the
hrm of W. Duke bona a Vo mem
beia of the Slain Street, U. E.
Church and tht Dubham Recobdeb,
I c-rtaiuly iutendt d no injury to the
Knight of Labor or individual mem
bers thereof. I simp y intended to do
what 1 conscientiously felt to be a
plain christian duty. '
The action taken by Jj Assembly
4105, 5207 and 7539, is therefore un
just, as it is base 1 up m a m sappre
uecsiae ot my purnos ; nence l do
not feel in the lead humiliated; on
the contrary I esteem the vote expell
ing me, as a positive kindness.
t or the miury intend d me in
those resolution, I entettain feelings
only of kindness and commiseratiou.
by their action 1 feel tnat "the sin
that did so easily besot me" has been
rt moved from my pathway, and to-
lay l am Indeed a tree man, to de
vole my undivided tnergies and abil
ities to the sacred cause which lies
nearer my heart than all other causes
couitiim-d.
With good will f r all mankind, I
have the honor of fruiting myself,
your friend and humble servant.

the democratic senators to arrange
the positions of the minoilty on the
various committees, including the
chairmanship civ-n the minority and
aiao recommenaations no me two
contested elections, will report k- a
caucus to-rooirow. It is understood
that they will report m favor ol in
sisting that Messrs. lurpie and
Fuulicner Khali be sworn m without

tn the awA&rinaf in Lf Mr. Turnift. in

which event Mr. VoorSees will obiect
to the oath being administered to
any of the republican senators elect.
By the cusWrnary alphabetical order
m which senators are called f n sqjads
of four to be sworn Mr. Turpie's name
will be called last, but Mr Voorhees
proposes to anticipate emergencies bv
inmuntie before tne atn is
ad ministered to anv one if objection
is to bo .made to Mr. Turpie, and if
there is an affirmative answer, he will
begin his v'jjVction with the first re
oublican called. Should this be
done the senate may he in a bad lock

quite exciting.

toward the ship owners old fight for
high wages and right to dictate rules
about crews, -etc., have been renewed
with vigor. The union has resorted
to force in the Southern California
ports, aud Monday night at San Diego
threw dynamite bombs against a boy
cotted barque, tearing a hole in her
bow. Officers of the union here de
clare openly ilia t they understand the
manufacture and ue of dynamite and
wiil use their knowledge of it in the
fight against ship owners.
Railroad Itooming Ahead.
On Saturday last Messrs. L. Wright
&Co., moved their force from be
tween Clarksville and Sassafras Fork
to Oxford, and on Monday of this
week commenced at the depot lot
west of the town to grade the main
line to Hick's pond. We have known
many contractors on our , various
railroads in North Carolina, but we
have never known any to have more
vim 1 and push than this firm have
shown. Tom - Wright is a go ahead
sort of a man, and he means business
when he starts about any work. . We
have heard it'said that" he bas told
"the powers that be" that if ; they
would give him the contract of the
Oxford and Durham road he would
put one thousand hands and five
hundred head of mules and complete
th road to Durham by the ' Hist of
May. He is the man we are look eg
for, and we hope the company will lie
of the same wy of thinking. Ox
