CONNOR, Bpeuker of the Bouse of Representative. Another Confederate Gone. One by one the old Confederate-soldiers drop out of line. On May the 29, 1900. Joseph Cornell while operat ing a saw mill near his heme was thrown upon the saw and was so mangled that he died in twenty-eight hours uf tei wards. He was born about they.ear 1812, and was married tolle beccaHarman about they.ear 1865, from which union there were sevn children, a 1 1 of whom sin vive him. He was baptized into the fellowship of the church at Antioch ahont the year '06. By an unfortunate misnnder standing between him a a d others, he was excluded from the fellowship ot the church and he never again applied to be restored. He often re ferred to it, but said he was excluded unjustly and could therefore make no acknowl edgment, and the wfiteris confidently of the op nion that his exclusion wis un just. Whatever his mistakes may have neen we will throw oyer them the mantleof char ity, and we are pleased t o state that from hisfamily we learn that during the last months hp was with tberahis life was all thej could desire, and he gave the satisfactory evidence that he was restor ed to divine favor and was ready and willing to go. To the bereaved ones wc would My thatthey huveour heartfelt sympathy in this dispensation of Providence and may the Lord help them so to live that they may meet their loved ones in hea ven. Remember children, how suddenly your father was ta ken away, and this should warn you that yxu may be taken at any hour. "In the midst or life weare in death." Prepare, oh! children, pre pare for that solemn hour. G. V Trivetie, Tbe Confederate Bennton. Editor Demociat: ' It would proye abortive were we to attempt to give a detailed description cf the of fiicial program of the receut sessions of the United Confed era te Veteran's Association held in Louisville,' Ky., May 30th, June 3rd. It is sufficient to say the meeting was a grand success in every particular, saving the weather. Rain prohibit ed much ot the exercises ap pearing on time. The bom bardment of fort Donaldson was put off from Thursday evening till Saturday night. So also the fire-works and parade was postt oied and only appeared Saturday and Saturday night; all these ex ercises were brilliant affairs. But to know anything of the enjoyment of these reun ions one must be present, no pen can describe it. To the people of Kentucky and especially to Col. Rurnet H. Young and James A Shuttleworth are the old sol diers of North Carolina in debted for much of their en joympnt. To the two gentle men above named and to Col. Uarr of our own State is due the fact that North Carolina had, and maintain ed the grandest headquarters of any State represented in the reunion. To them is due the honorable position North Carolina occupied, both in the Reunion Hall, and in the parade, being a-varded first place in both. - The Reunion Hall, or Audi torium was the largest struct ure we have yet seen built for Reunion purposes, holding 10,000 chairs. The number of old soldiers attending was said to be in excess of any former Reun ion. The entertainment wa all one could wish. Col. lien net H. Young ana James A. Shuttleworth were the hosts ot the "Tar heels" nnn right royally did thpy the honors. Our incident asillustraiing the feeling of the Blue and the Gray, may not be amiss. When the good wishes and fraternal greetings of the;G A. R. was presented from aen. Daniel Sengles. and a proposition was madeforac ceptunee and reciprocation of the sa me. Some one arose for remarks, and proceeded to inveigh against the recep tion. As soon as the old vets caught the trend of his dirt course 'they howled him down. Thousands at once crying, "putjTiiin out, kick him out," nor did they cense their noisy demonstrations so long as he remained on theijtdnd. One other incident we would relate. When the daughter and granddaugh ter of president Davis was presented to the convention, Gen. Gordon after introduc ing them turned and kissed the granddaughter, amid th shouts of the old soldiers to "pass it round." The ladies of Louisville seemed untiring in their en deavors to entertain jind n muse theold soldiers. Each evening they gave music and amateure theatricals at our headquarters, much to the delieht of all. But realizing that, any thing I might say only is tame in view of tbe facts, I'll quit. 'i,A,P, NO. 23. the Amendment Hot a Party Keatmrv WiliohTimeai It seems to us that the con sideration of the Amendment is far above the average po litical question. In fact, it appeals to the interests of all, regardless of politics. 1 There fore it should not be termed as a Democratic measure, but the people's measure a measure framed by the best men of all political parties. We mean this: if all the white men of North Carolina, irres pective of party, could have assembled in a great conven tion, and ftubmitted onr uf frage amendment to the peo ple for ratification, it would not have improved the a mendment, or the object of of the amendmeent, but it might have removed the un reasonable objection that it is a Democratic measure. With a great muny men in the State this object ion is uot counted, especially in the east where the ngro and his baneful effects is in evidence everywhere; but in the westi among some Republicans who are not so familiar with the conditions of the east, they do oppose it. But eyen som of these are departing from party lines in order to rid the east and their own party ti-om this negro incu bus, By the time it. comes to a vote all white men in North Caroli na will find that the n doption of the amendment appeals directly to the best and most intelligent citizen ship, and will regard it not as a party measure, but a measure that vitally affects thp oest interests of all our. people and the entire State. It is claimed that; Roberts found a city empty of Boer Sol diery when lie entered Pretoria; that the burghers had been pre paring for that event for some time, and that there is method in their pre&ent system of coaduc ting the war. It is declared that the Boers have preserved their guns and are amply prepared for another year of as vigorous figh ting as they have practiced for t he past eight moitths, and that it is their determination to wear Great Britain out and compel a sel tlement which shall leave the republics as independent as they were at the beginning of the hos tilities. Ex. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. 1 - ' Kidney trouble preys upon the mind. dl courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cneeriuiness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order' or diseased. -v Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too ottan. If tha urine scalds the flesh or if. whan th Aiu reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon It, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment ef these important orrans. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the Immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized.
