Independence, Blny 518,1883. i
As will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns this morning, Gov.
Vance has called a meeting of the
Mecklenburg Monumental Association,
organized. June 26, 1875, to be held in
The Observer editorial rooms, at half
Jast 8 o'clock, next Monday evening,
t is understood that an effort will be
made to reorganize the association un
der the act of the Legislature incor
porating! the society, rather than
the formation of anrnawororanWar.irtn
and 'take such steps asjwill - carry out
the object of the original tncdrporators,
which is the erection of a monument
in honor of the Mecklenburg Declara
tion or independence, May 20th, 1775.
This is the third attempt which , has
oeen made to erect a monument com
memorative or the ; event referred to.
une enort was made and an association
was formed, ve belieye, as far back as
1836, tut for some reason no monument
was erected. A portion of the funds.
some sixteen n una red dollars, as we
nave been informed, were loaned out
to parties who afterwards if ailed, ; and:
the balance is in the hands of Mr. J. H.
wiison, wno stated i the organization
bttne second iassoctationi June 26, 1875.
that he was still holding it In trust for
the purpose of building the monument
Another association was suggested on
the 4th day of February, 1875, at the
meeting addressed Dy uov. uraham in
the court house on that occasion. . An
act of incorporation was asked for of
the Legislature, which through the ex
ertions of the members of that body
from Mecklenburg was duly enacted
into a law. On the 26th of June, 1875,
under tnis act, a number of the incor
porators met at the law office of Gov.
Vance and leeallv organized, electing
the Governor President of the Associa
tion. At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Centennial Celebra
tion Association, held in The Obser
ver editorial rooms, March 15th, anti
cipating the probable incorporation of
the. association suggested on the 4th
day of February previous, was passed
a resolution as follows:
On motion it was further resolved
that the committee (the centennial ex
ecutive committee, of which Dr. 'Jo.
Graham was chairman, that gentleman
being in the cnair) designated as a gen
eral managing committee, will har
monize with the committee appointed
by the meeting of the 4th of Feoruarv."
thus practically unifying the two asso
ciations : the one to be restricted to the
centennial celebration proper, and the
other going on under authority of law,
co-operating ' with the first yet still
holding in view the erection of a monu
ment for which purpose it had been
created.
This last association was organized
as has been stated on the 26th of June,
1875, but beyond the mere organization
no steps have ever been taken to build
the monument Fori the purpose of
defraying the expenses of the Centen
nial ueiepration or 1875, tnere was
raised under the auspices of the execu
tive committee, about six thousand
dollars. It was all used in the legiti
mate expenses of the occasion, excent
$1,039.99, which it was expected would
be turned over to tne monumental as
sociation proper. It was. deposited in
the Bank of Mecklenburg, and before
any steDS were taken the bank failed.
Mr. John C. Burroughs, the treasurer of
the centennial committee, however,
proved the claims of the association be
fore the register in bankruptcy and re
ceived and receipted lor the dividend.
He has now in his hands about one
hundred dollars belonging to that fund,
and in addition he has a number of
medals, both silver and bronze, and
several hundred copies of Gov. Gra
ham's book, containing the evidence of
the authenticity of the Mecklenburg
Declaration. Properly managed, from
all these sources, hot .less than five hun
dred dollars can oe realized.
Now. if we go to work and re-organize
the old 'association; and put a little
vitality into it, there is no doubt we be
lieve but that the Ladies Monumental
Association, which now . has in charge
the erection of a monument to our Con
federate dead, will co-operate with the
reorganized association. If this can be
done we can start out with a fund of
not less than a thousand dollars, which
will form a nucleus of no mean propor
tions.
Besides all this, we have a firemen's
monumental association, which, now
has a fund of .some nine hundred dol
lars, and it is possible that all three
funds can be consolidated : at least we
will never know until we try.
Taken all in all, however, we think
The Observer can promise to-day that
a monument in honor of our immortal
Declaration of Independence, as well
as in memory of our Confederate dead,
will be unveiled on independence
Sauare on the Twentieth Day of
May. 1882.
We have already offered to subscribe
$100 to such an object and we know of
one gentleman who will put down $250,
and another $100. We shall continue
to urge this matter, confident that In
tend the. patriotism of our people
will be equal to the occasion, and when
the. work shall have beett done we will
feel not more pride in the accomplish
ment than should fill the breast of tne
humblest citizen.

Tha excitement in regard to the re
vision of the New Testament having
at last reached Charlotte the reporter
interviewed several ministers on the
subject, yesterday, with the following
rasuc: '
Dr. A-W. Miller, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, said his Presby
tery viewed it merely as a matter of
literary interest. The revision was un
authorized so far as it was concerned
and it would not be adopted by it
Many of his church did. not want the

be unnecessary. The English and

sociations of the Bible and ouid not
be sacrificed without injury. There
were some corrections necessary, it was
true, but these could be 'explained by
any sufficiently informed pastor from
tne pulpit in reading tne chapter. Such
for instance as the word "prevent"
which is used in its ancientsense and
expresses the idea of "anticipation" or
'going before, whereas it now means
to hinder, .besides the men engaged
in the work were not competent to im
prove upon the King James's veision.
The agu culd not convene so able a
body of men as that which satin West
minister Abbey. It was too superficial.
There was more information but a
great deal less of learning. '
mi. . 11 ! A. S a.
i nere was anuiuer oDjecuon. xt was
a one-sided work. All the discretion
ary power was in the hands of Episco
pal .England. The American commit
tee was supernumerary. They could
only make suggestions. It was in the
power of the .English committee to de
cide w"hether they should be adopted or
not The inference was admissible
that whatever was repugnant to the
Episcopal creed in the text might suf
fer. His principal obiection, however,
was that it is unnecessary. The old
version was good-enough." It was an
cient and its associations made it sacred.
It was the work of great and learned
men With, whose qualifications for the
task none at this day pan compete. He
believed that it could not be improved
on and it should not be disturbed.
Bev. Fattier L. P. O'Connell said that
the alterations were merely verbal.
The prominent points in dispute had
not been touched. The. translation
was possibly a more, faithful and
literal one than any. tnat nad pre
ceded it, for it 'was well , known that
many interpolations had crept into the
text of the former- translations, but
this did not affect it with his church.
The Catholic church held that she her
self was the Instructress in religious
matters,' and whne she endorsed no
version as a true one, she had signified
taber disciples that they might read the
Douay version, and thus given her
sanction to it The American sugges
tions had been altogether thrown out
by the English revisers. He had just
received a copy, ana iouna among otner
things, the following alteration: In I
John v, 7, the Catholic translation
reads: "And there are three who give
testimony in Heaven : The Father, the
Word and the Holy Ghost; and these
three are one." In the translation just
made, I John, v, 8, reads: "For there
are three who bear witness, the Spirit
the Water and the Blood; and the
three agree in one.
This translation was very weak and
not at all pointed, and determined like
. i 11 TT 1
tne uatnouc version, jxo was, uuw
ever, very glad to see it in any shape,
since this is the strongest text in the
Scriptures in proof of the Holy Trinity.
Rev. Wm. R. Atkinson, principal of
the Female Institute, furnishes the fol
lowing opinion: "The revised New
Testament exciting so mucn interest
just now, is not to be regarded merely
as a new .English version or tne origi
nal Greek, but as in many instances, a
revised text necessitating a different
translation from the present version;
which difference, however, in nojsingle
text received by the best scholars for
the last fifty years effects the meaning
or doctrines of the testament
In the same way in which there exist
different MSS of more or less authori
ty, of many profane writers, one differ
ing from another in the carefulness of
the transcription from a higher source
nearer the original, or in the liberties a
transcriber would take with the text,
there have existed different MSS. of the
New Testament copied at different
times and in different countries, differ
irom each other as much or as little as
might the copies of the same original
Moo, oy two or moremwereuu wrtttsta.
During the last hundred years biblical
scholars and critics have nad access to
more important and authoritative MSS.
than were thought of by the transla
tors of our common version, in the
early part of the seventeenth century.
There are three such MSS. of more
value than all the rest the Sinaitic,
Vatican and the Alexandrian, given in
the order of their merit The first was
discovered about twenty years ago by
Fischendorf, and is regarded as the
finest uf all the MSS. A printed edi
tion of it is nrobablv in the library of
every minister who can read his t testa
ment in the original lirees. it is gen
erally edited with marginal "readings,"
showing how this Sinaitio version dif
fers from the Greek of the Vatican, the
Alexandrine and of the "receiv
ed version" .from which our com
mon English Bible was translated.
And I will venture to say that there
are few changes made either in the
version pi in the . English translation,
which any intelligent minister who is
in the habit of reading the best Greek
versions (like those referred to above)
would not have anticipated and de
sired.
To sum up the whole thing, this new
version, just -given to the world, is
merely such a translation as you would
expect a scholar to make who was read
ing the most trustworthy edition of the
original Greek Testament he could find,
to a critical and orthodox audience.'!
Some of the ministers were out of
the citv and the others had formed no
opinion in regard to the revision, and

Senv-A Hon Base Colored View o
. tne ttlno taaa waa fron ToMerdar
A few days' age a letter was received
in the business office of The Observer
from Baltimore, stating the fact that
there had been an extraordinary rise in
the value of the Btock of the Baltimore
& North Carolina Gold Mining Com
pany; better-kno wn hwe as the "Old
Kay Mine." The letter asked us tolook
into- the matter and fiod out whether
this extraordinary rise in the stock was
due to the, real increased value of the
mining property as an investment or.
whether tne stock was being "bulled"
by speculators in their individual inter
est In the effort to get at the "true
inwardness" of the situation, The Ob
server yesterday morning "bit off
more than it could chew," or to be more
- JP10 didnt get down to the hot-
tom Of the matter.
Mr. James Robertson, the sunerin
tendent of the mine, and a worthy gen
tleman as we have reason to believe,
called early in the morning to see "the
man who wrote that article," and he
was in anything but an amiable frame
of mind. He was politely informed
that The Observer had no interest
whatever in the price ef the stock of
the mine, and if any wrong impressions
had been created, none would be hap-
p.er than we to correct it. He then
stated that the mining company had
been reorganized nearly a year ago, and
that for about eleven months he had
been in the employ of the company as
the superintendent of the mine. Most
of that time had been taken in putting
up the machinery, which includes a five
stamp mill, and in sinking three shafts'
one 115 feet, one 75 feet, and the other
72 feet In the 72 feet shaft, at 85 feet
from the top of the ground, the vein
found would average about two feet.
and in both the others the vein was
from 1 foot to 18 inches across. Ore
taken from the mine had been assayed
by Mr. Stewart, of the firm of Stewart
& McDowell, and found to be worth
about $166 per ton. This was only a
fair average specimen of the ore. No
assays had been made at the United
States assay office in Charlotte, for the
reason that the stamp mill had only
been worked about 36 hours altogether.
and the result had been eminently sat
isfactory. Mr. Stewart's critical assay
developed the fact that much of the ore
already taken out, perhaps a hundred
tons, contained gold mixed with sul
phurets. which could onlv be reduced
satisfactorily in some reduction works.
This ore was really thought to be more
valuable than the free milling ore. Al
together Mr. Robertson gave a very rose
colored view of the value of the mine.
and ms ability to work it to the satis
faction of the stockholders.
Mr. R. M. Oates. one of the directors.
quoted yesterday, so far as he knew,
substantially confirmed Mr. Robertson's
statement, and declared that in his opin
ion tne recent rise in tne value of the
stock in the mine, was really owing to
the increased value of the mine as it
was being developed. He had heard
and believed that during the first
twelve hours the 5 stamp mill had been
run, 155 pennyweights of gold had been
realized, and tnat tne company nad
faith enough in it to invest $20,000 in
the plant.
These statements were afterwards
confirmed by Mr. John Wadsworth, who
had recently visited the mine, and who
was mucn pleased witn tne work done
by the superintendent, and the value of
the stock as an investment.
There are one hundred thousand
shares of the stock in the company, one
dollar being the par value of each share,
and a year ago the shares were only
worth 7 cents. Day before yesterday
the stock was quoted at $2.50 to $2.60.
The day before it was quoted at $2.30.
or a rise of 80 cents in one day. Mr.
Robertson is confident it will goto
$5,00, and The Observer hopes it will
go as nign as $500.
Probable Fatal Ilnnaway,
Mr. Kimball, of Fort Mill, was driv
ing along the road in front of Mr.
Niel Bakers house about two miles
and a half from the city yesterday
morning when his horse took fright
and made a mad dash down the road.
Mr. Kimball was thrown from the
buggy and came in violent contact
with the ground. The back of his
head struck against some hard sub
