' The Daughters of the Confederacy, . like (he sons and sires of 41 years ago, .. have been forced to surrender. That s Is to say, plainly, that the Rowan f 5 chapter recently wrote to the designer of the Confederate memorial, Mr, Frederick Ruckstuhl, to release them from their obligation and the monu ment Is with him, . in disposal. This decision was reached last week, about v- Lee's birthday, the man who made f such Confederate glory possible, and -' tkere seems to have been a predestined fitness In the capitulation. ; r In the year 1900, the Daughters be k gan a aeries of entartainmonts for the tMiy purpose of erecting a memorial to ' Kowan s uonreoeraie aeaa. unnsuan Keld's thrilling drama, "Under the Southern Cross," stirred the State - "V wherever it was presented, and a neat ' revenue came Into the treasury. Then ' , a Klrmens, such a delightful home tal . i ent affair, drew another 11,000 where t upon Mr. Frederick Ruckstuhl was j given the order, for a 110,000 menu ' ment. The contract specified two years IB which this sum was to be raised and "' upon the payment of $2,500, It was shipped here and is kept -carefully ' guarded and veiled. Little has been " dona Since 1903, the Festa Al Fresca of a week being something of a treasure producer and the bazaar of that fall a failure, though not a loss. The May , - , Fiesta of last year was a financial v fsihtre, three years had passed and but V 14,000 raised. 1 The Daughters have - wearied and they need a rest. - Mr, Ruckstuhl has not yet replied to " this letter and a pleasanter solution la " a'far-eff divine event- It has been a '-' battle of . the women, for the men and - i those devoted Daughters, have done al ' -Most all. It was a colossal undertak '; , ing the raising In a community strug- j ' ' gllng up from poverty and devastating war, 110,000 for a disk of beautiful sen ' tlment. As a work of art, it Is unsur--' passed by any artist's dreams in any land and It typifies a soldierly chivalry ' not. equaled In glory by any age in all V1 the countless cycles of time's mighty pageant.

' CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. An admiring Observer reader sends your correspondent a batch of acci dents that did not result seriously. Last niht when ' Mr. C. W. Tar-1 brough was driving home from Salis bury, dogs went after his horses and made them run away. Although the young man was thrown out on his head, he was not hurt. Thursday, Turner Slmeson, a welKknow young man living near "Spencer, cut his foot badly while chopping wood and Har vey Toung, of the same neighborhood, fell from the bam of Mr. J. Y. Hed rlck while working on it. He was shaken up but hurt little. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Minor, two of Ashevllle's most prominent citizens, originally coming from ytrglnla, have been in Salisbury the past few days with a patient in the Whitehead Stokes Sanatorium. Rev. C. G.

Glbbs. a echool I teacher, charged with the unmercirui whipping of a young boy, the son of Mr. Stokes Wllhelm. The case was heard before a magistrate and Mr. Glbbs was fined $5 and costs. The de fendant gave notice of an appeal, hav ing declared beforehand that he will go to the chelngang rather than pay tribute to Caesar. Glbbs made a poor witness for himself, compound propor tion and Archipelagoes doing little to put him on his guard. He displayed such feeling In the matter that it was taken as a matter of course that he was furiously angry. It developed al so that he had laid a boy up for three weeks on account of a former flogging. Mr. L. Oulda Tyler gives a concert to-morrow night at Mrs. w. h. Neave's. The Choral Club singe.

Toe next time an outside contractor comes to High Point and wants a con tract for fittings or the like for the building he is engaged In erecting-, this foreign Individual had better come prepared to cough up the dough as the work Droceeds. Not lonsr ago a certain contractor came to High Point and se cured two contracts.! When the build ings were nearing completion he coa- traded with a local company for work needed and, as a result of this con tract, the local company lost nearly 11.000. The cause of the loss was negu gence or ignorance of the law. on this matter on the part of the local con tractors, or over-confidence In the man who held the original contract. Any how, when the time came for payment, the money was not forthcoming and in desperation the local concern went to the "paymaster" for the two buildings erected and was informed that all the money due the original contractor had been tald. IUn. Thomas Dlxou Speaks to Ne groes in New York. New Tory Special, 28th, to Charleston News and Courier. The Rev. Thomas Dixon spoke to day at the Church of Epiphany on the subject, "What Can we do With the Negro?" On the platform with Mr, Dixon were several negro clera-ymen, and fully a fourth of the audience were negroes. 'I speak not as a Southern- er. but as a typical American " said Mr. Dixon. "I speak with no 111 feel- ing. I simply desire to do the negro justice, to help solve his terrible prob lem and point out to you the solution which I believe to be the best. Z think that in 60 years the 9,000.000 of negroes on this continent could be brought in to some district country, where they could have law, literature, life and a flag of their own." Mr. Dixon spoke of the attacks of negroes on white wo men &nd continued; "You never hear of a white man assaulting' negroes. Why? 'Because assault Implies resistance, and no colored woman knows what virtue means." HALF THE WORLD WONDERS how the other half lives. Those who use Bucklen's Arnica Salve never wonder if It will cure Cuts, Wounds, Burns, sores and alt Skin Eruptions; they know it will. Mrs. Grant Shy, 1130 E.

"Truly miraculous seemed the re covery ot Mrs. Mollle Holt, of this place," writes J. O. R. Hooper. Wood ford, Tenn., "she was so wasted by coughing up pusa from her lungs. Doctors declared her end so near that her family had watched by her bed side forty-eight hours; when, at my urgent request, Dr. King's New Dis covery was given her, with the as tonishing result that improvement be gan, and continued until she finally completely , recovered, and is a healthy woman to-day."
